Why you need to build a website?&lt;/strong>&lt;/span> &lt;/span>&lt;br />&lt;span style="font-size:85%;">&lt;/span>&lt;br />&lt;ul>&lt;li>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;">&lt;strong>Personal Interest&lt;/strong>&lt;br />Are you creating the site because you see your friends are all running their own sites? Or you want to share your personal hobbies, photos, music and favorite games walk through with others who have the same interests like what you do?&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;">&lt;strong>Special Moments of Life&lt;/strong>&lt;br />Are you building the website because you want to capture some special moments of your life (for example: &lt;/span>&lt;a href="http://www.behappytogether.com">&lt;span style="font-size:85%;">a wedding website&lt;/span>&lt;/a>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;">)?&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;">&lt;strong>Business&lt;/strong>&lt;br />Are you trying to expand your business horizon by selling your products globally on the internet?&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;">&lt;strong>Making money and extra income through internet&lt;/strong>&lt;br />Are you setting up the website because you want to earn extra income? If possible, create the multiple streams of incomes like what other internet marketing gurus have done, securing incomes that can help you achieve financial independent quickly (yes, there are plently of successful cases on the internet, such as: )&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;/ul>&lt;p>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;">&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;">&lt;strong>You must start with an end in mind:&lt;/strong>&lt;/span> to visualise what you want to achieve at the end of the day. Do not start building a site without a rough idea what is the purpose. Else, you are just wasting your time, tend to buy difficult-to-understand computer books, learning unnessary programming languages, buying expensive self study audio guides, ebooks, softwares, signing up white elephant hosting plan that cost you hundreds of dollars every year (oh yes, they will tell you it is &lt;em>just&lt;/em> $14.99 per month when you sign up) and finally losing focus and interest in internet before you leave your website abandoned to expire.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;">&lt;/span> &lt;/p>&lt;/div></description><link>http://www.behappytogether.com/blog/2006/07/first-thing-first-why-you-need-to.html</link><author>CreateAWebsiteGuide</author></item></channel></rss>
