As you may know. There are many options available to you for having your own website. In this article we will take a closer look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of the various options.
Design and build your own website.
If you have some experience in this area, great. If not, there are free website making tools available to make your own website for those of you who want to take on the challenge.
Or, you could pay someone to create a website for you. This however could be a very costly route to follow.
Thirdly and also the easiest option would be to make use of the many mass produced, free, paid or subscription based websites available. Let’s have a closer look at these options.
1. Free Websites
Thousands of these Free websites are available for you to choose from. Do a search “free website”, you will find pages and pages of results. Unfortunately, this is their main disadvantage. To earn some income, you will have to compete with all of them.
Now you may well ask. Why are they free?. Well, you become a subscriber on the list of the website creator (very often this is a condition). Then you receive tons of sales emails about products and services promising some or other “secret” to overnight riches. Say no more.
2. Paid Websites
Websites that you can purchase, are usually of a better quality and of a higher standard then the free sites.
The greater majority of these sites are one-page sites, which do offer some informative value to the visitor. The main disadvantage of this type of website is. There are just too many of them. Then there is the added opportunity to earn commission by selling these sites to other investors like you.
Consider this for a second. You buy the site. You then have to compete with all the other identical sites out there to attract customers to your site. Mostly it would have to be paid traffic. But you manage to sell a website or two. More competition! You do not have to be a rocket scientist to see that the only person who is winning in this deal is the creator of the website.
3. Subscription Based Website
The subscription based website offers you multi-steams of income. The biggest disadvantage is that will have to be a paid subscriber to all the programs behind these many streams. This can be very costly monthly investment, which could take months to show any return on your investment.
These Websites mostly share the same important disadvantage. In most cases, they are no more than a single page site with links leading to the products or services that are being marketed. Very often, containing no real informative value to the reader, other than the products on offer.
I am not saying that all subscription or paid sites are worthless. Don’t get me wrong. There are some that do offer very good value for money. But what I am saying. For your own protection. Investigate as many as you can. Here are some crucial questions that need to be satisfied:
a. Are subscriptions limited? If that is the case. Then you have less competition to contend with.
b. Can you modify or change all the aspects of the site? If so, you can break away from duplicate content.
c. And last but not least. Will you be able to add or remove products at will? If so. You can then take advantage of the best products available on the market. Which in turn could lead to a greater return on investment.
In this article I have covered only a few of the more important factors that you need to keep in mind when opting for you own Website. It is my sincere hope that going forward. You will be better armed when considering these options. And, that you will then be in a more favorable position to earn on the internet.
