Myths about Making Money Online
1. I need to know web design/HTML coding.
While websites
are created from HTML pages, you do not need to learn the language to create a website. You can use HTML editors and WYSIWYG software like
DreamWeaver or FrontPage to create your site. For a really easy to use Website Builder check out Software U Seek.
2. I need to hire a web designer to create my sites.
You need not hire a $500 to $1000 an hour web
designer to create your websites. Simple web pages convert much faster then flashy websites. And if you do need a nice interface for your
site you can always check out template sites for free templates. For a really easy to use Website Builder check out Software U Seek.
3. I need to spend a lot on hosting web sites.
Hosting costs used to be exorbitant in the early days
of the internet. Now it is relatively cheaper and you can get good reliable hosting for under $4 a month. Plus if you are just starting
out, you can even register with free web hosts. For more help on Web Hosting and Domains, check out Webspace Buddy.
4. I need to be a good writer to create content
sites.
While it would help if you have writing skills, it is not necessary for you to have a degree in writing to create content for your sites. If you
write a site on a topic you are passionate about, you will automatically be able to write on that topic without any problem. You can also check
out Niche Profits for free articles you can use on your website.
5. I can earn money online without doing any work.
Ah.. this is a claim that most MLM/work at home sites offer, and much as we would all like to believe it, it is unfortunately not true. You
will need to work on your sites, to add content, update info and promote it. You can decide on how much time you want to spend on it and
you can even use readily available materials to cut down on the time you spend on it. But it will not be possible to create good,
profitable sites without working on them on a regular basis.
6. I can use software to create 1000s of pages for my sites.
Yes, there are software available which can create 1000s of pages in matter of seconds. And some people have found them to be useful in
driving traffic to their sites. However, these are only short term methods and will not work in your favour. In fact major search engines
have already started banning sites which use these auto generated pages. So it is always better to spend a little more time and create sites with
original content.
