Developing a Profitable Website

Have you been wondering about having a Website of your own?

If you have a business, and don't have a site, you're getting left behind.
21st Century advertising is NOT on paper.

There are a lot of other reasons, too...

• You have a cause that you're passionate about.
• You have a hobby that you'd like to tell other people about.
• You would like to make some extra income.
     Well, really, you'd like to make a LOT of money!

So you'd like to have a Website.. but the more you read about it, the more complicated it seems.
Yet, all these web hosting sites say how easy it is.
Having someone else make one for you can be expensive.

What to do?

As in all things business, the three factors to consider are:

1. TIME
2. Costs
3. Expected Return

Time

As always, the more time (and effort) you can contribute, the less money it will cost, but involvement doesn't stop at just the creation of the site. A good site takes on a life of it's own that must be updated, and maintained. That means a chunk of time regularly.
Expect this if you "Do It Yourself" or realize you must contract or delegate.

Costs

Costs cover a lot of items.
Software, Hosting, Registration are the basics, and not expensive.

Contracting for a professional is just like any other contracting. There's a whole range, depending a lot on experience and talent.
DIY with a Coach is affordable, and saves all the time of trial and error.
All of these expenses are spread over a long term.

ROI

The Return On Investment is not important if it's your hobby or cause, but if it's your business, it's VITAL... In today's economy, you need to have a presence online, and the more professional the better. People will judge the quality of your business by the quality of your website. To see what I mean, look at other sites for businesses similar to yours.

Levels of Service

Fortunately, you can:

• Hire the Professional to do it for you
• Do It Yourself
• or Contract for a Combination of Service and DIY

Website Coaching:

This is the happy medium.

You contract for time with a coach to eliminate most of the trial and error, thereby saving your  time for the other aspects of your business.

A coach can show you the choices you need to make when you need to make them, and save you money in the process.

A coach does NOT do it for you.
You still have to decide what you want to say, someone has to do the writing of the material, choosing images, etc.

Bottom Line

Will you make money?

The answer, as always: "It depends..."

It depends entirely on:

• How many other people are interested in what you have to say
• How clearly you say it
• How many people want your product
• The ads you choose to run with your content

You get the idea.. just like any other business.    Running a website IS a business.

After you've thought long and hard about it, give me a call and we can talk.
I can assure you, it will make a difference in your life. It certainly has in mine.
