The Easiest Way to Get More Paying Clients and Earn 65% Higher Fees Is Having Your Very Own Freelance Website
My Simple “Do-It-Yourself” Step-By-Step System Will Take You from “Not Knowing” to “Ready to Launch!” in Only 4 Days!
Dear Writer,
It’s a question I hear all the time…
Do I really need a freelance website?
A few years ago, I would have said, “It depends.” Or, “Maybe you can ‘get by’ without one”…
But even then, I would have told you: “You’ll be at a huge disadvantage.”
And today? If you still don’t have your own website? Well, you’re missing out on new clients and paying projects every single day.
In fact, a new report on freelancing trends just released from Hubstaff confirms that showcasing your writing on your own website can dramatically increase the rates you earn…
Just how much more money are we talking?
The study followed 17,000 freelancers and found that those who had their own websites are able to charge an average of 65% more than freelancers without a website.
Think about it…
Your website is THE place for potential clients to learn more about you and your writing services. It’s your storefront, office, business card, brochure, and more — all in one. Plus, a website makes it easy for potential clients to contact you and hire you.
Without a website, potential clients are very likely to go to another freelancer’s website… taking your project — and project fee — with them.
And, this isn’t just my theory either. A survey by RainToday.com found that 97% of clients say a provider's website holds influence over their ultimate decision to buy services from the provider. (That means nearly ALL of your potential clients will expect to see your website.)
I’m not talking about small businesses here either…
The people surveyed are responsible for more than $1.7 billion in professional services purchased — including things like copywriting, marketing, advertising, public relations, and training services.
That’s a lot of money hinging on whether or not you have a website…
But, these days any ol’ website won’t cut it. You need a professional website that presents you as someone who takes your business seriously…
Present Yourself as a True Professional and Make Professional Fees
Rebecca Matter
My name is Rebecca Matter and I’m the President of AWAI. As a marketer with two decades of experience in publishing and direct-marketing, there’s something I’ve found to be true:
By nature, marketers — like me (and your clients) — are skeptical people.
But, sending clients to your professional freelance website will put them at ease. They’ll be able to explore your website and content at their leisure and discover that you’re a true professional. (Don’t worry if you don’t feel like one yet. I’ll help you fix that!)
When you have a professional website, clients will also be able to see the quality of writing they can expect from you and that you know what you’re doing… and take your career seriously.
Because of all this, they’ll expect to pay you professional fees.
So, yes — your website impacts your credibility, determines the projects you get, the clients you work with, and the rates you earn…
There’s just no getting around it. Whether you’re selling a product or service, providing information, or marketing yourself as a B2B specialist, resume writer, financial copywriter, PR specialist — or especially if you’re offering any kind of web writing — you NEED a professional website!
So, why don’t you have one? Over my years of working with writers, I’ve discovered there are likely five hurdles holding you back.
The good news is, every one of them is easy to overcome. Let me show how…
Website Hurdle #1: I don’t know what to write!
Sure, it’s true that the majority of your website will be words. But, you don’t have to figure everything out right now. Building a website is a process… and going through that process will help you answer questions about yourself and your services, like:
- Who is my ideal client?
- What niche do I enjoy?
- How can I impress my potential clients?
You don’t have to know everything to start… and none of your decisions are permanent.
So, take it one step at a time and everything will become clearer. (Plus, once your website is up and running, you’ll be able to easily add new content or change directions.)
Honestly, building a website is so important that it should be “Step #1” on every freelancer’s to-do list.
If you’re hung up on choosing a niche, type of writing, or anything else… building your website will bring you clarity. So, don’t let these things hold you up. Let’s get started and make the decisions along the way…
But first, I want to cover a few more hurdles you might be facing when it comes to launching your (essential) freelance website…
Website Hurdle #2: I can’t write about myself or my services.
I get it. It’s tough to write about yourself. Especially if you were raised to be modest. Talking about yourself might feel like “bragging.” But remember, it’s not really about you…
Your website is about your clients. The problems they’re having… the solutions they’re looking for… and what you can do to help them.
