41vFQftnSEL. SL160  Free Website Maker Review: Homesteads Is A Decent Option For Small Medium BusinessesKindle Mobile Friendly WebsitesYour Kindle can do more than read books - you can surf the Internet, check your email, play some great games, use it for grocery lists and class notes, and more. This guide is pretty simple: I show you over 300 mobile-friendly websites you can access with your Kindle. Some of you may say something along the lines of "I could find all of this stuff using a Bing or Google search, so why should I pay for this short book?"

If you did say that (or thought it), you would be correct: you can, for example, do a Bing search and find lists of various mobile websites that you could then surf with your Kindle. However, you would have to (a) find them, (b) move from your computer to your Kindle, and (c) might not have all of the ones I list here. However, for a small fee you can have them summarized in one place and one list (i.e., this eBook) that has over 300 of them categorized by topic that you can just open up on your Kindle and surf away.

Topics include:

• News websites
• Information sites
• Entertainment
• Business
• Portal
• Search / Shopping
• Sports
• Technology
• Travel
• Weather

Anybody who has built their own blog or website in WordPress has gotten frustrated at some point with the inflexibility of the themes that are provided by the site. Yes, the system is very easy to use, but you really do find early in that it is impossible to move a widget, change a color, or replace headers without knowing programming language and coding. As you find in the Builder Theme review, there is finally a way to make your blog or website stand out as a unique and dynamic tool for gaining brand recognition and visibility in your market.

The group that built the Builder have been dedicated to creating products to make WordPress a more useful tool for people. If you have set up a website or blog in WordPress, you have already experienced the inflexibility of the themes that are provided by the system.

The themes that are offered by WordPress are okay for a person when they are first starting are okay. You notice right away that you are limited, but most people just soldier on and try to function within the strict parameters that have been established. Eventually though, the urge to break those chains that are stopping you from creating a great website and making money are going to begin to take over. That is when a Builder program will start to really be worth the investment.

There are some great things about this program. It’s very easy to navigate, has some great tutorials, and there is always a video on the website that can give you tips and tricks for making things function more effectively. But, the program is really secondary to the team that build the program. We all know that a program is only as good as the people who stand behind it. Being able to watch Chris, one of the builders, go through each part of the program and explain how to move things or create something is really great.

I’m not a programmer or a “designer”. I am a person who wants to be able to tweak WordPress and not be forced to use a theme that I’m not 100% happy with. I needed something, a tool, that would give me the power to make my own designs, change colors, move widgets or choose a different theme.

Builder is so completely easy for a person like me to use. I love the drop-down boxes that walk me through my creative process. Nothing gets left out because I can see a little thumb nail of what I am doing as I go. It is possible to create a five page website that has all the bells and whistles within a half hour. Even less if you can keep from playing with the different features that the Builder offers.

Then there is the iThemes team. If I have a question, suggestion, or problem, there is somebody there who can help. The whole group is familiar with all of the intricacies of Builder and WordPress and can walk me through any issue easily. This is such a nice change from some programs I have purchased and then been unable to get any kind of support for.

It would be very hard for me to give you negatives about this program. I like the fact that the program was written in a way that allows me to play with the features and experiment with effects without messing up my data. I also appreciate that somebody on the team spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to be able to do and made it possible. This is a very unique program and I haven’t seen anything like it, so making a comparison with another product is not possible. It’s a cool program that you’re going to really like.

With the rising costs of gas, the number of people who shop online continues to grow daily. Countless numbers of folks are enjoying the comforts of shopping from home.

Which would you rather do… fight traffic, drive to the store, find a parking place, shop among crowds, shop only during the hours the store chooses to be open for business, spend money on gas? Or would you rather plop down in front of your computer with your favorite beverage and shop when and wherever you wanted, anytime of the day?

Selling handcrafts and homemade items online is a big business. There are tremendous online selling opportunities no matter what products you make. Big craft sellers include homemade candles, soaps, bath salts, candy, pottery, cheese, spice blends, potpourri, aromatherapy products, quilts, dolls, ornies, woodcrafts, and much more.

Having a website is much more affordable than many people realize. You do not need to hire a programmer or webmaster. You can use a do-it-yourself site builder and have your site up and functioning in less than a day, even if you are a total beginner.

There are site hosting companies that gear themselves to a particular niche, such as crafting and crafters, which in return helps the site owners fully develop their website’s potential because they are receiving very designated and targeted site building assistance.

For as little as $12.50 a month, you can have a craft website, including hosting and an easy to use DIY site builder. You will need a domain name, which is only $9 per year, and that’s about it. You can use PayPal to accept online payments, and the fees associated with that are very reasonable.

This means you can have your products available online for shoppers to purchase 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, for as little as 45 cents per day. Your products will be available for purchase even when you are sleeping. So why do you not have an online store for selling your crafts when it is this affordable?

If you are used to selling your crafts on EBay or other auction style sites, you already know there are fees involved with that and they are not cheap. There are store fees, listing fees, payment acceptance fees, and commission fees.

Having a presence on auction style sites such as EBay is still a workable solution, but use your presence there to prompt visitors to your own website store, saving you listing fees and commissions. Just be sure to follow the auction site’s policies for doing this.

Your niche craft site host will be happy to tell you ways to promote your site for free. You can use paid ways to promote your site as well, but take advantage of the free methods first.

You can be your own boss, make a living doing what you love, work the hours you choose, and allow your business to be as big or as small as you desire.

If you are a crafter and want to market your handcrafts online, what are you waiting for? The cost is very nominal, it is a lot of fun, and you’ll feel a great sense of accomplishment in running your own online business.

Start your craft website using the Penney Layne DIY Site Builder, easy enough for beginners to master quickly. Get more free info on launching and promoting your Craft Website at HandcraftMarket.com.
