Help with Investor Web Sites

[John Murrow]

I need a couple web sites. One for buying and one for selling. Where is the best place to get them. I'm looking for ones that capture leads and information about the people coming to the site. Thanks,

The cheapest way if you have the time is definitely using Wordpress. Its not to hard to get the url of your choice. As far as hosting goes i always go with Host Gator it is simpler then Go daddy and in my experience you can do more with it. I read here someone said Word press is subject to hacks. Any website is subject to hacks but you can take measures to protect your self from this.

I'm speaking from experience if you can type a simple message and point and click a mouse, then you can save money by making your own website. Its not as hard as some would think.

Here are some tips for you new website:

1. Make sure what ever your url is you get a .com and not a .net or any of those other ones

2. Make your Welcome Page simple but catchy. Stay genuine and not to pushy Remember your goal is to get your visitors information not scare them off

3. To get a higher conversion rate from your customers try to offer a gift that will help them now rather than later. This will entice your visitors to actually give you there information.

4. And last but not least have a call to action. Remember your visitors want to be led and told what to do next. If you don't have a call to action you might not get the results you were hoping for by having a website in the first place.

5. If your gonna have a two websites (one to attract sellers and one to attract buyers) I would recommend you have a blog attached to them. Blogs aren't hard to maintain and contrary to popular belief you don't need to update them all the time. Four articles on both blogs slam packed with information that will benefit your visitors is more than enough to show that you know what you are talking about, and provides instant credibility.

This is all i have right off the type of my head. I'm no guru or anything but i have done a lot of websites. :) Good Luck

P.S. i would say out of all 5 tips number 5 is the only one i would consider optional.
