📚 Pre-order my book to get an exclusive ticket to The Feel-Good Productivity Annual Planning Workshop in January 2024! www.feelgoodproductivity.com/?How+To+Build+A+Website+in+2023

At this rate, I won't even have to go to school anymore cos Ali will teach me everything I need in life...

I’m a software engineer, and this is the most refreshing intro to having a website I’ve ever seen from another technical person. Thank you for making such a practical intro. It really gets to the core of what stops people from making their own site-fear and indecisiveness, of choosing the wrong publishing platform, thinking they have to understand complex stuff that doesn’t matter, or of not knowing what to say. Perfection.

Love how it’s been updated to 2024

bro predicted 2023 2 years ago

This is exactly what I needed to listen to today. I've had 'create a website' on my "To Do" list for months now. I needed the straight-skinny, the 1-2-3 on what to do which you provide here. Thank you. It was perfect.

Ali at 19:54: "The design does not matter." Me, the UX/UI designer: 😮

I published my first article yesterday, thanks to you, Ali. Your KZfaq course on Skillshare is a goldmine. I actually created a website for my former employer, I never thought of DOCUMENTING my own life this way. Starting out TODAY

Thanks to Ali, I started my blog at the beginning of the year. 4 months of publishing every week has taught me so much I didn’t know about myself and allowed me to meet so many great people. Even though hardly anyone reads the things I’m writing, it has truly been personally transformative. For anyone needing advice, encouragement, accountability or help, I’m here for you!

For all the overthinkers, this is an excellent video. Thanks for sharing your experiences and also assuring us of the things we DON'T need to worry about when we're starting out!

"In 2024" but the video is 2 years old, who are you trying to fool?

Mate, I've been thinking about setting up a personal website for years but lie firmly in the 'noob' camp. This has given me the tools to move forward my friend and just wanted to say thank you

Your videos are lit mate! It has literally TRANSFORMED my life! It was completly in a slump and now I have started doing a lot of productive things that add value to my life! Can never thank you enough bru!

From the bottom of my heart: A) Really good video B) True Information C) No Crapy content D) On the point and last but not the least It really encourages you !

I agree! Creating a website can be so easy since there are so many templates out there and you don’t need any knowledge on coding.

I feel relief after watching this lol

I love that you used Sheen to explain the benefits of having a website. I hope she stops spitting in your coffee now 😂😂

building my own website has seemed like such a daunting task that i've been putting it off for actually months 😬 this is exactly the breakdown i was looking for 😯 thank you Ali!

the music alone just inspired me to build a website and start blogging. lol I'm not sure what or why but I feel extremely inspired to get after it now. I've been procrastinating around building out a website because I didn't understand the value but it makes sense now. even if you're blogging and making videos and sending people to both. the monetization isn't really important it's the building a personal brand that really matters. having your own website is the ultimate social platform.

This guy always prove why people love him Nobody ever talk so frankly and openly about sponsor and affiliates link

This fits perfectly in my “watch later” playlist 🤩

Ali: "The design doesn't matter" Me, planning to write about design: 😲

I always feel I'm above the world when I watch your videos. I might not make it in a life time but watching you is always a joy ❤️❤️❤️

Bro how many mark you get in speaking test? The way you speak so confidently and fluently makes me very stunned.

“When you have your own website you can expose yourself...in a non-weird way” 😂

I watched this video and straight away created my personal website... It's been a month and it actually helps me reflect upon my life much easier. Thank you Ali!

Thanks Ali for all the precious advice. I'll stop overthinking and just go for it !

Thank you so much for making this video. All the details you've shared are so useful to someone like me thinking of having my own website. As you said overthinking and lacking confidence can definitely delay any planning. Really loved every information ❤️

It's crazy how useful your videos are! This was super informative. Really like the idea of having "a personal home on the web."

I made a website with WordPress and it was definitely challenging but I DID IT 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Great video! ❤️

Am consuming yours content 🤩

Not what I was looking for, because I was aiming for tips on a professional website for my business, but still watched it till the end and learned a lot. Thanks.

I started my food/travel blog 8 years ago and in most job interviews, I've been able to bring it up as a talking point. Interviewers also love chatting about it :)

Doctor, successful youtuber, and now a web developer - don't know how you do it.

