If you have read our IM Target Review,IM Target Review Training - Building Your Website From Zero Articles you know IM Target has special made software to help you build a website with some few clicks. But it is also a good training for yourself to experience the process of building a website from scratch, here are some simple five steps to build your site.

First, buy a domain name at about 10 bucks per year from GoDaddy, NameCheap or any domain registrars, but GoDaddy and NameCheap are more widely used. I personally use NameCheap as its WhoisGuard offers excellent privacy protection service at no charge.

The second step is to get a hosting account, which is the place where your domain resides or being hosted. The monthly charge for a hosting account is normally $5 to 9. I recommended HostGator, which is the most popular hosting company with cPanel. The cPanel is the most commonly used web hosting interface with many useful tools readily available. HostGator offers very good customer service 24/7 support with phone, email and live chat. Don't use any hosting company which cannot offer you phone support during the weekend, it can cause you inconvenience because in case you experience server downtime, you won't have any means to know what has happened immediately if their service is closed due to out of office hour.

The third thing you need to do is to transfer DNS to your web hosting company. Just login your domain registrar website and key in DNS server name of your hosting company.

The forth step is to build a website. The easiest way to build a website is to install Wordpress, the most popular blogging platform. You can simply login cPanel of your hosting account and click on Fantastico De Luxe under Software/Services section. You will find Wordpress on the left navigation bar if the interface still has not changed, click on it. Follow the instructions to install WordPress. If you are unsure how to do it, you can type how to install Wordpress in HostGator website, you will find video tutorials to show you how to do it properly.

You have your new site built now. Next, there are some settings to be adjusted in Wordpress. By taking the training course of IM Target which contains a software to do it for you, you can shorten the path of building the site and make your life much easier, or else you can read on and do the following steps for set up.

The fifth thing is to adjust the settings of Wordpress. Change layouts, add pages and side bars. Fill in your site name, description and keywords. Play around the widgets, remove those you don't like. Choose a theme that match your niche, don't forget to add some plugins, which are essential for your SEO. I suggest you to add All in One SEO plugin. Configure your permalinks.

Do submission of your site map to Google and sign up for webmaster tools, this is very useful to build your site from zero.

Check out IM Target to automate the site creation process with some clicks.

The final thing you need to do is to write your first article and post it to your site. Each article should be 500 words to 600 words. I suggest you to write another two articles.

After you have done all the steps above, you are ready to promote your site. If you want to have some good training on how to promote your site more effectively, check out IM Target or read my IM Target Review.
