			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever thought about what if you really could build a site? That identical idea has occurred to many people. Some have actually done it. Most others have gotten bogged down within the negatives somewhere and never started.</p>
<p>Wait a second! Are those really valid reasons? Did they really look at the positive side? Did we consider the reasons for building a website? The issues in favor of going online? Maybe we should have a more balanced approach. Let&#8217;s consider 5 reasons for you to build a site, in order to see if any one of them fit here.</p>
<p>First, building a website can be a very fun venture that can occupy your time in a more positive manner. Sure, I understand your objection that building a website can be difficult. Certainly that is a valid objection. However you ought to consider that with the many tools in the website building market, many of them make it extremely easy to build a site. </p>
<p>And moreover, you will need to consider that many of the website creation tools out there are totally free and highly respected by Google. A good example of this would be Squidoo. Have you ever heard of them? They allow you to build a site called a lens.</p>
<p>Secondly, building a website can be profitable. The primary reason for that is many people and businesses go online today to find what they are looking for in products or services. Many individuals are running global businesses from their homes and making a lot of money. </p>
<p>And in addition to thinking of what business to build a site on, the sky is the limit of what you can go into. Do you know what a niche is, or a micro-niche? I will give you an example: Golf is a niche, golf shoes is a micro niche.</p>
<p>Thirdly, if you build a site online and it becomes very successful, you can quit your job. Wouldn&#8217;t that be great to fire the boss? A lot of people can not stand the people they work for. If that is your case, then you have even more incentive to lose that job. And also with a job, you are limited to the amount of income you can earn. When you become creative and go online, if it is business you are interested in, you really do not have to have an income ceiling!</p>
<p>Fourthly, along with having more creative fun, and being able to earn money and work from home, you can have a lot more time off to spend with your family. You also can give up the daily commute. I don&#8217;t know how long that is for you, but it usually starts a lot earlier than the actual drive. </p>
<p>When you build a site and work from home, you can get up, work a spell and shower and dress later. You have heard of people working in their underware, well it is true, and you can join them.</p>
<p>And the fifth reason, when you build a successful website of a business nature, it can offer you many tax benefits. I am not offering tax advise but in my own case, I have seen deductions on new computers, online training, tools, internet expenses and much more. </p>
<p>To be successful incurs expenses and the US Government is willing to help you out there. It is good for the economy. If it were not for entrepreneurs who succeeded and become rich, we probably would not have a middle class.</p>
<p>Within all the above informatilon lies a great list of reasons in favor of building a website today. It is certainly not all of the reasons, but it is a good start. What is your opinion on the matter?</p>
<p>Now, after all that, what do you say? Isn&#8217;t that a strong case in favor of building a website? What if you really could build a site and make your life a lot more wonderful in so many ways?</p>
<p>If you happen to take a look at all of these reasons and evaluate them carefully, you will need to admit that a very compelling case can be made for considering how to build a site and go online today. Many people are not even interested in the financial aspect of building a website but they still make money anyway.</p>
<p>How? They install affiliate offer codes on their sites and earn money automatically. Have you ever noticed the small Google ads, banners and advertising on most websites these days? Many people earn passive income from those ads and they do no active work at all to earn that money. They just play with the creative aspects of their sites and have fun.</p>
<p>Just think it over. Maybe, just maybe, you really, in all seriousness, ought to build a site today!</p>
<p>Check out my <a href="http://build-a-website.edu.tc">build a site</a> video. It can point you to a source that is actually being taught in over 30 universities. And go here for more great tools on how to <a href="http://build-a-website.edu.tc">build a website</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people don&#8217;t automatically consider disability as a hindrance in surfing the web (and nor should they &#8211; it isn&#8217;t!), but strangely webmasters often overlook some of the most obvious practical ways of making a site accessible to everyone. There&#8217;s obvious benefit to you, the site owner &#8211; you&#8217;ll have more visitors. A great many people are surfing the web who are disabled &#8211; and it&#8217;s not just the visually impaired, who are the first group to spring to mind (even most non-disabled people have heard of Jaws, the screen reading software). With just a few small tweaks, you can make your website much more accessible &#8211; and therefore accessed more. </p>
<p>Thinking about screen readers </p>
<p>As a Dreamweaver user, you should already be familiar with CSS rather than table layouts. If you design your sites with CSS, it&#8217;s more beneficial &#8211; the navigation is made easier and someone who is visually impaired can jump straight to the &#8220;interesting parts&#8221; of the site that take their fancy, before their reading software has had to tediously go through the entire page to see what they want. Remember, pictures are useless in this setting &#8211; the alt tag is the simplest way to form a description in place of images. Flash presentations are lost on a visually-impaired audience, so make sure that if you use them, you describe what they are in a way that doesn&#8217;t hinder their enjoyment and experience of the site. </p>
