Websites Should Be Seen As Investments

Think of Your Website As an Investment
By Kody Crosson

Starting anything new people usually have jitters. Rather it be going to college for the first time, opening a store for the first time, or going on a first date. Well starting a website is no different. I remember when I first started my website I thought what if it doesn't work... what if I am simply wasting time, money, and resources? I had that mindset for quite sometime until I started reading one of Warren Buffet's books and he made the statement... in the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield. His knowledge and experience showed me that if I don't take the risk of at least trying I would never truly know what could have been. At that point I realized I was not just starting a website I was starting an investment. An investment that would hopefully open door after door of opportunity leading me closer and closer to every goal, or dream, that I ever had. Everybody has their reasons, some want more money and others simply want the joys and self-satisfaction of being able to be their own boss. The reason for wanting to start is insignificant all that matters is that you are willing to take those first steps to success. In this article I will talk about why this is an important mindset to have and why it has helped me get out of bed early or stay up late to help with my investment. The mindset of my website being an investment is one of my main driving forces as well as seeing people like you go for it.

The Truth Behind Website Investments and Pregame Jitters

An investment...put in laments terms is something you put x amount into and expect to get x+y amount back. Which is exactly what you can obtain by setting up a monetized website. Many people look at investments as simply: buying stock, flipping houses, or buying something and selling it for more...I'm here to tell you to "open your eyes" to more options. In today's day and age investments come in many forms and packages. An online website is just one of the many "new age" investments. At this point I am going to assume you have decided you wanted to create a website and you are probably extremely nervous, reluctant, and quite possibly doubtful of if you can do it. I am here to tell you the first biggest obstacle to get over is that little voice of doubt in your head. I can attest to the nervousness and doubt because not only did I have it when I first started but people around also doubted my work and endless hours spent drinking coffee and working away on the computer. Which brings me to point two... there are people in life who will push you and then there are people who will pull you back or even bring you down. I would suggest using those people as a driving force of your own just to prove them wrong. I even bet one day they might want to learn a few things from you!

Once You Get Over The Jitters

Getting over the jitters is an important stage because now you have the gears turning but you don't want to burn out like people typically do with New Year's Resolutions. This is the time to harness your "power" and keep pushing with deciding many different things. Some things to think about are:

• What should my site be about?
• What am I going to name my site?
• Do I have a product or do I want to be an affiliate(getting a commission)?
• What are my goals and projections?
• What niche should my website be about?
• Do I need to ask anyone for help?

Please note these are only a few things to be thinking about but notice I didn't put things like what if I fail and other negative questions like that. The reason for this is because at this stage you are going to be fairly new with all the ins and outs so it is very important you stay optimistic and ask for help when needed. You never want to skip over something and not truly understand it. Someday you may want multiple websites and it is best you understand everything right off the bat. I actually rushed through my first website creating course and realized I had to take it again to truly understand everything. Just remember if you can't take time to do it right the first time what makes you think you will have time to do it a second time? Wish I would have thought of that the first time... lesson learned!

In Closing...

Although this article is not super lengthy I hope you realize the importance in having an optimistic and "go get em" attitude. After all this time you are the boss. You are not going to have someone there constantly breathing down your neck to get stuff done. It is going to take a little self-discipline that will pay off in the end. If there is one thing I can tell you about your future investment (website) it is that if you truly put your heart into your website and do everything as directed you will find out it not only brings in money but changes you as a person. You will be more motivated and driven to do things you had not done in the past. Which is why I like to use the saying invest in yourself. As always I wish you nothing but good luck in your future endeavors! Thank you for reading this article!
