Following Course 1, Lesson 6

http://appleessentials.info

I just got to the point in my course where we talked about making and setting up our websites. I have switched my game plan up to use only one site. Like they say, "jack of all trades, master of none."

If you have been following along, my original plan was to use multiple squeeze pages for multiple affiliates; this has flown out the window. The reasoning for this, true to the teachings on this site, I need to create a site, attract visitors, add affiliates, profit. My original plan would have looked like: build site, get rejected by affiliates, no one visits, no profit.

My new plan is to talk about all things Apple, mostly as it relates to repair. Of course I will talk about which cases I prefer, and screen protectors, and so on. Hopefully I can entice affiliates to jump on board.

I am glad I am following this course, or else I would have set my self up for failure.

Originally, I was going to use a separate host, but I am so glad I paid for premium, I love the hosting here, as it seems really fast, compared to WebHostingHub, which I use for my boss. Uploading files to the server was a breeze, and logging in to all of my various sites, is a snap. Premium is totally worth the money considering it will be a business expense, and I am getting training, and hosting to boot.

So, lets get back to the nitty gritty. I created my domain, http://appleessentials.info on GoDaddy, switched the name servers, created a site using SiteRubix, an then uploaded, my theme, and plugins. After that was done I customized the theme, and added some placeholder text, links, and menu items. I still need to theme my menu bar, and do some CSS work, but the groundwork has been laid.

It is getting late now, but I am very excited about tomorrow, as I surreptitiously get paid to work on my site, in between repairs. I am excited to start taking video of the repairs, and posting them on YouTube, then linking them to my site. I can't wait to see what is around the next corner.
