Speaker A

A personal brand website is the single most important thing you can build right now, and here's why. The internet is filling up really fast with AI-generated everything. You know, generic sites, generic copy, and nobody wants to work [music] with those businesses. The ones

00:15

Speaker A

cutting through all of that are built around a real person, a face, a story, a real point of view. You know, that's what the right personal brand website [music] gives you. It lets people get to know who you are and see exactly how you

00:30

Speaker A

solve their problem. But, here's the weird part. The fastest way to build a site that proves you're real is with AI, but only if you use it the right way.

00:40

Speaker A

So, today I'm going to show you my two-tool process for creating really beautiful, high-converting personal brand websites like these in minutes.

00:50

Speaker A

For the first time ever, you truly don't need any, and I mean any, design or writing skills to make something that looks like this. Most tutorials like this just have you follow along while they build one website that you

01:03

Speaker A

basically end up copying for yourself. [music] We're not doing that today. Instead, I'm going to give you the exact prompt that does all of the research and writes every word of content that your site needs in minutes. Then, I'm going

01:16

Speaker A

to show you how to feed that straight into the best AI website builder on the market right now, and then how to fine-tune the design just by chatting with it until it looks exactly the way you want. So, whether you're an author,

01:29

Speaker A

a coach, a consultant, a speaker, or any front-facing service provider, let's get into it. But, we're actually not going to start with the web builder. We're going to start right here in ChatGPT.

01:41

Speaker A

You can use Claude if you want, but basically what we have to do is plan the website and get all the research done and the entire website written for you.

01:49

Speaker A

We got to start there. Every good website starts with the content, not with the design. So, you will find a really good long prompt in the description below. I want you to copy that and paste the whole thing in here.

02:01

Speaker A

You can go through that on your own time when you want to if you want to see what it's doing, but all you need to know is this is designed to take your details and make the perfect website for it. So,

02:11

Speaker A

um what you need to do is take a little bit of time to fill in. So, you're going to scroll all the way down to where the bottom where it says user inputs.

02:20

Speaker A

From there, you're going to fill in everything in brackets as best as you possibly can. The deeper you go here, the better job it's going to be able to do. Otherwise, it's going to be a little thin and a little generic. So, take may-

02:30

Speaker A

maybe 15-20 minutes and just really get it in here. Doesn't matter how you write it. Doesn't have to be long-form or well-written. It just has to be your ideas um in here somehow. The AI does a great job of transforming rough ideas

02:44

Speaker A

into finished copies. Here's an example of how I would fill this in. We're just going to do this as an example for a life coach and and keynote speaker, but you would just put in your personal details, whatever your brand is about.

02:55

Speaker A

And then we're going to make sure that we're turning on deep research mode. And this is important cuz it's going to go out into the web and in forums and stuff and find real people with real problems and use their words on your site, which

03:09

Speaker A

is way more powerful than just talking about things the way you would talk about them. So, it's going to do that and click on this arrow and we're going to let it run. Now, it's probably going to take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes

03:22

Speaker A

to complete this. So, while that's doing that, let's get you set up on the website builder. So, this is Hostinger Horizons, and I think this is the best AI website builder on the market today because it does several things really

03:35

Speaker A

well, and it's pretty unique. It actually uses Claude code and Google AI Studio under the hood, which are both of those are kind of the gold standard these days for AI website building, but it gets better than that because if you

03:47

Speaker A

use one of those tools, you're basically left with a really nice-looking prototype that you can't do anything with. It kind of just lives in a window.

