Danny Walsh argues creators should own a simple personal website instead of relying on funnels or apps. A basic site with your name, work description, and proof of credibility costs about $10 per year for a domain and builds trust. Walsh uses his own sites to showcase self-published books, testimonial videos, and speaking engagements, which generate inquiries.
And having your own personal website online, not some sales letter or some funnel or, you know, some kind of, you know, elaborate app or anything crazy. It's just a website that says, this is me and this is what I do and this is some proof. That one thing gives you proof, it gives you credence, it gives you trust, it gives you like a presence. And it costs you $10 a year for a domain name. Now you'd have to pay for a website and all the things and build something up, a or whatever you want to do, use AI. But most people don't have this. They build something with a brand, right? Has anybody got a brand website but they don't have their own personal name out there right now showing them? You know, I mean, I mean, Dickie Ball, I hate that stuff, right? I'm like, oh man, give me a t-shirt. But I mean, in my Dickie Ball stood speaking at an event, and that's proof. And then on the page I've put the 3 books that I've written. I published them on Amazon, self-published them. You know, I've not sold a million copies, but they're my books and the proof, and people buy them and it's really exciting. I've got loads of testimonial videos at the bottom from people I've worked with. Some are better than others, but it's proof and it's important. And then I've got links to lots of other things on there as well, which is just stuff in my network that people buy and people get involved in, and funnels and all the rest of it. But it comes from a personal website. And it was danny.co.uk, and then I changed it to, you know, dannywalsh.net, right? So recently done a new version. I love it, and I think it's working because I'm getting feedback and I'm getting questions. So if you've not got a personal website, that's something that you should significantly, uh, seriously consider.
