I am promoting Internet Site Launcher here as a special deal for visitors to my blog and website. I have bought Instant Site Launcher for my own use and I can make it available to you at the lowest price permitted by the software license. I realize that when you are at the very beginning of taking the first steps, the steps you have to climb look daunting; so much so, you give up any attempt. I can make this very simple for you. I could do everything for you, but then you would not be learning as you do it. However, if I could make it so simple that you only have to follow a few simple instructions to get your website customized with your links and all set up, you could feel that you have achieved something and you can legitimately say; “I did this”.

The steps to getting your first money-making website online do not have to cost you a fortune.

These are the basic steps: Buy a domain name. (less than $1 for a .info domain from Godaddy.com You will need to choose a domain name according to what your website is about). Redirect the domain and get it hosted This is where your website will be installed. (hosting is usually of the order of $5 per month but I can host your first website for free until you make your first $ from it. You need to have a website built (anything from $0 to £100 for a simple site). You then have to promote and get visitors to your website (use free traffic methods until you can afford to pay for advertising). You have to have a plan to know how you will invest your earnings (very important if you want to create wealth).

Your initial investment is less than $1 dollar to get a domain. One domain can have sub-domains so you can have separate sites all on one domain. To have a website you can construct your own using the popular WordPress software. You can install a theme of your choice and there are hundreds of free themes to choose from. You would then need to build the website adding text and pictures and links to other websites. Whilst this has got a lot easier to do, if you have no experience you might find this too daunting at
this stage. What then if you could build your own by simply selecting from a choice of templates and and making some simple customization which the software allows you to do easily so that you can say you have built/customized your own website. The website template will already include current products from ClickBank which you will sell and earn a commission of around 50% on average. For an absolute beginner and if you qualify for this then I could give you a ready-made template and all you would have to do is promote the website to start generating an income stream.

I can give you training materials for you to follow in order to learn how to get visitors to your website. Once you have made your first sale, you could then pay for the first website given you. Let’s say a reasonable price of $20. When you have made a second sale you could then pay for your website hosting. When you have proven it possible to generate cash from the internet you will no doubt want to have a second website set up so you could generate another stream of income. The more websites you can create and promote, the more money you will generate. At this stage this is where Instant Site Launcher comes in to its own. If you are a beginner this is where you can really start to get involved with building and customizing your own websites. If you are an established Internet Marketer and want to create more profit-making websites fast, then Internet Site Launcher will do that for you. At this stage you may want to go to my sales page and review what Instant Site Launcher can do for you.

This is the deal for anyone coming to this site and purchasing through the order button on this page you can have access to Instant Site Launcher at the rock-bottom price of $19-95 per month. when you realize just how many websites you can launch you will have to agree that this is an absolute bargain compared to what it will cost you to hire someone to build you a website of the complexity that you get with Instant Site Launcher. Remember that these websites are also Google friendly and will help you rank above your competitors who have out-dated websites. This order button is the lowest available price I can offer this product which you will not get from the main sales page. The price on my website chnages as I maske special offers but the price will never be lower than $19.95 and could be as much as $47. Here it will only cost you $19.95.

Tip1: Buy one month and set up as many sites as you can in the time. Cancel subsscription and come back later and request renewed subscription. This way, you only pay for the months you want to create new sites or make changes.

Tip2: Once you know the basics of html coding, you could make changes to your website in the normal way and edit your own pages saved on the server.

If you are an absolute beginner and you really need to have your hand held to get you climbing the steps then leave a comment or email me and I will get back to you.

I am telling you this story because I want to make you aware before you get drawn in with such a company. Some months ago, I was contacted by a company from the U.S. by the name of IncFortune Inc. The gentleman (polite for rogue) said that I had bought a product from Chris Cobb (how did they know this and where did they get my telephone number from?). The usual questions were asked (and I suspected this might lead to the parting of a lot of cash) and I was hesitant with my reply. When the gentleman on the other end of phone explained how they would train me and set me up a website and would earn off the back end of the sales made which is where they would earn their money, of course this sounded good and I could go along with that. This sounded OK but I was not rushing to sign up.

