Want To Know Why You Should Not Outsource Web Design?

Picture the scene…

…You’re an internet marketer or just becoming interested; and you want to get a few websites up so you can start selling some products to make a bit of moolah.

After all, there’s no alternative to taking action. Get your websites up and get stuck in.

But, how do you go about getting your websites up?

The first choice that jumps into your head is probably to hire a web designer; you may not be keen on the financial investment, but if you don’t act now, you probably never will…

…And you’ll end up missing the boat all together.

So, you’ll be forgiven for feeling surprised as I convince you not to hire a web designer. In fact, I think it’s the last thing you should do.

First off; who would you hire anyway? Unfortunately it’s an online “scamfest” when it comes to outsourcing online. You need to be very careful about who you approach to hire as your hard earned cash could be at serious risk.

Most of the good and trustworthy web designers will be booked up months in advance so you need to be wary of one who’s ready to take immediate action… Well, immediate action right after your first deposit that is.

Sure, not everyone gets scammed; but I know I nearly was…

…Think you’re safe?

Then there’s the time factor. As mentioned, the good designers will be booked solid. Don’t expect any favours or preferential treatment either; you’ll need to join the back of a very long queue and wait your turn.

Then when you finally get your turn, there’s the dozens of e-mails back and forth as you try to get your website design vision across to a designer who is perceiving their own vision… They’re always trying to add their own touch to the design process, because they’re creative folks; allegedly.

Time is money and can you afford to be wasting either?

Oh yeah, and speaking of money… Do you think $600, plus additional fees for updating is fair for what will be a generally basic website?

You’ve seen these internet marketing sites and quite frankly they’re no flashier than the text in this article, but that’s because they don’t need to be, words sell; so why are we paying such high design fees?

Then there are certain control issues; now I’m no control freak, but I wouldn’t be a huge fan of a stranger retaining total control of one of my more valuable online assets, would you be?

What if they got upset with me one day and decided to delete a website I had worked really hard on marketing?

Some people are just like that, I’m telling you.

No, hiring a web designer shouldn’t be the first thing on the “to do” list of an up and coming internet marketer.

There is a better way to start, a way of getting hands on marketing experience, keeping total control of your website, and saving a little money & time too...

...Which are all good things.

The big secret is discovering how to build your own websites; and it’s not as hard as you’d think either… Look into that, because that’s your way forward!
