Building Your Own Website Can be Exciting and Enjoyable


From a Free Blog To Your Own Website: What Are The Odds of Success

Owning both a blog and a website would be my choice, I would not give up one for the other. Free blogs I have no faith in because the one I tried, there was little or no support.

The Blog that I finally decided on and stayed with is just like an informal website with all kinds of built in tools and an excellent tracking tool included for a whopping cost of $ 8.00 per month. It is one that the search engines like very much and so the traffic at my site is excellent. Try Squarespace.com

A blog should be the center of all your activities with links going to all your pages everywhere on the net and everything you have on the net should be linked to your blog.

Blogs are generally limited to the amount of content you can have in it. With squarespace you are allowed to expand if you need more space but the cost will increase accordingly

Choosing a website host is your most important decision for you and your business. A free website is not a good choice, it will probably be a disaster. I just started a new website with a company called SBI [Site Build It]. It has been a most pleasant experience.

I am building The website myself with their help and with the finest web tools available anywhere. The keyword research tool alone would cost about $350.00 and it comes as part of the package, Thats more than the cost of the total website package.

There should be no fear of building your own site with SBI because they take you by the hand and show you step by step how it's done. They explain in detail why and how things are done. By the time you have finished building your site you truly are a real webmaster.

SBI built websites are in the top 30% of all websites out there. Right now I have a total of Thirteen pages on my new site including my home page. Since the day it went online I have averaged nine hits per day and three click throughs which means I am selling something every day with only nine pages doing the work.

I know all this because of the tracking tools that are included in the website. I know which pages are working and what they are selling. At this rate, when I have two hundred and fifty pages online I will have a pretty good income from this website alone.

Building this website has been a real breath of fresh air. It has been a pleasant and enjoyable experience and already I am looking forward no building another new site. It is a learning process like no other I have experienced.

If you are still a little shy about doing things by yourself, I am available to give you all the help you need and answer all your questions. I am a professional marketing guide and my services are free of charge. I just like to help out.

To go from a free blog to your own website, what are the odds of success? My answer is, if you do it properly the deck is stacked in your favor. Specially if you get away from that free blog and get a real one. You can drive a lot of traffic to your website from a good blog and that is what you need to succeed.

You can be on the right track but if you don't move your gonna get run over. [Will Rogers].

Hi Grant,

I love that you've pointed out that a Website is something you can pass on to your loved ones. Done right it's a REAL business and you can't go wrong with SBI (Site Build It).

Also, your explination of how SquareSpace allows you to create an "informal" blogg that's like a website. I have long thought that a blog on SquareSpace combines the best of what both a traditional blog and a traditional website have to offer.

This is an excellent No Nonsence Hub and I hope folks see the incredible value you bring to the table as a business building mentor. Your clients are lucky to have such an insightful mentor.
