Ahh yes… welcome to the internet.

Many say times are hard……we agree for multiple reasons… unemployment is steady in the US, the dollar keeps fluctuating, members in the EU continue to need bailouts, etc…. get the drift? Its times like these that many new business are formed and thrive.

This is your season, plant your feet and strike.

What better time to start a business than now? Think about it, you’ve got an idea, talent, or skill.. harness it and use it… you do have people in your corner rooting for you… for one us : )

In the words of our hard working President: “Barack Obama”…. “Yes we can” thrive. It takes is vision, planning, execution, and being at the right place at the right time. Click here to see what we’re talking about. You’ve  got to follow through, once you start, assess what is happening around you (situational awareness) and keep moving forward!!!

The internet is a reflection of human thought and action, it never stops. You check your email everyday, you visit websites to find out what is happening in the world… this happens on a daily basis.

If you’re a new small business it is time for you to put your business on the world wide web so people can find out what you do and who you are. Some of the items you will need are a domain name, web hosting, and website  to start. You can build the website yourself here, or have someone build it for you (click here). The latter works best we feel because you need to focus on your industry.

Lets fast forward like they do in the movies to the point your website is on the internet and your business is thriving. You may not be there now but we’d like to help you get to that point….have a great monday…. feel free to comment….

Ok so you’re moving into uncharted waters.. into the unknown as you grow your business. Ahh yes fear, anxiety, uncertainty seem to boggle your mind with every thought. what to do? Thats a great question, we deal with  that as well as we direct our business. And like many other successful business you got to move forward in faith. No this is not a sermon but then again it very well could be : ) We wont be long.

So you’re wanting to grow more, more than you di a year ago, how do you do that? Well sit down, and write out what your business has done and where it has gotten you. Now write out what you have not done and where that can possibly take you…. be bold.  Ahh yes hiring new hands to help you expand your efforts to gain more customers or putting capital into advertising on TV… big steps that you may not have taken before.

Fear will tell you “oh you dont want to do that, the economy is down.” but faith will tell you “it’s your time to grow.” We like the second voice. Sometimes you just got to face the music and set out to accomplish your goals. No one is going to do it for you, you are the visionary you have been tasked with commanding and conquering the unknown. The risks are there but the rewards are well worth it.

“I am sure of what I hope for, certain of what I do not see.” rephrased from a cool piece of scripture in the bible Hebrews 11:1. We all go by faith everyday whether we look at it or not. Businesses operate on faith when they open each day, they dont know for sure people will come in and buy but they believe they will and thus faith operates in the business arena.

Its pretty simple and straight forward. See you tomorrow : )

Getting a job in the traditional way of old just doesnt seem to work on a massive scale as it used to. These days you go to a job fair and employers want you to submit your resume via email. Yet, you spent your time, gas, and effort to see about meeting these businesses in person for employment. What gives? Hmmm Here’s a solution for that.

Disclaimer.. not all businesses are like that.

Get your own domain name and put together a  1 or 2 page website with your information on it. Be smart as well, do not put your address or phone number on the website…. let it be known if the employer is interested they can email you and you can send any needed information upon request, granted you check their credentials.

Imagine, you send an email with your resume and link to your website. HR sees the email example: salena@salenamarks.com vs salenamarks@gmail.com That will set you apart from the rest of those gmailers lol.

These days you gotta run your life like a franchise and that includes career hunting. You’re not some ordinary joe looking for the next pay check. You are talented, creative, and full of enthusiasm and you’re looking for a stable career.  These are the tools you will need..

domain name

website tonight

It shows you’re willing to go the extra mile to distinguish yourself from other candidates. Lets see what all you could do with this website. You can put your skills, accomplishments, and a brief bio of who you are. You can also upload a brief professional video of yourself…. say in a suit like you’re being interviewed by Warren Buffet himself via skype…. wow. Awesome visual huh? Till next time, feel free to respond.

Today we’re gonna talk about dedicated servers and who may need and benefit from them. We’ll try to make this as unboring as possible and we’ll apply the K.I.S.S. method…. know what that is? Keep it simple stupid. lol

You may not know this but thousands of websites are on shared hosting plans. There is an immediate pro to this and that is that everyone shares the cost. This allows us to offer very affordable web hosting plans starting at $3.99 a month. All on this plan are allocated certain bandwidth and have a certain amount of storage space. Click here to see more

Dedicated servers on the other hand is like having exclusive web hosting. You get the V.I.P. treatment, your web guy will know what we’re talking about. You share your bandwidth, memory, and storage with no one. Talk about selfish… not! lol Having your own dedicated server is for people who need database management, have high traffic websites, or people who wanna run gaming servers. You lease your own exclusive server that will not be affected by traffic and usage patterns of other (shared hosting) websites.  If you want to stream video, you’ll need such a server, if you have website that receives over 2,000 visits per day or month you need a dedicated server. We have affordable plans starting at $99 a month up to $299.

Each one has different features that will fit many budgets. Did you know having your own dedicated server can help with getting you ranked better on search engines? We didnt know that either till we did some research. With a dedicated server you also get your own exclusive “VIP” IP address. If you need help setting up your server/dedicated hosting feel free to contact our friends at MayIMakeYourWebsite.com they’d be glad to help.

Each dedicated server plan also comes with the bells and whistles i.e. software to run it how you need and it’s user friendly. Need linux, centOS, Fedora, Windows? We got you covered. Whew… that’s a lot of tech talk but I think we gave you a good brief.

P.S. comment and let us know how you’re doing.

Is it expensive? I would say it’s not in comparison to having a website or ecommerce store custom built. I would also venture to say it’s a stepping stone to help you prepare so you can go out and get that custom built website or ecommerce store. When you need that service feel free to call our friends at: MayIMakeYourWebsite.com They’re competitively priced and would love to help you.

Website tonight is a software that makes building a website simple.  It’s user friendly and has a variety of template options to choose from. And if you ever get stuck dont hesitate to call us for help. The cost is like paying for hosting… ranging from 4.99 to 12.99 a month.

The difference basically is how many pages you’re given to create your site. Need 5 pages? We say stick with the $4.99 plan. Need 8 pages? Go with the $8.99 plan.

Guess what…… you can write your cost off when taxes come around…. Wohooooo!!! Thats some good newss. Add up $8.99 for 12 months and thats $107.88

Lets discuss Ecommerce…… this multi-billion dollar industry is something you want to be in if you sell a product or service. You got to take it to the next level and go online. It a ever recurring theme for ecommerce businesses to make money after hours or making money in their sleep. Sounds like a great idea huh? Give it a go.

We offer the shopping cart for those whos budget is below 3k. Prices range per product. Visit here to see. You’re here to run a profitable business and that will take an investment of time and money. If you’re short on either you better build up…..

Prices vary from $9 to $49 a month for our ecommerce “shopping cart’ product. That is for hosting alone. These are the items you will need when starting:

Hosting

Domain Name

SSL Certificate

Merchant Account

Once you’re Shopping Cart is up you will need marketing, this is ever so important. You could spend $50,000 to build a ecommerce store but if you only have a marketing budget of $5,000 you better allocate some of the cost for the ecommerce store to marketing. You have competition out there and it’s gonna take money to squeeze you in there to compete and thrive…. to be continued…
