My name is Lisa Irby and I am the owner of 2 Create a Website and author of the book, Niche Website Success.
There’s nothing better than getting paid to do what you enjoy, and fortunately I’ve found a way to turn online teaching into a full-time income thanks to affiliate marketing, Google AdSense and sales of my own products.
I absolutely love sharing what I learn along the way and I want you to benefit from those lessons too.
So if you want to keep in touch and have my blog posts delivered to your email, subscribe using the form below.
Who’s That Girl?
In January 1998, I was studying Business/HR at Truman State University in a small, college-town in Kirksville, Missouri.
I was one of those students who was just focused on graduating and getting that diploma.
I had no idea what I wanted to do in the real world, but I did know that I loved computers and being on the Internet.
Little did I know, I was about to embark on a journey that would lead me to my calling…
Teaching.
I remember spending my evenings in the university library teaching myself HTML when I probably should have been studying for exams.
Before I knew it, I was making money by building one-page websites (yes, one-page) and monetizing them with Amazon books and any other products I could find that had affiliate programs attached.
I racked in about $6,000 in nine months. Not bad for a broke college student, eh?
Going Forward
For the next few years, I continued building mini-sites/doorway pages that promoted various products for affiliate commissions.
Search engine optimization was a breeze compared to what it is today, so I was able to rank for some pretty competitive phrases in a matter of days. Believe it or not, I ranked #1 for “home employment” for a short while.
(Ahhhh, those were the days!)
Of course, that party ended pretty quickly, and I concluded that system was not going to provide me with any kind of stable, long-term income.
My Strategy Changes
By 2002, I had grown tired of my temporary income solutions. If I was ever going to quit my 9 to 5 job, I needed to build something with staying power.
I had been following Ken Evoy religiously for the past three years, and was encouraged to build a more complete site that taught what I know.
That’s when 2 Create a Website was born and within two years this site matched my 9 to 5 income. By the 4th year, my Internet income was four times my 9 to 5 largely thanks to affiliate marketing and AdSense.
So I packed up my cubicle and began my journey to the land of self employment.
It’s still amazing to me how a very simple site grew into something that has allowed me to work for myself since 2006. So here I am sharing my advice with the world.
What You Can Expect From Me
On this blog you’ll find a selection of articles related to creating, promoting and monetizing blogs and websites.
You can keep up with my advice here by subscribing to my RSS feed or following me on Twitter.
I can also be found chatting it up on YouTube, Facebook, Google Plus or administering my forum, WebsiteBabble.com.
In other words, I’m pretty much everywhere! 
What’s New?
In January 2012, I launched an eBook called Niche Website Success. This is my first practical guide to creating and promoting a successful niche website.
Teaching is what I love to do, and this book takes everything I’ve written on my websites and packaged it all up into a format that makes it easy for you to reference and learn.
There’s also a lot of tips and strategies in the book that I don’t include on my websites, so if you’re interested in making money like me, this is something you’ll want to check out. Learn more about my book and check out the table of contents here.

Hi Lisa,

Continue to do what works for you!
Johnny
Lisa, Wow. I gotta say you are on top of your game and far beyond my knowledge but you have a great thing goin’! Thanks for all your info as I will keep in touch.

Hey Lisa, stumbled upon your site by accident and I am glad I did. First, its a pleasure to see a face that looks like me, providing technical information, I don’t see many, what a joy . Second, I TOO have totally given up on traditional employment and I am struggling to make a full time living online, what’s your secret? I have another website taylormadebooks.biz (please check it out)that I am looking for FREE ways to promote specially the My Baby Book, any suggestions. Third, I just started a blog “Fake It Until You Make It” using technology to propel your small business to the next level, this year to provide women owned small business with tips on using technology. I see so many women making mistakes or working harder not smarter because they are afraid of technology. Again, please check it out and let me know what you think. I would love to keep in touch so please drop me a line or two. Thanks!
Hello Tonya,
I couldn’t help not answering your question? You say you were looking for some free ways to promote online?
Have you consider article leveraging?
Hey Lisa…I used stumbled across your page and I love…I got 2 questions for you…#1 Will you marry me? jk but #2 is I need a mentor…can you either mentor me or put me in the contact of someone that will and can…thanks in advance
LOL, Ryan. I’ll have to think about that first question and as for your 2nd, I just don’t have the time to do one-on-one mentoring but you can learn a lot from the friendly folks over at http://www.websitebabble.com (my forum). Feel free to ask questions anytime.
Hey Lisa, just wanted to thank you for your VERY informative and VERY USER FRIENDLY website. I may be started a website soon, and it’s very appreciated. So often people have knowledge but aren’t able to communicate it well but you really are good at it. Thanks a lot; you’ve earned permanent bookmark status!…E

I’m sure your busy, but it sure would help me to get a professional opinion.
Thanks,
TJ
Hi Lisa,
I came across your website (2 create a website)only last Friday evening.Reading your website and now your blog makes me feel you’re talking to me right here in my office. Your website content gives a lot of information. And you inspire me a lot! I am a newbie in the area of blogging for an income so I don’t expect so much yet. I have one question to ask you: I became a member of Google AdSense only last week and my Google record reports that I have more than 200 impressions and zero income. Could I learn from you what this really means? I am reading every entry in your blog to educate myself in blogging as an income-generating activity. I hope you will have time to reply to my question. Thank you so much for all the energy you put into your blog.
Hi Francia,
Checked your site and part of the issue may be your placement and design of the ads. First of all your ads look like ads and that’s part of the issue. You want them to blend in with your text and layout so they look like additional info.
Try using the same background as you do with your blog and make the links the same color as your blog links. Check my site http://www.flat-stomach-exercises.com This site has a click thru ratio of about 5-7% on most days.
I think if you work on blending more that will help.
You are very generous with your feedback, Lisa. You even went out of your way to send me an email should I miss your response to my question here in your blog. Thank you so much. I’ll remake my blog as soon as I get time away from work.
After reading your story about Site Build It and after I’ve watched SBI’s video I think I will let Site Build It do my website as soon as I get a credit card. I am one of the stubborn folks who didn’t believe I should have a credit card. Now, that’s history. I’m opening a credit card account. More success to you, Lisa…France
Hi Lisa. I’m an SBI owner (still working on getting my first site up). I also have a Bath/Body care site, but have learned that I went about it all wrong. Like you I found SBI through an MLM (which I’m debating on sticking with – good product, extensive financial commitment). I admit I’m scared as everything. I have no idea what I’m doing, but I believe I can make this work and want to. I have that “faith of a mustard seed” and your site is inspiring me to take the plunge. I’m going to do as you said – take the journey and enjoy it (or at least try). Be blessed and prosperous in all you do and you will be granted favor for blessing others as you continue to do – Matthew 25:14-29 & Philippians 4:13.
Hi Lisa,
I’m just getting started & I am so glad I found your site and Blog. I’ve been on it for hours.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Proverbs 11:25
After reading an article about how a blog can help a website, I Googled the term “add a blog to your website” and found your site.
I especially enjoyed, and found useful, the idea to place a blog on a subdomain. I wouldn’t have thought of that idea had I not read your article addressing that issue.
As a new webmaster (started researching in Dec 2007 and launched my website Jan 2008), I have a long road ahead.
So many of the things I was reluctant to do (which I finally succumbed to), you addressed. I didn’t want to learn Dreamweaver. I eventually learned it. I didn’t want to learn Photoshop. I eventually viewed a couple of CBT’s and know enough to be dangerous. I didn’t want to add a blog to my site. I eventually did that yesterday.
I plan to visit your site often.
You are a excellent contributor to this arena. Also, you are very cute.
Take care, and keep up the marvelous work.
Giver is the one who receives.It is amazing how you have revealed all your experience in “Free HTML Tutorials”.Therefore, this Sri Lankan admirer wish you “Long life, Good health, Prosperity and Success in all your endeavors to succeed”.
Hi lisa, just wanted to say thanks for the awesome website. I just started making a few dollars online this year, actually I just started building websites a year ago. Do you have a course that you designed that could help me with internet marketing?
Thanks Jordy,
I don’t have any courses but I do have a traffic section that talks about various ways I build traffic to my site.

Lisa,
I’ve been online for over ten years myself, and I have to tell you that you have put together one of the best sites for teaching people to make money online that I have seen. You provide a wealth of truly useful information for those new to online business as well as those of us that have been in the business for years.
It’s great to see someone work so hard to provide honest advice that’s both helpful and inspirational.
Wow, Gary. What a great compliment. Thank you. I am truly humbled.
It is so rare to find honest content about making money online that I thought dropping you a line for encouragement. Good job!
I had already done most of what you described. I just got so busy with work and the kids that I left it on the side but now I decided to work at it once again… cheers and have a geat day!

Hi Lisa,
I wanna be like you when I grow up! Well, actually I am grown, married, with children. I just wanted to let you know that I admire your sites and I will become a regular reader from now on.
I have been blogging for business for about 3 months and about three weeks ago started looking into ways to make money from my blog. I hope that I am heading in the right direction! My husband works two jobs and I would love to tell him, ” Honey! Guess what? I work from home and you can quit your night job!” That is not only my dream but it is also my goal. I am on this computer until 2 am daily, trying to get legit advice and counsel. I think that I have found the right place. Be Blessed!*****TOYA****
Hi Lisa,
I am brazilian.I visited your site first time.
You are a excellent contributor to the internet

