So this means I am starting fresh on this blog !!

Now the first thing you want to do online is to establish a name for yourself and theres no better way to do it than creating a blog.

This blog was set up with the hosting company which I use, D9 hosting. I found they offered excellent value as you can host as many websites as you wish, also they have a ton of video tutorials to walk you through the whole process of setting up your website and there support is outstanding. 

Here are a few hosting companies you may wish to consider;

D9Hosting 
(from $7.95 per month)

Host Gator
(from $4.95 per month)

1and1
(from $3.99 per month + 3 months free)  

If possible you want to get pay for your own hosting for your blog. The reason for this is because you own your blog and it can never be shut down as long as you are doing nothing illegal. 

Imagine using a free blog such as blogger and you had built your online business on this over many years and one day you try to log in and your blogs gone because they shut you down, well this does happen so if you have the cash and remember our number one aim is to build an online business so expect to invest a little money in initial set up. Using your own hosting also lets your name or company name only to be used in your domain name meaning you are only advertising yourself.

If you used blogger and you wanted the name of your blog to be your own name then lets say your name was John Smith then your domain name would have to be something like http://www.johnsmith.blogspot.com opposed to the self hosting option where it would be http://www.johnsmith.com

If you ask me the self hosting option is alot better looking as your not associated with another companies name. Think about it… Do you think big companies such as Mcdonalds, or IBM would take the 1st option, they wouldn’t !!

As you can see I have used my name graeme ashe as my domain name.

So the next thing to do is purchase your domain name I purchased mine from 1and1 , but if you have signed up for hosting you usually get the first one free. If not here are some recommended ones;

Then all you want to do is point the domain name to your hosting servers. Its a real easy process your hosting provider should be able to help you do this, if not give me a shout I’ll be happy to help !!

Until next time…….

If you haven’t read the about me page then please do as this will explain my previous experiences with internet marketing, but in a nutshell so far I have barley made anything online.

But today this is all gonnae change because I have basically learned from my past inexperience that if you want to be successful in this game you have to work hard at it and damn hard, so no more get rich quick schemes for me.

This is where the hard work will begin, because I am more determined than ever to unlock this internet marketing success dream which I have been chasing for a while now.

I feel as if this time its got to work

I have invested more money brought onboard new expertise, by signing up to with Alex Jeffrey’s coaching.

So please join me on my journey as I am going to document my triumphs and defeats on this blog and hopefully you can learn with me. I want you to follow your dream too its not just about me !!!

At the time of writing this I am starting off with 0 subscribers on my mailing list and $0.

So my first goal is to get 1 subscriber and my first $1 

I would love to hear from you so feel free to leave a comment.

Let the journey begin!!!
