2. Creating Your Website
First, start by purchasing a domain; I recommend Godaddy(choose a domain name relevant to your niche and remember that .info is much cheaper than.com) and set it up with a hosting company; I would recommend Hostgator (Click here for many Hostgator discount codes). Choose the "baby" plan for Hostgator as it hosts unlimited domains or choose "hatchling" if you want to stick with just one domain(I recommend baby as creating more websites really helps expand your business and increase profits). Make sure to change your nameservers so Godaddy knows your website is hosted by Hostgator (Click here for how to change your nameservers). your two nameservers will be provided by Hostgator once you've made your payment. After you've set up your nameservers, wait a few hours for your website to recognize Hostgator (you will know this when you enter your Url and Hostgator's panel appears). To sign into your website type "(your domain).com/cpanel". (you are provided with lots of passwords in the process of making a website so make sure to store them).
Now you have to create 3 pages on your site, the squeeze page (which will be the page visitors see when they visit your website, typically promoting your product), the confirmation page (the page in which you ask your subscribers to confirm their email and thank them for signing up), and the download page(Here is where they download your product which I recommend to be a free offer). First, begin to customize your pages; id recommend installing WordPress on your site as it offers many customization templates(Click here for how to install wordpress). I would also mention some exceptional, but paid services, to customize your squeeze pages are Lead Pages and Optimize Press. One thing you can do to begin designing your site is to use Fiverr, a website where people will do just about anything for only 5$; you can search people to create banners for your site or just design them yourself if you have the knowledge.
