I've received quite a few comments and a lot of positive energy for the upcoming program "The Weekend Website".
I'd like to answer some questions that will help you better understand how to succeed making money with your own website
QUESTION:I do not even know how to start making the actual web page. That is the info I need.
ANSWER: Most people get stopped by this idea that they don’t know HTML or they don’t know how to put up webpages.
The truth is that most people making a living on the Internet don’t even do that work themselves and have no idea how to do it! I personally have learned how to do that but no longer do that work myself.
Any fool can learn how to put up a webpage. You don’t need my course to learn how to do that. All you have to do is to go to your public library, grab a book on “building your own website” and spend a couple weeks playing with it and you’ll be able to do it.
My point is: you don’t need that knowledge to be successful. That’s knowledge that you can either learn yourself with a self-help book or pay someone $15 an hour to do for you and save yourself all the headache.
Knowing how to put up webpages is NOT how you make money on the Internet. That’s something anyone can do. I encourage you to only spend a very small amount of time building your TECHNICAL knowledge and instead spend most of your time building your STRATEGIC and MARKETING knowledge.
In the Weekend Website I will show you how to build a simple website that makes you money. I also show you the basics of putting up a webpage — but I don’t focus on that a lot because that’s something you can hire someone else to do at a low cost.
If you want to earn a living with your own website, you have to start thinking like a business person. A business person doesn’t put up their own webpages. They pay other people to do that for them. Instead, they focus on what actually makes money, which is the specialized knowledge that I teach in my course and that very few people know how to use.

QUESTION: “I am a Jack-of-all-Trades and have years of experience in medical research, alternative healing, spirituality, gourmet cooking, freelance writing. Problem is, I am passionate about all of these things and find it difficult to decide on what type of website to focus on.”
ANSWER: You have to pick one main market to focus on. This should be a market that’s large enough, identifiable and where people are interested in spending money to learn more about that.
It will help if it’s something that you’re passionate about, but it doesn’t have to be. The question you have to ask yourself is: what am I passionate about?
Think about where you spend your money, what types of books you buy, what websites you visit... what is the one thing that you tend to obsess about?
If you can’t find anything, ask yourself the next question, what could you be passionate about?
If you have many topics, pick the one that you feel the most passionate about and where there’s the most potential. In general, any topic related to health, alternative health is a very good choice of market.
QUESTION: How will my website be found on Google's first pages and not on page '76663838' at the end, where there is no traffic?
ANSWER: I’ve already talked about the importance of getting traffic to your website through other ways than search engines like Google. The problem with these search engines is that it takes a very long time to get indexed and start getting traffic, even if you put a LOT of efforts, time and resources into this. You can count on at least 6 months, if not 9 to 12 months.
So focusing only on getting rankings on Google is not your best strategy because you want to start building your list and getting traffic to your website right away!
There are many other ways to get traffic to your site. You can separate them in two categories:
- Free traffic
- Paid traffic
In the course “the Weekend Website” I give you my top 20 ways to start driving traffic to your website right from the start.
QUESTION: If I don't have actual products to sell. Is it possible to make money?
ANSWER: Yes, definitely! When you’re starting out, you will be selling other people’s products through affiliate programs, so you will earn a commission on the sale. That is very easy to set up and that’s what I recommend to have something to sell right away.
After that, you will have to create your own products. But you don’t have to worry about that for the first few months. Eventually, you will make more money selling your own products. In the course I give you the best steps to take to make that happen.
QUESTION: Why should I take your course if I already have a webmaster?
ANSWER: Actually, you do! Unless of course you already have a website that earns you a full-time income doing something that you love.
A webmaster is someone who will put up websites and make changes to webpages. It’s not someone who will teach you how to make money on the Internet.
In fact, if they really knew how to make money on the Internet, why would they be paid $15 or $30 per hour doing this job, when they could be earning 100K or more per year with their own website?
The webmaster is a technician — a very useful one! But in order to make money online, you have to be more than a technician. You have to develop your entrepreneurial mind and educate yourself on marketing and how to really make money on the Internet.

Hi Frederic,
I appreciate your work here. I have done some research and, as with so many things, it all comes down to figuring out whom one can trust. I agree with many of your ideas concerning other things, yet, right now, 700 dollars is a huge sum of money, considering what I presently make. You mentioned offering payment plans. I'd love to know more about this.
Sincerely,
Jonathan
