My website’s price

Well, I’ve talked to my guys over at Invendy and they gave me a price for building a website in the niche I want. To develop the layout, put it in a Wordpress system, do the proper keyword research and providing the website with articles it would cost me a little under $ 1000,-. That a lot of money but to be honest I was prepared for twice as much. Now the question is will do it? When I started with network marketing I didn’t plan to invest these kinds of money. Actually GDI and Rolution offer you the opportunity to build a business and an income for just $ 10,- or $ 13,- a month. Now it’s not just that anymore.

On the other hand, how am I going to get customers and build my company without a proper website? I’m confused. I want this and I really think I’m on to something here but it’s starting to look like a serious business. If I wanted to invest this kind of money I would never go for a network marketing opportunity.

I asked them how long it would take for me to get to the first page for the keywords ‘Global Domains International’. They told me it was a very competitive niche but within six months it should be possible. Of course getting there wasn’t free as well.

To make a long story short, I asked them to make me an offer for building the website and getting it to the first page in Google for ‘Global Domains International’. They told me they we’re willing to help me with the SEO part and they didn’t necessarily want a profit out of it. Last night I received their offer. For $ 900,- they would build my website including the keyword research and articles and also a free SEO package came with it. I had a cup of coffee and thought about it and an hour ago I called them to say I agree with the price and they could start the process.

I’m excited but also I’m a bit worried/confused if I’m doing the right thing here. Now there’s a lot of money invested and I really want to see that back. Is this the way to become one of the big boys in network marketing? Am I doing the right thing here? Is this what makes the difference between success and failure in MLM? Who knows, for now I’m focusing on learning more about search engine optimization.

Building the website

I think I’m really on to something! I’m learning a lot from the two guys over at Invendy. Now that they’ve explained to me that keyword research is the first really important thing to do I feel like I missed that step when I sign up with Global Domains International. They say it’s impossible to get to the first page in Google when you’ve chosen the wrong name but I disagree. I read on forums like Wickedfire that it is possible and when I search the web I see all kinds of names and urls on the first age.

However the change of getting on that first page is bigger when I have the wright name. With the right name I mean a name that is often used when searching the internet. That way my website will be found a lot of times and that means a lot of visitors.

They also told me that building a website using a standard website builder isn’t the best way to build a website. The reason for that is that Google can’t read the website because of the different frames often used in website building programs/software. They looked at my current website and they confirm it was the case.

After hearing this I had mixed feelings to be honest. I sign with GDI, they offer free website building but in reality it allows you to build a worthless website. They also told me that a website should be running on Wordpress. When I logged into my account last night I saw that GDI provides plugins for Wordpress. I also read that they are providing this because people where requesting this for the same reasons I have at this time.

Maybe it’s time for me to ask how much it would be to create a real and professional website. Or maybe it’s time to quit? No, not yet.

Search engine optimization

Last weekend I had a great conversation with two guys who were into internet marketing. First I thought that I could get those guys to sign up with my Global Domains International or my Rolution business (or both) but they weren’t interested. Too bad but we kept talking about internet marketing an especially about Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

They told me they were having a couple of websites that were on the first page in Google and therefore had up to 300 to 1000 visitors a month. With some websites they earned $ 100,- a month but with other websites they earned up to $ 300,- dollars. While I was listening I did the math. They were talking about 8 websites, let’s say they earned $ 100,- with half of them and $ 300,- with the other half. That’s $ 1600,- passive income. They told me they had to work to develop the websites and to get them to the first page but now the money just comes in every month. 

I was impressed and I asked with what kind of companies they were working and what kind of products they were promoting. They told me that they were working with different kinds of companies and different kinds of products and for each sale the received $ 2,50 and in some cases $ 25,-. I told them again about the compensation plan of GDI and Rolution. I told them that for all the sales they were making they still could have earned $ 1,- a month when it was with a network marketing business. Unfortunately I still couldn’t convince them but it kept me thinking.

Imagine that I had a website that was on the first page in Google and was getting 1000 visitors a day, how much sign ups would that get me? I’ve been thinking about it all week and I think I’m going to give them a call later on today. I want to discuss the opportunity of them making a professional website for me and also getting it to the first page in Google where I’ll get lots of free customers. This would be a onetime investment and it would give me a continuously growing business. I keep you posted!
