10 Things You Need to Know to Start a Successful Website from Scratch

The Classroom Exit Strategies Podcast

I’m going to be completely honest...knowing how to start a successful website with no prior knowledge of the “techy” lingo is tough. I found that out the hard way when I decided to start my blog back in 2016.

I literally just woke up one day with this hair-brained idea that I would start a blog. I figured it wouldn’t be that hard; I would just write some pretty words, maybe mention some interesting stuff, and people would love it.
Ahhhh, gotta love 2016 Jennifer…she was just so clueless.
What I discovered was a seemingly insurmountable learning curve that I almost quit on at least 50 times. Every single task was new. The language was new, the platforms were new, and I knew absolutely zero about any of it.
I spent hours every day trying to figure out what I was doing, and those hours turned into days, weeks, and eventually months of learning.
Now, you might be wondering why after all that struggle I would suggest that anyone else dive into the deep end. Well, I am so glad you asked because even though you are jumping into the deep end, I am going to teach you everything you need to know to stay afloat!
Today we are going to talk about the 10 things you need to know to start a successful website from scratch. There is a lot to it, but I promise, it’s totally doable once you know the language and understand the central focus.
