How I Built My Website (s)
If you're wondering where I got my websites from, wonder no more.
I built them myself!
Okay, I didn't do it all myself. I had a great deal of help from a great company and their great product.
Whether you are thinking about setting up a personal website for fun or a business website, my experience might help you out because I've done both.
The truth is that I had no prior experience in web design so I couldn't have possibly set up this site (or my other websites that I now run) myself.
There are so many so-called "web gurus" out there that claim to know so much about how to start up and run a successful website and they're quite happy to charge you money to provide you with that information!
I often think that the people who are making the most money on the Internet are those who charge people money to tell them how to make money on the Internet...
There are some great opportunities on the Internet if you are willing to learn, do the work, and give your visitors what they want ie. good quality content.
In my experience, building a good website starts with a good idea or topic that you know about.
Remember, people surf the Internet for information and to find things.
Currently, there are over 56 million websites on the Internet and mine is already one of the top 1% most visited websites in the world.
Want proof?
Take a look at the ranking of my first website as measured by Alexa which ranks the most visited websites on the Net:
Instead of trying to figure out which so-called web guru knew what they were talking about, instead of being sucked in by a "free hosting" website or "instant website," I decided to go with someone who knows what they're talking about based on the success of people who have already followed their lead and have already accomplished what I wanted to accomplish.
When I decided to set up my website, I decided to get some help from a great tool that:
- Helped me choose a topic that web surfers search for and want to learn more about
- Does all my coding and site building for me with simple point and click features
- Ensures that each page I build will be desirable in the eyes of search engines
- Helped me pick my URL name
- Hosts my site
- Helps me with ongoing support and guidance
- Offers me access to online forums where I exchange ideas with other site builders.
And much, much more.
One product helped me achieve this feat beginning in November 2005 when I started this website.