People watching in 2024: 👁👄👁

As a South African, I love the table mountain displate. So nice to see a little bit of home in such a random place

The points Ali made about "what to do with websites" on 14:27 are solid gold!

Thank you, Ali! I've been sitting on my potential for too long. I'm 57 now and have a lot to share about personal development and transformation, even though I've actually been a carpenter and handyman most of my life. I'm getting that domain tonight, and a platform by tomorrow.

I'm THIS many years old, and I feel like you just changed my outlook for reals! LOL Thank you so much for your transparency and for being aware how daunting website creation may be. Shout out to your house mate! That helped a lot!

WAIT. This is a *youtube video* about *websites* that is *not* sponsored by squarespace????? This cannot be real 😍 *Instant fav*

This guy literally is orienting our life to a better path, your Productivity videos have helped me be more structured and organised! :D

Ali is just someone unique. You make me more confident daily, thank you for that

The music in the background literally made it easier for me to concentrate. Like floating on a cloud while processing. Thank you.

Many of subscribers find building a website daunting, but this video shows how simple it can be. I'll share for sure!

I love how actionable your videos are! Just registered my first domain and signed up for ghost

Thanks! Since I knew nothing about creating a web site 22 minutes ago. This is a great start for me. I've been retired for 2&1/2 years. I work as a substitute teacher now. I enjoy working with the kids, but I am in a serious rut. I still feel like I'm capable of more than this - year in and year out, until I'm ready for the rocking chair. And I don't need a two month vacation every summer. Started a web site sounds like a great way to make a mark, and who knows, one day it might lead to that unique opportunity for me.

This has to be the most straight forward , clear and and easy to digest information. Thank you

You're a gent and a scholar Ali. Seriously - you're changing lives.

Thanks for the breakdown, Ali! Seems like you're teaching us a crash course about life and everything! Wonderful to see Sheen in your videos once again!

Learning more things on KZfaq than my $40,000 college education.

1st time I'm on your video and i begun your fan!!! Loyal and straight forward😊

Ali: "the ridiculous notion that everything on the internet..." Thomas Frank: "did somebody say Notion 👀"

I need to do this! I really want to make a website but didn’t know how! Thank you so much!

Thank you Ali. This is brilliant and is very helpful. You've answered many questions and more. You certainly helped me boost the confidence to get started, knowing it doesn't have to be complicated to get started. I will certainly keep that quote in mind; Document, don't create.

I love how you discuss website building and focus on the writing. Document, not create. 💗💗💗💚

"I know how asian parents are like" totally relatable 7:45

Ali,im waiting for a "my insanely productive ramadan" video,dont let me down homie :D

I created a site on ghost before realizing that it's not a "website" publisher in the generic sense, it is a blogging platform. And in my anxiousness to create that site I paid for a year, which seemed to be necessary to setup my (already owned) primary domain name. As I researched how to do basic things on it that you may need if you want to to anything other than blog, it becomes apparent that Ghost is a pure blogging site builder. You can do other things with it, but not without more advanced skill, and there are technical limitations under the hood that limit the potential for other uses.

Hey Ali, thanks for sharing!

I will be watching the video few times to get everything he said! i feel like im back to school and i have to be really focused for the first time......

Hey Ali long time subscriber first time commenter....this video literally came at the perfect time and it was just the sign and motivation I needed. Your videos have all had a way of coming at the right time for me so far. Thank you :)

This is the first channel I am hitting the bell icon. More power to you bro.

"Document, don't create" Love it. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ali, so basically you talk alot about how opening yourself to the world changed your life and how all the work you do online positively impacted you but for a change can you also talk about how all this has negatively impacted you, what were the draw backs, how did you seldom regret your choices. That'd be an amazing insight. Thank you

Wow, thank you for all the work you put into your videos! I think I have developed the most this year thanks to all of the advice you give us. Have a great day.

Yes i had same problems with what you said about "thinking that platform matters". Now, I go with wordpress. Thank you Ali

You're inspiration! Thank you!

Really needed this video! Thanks for the help Ali, as always. I'd love to hear more about creating/maintaining a blog!

This is an awesome video! I really like the idea that right now it’s more about social media sharing. I especially love the ending encouragement on how it’s a growth journey from little viewers to getting more as we improve ourselves.

