Managing Your Own Website

The World Wide Web is a gateway to the world, literally. You can have people from all countries listening to your music and buying your music. You can be telling people about yourself and playing them your music even when you are asleep, and more than you could tell them in a telephone conversation. They can even send a request or question to you at no cost, and your reply would cost you nothing.

There are quite a few reliable companies that can promote and sell your music for you online. However, you are one among a shelf full of musicians trying to promote your music.

This is where your own website is essential, your own space where people can get to know you more. It is advantageous to be promoted on a number of sites, but having your own site adds a touch of professionalism as well as individuality.
If you can get people to go to your own domain, or website, they will be less distracted by all those other artists trying to vye for their attention. You can advertise your site on all those other websites, but once you get their attention, you want them to come to you.

So how do you go about getting a Internet Domain all to yourself? How much do you need to know about computers, HTML and the Internet, not forgetting search engines, wow, how can I do this?

The answer is that you do not need to know much at all. A good reliable website developer will do it all for you. Oh yes, there are those who will charge $1000 per page to get you online, but let the big businesses and entrepeneurs spend that much, you do not need to.

The truth is that there are alot of good semi-professional web developers out there willing to build sites at a reasonable rate, HOWEVER, there are some basics you need to know so that you get what you need.

And that is why you are reading this.

•   First of all, remember that when you pay someone for work done, the result of that work belongs to YOU.

Make sure that when the job is done, YOU will have a copy of ALL the details relating to the site, including a copy, or copies, of the HTML code that is used to build the site.

Secondly, know too that websites are 80% about MARKETING and only 20% about technology, therefore whether you build your own site or have someone do it for you make sure you account for the Narketing aspect first and foremost. Although a msuic website is abouty entertaining and maybe alittle 'pizzaz' - it is still primarily about marketing your product.

So where to start?
