Now that you have seen more information about building a static HTML website, what about using a Content Management System, such as Joomla, WordPress, or Drupal? This is something that many small business website owners are now preferring to do, even though it may seem a bit more difficult to accomplish at the beginning. However, using a CMS has many more advantages as opposed to disadvantages as you will see presented here.

Advantages

• Ease of updating your website. If you plan to update your website on a regular basis, such as adding or removing products, adding new content, adding and removing seasonal promotions and special offers, etc. than a content management system will make this a whole lot easier for you. All you would need to do would be to log into your back end, make the necessary changes and it’s done. No need to use an HTML editor software, or re-upload files constantly to your web host.
• No coding or web design knowledge required. Here, you will not need to have any web design knowledge, or know how to use HTML. All you would do is install the CMS, then install the necessary themes or templates that will be the backbone of your site.
• Good for e-commerce. When you are planning to run an e-commerce website, using a CMS is mandatory if you are serious about it. WordPress, Joomla and Drupal all have e-commerce themes, both free and paid, that you can use to manage your website with ease. You can perform operations such as adding products, setting up different prices, coupons, promotions, integrating with different payment processors and gateways, etc. There are also dedicated e-commerce CMS available out there, such as Magento and OS Commerce.

Disadvantages

• A bit of a learning curve. For those who are used to working with simple HTML pages, using a CMS for the first time may seem like it has a learning curve associated with it. You will need to figure out which theme is best for your website, then install it and figure out how to use it to make the necessary changes and customizations. However, there are plenty of free tutorials, resources and help files available online for all themes and content management systems. Therefore, even though you may need to spend a few hours learning how to figure it out, in the end it will all be very easy for you.

As we can see here, using a CMS for your business website is definitely a good choice. No matter what kind of website you want to run, there will always be themes and templates available for you. Also, your site management will be streamlined significantly, as you can simply update your website with a few clicks of the mouse, rather than having to fire up Dreamweaver, make changes to your site, save the new file, then upload it to your webhost and replace the old one. Therefore, there is less work involved when using a CMS.

If you are thinking of creating a clickbank product then you need to make sure you launch it correctly as if done properly you can easily make $20,000 a month and be one of the top sellers for your category on clickbank with a very high gravity score.

First you need to setup an account with clickbank and pay the $49 activation fee and get your website sales and thank you page approved.  Then the next step is to get a buzz online about your new product.

I highly recommend joining the following forums and posting your advert in the following forums:

• Warrior Forum - http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/ (WSO)
• aBlake Forum – http://www.ablakeforum.com/ (ESF Marketplace)
• BlackHat Forum – http://www.blackhatworld.com/ (Buy, Sell or Trade)
• Digital Point Forum – http://forums.digitalpoint.com/ (Buy, Sell or Trade)

As an example i will use the Warrior Special Offers (WSO) section considering most people know this forum well.

In order to meet the posting rules of the Warrior Forum you need to make sure you sales page meets the following:

“A Warrior Special Offer Means The Price You Give Must Be Better Than The Price The Public At Large Can Get. (This is not a “buy my product” forum, it is a “Special Offer” forum)”

So make sure that the price you offer your product on the WSO section is cheaper then what you are selling it on clickbank for.

Then what you need to do is setup a 2nd free clickbank account and sign up as an affiliate to your product. 

Then when you setup your special offer sales page make the payment button go through your 2nd clickbank free account.  Or you can create a free special report for your product and within the report put your 2nd clickbank free link in there which then directs the user to your sales page.

By setting it up like this will shoot up your gravity ratings on Clickbank and push your product to the top of the category your advertising in, bringin in even more affiliates and more sales.
