After a few frustrating days of trial and error with coding for some of the links on the StarrBizz.com web biz marketing site, this Internet business is back on track!

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Recently, I went through the process of transferring my web biz hosting needs to a new provider, HostGator. HostGator has a range of services that can truly help an entrepreneur expand their marketing reach and the level of their professionalism substantially.

During the process of the transfer, as can be expected, some minor glitches occurred. As noted in my previous web biz blog post, between HostGator tech support and a couple of my Internet Marketing mentors, we identified the problems and found solutions.

The biggest headache had to do with link re-directs I have created over the past few years using third-party software. There was something wrong in the coding that worked fine at the old web host, but would not work here at the new host.

HostGator identified the offending code immediately, and although my marketing mentors tried to guide me through the steps to correct the problem, it did take me some study and trial and error to work through the solution due to my inexperience with the new hosting platform.

However, once I caught on to the process, fixing the problem at hand was basically quick and simple. You may still find the odd link that still doesn't open properly, but for the most part, I have fixed all of the current links and the most relevant ones. I will get to them all, eventually.

This has been a great relief! You know how stressful it can be when you have a problem but you can't envision the solution. You start to imagine that it will never be resolved. I think that is where vision, goals and commitment to success come in. You must be determined to push through the frustration until you find the solution - whatever it takes.

Now that I've got this Internet home business back on track, it's on to some new projects! Details to follow, soon.

We have successfully transferred our web hosting to HostGator and we are now just working out a few of the bugs.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

I am not typically one to do things "the easy way," although I do start out looking for the easy way to do things. But I always encounter alternatives, and alternatives quite often lead a person on to unexpected tangents.

Such was the case when I recently decided to move my web hosting to a new service that provides a range of additional features and a great deal more potential for the future of my online business. Instead of going with a simple, straight across web hosting package, I chose a more advanced package that gives me greater administrative control plus a more dependable, and faster, server - a virtual private server (VPS), in fact.

Click my HostGator link for more information about the benefits of a VPS.

Today, I am testing some of the new settings for this Web Bizz Blog. If you are reading this, it worked!

I've also noticed a problem with some of the links for products and services I promote. At the moment, any link that has "starrbizz.com/recommends/(anything)" in it is not working. It has something to do with the third party software I had been using to create those links. As soon as I can find the solution, I'll get all those links back up and running.

For now, most everything else seems to work fine, with many thanks and much credit to my tech mentor, Jeffery, and one of my key marketing mentors, Suzanne, both from the mentorship team at the Affiliate Power Group. Acknowledgement must also go to tech support at HostGator who readily offered insight and assistance along the way.

Once I work these things through, I will have some new ideas and web biz opportunities to introduce.

That's my web biz hosting transfer update for today. If you are reading this ... keep watching this space in the days to come!

I am planning some changes for the StarrBizz.com site and sometime over the next few days, the site might be down or acting strange. If you have trouble with it, that's the reason why.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

People are funny. We like familiar patterns and we resist change, but in reality, whether we admit it or not, we thrive on change. We tend to become bored and listless when things stay the same for too long. Change gets our attention. It excites us!

It's a new year and I am planning some changes for my StarrBizz.com site. Some of the changes will require that I "do things differently" and possibly learn some new skills. The process is sure to test the limits of my patience.

However, it's all for the good as change is a valuable part of our existence. In fact, I believe it was the French author, Francois de la Rochefoucauld who coined the phrase, "The only thing constant in life is change."

That being the case, we would do well to simply resign ourselves to the inevitable. If we learn to embrace change, we will certainly be happier and come out stronger.

Ask me how I feel about that in a couple of days! lol

Anyway, here we go. I'll post this notice then I'll start the process that may or may not interrupt the StarrBizz website for a short period of time. As mentioned, it could happen sometime over the next few days. Once we're over the hump, I'll be back here to post an update!

There is money to be made online. Are you truly interested in getting your share? Here is exactly where to begin! Affiliate Marketing: How to get started.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Early this century, before I became actively involved online, I would hear people saying how you can make money online with something called "Affiliate Marketing." I didn't know anything about it, other than companies would allow you to place their banners on your website and when your visitors clicked the banner and purchased something, you would earn a commission.

A few years later, I upgraded my computer hardware and my knowledge of Internet Marketing and became active as an Affiliate Marketer. And then I discovered one of the unfortunate realities of marketing on the Internet: online success takes time and effort just like any other business or entrepreneurial endeavour! There is no quick or easy way.

Fortunately, I had learned one extremely valuable "life lesson" quite a number of years ago. It was this: you can accelerate the speed of your success in anything you do simply by learning from, and following the advice and recommendations of, successful people who have travelled the path before you.