And, you don’t need pages of content about yourself to launch a website. You can start with a few paragraphs and add more over time.
The same goes for your experience. If that happens to be your hurdle, start small…
Website Hurdle #3: I haven’t had a paying client… yet!
If you haven’t yet had a paying client, it can be hard to put yourself out there, represent yourself as a professional, and ask for professional fees. I get it.
But, if you’ve acquired the skills, you ARE a professional. Even if you’ve never had a paying client.
Think about a dentist…
He goes to school and gets his degree. He then rents an office, puts up a website, prints off some flyers, and opens his door for business.
Do you think he promotes the fact that he has zero experience working on real paying patients? No. He’s done the training. He has the skills. And he doesn't want his patients fearing his ability because they’re his “first.”
The same is true with your writing business. Even if you don’t have any samples…
Website Hurdle #4: I don’t have writing samples
No problem!
You might be worried about getting samples if you haven’t had clients yet. But, when clients ask for samples, what they really want to see are samples of your writing ability… this includes your website!
Prospective clients want to see what your writing voice is like, and if you have a good understanding of their target market and the type of copy they need.
In most cases, your website will be more than enough to impress potential clients. It is, after all, a wonderful “living sample” of your writing.
Website Hurdle #5: I’m NOT technical.
That’s okay!
Advancements in technology now make it very simple to launch a website. Ten years ago, you would have had to hire someone to do it for you, and it was expensive. Plus, you were tied to them every time you wanted to make a change… you were at the mercy of their schedule and had to pay for it.
But these days, you can do-it-yourself. Even the least technical people can put up their own website. (Just ask my mom!)
Creating a website is even easier when I walk you through it, step-by-step…
And, it’s fast too!
I’ll show you how to go from “nothing” to “ready to launch” in only four days!
No matter what has held you back before, here’s the easiest, fastest way to build your website…
Introducing AWAI's “Build Your Freelance Website in Four Days Webinar Series”
“One of the best decisions I’ve made for my business…”
“The training series was wonderful — it gave me not only the confidence, but also the tips and tricks to build my website on my own. From suggestions on hosting to detailed site design suggestions, this truly is a 'build your website in a box' program. You won't regret it — completing this program was one of the best decisions I've made for my business to date.
“My website has absolutely brought in some big clients and had a large impact on my career. For example, when I first chose my niche of hospitality, travel, and tourism for my copywriting freelance business, my website convinced a hotel chain to hire me for a project.”
— Laura LaChapelle
Joppa, Maryland
“Easy to understand and … fun, as well …”
“AWAI has taught me a great deal. I was struggling with building my own website for some time. I finally decided to hire a designer because the trial-and-error method was too time-consuming. When I learned about the Webinar Series, I went back to building it myself. I am enjoying the experience. AWAI makes it easy to understand the process and makes it fun, as well.”
— Loraine Degraff

If you don’t have a freelance website yet…
Or if the website you have isn’t as professional as you’d like…
Or if it’s not consistently bringing you qualified leads to do business with…
I want to help you!
From start to finish, I’ll show you EVERYTHING you need to create your professional freelance website in four sessions.
Now, just so there’s no misunderstanding:
This is not a series of webinars on the “theory” of building a website. It’s not a “sit back and watch” kind of thing.
This program — which we call, Build Your Freelance Website in Four Days — is very much a hands-on, instructional series.
You’ll follow along with me (step-by-step) and actually build your very own freelancer’s website. I’ll walk you through everything from planning and writing your website content, to making all the technical decisions about your domain name, hosting, and more, to actually putting up your website and launching it. At the end of four sessions — just one hour each day — you’ll have your own website ready to show off to clients. Let me repeat that because it’s so important:
You’ll be up and running with your site fast. Not months or weeks from now. But in just a few days!
