1. Think of a UNIQUE idea – something that has great added value to the USER

2. Find a good relevant script that can accommodate your needs in the most optimal way – something you don’t have to invest too much time/money in customizing and that will give you enough leeway to beta test your site.

3. decide if you want to create a keyword based domain or make up a name (ex: google, yahoo, bing, meshable, ping, VS Myspace, facebook, wildtangent, fox etc,)

4. Set up your website and add initial content to make it look somewhat alive – this can be done by you, your friends, content writers, importing RSS feeds etc’.

5. Add creative’s on your site- start selling your traffic! In today’s world users are so used to seeing banners (and disregard them) that if they DO NOT see any advertising on your site (unless you are operating craigslist or something similar) it feels to them that you are not successful.

6. Start building links – article writing, directory submissions, blog commenting, forum posting, build a facebook page, create a twitter profile, create a myspace page and any additional social media platforms you can think of.

7. Optimize your site with great additional features and widgets

8. Buy traffic to your site while continuing to add new fresh content

9. Consider new traffic source, advertising channels, and marketing opportunities (JV, Affiliate, Etc’.)

10. Optimize your site and prepare the Release candidate of the site

There are many answers but im going to talk about 3: free SEO, fast indexing & free publicity.

Free SEO – as we now know , Search engines like Google build relevance marks according to the incoming links, they analyize a few parameters: the site the incoming link is coming out of, the quality of the page, the quality of the link (anchor text, depth of the link, keyword relevancy to the page the link is coming out of and to the landing page) etc’.

What the search engines also calculate is the amount of the total number of links each site ha and the quality of the links and then give it a Page Rank (at least Google does…). What social bookmarking does is give site owners the opportunity to grow fast really easily.

For instance if you have good content and people “digg” it then they would post a link to you from digg, the same as for delicious , reddit and now from twitter too. These incredibly huge sites get crawled by search engines constantly which means that good sites that get talked about a lot on these 4 mega social sites get crawled and thus indexed on a more frequent basis.

If that’s all true (and it is) what this basically means is that you – the site owner, are getting free advertising from really simple publicity. If you just start bookmarking your site on these social sites and ask a couple of your friends to comment them / or book mark them as well than you would see an on going snow ball affect with your sites advertising, and all of that is for free.

Now the only hard part left is getting people to like your site and recommend it…

In this post i will name 5 main reasons why you are encouraged to advertise on the web:

1. Direct marketing- you can use the Internet to market directly to customers who are searching for your services by adding key words and addressing exact shoppers.

2. Affiliate marketing- using the Internet you can maximize the reach by letting others work for you as affiliates. They will promote your business/ products for a commission base that you set up!

3. Local results in a global village. Google, Yahoo and MSN offer you a local directory with business. the local directory comes up whenever you search for a product or service in a specific area. thus when a customer is looking for your type of service in your area you can be seen. the vast majority of online consumer search is conducted via these channels.

4. Unlimited reach- the Internet has no borders, anyone and everyone can potentially see your website!

5. Anyone can do it- and so can you! there is no limit to who can become an online business. if you build it they will come!

one last bonus reason just for you:

6. Unlimited flexibility- the Internet is your best source for sales, updates etc’. every change you make can be instantly seen worldwide, you no longer have to get pissed off if your publisher messed up your phone number or address or name, a simple phone call to your webmaster will make it right in moments!

The main benefits of using them is cost. Most if not all of the open source scripts are free. The idea behind an open source script is to let others use your script for free and allowing developers to create new features, plugins , templates etc’ for your script. This environment allows scripts to progress rapidly and efficiently. Usually, every time a developer comes up with a new idea and makes it into an update he lets everyone enjoy it. And thus if you come up with some brilliant idea you can let others use it and gain respect within that community. There are many developers that begin their career this way and work their way up into lead developer positions.

What this means for us is that every time we come up with a feature we want to add to our site it’s already most likely been thought of, and with the right research skills we can find anything we desire very quickly and install it very easily.

Additionally because many people from all over he world are using , testing , developing and releasing new updates for the scripts on a daily basis you can rest assured that you are working with the most advanced technologies. That you will always be updated on new features and that basically you are investing your time in the right direction.
