The Winning Way

Good Morning!

I Have Been Thinking

Why is it important to have your own web site, learn to read HTML and get through all the techno babble when you have an affiliate site all set up for you?
Are you really and honestly in business for yourself?
What if the affiliate program you have hung your star on goes out of business? What then?
What if you change ISPs how do you notify everyone of the change in email? Our carrier was Adelphia. Adelphia sold out to Comcast so all of our root email changed, but was that a worry? Not at all because all of my email comes through my web site address and even if it would move servers the email addresses would remain the same. When you have 300-400 personal contacts in your address book and 4000 to 5000 or more in a mailing list you can begin to see why having your own URL can be vital.
You have heard the money is in the list, it is in the follow-up but if you don’t have your own database and that company is gone your list is gone too. All the work you have done is down the drain. It isn’t hard to register your own domain and even if you start with your name.com at least you can begin to apply many more strategies to your business that are totally unavailable to you as an affiliate of someone else’s business. Think about it!

Tips and Techniques

Adding comments to your web pages in addition to the content is useful when you want to remind yourself to update a section of text or indicate why you used a specific tag.
A comment must be surrounded by the delimiters. Web browsers will ignore the information between the delimiters. This prevents your comments from appearing on the page itself.
Keep in mind that users who view the source code will be able to read your comments.
Comments can also be used to hide web page elements that some Web browsers may not recognize. Example: using a comment allows you to hide JavaScript from older browsers that do no recognize JavaScript. This will prevent the browsers from displaying the code on the Web page.
Another great use for the comment delimiter is to hide certain areas of the page that are “under construction” until you are completed with them. It is not such a good idea to show a page “under construction” when visitors come in. A little content on the page is better than an “under construction” sign.

Happy designing!
