WORK AT HOME: CREATE YOUR OWN WEBSITE

Instead of signing up for survey sites, data entry jobs, etc., Why not create your own website and be your own boss?? "Yeah right", you say, "How do I make money from that?"
Having a website is very similar to leasing a property in a commercial area, it's just that you're renting a virtual space and not a physical one. The best advantage? The rent is cheaper, the market is infinite, and you can sell whatever you want, from services, to products (both new and used), and what more? you can earn through advertisers. So It doesn't matter if you do have a product to sell or not, as long as you generate traffic to your site, you will never go zero.
So how do you go about putting up a website? Most people get scared by just having the thought of setting up a web page, much less a website. But no worries, as long as you know how to browse the internet, and use a computer, you're all set. The fact that you are reading my blog means that you are knowledgeable enough about computers.
First off- choose a domain name that's easy to remember and one that reflects what's in your website. You don't want people guessing what "ka-chakahan.com" has to offer. If you're domain name is one that is not easily understood or recognized, chances are, no one would be interested enough to take a look at it and see what it has to offer. Think of a name that will go on and live forever. Did you know that you can also profit by selling your domain name? Because in the future, the time might come that there would be no more domain names left and people would have to pay more to get one.
So where and how do you register a domain name? There are a lot of domain registrars available, there’s, godaddy.com The fee would be around $11.00 a year for a .com domain, .net is a little cheaper, however, I would suggest getting a .com because it’s more recognizable.
After you register your name, the next step is to set-up hosting. What is hosting, it is that virtual space where you put your virtual store. It’s like finding a property for the store that you want to set up. There are a lot of web hosts available, fatcow.com for one hosts for as low as 3.67/month.
So instead of going around the internet to find for lucrative work-at-home opportunities, why not just set up your site, and have your own business, who knows, you might be able to make it big time!
