When you build your internet business, the first thing you should do is to get good rankings for your name. Your name is your business card on the internet. Whenever you start a work at home business, type of business is completely up to you, you will need a business card. You don't have to print a business card for your small business, your social network is your very efficient business card.
On the internet your name is the business card, so you have to get good ranking for your name, so people can find you if they want to know who you are.
They would like to get to know you and the solution is your social network. The Social network will establish you and show people who you are. Your comments on the social networks, your activities on the social networks, it all comes together to show people that you are a real person. In addition you can use the social media for marketing, but that is another issue.
Today we will discuss how to set it up.
First of all, the social media websites give you a personal page for information about yourself. This is the page that Google scans regularly. In most social networks you can put links to your favorite websites, to your work and your blog. So this is where to start building your network.
Get your blog first.
The first step is your blog. The blog will be the key in your system, so chose a good adresse. Your name is the best address you can have, so I recommend that you use your name as the URL to the blog website.
I used simply evenjahr. Keep in mind that you will use this as your name in all the social networks as your account name.
Why should you own you website?
The website we will use for many purposes, the blog is the first. By owning your own website you will be able to control the content on the website.
Should I use free hosting for this?
Free hosting is nice, but normally they will put some advertising up on your website or they have other limitations which will give you problems later. Owning your won website is therefore an advantage.
From time to time you will experience that one of the searchengines will not verify your website, because you are using a subdomain. So your own website will give you the flexibility you will need later.

What should you chose? There are many good products, you would chose a system which is easy to install and in addition it should be search engine friendly. I use Wordpress, which is easy to optimize for the searchengines.
Wordpress is easy to install, it is easy to change the look and feel of Wordpress and finally it is optimized for search engines.
Once you have registered your domain name and out up your blog, you can start building your network. Chose your network sites carefully and complete as much if the information as you possible can.
In addition to about me, have a picture or two ready for download to the websites.
Fill out about me, my hobbies and so on. Some of the websites will give you the possibility to register your blog URL, your work URL and so on. Enter your blog address, this will be shown on your profile page and found by the search engines. You can also use this to link some of your sites together, but you should always link to your blog.
Finally, from your blog you link back to all your profile pages.
This completed, your social network is in place and you are ready to fill your network with life.
