Before you even make a webpage you need to find out what your web market will be. This requires you are required to perform deep keyword research. Even if you think you know all about the market, the problem many of home business owners make is to assume their Internet market or niche is filled with hungry prospects with tons of money.

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

Once you know you online niche that will allow your future web site to earn revenue, you can begin discovering products and services that cater to that niche market.

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 marketers.

Establish the profitability of every affiliate product first. Do that by finding the search engine results and follow the ads on the right side (adwords) for many days or weeks. It is tedious but critical to your success.

Make a outline of your web site. The critical point here is make sure you add lots of quality content that the search engines will adore.

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. There are so many outstanding features and benefits that I could fill up many pages but check it out for yourself. http://www.at-home-business-opportunity.com/xsitepro.html

Check out your competition. Investigate how they are pre-selling identical products or services. This is also known as back engineering the competition. Add targeted 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 finding quality content and your web site will jump in page ranking and the search engines will adore your web site.
