Alligator
Attack Saves Entrepreneur In
Online Rescue
Hi Friend,
‘Thanks, Ed - I just paid one
hundred and ninety seven dollars
for nearly the same
information!’
This comment I received last
week after sending out my
Super-Power Profits Blueprint
newsletter. It is typical of the
complimentary feedback I receive
from my subscribers each week.
Two points here. Firstly, it
warns you how easily it is to be
wripped off in the internet
marketing world. Secondly, it
emphasises the information I
give you just for being a loyal
subscriber is highly valuable,
so please do use it to the best
of your abilities. Don’t get
had! (Thanks Howard Coffey for
your kind words and I hope you
were able to get your money
back).
In today’s newsletter I’m going
to reveal a sneaky short cut to
sky rocket your online income no
matter what niche you are in or
are about to enter.
But first let me give you some
essential information you need
to know when setting up any
internet business. Do it this
way and your growth potential
will be fast and smooth. Don’t
take my advice and you’ll hit
the wall just before your income
is about to go sky high.
Getting The Most From Your Host
I agree it can seem a little
tricky when setting up your
first web site. You must choose
a domain name (name for your web
site), register it at a
registrar’s site (so that you
own the domain) and then set up
a hosting account (this is
basically where you rent a place
in ‘cyberspace’ where you upload
all your internet pages for the
whole world to see).
Now, because there are so many
different places to register
your domain and host your
account, choosing the right one
can seem like trying to find a
potato in a field of turnips.
And if you choose the wrong one
to start with you may well run
into trouble later on. This
could prevent the growth of your
business from taking off, and,
just because of a poorly thought
out web site set up, it could
mean your profits hit a
premature ceiling. That’s
definitely not what you want!
Let me explain…
Recently I wanted to expand one
of my web sites by adding a blog
and a membership area.
Why Add A Blog And Member Area To Your Site?
Because blogs are a brilliant
way of organically increasing
traffic to your web site. Google
recognises blogs as quality
content which often gets
regularly updated. Therefore,
they reward blogs by promoting
them quickly up the search
engine rankings. In terms of SEO
(search engine optimisation) by
adding a blog to your site you
can be at the top of Google very
quickly.
Adding a membership site will
mean that you’ll get a recurring
passive monthly income as each
of your subscribers pays their
subscription every month. This
is the ultimate automatic income
formula and a goal that you
should be aiming for. This way
you’ll have the money you
deserve and the time with which
to spend it.
Anyway, I contacted my host (who
will remain nameless although I
would love to crucify them
publicly just so that nobody
else has to suffer their
incompetence!) to ask if they
could facilitate my upgrades. To
cut a long story short, they
couldn’t. The reason they
couldn’t was because they did
not have a ‘cpanel’. What’s a
cpanel I hear you cry? Basically
it’s a control panel that helps
you configure any of the
components, files, etc in your
hosting account for your web
site.
Without a cpanel you’re screwed.
My host providers gave me a
whole load of other techie
instructions, the majority of
which, unless I’d been a rocket
scientist, I didn’t understand.
Now I know a bit about
computers, even a few nerdie
bits (he reluctantly admits!)
just because I’ve been doing
this for so long. However, even
after following all their
painstakingly slow instructions
I made absolutely no progress
whatsoever! In fact, it turned
out, I actually new more than
the numpties on the other end of
the line, who were simply
reading gooble-dee-gook from a
script.
Basically, without the cpanel I
would need to be a computer
programmer with treble glazed
lenses to make the changes I
wanted. That not being the case,
I decided to look for hosting
elsewhere.
So, if you only remember one
lesson from this newsletter,
when it comes to hosting, please
make sure you get an account
that has a cpanel – it costs no
extra money and it’ll save you
going bald from pulling all your
hair out in the long run!
The other thing you should do if
you’re setting up a web site
from scratch is register your
domain name at the same company
who is going to be looking after
your hosting (the one with a
cpanel just to reiterate). This
makes everything sooooo much
easier. If it does so happen
that you’ve already registered
your domain elsewhere, don’t
panic. You have two options…
Option one, if you have plenty
of time before your site goes
live you can transfer your
domain registration to your
hosting company. This usually
takes two to three weeks so give
yourself plenty of time.
Option two, if you need to get
up and running quickly, sort out
your hosting and once everything
is uploaded contact your
registrar and tell them the name
of your ‘nameservers’ at your
hosting account. You will
usually be provided with two
named ‘nameservers’ in your
welcome email when you set up
your hosting. If not, contact
your host by phone or email and
they will be able to tell you
what they are. Then you’re away!
There is of course another
option if your web site is
already up and running with a
host that has no cpanel and you
don’t want any interruption to
your web site. This crap third
option is to go through the
hassle I went through. Putting
it as simply as I can this
means:
Phew! We got there in the end. I
know this sounds all a bit geeky
but it is important. It’s also
my job to help you get your
online business up and running
as quickly and as smoothly as
possible. And loaded with this
information you can incorporate
with your online business set up
that I have given you in my
Super-Power Profits Blueprint
over the last few weeks. [For

And just so that you don’t have to go hunting around
in the dark I’m going to stick
my neck out and tell you that I
would one hundred and fifty
percent recommend
Yes the name ‘hostgator’ is a play on the word ‘alligator’ but unlike my last host these guys do not bite! They saved me and they’re who I now use. www.hostgator.com
have
an easy to understand cpanel so
normal people like you and I can
use it. I’ve had no problem
adding member site software,
such as dlguard.com. Plus the
cpanel has enabled me to add a
blog to my web site which has
greatly increased my traffic. If
I can do it anybody can and now
I can take my web site to a
whole new level of profit.
are
good value. With their ‘baby’
package for less than ten
dollars a month you can host an
unlimited number of domains.
Their twenty-four seven customer
support is excellent, be it by
email, online or telephone.
There are, of course, other
companies you could use but
these, in my opinion, are one of
the best. And you know by now I
rarely recommend anything unless
I think it’s particularly
superb.
Stealth Joint Ventures
I started by saying I’d reveal a
sneaky trick to explode your
online income. Well you’ve been
patient so here it is and it has
to do with finding JV partners
that you can one hundred percent
guarantee are interested in JV
proposals.
This technique that I stumbled
upon whilst doing some web site
research involves searching for
potential JV partners on
competitors web sites.
Essentially you look for web
sites in your niche market,
visit their site, look for
testimonials from other
marketers on their web site and
click on the link to the site
that provided the testimonial.
You know their site will be in a
related niche otherwise their
testimonial would not be
displayed. And you know they are
likely to be receptive to a JV
approach email because the very
fact they are advertising their
link on someone else’s web site
mean they are already joint
venture partnering.
This technique is very powerful,
so much so that I was going to
keep it under wraps. But I
decided just to let my
subscribers know to reward your
loyalty to me. Next week I am
going to reveal full details
together with a training video
so you can learn exactly what
you have to do. Whether you are
a JV broker for Virtual Property
Tycoon, your own site or for any
other site you can earn big
money with this.
The stealth JV strategy works
extremely well and remember, as
I pay one hundred dollars for
each JV deal you set up, you can
make a lot of money using it.
Many of my JV brokers are
already earning good money
setting up deals for VPT and I
know you’re going to want in on
the action asap.
Tune in next week,
Ed Walters
