If you're going to start a business online, you need to have your own
website.
Period. No question. Without a doubt.
Now I don't mean one of those affiliate sites you get from the
"Make-A-Fortune"

somewhere in the top corner. I mean a site of your own. A storefront of
your own - one that lends credibility to what you are doing online.
There are over 50 million people worldwide who have access to the
internet.
To reach those people, you need to have the tool of choice - a website.

' brick and mortar' stores located on a street, in a mall, etc. Some are located
in cyberspace but nevertheless they have an existance and if you hope to
make money with an e-business, you have to project an image of
professionalism.
A website helps you do that.
That being said, it's not enough that you just have a website. You must
have a
professional-looking site (which you can do yourself) if you want to be taken
seriously. If your site looks like it was designed by a barrel of colorblind monkeys,

Your website is an important part of your business. Make sure you treat it
as such.
