How to Develop Sell Turnkey Websites
Developing Turnkey Websites
1. Determine which open source web programming software will best suit your needs. For instance, Joomla is a great content management system that can be used to easily create magazine type websites and subscription based sites. While Wordpress is great for developing a quick blog type site with easy-to-build content, thanks to a great admin area. Then there's Drupal and PHPFox for social networking type sites, and so on and so forth. OpenCMS offers a great resource for finding the best software for your website building needs.
2. Install the website building program you decide to use. For some applications, you may be able to use a one button installer known as 'Fantasico,' so you'll need to check with your provider to see if simple installs are available. If simple installs are not an option, read the readme file that comes with your download.
3. Choose a 'template' for your program. Most applications such as Wordpress and Joomla offer free and premium templates that can be installed to give your website an immediate professional or fun look.
4. Write content and upload it to your site. A basic niche website should contain at least 5-10 pages of original content, while larger websites will obviously require more work. The content should focus on a certain topic that gives the website a certain focus.
5. Publish the new content to the website.
Selling A Website Once It Offers Content
6. Visit popular website selling sites such as Sitepoint and forums.digitalpoint. These sites allow users to list their sites and what they offer.
7. Make sure to include important site information with your free listings such as: Number of Visitors, Whether the content is original, Revenue currently being made, and any other pertinent info, such as the platform the site is based on and the host currently being used, along with terms of the sale.
8. Set a BIN (Buy It Now) price for the website. If it's a quick site you set up in a few hours you probably don't want to go to high with the price, but make sure to include in the pricing structure all of the work that went into the website.
9. Accept payment from the winning bidder and then transfer the site to the winner and make sure they accept the transferred files. Set up terms as to when you can delete the pages from your own server.
How to Change Your Google Password
If You Know Your Password
1. Open the Google accounts homepage in your web browser (see Resources). Enter your user name and password into the appropriate fields on the right-hand side of the page.
2. Click the 'Change password' link under the 'Personal Settings.' Enter your current password in the first field.
3. Enter your new password in the 'New password' field. Make sure your password appears 'Good' or 'Strong' according to Google's password strength tool on the right-hand side of the window. You will not be allowed to change your password if the new password is considered weak. Click the 'Save' button to finalize your password change.
If You Do Not Know Your Password
4. Open the Google accounts homepage in your web browser (see Resources). Click on the blue 'Can't access your account?' link beneath the login fields.
5. Select the 'I forgot my password' option on the next page. Click on the blue 'Reset your password now' link that appears underneath the initial options.
6. Enter your email address. If you have a Gmail address, answer the security question to proceed. If you have an email address through another service provider, open the password retrieval email sent by Google to continue.
7. Enter a new password into the 'Password' field. Confirm the password by reentering it in the appropriate field.
How to Start A Blog for Free
1. Browse to one of the sites listed in Resources.Blogger is integrated with Google Adsense, which can make you a little cash on the side if your blog becomes popular. Google also allows you to claim a domain name for your blog. Instead of myblog.blogger.com, it could be myblogsite.com. On the downside, Blogger doesn't offer much in the way of simple customization. Beyond the basic layout changes through their admin interface, you'll need to dive into the HTML and CSS to change things.WordPress, on the other hand, is free to install on any website you already own, which means complete customization. They host blogs on their site, but these have fewer options for end users. Integrating ads into a WordPress blog isn't as quick as with Blogger, but you can use any ads you like, instead of being restricted to Google Adsense.Tumblr is a little different from the other two – it's minimalistic and there are fewer personalization features, but the simple interface and follow system (similar to Facebook's like and repost system) has appeal for some users, especially more casual bloggers.
2. Sign up with the site by choosing a name for your blog, entering your information, username, password and email.Try to be descriptive when choosing the name for your blog – the name will help readers find your blog in search engines.
3. Choose a template or theme for your blog. Themes and templates can always be changed later, if you're in a hurry.If you're having difficulty picking a theme, consider your readers and the subject of your blog. The most obvious difference between blogs is the theme – a technology blog rarely looks like a home gardening blog, for example, in part because of the theme. If you understand what your readers will find most appealing, choosing a theme along that line will add some extra flair to your blog.
4. Make your first posting or customize your blog.
How to Use HTML in WordPress Text Widget
1. Visit yoursite.com/wp-admin and log into your WordPress dashboard. Click 'Appearance' and then 'Widgets' in the left-hand menu. On the right-hand side of the screen are your website's sidebars and other widget-capable areas, named things like 'Sidebar' or 'Footer Widget Section.' These names usually describe the section of the page they effect. Click on the one you want to work with to expand it.
2. Find the 'Text' widget in the middle of the 'Widgets' page and drag and drop it into the sidebar of your choosing. You can add as many 'Text' widgets to as many sidebars as you like.
3. Fill in the title if you wish a title to appear over the widget's content when you visit the site. Leave it blank if you do not want a title. Paste your HTML code into the bottom input field of the 'Text' widget. Check that the checkbox at the bottom is not checked, because automatic paragraphs will interfere with your HTML code. Click the 'Save' button to update the widget with your new content.

How to Increase Revenue Solving Customer Complaints
1. CUSTOMER COMPLAINT SOFTWARE: The quickest way to address problems if you are experiencing difficulty with high number of customer loss. Some CRM software or customer complaint software may help in identifying what you need to do and repair the exodus.
2. REVENUE: Recognize that your customer that verbalizes a complaint is doing you a HUGE favor. You don't need to spend money on focus group to find out why a customer is unhappy. Recognize that your customer is your revenue base and they are not leaving yet. Customers with satisfactory resolution to problem will increase your revenue 3x. They will have greater loyalty and perhaps bring in more customers.
3. LISTEN: When the customer is talking do not be defensive. Listen to the vent and try to understand what they are saying. Write down the complaints and let the customer know you are happy they have told you this.
4. VALIDATE and ASK : Validate customer concerns and let them know you are taking it seriously. ASK them what they would like to see happen to resolve their problem. Most of the time customers are reasonable. If a customer is unreasonable you have to decide whether to close the back door on them or not. If a customer has a reasonable solution implement it immediately.
5. PROACTIVE: Do not wait for your customers to complain. If you offer guarantee, implement it before customer asks if at all possible. A strong loyal customer will bring in more revenue. Any perceived losses by being proactive will be offset with increased customer loyalty. Remember normally it costs more to gain new customers than to retain your customer base. Be proactive, if a customer does leave find out WHY.
6. DEFINE CUSTOMER SERVICE: Define and write out what the company considers is great customer service. Refine the expectation and communicate it throughout your company. Excellent customer service can be learned. Go to a company that is known for customer service and ask if you could sit in on a training program. Read books and websites that deal with customer service.
7. Your customers are gold. It takes less money to retain a customer than to obtain a new customer. Enjoy your increased revenues.
8. I had to add this last step, because today I had best customer service from Office Max on a return. The service person RAY was awesome. He smiled, listened and did return in a way that took extra time for him. As a result I took time to ask a couple questions about ad matching etc. I will be back to that store as much as I can now. THANKS