Not only that, but you’ll be excited and extremely proud to show off your new website to everyone.
And, probably best of all, your website will be specifically designed to attract the kind of high-paying clients you’re looking for!
But, before we go any further — let me assure you…
There’s Nothing to Fear
60-year-old “non-techie” embraces change and launches new website.
“This was an exciting and empowering experience. Although I had challenges, being almost 60 years old and a non-techie, I was able to meet them head-on and it was exhilarating to overcome most of them. It was equally exciting to watch as my attitude changed from a fearful one to a 'can do' attitude. My breakthrough moment came when Rebecca did the additional seminar on selling yourself. This really inspired me, and made me think about all the positive reasons for selling myself. Thank you, AWAI, for this Webinar Series and for giving me this opportunity to embrace change!”
— Anita Byrd-Petts
Knoxville, Tennessee
I promise you, this series is not technical… and it’s not scary at all.
I bet you’ll even be surprised just how easy it is with my step-by-step guidance…
That’s because I’ve been told that one of my greatest strengths is my ability to communicate highly technical information in a very non-technical and non-intimidating way.
So, if you know how to point and click a mouse, you’ll be able to build your website with ease.
It doesn't matter if you're on a PC or a Mac… a laptop or a desktop… you can have your website up and running over the course of these four sessions. You won’t have to pay thousands or wait for some “web guy” to build your website for you either.
Instead, you’ll be able to do anything you want to your own website!
- Want to add a blog? No problem — I’ll show you that.
- Need to have a form to collect leads? It couldn’t be easier once I show you the simple steps.
- What about adding a video to your homepage? That’s easy too — just a few clicks and you’ll be done…
Once your new website is online, I’ll also show you how to attract qualified clients and make sure people who should find you are able to.
But, that’s just a tiny part of what we’ll do together…
Believe me when I say: With this series, you’ll have everything you need to build and launch a fully functional, professional looking, credibility-establishing website — in the quickest, most cost-effective way.
I’ll Help You Build an Impressive Freelance Website (In Only Four Days)
My name is Rebecca Matter and I run the “Web” side of things here at AWAI.
Over the years, I’ve put together dozens of websites — not only for AWAI, but also for friends, AWAI members, and myself. Plus, I’ve taught hundreds of AWAI members to build and launch their own websites.
I’m also lucky to know a whole bunch of brilliant web experts… people who taught me to get through the “technical stuff.”
I developed this four-day training series eight years ago and here are some of the typical samples of the unsolicited testimonials I’ve received…
“Easy to understand”
“Rebecca, You made a complex subject, setting up a website, easy to understand. Plus, you smoothly covered all you had planned within the hour each day. Thanks so much for all you do.”
Stefan A.
“Geared toward the non-techie…”
“I found the Webinar Series to be quite complete and geared toward the non-techie. It is a step-by-step approach that ensures success and provides encouragement along the way. The hardest part was getting the content written.”
— Kurt Schwacke
klscopywriting.com
Take it from Kurt, you don’t need to worry about the “technical” side of setting up your website… we’ll walk you through every little detail… (And writing the content will actually be easy too. More on that in a moment.)
Step-By-Step Directions —
In a Language You Can Understand
“Once I had a website … I started getting paying assignments!”
“It wasn't until I signed up for the Build Your Freelance Website in Four Days Webinar Series that my career really went into high gear. It had a competition (with a deadline), so I knew it was the perfect thing to push me to take action. In August, I won the 2011 Build Your Very Own Freelance Website Competition!
"I remember the way I felt when I launched that website. I was terrified someone would find it and want to hire me, but I knew I couldn’t hide forever. My site was live, and there was no turning back now.
"Once I had a complete website declaring I was a writer, I believed it myself. I started reaching out to clients and getting paying assignments!"
— Christina Gillick

During this series, I’ll teach you everything you need to know in a way that’s very simple to grasp. In fact, I’ll assume you know nothing about setting up and launching your own website.
