Why did you decide to write this book?

I used SEO to fight through the hardest keywords in the world – working from home – and helped Remote Employment to become Google’s No. 1 Worldwide for home based jobs, flexible jobs and working from home.

As such, I am often asked to talk on the subject, as well as creating a successful online presence. I’m always asked the same questions again and again. I found that so many start ups are in the same shoes as I was in a few years ago and I thought ‘I could write a book on how to create a successful website’. And so I did.

Who is the book for?

The book is ideal for Artists and Creatives, Associations, Actors and Sports Personalities, Authors and Writers, Book Clubs, Churches, New and Established Business, Career Hunters, Community Groups, Amateur Film Makers, Graduates and Students, Hobby-ists, Home Industry, Internet Entrepreneurs, Practitioners, Professionals and Freelancers, Party Plan Agents, Retailers and Tradespeople. Even people setting up a family website, in fact it’s for a whole A to Z spectrum of readers.

The book is already acknowledged for its easy to understand writing style. Was this planned?

I am thrilled with those comments. The angle’s unusual – I wanted to write a practical guide about creating a successful website for the beginner from a beginner’s point of view – the kind of book I couldn’t find when I was creating my business websites.

What was your inspiration for this book?

The inspiration for the book grabbed me after I was invited by BT to talk on the subject of creating online success at the everywoman conference in November last year. On the train home I was still buzzing after having met so many people who were in the same ‘novice’ shoes as I was only a few years ago and I decided to write a beginners guide on how to create a successful website.

Where can Create a Successful Website be purchased?
