Starting Out On Internet Business?
What advice can I give to those who are starting out?
Maybe that I am a technical guy — HTML, programming, Photoshop, graphics are all my expertise. And people come up to me saying that they don’t know how to build a website.
Yes - you can build a business on the Internet without a website - have been done and proven. But I knowing how to build a website is still an important skill.
On good news is — your website don’t have to be super cool with all the bells and whistle. Clean simple design would do best. I know because most of my sites (not this one) are UGLY. Well, maybe ugly is too much, but I can say that they won’t win any design awards.
So — One thing, you must learn how to build a website.
