1) Web Hosting

Web hosting is a service that allows organizations and individuals to post a website or web page onto the Internet. A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website or webpage to be viewed on the Internet. Websites are hosted or stored, on special computers called servers.

You need to own your domain in order to host with web hosting services. If you do not have a domain, the hosting companies will help you purchase one. In the following, we talk more about domains.

Uptime and load time are two of the most important factors when choosing a web host; of course, the cost is the other important factor which must be taken into consideration.  Hosting Facts tested and reviewed over 30 different web-hosting companies.

2) Content Management Platform

A “Content Management Platform” is a set of components and modules that can be used to build a content administration and online publishing environment customized to the individual needs of a specific online business.

To run your online business, you need to publish your content (blog, video, banner, landing page ,…) online. This online platform is your website. Buying a domain and start to build up your very own website is the best way to jump-start your permanent online presence and in later more professional steps, to get ranked in by Google and flow of organic traffic.

3) List of Subscribers and Mailing List

An email list is a special list of names and email addresses of people who gave you permission to send them updates and promotions from your business. You can build your email list inside a marketing software (like AWeber) and send bulk email notifications to everyone regarding your blog updates, online business etc.

For some online business owners, email marketing may seem archaic. With the prevalence of social media and a hundred other forms of messaging, the traditional email format feels relatively old. However, it still remains one of the most powerful and thoroughly understood “modern” forms of communication. That’s why just about every social media platform requires you to have an email.

I will walk you through all the necessary information you need in my other blog post “Email List Building”.

There are always two main categories for online marketing:
