Every person building something online was once exactly where you are. The difference between them and everyone else? They started. This page is your map.
Don't skip phases. Don't do them out of order. Each one builds the foundation for the next.
Before you can build anything, you need a home on the internet. A domain name (your address) and hosting (where your files live). This is the only step that costs money — and it's less than $40/year.
Don't wait until it's perfect. A live, simple website beats a perfect website that doesn't exist. Start with a homepage that explains who you are and what you do. That's it.
Google won't find you automatically. You need to go to Google Search Console, submit your site, and submit your sitemap. This takes 15 minutes and it's completely free. Don't skip this step.
One blog post, one page, one piece of content per week. That's all. Each piece of content is a door for Google to send someone to your site. The more doors, the more visitors.
Once you have traffic coming in, monetise it. Affiliate links to tools you recommend. A services page. Digital products. Sponsored content. You only need one stream to start.
Explore Monetisation Tools →The single best thing you can do right now is register your domain and get hosting. Everything else follows from that one decision. Under $40/year. 10 minutes to set up.