03:56

Speaker A

Uh you can't really share it unless you're a developer of some kind. It doesn't really have hosting, but Hostinger solves for that. So, not only does it use those uh tools under the hood, but it comes with the hosting

04:07

Speaker A

component, too. So, at the end of this, you actually have a website on your domain name. You know, like your business name.com. So, um if you use the link below, you're going to be taken to my landing page. This is my affiliate

04:19

Speaker A

code. I do get a small commission when you use this, but I recommend it because it's just it's the best thing I've come across. You're going to get a deal when you use that. You're going to click on

04:26

Speaker A

start now. Now, I'm not going to walk you through every step here, but I do want to show you your basic options. So, right away, you don't need these two right here. They're probably just going to be too much. Um so, you're left with

04:37

Speaker A

explorer or starter. Now, starter tends to be my pick just because you get more with it. You get a free domain for a year, your business name.com. With this, you don't, so you'd have to either pay for it or you would just have some

04:51

Speaker A

spammy-looking link that doesn't that's not branded to you. Uh this one also gives you up to 25 websites or apps. Um this one only gives you one. Maybe you only need need one, that's fine. But, if you're any kind of a web pro and you

05:04

Speaker A

need to do this for clients, you probably need more than one. This also lets you sell products, so if you're an e-commerce store, you definitely need this plan anyway. But, this is the big one for me. It lets you actually use

05:16

Speaker A

image prompts. Now, why is that important? Because it lets you upload an image of a website you like, and it can do a pretty good job matching those styles. With this, you only get uh text prompting, meaning you have to kind of

05:30

Speaker A

tell it with words. So, you're basically left to just say like the colors you like, and it's kind of hard to describe anything more than that. So, for our purposes, we're going to select on the starter plan, but feel free to use the

05:42

Speaker A

explorer plan if you'd rather. So, now it asks you what uh period do you want, 1 month or 12 months? Now, if you do 1 month, you only get 1 month of the dis- of the discount. Uh 12 months, you lock

05:54

Speaker A

it in for a year. So, I'm just going to do that, and you can see the WEST10 coupon is applied, saving you more money. From there, you just click on continue, and it's going to ask you to register.

06:04

Speaker A

Just log in with your Google account or just put in an email address and a new password, and then you'll get to this page where you just put in all your billing information and your payment information, and then you just complete

06:15

Speaker A

the registration process from there. And you're going to get to a page that looks just like this where we can prompt what we want our website to be. So, you could just tell it a little little bit about

06:23

Speaker A

your business. You could tell a little bit about the styles you want and let it run, but we can do this better cuz we did the ChatGPT step. So, we're going to have all the content all ready to go.

06:34

Speaker A

So, let's check in on that. Okay, so it's all finished. We have first an outline followed by all of the content for the entire website start to finish.

06:44

Speaker A

Pretty cool. So, if you you want to read through it at this stage and ask for any changes you don't like, but um let's just assume it's all good to go. I'm just going to copy all of it. So, I'm

06:54

Speaker A

going to type in So, I've said create a personal website using this exact content. Do not deviate from it or leave anything out. Now, will it deviate from it a little bit? Probably so, but we can fix that later. I'll show you how you

07:07

Speaker A

can make manual edits, but this getting stern with it up front just kind of helps it not to drift too far. So, from there, I'm just going to paste in all that con

07:21

Speaker A

literally copy-paste. Now, we could upload an image here of a website we like for look and feel. I don't like to do it at this stage, though, because that's going to overwhelm the system with all this copy. Then it has to get

07:34

Speaker A

the design right. We're just going to do it without that yet, and then we'll do that as a further step. So, I'm going to click right here to let that run. Now, it may have some follow-up questions for

07:43

Speaker A

you. So, make sure that it doesn't have anything else it needs from you in order to start. So, it does look like it has a few questions. It's saying, "Let me confirm a few details." So, what you want to do is write down in this box.

07:56

Speaker A

You just want to answer the questions as fully as you can. And this is how I've answered the questions, super simple, just commas between them. You don't have to format it in any certain way, and I'm going to click there, and we will get it

08:07

Speaker A

to run for us. Let's see what our first draft looks like. Okay, so here's what it's giving us to begin with. Um it looks pretty good. It looks pretty clean and professional. Not a lot of photos. It's mostly text-based, but a

08:19

Speaker A

nice layout. So, what I want to show you, though, is how we can kind of give it a little bit more visual style. So, the way we do that is generally by not through words, but through photos and images. So, what you

08:34

Speaker A

want to do ideally is find a website you like for look and feel. Like either you like the colors or there's just something about it, a vibe, an essence that you kind of want to transfer into your own site. So, maybe you have a site

08:46

Speaker A

already, in which case you would just take some screenshots of it, simple as that. Or, this is the site I like to go to for inspiration. Dribbble with three B's. It's a site where designers upload their own work, and there's a ton of it,

08:58

Speaker A

so it's great for inspiration. And I do want to let you know, in case you're worried, um we're not going to be copying anything cuz Horizons doesn't really copy and clone websites that you give it. It just will take the colors,

09:11

Speaker A

it'll take the overall vibe, and it'll kind of translate it over. So, we're not copying, we are just taking inspiration.

