Is it practical for me to have a website aside from the social media I am using for my business? Any idea how much it would cost me? I hope someone could help me. Thanks!

    If you are asking whether you can have your own website sure you can all you have to do is go to namecheap.com chose a domain name and then head over to Hostgator or JVzoo hosting and get a host there and then you can start the process of building your website.Hope that helps

    Generally, I'd say yes. Having a website is like having a house or an apartment. It's where people go to find you and what you are about. It's branding. However. it would know what kind of business you have. Do you do affiliate marketing? Do you want to make money blogging or want to promote stuff you've published on Kindle? If your answer is yes to any of this or anything close to it, get a site. A domain only cost about $13 USD per year. Web hosting (where the content for your site is stored) cost less than $10 USD per month. You should also be building a list with an e-mail auto responder. Aweber has a one-month trial for $1 USD. After the trial, it cost like $19 USD per month for up to 500 subscribers. After that, the price varies depending on how many subscribers you have. All of these costs are standard.

    If you care anything about your business, you'll get a website because there's no guarantee that these social networks will be around forever or still provide the same functions in the future.

    If you like, you can set up a "website" for free as a blog at BlogSpot.com, WordPress.com, or even Tumblr. There are probably more -- I just can't think of them right now.

    You can gain even more independence via inexpensive web hosting for as little as $12/month. Try Dynadot. I use them and love them.

    The cost of a website is pretty cheap so because of that, yes, you should have one.
    Domain name - about $10.00 per year
    Hosting - about $10.00 per month
    Wordpress software to build your site - free

    If you don't know how to create a site, you'll have to hire someone, but otherwise, that's it for cost.

    Yes. A business without a website is no longer a business nowadays. Businesses need website to showcase their services/products in a more presentable manner . Having your own website builds credibility, professionalism and enables you to expand your market aside from social media . Modern site development can also be linked to social media, more manageable and mobile friendly.

    There are many web design firms, like what I manage, that can help you. You just have to go for a reliable, creative and affordable web service provider.
