How to Set Up a Website to Sell Sheet Music
Go to Wordpress.com. If you already have an account there, log in. If you don't have an account, click the 'Sign Up Now' button. Follow the prompts in the sign-up process.
Mouse over 'My Blog' in the menu that now appears at the top of the screen and click 'Dashboard.' Configure your Settings and Appearance options according to your preferences. Under 'Pages,' edit your 'About' page to provide your visitors with information about what you're selling.
Create a blog post for each item you're selling. Enter the title of the sheet music as your post title, e.g., 'Moonlight Sonata Sheet Music for Clarinet.' On each page, include the following: a photo representing the sheet music; a description of what your customer is purchasing; any special instructions your customers should know before ordering; a Paypal shopping cart button (see section 2 below). Assign a category to each post to help shoppers navigate your inventory.
Click 'Publish' when the post is complete. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all of your sheet music inventory is included on the site.
Click 'Appearance' in the left-hand sidebar of your Wordpress dashboard, then click 'Widgets.' If the 'Category' widget doesn't already appear in the blog sidebar, locate it in the list of widgets and drag it to the sidebar.

How to Start a Review Website (8 Steps)
Decide on a topic to review. Choose a topic that you are interested in or have expertise in to help with writing reviews.
Decide how the website will be hosted. A host is the location that your website will be stored. There are free hosting options offered by some websites with a variety of available options. For a more permanent option, consider purchasing a domain name and web hosting for a monthly fee.
Decide how you will build the website. If you have web development experience and wish to create the website by hand, search for helpful tutorials in HTML coding and CSS styling to aid you in development. If you are new to creating web content, consider using a website with tutorials for creating free websites.
Plan the features your website will provide. Some features a review website may have could include forums for users to discuss reviews or, for a movie review example, discuss other movies and post requests for other reviews. A review site could have video clips and an image gallery related to the review topic.

How to Set Up a BBS Internet Server (5 Steps)
Determine what software you will use to manage your BBS. Bulletin boards use special software that manages user accounts and provides the system operator with a wide range of administrative controls. There are many BBS software programs to choose from. Synchronet (see Resources) is a popular open source software that can be used free of charge. Impulse BBS and Ezycom are other options that will allow you to administer your own BBS server. Review the available options to determine which contain the features you require, and which are priced within your budget.
Acquire a server that can be used to host your BBS software. Refer to the minimum system requirements for the software you are using and make sure the server you select will meet or exceed those requirements. You will typically need to have either a Win 32 or Unix-based system to use as a server. This can be either a computer in your home or office, or a dedicated server at a hosting company. A standard web hosting account will not work for most BBS software programs, but you can select a hosting package for a dedicated Unix server and use that to host your BBS software. The dedicated server is necessary because this is the only way most hosts will allow you to install your own software on the server side.
Install the control panel software on your server. WHM and Virtuozzo are the most common control panel programs to use on a server. These will typically already be installed if you have a dedicated hosting package. Having a control panel installed is important, because it will allow you to have remote access to the server.
Install the BBS server. Use the control panel software to access the server. Go to the installation section of the control panel and follow the onscreen prompts to install your BBS software. The software will also be configured during the installation process, allowing you to set the basic features, such as the maximum number of concurrent users and how long a user can remain inactive before being automatically logged out.
Restart the server to complete the installation process.

How to Start a Video Game Website
Select a web hosting service where you will build your website. Consider disk space and bandwidth available along with price when comparing web hosting services. Selecting a quality host is important to building a high-quality website.
Decide how you are going to design your website. The most basic option is to use a text editing program to write all of the code by hand; however, software is available which can make this easier for users unfamiliar with coding websites by hand. Commercial options like Adobe Dreamweaver can cost hundreds of dollars, while other programs like Mozilla Composer are available online for free.
Research video games and decide what kind of information you want to include on your website. Some options include previews of upcoming games, reviews of games that have been released or hints about how to play specific games. According to the Letters and Science Computing Resources at the University of Berkeley, 'content ultimately is the standard by which your website's usefulness will be judged.' Make sure the research you do will help you to create useful content.
Create the pages of your video game website using the text editor or other design tool you selected in Step 1. Write informative content based on the research from Step 3. Don't include too much information on a single page of the website, or you can overwhelm your visitors with too much text.
Upload the pages of your website to your web host. Most web hosts will have FTP services available, which will allow you to upload all of the pages of your website at once. Each web hosting service will have different procedures, so refer to your host's online help files if you need help with their specific requirements for uploading files.

