In the part 01 of this series we gave you step by step instructions on how to buy your own dot came name and how to set it up.

Now we will move on to the most important part, which is how to host your web site and how to install blogs/ forums/ classified sites/ news sites/ wiki sites/ and much more scripts with only few clicks.

In order to do this, your hosting provider should have the Fantastico utility. I came across many providers who offer this facility but the best in the business is Hostgator.

All my web sites are hosted there ( all 14 of them) and I do not have a single complain about them.

You can build any of the following web sites very easily.

blogs.
classified sites.
Content management sites.
Customer Relationship sites.
Forums.
E-Commerce Sites.
Image Galleries.
Polls and surveys sites.
Project management sites.
Wiki sites.
And much much more…….

How To Create A Blog?

Once you open an account
( Later I will show you how to do that) you can access their cpanel using the link they send to your email.

Once you are in the control panel, you will see the fantastico deluxe plugging icon which is highlighted in the above image. Double click it.

In the left hand corner you will see all the scripts you can install. In the blogging section you will see 3 types of blogging platforms which you can use. “wordpress” is the best tool without a question. click on that.

Things are just getting easier. Click on the ” new installation” link.

That is it. Choose a user name and a password and you are done. Can it get easier than this? Now you can log in to your wordpress admin area and start adding content to your blog. If you know how to handle MS Word, this is easier than that. Beleive me, even a 10 year old can figure out how to do this. Wordpress is very user friendly.

I am writing a series on creating a blog and how to make money from it.

Here is the index to the complete guide I am writing. I have finished 60% of the areas so far and will be finishing the series within the next couple of weeks.

How To Create A Forum?

Watch this video to see step by step instructions on how to set up a forum as your web site. All other script installations are same as this. ( Forums are a real good way to earn money online.)

For dial up users I am repeating the important steps in the video here.

Once you are in the cpanel double click the fantastico deluxe plugging.

In the left hand side you will see all the scripts which you can install in your server space with few clicks.

Select the web site type you want……
Give a user name and a password as you prefer…
click -click…you are done..Easy as that.

Many web masters will hate me now. But with these instructions any person can build a blog site now.

Setting Up Your Hosting Account.

Although I talked about using Fantastico utility and creating a web site, I could not explain how to set up your hosting account.

This part is very straight forward and does not require any further explanation. But for the use of complete newbies here are the easy steps.

Select the account type which suits your needs from the top of this page.

There are 3 account types for you to choose from. Hosting, Reseller and Dedicated. I would not bother with a dedicated account at this stage. So feel free to explore the functions of other 2 account types and select the one you like.

Use your existing domain name and click the next button.

Select the billing cycle from here.

Enter your billing information and proceed with the order wizard.

That is it. You will receive an email shortly with all your hosting account details.

Pointing your Name servers.

Since you have bought the domain name from godaddy and hosting it with hostgator, you have to point your nameservers accordingly. We have talked about ” How to buy and set up a domain name?” in the part 01 of this series.

Go to Godaddy’s domain manager and find the name servers section. Replace the existing name servers with the name servers you are getting from hostgator’s account confirmation email.

Allow 24 hours to effect the changes. Now you have a brand new blog site :-)

If you like someone else to do this for you, just contact Hostgator support staff and they will happily do the job for you. I normally get things done from them in less than 90 minutes.

It is a wise idea to have not only a blog but a forum as well. Many popular blogs are doing this now. It will multiply your traffic, content and Earnings.

Use our comments section to share your new web site details. I will take a look and guide you further whenever I have a free time.

If you do not have enough capital to build up a business from scratch, an ideal way to start is going online, Build up a virtual company.

But you probably might have come across thousands of ways to earn money online.Now days everyone and their Dog is teaching how to earn money from internet.

But not more than 10% of these gurus have never made a buck before started selling their “How to earn money” guides. So you must be careful with the selections you are going to make. It is true; there are hundreds of legitimate ways to increase your net worth through online activities.

In the past few months, I have personally used a few of them to increase my financial value and had been successful. I will show you one thing you can start doing in the next hour with a $9 capital and with a minimum effort.There are instances where people have made over million dollar profits through this system.

This luxurious business is called domain flipping. Or simply call it domain buy and selling. It is just like real estate business. You buy a land, Keep it for some time, May be do some improvements, Later on sell it with a high profit. The reason real estate is a good business is because the land is scarce. As more and more people buy land, there will be less and less for the rest of the people to buy. So the prevailing land price is increasing all the time.

Same goes with the domain names. Domain names are internet real estate. Each day hundreds of thousands of domains are registered through domain registering services. Imagine all the good “.com” names are already purchased. How much will the value be for these already purchased domain names.

And keep in mind, each year less than 1000 words are added to standard dictionaries. And very few of these carry a commercial value. Imagine if you were able to buy the domain name “iphone.com” before they release the phone. Within the first few weeks of the phone release, more than 10000 iphone related domain names had been bought. And most were resold in the market again for price ranging from $50 to $100,000.

Before going any further, I will show you few of the recent domain sales actually took place. Keep in mind, these all have been purchased originally for under $10 from the domain register.

Investment.com $900,000
settlement.com $200,000
Poker.mobi $150,000
Newlyweds.com $130,000
SexMachine.com $ 55,000

Figures will speak for themselves to show you the profitability of this industry. As I always tell, you should be extremely lucky and highly talented to achieve results like this. But it is a very normal case that you can sell a domain you bought for $9 and sell it for $50- $100 in a very quick time. Sounds fair enough? Let’s cut to the chase.

1. Go and open an account with a domain registrar. I prefer to use godaddy but you can sign up with what ever the domain registrar service you like. Click here to sign up with godaddy.

2. Think of a good domain name to buy. Do not purchase crappy names which do not posses any commercial value. I always prefer to buy “.com” extension names simply because they are the most popular and most valuable. C’mon can you think of internet without good old dot com’s?

3. Purchase the domain name for $9.99 or less.

4. Post your domain for sale on auction sites or in domain market places. One place to do this is “sedo”.I am sure you will come up with many places if you look around google.

5. Until you find a good buyer, park your domain in a cash park and get paid for your visitor activity. Getting visitors and monetizing the cash park is a different story. We will cover them in future updates. This is optional. You can simply opt not to do this if you are lazy.

These are the easy steps you can start applying to earn a moderate daily income. If you are lucky this moderate income can turn out to be outrageous. So it is up for you to decide whether you take this opportunity or simply you can close this page and forget about this.

Each day in life we are presented with small windows of opportunities. Your destiny will be decided upon how you are going to make use of these small windows.This is taken from the book I started reading today,”The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari”. If you get a Chance I highly recommend this book by Robin S. Sharma.

This post carries enough information for a start. You can always get the help of google search to gain extra knowledge about domain buy and sell.  Or else you can get the help of a “GURU”. I am of course not a guru. I have done only 6 domain buy and sales so far and made little over $230 from all sales. That is more than enough comparing the very little work I have done.
