The second Essential Tool you need to build a great website is knowledge of HTML Codes.
Webpages are written in a computer language called HTML, which stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Don't get scared, it looks just like English, with some funny symbols peppered here and there. As mentioned in the previous page, you need to learn coding. To be exact, HTML Codes. HTML Codes are instructions you tell the Internet how you want to format your webpages. The basic HTML codes you need to know are:
Title
Body
Head
Html
Headers (H1, H2, H3, etc.)
Bold
Italic
Underline
Hyperlink
Table
In addition to the above, it would do you good to learn how to format size and colour of your font, background, border. More advanced features such as CSS would be helpful too, but are still all together very easy, that even a dummy could learn it (so if you have to, find a book for dummies and learn all about it). You can also go online to sites such as www.htmlcodetutorial.com to learn it yourself. If opening a book induces sleep, I would suggest that you enrol to a basic html course.
By now, I guess you have realised that HappyJoblessGuy is serious that you can earn an income without holding a job, if you seriously apply yourself to it. Also, you would nothing nowhere in this website will you hear me saying, "Click here to pay me $19.95 and I promise you'd start earning $1000 per day with your eyes closed". It won't happen here, because this website promises to be free. One day, you will be earning the $1000 per day from your web, and you'd look back and be thankful that I forced you to learn dry stuff like HTML Codes!
When I first started building websites in 1997, I used a "What You See Is What You Get" Page Editor. For the first one year or so, I tried to avoid learning and memorising HTML Codes. But I realised that was really a cumbersome way to learn. When you get the software to do things for you, it often makes decisions on your behalf. And you don't want that. So I bit the bullet and learned it. I don't need to be a website wiz, I just need to know enough of the basic stuff to get me going.

The Happy Jobless Guy's Way of Earning & Investing
If you wish to have a face-to-face conversation with me about my way of earning and investing, you make book an appointment with me - on the condition that it is done in Penang, and I do not have to travel far to meet up with you. I make myself available for one-hour sessions at RM100 per session. The purpose is to give you an insight of what I do which you may want to follow. I do not guarantee what I do will be applicable to you nor is it a session to share private details of my earnings and investments. It is to show you the things I do which you may want to consider for yourself. To book a session, contact me at the following email address:
