Let's change that here. What website builder is right for you?

What website builder is right for bloggers and affiliate marketers?

The best way to become a blogger and make money with affiliate marketing is to pick a niche that you love (pets, fitness, yoga, travel) and create content that attracts an audience. More importantly, brand yourself as the go-to expert within that niche.

For blogging and affiliate marketing, you would use WordPress as your website builder. For this, I recommend you buy your own hosting, create your own brand and start building an audience using WordPress. Honestly, if someone else is telling you to blog on another platform, I would run.

WordPress allows you to:

• Control the front-end and back-end.
• Best for search engine visibility.
• Create community and expand in the future.
• Position as the authority in your space.
• Control
  • Control the Look
  • Customize the Design
  • Modify the site's code
  • Install WordPress Plugins

What website builder is good for “scheduled services”?

Can customers schedule appointments with you online? You want to allow clients and website visitors to book appointments directly from your website, send text appointment reminders and even collect payments.

One mistake that I see a ton of people doing is mismatching business blueprints. If you have a business, then look for two identical businesses and two mentors who teach how to grow that exact business. The problem arises when people in the clothing business start listening to mentors teaching how to grow their blog. Two different business models and two different set of actions to grow it.

What types of businesses need scheduled appointments?

• Massage Therapists
• Life Coaches
• Fitness & Personal Trainers
• Air Conditioning Installation
• Catering Companies

For this, I recommend Wix. Here's why:

Let's say you want to start a “massage therapy” business where you can charge a one on one massage fee and a monthly membership fee. When you turn on Wix, you instantly select a professional design. Then, you pick modules that you need for your business.

What modules do you need for your website? Appointment Schedule Module, Payment Collecting Module, Text Reminder Module, Add Therapists, Manage Clients, Follow-Up with Feedback & Future Appointments. You turn on these modules and they are published on your website immediately. You're ready to go. You can also use these 21 ways to get internet traffic to your website.

Here's another added benefit. Let's say you're opening a new location. Now, you can use the same Wix platform and add a new location and start scaling your business by increasing locations.

I would never recommend Wix five years ago. Because Wix has improved their service 1,000x in the last 5 years, I am now recommending them for your service website.

What website builder is good for handmade goods & vintage items?

There are two platforms we use to sell handmade goods & vintage items: Shopify and Etsy.

If you're trying to create a brand that you want to build & eventually, sell, then use Shopify. Shopify allows you to build a complete website & is designed to make building your own “online store” as simple as possible.

With Etsy, you don't have to create a website like you do with Shopify. Just upload your products with their descriptions, and you're seriously ready to sell your products within minutes.

COMPARISON TIP: Shopify requires that you build the store, create the marketing & build up the traffic to your store. Shopify is an all-in-one ecommerce platform, perfect for people who want to grow their own brand. Etsy is a marketplace that people search for items & you popup in the marketplace. The traffic is already in place because people are searching the marketplace.

What website builder is best for online course creators?

If you're wanting to create your own course and sell them on your website, then we use and recommend Thinkific. Thinkific allows you to build three courses for free & doesn't split revenue.

I've been teaching online for 16 years, building everything from scratch. When I found Thinkific, I published my first course within a week & had my first student within a week of publishing with Thinkific. I can't believe how simple this is.
