I think you’re totally right Stephanie, you should outsource areas that are not your core expertise. However, a lot of beginners don’t really have the budget to do this, so I reckon it’s better to have a less than perfect site you’ve made yourself than none at all!

I wonder if its a good thing to design your own website if you’re unexperienced. I mean, if your goal is to make money with it, I think you should focus on your most lucrative activity: marketing.

Now if it takes you let’s say 30 hours to build your website. Wouldn’t that 30 hours be more profitable doing keyword research and testing your landing pages for example?

That being said, I do develop my own websites because I can do it in no time. But for stuff that requires too much of my time (like data entry), I rather outsource it. I use getafreelancer.com and elance.com.

Just my two cents

There are so many free resources available on the internet to learn website design or simply utilise the freeware packages such as Joomla, WordPress etc. I always recommend two packages to learn for affiliates which can help them to setup static websites such as Dreamweaver for HTML, Photoshop for image manipulation. I can tell this is lot more easier than understanding KPI’s, Commissions, product feeds, brand bidding, deep linking and all the affiliate jargon..

Thanks..
