On the last couple of sections I have hopefully made you realise that starting an Internet based business is a good way to work from home these days - certainly if you want to be self employed and enjoy all the time freedom, tax breaks and job satisfaction this root brings.
So, assuming you now know what it is you'd like to build a home business webpage/site around, what is it you actually need. First and foremost, you'll need some software to build a website with. Do a search at your favorite search engine for "free wysiwyg web page editor". Don't panic about the jargon "wysiwyg", it's just an acronym for "what you see is what you get". It means the web page editor software you build your website with is user friendly. By using it you won't have to worry about learning html code (html is the language browsers such as Internet Explorer read). By using a wysiwyg editor your webpage building is as easy to do as using as a word processor. My advice is start getting used to one by playing around with it.
Next we need somewhere to put our website (a web host) so that it is accessible to the world through the Internet. Again we can do all this for free. Do another search at your favorite search engine for "free web space" and you'll see a huge choice. Pick one that you like the look of but make sure the supplier doesn't feed ads through your website either as pop-ups, or actual ads somewhere on each of your web pages. You might like to change your search phrase to "free web space no ads".
One last piece of free downloadable software you'll need is something to upload your web pages from your computer to your web hosts server. Again, don't be scared by the jargon, but what you need is "FTP". This is an acronym for "File Transfer Protocol", and it's very simple to use. All it does is downloads and upload files. That's it. All website hosting services will be compatible with standard ftp software. Do another search, this time for "free ftp". This should give you a wide choice of free ftp clients to work with.
When you apply for your web hosting account you will have been given some technical information for setting up your ftp. Usually it's just a couple of bits of information that your ftp will also ask you for when you're setting it up to start uploading. Once set up all you have to do is a couple of clicks and your new web pages and/or any changes you make to your web site will be uploaded and online.
That's it. You're now ready to create a website and upload it to the Internet. This is where you start creating. Next I'll help you with this and show you how to get going in the right direction.
