How to Build a Website
|
The fun part was the tool I used. It let me, a stay-at-home-mom, launch a site that gets thousands of visitors a month and generates some very nice spending money, without selling anything.
My goal was to make $10/day but I passed that milestone in under 4 months, just from the ads on my site. It's way past that now and keeps increasing.
Of course the payoff is nice but the real fun part is taking something you know about but never counted as valuable, and putting it to use. Good use!
People tell me,
"Oh that's great for you but I don't know the first thing about computers, much less how to build a website."
But see, that is the fun part: The tool is like a wizard, walking you through every step, so you don't need to "know about computers". There are no big manuals to pore over, no technical terms, no cryptic symbols. 
What is this tool? It's called Site Build It!. When I first heard about it, I read so many glowing reviews by super-excited people that I got suspicious and tried to find the catch. I looked for bad press, links to get-rich-quick scams, scandals around people associated with the tool...
...and came up empty-handed.
So finding nothing sinister, I bought it. It had a money-back guarantee so I figured I could scrap it if I got bored with it.
I didn't really know what to expect and assumed it would be tough to get started. But after I entered my credit card info and hit purchase, I got a friendly email from Ken with a link to where to get started.
I clicked the link and started reading, waiting for it to get complicated or difficult... but it never did. This Site Build It tool teaches you so much in such a light, fun way that you almost don't realize you're actually doing something useful. I got hooked and still am. I am constantly boring my friends and family with stories of how cool it is.
If you are a work-at-home-mom (WAHM) like me and have been wondering how to build a website or how you could do a little business on the side, on your own time, see the WAHM page. It really is something you can do in fits and spurts, while the kids watch Dora or have a snack. And really, no technical skills necessary.
But it's not just for moms, as many people will confirm. Read the case studies for more. They are interesting, inspiring tales of regular people who are now supporting their families with websites about things like hairstyles, juggling, and kids' birthday parties (see some samples).
If you think these people are fake (it crossed my mind), try emailing them. They're real. And usually very friendly. :)
The interesting thing to me about the tool is that it's not just a piece of page-building software; there are tons of those. What makes it unique is 2 main things:
- It helps you come up with the successful website idea. So you don't have to know what you want to write about before you start, you don't have to know how to build a website, you don't need to know about sales or marketing... honestly you don't really need to know much going in.
The key is to find something interesting to you. That's it. But that can be harder than it sounds, so Site Build It! guides you through the steps of examining what interests you, what you know well, and what will be worth your while to pursue. You'll find you are an expert in things you may not have even realized.
- It gets you an audience. Your knitting site may be excellent but without visitors, who will know? Site Build It analyzes each page for you and tells you specifically what to do to make the search engines recognize its brilliance :) Here's proof.
You can do this! The possibilities are endless!
