How To Design A Web Page That Pays
It is relatively easy
to design
a web page.
It is much
more difficult
to design
a web page that works, and more
importantly a web
page that pays
off for either
you or the web
visitor. But if
you want to create web
sites or have
a home
based business that you can promote online,
building a web page that pays is an
absolute necessity.
So, how
do you design a web page that pays? First off, you need to determine who
will be getting the pay-off. It could be you or the web visitor, or better yet, it could be both
of you. For
example, an
informational web page
will be valuable to a
reader looking for information and valuable to you if you have affiliates, links to products, or other sites you
want to promote.
When building a web page or looking for a home based business, affiliate programs are
worth considering because they add value to the
site for the reader and can provide enough revenue for you to keep the site going. The best affiliates offer products that are in some way
related to your site. In other words, if you have an informational web site relating to pet health, it wouldn't be a
good idea to have affiliate links for tax software. You will be much better served with affiliates that sell pet
vitamins, pet toys, or other pet related products.
If you
want to create web sites or design a web page so that you can make money from affiliate
programs, it is a good idea to research affiliates and the topic before you proceed.
Making sure that affiliate programs
exist in conjunction with the information you want to provide or the home based business you want to promote will prove to be very valuable later on as you try to get the site off the ground.
You will
also want to make sure that you will be able to provide credible information to the site's visitors. For example, you will have a hard time building a web page devoted to coaching soccer if you know little about the subject. And
without credibility, you stand little chance of getting site visitors to stop by once, let alone, again and again.
Credibility will also prove to be important when you look for affiliates. Often times, your site will need to be reviewed before you are allowed to participate in the affiliate program. If you design a web page that is not up to par, you will have little chance of being approved.
In short, take your time and do your homework.
That is the only way to create web sites that truly pay off for you and your visitors.
