Very Nice Intro To Making A Living Online

I said in the previous post that I would tell you about Jim Daniels's new cd which is a view-then-do introduction to creating a website that will make money.

The cd arrived from the States a couple of days ago -- I live in Norway and expected it to take a lot longer, so I was really happily surprised.

I had a lot of stuff to do that day, but I just couldn't wait. I ripped open the package and found the cd and some coupon (which I'll tell you about later).

I popped the cd into my laptop. The cd autostarted and I got a menu of 18 videos and related "to-do" tasks. The videos are divided into three sections: 1 Research, 2 Setup, and 3 Marketing.

The research-section was a nice way of getting you to start realizing that there's a lot in your head that other people might be willing to pay for. Yes, he is focusing on information-products, although the tactics on this cd are applicable to any web-based business (or an offline business that wants to have a web presence).

Then he takes you through finding a niche that would be interesting to you, and which has a potential as there are many people searching for related keywords, but not too many pages competing for those terms and words. It then takes you through creating a Unique Selling Position (USP), and selecting a good domain name for your business.

The setup-section tells you how to create a website from scratch, including a WYSIWYG (What You See Is what You Get) - html editor (that means it's easy to create webpages with it). It takes you through setting up a site, and optimizing your pages for the search engines. The last part of section 2 tells you how to start accepting credit cards at your site. Now it's getting exciting!

The 3rd section is on marketing, and it itself is worth the price of this cd. It teaches you how to set up affiliate programs and joint ventures, and is absolutely great! This part is where I learned the most.

All in all, Jim's new ezWebBusinessBuilder view-it-and-do-it cd is a great place to start building your new business. I would recommend it to you if are just starting out with internet marketing, or if you have bought a lot of info-products and sort of "know-it-all", but you're still not doing anything!

The Coupon

Included in the package is a coupon for one free month at ThirdSpherePlus (worth $24.95) -- a web hosting company that have all the tools you need for building an online business.

But seriously, if you are willing to spend that kind of money for the webhosting for your new business (and you should be), then SiteBuildIt (SBI) is an even better option, in my view. With SBI you get so much more... The Action Guide itself is worth its (virtual) weight in (real) gold.

Now SBI is $299/year and ThirdSpherePlus is $24.94/month, which works out to $299,40/year. With the coupon you get 1 free month, true, but is it worth it?

Thus, I recommend Jim's new ezWebBusinessBuilder view-it-and-do-it cd for beginners or people who just want do DO IT NOW and QUICKLY, but SiteBuildIt if you're really serious about making a living online and can live with the way of the turtoise.

I know choosing is hard, and getting started is even harder, but if there is one thing money likes, it is action. So take action. Do something! Now!

Love,
Sten
