Domain Forwarding Problems

I can't believe all the trouble I've been having with getting one of my domain names to point to a new blogger blog I've set up. I really only set it up to use for posting pictures of things I put up for sale in my local paper's classified ads, but I wanted to use a domain name I have with GoDaddy to point to it with so it's shorter to print in classified ads. The more I look around the internet, the more confusion I find about how (or if) this is possible to do. I KNOW it's possible because I've had this very blog being pointed to by my domain name computer-income.com for several months. That's the domain I had purchased through Host4Profit, (part of the PlugInProfit waste of time and money) which I dropped out of since it was too expensive. But the domain itself, actually through enom.com is still working great forwarding to this blog. I haven't tried calling GoDaddy about this yet, but I think I'm going to have to because I'm not having any luck with this so far.

Dealing With Distractions

Wow, I didn't realize it's been quite awhile since my last post here. Fittingly so, since I haven't been doing much with internet marketing. Seems like it's been one distraction after another lately. So be warned that now I've got a lot of writing to get out of my system - it might be a long one here today! :)

For starters, we got a new cat and then shortly after a new dog too. (Emmy and Pepe, respectively.) So that's certainly been an adventure at times - but a fun one! And I had all kinds of trouble with my laptop after my kids were playing Disney toddler games on it. I actually spent 3 evenings getting it right again. (Sounds like we need to supervise them more closely while they play computer games from now on, doesn't it?!) I've never seen the mouse pointer totally disappear before, with even the Windows setup disk unable to restore it...but I finally got it straightened out.

I also downloaded a couple of new ebooks, so I've been studying those. One was a book on using the wildly popular video hosting site, youtube.com, to promote your own websites with. It's one of those that's being offered with resale rights, and it already seems to be all over the place. Because of this I didn't really care about trying to resell it, so I bought it for only about $3.00 from a guy on eBay without the resale rights included. For $3.00 I think the information itself is much more valuable than just having another ebook that I could try to sell amidst all the others doing the same thing. (I've never been big on that kind of situation.)

Really, in this case, just using the techniques the book teaches seems more worthwhile than trying to sell the book itself. It's called "Tube Traffic", if your curious, and if I was you I'd do a search for it on eBay if you're interested in buying it. You don't need to pay the $37.00 to $47.00 that most people are trying to sell it for.

The other one I downloaded didn't even cost me anything. It's the new 2007 revised edition of Honest Riches by Holly Mann. And I've got to say, this lady means it when she says honest. I bought this from her about 5 or 6 months ago, and she just emailed me a link to download the revised version for no extra charge. I think that was a really nice gesture on her part, and one you don't usually see among the world of marketing gurus! Just another reason I so highly recommend her ebook. Now this isn't to say that she'll always give everyone free upgrades everytime she revises it in the future, but she did this time anyway. It was well worth the trouble too...it looks to be about twice as many pages as the last one, with lots of new step by step details, information and examples included.

As you probably know, I don't plug many things on this blog because I've always meant for this to be about stuff I've learned as I go along, but I really do HIGHLY recommend Honest Riches by Holly Mann. I hope if you do buy it that you'll buy it through my link right there, considering that I never steer you wrong on this blog, and I hope you appreciate that! :) I agree with Holly's honest policy, so everything I write here is what I've found to be true...not just stuff that I've decided to try to sell you.

So all distractions aside, now I'd better get back to work setting up some streams of internet income!