I found a group of experienced mentors who became my Affiliate Marketing guides. As part of the process, I discovered that I had also become a member of a group of marketing students pursuing the same online dreams and goals as I was. Joining a support group of peers like this is probably one of the best things you can do, especially when you are relatively new to marketing, or if you have not yet found your stride in the business.

This mentorship group has continued to evolve over the past few years and recently, it has taken on a new name:
the Affiliate Power Group

The Affiliate Power Group (AFP) is a membership site that focuses on Affiliate Marketing training and support. The mentors maintain a daily presence in the APG forum where members can ask questions, share ideas and generally interact with other members.

The AFP site is loaded with training guides and resources, all designed to coach members to greater online marketing success.

One particular area of focus is Niche Marketing. Everything that an aspiring marketer could want or need to build a successful niche-focused business is available to members at the APG site.

Here are just a few of the benefits you get when you become an APG member:

- Daily access to five experienced Internet Marketing coaches

- Step-by-step action plan

- Free WordPress installation

- Access to the Internet Marketing Learning Center

- Access and resale rights to niche eBooks, reports and articles

- Unlimited access to the Members Forum

Affiliate Marketing has changed over the years. The market has become incredibly more competitive and these days, to succeed in a big way, you need to have the competitive advantage. That is the whole purpose and focus of the APG.

There are many sources for information, guidance and support on the Internet. One of the great things about the APG is that everything - and I mean EVERYthing - is all together in one place; easy to find, easy to navigate, easy to use, and when you do have questions, mentors and members are always available to offer advice and assistance.

I've been benefiting from the guidance of the APG mentors for quite some time now. I am sold on the value they provide. What I recommend for you is to visit the Affiliate Power Group information page today and get more details on Affiliate Marketing, how to get started.

Here is a source of private label content that you can use for a variety of web biz purposes: publish it as is, re-write it, use it as research material for your own articles, or simply read it for personal enlightenment.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

The site I am referring to offers thousands of top quality articles and other information products. Oh, and one more thing - if you can write just one original article per month, you can also access this great content site at no cost to you!

I have been a member of this private label content site for more than two years and I turn to it regularly for information and inspiration. The site is InfoGoRound.com.

Once you are a member, InfoGoRound (IGR) also provides online software to help you create instant newsletters, training courses and niche marketing sites.

Topic categories at the IGR site include:

- Business
- Computers and Internet
- Employment and Wealth
- Entertainment and Recreation
- Health and Fitness
- Home and Family
- Society
- Articles Wanted

The IGR "Cash for Content" program rewards you for submitting one original article each month in any category you choose. After your article is accepted, subject to the IGR article writing requirements, your account will be credited with a rebate equivalent to one month's membership fee.

You don't have to write an article to be a member; it's just a way for you to get your monthly membership to the site free.

Yesterday, I wrote and submitted an article titled, "Outsourcing Can Be Your Ticket To Success" where I highlighted some of the reasons marketers outsource some of their tasks, as well as some of the benefits of doing so. The biggest benefit of outsourcing, as I see it, is the time it frees up for you to focus on more important marketing duties.

If you seek business and marketing articles for information or inspiration, IGR currently provides 612 articles in the Business category, covering such topics as Entrepreneurial, Home Business, Marketing and Advertising Offline, Product and Business Development, Manufacturing, Management, Publishing and more.

Whatever purpose you may have for private label content, I invite you to click my link, visit the InfoGoRound information page and see what the service has to offer. Doesn't cost anything to take a look!

Everybody has their favourite ways to build their email lists and keep their subscribers interested. Here are a few more autoresponder tips for email marketing.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

In the previous Web Bizz Blog post, I listed five interesting ways to use your web biz autoresponder. Today, I'll just get right to it and give you a few more handy autoresponder tips.

1) Publish testimonials and endorsements that you receive from satisfied customers. Many prospects respond well to positive comments from other happy customers. One recommendation: make sure the testimonials and endorsements are true and verifiable. It's YOUR reputation on the line.

2) Publish a thorough list of Frequently Asked Questions. Keep a record of all questions you have received from prospects and customers and all answers you have provided. Add to this list any additional questions and answers regarding your services that prospects or subscribers may potentially be interested in.

3) Publish a complete price list of all the products and services that you offer. You could also include order forms, product descriptions and other sales material.

4) Publish any terms and conditions related to your services or business transactions. You could include return and refund policies and after sales service information.

5) Publish information and articles from the inner pages of your website in autoresponder format. Visitors may not read every page on your site. Also, in autoresponder format, they can easily print out desired pages for reading when offline.

Obviously, not every idea presented here will be suitable for or appeal to every web biz marketer. I present these tips for your consideration and enlightenment only. You must choose what is workable for you and your Internet home business.