Hi lisa

thanks
Brent
Yes, it’s only $299 for one site. And trust me, with all the tools, help and software you get, you’ll understand why it’s per site.
The only comment that had any merit was the one by GARY
(3/23/08 @6.25pm). The others may be good for you from a business point of view (i.e., morons attract morons), but fail to carry much weight for those with brains. Sorry if this sounds elitist which is not my intention. Although your just trying to make a living, you seem at least to be providing useful information in the process and that is commendable. Your writing is good except for an occasional grammatical error and I’m hoping that you’ll even be able to help a computer illiterate like me.
Hello Lisa,
I am a black man 58 years old I am the proud father of four daughters & three sons. One of my daughters sent me this link with the utube video. she was very impressed with you but I can assure you, not as much as her father was. anyway I am very new with trying to post ads etc… I know you have to be very busy, but I would give my right arm (and i’m right handed) to have the opportunity to ask you a couple of questions. On the video you seem so down to earth, could you email me a # that I could reach you at, or call me, Emerson Jordan [number removed for privacy], your parents must be very proud of you. thanks, God bless & I pray that you call me or email me a number where I can reach you.
great site love it great videos best reguards on your future in the net bisness
Hi Lisa
I’ve been bouncing back and forth to your web-site 2 create
a we… for quite some time. I have really enjoyed your information. I appreaciate it ! THANK YOU ! I have a question. I want to start a sevice site and I want to remain anonymous. How can I do that ? How would I create my “About Us” Page ??
Hi Aaron,
If you want to remain anonymous why would you create an About Us page? Seems to me you would leave that page out if you don’t want people to know who you are. Although I hope you have a good reason for wanting to remain anonymous. A big part of having success online is building credibility with your audience. That’s a bit more difficult if you plan to be anonymous.
Hi Lisa,
First, I want to congratulate you for your site and thank you for being an inspiration to others.
I just recently registered my business and I have just signed-up with tripod/lycos web hosting service. I’m still in the introductory period, but will continue to read your blog and website to see if I will be better off with the ones you recommend.
My website is not published yet since I’m still in the research and planning part of it. I do have a clear idea on what I would like to accomplish and will continue to learn from your site. My website is promaxter.com. If you would like your content translated to Spanish, please email me at [email protected].
Take care,
Marilyn
Hi Lisa,
I’m new the web industry and I’ll have a website up this Saturday, if all goes well with the graphic designer. I jumped the gun with my site. The idea came through during meditation, I called a designer the next day, and had the site built. Now I think I’ve done too much for a first website. It’s a video based site with forums, profiles, a directory, and users will be able to share their experiences by uploading their videos as well. My dilemma: I was going to add news articles as well, but I’m thinking maybe blogs would be wiser. If I do add articles, I would gather information through other sites and reword them so as not to plagiarize. To give credit, is a link to the original site sufficient? If I blogged, how would I gather information? Where did you get information for your sites?
Thank you so much!
Lailah,
I create all my information based on my own experiences with web development. That’s why I encourage people to choose topics where they can use their own creativity and come up with unique content.
Getting info from other sites and re-wording it sounds like a lot of work and I worry that you’ll get burned out. What makes this so fun is that I love the topics I choose so building content is not a chore. I don’t have to go to other sites for articles. It’s all in my head. Sure, I get inspired and ideas from other sites but I write my articles from scratch.
Sounds to me like if you have to go look for information on other sites you might want to choose a different topic.
Thanks Lisa!
My website is comprised of video interviews with various practitioners. I know enough of about the subject, but I wasn’t sure about what to do with the text.
My competitors have news style websites with articles and print interviews. Some of them have paper magazines as well as a website.
I figured I would also include news articles pertaining to the topic, but I’m now leaning more towards blogging although I’d like a mix of both. Perhaps my interviews will be on video while the articles/blogs come from my head.
The difference with my site is that most of my content will be on video and I’m including more interactive aspects to my site. I’m just a little bit stuck on the print aspect. Maybe I’ll meditate on it again. That’s how I got the idea for this website in the first place!
I have a .mac account, I saw your video on youtube and recommended to use Ad Sense to make a revenue, I’m getting lots of clicks on my .mac site so Im thinking about moving in to .com instead of the one provided by Apple, any thoughts? I don’t want to lose all my content already on my site in .mac account.
hey lisa, thanks for all of the inspiring tips. i just turned 13 and i am creating a blog called thespot4you.blogspot.com and its almost done but could you check it out and give some feedback on what i need to do to make it better.Thanks!
hey lisa thanks for all of the insriation and support. i just turned 13 and i am trying to become an internet entrepenuer and i now have a boog . its called thespot4you.blogspot.com.please take a look at it and give me some tips on what i need to work on. Thanks so much your P.S. your sites are reaL amazing, its easy to see how much hark work you put in to this. thank you
Hello, how we know our adsence gets some money , because i my adsence show earning today is 0.00 , please advice me if u are
free but i know you are busy .
Hi Daud,
Making money with AdSense requires you to build traffic. It’s not something you do overnight. Go to http://www.searchenginewatch.com and read about SEO so you can get ranked well in Google, Yahoo, etc. You have to learn how to partner with other sites, comment on blogs, work social networking sites like digg.com, etc. Getting traffic is the only way to make AdSense work and it takes time.
I would like to congratulate the author of this wonderful website for being an inspiration and teacher for all those people looking to gain knowledge on web and the related technologies.
Your articles or building the forum and rss feeds have been really useful to me. I am going to do it soon.
Just wanted to say that I’m really excited to be at your website. I’ve been reading these articles for a little while now and I’ve built up the confidence to get into web design. (http://www.indianhindunames.com)
There is a lot of useful information on this site without the clutter you usually get online. On top of that, I’ve seen the majority of the people on the forum are helpful.
Lisa,
i think you are doing a great Job , words cant express the gratitude i am extending to you, U see i have thot about trying various internet money spins ie forex , writing amd their like. They just did not offer the kind of opportuity Ads give . i wish i got on this programe a lot earlier , well at least i found out, which is quite consoling.Thanks to your easy and friendly website.
I must say that adsense sure makes so much money sense! (u will pay me for using that line -lol). U are making a fine man out of me.
regards
tito
Hi Lisa
Often read your blogs and get your mail, another brilliant way to do vidoe type stuff on a site is Adobe Captivate, I use it a lot and it’s very very good indeed,
Keep up the good work!
Andy
Lisa,
You have good collection of information and its great to land your blog
Thanks,
Jag
I am new to blogging. I am starting to write a word-press blog for my site. Do I submit it like an normal URL to a search engine? What is pinging all about?
Mark, if you start promoting your blog and getting links on other sites then the engines will eventually find you. You can submit using those “Add URL” forms but it’s not really necessary. Pinging is simply to notify a service or website that your blog has been updated. For example, if you use technorati they regularly ping your blog for updates.
Lisa, I love this site, and have just realized it’s word press. Was there any preference in using this format rather than using an SBI site with C2.0 for your visitors to leave comments?
Please continue to keep up the marvelous job! Thank you for such engaging information!
Sincerely,
MJ
Hi MJ
2createawebsite.com is not hosted with SBI!. I created this site before I discovered the wonders of Site Build It!.
Hi Lisa, that is right, I did read that on this site or your forum before. If this was ‘now’ would you still utilize this format, or do you think that C2 would do the trick?
Lisa this is a great site, and I recommend as many people as I can to here. My profession is SEM, but when they want to build their own sites, I send them here to 2CreateAWebsite.
GREAT JOB, FABULOUS suggestions for all, and done with care and the utmost respect and friendliness.
Thank you for the inspiration and confidence you instill in others.
With peace and sincerity,
MJ
Thanks so much MJ, I appreciate it. I still recommend SBI! for beginners and those struggling with the overall concept of how to make money but I will probably stick to regular hosting until they come up with a way to handle normal hosting features like MySQL, PHP, etc. You still don’t get the control you get with a regular host.
You are giving a lot of information that’s very helpful.
I will try to put all deep inside my brain. You seem to have good spirit. I am trying to build my wife a website for her art works. She is very talented in her craft, as you’re on yours. It would be very beneficial for her for you to help her. She is a very giving person and we both like to help people. Contact us because we want this site to make a great impact and make a difference to our society for the better. If you like nice looking Jazz,flower paintings she paints them with true passion. She have the talents that surpass or compete with all artist. We can really use your help. My wife’s name is Shelia, this e-mail is also part of her name. Thank You so much for the excellent job you’re doing. God bless you and more, Domingo
Hi Lisa, I do thank you so much for your responses back to me (and the others! I learn a lot from their posts and your responses as well.)
I do love SBI and same as you, I can never stop having such wonderful things to say about this amazing company. I’d stand from roof-tops and tell anyone below who listens; without the slighest embarrassment whatsoever!
I am an SEO/SEMer by trade, and often recommend SBI to not only my clients, but I REQUIRE that their own graphic designers read the Action Guide inside and out or I will not sign a contract with them. (Meaning IF they purchase SBI. If they stick to their own web hosting, I then require that they&designer implement at least 90% of my suggestions (coming mainly from SBI and my own private methods), or same result – I will not sign the contract.
I find that MANY web designers jaws drop after they check out SBI for their (and my) client’s sake. So beginners and ‘experts’ alike learn so much from what SBI overdelivers. SBI also taught ME to overdeliver, which makes for very happy clients indeed.
I say all this, lol, to basically mean that I AGREE with you!
However, as you also mention – some features (rarely related to the actual ‘money-making’) are lacking, which requires myself AND many othe clients to go looking elsewhere for certain programming features.
I’ve currently 17 sites – 9 of them SBI! sites. For the others (non-SBI! stes), I’ve been using Bluehost, mostly because it’s compatible with SBI as a smooth/seamless add-on.
Lisa, gosh, if not too personal a question – does the hosting company that you own do all of the other things you have mentioned (PHP, MySQL, etc)? Do you think it would work ok as an add-on for SBI’s Infinit! Module(s)?
As I often send newbies over here to your awesome 2createasite site and ‘babble’ forum; I’d love to try your reseller hosting also, and would be happy to recommend it to my visitors, clients, friends, etc.
I would of course keep the others with the hosts they are currently with/at, but I’d love another 1 or 2 other top hosts, as not to place all eggs into one hosting-basket.
Also, I do know and understand that time is indeed scarce, so if you can only answer “Yes my host can do this, MJ! Here is the link:” that would be MOST APPRECIATED!
In any case, thank you so much for reading Lisa.
Look forward to more at your forums.
With peace and sincerity,
MJ
Hi MJ,
Thanks for the referrals.
Yes, the company I resell for does have the standard MYSQL features so that’s why I also recommend that option on my site. Just keep in mind you can’t combine those features with the SBI! InfinIt! module. Your customers either need to choose SBI! or the regular hosting at websitepalace.com. You can sign up to resell hostnig at http://www.ultimatedomainresellers.com
Hi Lisa you have a wonderfull blogs here and a lot of usefull articles and tips to reads , i will subscribes to your newsletter. Thanks
Hi Lisa,
I have become a HUGE FAN of your blog overnight
Your post on ‘awful blogging’ SHOCKED me..I straight away went to my blog and tore apart every post..and that resulted in removing exactly 34 posts. When I looked at those 34 posts again, they simply appeared JUNK to me..
I could easily relate now why some of the posts are getting comments again and again and why some of them, that I removed, were not even clicked.
You saved me big time when I am just one month old in the blogging..
To thank you, I have posted a permanent link to your blog on my blogroll
Thanks,
Deep
Hi Lisa!
Thank you so very much for all of your responses. I KNOW you are a very busy woman! I’m interested very much in your reseller program.
Can you tell me why you chose to have your very own web hosting to re-sell as opposed to recommending visitors to a web hosting site that pays out large comissions per sign up?
Some web hosting affiliate programs even pay you comission every time your referral renews their hosting for the new year.
What are the benefits to having your very own hosting re-seller program? Lisa, if this question is answered on your forums (or any other place on your site(s), please ‘simply’ point me there!
Appreciate your time very very much, Lisa!
Keep rockin’!
With awe and respect,
MJ
Hi again, Lisa!

Thank you for letting me/us know about these features not being compatible with SBI!’s Infinite! module.
If you have an extra few minutes – can you please tell the difference between websitepalace.com vs ultimatedomainresellers.com
Hi Lisa and Readers!
Hope you all are not tired of hearing from me. I will head to Web Babble forums after this.
I’m SO ready to sign up for reselling web hosting!
However, now you’ve got me thinking about the compatibility with The Infin It! modules. . . Would you still suggest using/becoming a reseller that has hosting (mysql, etc) compatible with SBI! ??
I would have signed up with websitepalace/ultimatedomainresellers out of appreciation and trust in your reccommendations.
What’s most important, is that my clients can use an additional hosting to go with I.I.! module, should they use SBI! as their main website (and website hosting).
Lisa, with your re-selling host, do they take care of customer support.
Ok, again, THANK YOU!
Sincerely,
MJ – Total Lisa Fan
Hi MJ,
Wow, which question should I answer first? LOL First of all, websitepalace is my re-branded reseller store that I bought. So when you signed up for ultimatedomainresellers.com that gives you the right to name your store whatever you want. I chose to name mine websitepalace.com, you can choose whatever name you want as a reseller.
The reason I chose a full reseller program (as opposed to an affiliate program that pays higher commissions) is because with the reseller program, you have the opportunity to earn much more due to the fact you can set your own prices. You can’t do that if you are a regular affiliate with GoDaddy or some of the others. So you have way more control over your profits as a reseller.
Plus cookies expire for a regular affiliate program so if someone were to come back to buy more domains 3 years later, you wouldn’t get the commission. That’s a HUGE benefit. Think of all the people who come back to buy domain names months or even years later. As an affiliate for GoDaddy or some other large-commission program, you’d earn that commission the first time but when that person bypasses your site and goes directly to GoDaddy.com the next time, you won’t earn the subsequent commission because the cookie expires.
When you own your own reseller store, your customers are directed to come back to your store and they are in your reseller database for life to ensure you get all commissions.
Yes, they also handle all the customer support so that is an added bonus.
Lisa,
You have had enough compliments, but I have to add to them. You are phenomenal! I came across you site last week.(saw your You tube video, don’t ask me how i came to it) I spent hours on here the first and 2nd day. Wow! I signed up for sbi affiliate program.(through you of course)
I already have ideas for 3 websites to use through sbi. 1 that is a compliment, yet free info site for my current business site. 2nd one is an idea i already had, but because of what i’ve read from you and sbi i see how i can utilize it differently. The 3rd is a name and content of something i’ve always had but didn’t know how i could use it as a site. I even have ideas for at least 5 or more people i know. sbi has made me think ok how can this person make money with what they like to do?
can’t wait to get started. i just have to focus on 1 thing at a time, meaning for me.
great job keep up the good work. i’m a dallas girl too, although you are originally from TN, but that’s ok. smile…….
ck out my site if you have a minute. i’m going to write some articles and add another dimension to my site like, giving people free info. trying to bring my site to sbi standards kinda, without being this site being sbi built. I know i need to add an about me page and maybe a pic, will do that soon.
Topic- Is there something on here about how to keep the Spam down on you business emails? please help wit this problem, so sick of them.
Thanks