And I mean nothing: zero… zilch… nada.
You’ll get instructions one baby step at a time for creating a beautiful (and professional) website in only four days.
Here are a few of the things you’ll discover — no tech knowledge required. Find out how to:
- Get your website online, including the “platform” I recommend you use… how to choose a domain name… and how to decide which hosting option is best for you…
- Add new content, pages, and posts, whenever you want to — even scheduling them to publish in the future.
- Customize your website and make it unique to your brand, even if you know nothing about web design…
- Flip the switch and take your website “live”…
- And most importantly, how to make sure your website shows up on the internet for everyone to find — even if you know nothing about search engines or SEO.
You’ll also find out how to update your website from anywhere with an internet connection — literally! It can even be updated from the beach, with a smartphone or tablet.
And, of course, I’ll walk you through exactly what to write on all those pages…
The Words on Your Website Can Make or Break It!
“Made it much easier to get up and running …”
“Thanks, Rebecca, for the very insightful and nugget-filled Build Your Website in Four Days Webinar Series. Wow! What a load of information to digest! You did a wonderful job, very complete presentation, and best of all, it is all recorded so I can play it back and make notes. Thanks for your kind attention to detail and for all the wonderful help in your webinar. It will make it much easier to get up and running now that your content was so clear.”
— Gary B.
A website just isn’t a website without words — especially if you’re a writer!
That’s why we’ll spend plenty of time showing you exactly what your website should SAY — no matter what niche you’re in. Here’s just some of what you’ll see in this session:
- The exact “content” that will make your website stand out above all the rest.
- My own powerful strategies for writing website content that attracts prospective clients to your brand-new website… and converts them into paying clients.
- How to write your website content if you’re just starting out and have zero samples and little to no experience.
There’s more, a lot more. But I’ll get to those details in just a moment.
First, let me put your mind at ease about another thing: The cost of building and maintaining your new website.
Build a Complete, Professional Website for Less Than $10 a Month!
“I can’t wait to show the world my site …”
“Thank you for the Webinar Series. Informative, simple, and above all else, inspiring. If someone can’t get up and running after that, then they don’t want it bad enough. I want it, and I want it bad.
"I can’t wait to show the world my site and start kicking some copy butt.”
— Michael P.
Building a website used to be expensive… The software, design costs, a developer if you needed one…
The expenses could really add up. Just consider the market average for someone to build a baseline website for you… it’s $1,000-$2,000 (according to InspiredMag).
For a freelancer who’s just starting out, that’s just not reasonable!
That’s why I’ll show you how to launch your own website for much, much less…
And, I’m not talking about a “cookie-cutter” single page website…
I’ll help you create an entire multipage website — including an impressive design, a unique domain name, your choice of colors, pictures, and a whole lot more…
When we’re finished, your website will go to work for you — attracting potential clients and convincing them to hire you — all for under $10 a month!
Plus, You’ll Save Thousands of Dollars… And Months of Your Valuable Time
As I mentioned, web designers and developers are expensive. I’m talking about $1,000-$2,000+ for a website much less impressive than the one I’ll show you how to build.
And researching everything you need to know — and then teaching yourself how to do it — is time-consuming and can be very frustrating. With so many options for building a website, you could easily spend weeks just trying to figure out the best route for you.
“I feel accomplished and richer!”
I thoroughly enjoyed the various media formats for instruction. The content was easy to understand, follow, and implement. I also got a kick out of how the process was chunked concisely into four days only. It put the pressure on thick and kept me accountable. I LOVED meeting the deadline. It feels like the first website that I have built correctly from start to finish. After trying to navigate it completely on my own, having this straightforward program really put the pieces together seamlessly. I feel accomplished and richer!”
— Megan Jenifer-Harris
Mesquite, Nevada
Then, add on a few months’ time for learning how to set up the website. Months you probably can’t afford to spend searching the internet and reading through books and guides trying to figure out what it takes to set up a professional-looking website.
