Website - Do You Need One?

Website that is!It’s an old debate now, but I wanna add my 5 sense worth!

It is possible to make money through promoting affiliate programs, but you can make buckets more promoting your own products!

Apart from being able to use your own website as a portal for a variety of affiliate programs, it’s also possible to promote your own products or services.

Another advantage of having your own website is that you can use your emailing list to continually drive traffic back to your site for repeat sales (back end sales) that’s were the real profits are.

In addition to that with your own site is you can tailor make it to suit specific niche markets and create your own professional and personal identity.

The only limit on what can be achieved with your own website is your imagination.An online shop can easily be added to a site that operates 24/7 making money even while you sleep.It can be used as a business card demonstrating your products and services.

I know there are many people out there that feel it isn’t necessary to own your own site, maybe that’s true but for a long term secure financial income I personally will stick to having my own site. Properly set up, a website can be your personal 24hr service staff, for free!It can greet customers, provide information, make bookings and take orders, give solutions to customer problems instantly, and much, much, more!

Do I need a website of my own?

A question I get asked often is – do I need a website of my own?
This is a GREAT question. When I started in web design business I asked
exactly the same. I had precisely ZERO knowledge of how to create a
website. The thought terrified me. I had the attitude "I can’t do that" (an
attitude incidentally that I had to change and so will you).

It would be so much easier – so I thought – to use a website that I could
get for free, and that was already set up for me. Particularly as there are
so many free websites available.

Let me be blunt here.

Your website is integral to the success of your business. YOUR website,
not somebody else’s. If you don’t spend at least a little time getting to
learn the basics (which is the point of these articles) you will be constantly nervous when working from home, as there will be a huge part of your business that you ‘don’t really understand.’ Clearly you cannot operate like this.

What happens when something goes wrong, or you want to make a very simple change to your site? Will you call up your technical person or your web buddy every time? Will you out-source all your web questions to someone else? Your website is the life blood of your business. Get used to it. If you really are serious about making money from home, you need to get over your web fear. You will accomplish that with this
