Building a website?

[Mike Pose]

Hey there,
Newbie here. Really have been in the research stage at this point, but ready to make my move into the 'real' world. I have some great prospects and am in the process of getting started.

My question is - it really seems like in these times you need a website presence to be known and to have people take you seriously. I'm convinced it will go a long way to making people see you as someone serious.

So...what tools to use? I have researched this a TON and have narrowed down to what I think is the best tool out there, but wanted to check with folks before taking the plunge?

Thanks in advanced for the advice!
Mike

Hey how's it going? Listen, I've been developing websites for years. And only recently when I had some spare time I developed a website for my realestate company just so that I could add it to business cards and email sig files to do what your saying, "give a good first impression". But trust me, if you're just starting out here's what you need do concentrate on. Forget getting a website, forget getting some fancy business cards done, forget going to the mall because you think you need a new suit to wear. You don't need to waste time with any of that stuff. What you need to do is concentrate your time on studying a good realestate course like "carlton sheets" and also making tons and tons of offers. Remember the 80/20 law? 80% of your time needs to be spent finding properties for sale and making offers. That's the most important thing you can do and that will reap you the most rewards. Damn I should take my own advice, and even though I have a deal on the go still be out there making offers! Like Robert Kiosoki says, "look at a deal a day"....or what I say "make an offer a day".
