Having been in business online since late-1996, I've used a
number of different web hosting companies - as you might well
imagine. I currently use three hosts. I still use three hosts
because I don't believe in putting all of your eggs in one
basket.
No matter how good a web hosting company is, things like a
natural disasters could take their servers (and your sites)
offline. If you have sites hosted on different servers, in
different geographic locations, you diversify that risk.
Having your sites on different servers in different locations
also allows you to put related sites on different IP addresses
for search engine optimization purposes. We won't get into that
topic in this article though.
Today, I want to share with you how I host 150 of my sites for
only $2.04 each, TOTAL cost per month. I'll reveal to you how you
could easily do the same.
I'm talk "quality, full-featured, cash-gushing, sites!" I'm a
"charter member" of a member-only website called Content Desk.
This membership site teaches you how to set up and profit from
creating content sites. The membership provides you with tools
and instructions on how to quickly and easily erect these content
sites.
Charter membership in this site is limited to 400 members, so it
may be sold out when you check. If it is, just get on the waiting
list. From time to time, members don't renew, and that's when
you could get in. Members don't renew because circumstances in
all of our lives change from time to time.
I've looked high and low, and haven't seen anything that compares
to Content Desk. That's why it's an integral part of my online
business model.
If you want more information on Content Desk, and are in a hurry,
you can read all about it at: http://MassiveCashFromArticles.com
Click on the link labeled "Charter Membership" in the left menu
bar.
Content Desk allows you to tap into a database of over 146,000
articles covering countless topics. You can search this database
and select articles by keywords, authors, keyword density, etc.
You can take the selected articles and have proprietary software
output those articles into unique templates that you've designed.
Note: Content Desk actually has many other facets but I'll just
focus on building content sites here. The magic of Content Desk
is that they step you through the process of creating quality
sites that the search engines will love, your visitors will
love, that won't get you banned, and that you'll generate a lot
of cash from. You are taught how to do this through online
tutorials and live tele-events.
Members learn from John Reese, Jonathan Page, Brad Fallon,
Michael Fortin, Carl Galletti, Keith Baxter, Ryan Deiss, Frank
Garon, Willie Crawford, Jack Humphrey, and many other virtual
empire builders. These members all teach at free teleseminars
and webinars only available to members.
The point I'm trying to make here is that members aren't left on
their own. In fact, Content Desk has a very active member-only
forum that's frequented by many "FedEx Club" members. That's a
term used to describe people earning over $10,000 per month in
Google AdSense revenue. Google used to send those large check
only by FedEx. Google now offers the option of direct deposit...
which is what I use :-)
I don't want this to turn into a pitch for Content Desk, but
that's how I've set up an amazing number of very profitable
content sites that I now operate virtually hands-free. In-fact,
the software even automatically adds new articles to my sites
based upon criteria that I've specified.
When new articles are added to the database, you don't even have
to go in and find them. The software sees the articles, sees that
they match your criteria, and automatically adds them to your
websites, fitting them neatly within your templates. Your sites
literally grow themselves.
I also automatically post new entries to my blogs. These entries
originate from new articles that have been added to the
database, or from pre-selected articles that I've cued up.
I give my blog visitors new posts, containing EXACTLY the
information that they are looking for, while I'm out fishing
in the Gulf of Mexico. You can easily do the same thing.
I'm sure that by now you can see the power of how I set-up and
run many of my "money sites." My focus is on creating quality
sites that the search engines will love, that will not get your
sites banned, that your visitors benefit from, and that will make
you tons of revenue.
Charter members are GIVEN 1500 meg of disk space as a part their
membership which costs $197 per month. You also get 180gig of
monthly bandwidth. That 180,000 meg of monthly bandwidth. Please
note that this space is only for hosting your OWN sites. It can't
be resold or given away!
I mentioned earlier that, for search engine optimization
purposes, it's sometimes important to spread related domains
across different IP blocks. The free hosting that charter
members of Content Desk receive is spread across a number
of IP blocks.
If you set up simple content sites, without a lot of huge files,
you can easily keep them to only 2-3 meg per month.
If you include interactive tools, such as a blog, you want to
leave room for several years of growth. That's why I allocate 10
meg of disk space for many of my sites.
