Hi Lisa…I stumbled across your website today and after hearing you talk about Site Build it…I cancelled my homestead account…I look forward to visiting your site again and hopefully talking to you more.

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!

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

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.

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,

thanks

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 maxprise@yahoo.com.

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!