Hi Lisa!
I am from India. I was trying to create a new website by searching tips from other sites and accidentally got into your site. Your site is very informative and friendly. Thanks for all the information. Will keep visiting your site.
Thanks
Sathish
Hey there Lisa. I would love to say that you have an amazing blog, I will continue to read it like a book until the day its offline. I’m only 15 years old but making blogs and sites for numerous years now and you make it worth while to carry on making them so I can leave school and have a full time job working for myself. Basically what I’m trying to say without rambling on like an old granny on speed is that your a great inspiration to me and many of my other friends who read your blog.
Carry on blogging and btw you rock
Lisa, you are the bomb! I feel like exhaling because I finally found a place for info that’s honest. I’m reading through all of the posts (I haven’t gotten through a tenth of your site yet and am hooked!) and you use the technological terminology like it’s a second language. Did you have any IT experience before you started this, or is all of this what you’ve learned over the years? The reason I ask is that I consider myself pretty computer savvy but some of these words and phrases I’ve never heard…..and am wondering how I’ll ever get to know all of it. Thanks very much, and keep going girl!
LOL, thanks Michele. No techy background at all. I just picked it all up by reading and learning. Keep in mind I’ve been doing this for 10 years so you can learn a lot in that timeframe. Just take it slow and the great thing about the Net is you can “google” almost anything you want to learn so that’s how I pick up a lot.
Hi lisa
I will fallow your advice
Im very keen to start my website
Many Thanks
You are FANTASTIC! Your site is wonderful. A great site for those just starting out. You are a God Send! Im just getting started in Internet marketing and a couple of other things online and you make so much so clear. Surely good things will come your way for providing this great info for the beginner!
Hi Lisa, Great info. I’m a blind computer user, totally blind veteran. I use a screen reader with speech to get around screen. All your advice and infromation is terrific for me. However cannot subscribe to your email since cannot see letters I must type. Often there is an alternative for blind people, listening to letters or numbers, then typing them in the edit area. RegaRegardless your information is very helpful for a blind person who is trying to create website and blog, etc. Thanks
great info, i just arrived this site somehow LOL.
your site is one of the best.. and i particularly love your blog and of course, alot of information you got there.
cheers
You explain things in a very easy to understand manner and the way your website and writing is organized is impressive. Keep up the good work!
Hi Lisa, I stumbled across your website by accident and I am glad I did. I love to hear some comments from you on what I can do to improve my daily traffic or any other improvements for my blog. Thanks Lisa for any help you can provide.
Hucky
Hi Lisa,
I have left a couple of other posts. Again, I wanted to say great job on what you do. This is the most comprehensive site I have seen. I admire you for giving back to the community and helping others get off the ground in the world of web design.
Matt
Hi Lisa,
Oh my god, I am just so happy I came across your site. I was talking to a co-worker he told me about how he went on your site got valuable information on how, when, where….does and don’ts about setting up blogs, websites etc. Well my wife and I have been thinking about setting up a website or blog, but really was not sure on how to start it….you know so many scams and all, but we went on your sit all of them ohhhhh boy we fell in love with you and the words that came out of your mouth. We have not officially started the site yet, because you said make a plan so that is exactly what we are doing, we have the idea we are just putting everything together now. But you well be mentioned when we put it up…trust me on that. Well we just wanted to thank you for opening our eyes and not just jumping into it. We love you, continue to keep it real, never ever change.
hi
I have always dreamt of creating my own website and show across my friends….. i as a beginner think your site will be a great start keep up this good work …proud of womenhood….thumbs up….
Lisa,
You really over deliver with the information on your blog! It’s a pleasure to meet you in the wonderful world of blogging!
PS: I love your picture!
How do I upload a pic for my profile on this website?
You need a gravatar (stands for globally recognized avatars) Sign up with http://en.gravatar.com/ And once you setup your account your pic will appear with all sites that recognize gravatars.
Interesting….I’ve already registered there but my pic doesn’t show. WTF, lol. Oh well.
I can see you.
It takes a little while to show up. There is some approval process it must go thru.
Hi,LISA!
Your websites & this blog are an Excellent source of great information for anyone considering starting a website!! I was refered to SiteBuildIt by another affiliate & then somehow found your blog….I am very impressed by your candor about some of SBI’s shortfalls,even though you are an Affiliate yourself….I am also impressed by your clear,logical reasoning in support of SBI on many of the posts I have read so far ! I am leaning heavily in favor of SBI for my first website venture & I have a question for you:There are now 3 ways to “buy” SBI..The original format at $299, the E Learning format at about $798 , or the SiteServices format,starting at about $1599…if you were starting today,which format would you choose??? … keep in mind that I have minimal knowledge of Internet marketing & I want to be up & running quickly..without rushing thru necessary learning steps!!
Thanks in advance for your reply & best wishes to you with all your personal & business ventures. Regards, KenGee
Thanks KenGee,
That means a lot. I guess the answer to your question is going to largely depend on you. Understand that I have never used E Learning or SiteSell Services. I did it the Do-It-Yourself way and had no problem. Keep in mind, though that I had some website building experience prior to buying SBI! so I was not a complete newbie and I do believe that gave me an advantage.
So I ask you. What kind of setting do you learn best in? Are you generally a do-it-yourselfer? If so, you may be fine with the route I took. However if you worry about being overwhelmed and/or need some direction and learn best in a classroom setting with structure, then you might want to try E Learning. The method you choose is really up to what you think you need as a beginner. So if I were to start today I’d probably stick with the option I chose. But that doesn’t mean that’s the best option for everyone. You have to think about what you would value as a beginner.
Good luck to you.
I’m sure you’ll make the right decision.
hi lisa welldone on the website this has so much fantastic information on it!!
Hi Lisa; i just signed up for the goggle business kit when I seen your website. This was a relief as I was just about to say I can’t do this. As a woman in my 50s, the internet is mind boggling to me but I so much want to understand. Just read your email book and want to thank you for the truth, I now realistically know what it takes and feel that I can do this. I will visit your other web site.
Hi, Nice to see by email. I do really love your voice. It sounds clear and softly…. Any way. Please teach me how to make a perfect blog by blogger including the tips. All the best for you.
Thank’s
Hello Lisa,
I am an SBI owner also. It just so happened that I watched a few of your videos on Youtube. I was impressed and encouraged that I am on the right track. Thanks for the motivational material you are sharing.
-Dave Tabern
(Website under construction) I found you on Youtube was blown away with your techniques and tutorials on how to expand my business, especially the video on Website traffic. Your video help alot.
I’m a musician/record producer running my own label, and always searching for ways to utilize the internet to further grow my business, so thank you for your information.
I hope to stay in closer contact with you and find ways that I can enhance your web experience in some way.
Have a great day/evening and I hope we get to talk soon.
God bless
Lisa,
I don’t know how I arrived at your site but I must say that I love your video “blog or web site” it was great. I can really feel the passion you have for this business. I’ve been doing this a long time also. Keep up the good work

Hey Lisa I thought you might find this interesting. I sure did.
http://blog.seliger.com/2009/06/17/youre-not-going-to-be-a-pro/
Ahh it is good to hear many points of view huh?
Have an awesome day Lisa. Love you book.
Thanks for being such a great teacher.