Divide your 1500 meg of free hosting by 10 meg per site, and you
end up with 150 sites that you can host. You actually decide how
you want to split up the disk space that you are allocated. I use
10 meg because that's sufficient for most sites.
Back to the math... 150 sites for your $197 per month membership
equates to $1.31 per site (rounded off). Add $8.75 per year (73
cents per month) for a domain name, and your total monthly cost
per site is $2.04. With web hosting this cheap, you actually
don't need to make a lot of sales to be profitable. I have to
make lots of sales... to reach my 7-figure income goals :-)
In case you're wondering where to host domains for only $8.75 per
year, check out the discount domain registration service at:
http://875PerYearDomains.com
As an aside, I set this up for private clients because I was
disgusted with seeing how large domain name registration services
were ripping people off. You are encouraged to use it to
register, or renew, all of your domain names. You're getting VERY
close to the wholesale rate. Companys that charge you less make
up the loss somehow on the backend ;-)
If you were just setting up content sites, or mini-sites, it
would be very easy to actually keep all of your sites below say
5 meg each. So that same disk space could theoretically host 300
sites. If you divided the $197 per month cost by 400 sites,
you're paying only 66 cents per month, per account for hosting,
plus 73 cents per month for domain name registration. That brings
your cost per domain hosted down to only $1.39 EACH.
Many Internet marketers own the reprint rights to literally
hundreds of different products that they never actually do
anything with. Using the system I'm laying out for you, you
would:
1) create a mini-site that has the salespage for the product as
your index page.
2) Use the tools in Content Desk to create dozens of related,
tightly-niches article pages.
3) Link off the index page to an article index page, where you
link to related articles hosted on your site.
4) Have links on all of the article page pointing back to your
index page (your salespage).
5) Add Google AdSense or some other revenue generator to your
article pages if desired.
6) Submit your site to the search engines directly, or by
linking to them from sites that are already indexed, and that
are frequenlty crawled.
7) Write, or have written, articles that pertain to your niche.
Include a link back to your mini-site in the resource box. Use
Content Propulsion Lab to submit these articles to an incredibly
immense NETWORK of article directories. You'll find Content
Propulsion Lab at: http://CashThroughContent.com Note: Charter
members of Content Desk get free membership in Content Propulsion
Lab.
8) Use Content Desk's tools to periodically, automatically add
new pages to your mini-site to keep it fresh, and to train the
search engine spiders to re-crawl your sites often.
9) Watch the sales of these products that you have resale rights
to trickle in totally hands-free. It's not unrealistic to plan a
mini-site that only uses 5 meg of disk space. Many of my 1-page
sites that are straight sales letters, use less than 1 meg for
the salespage, "thank you page," and digital products that are
stored on the site. If you had a site containing audio files, zip
files, etc., then you would expect to use more disk space for
that site.
To conserve disk space, you could store your larger files, off
your mini-sites. Server space and bandwidth is dirt cheap, so you
can easily find places that would allow you to store all of your
larger files in one place for only a few bucks a month. Many of
the free hosting companies will give you enough disk space to do
this. You don't want to use the free hosting companies to host
your main site because it generally looks very unprofessional,
and it will impact sales.
With content propulsion lab you can store your large audio files
on their server and stream from there, saving you a lot of space
as well.
With 1500 meg of free disk space and free web hosting, having
enough disk space really should NOT be an issue anyway.
One of the first excuses beginners offer for not getting their
web businesses off the ground is that they can't afford it. They
contend that they don't even have the money for web hosting. I've
just showed you that you can host your websites for next to
nothing, when you follow my example.
It's not totally free, but running a web business DOES take
money. Starting and operating a web business takes a lot less
capital than a comparable offline business would though.
I've just revealed to YOU how to run your business for a small
fraction of what your competitors are spending. This offers you a
substantial competitive advantage. I've also just revealed to you
an integral part of my business operating system. I can safely
reveal this because, even if you are my DIRECT competitor, I know
that most people will do absolutely nothing with this amazing
knowledge. If you're not my direct competitor, I hope that you
do use this information. It has changed lives!
