Hello, I just want to thank and commend you for posting such valuable and insightful infromation on how to start a website. Im now eager to start putting together my own fitness site; however, once Im done with the creative process and its ‘all systems go’ what is the best way to promote, or make my site known?

2 lisa May 23, 2009 at 5:07 pm: Hi Benjamin,

There are hundreds of ways to promote your site. Forums (related to your topic), social networking sites, search engines (learn SEO), article marketing, YouTube, create e-books and give them away, the list goes on. You have to experiment with various avenues and stick with the ones that give you the best results. Good luck!

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for getting back to my email earlier, but I thought this question might help some of your other readers as well.

As I’m pondering which direction to go online, I’m still confused as to which would be better: a website or blog.

Ultimately, I would end up having something that has posts, affiliate links (eventually – after targeted traffic is coming in), forums, pics, videos (maybe) etc.

It seems the Thesis theme will allow you to do all of the above as a website would and you just need to have sufficient hosting?

Can you elaborate on the advantages of having a website over a blog and vice-versa or is it really not that relevant anymore, depending on your topic and content?

Thanks again for your help and advice!

First of all, I’d suggest you watch my Blog or Website video because it says a lot that I would say to you now.

Basically you can make a lot of money with either, but your decision should be based on how you want to structure your content.

Blogs are definitely much more dynamic (meaning you can arrange and publish content in different ways. i.e. sort content by most commented posts, category, etc.). You can do that with a website too but it would take more coding.

Hi Lisa,

I want to create a website. As I don’t know much about programming I think of using a CSS template recommended in your e-book. I also want to make money with Google ads and affiliate marketing. Which kind of templates do recommend? Two column or three column templates?

Thanks,
Ion

I have been to your site, and it is pretty good.

I especialy like your “How to make money out of AdSense”.

I hope I have the option to do so on my blog ( http://www.blog.christopher-roberts.co.uk/Technology/ ), as I think I have followed most of your tips!

Thanks Lisa
