Obtain A Web Design Degree And Begin Making A Living Off The World's Biggest Money-Making Machine

By Rocco O. Gonzalez


It's no secret that the internet has turned out to be one of the top ways to market and make money available, and people with a web design degree have ample opportunity to make a living with it. Every large corporation in the world and millions of other small businesses are taking advantage of this incredible marketing phenomenon to increase their own incomes, and they have to hire people like you to help them get started.

There are probably numerous skeptics out there that would just think it is something that is hard to get into or simply hard to make money with, but they probably aren't recognizing how much these multi-billion dollar industries have invested in their web campaigns. When a company wants to get their name out across the net and develop their own web presence, they pay tons of different people some really good money to create a webpage for them, add art and content to it, and even create several other websites that will be used to help optimize their main site.

When it is time for a big company to get their name out there across the world wide web, they not only have to have a website that is presentable and easy to use; they also have to make it easy to find for people who don't know about them. When it is time to make yourself readily available on the web you have to follow specific steps, starting with hiring a team of developers to make a site and ending in the endless process of search engine optimization.

Let's imagine, for a second, that a company manufactures and sells high-quality printer paper, but since they are relatively unknown, they don't get very many customers. They can hire a web development firm to develop a company website for them, complete with a logo, contact information, and plenty of information about the company and the product.

Once the website is complete, anyone who wishes to search for that company and learn more about them can, but if they want to draw the attention of people who are searching for a product similar to theirs, they will need to hire an SEO team. The amount of business that SEO can produce for a company is so extraordinary that some people may call it ridiculous, so it's no wonder why this is such an intensely sought after service. Whether you work as a site developer or in SEO or anywhere else on the web, a web design degree is sure to get you a great job.

How To Create A Website and Online Presence With $0.00!

By

No longer do we have to employ a web designer and pay them $30,000 to design and promote a website for us. Flash looking websites that cost you money every time you want them updated are a thing of the past.
There is a moving trend towards interactive websites that are regularly updated and supply current information. The use of blogging, article sharing and social networking are all inexpensive ways to connect with your target market.
Applications such as Facebook and Twitter have proven people crave current information and like to interact where possible. So it makes sense to provide a website that can easily be updated and has the ability for your potential clients to engage and connect with you.


Set Up Your Website!
WordPress sites are classified as 'Open Source' which means you can use the application for free. Basically, you can go to WordPress.com, register for your own account and create your own website for free.
WordPress offer great bogging sites, that are easily updated by the users by logging in and accessing a dashboard. Using their video tutorials you can go from knowing nothing about blogging to having a website up and running in a few hours.


Themes:
So your website looks professional (as most of us are not Graphic Artists) you can select from a range of different themes. A theme is basically the 'background' and layout of the website.
You can switch themes at any point if you find the one you first selected is not quite right.


The Dashboard:
Once you have loaded your theme, the first thing you need to do is start loading some content. You have the option of creating pages and posts. Pages are great for information that you want to be easily accessed through a navigation toolbar and posts are good for sharing your thoughts in article format!


Do I need to register a domain?
No! You can enter the domain you would like to use into WordPress and if it is not already taken WordPress will use that domain with.WordPress attached to it. For example: yourwebsite.WordPress.com
Of course you can register a domain such as yourwebsite.com with a Domain Hosting company and redirect it to point to your WordPress site so your clients don't see .WordPress in the address. However, this does cost money, about $9.00!!


Now you have a website, tell everyone!
There are heaps of free advertising opportunities on the web. Of course there is Social Networking but there is also lots of Online Directories even some specific to the Fitness Industry.
Most Online Directories have a free listing option. Normally this allows the user to enter their basic details.

  • Business Name
  • Business Category
  • Contact Name
  • Contact Phone and email
  • Business Website
  • Opening Hours
  • Short Description

Registering your business (including your website) with lots of these free directories will only increase the chances of people finding your details and clicking the link to your website.


Some example directories are (there are heaps to choose from):
hotfrog.com
gumtree.com
aussieweb.com.au


Everyone's on Facebook!
When your website is ready, share your latest 'blog posts' with your friends on Facebook. By doing this you are basically saying to your friends, "Hey, check out what I just added to my website!"
Now of course the content on your site needs to be worth reading so when your friends are clicking through they are receiving value for their time!
Setting up a business Facebook Fan Page can be a great way to have registered Fans of your business. As these people have shown interested in your business by 'Liking' your Fan Page they will be happy to receive your updates and hopefully share the information with their friends!!


Other Social Networking Sites!
Twitter and Linked-In are other proven social networking sites. By increasing your following on all social networking you are basically increasing your database that you can 'market' to. Be careful not to abuse it! ALWAYS ADD VALUE!!


The Upgrades!
With nearly all free applications there are upgrades. WordPress has a 'Hosted' option as its upgrade, which basically requires you to have a registered domain and web hosting. Once you have done this then you have more flexibility and options to the design and function of your site.
The Online Directories all have paid upgrades too, which see your ads and listings get promoted and therefore appear higher in the search results.


Free is a great starting point!
Making use of the free applications is a great way of getting your head around the functionality, design and purpose of the application. You can normally upgrade at anytime.
With these 'Open Source' options available there is no excuse to not have an online presence for your business.
Give it a go!
