Getting ready

So we want to build a website that earns us money... great... now what? 

There are number of skills we're going to need in order to do this. Not only skills like website development, but also how to implement SEO, build content, branding, and (probably the most important) how to select the niche for the website.

With less than 2 weeks to go before I dive into this, I thought it would be best to learn a few of the skills I will require and get familiar with some of the tools out there that will make life easier. 

But let's first look at the major steps of building this website and take it from there. Here are the steps I aim to take. These steps assume no outsourcing will be done. I'll decide on whether to outsource particular tasks later.

1. Commit to this (no use being half hearted)
2. Decide what the website will be about (what niche and audience am I targeting)
3. Decide on a look, feel and basic website layout I think will suit this website
4. Find the right development tools (development platform, payment gateway, plugins, etc)
5. Build the website's content
6. Get the website up Google's ranks
7. Add revenue generators
8. Continually work on ranking and other advertising to grow and grow
