How to make your presence known on the Web?
“We are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain.” Stephen Hawking
Steps to get started:
1) In the mind – “Everything begins with an idea.” Earl Nightingale
2) Domain name – Your domain name is essential to your website. In simple terms, it a way to let other people know what you are about. An example your domain name is shoes. On seeing your domain name, people will know that your website is about shoes and things relating to it, in some shape or form. It’s not a shirt, soap, or stocks, it’s about shoes. If this is your first time creating a website, you might want to have your domain and hosting provider to be the same. Doing this will make it a little bit easier; however, if it is different, you will have to transfer your domain name to your hosting provider.
3) Hosting Service – Make your domain name accessible to the internet mostly through servers.
4) WordPress – Website creation tool download it at https://wordpress.org/
5) Theme – What your website is going to look like. In the past, you had to go college to learn a bunch of codes in order to build a website. But that’s not the case anymore; you just have to pick a theme, which is much easier. There are two types of themes; free and premium themes. Where to go to get themes? You can get a lot of free themes at https://wordpress.org/
The other theme is the one you pay for; mostly called premium theme. Plenty of sites are willing to sell themes to us, here is one of the bigger sites. https://themeforest.net/ The most important thing in picking a Theme is to be sure it a Responsive Theme. A Responsive Theme let the user view your website on various devices like tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices. With the responsive theme, your website will adjust to fit on any screen sizes.

6) Plugin – It is a specific tool that helps you build your website according to your personal specifications and preference. Just go to your WordPress, navigate through your dashboard then go down to Plugins and click on “Add new.” There are thousands of plugins to choose from.

8) Backlinks – It is a popularity contest that is one way to look at it. If popular websites like Facebook, Wikipedia, and others recognize your site, the more popular your site gets. When a web page links to any other page, it’s called a backlink. A Website with many backlinks has a tendency to rank higher on search engines.
9) AdWords – When you search for something on Google, you get a list of things you are looking for. Most of the time, all the way on top of the list, you see Ad sign next to a link. Usually, that website used Google AdWords. If you want to advertise your business, simply click on this link: https://www.google.com/adwords/?channel
