| Hi kzhunadia170zdthxzdfth, Today's email reveals the most important website building advice I have to offer, especially for people just getting started. If you're feeling a little overwhelmed... or you're not sure where to start... or you don't know what pages to include on your site... ... then this email will give you a step-by-step action guide for building a site you'll be proud to show to your friends and family. It all starts with a simple process I call "Model then Customize" — here's how it works: First, find a site that you like. Make sure it has the features and look-and-feel that you want for your site. This site is going be the model you look at while building your site. Note that I said "model" and not "copy". Think about how Pepsi modeled Coke. How Under Armour modeled Nike. How Google modeled (and then surpassed) Yahoo. This process worked for them, and it will work for you too. Here's how to follow this process to build your site. Step 1: Fire up Google Find a successful site that looks and functions like the site you want to build. The owners of that site probably spent thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars building it, and you can benefit from that time and money without spending a dime. After finding a site you like, you're going to use it as inspiration for your site. If they have an 'About Us' page, create one of your own, with content that fits your project or business. If they have a 'Location' page, you should too. And so on. Remember, you're not going to *copy* anything on the site. You're going to model it. The words and images on your site should be unique to you. Step 2: Find a Theme that fits your model. Browse the Theme library in the WordPress.com site building tools. Look for a theme that is similar to the look and feel of the site you're modeling. Don't worry about the pictures or the colors. You can always change those later to match your business. DO look at the layout. Is the menu where you want it? Do the home page sections allow you add the content you need? You'll see that many themes cost money to use. We call those "Premium Themes." We've partnered with professional WordPress Theme developers to make their best themes available to you, and you can get them for free if you upgrade your site to the Premium plan. This is a huge perk of a Premium membership plan because many of these themes cost $99 for just the theme. But you'll have free access to all of them included with your plan. That's well more than $1,000 worth of premium themes available to you for free. If you're having trouble finding a theme, that's no problem... Step 3: Let us help you find the best Theme for your project. We can help you select the perfect Theme. If you upgrade to any of our paid plans (which start at just per month), you'll gain direct access to our support team. After you upgrade, you'll see a "live chat" option in the lower-right part of your screen. To chat with one of our support team members (we call them Happiness Engineers), just click that button and a live chat window will pop open. Tell the Happiness Engineer that you want to build a site that functions like the site you're modeling (send them a link to the site you're looking at), and that you'd like help selecting a good theme. They know the available themes inside and out and will help you select the perfect one! Bringing it all together. First, find a successful site that you'd like to model. Piggy-back on all the work they've done and plan to create your own version of that site. Then browse our theme options and select the best fit. Or if you've upgraded to a paid plan, reach out to our support team and ask for help. Once you have the right theme, start plugging in your own words, descriptions, and images. Before you know it, you'll have your own version of that site you love. If you'd like to unlock both live chat support for help and free access to our library of premium themes: Click here to upgrade your site now. Regards,