09:18

Speaker A

So, what you want to do is type in whatever you're looking for. So, if this is a speaking like a speaker's website, life coaching website, we might type in personal brand coach website. I don't know. Like you can get started any way

09:31

Speaker A

you want, but you're basically just going to be looking for something that catches your eye for one reason or another, and there's a lot of good choices here. I think something like this looks really nice, but I really

09:42

Speaker A

like this one. Now, is it going to get all of these textures in there exactly right? Like I said, it's not, but it's just going to it's got that darkness. I feel like it looks kind of cool. So,

09:52

Speaker A

let's go with this. I'm just going to right-click, copy image. We'll go back to our website, we'll go down into the chat over here.

10:01

Speaker A

And by the way, worth mentioning, I haven't talked about it yet, credits. So, every time you chat with the AI, it's going to use up one credit.

10:11

Speaker A

So, remember when you signed up, you either got 30 a month or 70 a month.

10:15

Speaker A

Now, 30's probably going to do you just fine. You're probably not going to have over 30 requests a month. But, depending on how picky you are, you might. So, just know every time you chat with it, it's going to use one credit. So, I'm

10:27

Speaker A

just going to say, "Restyle the site with this inspiration image as your guide." Now, you want to go a step further, ideally, and tell it what you like about it. That's going to help it really focus on the right parts. So, I

10:38

Speaker A

said, "I like the dark, modern, luxury look of it. Match it as best you can." And then I'm going to paste the image in. You can also click on upload image if you if you downloaded it. So, we're

10:49

Speaker A

going to do that, and we're going to let it run for draft two. Okay, so here's what we've got. It doesn't match exactly. There's a few things we still need to do. So, overall, I think it looks pretty good. We probably still

11:01

Speaker A

have the most work to do up top here. Um but, I think this all looks pretty good. Now, you could say it's more blue than black.

11:09

Speaker A

It's really easy to just uh chat with it over here and say, "Swap the blue for black." It's It's very easy to do that. But, let's focus on the images for a minute. Since this is the personal website, your photos need to be

11:22

Speaker A

kind of front and center. People need to get to know you on your website here.

11:26

Speaker A

So, maybe you have great professional photos of yourself. Maybe you don't. The good news is, these days you can do a lot of things with AI, including getting really premium-looking photos of yourself. So, right here on ChatGPT, it's a really great image generator now.

11:41

Speaker A

All you need to do is drop in any old snapshot you have of yourself. You could even just do a selfie where you sit right now, and ask it to do anything with that photo. So, let's check that

11:52

Speaker A

out. I might drop in just a again, just a selfie. This isn't me. This is just an example. And I would say, "Turn me into a public speaker speaking on a stage in front of a big curtain with purple

12:02

Speaker A

uplights, for instance. I don't know." And I would say, "Since we're trying to mimic this, I'm going to do a taller photo rather than a wider one. So, let's just specify that." Actually, I'm I'm going to take a screenshot of this. This

12:17

Speaker A

helps it sometimes. I'm just going to take this to make it tall and in the style of this reference photo. And I'm just going to drop that in, too. Now, it might be a good idea to specify who you

12:27

Speaker A

are. So, I'd say, "Turn me the man into a public speaker." That way, it just doesn't get confused and transpose them. So, let's see what we get here. Okay, let's see what we got. That looks pretty good.

12:39

Speaker A

Now, your mileage may vary. Like, you know your own face very well. So, you'll be able to tell if it looks like you.

