How To Make A Website
a step-by-step guide
Making your own website can open a world of online opportunity and launch you on your way to achieving your dreams of financial independence.
Here's how. . .
Hi!
My name is Sue Dolan, the creator of this website, The Skin Care e-Learning and Resource Center.
I often hear from curious visitors who send me questions interested in learning how to make a website.
Once upon a time I was interested in same very question because I wanted to learn how to go about building this site but, at that time all those years ago, I struggled to find the information I needed to know.
So, for all those curious minds (like mine), I created this simple, straight-forward step-by-step guide to help anyone interested in making their own website and how to build it into a profitable online home business.
No, I can assure you, you don't have to be a rocket scientist, technological whiz, or cyber genius. I'm certainly not. Starting a business from home on the internet begins with turning on your computer, laptop or even a smart phone.
You do, however, need to free up a few brain cells, (6 to 10 ought to do it) and at least a few hours (or more if you want) a week.
Surprisingly, (even though I admit that I am astonishingly and quite embarrassingly technologically inept), it turned out that learning how to make a website and then figuring out how to earn money online wasn't that difficult at all. I found that it isn't any more difficult than sending an email, writing a word document, setting up a social media page or completing an online form.
You just need the right tools, to dedicate a few hours a week, and easy to understand (step-by-step) information.
From teens to elders, stay at home moms to financially struggling students. . .
In this day and age, starting a business from home using the internet has never been easier.

website builder
Choose a website building program, and website hosting service
Look for a website building program that also is also an all-in-one service.
I choose Solo-Build-It (SBI) because I found it to be the easiest site builder program that includes all the other essential services that you need for making successful website and income generating business, all for $29 a month.
The SBI service includes a site designer tool with tons of options for making a great looking site, website builder program, site hosting, registering your domain name and a plethora of other tools. (Can't beat that, that's for sure).
Income Opportunities
Integrate a variety of ways for your website to generate revenue.
Using your website to grow income can be as simple as including a Google Ad on a web page. (That's what the technologically gifted folk call monetizing your web business!)
Google Ads pay you anywhere from a few cents to several dollars when a visitor to your site clicks on one. Then you might incorporate recommendations for products sold on ecommerce sites like Amazon which pay a commission when visitors make a purchase. There are countless ways to make money on a website, you choose the ones best suited for your topic. The more you plan and the more time you devote to building your web business, the faster your income grows.
marketing
Let people know about your website! Put your website into high gear and start marketing it to the world.
Let's count the ways. . .
- Social Media Announcements:
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest - Email Blast
- Newsletter
- Blog Posts
For my website, I use the integrated set of tools included in the all-in-one site building service offered by Solo-Build-It which allows me to automatically connect with social media platforms, create & send newsletters as well as a blog feature and email marketing tools.
optimize
Website optimization can sound really technical and downright intimidating. But it really isn't.
To optimize simply means ". . .to make the best or most effective use of a situation, opportunity, or resource."
Optimizing a website is ensuring that it operates as smoothly and efficiently as possible to take the full advantage of your opportunities by:
- Focusing on your visitor's experience by making it easy for your audience to get to the content they want.
- Ensure the search engines like Google and Bing list your site in their search results.
- Learn to understand and leverage technology, insights, and feedback to continue to refine your site.
Well, that's my take on "how to make a website" in six essential steps.
