Build a Profitable Website

Many people think that just having a website, any ol' website, should generate business. Just like there are hundreds of lousy ad campaigns out there, there are hundreds of thousands of lousy websites. A good website, which is a profitable website, has four major considerations that enable it to generate traffic and money: purpose, clarity, demographic and information.

The purpose of your website will dictate the way you present your information. Decide what you are trying to do and build your design and SEO elements to match. Make sure that all your elements work all of the time. What's worse than clicking on a link and having it lead to nowhere? Clarity is also important in building a website. Consider the recent wave of popular websites such as facebook.com and youtube.com. The clear lines, uncluttered pages and clarity of purpose makes these sites user friendly and engaging.

One of the most important aspects to keep in mind when building your website is your demographic. Who is your customer? How much is their annual income? What sex are they? What ethnicity are they? Where are they from? This will help you decide how you will sell yourself or whatever products you are pushing. This will also help you decide where you advertise your website. For example, if you find that locals are visiting your site, you may want to advertise in the local newspaper. Demographics are used to determine design aspects as well. For instance, the main age bracket of your demographic can help you choose between a more fun or a more sophisticated look. Make-My-Website will guide you through these steps and teach you by example.

The last major consideration in building a profitable website is the method by which you will obtain information. Information can be a very valuable way to reach your customers on a personal level through email. Email information will enable you to contact your customers directly with future products and deals. Email also becomes important if you decide to start up a newsletter. If you have a solid traffic base, newsletters can help you make enough money to cover operational costs.

Take a look at your competitor’s websites and decide what you like and don't like. Play around online and figure out which approach you would like to take. After your research is done, your website building experience should be quick and prove profitable.
