A great asset to any creative person especially a Jamaican should be a website. Not just any website, but one that can enhance you as a creative person, and certainly one that can build your financial strength.
As soon as you are deciding on building a website, try getting one that has the capacity to facilitate earning through internet advertising services. WordPress is a good start. Ask Jamaicans Carolyn Cooper and Dexter who both own fantastic WordPress blogs.
