Establishing Your Own Online Presence

Whether you start from scratch, promote your affiliate programs, or market yourself as an independent representative of a direct sales company, starting a website is the center of your online presence.  Some affiliate programs and most direct sales companies will provide you with a replicated website. Everyone who is marketing the product will have a website that looks the same and in most cases cannot be modified except by the company.

While these websites are usually good sales tools, they are not suited to marketing your goods and services. They do nothing to promote what is unique about you and cannot be optimized for good search engine placement.

Before moving on to establishing your own website, some of the common terms should be defined:

Domain - A domain is a web page address. It is what you enter into your browser to find a particular web site. This web page's domain is internetbasedmoms.com URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. This is a way of specifying the location of publicly available information on the Internet. For example, this site's URL is http://www.internetbasedmoms.com

Web Host - the company that stores the files for others' web sites.

Server - a computer program that provides services to another computer program. There are many different kinds of servers. For example, file server, web server, etc.