Thank you Tasha! Some very valid, in-your-face points.
I like your website lots of information. I like to start a website on my own. I have great products to sell, I make my own products but cant find a nice place to sell. Do you have more info about free hosting and build a free website. I like to try out.
Peng, you do NOT want to use free hosting. If they shut down for whatever reason, you are out of a lot of hard work!
I like your website lots of information. I like to start a website on my own. I have great products to sell, I make my own products but cant find a nice place to sell. Do you have more info about free hosting and build a free website. I like to try out.
Anyway, forget to add that I am from Singapore. And I like to do home based business which can earn real income. Pls forward me some sites. Thank you
Lisa: Thank you very much for your advice. I work at a non-for-profit museum (these days, “no-profit”) and your site has helped me with my Blog and I am working on making our own website so we have greater control over content. Again, thank you and have a wonderful day!
Steve
thank you 4 that you tube presentation, you were just what the doctor ordered.
The best ticket in town! Lisa is all that! Thanks Lisa!
Hi, just wanted to say that I am enjoying reading your blog. It’s very interesting and a wonderful resource to help others learn how to build and promote there online businesses.
Thanks,
Lisa,
I enjoy visiting your site. What sets your site from all the other sites is that I can feel your sincerity. When I read your posts/listen to your video blog, I don’t feel like getting sales pitches.
I have one question, tho. How do video blogs do with Google indexing? I thought having more texts, not videos or images, was the key to get a good Google ranking.
Juno, it’s a combination. Yes, you want text for search engine indexing, but Google also likes to rank their own videos (YouTube). I’ve seen several of my videos show up for keyword searches. Your goal is to make your site sticky — meaning you want people to stay around and come back often. Having a nice combination of both text and video can help accomplish this.
Hi Lisa:
I have been thinking about creating a website for ages, but I felt intimidated by all the information out there, having not kept up with the technology boom. I came across your e-book The Perfect Site Guide yesterday by googling “create a website.” I was truly amazed at the ease with which you communicate information in such an organized and audience-friendly manner. YOU are a gifted teacher and communicator. Not to mention you are motivational and inspiring. This has to be a God-given talent and purpose for you. I know this because even though fear had a stern grip keeping me from taking the initiative, your delivery and presentation of the information caused me to at least put a foot on the path. Today I am doing further research, viewing your sites and others you recommended. As I exclaimed during a break from reading your e-book, “This girl is a Godsend!”
Peace & Success
Deborah
Hi Lisa,
I just watched your video on Thesis on the Thesis website and I must say that I am very impressed with your presentation. I purchased the Thesis theme about about a year ago, but never really did anything with it. With your video I can tell they have made great strides. I am going to update today.
Keep up the good work.
Later,
Charles in Redmond, WA
Lisa, from your video, I wish to ask,
surely, if the merchants who do subscribe to ClickBank do sell their digital product, then, we as affiliates should be secured with commission payments via ClickBank. Afterall, ClickBank is the Intermediary between the merchant and the affiliate. So, as the saying goes, if a merchant can get on the bandwagon with ClickBank, then we as affiliates should be secured with commission payments.
May I have your feedback on this, Lisa.
Best wishes. Peter
You are right, Lisa. Having gone through a lot of sites, over a period of time, there are a lot of sites full of hype and BS!
Glad I stumble across yours. Sometimes I wonder for those newbies getting into business online, do they know what they are about to face?? In my country within my locality, I see many newcomers trying to get into the internet thing full time, but simply they have no idea how to go about it. I have been to a one and only seminar here in my locality but the guru does not really teach you everything. A lot of it comes from one’s soul searching.
Hello Lisa,
I need help bad. I read your pages over and over. i just purchase a domain for my blog(B but will this work on adsense because i have impressions but have not made a dime, yet. Do I need to put that domain on a website and is it ok to get it through hostgator? Do you have any info on park domains?
Hello Lisa,
I need help bad. I read your pages over and over. i just purchase a domain for my blog(Blogger) but will this work on adsense because i have impressions but have not made a dime, yet. Do I need to put that domain on a website and is it ok to get it through hostgator? Do you have any info on park domains?
If you don’t mind me asking, how many websits and bloggs do you have that earn for you, and how many different topics do you cover?
You only need one. The key is finding a niche and targeting a specific audience/group. No need for multiple sites or topics. One site and one niche is all you need.
Yep, although it is good to have additional streams of income to any given profitable website.
Hello Lisa my AdSense is working I making money now Think you.
My traffic is building very slowly. I have submitted to directories. I also have an article submitted and accepted. How long does it take to build traffic? Do I need to increase the number of articles?
WOW Lisa,
I am sure glad I found you. For the past two days I have been trying to put a form on my sister’s wedding facility blog so her brides can email me their music. I the DJ.
I found your post and with your instructions I got it working. I still have to finishing designing it and make all the labels print so I will know which song is for which activity.
Your instructions were so easy to follow and I appreciate you for your help. I will be spending a great deal of time on your sites learning from you. You are very sharp.
Here is where I place the form, I still have more fields to add, like will there be a prayer, will there be toast and who will give them, etc. I have that part figured out. Here is the link. http://grandloft.net/?page_id=7
Keep up your good work.
Duane
PS I like your theme. I may have to give it a try.
Hey Lisa,
You don’t have to post the message. I need a lot of training to learn how to create a website and know-how to create traffic to my website for two reasons. 1. I want to work at home. (I know it’s not easy to build an online business.) 2. I design t-shirts and plan to sell them online. I have am looking at a 6 month course with PMI Education in Utah. They have an A+ rating at BBB.org. I was wondering if you have heard anything about the company?
Thanks
Keith C
Keith you can break the learning curve by getting a basic understanding what you want to accomplish. Remember begin with the end in mind. First, what is your niche or sweet spot you will be targeting. You must know who your audience will be before you start. Second, what are you passionate about? Knowing this will help focus your effort to get your foundation in place. Third, Lisa has a lot of information on how to get started. Just take your time piece by piece. You will do just fine.
well done on this site lisa ive now been working on my site 3 weeks using all the advice given on your website and it is working a treat thankyou
owen
Hi Lisa – I have been a silent reader for quite some time now, and finally I decided to break my silence when I read your recommendation about theisis theme, bought it..and shocked to see the rankings it is getting for me..awesome!!
I have enjoyed many of your posts. If it’s ok, I ‘d like to make few guest posts on your blog..you can check my writing style on my blog (click the name above). If you like it, drop me an email.
As a special thank you token for your awesome information, I have added your blog link in my blog’s ‘worthy blogs’ section.
Regds,
Deep
Thanks for the comment and link, Deep! So glad you love Thesis!! The more I use it, the more I love it!
hey Lisa heard any word about the 2.0 release that Chris would be putting out. I really believe that it will be huge.
Haven’t heard anything. Really surprised they haven’t launched yet.

First of all I invite you to visit my blog and let me know your comments and advice. On the other hand I will propose you a partnership, please write to my e-mail and I will explain you my idea.
Best regards,
Carlos

Hi Kenny, that’s great you are inspired but you are starting off on the wrong foot by commenting and asking people to click your ads. Not only can you get banned from Google AdSense, but it doesn’t work. Your best bet is to learn effective, ethical ways to market your site. Read my free book http://www.theperfectsiteguide.com
Wow Lisa, I can’t believe You even approved that Spam Lol

Hello Lina,
You should really take a look at Lisa’s website 2createawebsite.com. There is many tutorials and articles to guide you in the right direction.
You could also ask your questions on Lisa’s forum. websitebabble.com where many people can help you out.
hello Lisa,
I discovered your site for about 2 months ago and I always see what you hv to say about a subject. You hv really good advises for people that are starting (like me) and a encouraging word for us. I would like to thank you for your blogs and keep the good work. ROck on
Lisa, I’ve pondered for years starting a business. The truth is, after years of helping advance the businesses and companies of others, I think capitalizing on my talents and creativity is a little over due.
I have been researching for the last few weeks but to no avail, and all of a sudden, i’m goggling today after listening to the blue voda rep and reading feedback, i found you. Your bio hit home and confirms most of my convictions, mainly about turning failures into successes. IT IS time and I’m going to be reading your information and joining in on some of the websitebabble forums.
I also like the fact that you’ve responded to postings consistently from the beginning. That speaks to your dedication and integrity. Thank you so much!
Dear Lisa, I have no words how to thank you for this website; It’s the most useful website for starting online life or blog. In every word you say here I feel It’s sincere and Real. It’s a wonderful feeling when someone helps you to understand some things, your inside voice, to figure out the truth of things. So people *DOES NOT EXIST A FAST AND EASY WAY TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE IN A DAY* Read Lisa’s books as I did and you will be very thankfull to her as I am.
Many websites promise us to make money within 24 hours, or in a single click, and require $10 tu sign up. Hehe, but who is that donkey to trust that? If I’m making so much money from them then why they ask me to pay $10 to sign up? Couldn’t they withdraw that $10 after I earn the famouse promised money from their “magic” system? Hehehe *People DON’T believe them, they’re all scams*
Thanks again Lisa, keep up you wonderful work, so people will know the truth that these days is so difficult to find in the internet. I always loved blogging and computers so my future work is definitely in my lover Internet.
I’ve been thinking of starting this kind of thing years before but haven’t started it so far. After reading this and watching your You Tube I promised myself that I really need to act now and get started. Thank you so much. You are an inspiration!

GREETINGS LISA:
I WAS DOING A SEARCH ON BLOGS AND YOUR HELPFUL INFORMATION CAME UP. I AM EAGER TO LEARN MORE FOR I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY AND I KNOW MANY MORE PEOPLE CAN RELATE PLEASE CONTACT ME BY EMAIL TO DISCUSS FURTHER.
SINCERELY,
STEPHANIE
Hi Lisa,
My name is Angeles. I’ve been looking, searching on how to make some profit through the internet like you do now. My financial circumstances are caotic. Please show me a quick and simple way to start. How to bring traffic to my sites once is done. How to moneties a different blogs o websites. I’m kind of nut in this. Do you understand me?
I decided to take the plunge and learn about web-sites by creating one. The basics were pretty easy and I got something up there within a hour but then the jargon, file structures and the code started slowing me down.
After stumbling across your site, I’ve spent the last hours flipping from one of your blogs to the next. They’re inspiring, informative and very easy to read! I’m sure the advice will prove just as useful.
Hi, Lisa. I found you while I was browsing in Youtube. I was looking for videos about blogging and, after watching and listening to some people bragging about their checks without explaining how they did it, luck took pity on me and led me to you. Thank you for your unselfish effort of helping newbies like me. It’s hard to get through the bragging and learn something with the other “experts”, ya know. You gave it straight and very clear. From this day, I am your fan.
Take care and hope to see more of you. Mwah!
Lisa,
Thanks for your honesty, it’s hard to find that on the web these days! I’ve been looking at your videos for some time now. I seem to always come back to your videos. Could you take a look at my site and tell me what you think?
Hi Lisa! Been in network marketing going on two years & hadn’t made a penny… spent a lot of money, but hadn’t made a penny! Around August 2009, I actually decided it was time to do something else. Had your website bookmarked longer than Aug., but never took the time to hear what you offered. I knew for awhile, the kind of biz MLM was after a year into the biz, but I had hoped things would change. Since listening to you, I actually have learned more then the two years I been involved in the Interner marketing arena. You are an AWSOME! person to care about others like you do. I know why you succeed, & I pray that you continue. Thank you for being real!
It does take some time to make money on the internet. Look at how long Lisa has been going at it. So that just proves if you stick with it it can happen.
hi! Ms. Lisa. I’m really interested about adsense… i tried contacting you in youtube and im following you in twitter.. I really like to learn.. im new in website building though i had some personal websites i made back in geocities days till they closed. but i want to learn more.. i want you to be tutor. im using coffecup and dreamweaver. I am trying to invite people to get in to adsense but nobody is believing me. so i want to show them that you can actually earn. here.. I am from the Philippines btw i want to learn more…
Hello Ray,
It’s nice to see your getting into AdSense. I recommend you take a look at Lisa’s other websites:
http://www.2createawebsite.com and
http://www.2planawebsite.com
as they give more guidance on the actual planning, building and making money process.
Jack
Hey, I just purchased my Sitebuildit! I got it through your site and Im sooooooo excited. Anyhow, I just wanted you to know that. Wish me luck. P.S. I missed the holiday offer like a jerk.
Ed
… * HAPPY ~ NEW ~ YEAR * …
How refreshing! A caring, helpful buisinesswoman as opposeded to the arrogant technocrats I have encountered on my quest for knowledge on the web. You restore my faith in humankid and I wish you all the success and support you richly deserve.
Hi Lisa
im starting this new opportunity, thanks for all the information you give us is very helpful we will keep in contact
Great site. Thanks for all the info.
Hi Lisa .. this is Lisa smile.. I am deaf person hope is not bother you or scare you .. I ready need some kinda help here about this Google I just Join for two week from now also I pay too.. and I figure all week not know how to used this .. I have three kids and single mom is hard on me be at home ..I was looking for work at home that why I join Google i been working on Google Adsenes and AdWords too. I hope you not mind can help me this how to set everything .. I not have any friend can help.. deaf single mom is hard .. been pray for help .. here is my email if you can email me [email protected] thanks be waiting for you smile.. bye Lisa P,
Hi Lisa (Deaf Lisa). I hope you don’t mind me answering some of this since I am Deaf and I do earn income online also. I use Google Adsense successfully, and I would be glad to explain more of it to you. If you click on one of my websites, which is http://www.babiesandsignlanguage.com you can find the contact form and send me your e-mail and/or VP number.
I am not out to take your money, I promise, and I believe Lisa knows this also. I have several SBI! websites, which you’ve seen Lisa talking about, and I’m a frequent contributor at their forums. I say this just to let you know that I’m earnest in helping, and am THRILLED that there are other Deaf who want to do the same thing and hope many have the drive as you (we) do.
Keep reading ALL of Lisa’s information here, and go to her free Website Babble forum, if you haven’t been already. Check out her SBI! articles and links here. It takes much more than 2 weeks to earn anything, seriously. So hang in there!
Contact me if you wish, I am fluent in ASL (American Sign Language and could explain to you more about Adsense and the difference between Adwords also).
It takes a lot of time and work in the beginning but I believe you can do it!
You don’t have to contact me, smile, I’m just saying that I’d be happy to help another fellow Deaf person.
With peace always,
MJ
Lisa, thank you very much for allowing my post. This person has contacted me, so please feel free to remove my website link, if you’d prefer to.
Thank you once again for such an inspiring site(s) and may all blessings fall upon you. I will continue to send those serious about this your way (to this site).
In peace always,
MJ
Everytime I want to learn something about Flash or Blogs, I end up on Lisa’s page. I don’t seek her out, she just comes to me via different search engines.
Her initial information is short and to the point – if more detail is necessary, she has that too… just follow her links.
So, Lisa, thank you for your time and effort on all the little training lessons you’ve given me. In exchange, I follow ad links with the hope it raises some cash flow.
Keep up the good work… and by the way, she’s as cute as a bug!
Hello Lisa…I think u are awesome. You are so sincere and Cute too. You are my inspiration. I have learned more from your info in 2 weeks than I have learned in several months. Thank You. I recently signed up with sitebuildit and WOW, so far I am very impressed. I will keep u posted. I am curious about how u make your videos. Maybe you could make a video on making videos. Do u use a amera or do u use a web cam. They are basic but really get your point across in a personal way. Keep up the great work.
thanks for posting great info, just getting in to the affiliate marking thing. ill be back for more. aloha
Hi, Lisa,
Congratulations for all the success that you have reached. I will return to learn more from you.
All the best!
Boris