Things like…
- What makes an effective homepage?
- What do clients expect to see when they visit your website?
- How should your design look?
- What colors work best?
- How often should you update it?
- What should you write about?
- And more…
With all this to figure out, I understand why you might be putting this off…
That’s why I’m about to erase every excuse you have.
It all begins with Session One…
Session One — The Look and Feel of Your Website
In this session, you’ll learn about the look of a professional freelancer’s website… and what clients expect to find when they get there.
I’ll show you using real-life examples — what makes a good (and bad) website, including how to…
“I’m thrilled …”
“I'm thrilled to finally have my website done. I've wanted to do it for a while, but the schedule and focus the Webinar Series gave me actually got me to do it.”
— Elisa Silverman
Jerusalem, Israel
- Build a brand and a primary message that radiates authority…
- Ensure the design of your website looks bold and impressive…
- Select the most effective design elements to use — including the pros and cons of photos and graphics…
- Optimize your website for social media and multimedia…
- And even choose colors that attract the eye best and are proven to keep clients on your website longer…
By the end of this session, you’ll know exactly what elements your freelance website should have and how it should look — including its structure, layout, and colors.
Session Two — Extraordinary Content for Your Website
Our next session is all about filling your website with extraordinary content!
After all, the words on a website can make or break it!
That’s why I’m designating plenty of time to show you exactly what your website should SAY — no matter what niche you’re in.
The words and pictures you choose for your website are what set you apart from other freelancers.
“I thank you from the depths of my heart …”
“Amazing to me as it is… JanetGrosshandler.com is up and running! I NEVER would have gotten this far without your program and encouragement.
“The Series was challenging and so full of information that I know I will keep going back to the slides and videos. Plus, the forum is SO helpful as others encountered similar obstacles.
“All-in-all, this program and especially YOU are the best! You hand-hold us through scary stuff and make the monsters go away. I thank you from the depths of my heart.”
— Janet Grosshandler
JanetGrosshandler.com
So, I’ll explain:
- Your content options, including my favorite techniques for getting plenty of “relevant” content for your website — without doing a ton of writing at first…
- My proven methods for writing compelling content that reflects you and your unique talents and skills. (Don’t worry if you don’t know what your talents and skills are — I’ll show you how to uncover them.)
- What pages your website should have and exactly what to say on each page…
- And more…
By the end of this fun session, you’ll have so many good, original ideas for credibility-building content. Your biggest problem will be deciding what order to write it all in!
Remember, you can always add more content later — after launch day.
The important thing right now is to get your website up and running with the basics, so you can start attracting paying clients fast!
Session Three — “Tech Stuff” Made Easy
“I’m proud of the website I built.”
“AWAI’s Build Your Freelance Website in Four Days Express Webinar Series taught me everything I needed to know to build my own website. I worked on it part-time for 21 days. I followed AWAI’s step-by-step instructions and ended up with a working, presentable website. I’m relieved to have overcome procrastination and I’m proud of the website I built.”
— Joe Roy
Meredith, New Hampshire
This is where we’ll take care of the technical aspects of building your website…
Just like I promised: you don’t need to know ANYTHING techie at all. You can trust me to lead you through — one baby step at a time…
Simply watch as the whole process unfolds on your computer screen, follow along with me, point, and click!
In this session, you’ll discover:
- The technology — also called a “platform” or “software” — you should use to build your website and why. (Yes, there’s a free option!)
- How to choose an effective domain name — also known as your “dot com” — and how to acquire it for your website.
- Which hosting options are available, which is best for you, and how to set up hosting for your website.
I know if you’ve never done this, it may sound complicated. But, believe me, it’s not.
Since I’m the one guiding you through this session, I can personally guarantee there won’t be any confusing tech speak.
Session Four — Put It All Together and Go Live!
Now I’ll show you how to put it all together, move your content onto your newly built website, and make any necessary tweaks and fixes.
“Very empowering … I learned a lot!”