The person calling himself Mike Hill was getting pushy and persistent. When things were sounding OK he slips into the conversation at this point about having your credit card details handy. I made the mistake of giving him the number. When asked to give him my security number alarm bells went off in my head. I then refused and said I would not go any further until I saw sight of their contract. I also requested to speak with Chris Cobb before committing to a contract. I received the contract by email and read it sometime afterwards and I am glad I did not sign up as I would not agree with their terms.\r\n\r\nIt was not until the day after when I came to use my credit card, I found I could not make a purchase and after enquiring to the credit card Company, I found out that they had put a block on transactions which Incfortune had charged against my card.

I am very pleased in this case that the credit card Company spotted this fraudulent charges and blocked them as the quoted charges amounted to thousands of dollars. SO BE WARNED ABOUT INCFORTUNE INC. If you search on Google you will find similar complaints. I am also not happy with Chris Cobb. I had bought his Automatic Income Streams course and I have still to review it and make comments about it, though I would say that you can get the same material from many other sources off the internet. At this moment in time I am not happy with Chris Cobb. Apart from emailing me constantly with offers to sell me something (not a recommended way to use your list as it will lead to “unsubscribes”). I am also not happy with his reply when I emailed him with my concerns. You will find from a search on Google that Chris Cobb shares an office at the same address as IncFortune. At first, Chris said he would find out about what I had said happened with IncFortune. His reply was that he could not do anything about it and that I should check with my credit card company to make sure not other low cost transactions had gone through from Incfortune Inc. When I challenged him in my next email to tell me what action he was taking with IncFortune, he then told me this; “I no longer work with this company, due to many complaints similar to this”. So he admits to working with this company so why did he not admit this straightaway when I asked him what involvement he had with the company. Having been sent this reply, I have sent him an email to which I have not had a reply. I asked him about data protection. How is it that I subscribed to his list which will not be given to a third party and then I get a call from Incfortune. I feel that Chris Cobb whilst successfully making a lot of money on line is not to be trusted and has no scrupples when it comes being honest in his business dealings. He has taken my money and he still tries to make more money from me by sending to me his emails as I am still on is list.

As far as I would recommend, stay well clear and buy from someone else. I doubt this post will do anything to dent his business, but if I can help you as a reader to be warned by all this (for there are many more sharks out there), then I feel I will have done you a service. I do not want to have to post any more negative posts, but I will only do so when I have been personally involved and I think you should all be warned.

I am having to start my blog again as I have already explained in my opening post. I have decided as part of my internet experiences to warn anyone coming to this blog of scams and rogue internet marketers who I come across. It is not good enough that these people make money (successfully) at the expense of the inexperienced who are looking to find a way of getting in on the internet bonanza. There is money that can be earned from internet activities in many different ways but there are those who are making money and not being totally honest or ethical in the way they go about it. The information marketing sector and making money on line are two large sectors and lots of money changes hands.

I have to admit that I have been deceived too many times and it is my fault for taking people on trust. I want my warn people of who I have dealt with and who have robbed me so that you do not fall victim to these people.

This blog will include valuable marketing advice and I do not want it to appear just because I am starting off with warnings of my bad experiences that this will be the tone of the blog in future.

Whatever I post on this blog will be the truth and whilst I can hear the words ringing in my ears from downright liars who have told me they are completely honest and have swindled me, the only way you will find out that what I say is the truth is for you to check it out. I would like to say; “you can take my word on it” but I have to expect you to mistrust me as much as anyone else until trust is established.

I won’t say anymore in this post and will leave some other issues for another time.

If you want to share your experiences please do, contact me and arrange to have your own experience posted as a guest contributor.

The sorry tale goes like this. The hosting company I used to host my blog and my other websites went under the name of TopHostingUK.com and late last year (2010) the business was sold to Northwest Web Solutions. This was not apparanent at the time and I continued to be billed monthly by THUK (TopHostingUK).

At Christmas, the server by the name of HERA had problems for one reason or another and the reliability was in question. At this time I received an email from Northwest Web Solutions explaining the problem and that they were going to install a brand new server. Shortly after this I had difficulty viewing one of my websites so I emailed customer support and I received assistance and my site was back online. The service was apparently there so I had no complaints, but then shortly after this, things started to go wrong in a big way!

