Most beginners don’t get past the step of learning simple web design skills. Actually, this is not the hardest part of Internet marketing. In fact, it is quite easy compared to the skill and knowledge needed to drive traffic to your site.
Many beginners opt for a “canned” web building tool. Many of these are offered by hosting companies. One only needs to “fill in the blanks” of a template in order to create the page. Although tempting, I see these as only a waste of time and will simply delay the process of building true web building skills.
Using these kinds of “instant sites” do not offer enough control over the site. If your goal is simply to get a site up there, they are fine. However, a site without traffic is worthless. The only way to implement SEO features; you must have complete control of your site’s structure. You won’t have this control with these canned sites.
Additionally, successful Internet marketers use their web design skills a LOT! There are always “thank you” pages, squeeze pages, landing pages and other mini sites to create.
If you are really serious about Internet marketing, you must learn simple web design. If you are not willing to learn this skill, you really should look for something else to try besides Internet marketing.
My Product, Real WebSite Pro teaches the beginner how to create and publish a real website. It also includes videos on buying a domain, setting up hosting, and how to get the page ranking well in Google.
Decide for yourself you are going to do this! If you do, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying the rewards of Internet marketing!
