I-Marketer Blog and Newsletter

You don’t have to know everything to start a business from home, but you should know some things.

Think about it this way: If you were going to build a new house you probably wouldn’t do it yourself, you’d hire a professional. But you wouldn’t call a professional if you wanted to hang a picture on the wall.

The same is true for a website: You don’t need to know all there is to know about html, PHP, Javascript and ASP, but you should learn how to do a few little things. One of the little things you need to be able to do is to add a link to your site.

It’s simple and you can do it. Here’s how…

First, let me show you what a link looks like (in HTML):

<a xhref=” http://www.All-In-One-Business.com “>Click Here</a>

This code will make a link pointing to http://www.All-In-One-Business.com with the text “Click Here”. It would look like this on a web page:

Click Here

OK, now all you have to do to make your own link is change the URL in the link:

http://www.All-In-One-Business.com

to wherever you want the link to point.

So, if you wanted to point to http://www.TrafficWriting.com it would look like this:

<a xhref=” http://www.TrafficWriting.com “>Click Here</a>

To point to http://www.All-In-One-Business.com/getdirection (a free resource on Goal Setting) it would look like this:

<a xhref=” http://www.All-In-One-Business.com/getdirection “>Click Here</a>

Get it? Good.

Now, what if I wanted to not use the words “Click Here” but “A Free Resource on Goal Setting”? Here is how the link would look:

<a xhref=” http://www.All-In-One-Business.com/getdirection “>A Free Resource on Goal Setting</a>

On the web page that code would give you this result:

A Free Resource on Goal Setting

Any words you put before the </a> will show up in the blue underlined link.

Now you know how to create a link on your website.