I just think it is helpful to read about more autoresponder tips for email marketing so that you can find the ideas and inspiration necessary to advance your marketing business.

The secret to success in online marketing is not rocket science: create an appealing website around a service or product in demand and drive targeted prospects to it. In the process, do not overlook your local market. Here is how to promote your web biz offline, Part Two.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

In yesterday's web biz blog post I highlighted several good offline promotion methods. You can read that post for the details, but here is a recap of the methods listed:

- T-shirts
- Ball Caps
- Jackets
- Magnetic Signs
- Bumper Stickers

Today, let's focus on a few traditional marketing methods.

1. Business Cards: The popularity of business cards remains because they are small, easy to carry around, easy to hand out and they don't cost much to produce. Print them with your website address and other business information. Some marketers print an advertisement on the reverse side.

2. Flyers: Again, flyers are inexpensive and easy for you to take with you to hand out or post on bulletin boards and wherever else you are authorized to place them. Include your website address, business info and other brief, appealing information about your product or website.

3. Pens: Have some pens imprinted with your website address and other business information, then give them to people or leave them behind in the post office, banks, stores and other places where people might use them to sign receipts or other papers.

4. Mugs: Mugs imprinted with your website address and business information can be used when you have company over, or you can give them away as gifts to family, friends and even to local business groups that meet regularly.

5. Duffle Bags: Imprint your website address and business info on a duffle bag?? Why not? I have a similar bag I received from a local company and every time I use it, not only do I think favourably of the company, but other people also take notice of the company's information. Give your imprinted duffle bags to family and friends to create more exposure for your web biz.

Business promotion takes on many forms and the wise marketer will look at all methods and all opportunities to drive traffic to their website. Hopefully, today's post, Promote Your Web Biz Offline, Part Two, will inspire you to take some action in your local market.

A lot of Internet entrepreneurs focus only on marketing their home based businesses online. Why not expand your potential prospect base to your local market? Here's a few ideas on how to promote your web biz offline.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

There's nothing new about these ideas, but as simple and basic as they are, it's surprising that more home based Internet business marketers don't take advantage of them.

Consider these ways to promote your web biz while doing non-business tasks offline:

1. T-shirts: It doesn't cost a lot to get small batches of t-shirts imprinted these days. Have some t-shirts printed up with your website and other business information. Give the shirts out to family, friends and others in your community.

2. Ball Caps: Same thing goes for ball caps. Get a bunch made up with your web address and other info and hand them out. People will be happy to wear the caps because they are both fun and functional.

3. Jackets: Since we're talking about apparel, why not get some jackets printed for family members and close friends? When it gets too cold for t-shirts, you can wear jackets!

4. Magnetic Signs: How about magnetic signs with your website and business info? Place them on your vehicle door or roof when travelling. The added bonus is their portability; easily switch to whatever vehicle you happen to be using ... even a relative's!

5. Bumper Stickers: Bumper stickers are still popular and they do get noticed. Print some with your website and other business information and away you go.

There you are. If you have ever wondered how to promote your web biz offline, now you've got some great ideas to get you started!

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

When you are a web hosting reseller, you can sell hosting services to any number of customers and you get to set your own hosting prices. You can create unlimited websites under your own packages and brand.

Choose the right provider, and not only will you get to keep 100% of the money you collect from your customers, but you will also be able to offer them a range of support services, including sub domains, POP3 accounts, MySQL databases and FTP accounts.

Again, with the right provider, hosting packages you offer to your customers can include features such as a site builder, templates, 24/7 tech support, web mail, email aliases, auto responders and more.

You might have already guessed that I have a provider to recommend. And you may be wondering what it would cost you to become an authorized web hosting reseller. Well, be prepared to be amazed.

You can have your reseller Web Hosting business up and running in minutes and the cost is as little as just $24.95 per month.

The provider I have in mind has five reseller hosting packages available ranging from $24.95 to $99.95, depending on how much disk space and bandwidth you expect to need for your customers.

The company is HostGator, a well known and popular web hosting company.

=> For more information about HostGator, read my web biz review, Web Hosting Review, HostGator.

Every year, people spend millions of dollars on self-improvement books, CDs, DVDs, conferences and more, and what are they seeking? The exact same things as you and I: greater prosperity, better relationships, personal achievement and satisfaction. Do you see the incredible marketing potential here? It is Personal Development: A Product in Demand.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

It is no secret that one of the keystones to web biz marketing success is to promote a proven product in demand. And what can be in greater demand, what product is more fundamental to the needs of all people everywhere than personal development?