What third party sponsor ads do you suggest? What do you think about Burst?
Hello Lisa, it is really nice to hear about you and the success you’ve achieved till date. We would like to wish you a very best of luck to you.
Cheers.
great job, really was refreshing
hey Lisa you’re advice is great! I love how you put your hard work with your website!:) you are vary
if you can you have my permission to post this message
I hope I’ll be able to stay in touch with you! 
creative to come up with a idea like this one. you’re advice helped me understand why I shouldn’t make
a free website. you are a creative person and I read you’re page about your website and you
you have a vary good inspirational personality.
on your front page of your website.
Hi Lisa,
First of all I want to say that I think you do a great job on your video’s and on your site explaining your point so that it is easy for most anyone to understand.
That leads me to the reason I’m writing … and I’ll be as brief as possible.
I’m putting a small group of 4 online marketers together to participate in a JV deal whereby we will all support and promote each other in weekly product promotions using my membership site as a platform. 4 people — 1 week each month — where we will all promote your product — if it’s your week.
The 4 marketers I’m considering besides yourself are … Kevin ‘Mr. EBay’ Johnson, Elizabeth ‘Diva’ Ashe, and Daegan Smith. I don’t know if you know these folks … and I’m fairly flexible in the event we need to substitute a marketer.
Please take a look at my site that will go live on Friday the 18th … I’m just putting the finishing touches on the site now … and I’m confident it will be up Friday. http://www.GreenLeafMedical.org/Business.htm
You could earn $5000 per sale … on just 1 of the monetized items … there are 3 other monetized items: $50 bucks, $10 bucks and a monthly recurring $10 buck membership.
Sorry for the length of this letter…
Please check out the site and get back to me ASAP for a link and answers to any questions you have.
I believe collectively we could really help a whole lot of folks.
Looking forward to meeting you and talking to you further.
Please call me anytime … 650-468-7390 — I would love to speak with you anytime.
Thanks Lisa,

hi lisa came acoss your site was wondering if you could steer a down on her luck mom with five kids how to make money from home. have been ripped off now by three sites that took my money and nothing, any suggestions would be great appreciated. your site is great. thanks
Hi Lisa, you’re definitely an inspiration! How nice it is of you to give out such valuable information, you’ve obviously put a lot of hard work into everything. Thank you so much for the information. I would love to speak more with you if ever possible. Thanks! Erin
hi lisa
i came to USA as a refugee and i want to study here programming and web design when i search in the internet i found your video in youtube and it awesome. i get a lot of information from it. i will continue watch your video and website to learn more. i want to ask you about which books may be it is useful for me of design website. thank you
Hello Lisa, Just found your website and I can’t stop reading all the great articles you have, a lot of amazing advice on creating traffic and making money online,
Thank you
Marios
Hi Lisa,
I have been watching a few of your videos. You are a very pretty lady indeed. I just wanted to mention that the lighting on your face is creating shadow. I am a professional videographer and think that you might benefit from doing a three point lighting system.
Keep the light that you normally have on you (key light) but add another light on the opposite side further away or at a lower wattage (its called a fill light). This will give you a softer look and lessen the shodows on your face.
Adding a hair light to shine on the back part of your head on one side creates separation from you and the background.
Yeah, you might well already know this sort of thing. Or, you may not care; nonetheless, I have enjoyed spending time on your site.
blessings,
JP
Lisa, I need your help. a friend of mine asked me to help her creating a website for her. There’re so many sites for creating a free website that I really don’t know which one I can use. Please reply. Thanks.
Thanks for this good read. I really liked it and I’ve bookmarked you to take a look at the recent stuff you post.

Lisa
I was so happy when I found your website information. I have never found a website so well done and so “Friendly User” specially for those who don’t have a clue like me in reference of how to built a website. I always want it to find something to really enjoy doing as my business, but never knew what. I do have my career but I was missing something and I did not know what was until I decided to built my own website and found yours. I really appreciate your honesty and professionalism in this subject. I will continue reading your website to learn more and I surely hope to have up and running my website sometime soon this year.
Thanks again
Sincerely
LOrtiz-Interior Designer
Honesty & Professionalism !!!
I reiterate the thoughts of Lesbia Ortiz.
LISA you are One In A Million, Literally !
I THANK YOU very very much for You being you, I don’t think you fully realisze how unique you really are !
Gratitude,
Rick.
I just want to say thanks for this interesting thread about About Author – Lisa Irby! Regards, Alexa Beratung
Hi lisa, seeems like it takes a lot of time and effort to really make something out the web.
Great site. Simple. Informative. Friendly. Just what I like. And just what I’m looking for.
I jumped in too quickly building my site. It’s not really what I want. The content is close. But, the design is not quite there. I wanted to grab the domain before someone else got it.
Anyway… Thank’s for all the helpful info. 1 question: I like the social networking links that open a new page to comment or the like. I have a headache from searching to no avail. Any tips?
Thanks.
Lisa,
I have been pursuing a degree for a long time. I’m a single mom with two special needs kids. I am a senior at a public university. I am a CIS major, non-programming tract. I am taking a wed design class, and was ready to drop out until I found your css video on youtube. WOW my instructor was making this way too difficult! You ought to teach you ROCK!
Thanks maybe I can make it through the last 3 semesters….
mom/non-trad student
Your soul is beautiful like your physics. Thank you for your kind teaching of how to build both blog and website. I am a bit intimidated when it comes to tech things, but I’d like to change myself relying too much on others. Most of all, I’d like to claim a self confident by following your advice. I just registered with wordpress before I wrote this. Thank you so much Lisa.
with metta,
Nyunt
Ms Lisa I like the integrity of your presence…I would like to incorporate some of the features of your videos with my own Maybe you can connect with me and we can discuss particulars..Thank you for who you are

Hello Lisa, I stumbled onto your video after typing in making money. The first thing I thought was “Ok another home made video about making money.” I assume my interest keep me there because earlier this year I purchased a Money Making CD/Readable set that I actually read through from front to back. I did get excited about some of the concepts and websites that were taught but I only heard a voice and they would show the cursor moving on a computer screen, but enough of that. After listening and going to your web site I found myself listening to your videos from 3years ago. The excitement has come back but I did not pay $149 to get it. I plan on reading more as a beginner and unlike most people I do have some patients but I also know that you get out of what you put in to it. I am already $-149 in the negative but my willingness is there. For some reason I fell more excepted into your videos because they are down to earth and straight from the hip even if it points out negativity in a company or product. Thanks for pulling me back in and I have not even spent a dime. Keep up the good work.
Well, I guess, i can only hope that Lisa will read this and respondl. I am looking to start a socail networking site like Facebook ro Myspace, but I know exactly what I would want to do with it. It would be music and other artestsl. Each artists coudl create their own page and personalize it to their choosing, background, pictures, everyhing. There also would be player on there to listen to a few select tracks. The Newly designed myspace absolutely killed myspace. It’s horrible and nodody want to use and many artist are just leaving. It was THE most effective marketing tool and many bands got found this way. Given my little amount of computer understanding, is it suggested, I go back to school for a degree in computer science?
One thing in common that all successful bloggers share is the fact that they’ve all gone through mistakes and years of trial and error to end up where they are today. Like Lisa sais, it’s all about the journey. The average time to make money in this industry usually is about 5 years. Joel Comm, Zac Johnson and many other bloggers will tell you the same story. There’s so much to learn it’s unimaginable at the beginning, but eventually if you keep on going, you’ll make it whilst others who gave up won’t.
Lisa! I’ve just discovered you today and you as anyone else had encouraged me to try my best to improve my recently opened blog, I just was watching a video where you said that you won about 6 thousand dollars or something and it really motivated me. All the things you said, I’ve really thought of that but up to now I’m really going to try it out! I would say that right now I have a theme blog and I really love it so I always try to give good content, and now I’m just trying to improve the traffic so that I could win big bucks! I would really appreciate if you would give a quick visit to my humble blog and give me a quick review, please!!! =D Hope you have the time for one of your new fans! Haha! Thank you so much!
How refreshing! Yes, I am NOT going to fill out all that info so I can leave a comment, something bloggers should encourage by “ease of use.” But, do tell me, Lisa, how I can proceed when I feel the landmines all about. For instance, I’ve had my blog up since July 4, 2010 (more than one Independence Day) and right now I quake with the thought many of my pictures/photos I believed were allowed if I simply gave attribution; now I fear copyright issues all over the place…What am I to do? I make no money on this new blog, am spending inordinate time doing it (that’s OK but I want it productive) and now I shiver in me timbers” (Oooopppss copyright problem) fearing the law will be after me. Do other bloggers worry about such stuff? What’s the alternative? Just my own generic, vanilla pix? (Take out Biddy and Alexa Jayne Mansfield blockbuster picture? in recent post)…Thanks for your honesty; your blog is very user-friendly and interesting.
Colleen, there are lots of free photo sharing sites. Flikr for one, there is Dreamstime and Stock Exchange, etc. You then use their photos and attibrute to them as they ask. But you can’t just go to Google images and swipe any photo you like or see.
You’ll need to either: 1. Go to each of those pics and find the owners and ASK their permission for the photos you currently have, or 2. Remove all of the pics and begin with the ones that you HAVE permission to use, such as the sites mentioned above.
I have no financial stake in any of the sites I just named, they are off the top of my head and wanted you to know so you can stop worrying.
Check out Lisa’s posts on SBI websites, if you haven’t already, then you may understand why your blog is moving so slowly.
Best wishes with your new blog!
With peace,
MJ
Colleen, I also meant to add that you can just go to any search engine and type in ‘Royalty Free Images” (without the quotes) and you should get a nice list of photo places you can use. Sometimes they are absolutely free and A LOT of pics are just a simple little dollar to own for your website/blog.
I also had a look at your blog. You’d make better money if you just stuck to ONE specific topic. Just an honest opinion.
Again, best wishes,
MJ
Just wondering if any of your free books can be downloaded for a mobile phone .That would be very convenient . Thank you for the inspiration.
Hi Lisa!
I find your information very useful. I’d recommend your information to a newbie anytime. Thank you!
Hi Lisa,
I decided to use Ad Sense again on my blog since I’ve noticed ads placed in the RSS feeds of a few ministries I subscribe to.
I’m not looking to get rich, but hopefully over time, to earn enough money to help pay off my student loan debt rather quickly, if I can ever earn figures like you’ve shown in your videos.
I look forward to reading more from you.
Hi Lisa,
I want to start a dating web site. Can you give me some advice about how to start or set up the web site.
Thank You in advance.
can I write in my facebook that i have website if anybody like to visit.. is it allowed to do that if i have got google ads in my site?
hope i can here from u soon.. tnx
Now lisa, you know you ain’t making no money on the internet. Why you lying to the people. Come on. There is no money to be made on the internet. Why you fooling the people?
I really hope this is a joke, Joyann. If you’d take just a bit of time to go through my posts and videos, you will see screenshots, videos, and checks. And if you think there is no money to be made online I’m not sure where you’ve been over the past 15 years. Not only am I making a living but I have proudly helped several friends in my city achieve success as well. I suppose I can understand the skepticism, but to say “there is no money to be made on the internet” really makes me wonder where you’ve been and who’ve you’ve been listening to.
Ever heard of the Affiliate Summit? It’s a conference that meets twice per year with people just like me and many of them earn a living as well. So I’m not alone. My dignity is too high for me to “fool people” and quite frankly it’s insulting — especially since I do my best to help people AVOID getting scammed. Those who know me and follow my blog know that lying is NOT my style.
Well let me say, that I have been working on the internet for years and years, and have not made any money. Its all a trick, that is what it is. So stop telling people lies and tell them the truth.
With all due respect, Joyann I don’t get your logic. Just because you failed, I’m lying? I failed at many things in life but I don’t call those who succeed liars. Maybe it wasn’t for me or maybe I needed direction/help to figure out where I went wrong. If you needed help, I would have personally loved to help you and maybe we could figure out where you went wrong, but disrespecting someone on their blog and calling them a liar without the facts is not cool.
Clearly I’ll never convince you and that’s fine. I understand the skepticism. My friends and family were too until I quit my job in 2006. It took me years as well. Do you know how many sites I created that failed miserably? But I didn’t go around calling the successful people liars. I learned from my mistakes, created 2createawebsite.com and started following others who are succeeding and that’s when my situation turned around.
And thanks for having my back, Elusiverick.
Not everyone will be convinced.
FERGUS !
I MUST Intervene !
Apologise to the lady !