<p>Thinking about navigation </p>
<p>Some conditions, such as dyslexia, aren&#8217;t often thought about in the realms of being a disability &#8211; but they are. If your site is clean and the navigation obvious, it will be a whole lot less stressful to any user, not just those with learning difficulties, dyslexia, or any other condition that means your site impairs the ability to get around it. A &#8220;help&#8221; section is also important in this way &#8211; it&#8217;s fine to have an online chat assistant, but some people cannot type at the same words-per-minute as everyone else (they may be using voice recognition software, or any number of physical motor aids). Make sure there is always an alternative (sending an email, for example), before you turn over entire sections of your site that is something difficult to use. </p>
<p>Thinking about outside help </p>
<p>There is an excellent system in place for webmasters on how to make a site accessible, called the Bobby Worldwide Web Accessibility tools. They have produced a report on accessibility guidelines that all webmasters should aim to meet. It&#8217;s automated, so isn&#8217;t perfect, but should give you an idea to any glaring problems in your site design. You can even get an Accessibility rating at the end of it, and if you meet the highest (AAA) standard, it should feel good to add that to your site&#8217;s front page. </p>
<p>All in all, accessibility is something that isn&#8217;t thought about enough when designing websites. Not out of ignorance or lack of effort, but just because webmasters aren&#8217;t sure what they have to do, or how to do it. Some ways of making a site accessible are so simple and quick, it&#8217;s well worth putting in the effort. More visits, happier surfers and a larger site audience should be motivation enough!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These days it seems that everyone is talking about social media. Networking platforms like Twitter and Facebook have exploded in the past two years, but the billions of users they have aren&#8217;t just restricted to young high school kids that want to share photos with each other. More and more business professionals and even entire brands are creating profiles and collecting followers through these emerging media outlets. The result of this phenomenon has been termed social marketing or more specifically social media marketing and the implications it has for how business will market and profit in the next decade are enormous.</p>
<p>Strictly defined, social marketing is the practice of using social influential media outlets, like networking sites and other online communities, for the purpose of marketing a product or conducting customer relations and public outreach. In recent years, the user bases of these types of sites have grown exponentially, creating these mass markets of demographically diverse people all able to be reached through the same forum, the networking site itself. Now that businesses have caught on to the fact that, when handled properly, they too can create personalities that exist to communicate with their audience solely via the social media channel, marketing through these media has grown as well.</p>
<p>A business can benefit from social marketing in a plethora of different ways, but one of the most important is the fact that it is a great place to share links to your website and thus pick up an enormous amount of regular traffic. Bloggers and informational website owners have been using networking sites to share their product for years, why shouldn&#8217;t the same awareness raising techniques work for businesses with something to sell? </p>
<p>While social marketing activity can indeed help you make sales, remember to use a more delicate approach than you would in a normal marketing atmosphere. Users of social media are very sensitive to infiltration by salesmen that want to corrupt the very organic nature of the connections you can make there. Focus instead on building credibility and relationships with your current and potential customer base. When the time comes they will be a great asset for spreading the word about a new product or partnership. Another thing to remember is that it is almost always a good idea to develop separate personal and business accounts. Even if your personal account lists you as the CEO of the company, it is better to have distinct outlets for your brand and your personality to express themselves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having a functional website is what people in various businesses need. Through the World Wide Web, they can do a smorgasbord of activities like selling and buying stuff, research and even plain establishments of connections with friends, strangers or just to kill free time. However, when making a website, we must remember to consider various things that our web hosting servers are offering things that would give us an unparalleled performance.</p>
<p>Here are the few things you should remember:</p>
<p>The price of service:  Some web hosting sites offers free services regarding setting up a website. However, most sites demand a certain price which usually ranges from three to ten dollars depending on the contract that they have. Now, if you are setting up a website just to upload your summer photos, you might want to consider going for the cheaper ones because it is usually the minimum service that those sites can offer. Hence, even the cheaper ones can have the same service. But if you are setting up for business purposes, you might as well go for sites with premium services because they usually have exclusive offers.</p>
<p>The disk space:  The disk space refers to the amount of items that you can put on your website like photos, videos, articles and other things that occupy internet space. The best web hosts usually offers unlimited disk space for your website. It means that you can put unlimited amount of photos, articles or videos for whatever purposes your website needs. Unlimited disk space is usually best if you are doing an online business because you can never tell when the business would need huge advertising materials or services.</p>
