n recent times, it has become easy for anyone to start making serious cash on the internet. The internet is full of information on how to do just about anything. How to build a business directory website was a question I was asked by an internet newbie recently. I decided the question was something I could easily write a short article on, as I have built hundreds of websites using easy to use templates.
WordPress is a simple to use free blogging tool which can be transformed into a fully functioning website with an extremely easy to use login area for administrators to manage posts (news or blogs), pages, and users. If the website is a shop or takes payment in some way then the administrator is able to manage sales from the WordPress administration area.
Building a WordPress website for the purpose of a business type directory has become easier in recent times, with some very good themes which handle all the necessary functions needed to run a self running business directory website.
A theme is website template for the WordPress platform. WordPress has thousands of free themes which will easily turn a regular WordPress blog into a WordPress website.
Premium WordPress themes cost perhaps one hundred US dollars, but can easily turn a WordPress into a business website with monetizing features like taking cash payments for listing on a business style directory.
The very first thing that is needed before you start thinking about creating a WordPress website is to get some WordPress hosting. WordPress hosting can come in the form of a simple hosting plan, but I would say the most important thing for newbie is to get cpanel and fantastico included in the hosting plan.
Cpanel allows hosting plan users the ability to manage their WordPress website installation easily, but the addition of fantastico to a hosting plan will allow you to install WordPress with just a couple of clicks without having to touch any hefty code.
Once installed, the WordPress business website is accessed by simply logging into WordPress and then just installing a WordPress business directory theme from the appearances tab in the WordPress administration area.
A business website in the style of a directory can easily be monetized by charging users of the website a small fee to list their business on your business directory website. Local business style directory websites can be used to easily market a new business to other businesses and at the same time make a residual income. The best thing about running a business directory is the ability for sales to be made while you are asleep or away from a computer, the whole process is automated and the website can be instantly monetized to build a local niche website.
