Building your website CAN be easy

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

One of the biggest things that intimidated me when I first became an online creator was the idea of building my own website.

I had a mental image of a young Mark Zuckerberg-type nerd sitting behind the keyboard typing away like that scene of Jim Carrey from "Bruce Almighty", you know the one...

But once I actually sat down to create my own website almost 7 years ago now, I realized it wasn't that bad.

I didn't have to be a tech wizard to get my website finished... but man did it take a lot more effort than I would have liked.

But since that time, technology and software options for building your website have only gotten better with more incredible, free themes and all of these cool tools like AI and the like to help out with the process.

Not to mention the fact that it's cheaper than EVER to start a blog with Bluehost: under $25 and a free domain name for a year thanks to our Bluehost discount!

It's absolutely bonkers how far we've come. Today, I wanted to share the newest video for the YouTube channel (which will now start being a regular thing again) where in 20 minutes and almost as many dollars, I show you how you can take an idea to a website.

If you have been on the fence about starting your website, hopefully this will be everything you need to make the leap and finally get going.

That's the reason you're here after all isn't it?

Not to sit by and watch us do our thing and to see the people in our community do it -- But so YOU can do the damn thing.

So if you've been waiting, hopefully, this is the push you need. Get after it.

A transformative Marketing Masterclass you NEED to watch

It's been an... interesting week. I've been working tirelessly over copy for the website changes we're making. It's the type of work that feels like it's going nowhere. Rewrite, then reread, then rewrite, then make this small change, and that small change, then get distracted, then another rewrite, and the cycle continues. The vision is there, but you have to chisel the marble away to reveal it. For me, it started with a bullet-point brain dump. Listen to me. No matter what you're working on...

Be grateful. Be like Bruno.

Hey y'all, This email is going to be a little more personal and quite a bit longer, but I hope that talking selfishly about myself for a few minutes will provide you with a little motivation and encouragement for where you are on your journey. These kinds of emails are honestly my favorite, because I get to talk about the real stuff. From the beginning that was always what was different about Create and Go to me. That realness, that authenticity, that transparency. These emails allow me to...

The Art of Pivoting: When to Stick and When to Shift

Hey y'all! I hope you're having a good week. Today's topic is something Lauren and I have been talking about a lot lately. Pivoting. Now, I don't know what you think of when you think of pivoting, but for me... It's always the Friends scene with the couch... (I have never actually even seen Friends, but I still know of this scene). BUT THEN I think about leaving something behind, admitting "failure" or "giving up". Pivoting is something that's really hard for me. I like change, but I also can...
