I'm going to ask a serious question and I'd appreciate serious opinions back because I'm sure a “real answer” is all a matter of opinion...
Do you think it's possible, in this day and age, to create a Fastlane business online (whatever that business may involve... either affiliate marketing, selling products physical or digital, selling services or something else online, perhaps a membership site or a social media site, etc) that is 100% created and ran using Wordpress? Let's even take it down a notch and assume the person who came up with the idea and starts the website (me) is say and “intermediate” level user with Wordpress. So I know how to use it and can troubleshoot and figure out a lot of things on my own but I'm by no means a “web programmer.” Do you think it's possible I could be successful, or do you think it's absolutely necessary I hire a programmer to professionally design and develop my website to compete with sites in my niche?
I have ideas for websites all the times, most of them are crap yes... but I have a few good ones and I'm just not sure if I should go for it and try and make it own my own, or try and get professional help. Only problem is, I don't have the funds to pay for professional help, and if my website doesn't turn out to make me any money, then I'm in the negative and it's back to square one. At least if I design and make it myself, I won't lose any money if my site doesn't make me any money. But is this even possible??
Thanks!!
