7 Fisherman’s Tips to Avoid Losing Money on Your Website Design
Summary:
Over 90% of new websites fail, which is why web hosts can afford to charge minimal fees?"they profit from the many failures while providing services to the few successes. Just like a fisherman knows not to fish in a bathtub, your website design should reflect the same level of intelligence.

Designing a website that captures customers is much like fishing. Here are seven tips to ensure your site makes money.
1. Research
Think fishermen don’t research? They know not to fish in a bathtub or search for dorado in the USA. They understand that lemon meringue pie on a sardine hook won’t catch sharks.
Imagine you've created a cure for Paraguayan piques, invested in a fancy web design, yet your site isn’t generating income. Research would have revealed that:
- Your target audience speaks Guaraní, not English.
- Most of them can't read.
- Few own computers.
A glance at Overture could have shown that only 3,791 people searched for "pique" in a month, mostly interested in polo, not insects. Perhaps targeting the 1,432 searching for "Jiggers" (mainly North Americans) would be more lucrative? Without proper research, you’ve been fishing in your bathtub!
2. Preparation
Like a fisherman knowing the local fish and best spots, you must identify your audience. My research showed "website" had half a million searches, but not specifically for design. "Website design" was more targeted. Despite 239 advertisers, there were only 24 million competitors. Contrast that with "build a website," which had fewer searches but 337 million competitors.
Find what people want, then design your site with content they’re seeking. If there's no interest in your topic online, consider offline advertising or a different website focus.
3. Attract Visitors
Just as fishermen use oatmeal to lure fish, your website needs to draw visitors. Design an attractive site that pulls people in.
Google Adsense can monetize this type of site effectively.
4. Ongoing Research
You must continually research, like fishermen learning how to keep bait on the hook. Visit forums, search for information, and experiment.
Never stop refining your website design with diverse ideas and track your results.
5. Pre-Sell
With fish circling your bait, you need to convince them it's worth biting. Your site should convey enthusiasm and expertise about what you’re selling.
6. Arouse Enthusiasm
Keep things dynamic to entice your audience:
- Act while it’s available!
- Compete with others!
- Don’t miss out!
For affiliate income-focused sites, let vendors handle the final sales pitch.
7. Seal the Deal
Once the fish bites, set the hook. With effective website design, your client is engaged and ready to commit.
Bonus Tip
Retain customers by ensuring they’re so satisfied they return. A well-designed website should include:
- A contact page.
- Frequently Asked Questions.
- Additional related sales opportunities.
Avoid “eating” your customer; keep them loyal and returning.
By following these tips, your website design can avoid costly errors and become a lasting success.
