Hello, David!

We react to your question with the assumptions that your purpose is to promote your SFI Affiliation Business.

It may sound self defeating to approach such an undertaking with the goals you outlined: least expensive easiest way to build a website. If your aim is to get great results in promoting your business and making good money out of it, you may want to give to such a project your full attention and adequate resources to reach your goals.

You have only three options:

1. Build it yourself from scratch, start to finish.

2. Use a free or low cost package; or,

3. Hire a professional website designer.

If you are asking this question, one can safely assume that you are not proficient in website design. Learning HTML may be rewarding in the long term, but it may not be the answer you are looking for especially if you have in mind to get quick results.

Using web design packages is constraining in the sense that your flexibility is relatively limited.

Then, using the services of a professional may be the best option, for getting faster results. There are several Tripleclicks ECAs who offer those services. Some of them price their services very competitively.

The validity of hiring one of them will depend on the specifics you have in mind.

Your purpose, your goals, your content, which is mostly SFI content and the level of sophistication of your website, which may even dictate the programming language that will be used.

You will also have to look for a web host and choose a domain name.
It may not be very much useful to delve on the technical details to take into consideration. The professional you will be choosing will take the time to go through them with you.

Before we decide which one is the best and least expensive way , we should first arrive at what we mean by the best way and least expensive way.

Best way- In my opinion is find out the personal websites of Sfi leaders - specifically Top Sponsors. Check the format, structure they have followed for their website.

The reason is we should follow the Best in SFI . They are all PTL.

The least expensive way is to have your own Website( blog) on wordpress. There are lot of tutorials available on internet. It is possible to build a free blog. There are other free options just like wordpress. It is worth to try them too.

Follow the same or similar structure that the PTL has followed. You may personalize some pages as per your choice

Once you are able to advertise your personal website I am sure you will have many visitors.

Having your own website or blog can be very rewarding when it comes to building your own team or offering them help.

You can easily build and publish a website online with no costs. Website builders such as webs, weebly, wix and others offer free hosting and domain names. Their builders are easy to understand and work with, even if you don't have any HTML knowledge. They also offer upgrades to your free accounts.

In my oppinion it's best to have your own domain name, it makes your website look more professional. You can still have hosting for free and only pay for a domain name - $5 per month.

I'm building my website at Wix, and I have to say they really think about every thing. Their website builder is easy to use and they have a great deal of templates available for free. They also offer a shop page where you can sell your products through PayPal.

I hope this answers your question.

Why would you spend money having a personal SFI Website while you can actually have one for free? There are many web hosting sites that provide a free space for anyone who wants one. You can start with blogger.com or wordpress.com that would allow you to have a blogsite for SFI for free and upgrade your site later if you want to place ads other than SFI and TripleClicks banners. You would earn income from accepting ads when you upgrade your blogsite and at the same time would still would able to host your gateways that further lessen the cost of upgrading a blogsite to an owned personal SFI Website.

With Google plus, you can make a brand name in favor of SFI where you can post your gateways, ensure that your postings would not have any expiration date and free.

Having an account with social media network sites is free. You can create pages to host SFI in Facebook.

Good question you asked but with a bit of ambiguity. This is because the best website may not necessarily be the least expensive while the least expensive website may not be the best. For that reason, I tend to think that you may have to settle for any one of these two advantages because they rarely go together.

If you do not want to spend any money at all to build a personal website, you can get for free at many web hosting sites which provide a free space for anyone who wants one. You do not need to build anything. You just register in, follow the prompts and you are on in less than 5 minutes. These sites have well designed web pages which you can choose from depending on your taste. Two of such sites which readily come to mind here are blog sites like blogger.com and wordpress.com where you can host your personal SFI website for free. When given free, the sites will allow you only limited use of your own site but if you pay some token fee to upgrade, you can freely use your own site for your own adverts (SFI and TripleClicks Gateways) as well as other adverts including banners from other sites.

For as low as $5, you can register and host your Personal Domain Name with Goddady. Similar service is also available from many other Web Hosts. With a valid registration, you will be provided your own webpage and its accessories for you to use to promote your SFI business as you deem fit. With an annual hosting fee which is also very low, you can use such a site for a whole year before it will be due for renewal.

Having dealt with the “least expensive” part of your question let me now turn my attention to the “best” site. How good your site is depends on what your goals are in SFI and this varies from affiliate to affiliate. From my own experience, the best site to own is the one which enables you to meet your set goals in SFI. That is why you need a personal website which ranks well in Search Engines, allows visitors seamless contacts and interactions with you, allows you to visibly advertise your SFI and TripleClicks Gateways/banners as well as enabling you to easily convert many of your site visitors to PSAs. That is about the best SFI personal website you can have. Any personal website which allows you to do all these and more is the best site to have even if it may not necessarily be the least expensive.

