Hi

Id really like to develop my own webpage to include my own referral links to the survey, PTR & cashback sites that I am a member of. I want it to have my own guides on there & also a forum similar to this one. Id also want sections on other ways to earn money (tax benefits etc.). Id want it to be primarily based for people in the UK (as I dont think there are many good sites just for the UK) and also a more regionalised section for when I have contacts for mystery shopping in Yorkshire.

However I have no webdesign skills at all.

Please can anyone suggest a site where a novice can easily build their own webpage adequate enough to accommodate my above ideas.

or Can anyone suggest someone or a company (perhaps on here?) who can help me with this?

And generally, does anyone have any ideas, suggestions or feedback for me on this?

Thanks
Jayne

Hi Jayne,

Just a suggestion here, but if your site is going to be related to survey, GPT, etc... then you might be better off saving the time and money in running your own forum and just promote GPH --using your own Google Adsense code to earn money from clicks on topics you start and reply to. That way, you don't have the headache but you still earn money by being helpful and active.

I've seen a lot of GPT forums come and go over the last couple of years and they usually disappear because they get hacked or they don't make money with little to no traffic. By using an Adsense code in Get-Paid-Hwy, you can make money without any risk or investment.

As far as having your own site for referrals, perhaps someone else on the site can give you some pointers. I'm not up on the latest free hosting sites, but there may be some that allow you to put your own links and such.

Cheers,

Brandon

Hello again Jayne.Let me see how can I help you.For a start,you don't necessarily need web design skills.Depending on what you want,such as a domain (http://www.mysite.com),or a free host,there are a lot of options for you:

-WYSIWYG : "what you see is what you get" programs.There are a ton of them on the Internet and many are free.How do they work?Well it's simple.These programs are automated and user-friendly interfaced.You just choose,click and copy-paste the things you want,and the program does all the thinking for you.You can make a website with your eyes closed on one of these.

-Free hosting and site-builder : There are also thousands of such services.You choose your site name (http://www.mysite.service.com) and they offer you a free site builder,they are a lot like WYSIWYG.

How do you find them ?The answer is Google.Just type : "free hosting site-builder" or "free WYSIWYG" , "free site-builder" .You will be filled with them.

How do you make your site?Well keep it simple.Include a short description of the program ,and put your referral link above and beneath the description.Try to offer a motive why people should join you.

If you desire a co.UK service add "co.UK" in the Google search,I'm sure you'll find something.Keep the site updated with content and simple to use.Concentrate on the words you want to attract your referrals with.In this way the site will rise up more in the list when someone searches Google with those words.
Puravida's idea is also good,you can add some ads to your site to get a passive earning as well.

There is no need for someone to suggest you a site because there are like grass and sand over the Internet,just use Google with the appropriate keywords.Still here are some examples :
( www.freewebs.com , www.tripod.lycos.com , www.byethost.com , www.heartinternet.co.uk )

Try what I said and if you want more help come back to the forum and post some more.I wish you good luck,again.

Hi jane

Well the above answers come from experts
but may I add something
you might try to set up a blog and drive traffic to it in forums
for me the content is the most important

I wish you luck
