If you are apprehensive and don't want to jump head first into internet marketing then one way of dipping your toe in the water is to set up throw away websites.

At first you will be overwhelmed with information overload and may not know how to start. This can stifle your creativity and hold you back from pushing on with your website.

We all have different talents and creative skills. Some are good at writing, others at creating videos. Perhaps you are good at site design. Whatever your creative skill you need a way of experimenting in order to bring out the best in yourself.

Sometimes our fears can hold us back. We learn by doing and the best way is to experiment, make mistakes and then correct them.

Nothing worse then seeing all our dreams disappear down the pan and along with them we have gone and blown a rather large hole in our wallet.

What exactly are throw away websites?

It is a website where you can test your ideas and put into use anything you have learnt. For example, setting up a Wordpress site takes time. There are many things to put in place such as permalinks, plugins, categories, posts, pages etc.

By setting up a throw away website you can freely practice everything you have learnt.

You can optimise your posts for the search engines as well as add any videos, images you want.

Install Wordpress and try out the many different themes available to you.

Experiment with driving traffic to your site. Set up Google analytics and monitor how many visitors you are getting each day as well as where they are coming from. Analyse the keywords people have used in order to find your site.

How do you create throw away websites?

Firstly you will have to decide and then purchase a domain name. The best domain to buy for a  throw away website is a .info domain. Decide on what name you want for your domain name and head over to godaddy.com and see if it is available. You can also host your site at godaddy, but I would recommend using Hostgator for this.

A .info domain and one year of hosting will not cost you very much.

You don't really care too much if the site fails because it was only an experimental site that you did not have to shell out too much of your hard earned cash for.

You will be free to explore your creative side and be able to test, test and keep testing your ideas. Once you have mastered internet marketing on a throw away website you can then transfer what your have learnt to your main site.

So you see, throw away websites could save you hours or even months of wasted time and effort.
