This is the final section of my mini-report on the best way to get a proper business-oriented website up and running.
Now, let’s talk about what we Beach Bums consider to be THE perfect website solution.
As I mentioned in Part 1, it’s a simple fact of life that these days, whether your business is online or off, you simply must have a website to be taken seriously. And of course, if you’re going to have a website, it helps to have one that is built properly. Because otherwise, your website is little more than a billboard in the middle of nowhere. Which, based on the way many first-timer websites look is probably a good thing, but I digress...
In Part 2, I talked about the various ways to get that website up and running, and all the dangers inherent in not being the person in control. It’s your business. You need to be in control. Unfortunately, many naive businesspeople unknowing hand over control of their website to third parties who may or may not be trustworthy. It’s roughly akin to handing the keys of your car to a total stranger.
Trust issues aside, this kind of loss of control can be very costly or even fatal to your business. The best solution is to bring your website creation entirely “in house.” But failing that, you need to have a trustworthy, proven expert on your team.
Both sound easy, but in practice are much harder to achieve. Until now. Because the perfect solution is at hand, whether you want to do it yourself or have it done for you...
SOLUTION 1 DIY (The Professional Business Website -- DO IT YOURSELF)
If you have the time and the desire to become an expert on business website building, then this is the path for you. You’ll be following a very thorough and well-thought-out process that covers the creation of your website from A to Z. You’ll be taken from the most basic aspects of website creation all the way through to having a fully functional website that draws increasing amounts of interested visitors every month. The whole process can take from several months to a year.
Your site will be built exactly to your specifications, but following a proven, highly successful methodology. Imagine how good it will feel to be in complete control of your web business!
When you finish your site, you’ll know more than 99% of active web marketers and businesspeople in the world today when it comes to website creation, SEO (search engine optimization) and traffic generation (and all the things that go into making a website successful). In a way, you can consider this path nothing less than a Master’s Degree course in business website building and success.
Having been down this path myself, I can tell you that I learned more from this one “course” than from all the other “how to’s” and -- frankly -- half-assed “systems” out there online. And I’ve tried a lot of them.
The DIY path is the cheaper of the two, because you do most of the work yourself. It’s also fully guaranteed! The cost works out to what you would expect to pay a typical hosting company for a year’s worth of mid-level hosting (and yes, it includes hosting). So, for what you’d pay to just have your website online, you’re getting exactly the site you want, and learning an extremely valuable set of skills that will last you a life-time. Further you’ll truly understand the web and the technologies involved, which simply can’t hurt your business!
If you have the time and the desire, but not necessarily a lot of cash, then DIY is the path for you!
SOLUTION 2: TDI (The Complete Website Solution -- THEY DO IT For You)
For those of you who want to be up and running fast, and/or for those of you who have no interest in becoming webmasters yourselves, there’s the second path.
You’ll pay more for this solution (as I think anybody would expect), but the good news is the company has perfected this process. So instead of spending thousands and thousands of dollars with a website agency, the cost is extremely reasonable. Better still, the turnaround is fast. In most cases, you’ll have a finished, properly built and implemented website -- which becomes a traffic magnet over time -- in less than six weeks. Frequently, it takes far less time than that.
Instead of spending months becoming a web monkey yourself, your site will be in the hands of an expert whose job it is to work closely with you and see that your online business is a smashing success. You’ll be able to focus on running the business, knowing that a webmaster who is dedicated to your success is helping maintain and grow your web presence. And in fact, your dedicated webmaster has it in his or her interest to make sure you succeed, because part of your fee goes to him or her! I like to think of it as enlightened self-interest.
If you don’t have the time, but you need the results, then TDI is the path for you!
So you’re undoubtedly wondering if this all works. Well, all I can say is that the fact speak for themselves.
35% of the sites built using this company’s methods are in the top 1% of all websites, worldwide, based on organic traffic (which is the only measure that really matters)! 62% -- or nearly two thirds -- are in the top 3%! To say this is remarkable -- if not incredible -- is perhaps the understatement of all time. To my knowledge, no other “website building company” can even come close to these kind of stats.
Further, the methodology used (in both the DIY and TDI paths) is so successful, it is taught in over 30 universities. Nobody else can say that.
In my opinion, regardless of which path you choose, you simply can’t go wrong. Either way, you’ll have a site that is a solid foundation for your business for many years to come. Further, your site will come to be seen as an authority site on your subject matter -- if not, in fact, THE authority site. This puts it in the top of the Google listings and guarantees you a steady and ever-growing supply of free, targeted traffic.
But don’t just take my word for it. Do yourself the huge favor of checking out one or both of the above programs. Click a link. Watch the many testimonials. Ask as many questions as your heart desires...