“The Freelance Website in Four Days Series was very empowering. I had been stalled on my website for months and decided that I needed some coaching to help me get it up and running. The webinar provided this beyond my expectations with practical tips and information as well as motivation. I learned a lot!”
— Debra Hilton
Balwyn, VIC
When you’re ready, I’ll show you how to “flip the switch” and take your website live! When that happens, it’s time to celebrate because make no mistake about it…
This really is a big deal for you!
Not only does launching your website mean you’re “open for business” as a freelancer, but it shows the world you take what you do very seriously.
What’s more, you’ll gain valuable insight into the website-building process — a skill you’ll have forever.
You could go on to sell website building services to friends, family, business owners, or anyone who needs to do business online.
As I mentioned earlier, the market average for a baseline website is $1,000-$2,000 (according to InspiredMag). That’s just to build a website — not including the content.
To write the content, you could charge as much as $3,500 for the same style website we’ll build together in this Webinar Series!
This means — once you have your site up and running as a sample — you can do it again for another business owner… design the website and write the content… and pocket $4,500-$5,500 per website!
Every Website Question You Can Dream Up — Answered!
When you decide to build your freelance website with my team and me, we’ll be there every step of the way.
That means making sure you get every single question answered via the Build Your Freelance Website Facebook Group.
So, if you didn’t “catch” something, need a step explained in more detail, or are looking for specific advice or direction — we’ll be there for you. Simply write to us on the Facebook page and we’ll get back to you promptly.
Whatever you need… we’ve got you covered!
On top of that, I’m including a set of very special bonuses to make your website even stronger — both now and in the future…

Let’s Mark This Important Item Off Your To-Do List — Together!
When you sign up for this Webinar Series today, you’ll be taking care of an important piece of business that’s long overdue…
“Feels like I have taken a quantum leap …”
“Can't fault the course in any way. The amount of information provided was like drinking from a fire hose. Knowing that, the creators of the Series provide a 90-day timeline to complete it. I'd been thinking about a website for quite a while and now that it has been published, it feels like I have taken a quantum leap.”
— Chris Wilder
Cloverdale, California
You’ll finally create a website you can be proud of…
One that professionally — and effectively — sells your services to your ideal clients… and instantly puts YOU “on the map” as a pro!
When you launch your website, you’ll know — and the world will know — how serious you are about your freelance business…
That’s why NOW is the time to STOP everything else and get it done.
You’ll be up and running fast: in as little as four days! And, I promise to make the whole thing simple and easy to follow.
So — what’s your investment for this complete online experience?
Well, with everything we’ve packed into the Build Your Freelance Website in Four Days Webinar Series, we could easily charge a lot…
I mean, just consider for a moment what your professional, freelance website will mean to your career…
The confidence it will give you…
And the paying clients it will bring…
Some have even said finally marking this necessary item off your to-do list is priceless.
But let’s use real numbers, like the market average for someone to build a baseline website for you. Remember InspiredMag says that amount is $1,000-$2,000. But, that’s just to have someone build the website…
This figure doesn’t include the additional cost of hiring someone to maintain your website over the years and update it for you, which could run into hundreds of dollars a year or more.
That’s why it’s important to me that you have a chance to take advantage of this career-boosting Webinar Series, finally get your freelance website finished once and for all, and learn a valuable skill you can use again and again!
That’s why the Build Your Freelance Website in Four Days Webinar Series is normally only $497 for everything, including the four exclusive webinars where I’ll show you step-by-step how to build your brand-new, professional website from start to finish…
“On the ‘must take’ list…”
“This was a GREAT program! The information provided was thorough and having it available in several formats is so helpful for those of us who are not techies. I may pick something up with one method that I didn't understand with another.
“It's so exciting that you'll be making this a Living Program! So many freelancers get stuck on the website-building part of building a business. All of AWAI's programs are outstanding, but this one ranks near the top of the ‘must take’ list.”