This is the most descriptive, detailed, simplest just everything video I have ever seen. At the beginning of creating a website myself. Excellent video, I’ll be sure to come back in a years time after I’ve grown to say thank you again. But for now, thank you for this video 👏

Love the way he articulates so clearly. Sure that comes from lot of writing indeed!

This is so simply and genuinely put. Thank you for this video and the guidance! It's definitely what I was looking for so far. P.S. You've got + 1 subscriber!

This is such a great video. I feel like I came to figure out what I need to get a link and working webpage and now it doesn’t feel intimidating. It also feels like I just got solid advice on brand building. Thank you Ali.

This video has been very inspiring for me. Thank you, Ali I have created my own website today with the approach of "perfect is the enemy of taking action" and it will evolve during the next months where I've set the target of posting one idea per week to create a solid habit

Thank YOU! This is very informative.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone 😊 Greetings from Scotland 🌻

Thank you. Simple, straightforward. I liked that it's "I just had the idea to start a blog 3 seconds ago" to have something published in a week. With some general long-term goals to give direction past "just write/post." Google search was a lot to shift through when you don't know what you need to know. Glad I got this recommended to me today!

Ali you must hear this everyday but you are really amazing and your content has been incredibly valuable to me. Thank you!!

Great video! very helpful, thanks!

Never thought of creating a personal website, only business! Very good ideas and reasons why! Thank you :)

I could watch you all day! The work you put towards organizing and creating your content is so evident!

Simple and to the point.

Great content Ali.

Glad to see this video I am looking for a video where I get know about website building from scratch highly appreciated 👍🏼🍒

How did bro make this in 2022💀

Great video Ali! I've learned a lot from you since I started watching your channel. You've inspired me to keep working on my KZfaq channel and personal website. I did a 30 day KZfaq channel earlier this year, and your videos were a big part of that motivation. Thanks!

Hello Ali! Thank you for your video and explanation! I wanted to know how to start my own online English business, so I will try Ghost to see if it fits my needs. But what I want to highlight here is that you are encouraging!

Thank you!!! I love how you simplify digital stuff,it seems less scary when you talk about it. Thanx😊🙏🏽

My heart fell for u when u said " I know how Asian parents are like".I am going through that now.

six benefit : 1. Personal idea 2. Prof. Life/Online CV 3. Give Connection 4. Expose yourself to opportunities 5. Lot more impact 6. 2 things need to built a website 6:12 (1platform, 2Domain) 6:30 3 suggestions

7:50 I laughed at this because I’m 17 years old and I also built my first website when I was 12. My mum still controls my spending and I have no credit card, apart from the fact that my parents are really strict, so I haven’t been able to build a proper website yet since I’d have to pay for it. Basically, thank you for your good transparent content and for being such an inspiration for people like me :) you’re undoubtedly my favourite KZfaqr

Possibly the best channel on KZfaq in this niche. Hands down!

This was inspiring. I've really been wanting to start a blog or website and just been in a funk lately. I want to have an impact since I was 13 just never had the courage to start. Been failing at different aspects of my career life but this video helped encourage me that maybe I could have a possibility to have a voice with the personality I have. Your roommates story was inspiring.

Damn man, You should've been in marketing. You really good at convincing people into stuff that they weren't gonna check out at all xD

7:47 Man you listed all of my problems in 20 seconds. I feel like you're the only person on KZfaq who understands us Desi boys' conditions

then you know how i feel 😄 really really thanks!

is this guy a time-traveler because this video was made 3 years ago and says how to make a website now

Was this video created in 2021? Because you simply say that in the video, however the title of the video states 2024. The main point i want to know is that if this really comes from 2021, has there been any better options recently or now? Plus, do you mainly recommend any websites platforms for affiliate marketing? At the end, tons of thanks Ali for breaking down everything in your informative videos.

I’m doing a bracelet Webstie and this helped me thank you so much!

Oh my heck!!! I’m 73 years old. When I was 30 years old I was asked to write a column for a monthly newspaper that covered 3states. 1977 there were no computer social media blogs. I did not have time to develop content. I documented my life as a mom with 7 kids under 10, a cancer survivor. It turned out to be sarcastic and humorous. DOCUMENT NOT CONTENT
