It’s easier than ever to put up your own website. But who should be interested?
If by chance you are a:
Owner of a business,
You are planning to start a business,
Employee,
Are a hobbyist,
Or are opinionated about any subject
Then you should have your own website. Let’s start from the top:
Business owners: this should be obvious. With more and more people online every day, you are walking away from sales if you do not have an internet presence.
New or prospective business owners: you should start off right and include a website in your marketing plan from the beginning.
You have a job. There are two different types of sites you should consider.
First off, start a personal website to show what you know. The field does not matter; almost any would benefit from this type of site. A blog is the ideal platform for such a website. If you are job hunting in the future, your website will be a testament to your commitment and knowledge.
Second, if you are employed by a medium to large size company, you can start a site dealing with some aspect of the company. One possibility would be to chronicle the history of the corporation. Work on it in your spare time (not “on the clock”) and eventually let your superior know about your project. This will position you as a knowledgeable employee and set you apart from everyone else.
Hobbyists: if you are excited about the hobby which engages your time, a website is the perfect way to tell others about what you are doing.
Social commentator: if you have strong opinions in favor of or against some important issue, a good website will help to let others know. You can do more to influence the thinking of others with a website than almost any other medium.