hello Veronica. It is great that you chose to come on line to make some income rather than play Farmville for 8 hours. I sound that you have chosen to do affiliate marketing. This is a great avenue to take. However there is a right way and a wrong to do it. For me to assist you. It must be clear on what you want to accomplish.
I just finished watching your CSS Tutorial Pt 1 – Basic Layout video on you-tube. Thank you for making CSS so simple. I know that I need to get away from table layout and get into CSS. I have been trying to get into CSS for a long time. Everyone out there makes it so complicated. Your video makes it easy. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I am tryig to build a blog on WP, I am using a free theme. I have become compleely stuck. I would like to modify the theme a bit if possible. I hoping someone could help me with this. I am HTML/CSS illiterate.
Thank you so much

Hello,
I would like to know if I need a business license for my website?
My website is a music search site & will soon be a music e-commerce site through affiliate programs (iTunes/Amazon).
I am also hoping to make income through Google Adsense.
I reside in CA.
In the future, I will be hiring people to run the content.
Also, I forgot to mention, that I in the near future, I will be charging artists to promote them on my site.
Nope, no license needed. As you grow you may want to think of incorporating but it’s not necessary.
Great article thank you for sharing you experiences with all of us. I am just starting out and very hopeful of earning an income online as well. I understand though this will not be an overnight success story as all of us would love to have. You have some really great tips and articles that I have enjoyed and learned from. Thanks http://www.easysixfigureincome.com/

Hey, Lisa. I love the realistic approach you take when it comes to making money online. I’m also a huge fan of your Youtube videos (and your little theme song), which is how I first came to learn about you. I am surprised you’re not a guru in the internet marketing space. You would be a good one to follow. Have you considered launching your own product on Clickbank?

With Teamviewer it would be very grateful if someone helps further adjustment because of the AdSense …
Lisa,
Let me know please that from where can i get best contents of particular niche product?
hi lisa..i read your perfect site guide and i was thinking of building a web blog from wordpress for free rather than blogger and register it to adsense..unfortunately i dont have money to pay for my own domain name and for webhosting. i have my content now and i want to publish it. Is it possible to earn money from adsense with a free blog from wordpress? and if its ok, i would love to do that before purchasing my own domain and pay for a webhosting. I just want to earn little money as an investment and for me to buy the package deal in SBI as you mentioned in your e-book. thanks very much Lisa,,

Hi,
Great site with great advise!
I am a website designer in Miami Fl. (305)
I use Joomla alot but I am new to affiliate marketing. There are so many techniques that I’m confused about what would work with the group of sites I own “and” what would work for my website design clients.
Any advise would be great… Thanks [email protected]
Hey, Scott. Although I don’t know anything about Joomla, WordPress is the standard when it comes to affiliate marketing and things of the like when it comes to setting up a site on your own domain. I don’t think they let you use affiliate links on the free version of WordPress.
Hi Joey,
I have an unlimited hosting acct with about 10 Joomla sites running. In my view Joomla is just an advanced version of WP. It’s a full CMS but easy to use. I also have many website clients that would like to start using PPC and affiliate marketing on there sites. I have one client that has a shopping cart – CMS that gets 35-50 hits daily and makes about 1.5 to 2 sales a week. I’m sure with a little advise I can get 100-200 visits a day for my client. I also want to create new pages on there site with some sort of affiliate marketing to leverage there traffic. Hoping Lisa or any of the experts on the site can help.
Thanks – [email protected]
could someone explain to me exactly how I would make money blogging?
Fabel, have you read ANY other pages of this website??
Hi Lisa,
You started making money since 1998 and full time since 2006, my question is, it took that long, 8 years, because you did not put that much interest on it or it really took that much effort to be able to make a living from it
The first 4 years I didn’t have a real plan. I was just making money with SEO and doorway pages. Not very stable. Then in 2002 I created 2createawebsite and it took it 2 years to match my 9 to 5 income. I quit my 9 to 5 two years later.
Lisa,
I really admire your passion for wanting to help people. Your content is quality and I’d like to spread it even further to my audience. Continue the great work! See your articles at http://www.blog.contactmywebmaster.com
I know better now, so I’ll do better. Thank-you, Lisa. I have gain a better business sense because of you.
How do I export my Blogspot blogs to my Weebly blog?
Does anyone know of a automated blog software that is free meaning free, not a trial?
Looking for software that allows you to create a post , then send that blog post to a blog directory.

hi. i started a couple of hosting reseller websites hostingtheglobe.com and hostingneeded.com. it have been almost a month now and i cant seem to get my first sale. i am looking to build a website to earn money but i have failed every time a try. and now seem to be a lot of competition out there so now it is harder to make money online. what advise can you give me please. thanks
How much traffic are you getting Marco and how are you promoting your site? When I started reselling my site was getting about 500 visits per day mostly from google. It was very targeted traffic because they were keywords related to creating a website.
Greetings Lisa,
Its My First Day on your site and i have really fallen in love with it as i have been reading some interesting articles of yours, You are doing pretty well and helping so many other people achieve the same success you are already having online.
I have been on the same journey but its been tough really but hoping to get much success too having been motivated by your successes.
Keep up the Good Work and please am gonna take some time to contact you later. Hope to read more from You.

I’m new to this social media. I have been doing a lot of reading to understand what road I should take. The people Ive been talking with the different marketing companies but no one have really impressed me with the route I should take.they try to get you when they figure you don’t know the social game. So I am going to continue to study until.. The way we were marketing was word of mouth and postings..PS can you point me in the right direction? Or what areas should I study this social media?is there a site out there for dummies?I would love any suggestions that you may have. do you train?
Hi Marco
No matter what platform you use, social media is about engaging people. You start by providing them with useful, relevant advice. The more relevant it is to what they need, the more they will like and engage with you. The 2nd component is interaction. Talk back to your fans and answer their questions. Also ask them about their needs and spark conversation. The last element is to link to other people’s content and they will often do the same for you.
So whether you use Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, the basics are the same. It can seem overwhelming at first, but if you think about it, it’s really simple. I did a video about engaging people on Facebook a couple of weeks ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgGOtlvSc8
I learned by trial and error and I’m still learning.
Good morning lisa,
Am a school sat, who dont have much idea about all these online business. When i browse through your webside, i was touched. Please mar, put me through so that i will be one of the succussful person.
My email is [email protected]. I don’t have a webside mar. Thanks and God bless.
Thank you Lisa for your quick response. with all that said it wouls make since for me to hire someone to do my SEO and email marketing and to build and engage with new clients so if you know of anyone who could be looking for a part time job that could easly trn into a full time have them to email me: [email protected]
Thanks!!
Hi Lisa and everybody else. I have been following and learning from Lisa for awhile. I am a website designer in Miami and have a farm of my own websites as well as running several websites for some of my website design clients. If anyone wants to network resources please contact me. I think im sitting on profits if I make the right moves. I say this because I have been designing websites for awhile but I’m new to website marketing, affiliate marketing etc. It would be great to interact with others in similar situations to see what web and marketing related resources we could share and gain profits from and exchange knowledge.
For example. I spent a week looking for and configuring a affiliate marketing program to use on some of my sites. I would be glad to share the program i used and how if finally figured out how to make it work correctly with others. Im sure we could all gain from each others hours of reading installation pdf’s manuals at 2:30am

Hey Lisa,
Thank you for all the helpful tips on this website. It’s inspired me as I continue to grow my own adsenses-implented site. Since my site is more of a web application (it composes original jingles to a users words) rather than a blog. I wanted to ask you – do you advice for how to use adsense on a web-app based site?
I’m growing my traffic everyday, but have yet to see many clicks.
Thanks!

I started into SEO about 3 years ago, and I get so confused by everyone telling me do this or that. During that time I found affilliate marketing, but this is even more confusing. I am glad I stumbled upon your site and I hope you can help me explain this profession that is just starting to take off.
I just wanted to say HI, and tell you that even Spanish Speaking people read your blog : )
Kia ora Hi Lisa,
Its nice to read about some one who is passionate about what she does admits mistakes you sure are a real person and if any one has a problem with you being a blogger or what ever that’s there problem bottom line you made it you are where you are and if you hadn’t made all those mistakes you wouldn’tc be where you are some people don’t understand or they just like to complain. You are a teacher and you want to share your gifts of what you learn to the world and yes i take my hat of to you and keep going.
Thanks for putting out quality easy to understand instructions. Your website and links have taught me a lot.
How you doing Lisa,
I’m new to the internet world of affiliate marketing and how to start an online business. But I would like to congratulate you on a great website that is full of wonderful information that will be very helpful to newbies like me. Keep it up, look forward to learning more from your experience.
You said a lot about your business, my dear, yet very little about yourself – the most incognito About Me page I’ve seen! lol
However, the very first line put a smile on my face… Loving the journey!
No way! Really? I never thought about it like that, but since you put it that way I guess I’ll have to revisit this, huh? lol
Dear Madam
Please provide me information relating to make a static website and other information about hosting, blogging, HTML, CSS, ULR etc for my knowledge/information.

Hi Lisa,
I have to sum it all in one word, Awesome!! You are very resourceful and thanks for imparting your knowledge in the most helpful way to others.
I just found you today and I thought you said enough about yourself to let me know how real this is for you. I’m a newbie in every sense of e- marketing and my Web page proves it (banners everywhere). I’m not sure which direction I’m headed but I hear you loud and clear you about teaching and having a passion . I thought I would log my journey and and see if like situated persons would network with me …..we’ll see how that works
Hi Lisa,
I stumbled across one of your articles while writing one of my own for http://nucreature.com . You have some great insight especially with WordPress. Proud to see my people successful in this area of technology.

I need help with a Marketing plan
Your Adsense earnings are impressive!
Wish I could also earn like you through my web sites.
Hi Lisa,
It was all by accident. But I found your blog as I was looking for information about WordPress blogs. Information about how to set them up.
You know. I opened a free WordPress blog. I published an article about the Line command in IntelliCAD. This is the site of my blog:
http://www.moreaffordablecad.com
Now I’m reading the articles that you have written. You give good information. What you say. I’m going to use it. I hope it helps me with my blog and so.

