Starting a Web Business
Back to Teen Entrepreuners Page.
Starting a Web Business from scratch!
When I was faced with this question, I searched the web for an answer.
But, soon I was feeling overwhelmed with everything I didn't know and not knowing how or where to begin. I couldn't create a plan of what to do next, because this was all totally foreign to me!
Starting a web business on my own? - How does that work?
Yes, I could work out a little of what I needed in starting a web business - or so I thought:
- a web host ($$$ per month - depending on what you want in the 'package.')
- Domain Registration ($$)
- Tools to help you search, build, find a niche ...
- Information on how to write the website - learning HTML, codes, uploading pages, working with graphics, tables etc, etc,
- Marketing tools - to research
- Covering yourself against spam
- Learning about Search Engines - submitting your site
- Keeping your information secure and organized
- Having an overall plan
- Creating an E-zine or newsletter
- Creating forms
- Making your site into a RSS Feed
- Linking with others -
- Submitting to directories
- ......

Wow! I'm tired just writing it all down. And, when I started, I really didn't know that I needed to know what is written up above!
So, how did I envision I would go about starting a web business? Buy some books - read and re-read them. Search for hours for tools, help, support for my problems which would come and no doubt stump me.
At the same time as wanting to start my own web business and share my passion and interest in homeschooling, I also wanted to homeschool (!!) and continue to be a part of my family. How does a mum do it without missing out on still being a mum, wife and everything else?
Well, I did not go down the "library-books-research-hours upon hours" path! Knowing what I do now, after using Site Build It!, I am so very, very thankful that I did not try it on my own - finding a whole host of tools from here and there and trying to put it together. I know, that I would be lost if I did that!
Now, two years on with Site Build It!, my site is being seen by others (I have over 750 visits a day) and it is proving to be profitable. Even according to the Alexa Traffic Rating, I am scoring well and it is not because I've been so clever!!! I am amazed again and again at what SBI! has been able to do for me!
There's even a Work At Home Guide to help mums (or moms) out!
Please be my guest and download this free ebook or free education for work-at-home-mums! I'm sure you will really enjoy reading it. It will give you great insight into starting a web business.
Here are some statistics about SBI! sites:
* 35% of SBI! sites ranked in the top 1% of all sites (i.e., higher than 99% of all sites on the Web).
* 53% were in the top 2%
