Decide what type of online book club you want to start.Before doing anything else, think about what type of book club you would like. Do you want to focus on a certain genre, a certain author, or a particular group of books. Or, would you rather leave the choice of books wide open for more variety?
Establish guidelines, rules and a schedule.Prior to building your site and recruiting members, create some basic guidelines, rules and a simple schedule. You may want to adjust these later as your group evolves, but it's beneficial to have some policies in place. Visit a few other online book clubs to get an idea of the kind of rules you might want to implement, including membership requirements, how books will be chosen, when they will be discussed, how any spoilers will be posted and a schedule for reading.
Select a forum hosting service.You can build your own website from scratch if you have the knowledge and time, but a much quicker and easier way is to sign up to host your own forum. There are a number of sites that offer free forums, but they do come with limitations and usually some ads. Other sites offer low-priced forum hosting with more options than free hosting. Choose your host carefully, since it can be difficult and frustrating to change services after your board is established, and you may lose members during a switchover. InvisionFree is a popular choice for free forum hosting, and iPowerweb is a top choice for paid forum hosting. Check the Additional Resources section for links to these two providers.
Build your site.Following the instructions provided by your hosting service, build and customize your forum. Consider including areas for discussion of the current book you are reading, discussion of other books, and for general off-topic discussion to give your members a chance to get to know each other better.
Build membership.Once your site is up and running, you are ready to begin recruiting members. Start by scanning your email address list for possible members, then expand your search by posting about your new group in book-related forums and on free classified ad sites like Craigslist. In addition to recruiting online, post flyers in libraries, bookstores and other places where you might find interested members.
Choose your first book.Using the guidelines you created in Step 2, choose your first book, remind members of the guidelines, and begin reading and enjoying your new online book club.

How to Set Up a Website for a Small BusinessIn Feburary 2016 15,

Choose a domain name, which will be the unique online location for your website. Use an online site like GoDaddy.com or NetworkSolutions.com to help you determine which sites are available. The best domain names are ones that are similar to your business name and easy to spell and remember. While .com sites are the most popular, don't overlook .net or .biz domains. Try to avoid using a domain name that would get confused with a popular website or competitor.
Secure a domain name. Once you have selected the name you'd like to use for your website, you will need to purchase it at an online hosting site like GoDaddy.com or DotEasy.com. You should also consider purchasing any related website names, such as .org, .net and .biz domains, to avoid confusion if someone sets up a website with a similar name to the one you have chosen for your business.
Purchase a web hosting package. Services like the ones mentioned above offer a variety of packages for online website and email hosting. Basic packages are available for a nominal fee. You should select your package based on specific needs, such as bandwidth, email accounts, storage needs and MySQL database need, subdomain availability and secure SLL certification. It may be beneficial to discuss your specific needs with a website designer or a web savvy friend to ensure that you purchase the best hosting package for your business.
Develop your site design and content. Before programming your website, you will need to determine its content. Information about you and your company, news items, events, blogs, photos and contact information are common components of most websites. You will also want to determine your website's navigation--how the information is presented and is accessed from one page to the next. It may be helpful to work with a professional copywriter and website designer to help you determine the best way to develop and organize content for your site.
Program your site, either using a professional website designer, an online service such as Homestead.com or iBuilt.com or an html software package like Adobe Dreamweaver. Online sites and downloadable software packages offer step-by-step instructions for website development and programming, including built-in templates, guides for downloading images and uploading content and customizable colors.
Upload your site. Once you have programmed and tested your website, you'll want to make it live. Send the link to customer and friends to help spread the word about your business. You may want to include a link for submitting feedback on your content and design to help improve your website's look and functionality.