<p>The Bandwidth:  Bandwidth refers to the amount of data that can be transferred from a site to  the user. If you are only putting up a website so that your friends can look at a handful of photos or read something, maybe you can opt for the lesser bandwidth. However, if you are uploading videos or a huge amount of photos and articles, you might as well go for web hosting sites that offer unlimited bandwidth so that your friends or clients can watch videos without interruptions.</p>
<p>Protective Measures:  Websites are often attacked by various viruses that disrupt your online work. When building up a website, make sure that your hosts offers some kind of protection for your mails and contents or better yet opt for those hosts with topnotch protection services to save your website from crashing. Moreover, look for money back guarantees in case they offer good services only at the start. Money back guarantees, as name suggest, it enables you to receive the amount you paid in case that you found their services to be of low quality or if they had a problem and your site keeps on crashing.</p>
<p>So now, you have the basic things to remember about setting up a website. Sure, there are other services as well and other things to remember but the things above are a part of the important things that you should look into. You might as well do research on what sites offers the best services for you to have an idea of how they work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, many talented ad sales people have started their own freelance business which opens another option for you when looking for someone to sell your advertising space.  You can go the traditional route and hire a person or firm on a permanent basis or you can hire a freelancer who works on the side for commission only or on a part time basis. Here are some things to think about to help you decide.</p>
<p>How many hours each day or week do you need an ad sales person?</p>
<p>This is an important point to consider as it will help you decide if you want to offer a permanent salaried position to someone or choose the less risky freelance option. If you just need a hand now and then or want to experiment with trying new things, hiring a freelance sales person would probably be the best choice.</p>
<p>How experienced is the potential candidate?</p>
<p>Experience is important because someone who is well versed on design, production, and sales terminology will be able to communicate more effectively early on. They will need less hand holding which means they are more productive right out of the gate.</p>
<p>Just because the candidate has sales experience does not mean he will be a good match for your type of media. His experience should be directly related to the job function you want him to perform and not just general sales experience.</p>
<p>How is the candidate&#8217;s voice?</p>
<p>Although it is not anyone&#8217;s fault, some people just have a poor speaking voice and sound rather mundane and boring. That&#8217;s why it is good to interview your prospect in person. That way you can judge his verbal skills as you imagine him using the same voice while trying to earn you money.</p>
<p>How does the candidate look?</p>
<p>Your sales person&#8217;s appearance reflects upon your company. Try to meet your candidate in informal and formal settings so you can judge how well he is groomed and dressed. If he looks well put together when seen in an informal situation you can probably assume he cares about the appearance he projects.</p>
<p>What drives your potential ad sales candidates?</p>
<p>Find out if your candidate has ambition by asking him where he wants his career to be in five years time. If he seems to be content with the idea of working for you 9-5 and taking the standard yearly holiday, that could actually be a warning flag to you. </p>
<p>A candidate who thinks big and dreams of owning his own business and becoming rich and successful may also work wonders with your business. Someone practiced at setting personal goals and meeting them is more likely to set and achieve sales goals for your company.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buying all the latest webmaster tools will put a dent in your pocketbook in a hurry. There is always something new coming along and it often carries a hefty price tag. You should know that there are plenty of tools you can get for free that work quite well and will save you a bundle. Here are five free tools you can use to help you get your website up and running.</p>
<p>Keyword Research Tools</p>
<p>Very important for webmasters, the keyword research tools are among the most used webmaster tools. You use these to find phrases and words that people type into search engines like Yahoo and Google every day. If you can find the phrases that are searched for a lot and then build a web page that contains those phrases, there is a good chance you can get your page to the top of the search results and rein in some of those searches for yourself. Keyword tools are very valuable for helping you get traffic and there are free ones that work very well.</p>
<p>Domain Name Checkers</p>
<p>This free webmaster tool is found on every website that sells domain names. You enter your idea for a domain name and the tool checks to see if the name is available for you to buy. If someone already owns it the tool will return their contact info so you can offer to buy it from them. Be prepared to pay a lot if you offer to buy a domain name that way though. If someone owns the name they can charge you whatever they want, you&#8217;ll have to decide how badly you want it and how much you are willing to pay for it.</p>
<p>Link Popularity Checkers</p>
<p>It&#8217;s kind of like high school, the more friends you have the more popular you are. On the Internet, the more friends your website has in the form of links pointing to your site, the more popular it is. A free link popularity checker tells you how many other sites and pages on the Internet link to your website.</p>
<p>Embedded Media</p>
