You've Got Your Guru, Now What? by Lavonda Thigpen
In my last article, "Follow That Guru", I told you about the one (1) simple technique I used when starting my home business, "A Name".
Now everyone wants to know what to do next. OK, here it goes.
You've found your guru, and you know what kind of home business you want to start. Your next step is to get a website.
Now, there is a lot involved in launching a website. That's not as easy as it sounds. Sure, it's not "rocket science" or anything like that, but it will take you a while to get it started.
When I got to this point, I had no idea that a professional website would cost so much. As I researched all the different web designing companies, the prices ranged between $899 and $1500 to get a website built.
I was on a VERY tight budget, and could not afford to spend that much money, so I decided to go BACK to the place where it all began--the forums.
First, do a search on Google for "Web Designer Forums". It will bring up a list of about 26,000,000 search results. The best ones are on the first 5-6 pages so take you time and go through each one checking to see if they have a place to post for "Help Wanted" or "Request Services" or something to that effect.
There are a lot of web designers that are looking for exposure and want to build up their portfolio. Most of which will design you a website for free in exchange for having their logo on your site. You just have to go about it the right way.
They will be doing you a big service for nothing. So offer them a little more than just having their logo on your site. Give them some free advertising by allowing them to put a banner on your home page, and/or offer them a percentage of the profits. Whatever the two of you agree on is up to you.
Or if you want to build your own site, and have a little extra money to spend, you can go to SiteSell and build one of the best "work at home" sites ever. You choose everything, the layout, the colors, the font, etc. If you can dream it, you can make it with SiteSell. Check it out. It's worth the time.
