It's 2016, But Nearly Half of U.S. Small Businesses Still Don't Have a Website

-
Recently I read a post from http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/271068

It is a great article and it reminds me even though the internet has been out there for so many years, however till today, 46 percent of  U.S. small businesses still don’t have a website for their company. That just means there is still a huge online market out there.

The next survey mentioned in that article is quite interesting too:
And then this one:
What really surprises me is the second reason, Cost, 30%. Nowadays hosting a website is really cheap now and with all the ready-to-use tools in place, owning a website becomes more affordable than ever, just to name a few:
GoDaddy has domain starting just $0.99 per year and it is my favorite domain place.

THE domain at THE price! $.99 .Com Domains from GoDaddy!
For hosting itself, I like Hostgator and its plan starts just $4.86 per month. It provides all wonderful tools and ready to use wordpress blog platform, not to mention all those beautiful free themes.

So I simplify his process to 3 steps and here it is: Step 1: Set up a spreadsheet template-- Very Important The first thing you’re going to have to do is set up a template in Google Sheets that you can use every time you run the keyword research process. First,  sign in to Google Sheets  and create a blank spreadsheet.
