My Website Building Business

For less than the price of my cars road tax disc I have managed to start a website building business.With only basic computers experience and a lot of determination find out how-I've managed to launch my website building business

If you’ve you read any of my business experiences/adventures you’d know that I’m defiantly someone who has experienced and shared many genuine business opportunities with you.You won’t be surprised then to learn that my newest venture is a website building business-actually it's a lot more than the title suggest..

Follow Me Through My Website Building Experience

From conception to an-up-and running website building service-you’re going to be in a unique position to follow me through the whole experience-a bird’s eye view if you like. The other unique thing that I'm able to do differently from my other business is to give you an update regularly on my progress of what I'm doing and how my business is genuinely gong...up and downs included.

Anyway...

Just a Bit on How It all Started

Having little experience with computers except for sending the odd email and general surfing on the net I was very interested in starting a full time internet business, Apart from some basic experience with ebay most of my other ventures were mainly traditional bricks and mortar type businesses which required a lot of start up capital.So the chance to start a internet business from home, but minus the expensive overheads were both exciting and challenging for me.

After searching the net for an Internet based business opportunity I ended up on eBay and finally purchased my first Internet business for the huge sum of £9.99.It’s sounds funny I know, but it was so exciting and a great opportunity to own a fully loaded e-commerce mobile phone web site. (I’m giving away the same mobile phone biz here for free if your interested). The only other requirement (obstacle) to make this online phone website a success was to have your own web site to promote your ecommerce phone shop.In fact having this obstacle was one of the best thing to happen to me because it forced me to find out more about building and marketing a website, something which I knew nothing about.

At this point you really only have 2 obvious choices

1) Pay someone to build you a website or 2) Build the website yourself

Never being one for taking the easy road I choose to learn the process myself, and this is where my story begins.

Having No Experience or Knowledge Should Never Stop You.

Having no experience has never put me off trying any business idea (not been able to cook didn't stop me from starting a catering business) so I decided to educate myself by reading a couple of website building/web design books but quickly found the process slow, boring and time consuming. Not wanting to get caught up in anything technically demanding or time consuming I decided to search for a better and more efficient way to learn the web building process.

Finding the Best Teaching Tool

After researching numerous alternatives and approaches to self-website building I was very, very fortunate to stumbled upon a software learning package that was going to take a complete internet novice like me and teach me step by step the entire web building process. This very powerful process offers you hands on web building experience that not only guides you but allows you to build a real live on the net website one page at a time, which sounded like the perfect solution for me.

Slightly Apprehensive

Obviously this self build-site builder software seemed to be a very attractive option but as with anything “do your home work”. A little research goes a long way to finding out whether a product/service or indeed a business opportunity is for you.This reduces the chances of being scammed or simply wasting your time and money.After reading some very good reviews I decided to purchased the package taking advantage of their 30 day money back guarantee(incase it wasn't for me)- and then started the learning and building process.

Starting To Learn a Lifetime Skill From Home-One Day at a Time

The great advantage about this package is that it enabled me to learn comfortably from home and at a time that was suitable for me (p.c and an internet connection needed). It's a very thorough process which also includes

Interactive video tutorial on the whole process- if you prefer to learn through listening and watching then an excellent video tutorial is provided which is very easy to follow and understand.This turned out to be one of my favorite ways of learning, I'd make a cup of coffee, sit down and then watch one of the many tutorials which was a great way to learn.

The website builder which is used to build the actual web pages, just point and click for easy page creation.You can even watch the video tutorial at the same time to mimic what you see on the screen if your still not sure of how to do anything.

After spending some time reading, watching video tutorials and actually building my website I really began to see the value of learning bit by bit how to build a website.Certainly paying someone else to build your website is by far quicker but then you'll miss out on that important learning curve that will benefit not only your website but your busines.The skills, knowledge and practical experience that you'll learn is going to be priceless-and save you time and money in the longterm.

I have always found that if you're serious about building any business, net or otherwise you should have a good understanding of the area that you are planning to go into, this way you won't be dependant solely on other people and their advice.

Building My Website-Adding Pictures, Video and Content

The following months were spent learning and building my website, which was growing more and more each week. You feel a sense of real achievement as you learn how to add pictures, video and writing the content for your website which was the most difficult part for me. It's been a long time since I'd written anything constructive, my spelling and grammer needed some polishing up.Another vital skill that I was getting to grips with, was how to market my website on the net this is the process of getting visitors to your website which is an especially important task (something that people pay a lot of money to learn)

By now I had a very good understanding of the internet and more importantly how to build a website.

Where is The Website That I Built?

I’m getting to that part ...Actually your on it right now!

I decided to build a web site about my business experiences and share them with you (SBFR) small business family resources, in the hope that this may encourage you all to try a small business of your own.This web site is the fruit of many hours of hard work and persistence and it's through this building experience that I decided to start my website building business and build web sites for other small business people.

Educate Yourself With the Skills of the Future

Out of all the business opportunities and ideas, an internet business can provide anyone with many different ways to generate an income on line. (as long as you know what your doing and how to do it).With very low overheads, and a world wide audience to market too, the net can offer something for everyone.

Start by educating yourself now with the skills needed to take advantage of the web, whether you choose to learn through reading, attending a class or like me use a software package this should be an area that can provide you with endless possibilities

Finally-Have you Consider...

My Website Building Business Can Also be Your Website Building Business

Many people have asked me to provide details of the self building software package that was used to teach me the web building process. It’s a package that I still utilize today to build all my web sites because it offers me so many possibilities, and it's something that keeps me updated on a lot of web related things.It’s also a package that is taught in collages and universities all around the world-so if you can find a class near you, why not enlist and be taught in the class room as opposed to learning from home.All these detail and more info are provided on the next page.

Oh yeah and it' far less than the price of a tax disc, if you live in the U.K that is :)
