If you’re a complete newbie or a beginner to running a web business this guide is for you. Even if you have some knowledge of how website work, but not totally sure how all the pieces fit together this article will make things clearer.
Just like an offline business, an online business is make up of many different elements but at the heart are two fundamental areas, the website itself and the marketing of the website.
Everyone knows you need a website to build an online business but it might not be so obvious how important web marketing is.
Marketing a site doesn’t mean having to spend lots on advertising money and it doesn’t mean you need to be a marketing genius. But you will need to dedicate some time for marketing and promotion once you’ve launched you site.

You jobs (past and present), hobbies sports, education, self-help and all good areas to explore when searching for a good idea. Later it will help you with Amazon.
Now you have to build a website for Amazon the next step is to buy two inexpensive things a domain name and web hosting.
Your domain name will be something unique address on the web, like Sears.com, Amazon.com, AaronLeVels.com, for what I’m interested in. The price of a new domain name varies but a .com address shouldn’t cost more than a few dollars a year. I recommend HostGater in my opinions they are the best out there and I have been very happy with registering my domain there. Your own name is best, you’ll find that it may be taken, you may have to use initials our you last name. the name of the niche that you are working on.
Web Hosting
If you think of a domain name as the physical address of a store, you can think of web hosting as the building the store is in. It’s where all of the your website content is stores. There are lot of hosting company out there some good, some bad think as web hosting as the building the store is in.There’s a more detailed look at how to make a good choice in guide for affordable web hosting but I repeat my recreation is HostGator who’ve provided me with the best hosting service I’ve used in my years on the web.

Along with your new domain name and web hosting account you’ll need a bit or software that run your site and takes all the hard work out of formatting and publishing your content.

What is an “APP”
The word “APP” is short for “application”. Application in this case refers to a software application, in other words, an app is software program.
But an app is not just any software program, it’s a special type of software program.
An app typically refers to software used on smartphones or mobile device such as the Android, iphone, BlackBerry or iPad, as in “mobile app” or “iphone app”.
But the phrase “Web app” or “online app” is also used in a business setting as an abbreviation for “Web application” or “online application”, meaning software that you access and use while online, via a browser, instead of software residing on your computer (such as Microsoft Word). For small business purpose, we don’t to get complicated. For most of us, it’s sufficient to think of an app this way: an app is a software program that you use online or on mobile devices.
When setting up website you need a theme
After setting up WordPress you need to install a theme. There are many free themes you can use, or you can purchase a theme for different amounts. One I recommend is (read) Socrates not only is it an outstanding theme, but it has software program that uses online website or online mobile devices. Again software used on a smartphone or mobile device such as the Android, iPhone, Blackberry or iPad.
