Rosalind Gardner's 'Don't Buy Ros a Coffee' Contest

On January 9th, Rosalind Gardner finally picked out a winning card from her stash of cards.

For those of you that aren't familiar with the contest, the prizes were Rosalind's Super Affiliate Handbook and the late Corey Rudl's highly acclaimed Internet Marketing Course. In order to enter the contest, anybody could send Rosalind a Christmas card or birthday card.

I ended up sending a card early in December and on January 9th, I recieved a NetProfitsToday link via RSS.

I was pretty excited to find out that I was the winner of the two internet marketing courses.

That was on January 9th. Today, it's January the 24th. What took me so long to post this message?

I've been so busy building websites. Since the beginning of the year, I've created 3 new websites with a total of over 70 pages of content so far. It's been hectic trying to do this, take care of my family with a wife and 2 kids, brush up my knowledge with some great ebooks, and handle my regular job.

Within the last week, I just received both courses from the contest. I've spent many hours reading those as well and implementing some new techniques. I have to say that these courses aren't what I thought they would be.

I've read close to half of Rosalind's book and a third of Corey's course. There's so much information, it's pretty overwhelming. I've read over 50 marketing books and there's tons of great information that the other books didn't cover. I'll keep you guys posted on what I've been doing and what I've learned.

Starting An Internet Business-Part 3-Get A Cheap Web Hosting Package

If you've chosen your domain name, you'll also need a place to store your information. This server space is what a web host is. What you'll want to do is find a cheap web hosting package . When I say "cheap," I don't mean low quality. There are so many places to get web hosting, that searching for an affordable one could be tough. Most of the big named companies offer tons of web hosting packages, but unfortunately are pretty expensive. I'm pretty surprised that Yahoo is still offering their starter package close to $12/mo, with a $25 startup fee. I guess it's the name that sells. Over the last decade, I've tried out several hosting companies. For over the past 2 years, I've chosen a service where I have 10 websites set up on. If you want to set up one website, you pay $1/mo. If you want to have 10 websites, it's $2.95/mo. They have a startup fee, but it's pretty small compared to the monthly savings. Before selecting the package...

My Blog Conversion - Hopping On The Bandwagon

"Curiousity Just Killed The Cat" After prowling online for ways to add features to my blogs, I ran into tons of Wordpress plugins. For those of you new to my site, I've been a user of Pivot for some time now. Pivot has been great. I don't have any complaints about it. In fact, I find it much easier to use than Wordpress . It has tons of features that you can use to build successful content sites or blogs...without the need for MySQL or other scalable database. So what happened? Looking through Google, there was tons of blog plugins-for Wordpress. While there's tons of useful plugins for Pivot, being so curious, I felt the need to try out Wordpress :) It took a good full day to understand Wordpress and how to customize it. A week later, I still feel as if it's lacking compared to Pivot. In Pivot, I really liked the ability to easily create multiple blogs for the same domain. In Wordpress, I don't think there's a feature...unless you hack aroun...
