No doubt you will see ads all over the internet telling you that you can make thousands overnight, you don’t need a website, you don’t need a product and the money will keep coming.
Well, if you’re going to take this train of thought, it’s evident that you’re not looking for a real, real online business, but rather you’re looking for a quick fix, get-rich-quick scheme.
I guess my question is why wouldn’t you spend the amount of monthly poultry it takes to have a hosting account, which will give you the tools to build your own website for free? I use a web host that only charges $19.95 per month and the benefits far outweigh the expense. It wasn’t necessary for me to use the tools on your website because of the package I already have, but your tools and templates are great.
If you don’t fully utilize the full power of the internet to gain the kind of visibility a thriving web business needs, you will lose revenue, and lots of it. The idea is not to survive, but to thrive in this thing we call an Internet business, and I’m going to get back on the right foundation bandwagon. Building your own website is part of the foundation of building a true online business and if you look at any of the top sellers they certainly have their own sites and some have 50 to 100 sites.
Having effective systems in place to attract visitors, provide information, sell products and services, and follow up, regardless of whether your market reach is local, regional, national, or international, a strong internet presence and website is the only way you can make the difference between success and failure for countless types of businesses.
Whatever you attempt to pursue online, you’ll want your customers to have somewhere to return to. Look at it from your buying habits and all the things you do in the buying cycle and just apply these thought processes when building your own website.
Most people today, when they consider how they are going to shop or what they are going to buy, they no longer pull out the phone book and look for anything, they go straight to the computer to dig it up first. So if there is no site, where do they go? To your competition that is where.
So in conclusion, don’t listen to those ads that tell you you can make thousands. No website needed, no product needed and go out and build your own website and build a real business that you can actually grow.
