I need you to answer the following questions:

1. Does ...

2. Does Bill Gates tune up any of the cars he owns?

3. Does Oprah Winfrey cook healthy, nutritious meals everyday?

4. Does President Bush mow the White House lawn?

5. Did Martha Stewart physically build the set that her show is broadcasted from?

6. Does Denzel Washington cut his own hair?

7. Does Paris Hilton prepare her own hors d'oeuvres for all of her parties?

8. Does Michael Jordan physically make basketballs?

The answer to each question is a resounding NO! But I'm sure that you already knew that. I guess that you're also asking, "What the heck do those questions have to do with me?"

Let's face facts. Every single one of the above questions could have been answered yes. But I bet that you know why that didn't happen. It's very simple really.

Those folks up there are entirely too busy working on what they do best, what they "specialize" in, where their major talent lies. Although they just might attempt to try one of those tasks, it would probably be safe to say that "at most" the finished product would reek of "AMATEURISH."

Now if you happen to be a professional website graphic designer, hey...just click off of this article. You already have the design skills to make a professional looking website with tantalizing graphics that everyone enjoys visiting and purchasing your products from.

Getting back on track...in addition to Denzel's haircut and the White House lawn looking pretty funny to everyone that feasts their eyes upon the completed work, you better believe that it was pretty frustrating and difficult for the person trying to master the task.

That's WHY they don't do those things! They all hire professionals to do those boring, frustrating, drive you to drink types of things. They want a finely tuned automobile, an absolutely gorgeous body, a lawn that looks like an heirloom carpet, a beautiful television venue to show their finest wares, a haircut that sets the standard in GQ, hors d'oeuvres that the caterer's new clients just have to have at their next affair, and a basketball that will bounce to the tune of the greatest basketball player that ever lived.

They all suck at making the other great stuff happen because they are entirely too busy making stuff happen for the rest of us.

Aren't you supposed to be doing the same thing? Are you one of the people whose time would be better spent in developing new marketing methods for the rest of us?

Should number 1 at the top of this page read:

1. Does (your name) create awesome professional website graphics on a daily basis?

Let's go further:

· Do you design website graphics for a living (that's 365 days 24/7 minus a holiday or personal day here and there)?

· Is graphic/website designing your hobby (that you're only just learning)?

· Are you using a generic (everybody is using the same one) website creation template for your site?

· Does your site really look professional to you (no one cares what your family and friends say)?

· Does your site bring to mind something you may have stepped in accidentally that doesn't smell too good?

Aren't you supposed to be focused on marketing your business? Wasn't that the reason you decided to become an extraordinary Internet Marketer? Isn't marketing your major talent?

When you were writing out your business plan, did you have any idea that professional website creation would be so darn hard? Should that page in your BP instead have the heading "Amateur Website Creation Plan" because that's exactly what it looks like?

Enough questions.

There is a world of difference between a website designed by a newbie or a pretty good amateur, and a website designed by an expert, professional web and graphic designer.

The key word here is "professional."

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ryan Jackson and I have played a major role in the complex world of professional web and graphic designing.

I take my graphic designing work very seriously and am highly involved in all aspects of this business on a daily basis. I am very familiar with design techniques that will make your visitor say "WOW!" It's not often that an individual is fortunate enough to be able to make a living doing exactly what they love to do. This is my full-time profession and I am enormously passionate about it. I have been involved in this business for well over six years, with two of those years being devoted to running a very successful graphic design studio.

I know what your website and marketing materials need to say to your customers. I know why your customers are leaving your website without a backward glance. I know why your visitors leave your website in 30 seconds or less.