Think about it: there isn't a single person in any business, profession, job, career or field of personal endeavour, public or private, who would not benefit from some form of personal development education or instruction. Somewhere within each of us, we know that to be true.

We know that the potential lies within us to become better tomorrow than we are today. We know that with the right training or book or CD or DVD program, we can draw that potential out, we can bring to the surface the best of what already exists within us.

However, simply being aware of the potential for greater personal development is not enough. We need to act on the desire for it. That is where many of us run into a roadblock. Either we don't know how to indentify suitable personal development products, or we can't make a choice from the huge selection of worthy products available.

This is where Personal Development is the ideal product in demand and where you, as an Internet Marketer, fit in. You can tap into this rapidly expanding market and become the preferred supplier for something of obvious value that so many people from all walks of life are seeking.

You can provide them with an established program of ongoing personal development that will help them become more prosperous, enjoy better relationships and achieve much more satisfaction in everything they do, whether business or personal.

Does that make sense to you? Do you believe that others seek self-improvement and personal development similar to the way you do? Would you enjoy helping them improve their lives while at the same time establishing your reputation as a respected promoter of easily accessible online success education?

The personal development industry can do this for you. And what product can be nobler to promote than personal development? It's no wonder this industry is growing at such a rapid rate.

If you position yourself now as a preferred supplier and work at branding yourself, your financial future will be assured.

Consider This Leading Company

iLearningGlobal.TV has brought together the greatest mastermind of personal development ever assembled. The company profile reveals that after success legend Brian Tracy joined the iLG executive team as the Chief Learning Officer, "dozens of the world's top speakers, authors and trainers followed suit to create the most respected online faculty ever."

The company uses the most advanced High Definition streaming technology to provide an online viewing experience above any other and offers an online personal development library that contains hundreds of HD videos, audio programs, ebooks and more.

Despite industry efforts to crack down on the overwhelming glut of unsolicited email, many perpetrators still exist. Wise consumers are learning to block or ignore unwanted mail, but many still get taken in by bogus offers and trickery. Fortunately, respectable web biz marketers use permission-based email marketing.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

There has been some concern in recent years that email marketing has become unreliable, that technology and enlightened consumers have rendered ineffective the process of marketing by email.

The good news is you can still market by email if you approach the process with respect for your target market. The best way to do this is through permission-based email marketing.

In this day and age, getting permission from your prospects before ever sending them a single piece of mail is vital. Experienced marketers know this and marketing newbies would do well to learn this lesson and adopt it quickly.

Getting permission simply means designing your advertising copy and your opt-in forms to attract the prospects who will be the most interested in your line of products, your niche or the theme of your online business, then giving them a good reason to give you their name and email address. Do this effectively and they will willingly sign-up or opt-in to your newsletter, e-course or whatever it is you are offering.

Once they are signed up, it is important to honour the trust they have put in you as a preferred supplier of the promised information or services. Do not overwhelm them with too-frequent mailings, and make certain that you provide a fair degree of unconditional value in your mailings that is equal to or greater than the amount of advertising or promotional material that you send. In other words, don't just send ads; send as much or more informative and useful material that is not sales-oriented or promotional in nature.

The sign-up process I use for my Home Internet Business Tips Newsletter is often called the "confirmed opt-in" process. After the prospect signs up using any of my opt-in forms, they receive an email message that requires them to "confirm" their interest by responding to the email. All they have to do is click the confirmation link and it is done. A browser window opens with a message confirming that their opt-in is complete and they will begin receiving my newsletter.

Some marketers have suggested that email marketing is in jeopardy, and while it is true that nobody likes junk mail or receiving too much ad mail, in my opinion, email marketing is still a viable choice for any respectable online marketer.

In fact, permission-based email marketing can be a highly effective method of reaching targeted prospects and selling web biz products and services.

Okay! Enough with the preliminaries! Here's a list of products showcased on the website. You don't have to promote them individually if you don't want to. Just refer your prospects to the one site and they can browse around at their leisure. When they make purchases, you earn commissions:

- Apparel (currently 352 items)

- Arts and Crafts (currently 145)

- Books (currently 169)

- Business Services and Products (currently 108)

- Collectibles (currently 274)

- Computers (currently 160)

- Food and Beverages (currently 392)

- Gifts and Flowers (currently 150)

- Health and Wellness (currently 2402)

- Home and Garden (currently 549)

- Jewelry (currently 270)

- Magazines (currently 853)

The items and selection in each of these categories can change daily.

Can you imagine the potential of promoting such a wide selection of products and earning commissions on the sales? This is the easiest online business I have come across to sell products and services. Every step of the process is set up and handled for you. Your only responsibility is to send visitors to the website.

Here's one more big benefit of this business opportunity: you can post YOUR things on the site and sell them, too!
