The hardest part of building a new site is coming up with materiel for your content (disclaimer: content may or may not be king). If you are not a subject matter expert in your niche or even if you are coming up with engaging, unique content can be quite a challenge. There are several possible solutions but one I like to use is PLR content.
Private Label Rights content usually refers to ebooks, articles, written contextual content, scripts, and programs. Someone else makes them and you pay for the right to use them, rework them, or even sale them. It is an easy way to increase your productivity by reducing content production time.
My new favorite site is the Private Label Chest. PLC is a PLR website run by Vic from BloggerUnleashed. It has many great products with PLR licenses. There are dozens of niches present with lots of content to draw upon. He uses a drip system to periodically add new content. Many of the products have the entire sales system included including ad copy, keywords, and even an entire mini site. There is also a lot of resources for building mini sites such as graphics, fonts, templates, etc. There is even software available for personal use that will help you promote your products and niches. Many of the PLR ebooks are just waiting to be plugged into the $7 script which is a great piece of software that will allow you to get paid directly in your paypal account.
I’ve been using the article packs to easily generate content and articles for article marketing. It’s easier and faster to just rewrite an article than to spend a lot of time doing research and its cheaper than outsourcing the work on ELance or Rent a Coder. There is even a 25 article pack on green tea which means I am branching out into a niche I never would have thought of on my own. It’s so cool.
You don’t have to use PLR to make money online and some people think you shouldn’t. But I’ll be counting up all the extra scratch I’m making while they are doing research or corralling freelance writers. My time is valuable and limited and I want to make the most of it. I’m also a cheap bastard and don’t buy anything online unless I have to. So if I’ve invested the money you know it’s a good deal. Plus, Vic is a great guy, a little rough around the edges, but he knows what he’s talking about. If it wasn’t for him, I probably never would have made any money online. So go to the Private Label Chest and sign up today.
When I said it yesterday, I was thinking in the back of my mind, no, they won’t actually go there. However, not only did they, they didn’t waste any time. On MSNBC today Brad Blakeman criticized Barack Obama for flying on his campaign plane to visit his ailing grandmother. All I can say is wow.
Blakeman tried to equate it to the $150,000 the McCain campaign spent on clothes for Sarah Pailin. I’ll try to be fair, is it completely above board for him to have flown on the campaign plane? Maybe, maybe not. Is this a stupid line of attack for the republicans to take. Absoloutely. I guess that’s why some strategist no one outside the media has ever heard of was tasked with saying it, in case it sounds stupid (Yah think?).
It was pointed out on Countdown that if a democrat had said the same thing about McCain visiting his mother then the republican outrage would be heard far and wide, it would dominate cable news for 8 days. I agree, Bill O’reilly’s head would explode in a fit of fake outrage.
My question is: is McCain even trying to win anymore? Huffington Post has the clip here.
Barack Hussein Obama…yeah, that guy’s different. He’s an arab or something. No, no way I would vote for him.
B. Hussein Obama, followed moments later by the professation that “What? It’s his middle name.” So which is more galling: the use of Barack Obama’s middle name to mark him as “not one of us” or the fact that they person who just said his name is such a coward that they don’t have the balls to come out and say that is what they are doing. How much of a weasel do you have to be?
I suppose it’s a testament to how much this thinking has been marginalized that not only do racists such as these have to hide in the shadows, disguising their intent with indirection. It’s also a testament to how far we’ve come as a society that it isn’t working. Despite what the McCain campaign thinks, 10 point leads on polls that traditionally skew right is not within the margin of error.
Yes we can.
John McCain’s campaign seems to be run by drunken lemurs. That of course is just speculation by an ameteur and I get all my news from Keith Olbermann, John Stewart, and Fark.com. However, it lurches from tactic to tactic, never sticking with one for very long. Even when they stick with one, hurling negative attacks, they jump from attack (Ayers) to attack (ACORN) and I swear they are just trying to get Obama to respond in a way that they can put it in an ad next week. It wouldn’t surprise me if some surrogate this weekend says something about Obama taking a couple days off to spend with his grandmother. McCain won’t say it and neither will Pailin but just someone will and then they’ll use whatever Obama says back against him.
