Your website checklist:
- Register Your Domain Name! I use and recommend GoDaddy.com.
- Buy a Hosting account with your domain name. At GoDaddy.com this is easy and inexpensive. Be sure to buy hosting where you have a Database (MySQL or similar), you’ll need this to install WordPress.
- If you use GoDaddy.com you can have WordPress installed onto your domain for free and fast! Be sure to follow the instructions and write all information down!
- Once you login to WordPress check out various designs or “Themes” under “Appearance” and “Themes”. Pick out one that you like. There are hundreds and they are FREE!
- Go to pages to create your pages. Your front page should tell about the product(s) you are selling. Tell a story! Tell as much as possible to peak the interest of the surfer / potential customer.
- Create a page where the product can be ordered. Use graphics, texts, video, audio, … whatever works!
- Create an “About” page – Tell everyone about YOU and what you do!
- Create a “Contact” page – tell people how to get in touch with you for questions, suggestions, etc.
- Create an “Terms of Service” page and an “Imprint” page. Check out other website to get an idea of what belongs there. Ultimately, you’ll need to get some legal advice on what belongs in both pages.
- Go to the “Plugins” page and search for “PayPal” or “eCommerce”. You should be able to see a whole long list of free plugins that you can use to set up shop. Personally, I like “WP Shopping Cart” from Instinct. It’s easy and fast.
Now you’re pretty set and ready to go!
In the next episode we’ll deal with promoting your website effectively and again – FOR FREE!
If you teach, or there is a subject that you know a good deal about, you can use it for your first product for sale. In this episode I’ll also discuss naming your product or products and easy ways to sell even if you don’t have a website.

Here’s a short introduction to creating your email course in order to build your list. And if you remember, building your list is the most important duty for you to create your passive income.
Summary:
- Decide on how your are going to publicize your email course. Whether on your website only, or on Music Forums (better to use both)
- Signup for a Twitter account, MySpace, Facebook, Tumblr and other social marketing websites.
- Signup for an Autoresponder such as, GetResponse.com or aWeber.com.
- Plan out you 5 part email course. Talk to your audience (subscribers) as though they are your friends. Let them also know what’s coming up in the next part of your course in every email.
- After your subscribers have gone through the course, download and/or copy the email addresses and enter them into your email program or better yet, transfer them to a FanBridge account in order to keep contact with them.
Now go create your email course and collect those email addresses!
