I'm a very sceptical person and I hate spending money. To remove the mothballs from my wallet takes not just an insect the size of a spider, but an animal the size of an elephant to get me to part with any money.
I have been online now for over 12 months trying to make a few pence. Like everyone else I want to give up the day job. Yawn, how many times have I heard that I hear you say. In the process, I've learnt about webhosting, domains, autoresponders, marketing and website development (to name a few).
All these cleaver ideas seem great but I get overwhelmed when I try to put any of them into action, which idea shall I try first, how do I actually make it work on the site ?
My main problem, it seemed, always came back to being able to develop websites with all this clever coding on to be able to get the results. I've tried buying a website from someone, but then when I wanted to change anything it meant wading through great amounts of source code and continually pestering the developer, who by now was busy on another website. I've also tried my hand at Dreamweaver but heck , 12 months to learn dreamweaver or 12 months learning how to make money online. There's no contest really. Again, I looked at buying other site building software such as isitebuildit, but something just prevented me from following it up, it was that Spider in my wallet again !
Then I found XsitePro and to my astonishment I actually parted with my money relatively easily. I downloaded the free manual, read through it and it was this that persuaded me. It was exactly what I was looking for. It's set up very much like a widows application where you can add files, delete them or move them into subfolders etc. It operates as its name suggests, as a Total Site Management package, ideal for the affiliate marketer who wants to test out markets before developing a full website. All my ideas now get captured in my XsitePro software. Add a project as a new idea and then its there until you decide to develop it. Each time you open XsitePro you can develop the idea you want to that day. Develop a one page mini-site, article/product pages or a full scale website. Publish when ready and you're suddenly an affiliate marketer ready to concentrate on promoting your sites.
All you need to get started with the software is to follow the tutorial, which is provided and you can even publish a test site without a domain and hosting of your own. You will need to purchase a domain name and hosting to publish your own site with the XSitePro software, but this can be achieved for less than £20 per year. I've purchased several domains and set up hosting for a few of them, but didn't get any further for a long while, until I found XSitePro site building software.
The only downside I can think of is that to purchase the software you need to visit a typical in- your-face sales page, but don't let that put you off. The software really is good, and being relatively new (released earlier this year), it can only get better with free updates, as the forum members have their input as to future improvements. The members forum is also a great place to ask questions and there are regular "experts" that provide their knowledge free of charge, alternatively there is a help system available from the owners.
Get XSitePro and start promoting it with your first website now. It's likely to be the must have tool for all affiliate and online marketers in the near future.
I hope you have as much success with XSitePro as I have. Wishing you all the best. Katy from K8yA.com. If you have any comments on this article or want to let me know about your successful XSitePro websites email me at Katy@k8ya.com
