Answer to this – Yup, you can be a webmaster.

Hi everyone,

Years ago when I started, people would laugh at me when I told them I can create a website. Well actually I was still a noob then and used to create some silly static sites made using frontpage and hosted on some poor quality free hosts. Well I really wasn’t a webmaster then. I was just a small scale webdesigner.

So what actually is a webmaster?

A Webmaster is a person incharge of a site. He should have all the qualities of a webdeveloper, designer, he should be able to SEO, etc.

How can you be one?

Just keep reading my blog. lol

You need several things for a site. Make a checklist before you proceed. Here is a sample.

1. A Domain or use a co.cc domain. Click here to get one => http://co.cc

2. Hosting. Go for a free one with a good space and bandwidth, mysql databases, cpanel[maybe], PHP5 will be good, etc. You may use my hosting services at aliengang.net [under construction] Just mail me at mail@divyun.com for free hosting.

3. An idea to work on. Like, you can make blog about yourself, make a community for you and your friends, create a site on a specific topic like aliens, etc.

4. Create your site using any free pre-made software or start from scratch.

5. Then, you need to work on search optimization of your site so that your site is indexed properly and you have to promote it too.

Well, this is all for now. If you are having trouble with any thing in my post, well, google is a webmaster’s best friend. I’ll write more about the things that will make you a webmaster.

First of all :-

Google is a webmaster’s best friend.

If you keep searching and learning, you may be able to find all the info listed below from one or the other sources. But here is a contrasted summary or a small overview.

To get a domain you would require money.

Time is money

So a little time devoted can help you get a domain.

Some sources of free domains (are listed blelow) along with the “how to”:

(A) Hostbidder-

Hostbidder is webmaster’s forum which has been providing free domains, since 2003, in echange of points (which you get by posting) know as HB$.

FAQ

Q. How many points you get per post?

A. You can get a 10 points per post.

Q. How many you given points for per day?

A. Well, you get points for ever first 8 (>30) words post per day.

Q. How many for a domain?

A. 900 HB$ for a domain.

CLICK HERE.

Note:

4 posts * 10 points = 40 points * 23 days > 900 HB$.

So 23 days ins’t too long to wait for a domain.

Points and HB$ are the same things.

Just like hostbidder, there are plenty of similar sites. I have tried most of them but Hostbidder works the best.

(b) Earning cash online and using it to buy a domain:-

Domains( popular ones like .com, .net,etc.) usually cost around 10 $ or so.

.com for $7.75.

.net for $6.99.

Click for the price list.

Click here to register a domain.

So how to earn this cash?

I think, the answer should be PTC (Paid To Click) sites. But you need to find genuine PTC sites that pay.

Let me recommend some:-

1. B-U-X.net

2. bux3.com

3. Osobux.com

4. Pandabux.com

You clicking alone won’t do much good to you. You need to refer people under you.

20 ads * 10 referrals* $ 0.01= 2 $ in one day.

Awesome!

(c) Contests

Yeah! I mean contests. Find a contest and win a free domain. You’ll find of such kind if you keep searching webmaster’s forums. But this is gonna be hard. Try reading the next method. Its the easiest.

(d) Co.cc

if you think that other methods are bogus or you cost you a lost of time. Then this is for you, use might use a free co.cc domain. Actually, what you’ll get is a sub-domain but would work just like a professional fully functional TLD(Top level domain). No difference.
