Use this post to help you identify the Website Host that makes the most sense for your business.

I actually utilize two services, not because one doesn’t meet my needs but because I want to diversify.  I have so many sites running that generate revenue that I want to make sure my risk is spread out among the two following website host services:

Both of these have served my businesses well.  I have found that the uptime is 99% or better, they are easy to use as opposed to what the video talks about and they have one-click installs for WordPress, which is the system I use to set-up all of my money sites.

I recommend that after you get your domain name, website hosting and your autoresponder that you head on over to my free video tutorial on how to set up a Attraction Marketing Sales Funnel – there everything will come together.

Watch this video regarding the Host Gator Service….

Here’s the second service I recommend – Blue Host …

Let me reiterate that both of these hosting services are really good.

They’re the two that I use and I highly recommend them.

If you purchase using the links above, I will be compensated as an affiliate.  But that is good news because I can offer additional support.  I have a complete set of cPanel tutorial videos and I will give you free access to WordPress Blog How To, which is a complete tutorial site that provide over 100 videos on how to set-up, get traffic and monetize your WordPress site.

Knowing which cheap website host to trust when starting your business online is tough.

  • How reliable are they?
  • How easy will they be to work with?
  • Do they have the tools that I need to maximize my exposure?

These are just a few of the questions you ask, or should be asking.

I have over 30 sites online and because I'm from the school that believes you shouldn't put all of your revenue streams on the same hosting service, I spread out my sites.  With all of that being said, I can safely say that most of my sites are on a great cheap website host called….?  :-)

Getting the right hosting is important, as such you should choose carefully.

So if your a blogger, or you create niche blogs site then you need to take a look at this great hosting service.  I talk about it on one of my niche sites called Cheap Website Host

Perhaps the greatest teacher of positive thinking is a child. Children are the ultimate positive thinkers. They have not learned that life throws curves and that challenges are around every corner. They look at life as a big adventure. Maybe you should adopt that way of thinking.

Think about a child in your life. They seem to have no fear of new things. They will try anything once. They love life and are optimistic and happy. Children love to explore the world and what life has to offer. They are willing to put themselves out there just to learn.

Children have to have this amazement for life. This is how they learn and how they develop their identity. It allows them to live in a positive manner.

Children do not jump to the negative because they believe there is good out there. They do not know about all the bad that the world holds because you shelter them from that.

Let yourself develop that child-like faith. Stop yourself from dwelling on the bad in life and start looking for the positive instead.

Think about that saying ‘stop and smell the roses’. A child would do that, but would you? Chances are it is not likely you would. So, change that about yourself.

Slow down and take time to enjoy life. Stop filling everyday with to do’s. Enjoy life and you will soon find it is easy to embrace the positive.

Here are some things that children do that you can bring into your life. These things will help you to be able to look at the positive instead of the negative.

  1. Explore new things. Instead of walking away from the unknown, walk towards it. Children are always exploring. This is how they learn. Let yourself start exploring again.
  2. Do not walk away from a challenge. When children are challenged, they get excited and look at it as a game. Let yourself accept challenges instead of walking away.
  3. Make a mess. Children are messy. They love to make messes, but most of the time it is not just to make you mad. Children make messes because they are learning and they simply do not care if they get a little messy in the process. Happiness can be messy and unrestricted.
  4. Ignore the rules. Children ignore the rules all the time. Often it gets them into trouble, but many times, they end up having a fun time simply because they are doing something they were specifically told not to do. Defying authority can be an adrenaline rush. Break a few rules now and then and let yourself feel like a kid again.
  5. Pretend. Make believe is a big part of being a child. Almost everything you do revolve around pretending. The imagination is a wonderful thing. Allow yourself to go to some make believe place. Get away for your normal life and pretend you are someone else. Have fun and you are sure to smile.

There are plenty more ways you can use the influence of a child to drive your progress towards a positive attitude. You should watch children play. Just see what they do and take notes on how different their lives are from yours. How do they get through the day without stressing about every little thing?

Do not let yourself get hung up on the fact that they do not have responsibility. Responsibility should in no way hold you back from being positive. It is just an excuse and excuses kill the positive attitude you are working so hard to build.

Just focus on being child-like. Let yourself be free and just love life.

Nothing is more satisfying than building a [tag]website[/tag] that is considered an Authority Site.

No matter what your area of expertise is, if you provide high quality content, others will respect the effort, the information and reward you by visiting often.

When you add different types of monetizing efforts with an authority site, you can create a nice income stream. Making a living utilizing your creativity is always rewarding. Especially if the alternative is working for somebody else.

Here are a few Authority Site works-in-progress examples that I am building:

- CallCenterCafe.com

- RightToLead.com

- DebtRepairOnline.com

- BlueSkyBrothers.com

I have approximately 30 more sites that I am also working on, and during this process I learned that it’s important to get the right hosting company, the right design and the right integration of web 2.0 services.

Making the wrong choice can cost you in both time and money. However, making the right choice can make the authority site and profits happen sooner than later.

For instance, I firmly believe that setting up an authority site with all the functionality of a blog just makes sense. Doing it this way allows you to take full advantage of web 2.0 systems to drive targeted traffic.

That brings me to the point of this post. If your interested in setting up an [tag]authority site[/tag] you need to read this manual that has all of the top [tag]web 2.0[/tag] tools listed in one spot.

The value of this report is $197 but you can download it for free by going to my business site called www.blueskybrothers.com. The download link is on this post….Instant Traffic with Web 2.0

Make sure you download this report and use it for a reference.

To your success!

I’ve tinkered with several niche websites in the past.  A couple of examples are below:

But recently I stumbled on a results driven solution for website design and publishing.  My friends have noticed. 

Whenever, I experiment with something new I let my friends and family check it out first and provide feedback.  Well, the feedback that I have received thus far is overwhelming in support of my new system.

I love it because it is easy to add content and when I do it pings the search engines.  But more important are the traffic results.  This site, www.gregmeares.com has not been up that long.  I am already getting a lot of traffic and I have over 121 blogs/websites that link to it.

So with that being said, if your interested in checking out this system, I put up a new page outlining my steps.

If you go to Website Development you can learn more about how I do it.

Greg Meares

Can you say too much work and not enough time? 

Right now I am getting hammered with this high class problem.  And trust me it is "High Class."  The alternative is having too much time on my hands.

My day-time focus is working on my call center responsibilities, but when I have the time I build websites.  The overall number of projects I have are somewhat overwhelming.

I found some really awesome tools that help and do a great job when building a quality website.

Here is the list…

Have you heard of web 2.0?  Well the power of using tools that fall into the web 2.0 category really help with traffic generation.

That’s why I’ve moved to only building sites with [tag]Wordpress[/tag].  I my tool of choice is the SemioLogic Pro Package.  The level of ease combined with the professional look is awesome.

I have so many websites up in several niche markets that I have a lot of experience with Hosting companies and my favorite is Blue Host.  Their price is right but the tools available and the ease of use make them the top choice.

Here are a few example of the recent websites I have built with the SemioLogic Pro Package and Blue Host, (BTW – this site is hosted with Blue Host and this is just one of the templates from the SemioLogic Pro Package.

Check out the sites.  The big advantage of using this system is the amount of traffic you can generate with the fantastic [tag]plugins[/tag].

Have a great day!