But it won’t work. Obama is not the sort of guy who takes the bait. He hasn’t risen to any baiting so far that I know. He just remains resolute and dare I say it, Presidential. He by all appearances wants to lead, not get down in the mud and scrap. So GoBama!
I think it comes down to being a black man trying to suceed in a white world. I remember reading about Jackie Robinson when I was a kid. I remember the part where Branch Rickey told him that he would not be able to respond the way he wants to to people trying to get a rise out of him. Jackie Robinson had to be above it all or he would never make it. They say both women and African Americans have to be twice as good as the next guy. Obama went to Colombia, he went to Harvard Law and was the first African American to edit the Harvard Law Review, and now he is the first African American nominated by a major party in the presidential election. I think he knows a thing or two about being twice as good and leaving his ego at the door. He is certainly not going to let some cranky old man who thinks it’s his turn to be president ruin this run. McCain however, seems to be trying real hard to provoke a man just so he can bring him down.
I use Hostgator as my web host. I think it would be accurate to say that it is pretty awesome. Like a lot of people I started out with GoDaddy. I was on a shared server and I kept adding site after site to subfolders and pointing to the subfolders. And then one day my sites stopped working. GoDaddy was not quick in it’s resolution of this problem and so I made the jump to Hostgator. I have had no major problems since and the few minor problems I’ve had were resolved very quickly.
I don’t personally use the shared hosting packages but the Baby Package looks like a very good deal. For $7.95/month you get CPanel. CPanel is great. Let me say that again, CPanel is GREAT! You won’t ever want to use any other interface to your server. If you are currently with GoDaddy, their interface sucks. I’m not trying to be mean, it’s just a fact.
My own personal choice for webhosting is the Aluminum Reseller Package. It’s the least expensive and for now it serves all my needs. For $25/month you get 25 Gigs of diskspace and 250 gigs of bandwidth. A reseller package is ideal if you have many sites to manage but can’t afford a dedicated server. You get access to the Web Host Manager (WHM) software and can create as many accounts as you want. The WHM is an excellent interface for managing multiple accounts. The definite advantage of having a reseller account versus a shared account for multiple sites is that if one site has a massive spike in traffic one day (via a fark link or digg) then your entire network won’t be brought down. Only the one site and you can just increase that site’s bandwidth quota to compensate. The major advantage of a reseller account over a dedicated server is that I want to be an internet marketer, not a system administrator (I can do that at the day job if I want).
Hostgator even offers Dedicated Hosting, if that is what your needs are. I don’t know much about the Dedicated hosting packages. Looking over the specs, it looks like the machine on the basic package is a bit lightweight but the other three packages look like good deals. You also get well over a terabyte of bandwidth to work with. One advantage the dedicated packages have over the other plans is Windows Hosting. If I had a .NET application to deploy and I was going with a dedicated server then it’s good that hostgator has this option because they are just a good company to work with.
Finally, the best part if you are starting out with shared hosting: using the wordpress coupon code, you get your first month for just 1 cent. You cannot do better than that.
Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnant Again. This is from the National Enquirer and normally I would say consider the source but they were right the first time. Her first child is only three months old but I guess she wants to move fast to secure her spot as white trash queen or something like that. She’s only 17.
Have you watched her show Zoey 101? Its boring. Even for a tween show it’s boring. It’s clear that the rest of the cast didn’t like her. I won’t let my daughter watch it because it is so bad (she likes iCarly better anyway).
This story has yet to be confirmed by major media outlets but that coulc change at any moment. I think Jamie Lynn Spears is Pregnant again and another young life is ruined before it has a chance.
