The Fool’s FREE Blog Domination Package

Posted by Jim in Blog Flipping, Blog Services, Blogging 101

Does it seem like left and right, everyone is starting up a blog? Blogging is one of the most rapidly growing industries on the internet, and if you use it correctly… success isn’t too hard to find. Maybe you are interested in educating the masses, or perhaps you want to share a photo travel log? Starting up a blog can be used to make money online (even making a living!) and can really get some great ideas out on the table.

My experience has been that blogging seems to be a hobby that many want to try, but nobody actually gets off the ground. While you may have heard of the popular services like Blogger.com and WordPress.com, there is really no comparison to owning your own blog so that you can really customize and control what appears on it. The terminology and expertise can get very confusing, so here’s where I come in! :D

The Blog Domination Package is now FREE!

Coming from a guy that’s owned and operated many successful blogs, I have worked with my sponsors and have arranged a way to offer my Blog Domination Package (retail $150) for a whopping $0.00 to you! Let me take you from start to finish with my professional blog services, where I do everything from configuring your server to optimizing your content.

Here’s What You Get:

  • Free Web Server & Hosting Configuration
  • Free WordPress Installation and Setup
  • Free Website Theme Consulting & Installation
  • Free Custom Header / Logo with Source Files
  • Select from a variety of custom-fit templates
  • Free Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Service
  • Free Custom Plugin Setup and Configuration

How can I offer this for free? I have worked with my main hosting affiliate HostGator, arguable the best web hosting company on the internet (and where theNetFool.com is hosted), to get you a competitive package that allows me to effectively work for free. All of my services come 100% free for new customers to HostGator that act as my referral, and I will even discount things to $75 for those of you that just need a hand setting things up and optimizing your existing setup.

Pricing Plan
The Net Fool’s Blog Domination Package is 100% free when you are signing up as a new customer to HostGator. All you need is a copy of your receipt to prove that you ordered a package, and ordered through my referral link. If you are already a HostGator customer, you may purchase the Blog Domination Package for a discounted $75 (1/2 off!) for a limited time.

Coupons: Use “WORDPRESS” to get your first month for a penny
Coupons: Use “GREEN” to get your overall package 20% off

All About HostGator
When I was faced with the move into premium hosting, I already had my preexisting stereotypes of each web hosting provider in my mind. Of course, HostGator is known for their top notch customer service, so they were on my list from the get-go. But in all honestly, HostGator will get you the most bang for your buck and has some of the fastest servers around. There is a 20% off promotion pretty much every month, so the prices are ultra-affordable, and they are a great company to work with.

Steps to Order the Blog Domination Package:

I want to help everyone that wants to blog, but simply doesn’t understand the system process a chance to hit it big online. I will be providing you a high-quality blog with optimized content that will more easily get you some attention (if wanted). Here are the steps to take in order to qualify:

1. Order HostGator web hosting using this link

2. Wait for the official receipt to come in your email inbox

3. Use theNetFool.com’s “Contact Form” with “Blog Domination” in the subject line and include your transaction # for verification purposes

4. I will contact you and start consulting and building your new blog for free!

“Jim just performed this service for me and I have been EXTREMELY HAPPY with the deal.  He walked me through the process start to finish and timely completed all tasks that were too technical for a newbie like me! I highly suggest anyone who is using blogger or a non-hosted service to take advantage of Jim’s expertise and upgrade your online presence. Thanks Jim!” -The Almost Millionaire

Summary of the Blog Domination Package

I decided to start offering the Blog Domination Package as a way to get all of you readers who like my content, but don’t have blogs, in the game. It’s a fantastic idea to form a blog if you are interested in sharing your insight or making a bit of supplementary income. With The Net Fool’s Blog Domination Package, you can get the professional consulting and optimization services that you would normally expect from a paid service… for free! I like the sound of that. :razz:

It’s Time for Some Speculation - Political Trends Should Drive Short-Term Profits

Posted by Jim in Blog Flipping

Here’s a quick update from a pair of blogs I have recently begun developing in the hopes of turning a quick profit. I am definitely a strong believer in using traffic trends to your favor. As such, one of the most popular topics in today’s headlines (and search results) is the 2008 United States Presidential race.

I don’t want to start debating about which candidate will lead this country to a brighter tomorrow, I just want to make you rich. So let’s take a look at the most recent speculative “gamble” I made by registering two solid domain names McCainsBlog.com and BaracksBlog.com in the hopes of turning them around for some quick profits on a minimal amount of total work. :D

The Story
I am fed up with hearing about how people are making money by flipping domain names day by day (slow as this is), so I decided to give it a go myself. But after purchasing the domain names, I thought to myself hey… why not try making a custom design and loading them with a few articles to boot? After all, if I can pump out a quick custom job in a few hours… I can increase my profit margins tenfold in the long run. Initially, I wanted to hold both of these until after the election, banking on the one winning blog at the end of it all. However, I am a greedy man and I think that I am just going to go ahead and do this as more of a short-term move. This way, I have the room to rinse-and-repeat if things work out well.

The Downside Risk
When you think about speculation, the first thing that should come to mind is risk. Risk is the downside potential that you take on when you try to unlock higher upside (profits). With a quick domain flip, the risk is only about $8 per website… but with a full-blown website, it is a bit more. Let’s tally things up so you can see just what I’m dealing with.

I got the design for free from a hot tip that my buddy Nick Throlson gave. And after seeing it in action at Barack Obama’s Blog, it was hard to look away. Unfortunately for me, Republicans aren’t the web design type… so I had to whip up my own quick McCain theme to fit the bill. This theme is called the “Probama” theme and it was originally made by the folks at Category 4. It fortunately came with the Photoshop .psd editing master file… so switching out a picture of John McCain was easy!

Domain names set me back $12, and I already had a web hosting account. Even if I didn’t, I probably just would have used a free hosting account to save money… so let’s mark that as a zero risk fee. I haven’t done this yet, but I anticipate buying some articles for around $90 total. Finally, SitePoint listing fees will bring my total up $20 ($10 each site) to a grand total downside risk of $122 and about three hours of my time. Let’s see if I can get a decent sell price and get a nice net return on my investment, eh?

BaracksBlog.com: I anticipate that this will be the higher selling blog, but as I am not sure I wanted to buy both domain names. Why? Well fans of Barack Obama will be more likely to be web-savvy than supporters of McCain. It’s just a fact of life. I am planning on gathering some good articles for this website about things like his energy policy, alternative energy plan, healthcare policy, his wife, his running mate (Biden) and his background. With content that is targeted and heavily searched, it shouldn’t be too hard to get things looking professional and well researched.

McCainsBlog.com: Admitting that John McCain will drive less traffic, I feel like a lot of this risk is balanced with the betting sounding domain names that I got with John McCain. As people refer to Barack Obama as “Obama” and John McCain as “McCain,” I got the short end of the stick with my BaracksBlog.com. For content, I am going to focus on the war on terror, energy policy, gas taxes, stock market/economic conditions, his background and his health. Again, this stuff is heavily searched and should pull in some good visitors well into the future.

Again, I am not a professional and do not claim to be. I do not intend on spending any large amount of time building up these websites, and am strictly going to be doing the bare minimum on both. Regardless, I think that this is an interesting speculative project… and I feel that the upside is too great to ignore! ;)