Hello Lisa: greetings from Monterrey, Mexico. html is some kinda happiness, everyone should learn it, there´s no time to get bored. I´ll wait for your info, it will be more than welcomed!
you went from thesis to woo-themes? why?
I explained why here http://blog.2createawebsite.com/2012/02/20/why-i-ditched-the-thesis-wordpress-theme/
Hello Lisa
I have been struggling with making money on the internet for almost 5 years. I came to this site to get adsense advice and stumbled upon SBI…bought it from your site and now have 2 sites working and a 3rd getting ready…just bought your book and am sooo very excited to read it.
I just want to say thank you because, for me, your information has made a very confusing online world, easy to understand and do-able in real time.
thanx
Vickie
Awesome! I wish all the best Vickie and thanks for your support.
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for giving such wonderful info, I myself love computers and being on the net, so this will be a new journey for me and I’m looking forward to see what the outcome will be, also looking forward to continued collaborations and learning from you, keep up the good work!
Habakkah
You will be my ambassador of Quan Lisa. So now I have to catch up on your blog that I want to subscribe to.
hi lisa i have read your info it’s too good for me coz m also same as you when u r in college
Hello Lisa,
I do not know how I came across your site, Oh I was searching Google for AdSense advice, but I am so glad I did. What a amazing journey. Thanks for sharing all you know.
hey lissa, im so glad that someone have show me your site, it really helps me thank you lissa for your help! many people like me we benefit through your site wishing you godluck and succefully life.
Hi Lisa,
I am Gee from the Philippines. You are an answered prayer as I was looking for a mentor who can help me build a blogsite, but having zero knowledge about it. All other sites I have seen are willing to teach me but for a fee.
I am happy that you are paying forward your success in this endeavor. and I hope to be learning much from you… and paying forward too in the future.
Will be following you . . .
Gee
Hi Lisa I was just coming here because i know your really succesful with adsense and i just started yesterday i want to know how i can icrease my traffic to my blog and other sites that have my ads. Its hard and sometimes i want to beg for clicks.
I’ve been with you for a while now and you give some awesome information. I have a blog and it’s not easy getting traffic because my target audience is teens.
However, I love speaking to them so I’m willing to wait on the traffic. I want to get into affiliate marketing but my issue is the niche. This is something no one can help me with.
Everyone says to either ask a family member what you’re good at or find a hobby you enjoy and or just start jotting everything that comes to mind down on paper. None of it works really.
I enjoy mentoring teens and writing. That’s all I have. There aren’t any other niches out there I can think of. My mom says writing is my niche, but even though I enjoy writing, I have to have something to write about, you know?
I know i won’t get rich from my teen blog or even make a decent income from it right now, that’s why I was looking into affiliate marketing. However, until I find my niche, I guess it’s back to working my 8am to 5pm job. Man I need help, lol.
Hi Scarlet
Have you ever polled your audience and found out what their #1 problem is? I wonder if building a more niche site that focuses on helping them solve a common problem would help draw in more visitors. You mentioned you have a teen site but what is the focus?
The focus of the teen site is to help guide teens through life. i want to be able to answer any questions that they may have – whether it be about relationships, sex or school. I want to provide them with helpful information on life. That’s my main focus.
Hi Lisa
I’m new in marketing on internet.I not know where to start and with what.I need money for my children and my Wife.Please help me thank you .kindly
Hello Lisa,
I’m retired and I like to make short animated movies. I have to pay for the assets that I use. because of my limited income, I need to make some money by advertising. I don’t have a blog, but have a You Tube page. Can I get any tips from you?

Awesome, as a beginning blogger and a fellow WOC, it’s really great to hear stories like yours. Launching my first real blog soon, after being inspired by the earnings of a few niche practice sites I put together. Hoping to do as well as you are!
Hey Lisa:
I have been following your site for over 2 years and appreciate all of your up-to-date information. I have been integrating social media with my SBI static website to create both an encyclopedia approach to stress management and a news approach to stress management. Thanks for all of your help. Your videos are awesome.

Thanks Ann! I really appreciate your loyal following and you always take the time to comment. Don’t think that goes without notice. Appreciate ya!

Great Post Lisa. Your Website is awesome. there is a lot to learn
Hi Lisa,
I started watching your youtube videos and i was very impressed with your presentation and your experience–you provide very very good content.
I am student, and my major is art, entertainment, and media management-i know you probably never heard of it lol. I really want to start a blog that can help make my personal portfolio stand out…and maybe make me a few bucks to help with college and living expenses. What specific things should i be focused on?
Hello Lisa, I came across your video on you tube, just want to state that I like your content that is provided.

Hello Lisa, Like so i have devoted a great deal of time and effort developing my advertising websites,blogs and affiliate marketing links on the internet since 2007. Have had some success with Google adsense. But nothing to approach those levels. Please visit http://make-some-money-ltd.com/home.php click on “Nothing But Ads” to consider even more internet exposure. Thanks, James J. Owner/publisher [email protected]
nice journey Lisa to make money online i also think look like this about leave my job 9-5.
OMG Lisa! Allow me to be one of your student here! I’m very new to website/blog monetization and i found your site to be beneficial to all my needs specially with adsense earnings. I’ve been blogging since 2009 and have no luck. My earnings are just 0.01 and its so far far far from your adsense daily earning! Now, I see you as the master of the master hehe. I’ve subscribe to you so I will get updated to all of your blogs that would help me a lot. Can I ask you a question regarding my adsense earnings that never process for almost 5 months?
Good to find you online. You’re an inspiration!
Hi lisa i am from Indonesia,after i visit your web i try to make one and i did but just 1 simple blog http://just4sharring.blogspot.com/ and now i try to make a website like u told wiss me good luck,,and thank you by the way you’re very inspiring woman….
Hi Lisa, I think you are just remarkable. I started watching your videos in awe. (I too always wanted to teach and write). I hear you and I get what you’re saying, however, what about writers? I have some work published if you will at:http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/1574752/delilah_peek.html please check me out…I am new at all of this and haven’t a clue as to what I’m doing!! Any advice on writers for websites?
Hi Lisa I have been following your work for a number of years now with great admiration.
I am happy to see the great following you have created from your willingness to freely share with others.
I wish ongoing success for you and all of your students!
I’ve signed up
and I want to be able to design your blog such as

Your story is inspiring. I have my own website and I would love the opportunity to interview for a piece on my site
Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Lisa, since I discovered your Website back in 2008, I’ve kept close watch on your progress and success with your site. You have always posted great content and offered fantastic tips on making money online.
I’ve noticed you never failed to encourage and support others in their Web endeavors. And for that, you are valiant, caring, and extraordinarily creative with influential knowledge and experience.
I am only days away from actually launching my new Web site, and it’s important I let you know that I’ve learned a great deal from your awesome creativity. Keep doing what you are doing for others, and God will continue to bless you.
Take care!
Wow! Thanks Kevin. I really appreciate you stopping by to say that. I wish you all the success in the world!
Hi Lisa,
I’ve been a loyal follower of yours for years now and always appreciate the new blog posts and videos, but guess I’ve never left a comment on your About Us page yet. Weird, huh?
I was surprised to see that your comment list begins with the oldest posts first, whereas I was sure I read somewhere on this site or another of yours, that it’s best to list the newest comments first and have the old stale ones at the bottom. Was I mistaken on that issue?
And your Sharebar, is that Digg Digg, or another one? Could you do a blog post on the new share bars, please?
Hi Cathryn,
You are probably right about the comment thing. Not really sure why I haven’t changed that…other than it not being a priority.
My sharebar is the Sharebar plugin. Thanks for stopping by.
Hello lisa
my favourite nobel lady. one thing that i want to tell u is i love you.for your work

Hi Lisa
I want to know how can i build traffic in
my site?What is the most essential needs in
affiliate marketing?How can i get affiliate on my site?
I will be happy if you give me answer
Hi Lisa
I am impresses by the clarity and helpfulness of your site
I am keen to start off in the world of Internet marketing and I would appreciate your thoughts as to the best way do getting a start
My computer knowledge is limited however I am keen and I have been moderately successful at offline marketing
I have played around with WordPress and can do the absolute basics
I believe that I have the ability to market to a niche I am passionate about. Are there online materials or courses I should look at?
Thanks again for your enthusiasm
Bernard
Hi Bernard
Computer knowledge is not needed. My secret to success has been helping people on topics I am knowledgeable on. So if you make that your primary focus and choose a niche you love to write about you are off to a great start. Have you read my guide yet? http://www.2createawebsite.com/money/make-money-tutorial.html
how many audience i need to apply for ad sense?
Hey Lisa! Great site. A real treasure trove of information all in one spot. This is something I would really love to do but I need to take babysteps first i guess. I have only dabbled in website creation – took a course, have done some reading but never actually created a live site. I have always had an interest though. What would be your suggestion as to what I should learn first? Would it be best to learn HTML code, learn WordPress or something else. My goal would be to have have a site or two that I could earn some extra income off of. Not sure of my topic yet – still doing some research. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Carla
Hi Lisa. I just discovered your Youtube videos and they’ve been informative. I have a question for you.
If you were starting today and had to create a site to make money, what would you focus on? The reason I’m asking is because there is so much information dealing with adsense, affiliate marketing, blogs, sites, adwords and more.
I know technology has changed since 1998 and I want to focus on what looks promising.
Thanks
Steven
Hi Steven
I actually started another site in 2010 and it’s doing very well. http://www.napturallycurly.com I followed the same principle – focus on helping people first. Forget about trying to make money at first. Develop a unique angle on your topic and over deliver.
Technology has changed, but the concept hasn’t. The way we market our sites of course has changed but I continue to use the same strategy. People still go online looking for help, tutorials, advice, etc. and they want credible sources. Find a topic that allows you to help a specific audience and you’ll be fine.
Oh and I forgot to add, once your site has traffic THEN you start focusing on monetizing. After all, you won’t make anything until you have a few hundred visitors per day anyway. I think where so many people go wrong is they get so caught up in affiliate marketing, adsense, etc. But once you have the traffic FIRST monetization is very easy because you have the audience to monetize.
Hi Lisa,
I just got involved in trying to do affiliate marketing. So I got hosting through Goddady and also got a account with Aweber.com. The thing I’m having difficulties with is the squeeze page. I’m trying to create a New form on that squeeze page and took the codes that was created from Aweber and try to edit it into the HTML squeeze page. It just ain’t working out. Is there something you could help me out with, of course for a fee. Sorry…I’m confused. I didn’t realize I had to set this up by myself and don’t want to quit what I started.
Please if you have a chance, you can contact me at [email protected]
Thanks again
Ernest M.
Hi Lisa,
i have look at some of the content of your site ,and they have help me a lot.it seem to me that you have come along ways ,i don’t know if and will you help me ,but i tell you the truth i just started about 3 months ago i wonder if you would take a look at my site and give me some points on how and what to do to get a high ranking
Hi Lisa,
Can u help me out making my own bolg n earning money from tht blog.I completed my engineering n looking for job.I have some programs which r important for interviews.i want to keep this programs in my blog n earn some money,for this i want some help.Pls message me to my mail id
I have an M.S. in Speech Pathology from Bradly University and recently finished a career working with severely involved autistic students in a private facility.
I am also a writer with a nearly completed manuscript which will teach parents how to help youngsters who are struggling with Reading. The focus involves combining phonemic awareness skills with oral-muscle memory, strategies which I developed in early elementary education.
My problem, up to this point, has been how to move into my new career, using the internet to teach and make money.
When I came across your website a few months ago, it just seemed a perfect fit for for my goals and interests. I have been reading your material and am very comfortable with it and your approach to helping people like me.
There is someting in your writing, Lisa, that simply “rings true.”
I’ve signed up for your e-mail and continue to wade through the background data I so desperately need to get going.
My wife, who is a corporate manager with a major telecommunication company links up college graduates with very well paying jobs. However, you seem to have developed a very successful and exciting
real-world career without getting caught up in business education programs.
So, I’ve got the money and the time to invest in your affiliate products that will help me.
Right now, though, I am depending upon your website and blogging information to get me started.
Thanks.
I am impressed with that.
I am impressed with that!
Thanks Maurice,
It may take some time to settle in and figure out what method works best for you, but if you have the desire to teach, that will take you far. Good luck!
God bless you Lisa, I am very much thankful with the sharing you’ve done for us. I’m also very much amazed on how were you able to do it all. Anyway, that’s your gift, keep using it for good. How I wish to follow your footsteps but I doubt if I could also do that. Maybe I need a lot talents to roll the wheel and keep it movin’. Honestly, I got encouraged by your articles to also earn by that NWS. Hope you’re always there to guide me. Thanks a lot for the ideas you’ve shared.
Hi Lisa
I’m very interested in creative writing and have alot of my background info and books etc on my site: http://www.shangwe.com – however, although I designed my website myself, it doesn’t get alot of traffic – I am passionate about the written word, poetry, stories and really need to create a niche website that will evolve and encourage traffic. I also write on two blogs: http://www.shawana-lulu.blogspot.com & http://www.shangwe2011.blogspot.com – these are my hobbies but now I think my next move is to create a site! Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi Nicole,
Sites on poetry or stories are often more challenging to draw traffic to. Websites that solve problems or teach someone something new are easier (relatively) to build traffic because helpful sites build loyalty and people will return for more. Think of a topic that will allow you to be the authority and help others who may know less than you.
Hi Lisa,
Many thanks – yes, you’re right poetry etc is more challenging – so I’ll take your advice and think of a relevant topic, like how to start writing that novel, etc,
Hi Lisa,
I am very much thankful with the sharing you’ve done for us.Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hello Lisa, I came across your video on you tube, just want to state that I like your content that is provided.