Firstly, I received an email from another company called The Easyhost Media Group saying that the new owner David Buik was using the name Tophosting UK which he was not entitled to do and I was given the fillowing links to read what was being said on another forum:

This did not bode well and the tragedy is that before I could really consider looking for a potential new hosting company and transferring my sites, a couple of weeks ago, the server went offline never to return. I did not have access to my wenbsite or email acccounts. My support tickets went unanswered and this did not bode well, so I have had no other course to take than to look for a replacement hosting provider to get my websites back online.

So what has been the outcome? Well for one I have managed to buy a lifetime resller account package for the princely sum of £5.04 or $8.00 Is this too good to be true? Well so far so good and I have got most of my websites installed and back on line which is the main thing for now. It does not matter that the server is based in the Netherlands and the company is based in Bangladesh as long as the uptime and connection to the internet remains good. Once upon a time I got an unlimited everything for just 99p off Ebay and whilst I only ever had one website installed and did not take advantage of the unlimited everything, the inevitable happened, the site went offline and the service disappeared which means that lifetime is only good as long as the company or service remains in business. Lifetime should not be taken as to mean indefinate or for ever.  I have to let you know that within a week of uploading my sites to the server with the new hosting service, I was asked by the the  service provider to my hosting provider to move all my sites to a new server. This was a pain, but it was done and the sites were all back up and running.  The support from the company I bought this package off Ebay is quite poor and has not given me a direct support line. The company of which they are subclients are not willing to talk with me except to tell me I had to move my sites to a new server. However, they were of help in giving me the new server settings.

All was well for a time until I found emails were not getting delivered and it transpired that the server has got on a blacklist for illicit activities from that server. As a result I have had to find new hosting for some of my sites that rely on email from those wesites and so I have relocated this blog site and others to a more reliable hosting comapny.  I say all this to make you aware of the pitfalls of buying hosting for your websites.  When I went direct to the service provider of the hsoting company I bought the package they did not want to talk to me. It was not that I was asking for support, but pointing out the serious nature of the problem with their server on  a blacklist.

I have found a hosting company offering a resller package which  more expensive gives far better support.  There were some set up problems due to the way the WHM panel was configured but all the problems have been resolved and all my sites are installed and working fine.  As I have bought a reseller package I am in a position to offer very competitive hosting to beginners to help them  get started on the internet with their website(s).  I am glad I did not take on customers with some of the hosting companies I used in the past but now I have every confidence I can offer reliable hosting, knowing that the server is backed up to another location on a daily basis.  That said, I would advise and would show any beginner how to make a full back up copy of their website and save it to their computer. This way regardless of what catastrophe might befall the server, all the time and effort you put into building your website will not be wasted or lost.

So, I am back online and shall be starting my blog anew. That said, I have managed to delve into the MYSQL database that was backed up a couple of weeks ago and I can see my published posts. Whilst the backup has not restored my site in full, at least i can be thankful that I can get into the database and copy the articles that are there which I can use to publish as archive material and use to rebuild my blog.

The other thing that I am now considering though it seemed expensive at the time but on reflection and knowing the hours that are totally lost with having to rebuild websites which are WordPress based is that there is software availble for cloning WordPress websites. Not only are you very easily able to clone a complete website easily, but in making clones you are actually creating a backup of the website so I am now going to go and track this software down and I shall give a report on it later; it costs aroung $100 and considering the time it can save you and for the peace of mind that it will give you knowing that you have a complete backup you can install in a few minutes must be worth it. I have a WordPress site that I will have rebuilt for the third time and although I wonder with the activity of the site whether I should continue with it or just let the domain expire, while the domain is live, then I should make use of it. If I had a clone/backup then this question would not arise, it would simply be done and be back on line.

I hope you learn something from my mistake. You think it will not happen, but when it does and you have not backed up your sites it could be devastating.  I was comfortable knowing that my hosting provider made regular backups of the server, never (given the promises I was given) did I ever think that my websites would just go offline and I would not be given access to the websitess to make a backup for when I might have wanted to transfer the website to another server. The simple message and warning is this; if you have invested hours of work building a website, then make sure you have some sort of backup saved regardless of the guarantees  your hosting provider gives you.

I am going to recommend www.niceday-hosting.com for anyone wishing to use a hosting company based  in the UK who gives good support. You have telephone numbers and mailing addresses for when the internet and email connections fail.  I would not trust any comapny on the internet if they do not provide these necessary contact details.