I do hope this answers your question. Best wishes.

Did you want the best or the least expensive?

The easiest way to make a website for your SFI business that will rank on search engines and grow virally is with the Wordpress Blogging Platform. It has tools, features, and optional plugins that make it the most used CMS or Content Management Solution on the web today.

Regardless of Wordpress or other self hosted scrip and domain name you need quality hosting that provides little if any downtime. The absolute worst things that you can do is use a free blog or free website like WIX or Blogger and expect major success. You need a domain name which will cost you $10.50 a year and hosting that will run anywhere from $10 a month to $30 a month depending on the features.

Best news is a professional website or blog can quickly pay for itself by increasing your traffic especially repeat visitors and increase your conversion.

Again I highly advise you read up on webhost reviews, and try to spot the ones written by biased affiliates and find a quality hosting company because downtime and slow loading pages are killer and most cheap webhost offer both no matter what they promise on the sales page.

A very good question! Since joining SFI, I have been asking myself that questions until the other day I was fooling around online and I think I have found a website that helps. It is the wordpress website. It has a lot of templates you can choose from.

Youtube, is a most go to website to get ideas and information on how to build a website. There are tutorials you can listen to and determine which is easier for you to learn and follow. Most of these tutorials give step by step instructions along with other vital information such as:

Websites that offer an affordable package for domain name and webhosting

It’s all there! Youtube is like your free online classroom. Check it out!

I hope the above information will help.

Hi David,

Creating a website is a lot easier than you think, especially since there are a lot of guides that can give you step by step approach on how to build and design a website. People can also build their website from scratch nowadays since there are a lot of programs, online site builders, and content management systems than can help you with the workload that comes with creating a website.

Before the Internet became completely mainstream, there weren’t that many websites to browse on. Most websites were meant for large corporations or famous public figures. This is because buying a domain name was very expensive in the past, not to mention the costs of having a company host your website. Today, nearly everyone has their own website.

Why?

Because the costs associated with making a website came down considerable. The complexity of creating your own website has been reduced considerably as well. People can even make a free website today, something that was unthinkable in the past. WordPress, for example, is a free script you can load in your web hosting account in less than 10 minutes to create your own site

Before you get started, the first thing that you have to do is to get yourself a domain name. Basically a domain name is the name or address that you give to your website. In order to get a domain of your own, you have to search and find an available one, and then buy the right to use it from a domain name registration website. All you have to do is pay the domain name registration websites a yearly fee, and the domain name is yours to use as your online website address for your site.

Now for the most fun, and yet most technical and work-loaded part of creating a website: the designing and the adding of content to your website. For this part, you can hire a team of website designers to do all the work for you, but this can be a bit pricey, and you won’t be able to have total control on what should be the design or output of your website. If you choose to design your website on your own, you can do so using a web editor program or online site builder. Web editor programs or online site builders can be bought, but there are some that are for free.

Good luck creating your own website. You can do it, promise. Get started today.

Least expensive? Would zero cost do?:-) There are lots of domains offering free hosting and quite decent service. I use one of these, it allows 5 pages, HTML and link insertion in very easy-to-handle way, using images and many other things. If you are more professional, you may even edit the source code directly. Plus you have Guest Book and Contact Form. Good enough?:-)

As far as content is concerned, I would advise you to focus on SFI, but still give your audience wide choice, or at least an illusion of that.

E.g. I do it in the following way:

The site is not about SFI, but you get the impression it is on the top. No sites competing - I mean mostly other affiliate progs - are offered. But I offer variety of promotion tools I use myself - PTC-s, Traffic Exchanges, Mailers, some other facilities.

The result is the reader may feel like in a store and the question is not whether to sign-up, but where to sign-up. As SFI stands in the focus, it is most probable target, but if your visitor joins under you somewhere else, I think you won't object too.

Draw your visitors' attention that you always update your offers. The simplest way is to use one of your pages as kind of blog with recent news.

Hope that helps.

I personally have an account with Blogger. You can write your own content, add your banners, pictures. You can even monetize it if you like. And best of all, It's free to do. You have your own website without any fees at all.

My blogger page also allows me to share my info on Facebook easier also. I can just post my blog page, with all my gateways and banners and information about SFI, straight to my facebook friends and groups. So I hope this helps. Thank you.
