Become Your Own Boss with Site Rubix - Starting Your Own Business

Online advertising is taking a major share of the marketing budget of many businesses, and there has never been a better time to think about shifting your career in this direction.  Techniques for designing web pages for internet marketing are in demand from small businesses and consultants as everyone has recognized the need to have an online presence.

There are so many opportunities to develop new skills in this area, even if you aren’t computer literate.  Web development software like the recently launched Site Rubix is a great example of how easy it has become to build a website.  So if you have thought of great website design ideas, but found the technology daunting – now is the time to revisit the options.

No html experience is called for when using the Site Rubix website creation application.  It utilizes a simple drag and drop system to put your web pages together. In fact you can put your first web page together in 5 minutes (a claim unable to be supported by most website builder software).  And once you are happy with your website, Site Rubix has made it as easy as one click to publish it, using built-in ftp (file transfer).

Another key feature of Site Rubix is its built-in media manager, which manages your picture and other media files.  This allows the webmaster to add these elements to the portfolio of resources they can use to bring the whole project together.

People develop skills at their own pace, and a fast learner should be in a position to create websites to a professional standard very quickly.  Set realistic and achievable goals, follow the tutorials and once you have mastered the technical skills start to look for a potential client.

It is important that your own website be a showpiece for your work, so take the time to make it special.  Key components will be your profile – a little about your background and skills, and a photo if possible.  Then ask your friends if you could build a simple website for them, their hobby, or small business.  Do three or four of these and ask for testimonials from these ‘clients’.   Usually you will find that their friends will ask you to do one for them as well.  Place all testimonials on your website, together with a portfolio of this work. 

Now that you are an experienced website builder, you will easily be able to identify businesses that would benefit from an internet presence, but whose owners may not know where to begin to develop their own site.  Take your proposal to them, backed by the experience you have gained.  Word of mouth will take over and your new business is off and running.

And all this from your dedication, imagination, drive – and of course your copy of Site Rubix with you all the way.