— Ann K.

P.S. Oh! There’s one more thing I’ll leave you with from Online Copywriting Expert, Nick Usborne:
“99% of freelancer websites I see do NOT make their owners look better than they are. Sometimes it’s very much the opposite…
“I know many freelancers who do good work. But most of their websites make them look like amateurs.”
That’s one of the main reasons I created the Build Your Freelance Website in Four Days Webinar Series… so you’ll have a website that instantly makes you look like a professional — even if you don’t quite feel like one yet.
And don’t forget, your site can grow with you…
And, your website can grow with you…
Over time, you can showcase your successes as they happen by adding testimonials, endorsements (I’ll show you how to get a few of those right away), and even your best copy samples.
Very soon, you can begin establishing yourself as a niche expert by offering quality content to your clients (and prospective clients). You can even grow your website into an active marketplace or membership website — if you want…

P.P.S. Still have questions? Here are the most common ones I’ve received — along with my answers:
Q: What if I’m still in the beginning stages of my freelance career; is it too soon to build my own freelance website?
A: It’s never too soon, and having your website up and running will help you commit to starting your business now! Plus, it’s always better to get your website up sooner rather than later since it will take some time for the search engines to really start sending traffic.
And, since you’re learning how to do everything yourself with this series, once it’s up, you’ll be able to change it and update it any time you want! That means as you continue to gain more skills and experience, and have even better samples and testimonials, you’ll be able to easily edit your website yourself to showcase them and attract even more clients.
Q: I have a freelance business, but I’m not a copywriter. Is this Webinar Series still good for me?
A: Absolutely! A freelancer’s website is their “21st Century Business Card.” Most of the elements are the same for all freelancers; it’s just going to be the specific copy that’s different.
We’ll cover all sorts of freelance specialties in the program. You also get the bonus “Content Essentials Guide,” so no matter what your freelance specialty is, you’ll have clear direction on the content you need. Design, publicity, resume writing, copywriting, B2B, grant writing… everything is covered. And if, for some reason, your specialty isn’t covered, just ask for it to be added and I’ll make sure it happens.
Q: Will I just be learning more theory, which I’ve already taught myself thanks to Wealthy Web Writer?
A: No, this is a step-by-step, hands-on training program. You will be writing the copy and actually putting up the website during the sessions.
That being said, the first session will contain some “theory” since I want to make sure everyone participating really knows what makes a good website and what makes a bad one. We’ll go through examples of the good and the not-so-great. After that, it’s all practical, hands-on application.
Q: When can I start asking questions about my website?
A: This is a very comprehensive training program. So, whatever questions you have right now about your website, there’s a good chance we’re going to answer them during the series. Plus, as soon as you get started, you can post questions in the exclusive members-only forum and we will answer them. The forum also has questions and answers from other members, so your question may already have been answered there. It’s a great resource!
Q: Would you recommend I purchase a domain before I start the four-day Webinar Series?
A: Do not buy anything before you start the series. We’ll go through everything step-by-step, including decisions on domains, hosting, and platforms.
Of course, if you already have a domain, hosting, or even an old website, don’t worry. You’ll still be able to re-use everything if you want.
Q: Will we be building our websites using WordPress?
A: Yes, we’ll be using WordPress since it’s truly the best platform out there for non-techies to use on their freelance websites. And just to be sure we’re on the same page, we’ll be using the content management system available at WordPress.org, not to be confused with the blog website at WordPress.com.
Q: Will you be supplying themes or templates for our websites?
A: No, but you’ll get a list of my best recommendations.
I don’t want everyone to have the exact same website, so you’ll find more than enough free and paid theme options to make sure you get exactly what you want.
Q: Will our website include the ability to have newsletter sign-ups, blog capabilities, and the other necessary marketing tools?
A: Yes — because we’re using WordPress, you’ll be able to choose the “plugins” you want to use to add these things to your website.
Don’t worry — I’ll cover all of that in the series.
