Actual for You - The Cost Of A Web Site
“Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.” Albert Schweitzer1.You set the standard: Work as hard, or harder, than your employees. Be a role model when managing people. Strive to know more than your best employee (or best sales rep) about your product line, industry, and their jobs. This doesn’t mean you have to know everything. Still, educate yourself. I frequently hear in my seminars, “My boss has no idea what I really do
How Much Should You Pay A Content Developer
This depends so heavily on the type of content your site requires that it's almost impossible to answer. Freelance writer and editor rates range from a low of $25 an hour up to $250 an hour, or more. Most are in the $50 to $100 per hour range. Shop around.
As an editorial professional, I'm assuming that you will provide your own content. However if you have neither the time, desire, or skill, you will
Perhaps you have not considered the wealth of information that is available on your competitors. Public companies are required by law to give away all their financial information and most all of this is available on the Internet for free. This information is there for investors to know exactly what the company is doing so they can make a good informed decision of whether or not to buy their stock.Unfortunately for these companies that information in the h
Your goal should be to get an online presence. Remember, most surfers are looking for information. Dancing cartoons, streaming video and other interactive features are, in the great majority of cases, unnecessary.
Naming Your Site: Selecting and Registering a Domain Name
The first step in getting a web site is to select and register your domain name. Even if you can't afford a web site right now, it is a good idea to register your name. This can be done for under $10.00 a year (eg, namecheap.com).
Choosing a Web Designer / Web Design Company
Choosing a web designer will depend greatly onthe type of site you are having built. Prices are all over the place. Many designers/firms have a dollar minimum that you must spend in order to work with them.
Ball park figure: If you are having a simple informational site built, I suggest spending no more than $500. Learn how to update it yourself to save ongoing maintenance charges.
An even cheaper option is to do it yourself. There is plenty of easy-to-learn software (eg, FrontPage) that make it easy to build a site. Also, many companies (Yahoo, Microsoft BCentral, AOL, etc.) have templates that make it simple to drag and drop text and create a site. Rates begin at around $19.95/month.
Web Hosting Costs
Fees range from free to hundreds of dollars per month. As a guideline, the average cost for hosting a personal web site is $10-$25/month. Business sites with higher traffic are in the $45-$75/month range.
There are excellent deals to be found on web hosting (eg, peoplehost.com), so shop around. Usually, if you prepay for a year or more, you will be given a discount. I recommend this because once you get a site, it is highly unlikely that you will ever discontinue it, unless you change careers altogether.
About Free Web Hosting Companies
I do not advise the use of free web hosting companies. This is your professional online presence and you get what you pay for. More often than not, free host companies have limitations such as space, email specifications, domain name use, et cetera, that won't allow you to operate as a professional site.

So many people struggle to come up with niche areas to work in online, and find two things occur. 1) Niche areas that have a lot of traffic and that make a lot of money already have a lot of competition. 2) Niche areas that are not as profitable are more available, but do not offer the same income opportunity.I believe, on the other hand, that you can make money in any niche. You see, if a niche market falls into the first category, then you can make

Getting nervous before or during an interview is natural but there are things you can do to combat it.First off, practice makes perfect! The more you interview, the more confident you'll be.Do company research well in advance so that you can relax before the interview rather than scrambling to get ready at the last minute.When it comes to answering interview questions, avoid trying to memorize scripted answers that you might have read somewhe

Why is your online sales copy--your 24/7 salesman—not doing his job? Does this scenario sound familiar? You have been working hard to build traffic. Finally, you have watched your visitor rate climb higher than it's ever been. Congratulations! You are excited about the traffic. You know more traffic potentially means more sales, right.

As an editorial professional, I'm assuming that you will provide your own content. However if you have neither the time, desire, or skill, you will definitely want to spend the money for a professional.
Finally Tally
If you choose to go with a web designer and are simply having a 2-3 page informational site built, pay no more than $500. This is assuming that you write your own content and do not have custom work done, such as logo/graphic design.
Cheapest Option: Do it yourself. A template site, or buying a software (eg, FrontPage) and doing it yourself, with hosting fees should top out at about $300/year.
The beauty of buying software and doing it yourself is that after you purchase the software, you only have to incur the hosting and domain name fees on a yearly basis. These can be under $50/year — making your site really economical as time passes.
