We have all seen them. Beautifully created websites with bells and whistles, all shiny and bright they shout glamour. As a newbie, a novice, to Internet marketing you shrink at the prospect of your feeble attempt to create a professional looking website against all the competition. I know. I have been there. Fear not!
The most important part of web development but the least emphasized is marketing! Words! Let’s not forget content. You may have the best-looking website on the block, but if your content is ineffective, there are no customers. Not getting customers you soon get discouraged and its over. You are finished. You give up.
Building your first website is easy with today’s free easy website building tools. Blogger.com, WordPress.com, and WordPress.org are just three of the more popular website building tools available to create your website. Within a few hours, a newbie can have a respectable looking website up and running.
For the novice, web design and web development are synonymous. Web design leans more toward the presentation of the website. While web development leans more to the functionality of the website. Some may argue with those definitions.
Too often, the novice pays too much attention to the presentation of his website and not enough to its functionality. You certainly want your website to be pleasant to the eye of the visitor.
Content is just as important as the presentation. As a beginner, you often overlook this part of the equation. I have seen some very basic looking webpages/websites with very compelling words. Words that make me want to go pull out my credit card right now.
Never mind that they look like a child’s coloring book full of colors and different sizes of print. They work or they wouldn’t be out there. This is not to say that you do not want to have a nice looking website. Yes, you do.
Beware of the “this is my baby” mentality and forget the main purpose of your webpage/website – SALES. Pay as much attention to the word content of your website or webpage as you do to the visual presentation.
A good coaching program can guide you and teach you not only how to install the software, but also what to do with it once you have it installed.
More importantly, it can teach you how to make money with your new site using the right content.

I always use wordpress as a subdomain of my main website, but I’m entering a new niche this month, and the site will be built in wordpress.
The main reason is that it’s easier to outsource the content posting.
