First of all if you are not capturing the names and email addresses of everyone who comes to your website and following up with an autoresponder system stop everything you are doing and sign up right here for an Aweber autoresponder account.

The money is in the list. If you are not building a list of subscribers who are interested in your products and services that you can market to over and over you are wasting your advertising dollars. This is the number 1 most important tool you need for marketing on the internet period.

So which is the best autoresponder service? In my opinion it is Aweber. I was a 4 year customer of one of their main competitors when recently I switched my sign up forms for new subscribers to Aweber. I was stunned. For the same traffic I doubled my subscriber rate! I got twice as many confirmed opt in subscribers with Aweber than I did with their main competitor! I went from about 80 confirmed opt in subscribers per day to 180!!!! This means with the other service that I had for 4 years I had been losing about 100 subscribers per day. Considering that each subscriber is worth about Ten Rand that comes to about R 3000.00 per month loss by choosing the wrong autoresponder service!!

Why did the former service perform so poorly? Email deliverability. This service got themselves on some blacklists and the confirmation emails people get to confirm their subscriptions were going directly to the trash. Wasted advertising Rands, wasted time!

With Aweber ALL of my confirmation emails were getting directly to the inbox and therefore more people confirmed and joined my newsletters.

Aweber just has it together. They deliver big time. If you have another autoresponder service I would switch. I you do not then sign up below for Aweber’s free test drive and get educated directly from Aweber about how valuable autoresponder can be to your business. Do it right the first time and you could save thousands of dollars! Don’t make my mistake and choose the wrong autoresponder company.

(If you need help with any of the Steps below i.e.registering a free Domain Name or Hosting, please contact me)

Firstly you need a good domain name. Try to get a domain name that is catchy and that will hook attention. Make sure it isn’t boring. Check here to see if your Domain Name is still available.Try to put the benefit and a main keyword in. Sometimes the domain might not be available, but if it is really good, consider purchasing it.I recommend you use GoDaddy to purchase your domain as they are the largest domain registrar. But if you don’t want to spend a dime on the domain I suggest you use .co.cc domains which are free.

Secondly you will need a hosting service to host your domain. You need a reliable service to avoid wasting time. I highly recommend HostGator here. Though if you need a cheap Host use MyStoreHosting which offer decent free web-hosting.

Now you need to connect the two, the domain, and the hosting server. This is done by using the domain to point to the hosting server through the use of a nameserver. If you listened to me and bought both a Domain at GoDaddy and the Hosting at HostGator, then simply login in to GoDaddy. Go to your domain and click on it, then click on the nameserver icon, then change the nameservers to the ones HostGator emailed you. They usually are something like this:

NS1.HostGator.com

NS2.HostGator.com

The procedure is almost the same for .co.cc domains. The activation will usually take up to 48 hours (in rare cases up to 72 hours)

You are now ready to upload and install your blog. Using HostGator this is real simple. Go to yourdomain.com/cpanel and log in. At the bottom of the page, click on Fantastico. Now on the left hand side there is a link to WordPress (Open Sources Blogging Software). Click on it and select new installation. Fill in the form and install wordpress.

This is it! Your blog is now up and running. All you need to do now is to start posting. Go to yourdomain.com/wp-login.php. On the left side you will see posts. Click on add new under it.

If you want to attract traffic to your site I suggest you get a premium theme, you won’t regret it. The two big names in this area are woothemes and elegant themes

Next thing you need to do is to make sure the world knows about your blog.
