How To Create An Internet Presence In 10 Minutes

When I started out on the internet in the late 90’s it wasn’t as easy as it is today
to get online and have a presence quickly.

There were ways to create websites, but without knowledge of HTML or the desire to
learn about web design it was a challenge.Most people invested large amounts of money
to have their websites designed.

Today any and everyone can create a web presence online overnight. Yes! You can
have a web presence overnight. However the key is this, doing it right.

I was online in the 2003, but it wasn’t right. The same struggles many are having
today, I didn’t know the key and pivotal elements to getting started online right.

How can one do it right?

1., Blog – Getting a blog is one of the fastest and cost effective ways to getting online
today.

Blogs are easy to update, which means there’s no need for a webmaster to make small
and minute changes.

The cost is either free, small base fee or you can host it yourself. It all depends your skill
level.

One thing, they are built to help you get started right. Search engines love blogs because
they fuel their engine with content.

2., Keywords – These are the keys your audience use in order to find you online. I didn’t
provide my target audience with a set of keys.

Let’s say you have a blog or a website and you’re not getting the results you want. It’s
possibility you haven’t defined your keywords.

This is where a lot of people go wrong online. This is where I struggled. Without keywords
and keyword phrases your website or your blog will forever be lost in the abyss.

These are two strategies I use to capture my target audience, to drive traffic, and build my
business. You can learn all seven key steps when you join me Thursday evening as I present
an online workshop titled 7 Key Steps On How To Get Started RIGHT As An Author Online
OVERNIGHT.,

In this workshop you’ll discover…,
- Key Elements to a Domain Name,

11 Ways You’re Shooting Yourself and Your Business in the Foot,

5 Ways To Improve Sales Through Your Website

Is Your Book Cover a Hit or Miss With Readers?

So your manuscript is sold and you have sent it to a publisher for touch-up. What is missing? Ah…it’s a cover for your new glorious text. Well…what’s the big deal I can let my publishers take care of that aspect right? Not so fast. You’re the author. Therefore, you have the granted power to make authorial decisions. Do not leave it strictly in the publisher’s hands.

What lures most potential customers to buy a book? Is it the content? Sometimes it may be the content. After all, myself I like to read the synopsis of the book before making my purchase decision. But ultimately it is the book cover right? Much like the old adage “you eat with your eyes” the same is true for books. Something with visual appeal regardless of the content is much more likely to be sold over a drab cover.

However, you may have that colorful eye-catcher in mind but does it fit with the story? I cannot tell you how many times I’ve run across texts that have a cover which is may consist of vivid imagination and then the story’s plot may be that of a funeral or disease. By this point I am thinking “Whoa there. If that wasn’t even planned well, how will the book read?”

This is perhaps the most over-looked marketing technique when it comes to marketing your book. And the fact is, publishers like when you can incorporate your own idea or even your own design because that’s less work for them to do. If you know a graphic designer or what’s more are one; perfect! You are now on your way to making that book jump off the shelf or off the web page a little quicker!

Why Are Authors Stuck on a Pretty Website vs. an Effective Website?

The harsh reality of the internet world is that effectiveness reigns in results. However, too often authors and writers immerse themselves in ineffective online habits that are costing them each day.

With millions of websites being loaded onto the World Wide Web, “pretty” doesn’t help authors or writers capture their targeted audiences. It was reported in June, 2007 on SoftPedia.com, approximately 100,000 websites are added to the internet every day.

Competition on the internet is fierce, and every author must remove any road blocks that may be causing them disparaging results with their websites.

More often than not, authors take time from their writing or creativity to figure out website design by obtaining a free website from the many resources available. While wearing their many hats, authors must wear efficiently the Webmaster hat, which takes time and valuable resources.

When designing or putting a website on the internet, there are key elements required to help marketing a website easier for authors and writers. Even when utilizing the services of a web designer, the author must know what to ask.

Internet marketer Tom Antion teaches his students to ask a web designer one key question: “What plan do you have to work my keywords into the design of this site?”

Mr. Antion states that 99% of web designers don’t know these things–they just know how to make websites look nice.

So many authors have fallen prey to this type of thinking when it comes to their websites. Many have become stuck on a “pretty” website verses an effective website. There are several keys to success when creating a website.

Seven Keys to a Successful Website

1. Font Size – (10 to 11 point) Allows visitors to read the site with ease.

2. Font Type – (Georgia, Arial, and Times New Roman) Standard typeset alleviates any misreading from fancy, scripted fonts.

3. Font Color – (White or Black) Keeps the eyes focused. There are times to use blues, reds, or greens on headlines and sub-headlines to draw attention.

4. Background Images – (Solid and Clear) Just like a good book, make sure to remove any distractions from the visitor.

5. Keywords – (Include 5 to 7) Use these keywords throughout the website: Content, Meta Description, Website Page Header, and Alternate Image Text.

6. Media – (Videos, Audio, and Widgets) Eliminate unnecessary videos, music, and extra photo image widgets. These are distractions and drastically slow a page’s opening.

Per USAToday.com, there is still 14% of the population with dial-up internet connections.

7. Clarity – Provide the website visitor a thorough, step-by-step, controlled process.

Authors can implement each of these seven keys to success on their very own. Creating a website presence to capture new readers, new subscribers, more traffic, and growing a following can all be done by learning simple strategies and techniques that are practical and applicable.

One thing authors or writers must keep in mind as they attend their writing workshops or learn how to market a book is that everyone lands on a search engine. The top search engine is Google.com, followed by Yahoo.com, then MSN.com. The author must be included in the results of the everyday web surfer’s search criterion in order to be found.

Just an FYI: “pretty websites” isn’t one of the search criteria.
