There
are three main gears that will initiate the whole process. In
fact they are the most vital steps for starting any online business…
- Catchy
Domain Name
- AutoResponder
System
- Reliable
Hosting Service
1
- Choosing the right domain name:
Well, I am
sure all of you already know how to get a cheap domain name. You
can get one for less than $9 at Godaddy.com
What really
matters is getting a catchy domain name that will stick in people’s
mind. Avoid long and hyphened domains you need a domain that will
be easily recognized.
Don’t
get domains like:
The-best-ezine.com
or Make-Money-Now.com
NO!
you should register a domain name that will reflect your unique
identity, a domain name that will persuade your customers to believe
in what you are offering. Let it be simple and catchy like:
BizBuzz.com
– BizReporter.com - Prozine.com
See what I
mean?
I also get
this question almost every day...
Is
it ok to get .info, .biz, etc… domain names?
It’s
ok even search engines treat all of them the same way. BUT! There
is something magical about .com domains, they always give
a better creditability hence better response. So I highly recommend
.com domains.

- Get your *own* AutoResponder system
After trying
almost all kinds of AutoResponders for the last few years, I will
just lead you to the right path…
10 Vital features
you should make sure they exist before getting any AutoResponder:
- Quickly
build a fully automated, powerful follow-up system
- No monthly
fees.
- Create
any number of follow-up
- Personalize
each message to your subscribers
- Let your
subscriber choose plain text, HTML or multi-part
- Track the
source of your subscribers
- Link tracking
- Create
time-sensitive messages
- Add any
number of file attachments
- Complete
control over message scheduling
With all my
respect to all follow-up solutions online, I just don’t
like them! You could get one at Aweber.com
or GetResponse.com
But I don't recommend them.
Why?
Why should
you pay an average of $17/month (over $200/year) When you can
pay less than $100/year and get a far better service, dozens of
extra features and more professional image?!
I am using
AutoResponsePlus
not just me, almost all professionals out there use this specific
software. It is a powerful follow-up and mailing list software
for your web site. It gives you the ability to run an unlimited
number of follow-up campaigns to thousands of prospects, right
from your *own* web site.
Did I mention that it’s super easy to install?
You will simply
be able to host your AutoResponder on your own website which is
much more professional looking.
I don’t
think that any one can ever come up with a better choice than
AutoResponsePlus!

- Chose the right hosting company
Now we are
talking about hosting your website, email accounts, and even
your Opt-In list!
It was a nightmare
to search and choose the right hosting company!
I faced all
kind of troubles you can imagine:
- Data lost!
actually the whole hosting company just vaporized
- Server
is down for hours or even days
- Limited
traffic "Band Width" and Limited out-going emails
- Terrible
customer support
- Much much
more... I need other e-book to talk about the troubles that
I’ve faced with hosting companies.
So when you
make your choice it has to be perfect! Stay away from
$5 hosting services and don’t sacrifice your image…
