Take a look at this hosting company and see if it would meet your needs. If not, do a Google search for "hosting", and you will be sure to find a good one that is in your budget.

OK, now you're on your way. You have your website, your Domain Name, and your hosting package. The next thing you have to do is find content for your site.

For you to get noticed by the Search Engines, your site must be "content rich", which means that you need to have a lot of valuable information for your visitors to read and see. Say you're still in the "doggie treat" Business. Articles with information on dogs are a must. Find all the information you can on dogs, dog food, dog toys etc. You can even go to other websites that offer dog products, and look at the kind of information they have, and how their website is laid out. This will give you an idea of the type of information you need to make your site successful.

You can do a poll in the "dog lovers" forums, asking dog owners what kinds of treats their dogs like. Then add the results to your website.

Be creative. The more creative you are, the more likely you are to get more visitors. Offer something that no other "dog" website offers.

Remember, the key to traffic is INFORMATION.

Another way to get traffic is to trade links with other sites like your own. There are many "linking programs" out there, but the two I use are www.linkmetro.com and www.linkmarket.com All you have to do is to sign up and enter some keywords about your website, and you'll begin getting offers from others website owners that would like to link to your site. It's that easy.

Now you know what you need to do next. Just don't forget about the person that got you started. Your Guru. They are there to help you in every step of the process of building your online business. Keep asking them for their advice. You are not only building an online Business, your building a relationship too.
