Dorm Room Biz: good advice. I agree. JJ, if I were you I would just start the blog first. You’ll most likely find that this is the only website you need. As you can see on this site, I have other static “pages” at the top just like a regular website, but the majority of content comes from the posts. Blogs tend to get more traffic and better search engine rankings than regular websites.

Niels: yes you are right its a free ebook, part of the free bonuses you get when you buy mine. Seth Godin is great. I’d recommend people read it whether you read my book or not.

I am intrigued by your site and your book. I want to try the book. But when I looked at your book page, I saw that you offer Seth Godin’s e-book “unleashing the idea virus” for free. That is remarkable since it is a free e-book already. So is this an illustration of your work? Is that whay you mean when you say that you don’t have to be original? I don’t get it.

@ JJ – First, a blog is a website. So you have to determine what your difference will be between a blog and a website. If you are going to have a blog on a topic and then create a website on something else then get seperate domain names. If you are going to create a blog about a company and then turn it into your companies website, set up the domain name as the company website and have the blog as a section of it. It depends on what you want to accomplish with each. You can even have your blog be your full website (if you were thinking about having seperate ones). Hope that helps a little bit!

I followed a link to your site a few days ago, and I’m very interested in your current topic. I’m looking into starting a blog and may set up a website later. Perhaps someone can post whether or not that sequence would work, or if it’s better to set up the website first. I’m wondering how difficult it would be to change the URL of the blog to the web address, and if (assuming someone had actually subscribed to my blog) the feed would still work.
