What was your first website - marketing or otherwise?

This is almost a kind of confessional, prompted by a post at the Affordable Internet Marketing Blog

My first site was actually at Geocities - now long part of Yahoo - but at the time one of the first places that offered free websites. The problem there was the URLs, which grouped you into zones/neighbourhoods. Actually, it’s still there - after all these years…

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Lair/7909/index.html

It was hand-coded in HTML, and has it all - frames, a midi music section, rough background, animation, scroller, “under construction”, and a last-updated notice for 30/11/1997. A note says it was created in Windows 95 on a P166+ PC (It was actually a Cyrix chip, remember those?) and it needed IE 3 or Netscape 2 to view.

I actually had other pages on other free sites such as Angelfire and Lycos - but they’re long gone.

My first Internet Marketing type page fared far worse, though I made my first ever income at Internet Marketing via an affiliate link to a motorcycle store from Commission Junction. My first Making Money page is still available via the wonders of the Way Back Machine at:

But even that isn’t my first attempt, the first is long gone. When I was learning the ropes, it was all MLM such as “SFI”, and my first mailing list was at Topica. I joined into programs such as Cash Evolution and various Paid-To-Read-Email type programs. Everyone said you had to have an e-zine, and the e-zine world was full of e-mail advertising. Basically, I was a sucker for everything that hit my inbox.

Things have changed, thankfully. There’s a lot more information out there now, but still just as many scams. But the good tactics still work: Create content, create value, build a list, target a niche, get traffic, run advertising/sales/affiliate programs. You won’t go far wrong.

If website design isn’t your thing (it isn’t mine either) you may already be familiar with using pre-made templates. They can give you a clean, attractive website that looks like you spent hundreds of dollars on - but in fact only took you minutes to complete

Here’s a nice way to grab some excellent templates, tailor made for salespages and mini-sites (but usable for any kind of site). There are four sets included that come with all design, header, footer and order graphics and PSD files so you can edit them:

The price? Well … less than $10, and you can also get that magical 100% commissions if you want to promote!