<p>This tool makes your job as a webmaster easier. Many people are afraid of tackling HTML or don&#8217;t have any idea how to. Using embedded media allows a code to be generated that you simply copy and paste onto your web page and you don&#8217;t even have to know HTML at all. Using this tool you can add videos, links or banners to your website in no time. Be sure to copy the entire code though because if you cut part of it off the media will not display on your page.</p>
<p>These are some popular free tools. There are many more free webmaster tools and some really good paid tools too. Anything that makes your job easier and helps you do it faster is good to use. Just take a good look around and make sure they will offer quality resources which match your requirements.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most frequently asked questions I get asked is how do I sell ad space on my website. </p>
<p>Well, the answer to this question is that it does not happen overnight and it is not that easy to do. When it comes to online ad sales that&#8217;s just the way it is. I know this because I have been in the advertising industry for more than 20 years. What&#8217;s more, I have been involved in web advertising since its inception in 1997. Therefore, I am quite well positioned to offer some advice based on personal experiences.</p>
<p>First of all you will have to plan and design your website in such a way that it becomes appealing to your target audience of advertisers. Then you need to drive targeted traffic to relevant sections so you can get advertisers interested in your site. Sound easy?</p>
<p>If you have been doing this for a while then you already know how much work it is to build a successful website. Maybe you have already tried a few advertisers like AdSense, network advertisers, or affiliate commission formats. However, if you can get advertisers to book ads directly and pay the going ad rates you will certainly make more money.</p>
<p>An advantage to this type of advertising is that it can turn into a stable long term arrangement where you actually know your advertisers. In addition, if you decide you want to sell your website in the future it will look more appealing to potential buyers if you have ad spots booked into the future instead of using the more common uncertain methods of generating revenue via networks and contextual formats. </p>
<p>How do you go about this type of revenue generation? First off, you must prepare your website with a professional design and fresh content. Make it look appealing to visitors and potential advertisers. Next you must generate traffic to your website. When your traffic has stabilized at decent numbers then you can sell ad space.</p>
<p>The best way to determine the price to ask for your ads is to evaluate how much the space is worth to the advertiser. Don&#8217;t base your prices upon how much money you need to keep your website going. To attract advertisers and keep them your prices need to be fair.</p>
<p>As an example, if you have a website about mobile phones which caters to consumers you might get a mobile phone related advertiser to spend $15 to $30 for each 1000 page impressions. On the other hand if you have a business to business (B2B) site you can probably get a much higher asking price.  </p>
<p>How much you charge is up to you, just remember not to undersell yourself.  Try to come up with an angle that makes your ad space very appealing so advertisers see its potential and won&#8217;t be scared away by the price.</p>
<p>There are many strategies you can use to determine the price you should charge for your ad space and there are so many formats to choose from. The best advice is to test and then test again. Use one or two ads from friendly potential customers and tell them they can have it for free until you can prove that it works. </p>
<p>Of course then we are moving into stats packages and much more &#8211; and that is another story.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The internet has completely changed in the time that it has been around. What once was a one-way street for people to retrieve information and find out about different products and services has now turned into a completely dynamic, interactive world that allows you to get information, give information, and shop to your heart&#8217;s content right from home. There is so much that the internet has to offer that you have a responsibility as a business professional to offer something different to people to define your place in the online world. </p>
<p>Online marketing has now changed once more, from a business approach to a personable one, requiring you to take advantage of a variety of social networking tools to make sure that you get the most out of your business. You can easily check out other businesses and see how and why they are able to succeed, but you&#8217;ll be hard pressed to find any that don&#8217;t employ social networking tools of some type. By taking the time to learn about how your business can benefit from social networking, you&#8217;ll likely realize that you&#8217;re closer to success than you think, just by making a few friends. </p>
<p>Setting up social networking profiles for your business on sites like Facebook, Twitter, or other online social networks can be a great way to build relationships and give people that personal approach that they want in their internet experience. By allowing them to relate to your business on a personal level, you will be able to see better chances of success, including being able to get the traffic that you need, because people trust you and they trust your business. It isn&#8217;t as simple as setting up these profiles and calling it a day, but it is a fundamental step in your online marketing. </p>
<p>Whether you sell life insurance or sneakers, you need to make people aware of your presence, while at the same time not coming off as pushy, desperate for their business, or needy in any form. Instead, you should make a connection with them on a basic level, influencing the decisions that they make by creating a place where they feel that they can trust your business. There is much more to successful online marketing, but social networking plays a much larger role than many people realize. SEO, link building, and other marketing tools are all great, but won&#8217;t be nearly as effective without that personable image that you give your business through social interaction.</p>
