I have allot of experience cold calling, been doing it for 11 years and i have sold for millions of dollars but working for someone else.
I would like to build
d websites and also offering marketing, SEO or any other service relate to internet marketing.

I know i can make it apend but i i'm not sure if i can deliver quality.
is there an easy way to build websites fast and easy. Also i'm not a good programmer. But I'm good in marketing. All my sales came from my own marketing.

thanks .

  • Clickbump! That's the package I'd choose. Their installer is a one-click-setup kind of thing.
    Apart from that, your question is kind of broad
  • You might want to check the Warriors-for-hire section if you lack the knowledge or skill to do what you want. I'd seriously consider learning a LOT about how proper SEO works.

    You might see some stuff I did by searching G for "Holistic SEO FAQ", it will give you a place to start, and is by no means bleeding edge (i did this almost 2 yrs ago), and is not everything you need to know, but will lead to a basic understanding of SEO.

    Learn how to build a WP site, then get someone to clone it (WP Clone to do yourself). You'll find a lot of info on this forum. spend a week reading it before you try to sell something you are unfamiliar with.
  • You can put up a team of web designers and programmers. They can handle all the technical stuff while you handle the marketing.
  • It doesn't get much faster and easier than Wordpress not to mention the SEO love that Google will give you.

    1. Get hosting from Host gator - reseller account is good
    2. Learn how to install WP using fantastico - search Youtube for a simple video
    3. Learn the basics of WP - Changing themes, basic set up, optimization
    4. Outsource graphics if needed or google laughing bird software - i believe there is a free version if you "like" his Facebook page. This is a logo creator software for dummies, but you can create banners, headers, cool graphics with ease.

    Oh yes, I have been using Namecheap for domains for years now. They work fine.

    That's the foundation. Keep it super simple to start with while you are learning.

    Should be able to have your first site up and running in a day to start.

    • Someone must not understand how SEO works. Google does not love wordpress, wordpress sites do not have any advantage over any other sites. There are MANY wordpress sites that are not ranking anywhere and get slapped by google. Do not for a second fall into the fallacy and fairy tail of internet marketing that wordpress is the best solution.

  • Alot of marketers hate cold calling and obviously you have done it before. I would recommend partnering up with someone and you be in charge of the selling and you can start learning the ropes at the same time.
  • You can make the sales... is there any reason why you wouldn't want to outsource all this?

  • well, You need to hire a good wordpress developer to develop ur site & when the site is hosted than u need some SEO professional to Rank ur site in seach engine.
    If u r good in marketting it quite good for ur business but to offer quality u must hire a team for the services u r offering.
  • You know the funny thing, is that you are on the RIGHT track to me. You have already succeeded in sales. No matter what tool or method you use online you will most likely succeed. It's just tech and words, after all.

    You already know how to sell, and that's where most people fail. They don't ask basic question's about what people want.

    I always ask people "what is the basic rule of marketing?"
    they say "build a site and get clicks" or something like that.

    The definition of marketing, is really
    "find out what people want and give it to them."
    Sales is making people aware you are there.

    Anyway, I just wanted to give you some support. Find your way into it.
    Wordpress, Joomla, whatever. Target.

    The old Volkswagon tagline was "It's ugly, but it gets you there"

    I hope this post wasn't too windy :-)



    Lots of people get into this business hoping it's easy.

    The biggest thing people forget it that you have to sell to make money.
  • Hi Guys, thanks for all the responses. It give me something to think about it.
    Allot of you are saying to hire, I don't think its the right time, but will do when business becomes bigger.

    If I would hire, I will lose allot of my profit, I have seen the prices of the competition, and that would not be very profitable. I also do not want to depend on someone.
    I really have been trying to teach my self WP, but never really bought any theme, any recomendation ?
    Also thanks for the different opinion, I will definitely look into it.

    Jade: Thanks for the kind words.
  • Before you hire anyone or any service, I suggest you learn more about SEO first. Find a good source to learn more about it, read posts, get to know people who do it etc.

    This will definitely save you a lot of money.