How to Open an Online Store for Cheap
Find something to sell. If you are a crafter or have connections with suppliers, this part will be pretty easy. If not, there are sources online that will drop-ship products for you. That means that you get the orders through your website and collect payment, then you send payment to the company and they ship the products directly to your customer.
Design your website, or have someone else do it for you. See the Resources section below for some options for learning how to do it yourself. Some web hosts also offer website builders as part of their hosting packages, or you can buy software that will allow you to design a website with ease.
Sign up for an account with Mal's E-commerce if shopping cart software is not included with your web hosting. This free service allows ecommerce store owners to put a simple shopping cart on their sites. Orders can be viewed on the Mal's website.
Sign up for a business PayPal account. Processing payments through PayPal eliminates the need to qualify for an expensive merchant account to accept credit cards. Buyers can pay for purchases with a credit or debit card without signing up for a PayPal account, and they can also send e-checks if they do have an account. PayPal integrates nicely with Mal's E-commerce, and they have a free shopping cart of their own as well if you prefer to use it.
Optimize your site for the search engines. That means including lots of keyword-rich content. This can be accomplished with articles, descriptive category pages and detailed product descriptions.

How to Become a Webmaster in 14 Days (6 Steps)
Learn about basic HTML. If you know how to create a few basic codes, you will be able to customize your website to suit your needs. You don't have to become a programmer, but you do need to know how basic HTML works so that you can correct any problems.
Find a host for your website. Being a webmaster means controlling an independent website. That requires hosting. Look for a hosting plan that delivers exactly the options you need rather than simply looking at the price of the plan. Most hosting companies give price breaks for long-term hosting.
Set up the website. The website will need content, graphics and anything interactive that you want to add. You can outsource that work to a Web writer or a graphic designer, or you can do the work yourself. Set up a timetable so that your completed site is finished as fast as it should be. If you want to create a 10-page site, allow perhaps half a day to develop each of those pages.
Test the site to make sure all of its functions work. You might spend a day or two trying to access the site from different locations and from different browsers. Also contact friends and family to tell you if they have any problems using the site. Make any corrections that need to be made.
Publish the website. Once the website becomes live, it will be available all over the world.
Handle problems that users encounter. Moderate comments and answer questions to keep the website going. Make sure to handle problems fast enough to keep users coming back.

How to Build a Fashion Website for Free (7 Steps)
Get a free web host. A web host is where your website and all of the files associated with the website are kept. There are a lot of free web hosts on the Internet. Choose the one that's right for you. Since you're making a fashion website, it's a good bet you will be uploading a lot of images. Images use space, so it's important to see how much space your free web host provides. If additional storage space is optional, it may be a good idea to spend a nominal fee to purchase it.
Design your website. Most free hosts provide the tools to accomplish this, including those for uploading the files and templates you can use to build your website. Other options include choosing custom colors and graphics. Think about the sections you'll have on your website. You're creating a fashion website, so come up with categories that fit. A section for fashion photography is a good idea. You might also want to include fashion-related articles and fashion industry news. Design your website so it's easy to navigate. Keep your categories to a minimum, and make sure they are clearly indicated by using a larger font.
Create a catchy name for your website that reflects what it's about. Use free graphics software to create a visually appealing logo. There are many websites on the Internet where you can download free software (see Resources below).
Upload plenty of fashion photography. Use free images from one of the many sources found on the Internet. If you use a copyrighted image, make sure to get permission first. You'll need graphics software to manipulate the graphics when necessary. Try to keep your images in easy-to-navigate thumbnail catalogs. Many web hosting services include the ability to create thumbnails in their publishing tools. If not, use graphics software that will automatically create thumbnail categories for you.
Update your website frequently. This is particularly important for a fashion website. The fashion industry changes almost daily. An out-of-date website will cause your visitors to go elsewhere.
Promote your website. Some web hosts provide search engine optimization for a nominal fee. You can do this yourself by visiting search engine home pages and manually submitting your link. Include a link to your website in every e-mail you send. Advertise your website on a MySpace page. Be sure to insert appropriate keywords. This can be done with the publishing tools provided by your free web hosting provider. Take every opportunity you can to get your website noticed.
Look for ways to make money with your website. Google will pay you a share of revenue for putting content-related ads on your website. If you get a lot of traffic, you can entice other companies to pay for ad space. Eventually, maybe you can earn enough money to justify getting your own domain name.

How to Build a Website at No Charge

Gather the elements for the website. Collect all the text, pictures, video and other elements together in one folder on your computer.
Build the site. Sign up for a free account and then type text directly onto the page. Upload images and video by following the instructions provided by either Wordpress or Blogger.
