Welcome to the Solopreneur Life Podcast.
Today we’re talking about your solopreneur website. Do you really need one?
Yes and no.
If you’re just starting out, testing your business idea, or don’t have the cash flow yet, don’t stress over it. But as your business grows, absolutely. Website -
- Credibility as a real business
- A place to send prospects to see your work
- Lead generation tool for magnetically attracting new clients
To grow your business, you need to:
- Validate your idea
- Start getting clients
- Get the money flowing
These are your priorities.
- Use social media
- Join forums and communities
- Reach out to prospects through email and direct mail
Most of these you can do without a website. You can still leverage the Growth ARC:
- Attention
- Relationship
- Conversion
But once you’ve committed and you’ve got the cash, build your website.
It's not just a brochure. Most businesses have an online presence. And no matter where else they are online, they have a website.

- Findable
- Elevates your brand
How much does it cost?
- Hosting - $15 a month - siteground
- Domain - $30 a year - godaddy
- Theme - up to $100, once. Genesis, Parallax Pro
Is it hard?
No! It’s easier than you might think.
- Set up your hosting
- Cpanel - create your self-hosted wordpress site
- Add your theme
- Customize the theme
- Create your pages
- Add plugins for extra functionality
Your theme should come with a set-up guide that walks you through the process.
You don’t have to be techy to do it.
I promise. You’ll become techy as you build your digital business.
That’s the fun... you got this!
