6 Reasons Why You Need A Website

If you don't have a website, then you might not realise all the great things they can do for you.  Maybe you think there wouldn't be any point, because your business is too small – or maybe you don't even have a business yet!  Perhaps you think it'd be a lot of work for little reward?  Or maybe you paid big bucks for a site back during the dot-com 'boom' days, only to get nothing but trouble out of it and shut it down a year later.

Whatever your situation is though, you need a website, and this is why:

1. People Will Look For You Online
Sooner or later, someone's going to type your name into a search engine.  What do you want them to find? Nothing?  These are people who want to find you, and if you don't have a website then you're letting them down – these days they expect you to be online.  For many people, you might as well not exist if you can't be found with a search engine. Not having a website is like not bothering to get listed in the phone book. Whether it's customers or old school friends you're hoping for, very few people are going to find you if you aren't online.

2. Websites Cost Next To Nothing
Once, it cost a lot to run a website – but those days are long gone. Hosting can cost as little as $5.95 a month!Providing you make sure that your hosting company also gives you a great "uptime" guarantee (uptime = available on the internet).  We use ShopSmartHosting and their guarantee is 99.9%!  Plus their support is great… very responsive if you ever need it.

If you don't want to pay for design, it's never been simpler to do it yourself, or find free software to do it for you. Or simply buy an inexpensive template package, like those here on Graphics Choice.

Really, it's never been cheaper to have a website than it is today.

3. Websites Are Great Advertising
Whatever you're advertising – your services, your products, or just yourself – a website is a great way to do it. Every other kind of advertising costs a premium, especially if you want to target a specific kind of person, and there's no guarantee that they're paying attention.  Websites are like brochures that are free to reproduce, interactive, and quickly distributed to people who are already looking for them. No advertising medium even comes close to the ease-of-use and effectiveness of a website.  Except if you're using a blog as your site.

4. A Website Is A Worldwide Presence
On the web, it doesn't matter whether someone is next door to you or on the other side of the world – they can see your website just the same as anyone else can, at no extra cost to you or to them. Phone and post both cost enormous amounts long-distance, but a website lets you send information anywhere without any extra effort or expense. 

If you've decided to make money online by becoming a reseller of MRR or PLR products (Master Resale Rights or the top of the range Private Label Rights), then you'll be selling digital products.  Products that a customer of yours on the other side of the world from you, can download within minutes of paying you for it.  There's a mixture of MRR & PLR products at The7DollarVault.com and high quality PLR at great prices at FastPLR.com

Having your own website, you can make friends, contacts and have customers in places you've never been and will never go – suddenly, working globally is no more effort than working locally!

5. Your Website Can Make You Money
There's a lot of money on the web, and it's not hard to get some – the longer you're online for, the bigger your share can get.  If you have something to sell, you can sell it worldwide, thanks to credit cards and online payment processors like PayPal.  In fact PayPal is the payment setup that most online marketers use.

Doing business online eliminates almost every overhead there is: all you need to do is have the goods. If you've written something useful, you can put it out there with a few ads.  You won't get rich overnight, but you can set up a steady trickle of income… and there's no limit to the number of trickles you can set up!

A word to the wise though… decide on what niche you're going to operate in… before you get started.  Do you already know a lot about something?  Is it your job, or your hobby?  Whatever you decide to do, don't make the mistake lots of new internet marketers do… put together a product and then find there's no-one that wants it!  You need to research your niche first, and NicheDynamite can help you do that.

6. Your Website Will Save You Time
Giving out information takes time, whether it's on the phone, or in brochures, or even if it's just emailing your family.  Websites are designed to save you time. All your family and friends can read your online diary (known as a blog), but you only had to write it once.  Separately, customers can see your whole product catalogue on your website, without ever needing to talk to you or visit you, as long as you've added every detail they could possibly ask about. This is the power of the web: things on it are written only once, but can be read or downloaded endlessly – a good website runs itself, and keeps being useful to people for much longer than you'd expect.
