Here is my detailed guide to signing-up to a giveaway event, as a contributor.
DOMAIN NAME
Are you really serious about a career in Internet Marketing? Yes? Then you’re going to need to get yourself a domain name, so that you can have your own web-site. I would suggest that a WordPress blog be the way forward with www(dot)yourname(dot)com as the domain name.
If you have any doubts about getting your own web-site or blog then I’m sorry, but a career in Internet Marketing is probably not for you.
We won’t discuss building your blog or web-site in this article but what I would say is use Namecheap to register the domain URL and Hostgator as its host.
Registering your domain with Namecheap costs as little as $8.81 for the year. This price includes an easy to find discount voucher of 88 cents.
“88 cents? are you sure?”
No it’s not a lot but would soon add up if you were to buy multiple domains.
Enter “Namecheap coupon” followed by the current month and year and Mother Google will find your discount code for you.
If you require help in building a blog then check out the resource box below.
DOMAIN NAME HOSTING
Hostgator are my recommendation – In the relatively short space of time that I have employed them, I can honestly say that their service is second to none. Their “Baby Croc” package allows you to have as many domains as you can shake a stick at for around $90 per year.
Hostgator have a live one to one instant message facility, which I have used on 3 seperate occasions. Each time the representative sorted out my problem with a minimum of fuss. There are other companies out there but I’ll stick with what I know thank you very much.
Look out for discount codes using Mother Google, as they are almost always available. Try “TOPHOST” if you’re reading this before April 2010.
CHANGE DOMAIN NAME SERVERS
“Change what Cliff?”
Namecheap have their own domain name servers (DNS) which need to be changed over to those supplied by Hostgator. Ignore this advice if you intend to use the same company for both registering and hosting your domain.
Hostgator do have a great tutorial video for this. Follow the link at the bottom for more information.
AUTORESPONDER
Ok, you’ve now got your very own space on the internet. Next up is attaining an email marketing autoresponder service to manage your own list of subscribers.
Look no further than AWeber who are the best at what they do. Again, their service isn’t free but it’s hard to imagine being a professional Internet Marketer without an effective autoresponder.
A subscription to Aweber will set you back $1 for the first month, followed by about $16 per month.
PRODUCT FOR GIVEAWAY
You now need to have a product, or products to offer as gifts in the giveaway event(s) so that you can start to build your list.
If you haven’t got your own product, there are plenty of free and low cost eBooks available to use on the internet. Look for products with MRR (Master Resale Rights) or PLR (Private Label Rights).
If you decide to get your own product, then take your time finding it, as there is a lot of rubbish out there.
