No, you don'thave to go for your wallet, I will tell you about theseprograms in this article (for no charge). A good educationwill assist you the most.

If you already have a website, we recommend a Website Analysis to point out any major areas for improvement.

Before You Build

1. Have a plan - Not just a good idea. Take your idea andformulate a complete plan around your goals. Highlight anyUSP's you may have.

2. Build Meta-tags into every category page! This is crucialto targeted traffic success with the Directories and SearchEngines. You need to be found, not by your company name (only)but by "keywords" that the general public would use to findyour type of business or service. DO NOT just pick any words,this is critical!

3. Use those keyword phrases throughout your site or particularpage (use not abuse). Reinforce what topic you are addressing within that page(content).

4. Publish an article or newsletter that shows you are anauthority on the topics you cover (or try to sell). Just aspiffy sales letter is not enough. This is also critical inacquiring the email addresses of prospective customers.

5. Create some banner ads with impact for future partnershipadvertising. You will use these on your site as well as bannerpartners you can swap impressions with.

6. Begin considering what types of businesses or partners wouldor could compliment your offerings. Start a list.

7. Important: Create a budget for marketing your website.Yes, there are many things that you can implement for free,however, successful websites HAVE spent money wisely to getthem to where they are. Don't be fooled, you WILL spendmoney on marketing your website - it could be potentiallymore than what your website costs you to build. The versegoes like this... "Build it and they won't come". You mayhave already learned this, and that is why you're here. There is much, much more, and we would be happy to help you, but this is a good start.

Good luck with your online business!
