my own website

Yea thats a great idea and a good way to start your own little business to get you some extra income. The way to get started is to first look for somebody to host it for you and then you got buy a domain name in which with a website like this you probably won't have to pay much for the hosting just the domain which will run you around $5-10 a month. And you should also put Google Adsense on it to make some money too.
Good luck on your website and tell everybody when it is complete.

Yes, that certainly is one of the best ways of starting a business online. Many of my friends are doing that, and are doing very well. Some are selling products on their websites, and some are offering services such as trading representation. These are very much international. Ofcourse, it takes a while to get the website noticed in the market. But, just keep working, and one will succeed.
Good luck to you!

I think it sounds like a great idea! I myself have a website, but it's not by any means professional. I'm also not trying to necessarily SELL anything. If you're looking to start by using a free website I want to suggest weebly. The website is www.weebly.com It's pretty easy to use and well free. What's better than free? You might even want to start there and then as you start to earn some money maybe buy a domain. Ooh and I also just thought of etsy. Have you ever heard of that website? It's a site people sell "homemade" things. I've seen photography sold on there before and I'm pretty sure it's free to sell on there. The website is www.etsy.com . Another good way to spread the word, even if it's just about your website is Craigslist. I use that site for so many great things (found our apartment on there and I found my two most recent jobs on there too! We've also sold a lot on craigslist.) www.craigslist.com

I hope this was at least somewhat helpful!!

Its good that you are starting starting your own website on photography. I also have a photography website and you can take a look at it. I do sell photo on my website and I am planning to have an advertising place on it, but I am just waiting for a good alexa traffic rating. You can take a look at my website, www.thesevencolors.com

I have my hosting and domain name from webhostingpad. Its a very good host provider and I have experience downtime just once in 4 months. Check out my profile page to a link to webhostingpad.com
