[@ShawnaScott]

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.

[@digitaldupo]

I happen to be in the same position

[@mycrazylife408]

are you trying to switch from software engineering to web development??

[@StarStarPlayz]

I’m in a similar situation, I just want something that I can build whatever I want without being limited to what I can do

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

[@RaymondStone]

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

[@JerryLane]

😂 Design does matter, but the content will keep them there. A polished turd is still a turd 😅

[@burn_the_bridges]

Design does not matter *if you are using a platform like squarespace* since their default templates are already quite well-designed.

[@burn_the_bridges]

Obviously you are not going to go to a crappy looking website and think it's very trustworthy. Design does matter.

[@JerryLane]

@@burn_the_bridges I would remain under the belief that design is important to a point but the content matters most. Maybe less so at the start but having brand assets that are aligned to your brand and implementing those into your website design does matter with time.

[@burn_the_bridges]

@@JerryLane The content keeps the website going

[@dylanlau2389]

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!

[@jameseniolafaleti3583]

What website did you use?

[@weebywo6501]

heyy I'd like to know how you got an audience for your blogs. i have started a blog before, but I didn't know how to get more people to read it and ultimately gave up. i prefer not using social media platforms for promoting.. is there any way?

[@fahadbshahid]

Just know your first 50-100 blogs will be worthless. Might as well get through it. :-D

[@dylanlau2389]

@@weebywo6501 definitely not an expert in this but I’ve found a lot of support just from meeting people through communities and reaching out on Twitter. Good place to start but any reason why you don’t want to use socials?

[@fawadjamal1458]

REALLY?

[@BombaclaatGatofish]

I'm overthinking tf outta this

[@daveross8]

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.

[@naveedaman1]

What's your website about. I want to make a website for scholarship opportunities and was curious whether ghost would be the right option or should i choose other platforms

[@akuya-ekorot]

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

[@MayanPatel1]

He's totally right for anyone starting out it's an extra. Accessibility is the foundation of good design and if that's catered for by a default theme then that's perfect. Once your own content/images are in it's branded enough

[@8koi139]

Lmao, you should see the landing page of the ads of the 10X guy, forgot his name. It literally red wors on white bg, but the content it's amazing

This video is like boom 😮😮😮. I almost paid I guy this week to create a website. That’s crazy. I gonna start this week. I recently had the desire to start writing a book. But it wasn’t really a book I wanted to write. But just sharing the billions of things in my head and I am pretty sure people will easily resonate with that because of our shared consciousness. Thank you for this video. It changed my way of seeing things. 🔥🙏🏿

[@aadeorukhkar]

@Aliabdaal: The video is misleading, not just because it is a repackaged version of the same old 3 y old video, but the worse part is the information is no longer correct: Ali did use ghost, but that’s no longer true. The website is moved to Rockbase. Also, google stopped offering domains more than a year ago. If you are using 2025 in title, at least use updated contents.

[@RobertCBrown]

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

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.
