So yesterday I registered my new domain name www.dodietswork.com and as mentioned in the previous post it will be at least 48 hrs before I can upload the content. So in the meantime I will be very busy sourcing the content for the site,  but before that if you are just starting out and are wondering how I am going to get my site populated quickly and create a professionally designed and a functional website, the best place to look and now the most popular way to creating a site, is by using Wordpress (blogging software). Now look you can learn to do this yourself but depending on your current level of computer literacy will depend on how quick or long it will take you to build your site.  However if you want to find out how you can cut your learning time down to a minimum take a peek at my tuition video.

On with my task, so while you are waiting for your domain to be propagated, you should be sourcing content for your website, depending on the market you are in you will also have to decide what it is you are going to promote or sell. Now when most people first start out they create a website and add tons of affiliate links from any number of affiliate providers. Listen don’t make this mistake focus on your core product, for example all the products promoted on my new diet site will obviously be diet related. That way you will create more opportunities in gaining sales, simply because I anticipate that the people who visit my new site will be interested in them.

Now unfortunately if this is you first website you will have to wait until you have some content live before you can sign up to some of the bigger affiliate providers, for e.g. Commission Junction, TradeDoubler, LinkShare and AffiliateWindow, they all require to see your site before you are accepted into the programme. The majority of companies listed have a policy, basically they are checking to see if your site is suitable to promote their products. But don’t despair one of the quickest ways is to register for ClickBank and source some relevant digital products to get you started.

So in summary during the waiting time I visit all my affiliate providers to source products I can add to the site and start to put together relevant content to support the affiliate link. So when my site goes live I can quickly upload my content.

Find out what I will be doing on Friday the 13th (It will not be unlucky I can assure you) Stay tuned.
