Ah, where to begin?

Here is our advice from over 14 years of building and operating websites of almost imaginable niche including travel, dating, casino, marketing, auto, baby, toys and more.

1. Open A Free Email Account
   • We suggest a free email account from either yahoo or hotmail as your primary email account.
   • While a google gmail account gives you much more in the way of marketing tools and related goodies, you want to save your primary email account for the most important contacts. You never want to lose access to this account because you will be using it for affiliate program contacts and renewal notices.
   • Google is your best friend and worst enemy. Google will delete your account ‘at the drop of a hat’ if they think you are spamming or doing anything else ‘bad’. You never want to leave yourself open to being totally ‘shut down’ by the actions of any single outside site.
2. Get Your Own Domain Name and Website
   • As long as you pay your bill, your website will continue to operate.
   • With your own website you can create an unlimited number of email accounts all by yourself. You can use one of these email accounts to create a google gmail and get access to their ‘funbag’ of free goodies like blogger accounts, alerts, Picasa, YouTube and webmaster tools.
   • We suggest that you get an ipage account where your domain name and webhosting space is all included for $42 for the first 12 months.  There are thousands of other webhosting options out there, but ipage gives you unlimited disk space, bandwidth and email along with a one step easy wordpress blog instalation. They also have 24×7 US based phone support which can be invaluable for new website owners.
   • Your domain name should include some appropriate keywords for your intended market niche. The google keyword tool is an excellent free tool that can help you select words.
   • At a later time you can also add more domain names to the same web host space. You can register those names anywhere and point to the ipage server. Godaddy is an excellent place to get deals on more domain names and help find available names from your keywords.
3. Sign Up As An Affiliate To Make Money
   • Unless you already operate a real world business that you want to promote, you need a way to make money online.
   • Amazon has an associates program that is free to join. They have just about every product you would ever want to sell
   • Commission Junction and Linkshare represent thousands of companies that want you to sell their products. These merchants can be quite selective and may not approve new websites. CJ has also been known to delete affiliate accounts if you do something that they or one of their clients do not like.
   • Shareasale generally has smaller client companies that are easier for new websites to represent. But some of these companies are not as established and may discontinue their programs.
4. Start A Twitter Profile
   • By now you know what you are selling.
   • Open up a new twitter profile with an email account from your domain.
   • You want to send your followers to your own domain. Your website posts and links should be sending your followers and customers to the end client (affiliate site) where you are getting your income from.
   • If an outside company stops selling their products, you can change the links on your domain to point to a new product.
5. Cross Promote Your Domain with Your Twitter Profile and Other Sites
   • Using twitterfeed, you can automatically send google newfeeds to your twitter profile as tweets.
   • Using the wordpress twitter tools plugin you can send those tweets to your wordpress blog as posts.
   • Open up a facebook account and link it to your domain.
   • Open a new google gmail account and sign up for a youtube account. Connect the youtube account to your twitter profile and facebook account so that all of your youtube activity is automatically sent to them.
   • Remember to make real twitter tweets, posts and comments. Do not rely upon automated activity to connect you to people on a personal basis.
6. Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket’.
   • Imagine you have 30,000 twitter followers and twitter deletes your profile.
   • Imagine you have 30,000 facebook  friends and facebook deletes your profile.
   • Imagine you made 300 youtube videos and posted them on your site, then youtube/google deletes your account
   • Remember that you can create unlimited email accounts from your own domain.
   • Remember to keep control of where you are sending your followers and customers. You want your own domain to be the middle man for these contact.
   • As a new website owner you may make a mistake that will cause google, twitter, facebook and others to delete your account.  As long you keep your domain ‘in the middle’ between sales leads from those sites your end product, you can make adjustments.

Enjoy your adventure!

Tweeting just got a whole lot easier with the new RSS to Blog feature from social oomph and others.

Now it is easy to
- Make blog posts from any RSS feed
- Tweet those posts to Twitter

Step 1 - Make Blog Posts from any RSS Feed

All of this is done automatically with the professional paid version of social oomph.

“you can now grab one or more (in fact as many as you like) RSS feeds and automatically create blog post entries from the RSS feed entries.”

“it is now possible to populate your blog with hand-crafted scheduled blog posts, combined with posts that are created from external RSS feeds”

“One Blog Feed can feed as many blogs and social networking accounts as you want, and you can feed as many Blog Feeds into one blog and/or social networking account as you want.”

“You access it by:

- Adding your blog to your SocialOomph account.
- Adding a Blog Feed account, and selecting your blog (and other accounts) as the target for the Blog Feed.”

However, if you want a free way to automate your blog with content from RSS feeds, we suggest the word press Feed Word Press plugin. We currently use this plugin on a few of our websites to augment our regular posts.

Step 2 – Send Your Blog Posts To Twitter

Once you have a blog with your own RSS feed, you can then send that feed to your twitter profile with the free twitter feed service. Twitter feed is also a great way to populate your twitter profile with extra tweets from any RSS feed like google news and any other website with an RSS feed.

Another free word press plugin is the free twitter tools plugin. However, this plugin will only send manually written blog posts to twitter. It will not send the posts to twitter that were created in step 1 above. But you can use it for a number of other things like creating blog posts from twitter profile tweets on a per post basis on with daily of weekly recaps. You can also use it to tweet from your wordpress sidebar.

Using the above two simple steps you can now easily “Set up an auto blog and auto tweet system”.
Now, wasn’t that fun!

WordPress is my favored blog website system. It’s what I’m using now. The advantages of creating and running a WordPress based blog are many. The availability of free worpres plugins is the best reason for choosing it.

The Twitter Tools plugin is an excellent example of the free tools that webmasters can get for their blog.All you have to do is copy these plugins to your plugins directory and activate them. The Twitter Tools plugin is best used in the side bar.

After you activate the plugin you can tell it how you want it to run.  I personally use it on some of my blogs to send an automatic tweet to my twitter profile. Everytime I make a blog post, Twitter Tools sends a tweet to the twitter profile I’ve setup for it.

If your blog posts come from RSS feeds to your site, those also go as tweets to your twitter profile. That can cause thousands of tweets to be made in a relatively short time. It also adds onto the tweet spam pile.

Use common sense with this tool! It’s free and it works!
