Twitter Nut Says Don’t Start a Website; I Say Don’t Listen to Nuts

If it weren’t for fools on Twitter talking out their you-know-whats about stuff they know nothing about, I don’t know where I’d get half my email ideas.

This morning, out of the blue, someone wrote: “Tell me, what makes you think a person can open a website and successfully build it without a very unique product? Your wrong!”

I was a sport and didn’t point out that “Your wrong” should have been “You’re wrong.”

What makes me think someone can successfully operate a website without a very unique product?

Gee, I don’t know: the entire Internet, maybe?

Over the course of my regular emails I’ve shown you how a business card blog site can improve your position within both your firm and your industry. No product needed.

I’ve shown you how affiliates use their websites to promote other people’s products — hence no need to worry about creating a product of their own. Once again, our Twitter critic completely misfires — almost as if she doesn’t even know what affiliate marketing is.

Regular blogging can also get you speaking invitations. Again, no product needed.

Starting a blog site can also teach you: (1) the discipline that comes from consistent output; (2) how to become a better writer; (3) how to summon the courage to express yourself.

Frankly, you’d be crazy not to do it.

What do you think is going to do you more long-run good, watching more TV, or driving yourself to produce content?

Now if you do decide to create your own product — a good idea but not strictly necessary — what will make it unique is that it comes from you. Build an audience of followers, and they’ll want what you produce because it’s you producing it.

That’s how eBooks and training courses get sold: this person’s insights have really helped me, so this is the person I’d like to learn from.

My free eBook 5 Paths to an Online Income goes into a lot of this.

This is a great weekend to start that site, since Bluehost is offering web hosting for a mere $2.65 per month. That’s insane.

In five minutes I’ll have you up and running.

The rest of your life begins with one click:
