I'm sure you've heard this famous quote ...
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Hi, my name is Nitin and welcome to ...
"How to craft your own website - no technical skills required"
Here's my promise to you...
if you stay with me through this course,
and take the time to do all the simple steps I show you...
I am 100% confident that you will not only end up with
a fully functional author website
where you can showcase all your books
but you will also be able to offer them for sale right on your web site.
There are many courses out there on building web sites
but most of these courses never explain the fundamentals like
domain, hosting, uploading files using FTP, how to monetize your web site.
The problem with this approach, when the instructor doesn't explain everything,
crucial steps are left out that leaves you scratching your head in confusion.
So at the end of the course - YES - you do have a web site,
but there are many missing pieces that the instructor just did not bother to
explain or show you because it's just too much work for him to do so.
So I'm going to take a totally different approach.
In this course, I am going assume nothing.
I'll start at the very beginning, from buying and registering your own domain name
to setting up a hosting account and building your complete author web site from scratch,
step by step leaving nothing out!
You'll see just how easy and fun it is to build your
very own web site that gives you 100% control of every aspect
of the look and feel of your site.
I have to pick a topic, so I have based it on building a web site for book authors.
but the techniques and principles I teach you can apply to building ANY website!
Once you know the secrets, you wont need to outsource your site
to a web designer that may charge
$100s or even $1000s of dollars.
Here's another truth...
You really don't need a fancy web site, in fact
the simpler and clean looking your site is
the more it will appeal to your visitors ...
and they'll stay on your site longer.
So are you ready?
Of course you are!!
