Creating a personal website can be a daunting task. It requires a thorough understanding of what you want to accomplish with what looks visually appealing. Personal websites generally don't have to include a ton of graphic design to look presentable although they should make use of the space appropriately and use complementing colors.
Sometimes, hiring a professional website design company can help you to formulate a plan of "attack" because they can often think of angles you hadn't previously explored. Professional website design ranges in price, usually at about $500 and higher. Start with about 1 - 5 pages and add more as needed.
Once you have your site set up and running, it's time to begin marketing yourself. Use a variety of tools such as networking sites like Twitter or Face book, affiliate links, and even submitting to major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, or MSN. The more effective your marketing strategy, the more traffic your site will receive and hopefully, increase the amount of sales.
