Welcome to the full step-by-step video guide on how to build your own website for your business-on-the-side!

If you have any questions or feedback, just ask them in the comments area at the bottom and I'll be sure to reply.

I'll also be including a text version of this at the very bottom below all the videos, so feel free to check that out in the near future if you prefer that over video lessons.

Enjoy the guide, and I look forward to hearing what you think 🙂

Use this video if your product, service, or blog isn’t just for a Canadian audience.

If you’re creating something just for Canadians, then skip this video and move onto the next one (since the process is different).

Check Domain Availability and Setup Hosting

If you’re a Canadian or have a Canadian corporation and your site is specifically for Canadians, then you definitely want to obtain a “.ca” domain (even though you have to jump through a few more hoops to get it).

Skip this video if your product, service, or blog is not exclusively for a Canadian audience.

Check “.ca” Domain Availability (Canadians Only)

This is a continuation from the previous video.

Skip this video if you did not get a “.ca” domain.

Set up Hosting (for a .ca domain)

This video is for everyone (whether you’re using a “.com” or “.ca” domain).

Skip this video if you did not get a “.ca” domain.

Link Your “.ca” Domain to Your Hosting

This step is for everyone (whether you’re using a “.com” or “.ca” domain).

It’s a critical step for several reason as explained in the video:

Get The Right WordPress Theme

This next step is for everyone (whether you’re using a “.com” or “.ca” domain).

Congratulations! You can now start building your site. The video below will show you step-by-step how I built the site so that you can follow along if you wish. To summarize, here are the tools that were used from beginning to end:

• Hosting: Bluehost
• Check Domain Availability (for everything except getting a ".ca" domain)
• Check “.ca” Domain Availability (if you want a ".ca" domain)
• Optimizepress (to build the site)
• Email provider to build your list: AWeber

To help you out, here is a checklist of the things that I prepared before recording the video:

• The Logo
• Writing the Base Content for the Site (home page, about page, etc.)
• Preparing Pictures to be Used for the Site

That's it! I hope you enjoyed the guide! If you know of anybody else that is looking to start their own business, please share this with them.

I wish you all the best,

Kornel
