Good Day mylotters. I am planning to create my own website and earn from it. I have chosen to create a forum site. How do i start making one and can you give exact details on how to make one? I know i have to pay for a domain. I am very much willing to buy my own domain. Where can i buy it? Yes i know i can just search it online but what should I consider when it comes to buying domains? Most probably these sites have different offers. What are the criteria that i must consider before buying one. Also, I am going to use a message board. I know that i would need a forum software. I am planning to get one for free but i have read that they put ads on your site. I think its okay but I am also planning to put ads on it to earn extra cash. Would it be possible for me to post ads even if they provided their own ads to my site? Can you give me the best forum freeware you know? and how does it work? I would greatly appreciate your response. Thank you!

I don't have much knowledge about computers and internet, but I can answer your question in a layman's term. You can a create a website that has an interactive tool for online "ready-to-answer-question" like in call center. Of course you have to buy domains but first planned what's your purpose in creating that website. Then, what will be the lay-out, etc..etc..First and foremost, planning: plan every facets of the business. Then, make a list of question regarding the business, that you will answer it truthfully. Collect some info from outside about the internet business. Again, review it if there's something that you can add with your list. Then, select the best options that you can get, and plan again for another phase. But before planning, make sure that you cash on hand to augment with what you are planning. If not, borrow money from your family members or in the bank as loan. Also, try to contact any webmaster, to design your website through your studied agenda. I think this just a "tip of an iceberg" what you will do to have a good website for business. Besides, to be successful on your endeavor you must be ready at all times. There's always to fall back in, when worst comes to worst. Good luck for your creative concept and maybe, just maybe this can help you.
