Before you even create a web site you must be informed what your niche market will be. This means you are required to undertake some keyword research. Even if you think you know all about the niche market, the mistake most of web marketers make is to pre-assume their net market or niche is saturated with avid buyers with loads of dough.

If your niche is popular in keyword searches but hardly anyone is spending cash then your actions will be wasted.

Once you know you online market that will allow your future web site to earn income, you can begin researching products and services that fill the need to that niche.

Simply do a search on any search engine or go to an affiliate network, e.g., clickbank.com, cj.com, modernclick.com, azoogle.com. These networks pay based on either per lead, per action or per sale.

Conduct a profitability research. Don't throw just any product or service on your web site. This is a big mistake made by too many home based business owners.

Establish the profitability of all affiliate product first. Do that by finding the search engine results and follow the ads on the right of screen (adwords) for many days or weeks. This procedure is monotonous but is critical to your success.

Make a blueprint of your web site. The important point here is make sure you add lots of quality content that the search engines will eat up.

Lay out your skeleton structure of your web site. This will be the navigation and content layout.

One of the best tools for creating a new web site is XSitePro. I've used Frontpage for years and this tool is way ahead in the learning curve department. The tutorials, video and text, are second to none.

Check out your competition. Review how they are pre-selling the same products or services. This is also known as back engineering the competition. Expand web traffic to your online home based business:

1. Social networking 2. Blogs 3. Pay per click advertising 4. Forum signatures 5. List building 6. Article submission etc. etc.

Keep adding quality content and your web site will jump in page ranking and the search engines will eat up your web site.
