Just wondering if this is a plausible way to get started:
Currently exploring domain name(s), hosting options, and template pkgs. (Have domain name picked out already...haven't bought it yet)
I'm sure they'll be some conflicts of opinion here, but I was leaning towards using GoDaddy's "Website Tonight Premium Pkg." (up to 999 pages)...for roughly $215 for 24 months. (prob take me that long to figure it all out...lol)
Anyone have any insight as to whether or not this is a decent starter pkg?
For now, I just want to get a domain, park it, build a site around my niche, and later go live with all the extras; SSL cert, premium hosting, etc...
I'm kinda hoping "Website Tonight" is a bit more in-depth than all these "FREE" build-a-site workshops. I've tried a few, but they always look like a "FREE" website!!! (cheap)
Being this is my first attempt at a real build of sort, want to find a pkg worthy of creating an asthetically pleasing site. I'm sure to be fiddle fucking around for 2-3 months getting familiar with templates, links, layout tweaks, and creating a site worthy of my vision, and more so...(potential)vistor's impression.
But once I get all my content, products, services, and affiliate links set up (the basics) and go live, gotta imagine spending another ???months/years optomizing, testing keywords, products, ads, traffic building, etc...
I just want the site to pay for itself, and maybe trickle in some profits. Not expecting any miracles. But it would be nice if it does generate some profit, in the 1st year.
I expect it to be a lot of experimentation.
For the record, the site is not going to be a store or host (my own)products for direct sales per se, but will host information on services, products, tools and resources that I am hoping can/will generate as a "base" for future site(s) that will eventually allow me to "afford" my own product, store, or expansion later.
Is this a logical expectation?