12:45

Speaker A

Sometimes when I do this, it takes me, you know, two or three tries to get something usable. So, just don't give up on it if it doesn't look like you at first. How do you get added in these

12:56

Speaker A

kind of like embellishments from the original photo? That's kind of cool. So, so you can either save it. I'm just going to click on copy image, though.

13:03

Speaker A

And then I will go back to our site, and I'm just going to chat with it a little bit more. And I'm going to give it a few things to keep in mind. So, I'm going to say, "Use this image in the top

13:12

Speaker A

section." I'll paste it in. But, now what I need to do is I need to tell it cuz right now it has a background image.

13:17

Speaker A

So, what I want to say is, "Instead of a background image, put all text on the left and the photo of me on the right." Then I'm going to say, just cuz I want it to feel a little bit

13:28

Speaker A

more like our source, I'm going to say, "Change the dark blue on the site to more black like the original inspiration image." Then, just to be safe, I'm going to say, "Change nothing else." We don't want it to like start changing other

13:40

Speaker A

things while it's at it. So, I will click right here, and we'll see what it gets us. Okay, so this is what we got. I think it looks pretty dang good. Um you might have a few quibbles with like this

13:53

Speaker A

touching this, in which case you would just chat with it again and say, "Make sure this button isn't touching the image." Stuff like that. But, overall, it's looking really good. So, from here, you would just look at all the other

14:04

Speaker A

pages and see if everything looks good. Now, I do want to show you another thing. So, you don't always have to use the AI to make changes.

14:15

Speaker A

The first step I would always take is using the edit content button button right up top here. So, you click that.

14:23

Speaker A

Some of the elements are going to be outlined in blue. That means you can just click on it and change it manually.

14:30

Speaker A

That means no AI credits are being used. It's basically free changes, free uh revisions. So, do that when you can. And then anything you can't change that way, you're going to have to talk to the AI. Like up top,

14:43

Speaker A

this headline, you would just say, "On the about page, headline, I want it to say this, not that." And then if we're going down this page, um there is an image, a placeholder image. So, you would just click on that. Then you would

14:55

Speaker A

just click upload new image, and you can make as many as you want with that ChatGPT method if you don't already have good ones of yourself. You know, like I could go to ChatGPT and say, "Make another of me helping a client in a

15:06

Speaker A

casual office setting." And there you go. Maybe you'd rather be in a more professional-looking shirt, in which case you would just say that. I'm just going to save that image, though. We don't have to go through that whole exercise. And then I would click

15:19

Speaker A

upload new image, and I would just use that right there, and save. There we go, just like that. Now, you can also do things like ask for more pages. Let's say there's something up here that you didn't like. Maybe you don't want the

15:31

Speaker A

content hub. You would just say, "Remove the content hub page." Or, "Add a testimonials page." It is literally just chatting with it like you would a real designer. So, that's the coolest part of this, really. You don't have to be a

15:43

Speaker A

designer to make it work for you. So, another cool thing is you probably just want to check out what it looks like on mobile. So, you'd go right up here to this mobile icon, and that's going to show you the preview of what it's going

15:53

Speaker A

to look like on a mobile device. So, what you would do here, if anything felt weird or didn't feel like it worked for you on mobile, you would just again chat with it over here and say, "On mobile

16:04

Speaker A

view on the about page, have less spacing above the words credentials and experience." You know what I mean? Like you could do anything like that in plain language. And then once you've got it the way you get back to desktop view

16:16

Speaker A

here, by the way. Once you get it how you want it, you just click on publish.

16:22

Speaker A

It's going to ask you if you want to tie it to your URL. So, if you bought a domain name, or if you got a domain name for free with a sign-up process, it's going to ask you if you want to tie it

16:30

Speaker A

to it. Just say yes. And now you've got a brand new personal website. And by the way, where you set up your domain name is going to be in your dashboard here in inside of Hostinger. You're just going

16:39

Speaker A

to go over to domains, and then get new domain. If you got a free one, it's going to walk you through the process of selecting it and nailing it down. And if you didn't grab my Hostinger link yet,

16:50

Speaker A

that's how you get the very best deal on getting this thing live. It's in the description below. So, click that link.
