Simply visit your favourite web-building website. A favourite of mine is Jessett.com - a step-by-step guide to creating a web site - http://www.jessett.com

If you have no knowledge of HTML and no intention of learning then I can highly recommend Dr Ken Evoy's Site Build It!. This clever suite of programs not only builds your website for you, it even promotes your site too (and a lot, lot more!) - http://buildit.sitesell.com/shopping101.html

=> Promote Web Site, Paying Particular Attention To Google

Follow basic website promotion steps, adding your chosen keywords to your copy and various meta tags. And concentrate getting your site listed on Google search engine - *the* best search engine, and provider of Web Pages results for Yahoo! - http://www.google.com/addurl.htm - http://www.howipromotemywebsite.com/bin/ap.pl?keywords

And that really is it!

By way, when I say medium-term strategy, I have one site - http://www.HurryForHarry.co.uk - that already ranks well on Google for keywords 'harry potter games' after a month or so, and another site, http://www.TextMeFree.com, that gets over 7000 page views per day after only 6 months in existence (no money spent on advertising!).

To get you started with this website promotion strategy, here are a few great search terms that are popular right now, but have little competition: 'guitar sheet music', 'free screensavers', 'digital cameras', 'birthday poems',...

Good luck.

Simply create a website based on high-demand but low-supply keywords. Make sure you design a search-engine-friendly website, and promote your site to major search engines (particularly Google). And in no time at all, you will have visitors, visitors, visitors at your website.

(5) Use proper grammar and spelling. Publishers will not take time to edit your article. Make sure you read your article several times and use spellcheck.

(6) Avoid articles that are nothing more than a sales letter. Publishers want quality content and will simply delete an article that is written like a sales letter.

(7) Avoid referring readers to an affiliate URL. Articles containing affiliate links may make your article appear to be biased and untrustworthy.

(8) Write your articles with a sincere desire to teach and inform. Talk to your readers and share your expertise.

Once you've written your article, you'll need to develop a list of publishers that may be interested in publishing it. The best way to accomplish this is to display your articles on your website. Place a subscription box on each of your article pages to enable your visitors to subscribe. This list should be used to announce your new articles.

In addition, you can visit some ezine sites to locate publishers who may be interested in your articles. A good place to start is eZINESearch. http://www.ezinesearch.com

Another great way to promote your articles is to submit them to article announcement groups. These groups enable writers to submit their articles to an entire group of publishers, completely free.
