I haven’t been posting to this blog nearly as much as I would have liked to, so I’ve decided to make more of an effort to post and give you some really good stuff for free… starting with this post.

(Now would also be a good time to sign up for the RSS feed)

Anyways, I recently ran a promo where I gave my Traffic Tips Report for free as a list building promotion.

It’s been over for a couple of weeks, but I’ve still been getting a lot of questions about it. So I’ve decided to write this post, not only to show you how it went, but to show you how you or anyone else could run a similar promo with similar success.

To help us to learn more about unfamiliar services and companies, especially when it comes to web hosting, reviews can go a long way in helping to make a decision. It’s important to be aware of the background of any web hosting company you plan to do business with, whether they’re new to the scene or have been around a while.

Whether you want to put up a large e-commerce web site, or a small business site, it’s important that you do your research. There are many different types of web hosting review sites, many that claim to give the best, most thorough or objective reviews available online for the many different hosting services that are available online.

You may find that some of these hosting review web sites are quite large and have hundreds or thousands of reviews of web hosting businesses. Often websites like this usually have a large staff complete with customer service and support who regularly update the web site with new reviews and links. It’s important for these review web sites to maintain their image by keeping everything fresh and current without doing anything to tarnish the web site’s image.

Web hosting is something that many online businesses struggle with at some point. Who do you choose? What do you look for? What features do you need? Etc. Etc.

All of those questions have been answered over and over in many articles on many websites, so what I’m going to address in this article is when enough is enough and you need to make the move from a shared hosting plan to a dedicated one.

Anyone who’s just starting out in internet marketing can easily get by with a shared web hosting plan, where your website is hosted by a third party on their server along with hundreds of thousands of other websites. Shared hosting plans are cheap, they’re extremely easy to use / manage and they’re more than adequate for 99% of websites.

This is something that’s seemingly simple, but extremely powerful. Luckily it’s something I learned, and a mindset which I developed, before I started up my first offline business years ago, or I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Here’s the gist of it: Work on your business, not in it. That’s it.

Here’s an example:

Let’s say that you’re a painter by profession. If you’re working in your business, that means you’re going out everyday and painting whatever it is that you paint and when you return home, you’re working on things like book keeping and equipment cleaning That hardly leaves any time for marketing, hiring, firing, training and in general, getting more business to earn more profits.

But, if you’re a painter and working on your business, that means that you’re taking some of the time you could spend painting, to work on drumming up new business or increasing the profit margin from the business you’re already receiving, thereby, increasing your overall profits.
