If you are starting a web site. These are some of the things that you will need to think about and do some research on. Domain names,auto responders,email account,merchant account and ads. Lets talk about what they are and the importance of these one at a time.
DOMAIN NAME: This is how you get to the web site. This is an example http://www.ddfinlinson0514.com/ . There are a lot of places to get domain names. Put " domain name" in search and you will get a lot of sites to choose from. The one I like is http://www.godaddy.com/ .
AUTO RESPONDERS: To respond to your visitors without being right at the computer all the time. The auto responder uses pre-written responses to send a response to your visitors. An example might be like this: " Thank you for you order." Or " you have already subscribed." This helps to automate the web site. To find sites that offer an auto responder, go to search and put in auto responder. Find the one that will work best for you. The one that I use is http://www.aweber.com/ . They are very helpful.

DOMAIN NAMES, AUTO RESPONDERS, MERCHANT ACCOUNT
Part 2
EMAIL ACCOUNT: Emails help your visitors get in touch with you. It is helpful if you have one just for the web site. Do a search to find the sites that offer emails. ( Note: some are limited to the amount of emails that are in the in box at one time.) The one that I use is Gmail by Google. It holds a lot at one time.
MERCHANT ACCOUNT: This lets you accept credit cards as a form of payment. You can find web sites by doing a search. I use Google for this. One thing with Google, if you have something that the payment comes out every month. They do not do this. They do a good job for the one time payments. Pay pal is ok for the payments that come out every month, but some people have had problems with them freezing their accounts.
ADS: This is to get traffic to your site. If you do not have visitors that buy what you are selling, then no money comes into you. There are some places that you can post them for free. http://www.adlandpro.com/ is one of these. Some sites you pay for what is posted, like pay per click. An example of this is http://www.adwords.google.com/ . It is also good to use more than just one type of ads. You can go to places like http://www.craig/ to post ads, join groups,chat rooms, blogs. ( This means that you will need to do writing things. It is good to have what you are writing be about what is on your site and you can put your site address on them to send them back to your site.) Choose groups and chat rooms that are what your site is about, it drives targeted traffic to your site. They will be more willing to buy what you are selling. You can start your own blogs and direct it back to your site. You can post them to just the area that you are in or to the bigger cities across the country. Some even work for other countries. These are some other places to that you place ads or ways to send people back to your site. ( Think outside the box with some of these things.) :
http://www.backpage.com/ , http://www.myspace.com/ , http://www.facebook.com/ , http://www.youtube.com/ . See what else you can find. If you find other good places for any of the things that I have talked about, I would like to hear from you. Others would also like to know the information as well. I would like your comments.
