In this tutorial I discuss what service to use to create your website. Wordpress is used by 20% of all sites on the Internet. That should tell you all you need to know right there. Wordpress is by far the best and most popular online platform to create your website. After Wordpress, the second best is Squarespace. Squarespace has a number of problems. The first of those problems is that if you ever want to re-do your website on another hosting like Wordpress, you would have to rebuild it from scratch. Also, Squarespace does not allow you to have multiple sites under one hosting. So if you want to have more than one site, it is far more expensive than doing that with Wordpress hosting.
Lastly, Weebly is the third best in this group. I rarely see pretty sites made with Weebly. Weebly also has far less features and flexibility than Wordpress or Squarespace. So I would never use Weebly for my projects.
Again, take a look at this tutorial for how to create a Wordpress site and even get a free domain while doing it.
Since I originally posted this tutorial, some people have emailed me and thanked me because they created their website with Wordpress instead of Squarespace and found that to be a great option for them. Those people went on to grow their sites and asked me how to grow their website. Regardless of whether you use Wordpress, Weebly or Squarespace to create your website, you will need to become good at online marketing right after your site is live.

✂️ Design, Decorate, and Do It Yourself: The Howto & Style Genre
The Howto & Style genre is a massive, practical, and highly visual category dedicated to instructing viewers on personal improvement, crafting, home decor, and aesthetic skills. These videos serve as highly accessible, free workshops for mastering life skills and cultivating personal style.
The Pillars of Practical Instruction 🎨
This genre thrives on the promise of transformation—showing viewers how to achieve a desired outcome, whether it's a perfect smoky eye, a renovated piece of furniture, or a delicious meal. It emphasizes clear, step-by-step guidance and visually appealing results.
Key Content Formats and Niches 💄
- Beauty and Makeup Tutorials: Step-by-step guides on applying makeup, skincare routines, product reviews, and mastering specific looks (e.g., bridal, special effects).
- Fashion and Outfit Lookbooks: Videos showcasing various outfits, styling tips, clothing hauls, and advice on building a capsule wardrobe.
- DIY and Crafting: Instructional content for creating objects, including knitting, painting, jewelry making, and repurposing old items. The emphasis is on budget-friendly creativity.
- Home Decor and Organization: Guides for interior design projects, decluttering strategies, room makeovers, and specific furniture builds or hacks.
- Cooking and Recipes: Detailed video recipes, culinary techniques, meal prep guides, and taste tests. This niche focuses on both the process and the delicious final presentation.
- Life Hacks and Productivity: Quick tips and tricks designed to simplify daily routines, save time, or improve efficiency in various aspects of life.
The Deep Appeal of Learning and Aspiration 💡
Howto & Style videos succeed because they offer viewers immediate, actionable knowledge that leads to tangible personal or environmental improvements. They appeal to the desire for competence, beauty, and efficiency.
Motivation Through Demonstration ✨
The visual nature of video is perfect for this genre, as seeing the exact placement of a makeup brush or the correct way to hold a saw is far more effective than reading the instructions. The final reveal (the "after") provides powerful motivation.
Why This Content Goes Viral 🚀
- Before-and-After: Videos featuring dramatic transformations (makeovers, room flips, restorations) generate immense interest and shareability.
- Accessibility: Using common, affordable tools or products makes the project feel achievable for the average viewer. "Five-Minute Makeup" or "Under $50 DIY" videos are highly popular.
- Inspiration: The content feeds the viewer's aspirational side, providing achievable goals for personal style or home aesthetic.
- Trust in the Expert: Viewers develop trust in creators who consistently deliver reliable results and practical, high-quality instruction.
Tips for Creating Top-Tier Howto & Style Videos ✍️
Success in this genre depends heavily on clear communication, polished aesthetics, and meticulous attention to detail during the demonstration.
Production Essentials for Instruction 📸
- Close-Up Clarity: Use tight, well-lit shots to show the crucial details of the process (e.g., the needle threading, the blending of eyeshadow, the cutting angle). The viewer must see exactly what the creator sees.
- Excellent Lighting: Lighting is non-negotiable, especially for beauty and home decor. Natural, bright light is best for showing true colors and textures.
- Voiceover and Pacing: Use clear voiceovers that narrate every step, but maintain a quick pace. Edit out any downtime or unnecessary waiting periods (like paint drying).
- Final Reveal: Always include a high-quality, well-framed shot of the finished product. This is the payoff for the viewer's time and serves as a compelling thumbnail image.