Admire you so much, I have a blog for 2 years now but earn only about USD2 per day.
Hi. My name is Alain. I watched your videos and enjoyed them, really inspirational. I would like to know, for a young guy in South Africa like me, what’s the best starting point to creating a website and have it running? Yes, you talked about the domain name registration and I understood. But in case I do have my own files and need to run PHP scripts and have a server that I can control, what are the appropriate step to be taken after building the site in my PC??? I’m a lil confused as to what to do first, so your guidance will be great help. Blessings. Have a good one.
Hey there! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to
fix this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share.
Thank you!
great inspiring for me…i have been publisher on adsense 2 year…but i don’t get 100$/day from adsense…but,after wtch your video and your article…i believe to get 100$ and more….thanks for your sharing mrs.Lisa….!
Great blog here! Also your site loads up fast! What host are you using?

LOL, I have dedicated hosting with Hostgator http://www.2createawebsite.com/hostgator
good job Lisa
What’s up everybody, here every person is sharing such familiarity, so it’s good to read this weblog, and
I used to pay a visit this weblog all the time.
Hi Lisa!
I’m Adam Nguyen, I’m from Vietnam.
I’m learing English and make money online, I found your blog via youtube.
I really enjoy reading your posts.
Keep up good work!
Hello Lisa, Again,
First I want to say good job on your business. I read some of the post on here about 2 years ago to the date. Now I find myself on your site again for the same reason I was on back in 2010 and that is to start my own online business. All of a sudden I seen the post I put up back in 2010. OMG. Here I figured my voice would go unheard and I see my name and to top it off I read more and seen that you do answer the post put up by various poeple. So here I am again with the same reasons I was so involved before-YOU ARE GENUINE. So now at sqaure one. I have an idea of what i want to do but after reading your post I seen that teaching people seems to be the niche to start with. As of now I have nothing. No website, no blog, Just an idea. Where do I start. What is my next step? (stupid question=are these post considered a blog?) Now i truly have showed my stupidity right, but can you please let me know.
Hello Lisa,
I really love these kind of success stories that prove one can earn a living online, without making compromises. You are the perfect example than anyone can start a small site and make it a great business, just by having a good plan and adding great unique content on a regular basis.
I wish you all the best.
Julian King
I like your site a lot Lisa. Found some very useful tutorials
Dear Lisa: Need some help. In ref to a promotions via this blogg, promoting a publications called “Niche Website Success” by Lisa Irby. Ref: click bank marketplace($29). Considering an Ad campange , including more traffic/visitors to my sites. Is it possiable to reduce the asking price as a reseller by dealing direct. And can one offer an PDF file download via such as E-Bay ect.? http://www.mostforfree.com Thanks, James J
Hi Lisa,
You have been a true inspiration to me.. I never knew I could even start a site until I came across your site. Thank you so much for inspiring me. God bless you.
Best regards,
Lisa Joshua
I have been reading the comments on this article… Lisa. you must be doing a few things right in more ways than one…. Based on the nature of the comments on this article your readers love your approach to your articles and the message that you are conveying in your posts. Considering that people are still commenting on this article after a couple years indicates how great your posts are. I congratulate you on your approach.!
Way To go Lisa….
Hard work and sacrifice always seems to pay off in the end. As we can plainly see, you are a prime example of that. Unfortunately, many people today fail to take full advantage of great opportunities to succeed and perhaps fulfill their dreams simply because they lack motivation or they are not ambitious enough. To many of them, “opportunity” disguises itself as hard work. Keep on fulfilling your dream Lisa by continuing to feed the masses and we’ll see you at the top!
Lisa, I really enjoy your blog posts because they always offer great tips for traffic building. I also like how natural you are in your YT videos when speaking. I hope to apply your tips to make better use of Youtube also. Thanks Lisa and keep it coming!!
Love your style Lisa, it’s so natural the viewpoints that you share a very pratical. Nice job keep up the good work. Could you help me with my business? Your teaching abilities are excellent and I could very well use
some of the tactics that you display. Please, I would really love to talk to you. I can be contacted via email at
[email protected]. Thanks once again for your help thus far.
Lisa you are a great creative person and I love your website and how you make money online
if you can I would love for you to stay in touch with
I love how you put st much hard work with your website.
me.:)
Lisa just for a quick question not to be rude but is it necessary to pay for a website?
It’s not necessary but it’s recommended. I never suggest free hosts because you don’t own the content and the site can be removed at any time.
Hey Lisa, thanks for being such an inspiration to all of us bloggers. I heart your videos.
I am tryig to create a web log on WP, i’m employing a free theme. I actually have become compleely stuck. i’d prefer to modify the theme a little if doable. I hoping somebody might facilitate Maine with this. i’m HTML/CSS illiterate.
Thank you
hi lisa,
i am designing a website related to computer and hacking. it will have some hacking tips and tricks.it will also have some cracks and all….so is there a possibility that google will reject my approval for adsense….also i want to know what are CPM and CTR ads, and your site is just awesome, it was so helpful to me……plz reply as early as possible……thanks in advance….
I would imagine Google would have a problem with this content. I know they don’t allow Adult/Porn sites so I would imagine the ethical issue with hacking would cause an issue.
Dear Lisa,
You recommened genesis theme for web desgning but its costing me $80. So is there any other good theme at an average cost. Also i want to know how to get ads on my website directly from whom who want to adversite. Suppose if i dont want to use google adsense or any other similar sites for getting ads, but i want to find adversiters who want to advertise on my site and what are their eligibility criteria???? In short i want direct adversting sales for my website. Plz provide me information regarding the same.
There are many good premium themes for less. Check out Elegant Themes or ThemeForest.
There are plugins like OIO Publisher and other free plugins that will allow you to sell ads from your sidebar, etc. Sign up with BuySellAds.com and they will help you find advertisers. There’s also a plugin for them that will make implementation easier.
thnx lisa….
Hi lisa,
i am designing a website, so first i am registering domain name in websitepalace as you suggested and and am using the same for web hosting and i have to go to wordpress for designing my website(correct me if am wrong). So, do i have to even pay there to wordpress??? and i want to use genesis theme so after completing above steps do i have to buy that theme???? suggest me if i am going wrong anywhere in the above steps and if i am correct even tell that.
My second query is——-
i saw an option in websitepalace for SEARCH ENGINE VISIBILITY on this page “http://store.websitepalace.com/search-engine/seo-services.aspx?ci=1808&prog_id=2create”
so do i have to buy their scheme for increasing traffic on my website and for search engine visibility and are they of any use??????. Also,if i have to i want to go by “PREMIUM”. Is it good.
Please reply to my queries, i am too confused.
Thanks.
Hi Adi, yes after you install the WordPress software thru your hosting account, you need to buy Genesis and follow the instructions for installing the theme onto WordPress.
You don’t have to buy the Visibility. That’s only an option. You can learn about SEO on your own. I have a ton of info on http://www.2createawebsite.com/traffic
So after paying the hosting fees do i have to again pay to wordpress????and wat does one time purchase means in genesis????
No, the hosting fee includes a free WordPress installation.
Hi Lisa
I love your tips about word press, SBI! and site building. they are indeed dustless and up to the
minute without any hype i wish you can keep up the spirit.
Thanxs to your referrer (your free E-book Untold…ad..facts) which had a link that directed me to
this blog and believe you me i have spent around 3 hrs going around your blog where i was moved by 2 of your pages i.e the one comparing word press to SBI and the wonderfully made CONTACT LISA page which have intrigued my commenting here.
First of i happen to be new entrant online and a new entrant at site sell owning a baby site supplementsgallery.com which is running for its fifth month without a about us/me page! so please allow me to offend you by asking you for tips for building an attractive about me page.
thanx again and have a good day
JAMIL
I honestly enjoy your website. I can see the reason for your success. Your writing is straight to the point and inciteful. You should be proud of yourself!
i compared the hosting prices of website palace and godaddy and founded that godaddy offers same facilities which websitepalce offers at half the price. So is it worth going for godaddy????
and is PRIVATE DOAMIN REGISTRATION AND CERTIFIED DOMAIN REGISTRATION necessary?????
is it possible to switch to other hosting sites later ????
Lisa, I like what you’re doing; however, I wonder why you’re promoting Genesis. I can’t find that it is any better than other so-called professional themes, and if fact, I can’t see where it is better than some of the free themes. Just would like your opinion.
Dean,
South Korea
Hiya Dean,
Great question. Of course there are tons of great free themes, BUT free themes often have HORRIBLE support (if it exists at all). I love that Genesis always keeps their themes up-to-date when WordPress updates their software, etc. I’ve been burned by outdated free themes in the past and I wouldn’t risk it.
Premium themes often have better code (great for SEO) and also more internal features than many of the free themes. But if you find one with great support and you are confident they will be there to help if your theme breaks with a sudden WordPress upgrade then by all means go for it.
hey liza,
keep a good work. direct me to how can i buy one of your t-shirts.
Go to http://www.zazzle.com/2createawebsite to buy.
great work !!!!! best of luck for your future
Hey lisa greats! good job and be luck!
Hi, Lisa, a great site, I always make sure to drop by and read your latest writings, thanks for all the information you have provided so far. Your post about huge traffic without backlinks proves that honest content is the key to success, keep rocking.!
hi lisa.
Greetings from Indonesia
Your blog inspires all.
Woooow, this is quite impressive. Your so full of knowledge. I reckon you must have been a bookworm to have so much information on your head…
. Nice stuff and keep up the good work, bless. I’m quite inspired no doubt.
Jessola
