Why You Really Should Get Your Own Website Now

In this high-tech day and age just about everyone should consider having a web presence. Most of us have at least one social media account, but that’s not really enough if you are hoping to make money online. If you are a business or enterprise of any kind and don’t yet have a website, then you really should get your own website now.

You really can’t afford not to have a website. Even the most basic of businesses can benefit by having their own unique piece of online real estate. It’s yet another way for customers and potential clientele to find you. And let’s face it, everybody searches online for things these days. I know I do. Everyone I know does. I haven’t looked in a phone book for years now. If I want to know anything at all I jump on my computer and search it.

  • I don’t know the phone number of a business I want to call, I search it online
  • I want to know if there is a mechanic in my local area, I search it online
  • I want to find a suitable hotel, I search it online
  • I need directions to get to a destination, I search it online

Are you seeing a pattern here? I’m just one of many multiple millions of people doing exactly that: Searching everything online.

 

A Potential Marketplace Of Over 3 Billion

That’s right. More than 3 billion people the world over use the internet these days and that figure is growing all the time.

Now, you might be thinking to yourself that your business is very localised and you have no need to access a global marketplace. That may be true, but it’s still in your best interests to have some sort of website, even if it’s only a couple of pages introducing your services and prices. Examples of this might be for a lawn mowing business. While you may not target outside your local area or have a lot of information to offer, it’s still worth it to have a simple website so people can both find you online and get your contact information.

On the other hand, if you haven’t already established a business, then having a market of over 3 billion people to sell or promote to can be a fantastic catalyst to start a business online. Think about it. What if you had a product (either your own or someone else’s) that you could promote globally via your own website. Imagine for a moment the potential there to make money; and all from the comfort of your own living room or wherever you choose to work.

 

Don’t Miss Out On More Customers

Even if your website only picks up a new customer here and there, it’s still worth having. If you operate a services businesses, then one new customer could equate to hundreds or thousands of extra dollars over a period of months. Even a new customer to an online store might not just be a one-off purchase. They may return for repeat business, or recommend your site to family and friends. Sharing website details is easy and just about everyone does it these days. A website is akin to a virtual business card. Don’t be left out in the cold. Get online.

 

Credibility With An Online Presence

Trust and credibility go a long way towards first attracting potential clients as well as keeping them. The modern world is a very informed society with 24 hour news, media and the internet. These days people will often justify or qualify a new product or business by doing some online research first.

Guess what? If someone has heard of your business – maybe they saw a sign on your vehicle or something – and they go online to search for your website, what do you believe they will think if they don’t find one for your business?

They will possibly think your business is dodgy or unprofessional. It’s just the way people view things these days. Everyone uses the internet so much in one form or another, if you don’t have an online presence for your business you just don’t look as legitimate as the next guy who does.

Create Your Own Website For Free

Now that we’ve established that having a website is a good idea, I’m going to recommend you to a place where you can create and host a website for FREE! Not only that, you will also have access to some free training that will guide you, step-by-step, through the process of setting up an optimised Word Press site.

If you want to take things a step further you can even learn how to create a website and monetise it as an affiliate marketer (promoting another company’s products for a commission). That’s entirely optional and there’s no obligation to get into affiliate marketing, but it’s well worth seriously considering if you are looking for a business to establish online.

Try typing a possible website name into the box below and take a look. It’s totally free with no obligation. In fact you can set up 2 free websites with hosting. That’s hard to beat.

  1. Hi Darren,

    Good post, especially for those who are unsure of whether they need a website. I couldn’t agree more that a website is online real estate.

    if you don;t have a website all the people searching for things online won’t ever find you. As we know in this day and age the people searching online is the majority.

    Great post and anyone reading this who is unsure as to whether they need a website should get one!

  2. I would love to get a little blog up and running on investment – more specifiically trading (it’s my passion!). The problem is that I don’t really know where to start – how do you find a free website and what about hosting – does that come with it? You’ve covered an option here that sounds interesting – would it be newbie friendly?

    • Hi Chris. You can actually host 2 websites for free with this free website builder software. It’s all pretty straightforward and there are even video lessons that guide you through the process, so very newbie-friendly.
