As promised, it's now time to set up an email account.
There are lot's of different free services you can use, but the one that has a lot more to offer than just email, is a gmail account.
Check out this Youtube Clip that explains how to set up a Gmail account.
Once you have done that, you are ready to open up a Google Analytics account,
watch the below video that explains how to set up Google Analytics.
Once you have done that, you can enter your Google Analytics code on your website, that is hosted by Blacknight, through the control panel.
Just login via cp.blacknight.com and select the Google tab and fill in the code
The above are just the bare essentials, but I would recommend you also learn about Google Webmaster tools.
Once you have created your Google Webmaster account, you can enter your code in your account.
See attached image
In the Google tab on Blacknight, you'll also find a FREE 100 Euros voucher for Google Adwords.
I found the below Video very explanatory but only covers the very basics.
Google Adwords is a very powerfull online advertising system.
However, one word of advice!!! 100 Euros is a great amount of money that is given to you for free by Google, but if you don't study the ins and outs of Google Adwords, your 100 Euros will be gone before you know, so I would recommend you focus on your website, and once the website is finished, can you start contemplating starting a Google Adword campaign.
The 100 Euros is a one off freebie, and as you want to make sure you get the most benefit of it, please make sure you spend some time reading on how it all works.
I'll cover Google Adwords at another stage.
So so far we have covered
Step 1. Choosing a domain name and setting up a website
Step 2. Set up a Gmail account, set up Google Analytics, set up Google Webmaster, set up Google Adwords.
During the week I'll give some tips on creating/finding a logo, and how to set up a mailing list.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post, and please feel free to comment on it!
Oh yes, so far, money spent = o!
