Web Design Tips & Tricks


You probably already known the key to making any kind
of income from the net is a well designed website.
What most people don't realize your site doesn't have
to look perfect or be professionally designed to be
successful.

Not by a long shot!

In the final analysis, any site that makes you money
is a successful site. Any site that brings in an income
can be considered a well designed site. Many people
can't get their heads around this fact - some of the
most basic/ugly sites can be the most profitable.
You don't need a perfect site.

Believe me, I know from first-hand experience!

Your site doesn't have to be a design knock-out to
earn you money. My first site www.bizwaremagic.com
which I designed from scratch when I didn't have
a clue what a perfect site should be or look like
- but my modest site now brings in over 50,000 visitors
amonth and Google just upgraded it to a PR6.

All that is not really important, what is important
my site brings in money each and every day!
It is a profitable site, it's not pretty but
it works.

I earn revenue from Google Adsense, I earn revenue
from affiliate sales, I have even formed partnerships
with other major sites and businesses on the web.

I get more and more companies coming to me each
week asking if they can display their products/links
on my site. I recently turned down a major fellow
Internet marketer who wanted to put a link on
the top of my homepage and that guy makes
millions online each year!

Why are they bothering with me and my site?

Because my site brings in targeted traffic and visitors
who buy products and services which those companies
are selling. My site is valuable to them!

My site can deliver leads, customers and business to
those other parties. My modest little site is not perfect
but it sells. It has value.

Here's the main trick or advice I can give anyone
starting a new web business:

..........................
Most Important Design Tip
..........................

The only reason my site (any site) has value is because
I have targeted certain keywords or keyword phrases
with my site. Once these keyword phrases rank high
in all the search engines you get targeted traffic
to your site. Targeted traffic which companies would
like to get a piece of to sell their products.

Actually if you do this one action. Get high rankings
for your site's profitable in demand keywords, then
your site will earn you money. For example, if you get
a top 10 ranking for 'Cell Phone' you will make money,
regardless of how good or bad your site is designed!

Did I make a lot of mistakes with designing my
first site - you bet I did! Mistakes that I
learned from and corrected as I went along -
but you don't have to make the same mistakes.

Recently, I have been gathering material on
site design and concepts. One great resource
has been Marlon Sanders. He has a helpful Free
pdf download "Top 10 Site Designs Mistakes".
This is really good because he takes actual
sites and dissects them and points out what
should and should not be done.

I highly recommend you grab a copy of





If making online money is your goal, you have
to design a site that sells. Perhaps one of the
best manuals you can find on site design is
Ken Evoy's Make Your Site Sell
- you used to have to pay for this manual
but it is now f'ree. You can download it
from here:

Marketing Tool Guide

I was so impressed with Ken Evoy's SBI I
purchased his hosting package and I am using
it to build my 8th commercial site - I say
commercial because I have created a lot of
sites in the past just for fun. I have a
background in graphic art and art education so
you might think I would have a slight advantage
but not really.

Graphics, images, and web design are important
because making the wrong design choices can ruin
a good site. But graphics is NOT what makes your
site profitable.

After your targeted keywords what makes any site
profitable is words.

The written content/copy on your site. These days
this written content is quickly shifting to
online videos but the words are still there-
you just listen to them instead of reading them!

After keywords, copy writing is the most important
element in your web design.

Sites are all about copy writing which I have
little background in and experience with.
This is one area where I really needed help,
one of the best products on copy writing I found
is Dan Lok's 'Turn Words Into Cash'.

Dan Lok is known as the World's #1
'Website Conversion Expert'

His 'Turn Words Into Cash' is not f'ree but
he interviews all the Top copywriters in the
world on how to make your words sell. In the
end that's exactly what any good well designed site
has to do - turn your online copy/words into cash.

Marketing Tool Guide


As stated before, your site doesn't have to be perfectly
designed but it must be able to turn your content
and your words into revenue. It's not easy but it
can be done.

I also found Dan Lok had another extremely helpful
book entitled: 'Ordinary People Extraordinary Money'.

This helpful guide shows actual people: their
websites, their tools and resources they use to
earn an good income from the web.

Marketing Tool Guide


These just ordinary people using ordinary websites
and tactics to earn an income from the web. Their
sites are not perfect, but they work and earn money.

I know because I do it every day with my own websites.
They're not perfect, but they work. They earn me a full
time living on the Internet.

If I can do this, anyone can. Including you!

I truly hope this email and the resources listed
above will be of some help to you.
