 All right, what's that earlier today? I got a message from a coach He told me he said hey this guy's trying to charge me two grand to build a website Should I do it? All right today's answer to this question? It might shot you I get a lot of questions like this throughout the month, and we'll get into it All right now let's get down to business here When you are starting your business the last thing that I want you to do is Invest into a website right now I would tell you to invest into a website if that website is Guaranteeing you leads that turn into sales right if That website is not guaranteeing you anything Then you're just paying for something that is just gonna sit there And this is the thing a lot of coaches don't know what SEO is which is search engine optimization they'll never take the time to learn it and They'll pay people just to go set up a website and the thing is is like you could go set up a website on wix for I Don't know. I think they have plans now. They're like $9 a month And if you were starting your business today, and you asked me hey should I start with a website? I would say nope No, you don't need a website to start your business and this is where a lot of coaches they go in the wrong order They think they need to have a website. They think they need to have this cool logo They think they need to have this brand behind what they do at the beginning at the beginning It's just you just focus on selling. That's it And you don't need a website to do that what you do need is a payment system Right, and I see coaches all the time. They're like, yeah, you know Should I spend two or three grand with this website developer and I'll be like no you need a payment system It costs you like $49 a month so you can start making money and a lot of coaches are like no I don't want to do that. It's too expensive. I'm like you just told me I want to spend two grand on a website Right and this is why you know, I am not I'm gonna be very unfiltered here a lot of coaches are lazy They don't want to take the time to learn to do things All right, and I'm just gonna be Very honest with you I had to learn how to build a website from scratch when it was hard to build a website. This was back in 2008 2009 2010 this software back then was garbage Compared to what it is now, right? Like now I can go to kajabi. That's the site builder I use I can build an entire website in under 30 minutes If I have all the content of what I want on site, I can gather 30 minutes and be completely done All right, you could go to Wix or Squarespace If you just take like a little bit of time to learn how to do it You can set that up and avoid paying someone too grand To build you a site and the thing that you know, I'm just very Certain about this your website does not make or break how good your business is the systems in place Behind your business is what really defines what how your business is gonna go, right? Now having a good website can be helpful But I recommend as a business owner that should be a skill that you learn because Think about it. If you pay someone too grand to go make your website and they don't teach you how they did it Well, guess what every time that you want to change the site you have to pay them more Something you probably aren't thinking of right? You'll be on the hook every single time you want to change the website They're gonna say great. I'm gonna take five hours to do this and it's gonna be $500 right, so when you learn how to do things like this then you can take full control and Honestly, I would say like having a website at the beginning is going to probably hurt your business More than it's going to help you because it's going to distract you away from from getting sales Right because you're gonna be spending too much time Looking at the colors of the website trying to think about, you know, what did you want it to say? You could be spending all of that time Marketing promoting and selling your program, right? And this is why like coaches that focus on the wrong things at the beginning Generally get driven out of this business very quickly like their lifespan is very short in This business because they're focusing on all the wrong things Right, so coming up if someone asks you yeah, I'll build you a site. It's gonna be two grand or five grand Our first question I would ask them is how many leads per month is this gonna get me? if you're not getting a return on your investment you can do so many other things with that $2,000 or $5,000 however much the website is and You could honestly just go set it up for free Or pay $9 a month and learn how to use Wix or Squarespace or something like that They that's that's what I got for you today when people try to Get two or three grand for me for a website. Just learn how to do it All right now I'm gonna give you just a different point of view here now that I've said that if your business is already really successful And you want to have a nice website Spending two or three grand is like a drop in the bucket for you doing that at that point is smart because you already know how to get clients right and Building a site, right? It's something you might not want to take the time to do so Delegating that after you have money. All right, you have a lot of profits in your business. Like that's fine All right, that's fine to do because you're not focused on the website You're gonna have somebody else do it. All right, and that's the difference between like someone Who has clients who is already successful versus someone who's just starting right? I would never tell someone who's just starting to go pay somebody else to a website All right, you should figure that out yourself And if you already have a ton of clients, you can pay someone to do it because the investment is a lot smaller They in that scenario so hope that helps and if you're a coach who's looking to scale your business you want to grow Every single day for the last couple years Monday through Friday I talked to coaches that watch this YouTube channel coaches that want to grow they want to scale their business They want to charge more per client.
