Website building is crucial to the success of your online business.
So it is very simple. Either learn to create good websites by yourself, or contract out the work, buy pre built sites or use the free website places or blogs. You are able to go the route of only using your affiliate sales pages. Remember that if you couple this with a good auto responder campaign then you could do without a website. In all cases there are advantages and disadvantages.
I cannot stress enough as to the importance of setting out a long term plan for your online business enough. If you had a long term plan, then which option of website acquisition you take would be self explanatory. There would be no doubt. I personally feel that there is no other way than to know how to do it yourself. And my reasons for this are very simple. If you do the websites yourself you are in control of your own details, good and bad. You are able to make changes to your products easily and quickly.
Build your own.
There are many fantastic website building programs out there. I encourage you to do some homework into which type you would in the long run, before you get started. An example is that if you plan to do one- off websites or mini sites. And then you plan to push out hundreds of these, it will require a specific type of website. However if you are planning a large Adsense website that is continually growing and in a state if change, then different rules apply.
Website programs like Dreamweaver are more advanced and professional, and if you are able to learn how to use these then it is first prize. From there you would be able to graduate to bigger things like flash website building. However there are many wysiwyg type website builders like Kompozer, which are very popular.
Contract out the work.
This speaks for itself. Again this many shared hosting sites offer their own site builder. Do your research. However this would depend on your strategies. There are many big internet gurus that never build their own sites.
Buy pre built sites.
The PPC type marketing system has spawned a huge supply of instant type websites out there. The general idea is that you would fill it with affiliate products, market it, and then leave it out there and move on. Other pre built options allow you to start up and build onto a website platform like word press and these are great, especially for the beginner. Some of these are for free.
Free website places.
By these I mean the shared web hosting sites. The option is great as you could be up and running in a short space of time. My nervousness towards them stems from my lack of control. But please do not let me scare you away, go and see for yourself.
Blogs.
Blogs and blogging are great. Almost all are free. Almost all are very easy for anyone to get started. You can have as many as you like. There are a very large variety of templates out there so you needn’t feel bored. The only drawback is you do not have your own www. Address. Another drawback is that is a competitor wishes they could have your blog removed. So, for full control, in my humble opinion, do it the hard way, and do it right.
As a final note I have in my possession a very well written step by step guide on how to start up and publish a full website in one day. It gives you details and small baby steps to get the job done. All done by a far better teacher than myself.
