Building Websites

Building Websites is a tiresome, tedious and often frustrating, especially if you are doing it. No wonder, it is widely outsourced because it can be done quickly and cheaply. If you are looking to outsource it, here are a few resources that you can take advantage of

1. Agentsofvalue.com
2. Elance.com
3. Craigslist (Advertise your requirements in Philippines or India).

However if you want to build your own website, the best website building software to use is Site Build it. Site Build it is very easy, user friendly and you do not need any HTML knowledge to start building your website.

The video below is a customer's testimonial. Lisa is a very credible source and she provides valuable tips and feedback on how to improve your business.


How to Build Effective Landing Pages

Building landing pages can be tricky, frustrating and time consuming. However having your own landing pages will give you the added advantage over other affiliate marketers.

1. You can (in fact, you should) start building a list by having an opt-in list. The best auto responder service to use is Aweber.

2. You can test and track your landing pages that will give you a much better control of your PPC campaigns like the traffic volume, the traffic time trends, keyword conversions etc. than directly linking to the merchant's landing page. Knowing this information is vital because you can identify the keyword winners from the keyword suckers. Perry Marshall reveals that often in PPC Campaigns, 20% of keywords bring in 80% of the business.

So what are some ways to quickly build great landing pages?

Landing Page Cash Machine comes highly recommended by Perry Marshall. This is a great guide that provides valuable insights on how to build effective landing pages.

LPGen is a highly recommended product though I have not personally used it. It is a landing page generating software that has good reviews in the market.

Speed PPC is probably the best tool.

Why?

You can also generate landing pages using free website builder tools. But remember these tools will not be as sophisticated and professional as the tools mentioned above.
