How to Make a Profitable and Successful Website
Building Your First Website
I was 17 when I built my first web site. It was for my favorite band at the time, The Corrs. Looking back to it, it was hideous, but it was mine, something I had accomplished. I'm now 25 and make a living as a full time webmaster. I earn 6 times more than most of the friends I graduated from university with. That first web site changed my life.
Nowadays, I often get emails from folks who ask me to help them make a website of their own. But the first question I ask them is "do you want to just put up a site or do you want to earn money from your site?"
You should see the replies I get. Of course they do! And some would reply back that they didn't even know it was possible for regular folks to generate income from a website. But not only is it possible, it is also very doable.
In fact, it's no harder to build a successful website than it is to put up a super fancy whiz bang site that just sits there and nobody visits. The difference is in how you go about doing it.
You see, these days anyone can build a web site. If you can email and surf the web, you can build a web site. But what I'm going to explain to you is what it takes to build a profitable and successful website... and the nice thing about it is it doesn't require any previous business experience, marketing knowledge, or technical skills.
Start With The Right Tools And A Proven Process
So how do you go about making your first successful web site even if you don't have a clue how to get started?
Well like most successful ventures in life, it all starts with a plan... and preferably a plan with a process that is easy to understand and implement. Even better if it's been proven to work by people with the same capabilities as yourself.
However, building a business on the web is like building a home. Even if you do have the blueprints for building the home, you still need the tools to make it happen. And not just any set of tools, you need the right tools. After all, hammering nails with a pipe wrench will only lead to frustration.
Unfortunately, that is how most people start out. They start without a proven plan and with the wrong tools and eventually give up out of frustration after countless hours and hundreds or even thousands of dollars spent wasted.
That doesn't have to happen to you...
Some time ago, I came across a company named Sitesell that has put together a complete blueprint for building a successful online business.
Sitesell and founder Ken Evoy have created a fascinating online business building product called Site Build It, which is designed around a proven process the company refers to as CTPM:
Their site building video tour explains it all and basically sums up in 30 minutes what took me literally years to learn through trial and error. There's also a 2 minute shortcut video but it's not nearly as detailed as the full video.
What makes SBI! special is it combines the CTPM process with a complete set of all inclusive tools that eliminate all of the technical barriers to building a website and allow you to focus on your business.
The best part is anyone can do this, from a teenager like Nori, a 15-year old who makes enough to support herself through college to Claude, a 64 year old "accidental" business man, who is having a blast building several income generating web sites.
They even provide real certified proof that SBI! works.
These people are serious about online business and helping you succeed.
The Biggest Mistake People Make Building Their First Website
Looking back on my experiences, I wasted too much time on the technical side of things and trying to make my site look "pretty". It took many false starts and several years before I finally figured out the winning formula. On top of that, I had to cobble together and struggle with learning all the different tools it took to get it done... many having incompatibilities with each other that only turned up after I had already taken the time to learn and implement them all.
And that was using the expensive tools... it gets worse if you go the "free" route.
Don't make the same mistakes I did when I first started.
You see, building an online business is just like building any other business. Building a real business is neither cheap nor quick and easy.
And there's definitely no such thing as "Get Rich Quick". If that's your interest, then something like SBI! is not for you. But if you're serious about creating a real online business, then SBI! will take away all the technical barriers that get in the way and put you on the road to success. All you have to do is follow the guide.
That's Why I Recommend an All-In-One Website Builder
If I had access to this kind of proven process and all-in-one tool from the start, it would have saved me many headaches, time, money, and effort.
Other all-in-one tools have popped up (and disappeared) over the years but so far Site Build It! is the only one that has a proven 10 year track record. They don't just "talk the talk". They provide certified proof, examples of hundreds of top 1% customer sites, and even detailed case studies that prove SBI! works.
I wouldn't trust any tool that couldn't provide that kind of extensive proof of success.
That along with a solid 100% moneyback guarantee means you can't go wrong with it.
And that's why I highly recommend Site Build It for building your first successful websiTE
