2 Create a Website

About Lisa

158 comments

My name is Lisa Irby and I’m the webmaster of several sites and author of The Perfect Site Guide.

I have been involved in affiliate marketing since 1998 and working online full time since 2006.

By 2005, my Internet income was 4x’s the size of my 9 to 5 salary so I figured it was time to think about working for myself instead of someone else.

Notice I said I would think about working for myself, even though I was quadrupling my salary.

Most people would have quit their jobs long before I did. Some people thought I was nuts. But I’m pretty cautious when it comes to my finances, and wanted to make sure I had enough of a cushion before leaving the security of a 9 to 5, benefits, etc.

“So You Earn a Full-Time Living Blogging?”

Nope.

When people find this blog and discover that I make a full-time living online, many automatically assume it’s from this blog.  The truth is, this blog doesn’t make a lot of money.

I make most of my money from my website, 2 Create a Website through affiliate marketing (earning commissions by recommending products and services), AdSense (Google ads) and 3rd party sponsor ads.

2 Create a Website has helped thousands of beginners establish their presence online. I launched it in February, 2002 and it has been going strong ever since.

At the time, there were very few sites that explained the entire website creation process from start to finish and catered to beginners.

My goal was to break down the instructions in laymen’s terms so people wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed and lost in techie speak.

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.

On this blog you’ll find a selection of articles related to creating, promoting and monetizing blogs and websites.  I also do video Site Reviews from time to time so check them out!

Even though this blog has been around since 2006, I really didn’t take blogging seriously until January 2008 when I switched from Blogger to WordPress.

You can keep up with this blog by subscribing to its RSS feed or following me on Twitter.  I can also be found chatting it up on YouTube or administering my forum, WebsiteBabble.com.

About My Success

I’ll be the first to tell you, I’ve made tons of mistakes out here. I still make them. But I’m extremely grateful for every failure because without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

It’s less about the destination and more about the journey.

If I had to give one piece of advice out here it would be, enjoy yourself. There’s no way I’d be where I am today if this ever felt like work. What a blessing it is to look forward to “work” everyday.

Here’s another suggestion. Take the time to learn the basics of HTML and CSS. Don’t rely on someone else to maintain and update your site for you. I know it’s tempting to do, but it’s so worth the time to learn. Nothing like having the know-how and flexibility to do what you want, when you want it.

I’m no programmer, but I know enough to accomplish my goals. I’m so glad I took the time to educate myself on the basics.

Start by watching my 4-part CSS tutorial.  I even provide a free template and show you how to customize it.

I hope you enjoy my blog. Don’t forget to subscribe to my blog feed and also join my Web community at http://www.websitebabble.com. Look forward to chatting with you.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

33 lisa April 27, 2008 at 11:52 am

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,

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!

36 lisa May 1, 2008 at 10:55 pm

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.

37 lailah May 2, 2008 at 10:40 am

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!

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.

Reply

49 lisa June 11, 2008 at 11:03 am

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.

Thanks so much MJ, I appreciate it.

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

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,
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

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 :-D

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

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!

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

Reply

83 lisa April 12, 2009 at 8:27 pm

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.

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.

Reply

101 lisa July 2, 2009 at 12:01 pm

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

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.

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.

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

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. :)

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
