PS – The last “class” I offered sold out in 18 hours… and
most of my subscribers didn’t even find out about it until
long after it was completely filled up.

That’s why I have the mini-site set up the way I do… to
give everyone a fair shot, since so many people missed out
on the last event I did

very important email announcement.

Jim Edwards here with an article (below) that can make or
break your business overnight…

It’s about the all-too-comon mistake most people make
setting up their online business that spells DOOM before
they even get started. I think you’ll really enjoy it

Speaking of online business…

Did you know that a “Joint Venture” is the absolute fastest
way to launch a business (online or offline)?

It’s true!

In fact, I can trace the VAST majority of my online success
back to a single JV I did with Joe Vitale that literally
changed my destiny and launched my career.

The problem is… there’s a ton of MIS-information going
around about JV’s.

In fact, over the last year, a lot of the information being
thrown around about JV’s online is downright WRONG and
FALSE.

(Pluse the fact that most of the people selling the info
have NEVER done more than one or two “real” JV’s… if any).

But, I’m getting ahead of myself…

I was talking to my buddy Stephen Pierce about this the
other night (he’s done a bunch of *real* JV’s himself that
have generated 7-figure paydays) and we decided to do a
FR.EE tele-conference to talk about how you can use JV’s to
build your business quickly… even if you’re starting from
scratch.

You can grab a seat on the fr*ee call here:

=> Joint Venture Secrets Exposed

We’re going to cover:

~ What is and is NOT a “real” joint venture (and WHY you
want to do a “real” one as soon as possible)…

~ How doing a “real” joint venture can skyrocket your
business overnight and allows you to ride someone else’s
coat tails to success…

~ The HUGE mistakes people make when trying to do JV’s (and
what you should do to avoid them and ensure your own
long-term success and growth)…

~ The “JV Advantage”… how to get it… how to leverage
it… and how to profit from it continuously…

~ Actual multi-million dollar JV “Case Studies” that give
you insight into how to construct and rollout JV’s,
including: How Stephen structured a 3-way joint ventur
that generated $2 1/2 MILLION in sales in less than 6 months.

… Plus, our “can’t miss” TOP Tips for successful joint
ventures…

So claim your seat on this ground-breaking call and we’ll
see you Thursday night (again, it’s fr.ee)

Avoiding “Bad” Web Hosts

– by Jim Edwards

The Internet represents the most powerful communication
revolution since the dawn of mankind.

Its communication power can literally create business
empires faster and with less startup capital than in all
human history.

Yet, with all this power at their fingertips, it amazes me
that most businesses and entrepreneurs will put their
business in jeopardy just to save a couple of bucks.

Would you build a luxury home on a foundation made for a
double-wide trailer?

Would you mount a race car body and engine on a chassis
built for a go-cart?

If not, then why would you try to build a legitimate online
business to support your family and contribute to your
livelihood using $4 a month hosting?

It doesn’t make sense, but people do it every day and,
unfortunately, the consequences can often cost you a
hundred times or more of what you “saved.”

When you go to choose a web host, you need to think in
terms of the purpose for your website(s).

If you want a little family site or a non-commercial blog,
then $5 a month hosting may be just what you need.

If you want to host a basic, but dependable website to sell
your own, or someone else’s products, then plan on $9-20 a
month, depending on how much hand-holding you need from
your web host’s technical support staff.

If you want to host multiple sites to generate search
engine traffic, sell your own products online, and get a
moderate amount of traffic, then plan to spend $15-$50 a
month, depending on which options you choose.

If you plan to operate a serious e-commerce site and need
the flexibility to grow, then a dedicated server for $100-
$200 a month may fit the bill.

When evaluating a web host, keep the following in mind.

Will you run scripts on your website?

If yes, then make sure the web host offers a cgi-bin and
mysql database. Those allow you to run almost any kind of
script you’ll need on a basic to intermediate level site.

Will you have your own “dedicated IP address?”

All domain names correspond to an IP address, which is just
a series of numbers.

Just like a phone number dials up the correct phone
anywhere on earth, each domain has its own number.

However, depending on how your host sets up their server,
your domain can actually share an IP address with dozens,
even hundreds, of other websites.

If one of those websites misbehaves, it can adversely
affect everyone on that same IP address.

My advice: pay a little extra to make sure you get your own
dedicated IP.

How much space will you need?

Make sure you get at least 100 megabytes of space from your
web host.

Also, make sure you get at least 10 email forwarding
accounts and 10 gigabytes of data transfer per month.

Also, the hosting market is so competitive now that you
should never pay a setup fee.

If in doubt, shop around, compare and always ask someone
you trust or check up on what others have to say about a
specific hosting service by visiting sites like

http://www.webhostingtalk.com

The moral here?

Understand that your web hosting account is literally the
“foundation” for your online business, so don’t skimp.
You’re only hurting yourself in the long run if you do.

Jim Edwards here with a “refrigerator” article…

Now you might ask… “What the heck is a refrigerator
article?”

Simple…

This is one of those articles that my newspaper readers
email me and say they liked it so much, the cut it out and
taped it to the ‘fridge!

It’s got some really good tips in it I think you’ll like.

PS – My buddy, Armand Morin, may have just put the folks
who sell Camtasia out of business… at least as far as all
us information marketers are concerned.

He has just released his own “Screen Cam Software” – a
suite of tools that makes creating screen capture videos
like I make for my “I Gotta Tell You” newsletter an absolute
breeze.

In fact, here’s exactly what I had to say about the software
after I got a sneak preview:

“WOW! I thought nothing could replace Camtasia, but you
guys have taken all the stuff an information marketer needs
to create screen capture info-products, taken out all the
extra junk you don’t need, and made it push-button-simple
to point, click, and create professional level screen
capture videos. This is a must-have if you plan to quickly
create multi-media info-products!”

fast… and do it for a lot less money than Camtasia
charges, check this out now:

Time and Money Saving Computer Tips Everyone Can Use

– by Jim Edwards

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

As hard to believe as this may sound, sometimes the
solution to a computer problem doesn’t involve spending
more money.

Sometimes, the solution to your problem lies in just
knowing how to do something a little differently, or
finding one of those “hidden” solutions that usually take a
week to discover.

Based on that model, the following tips should save you at
least $200 and 3 weeks work!

** Free, Fast Anti-Virus **

Now I know some of the “purists” out there will barely
contain themselves from emailing me to say how they
disagree with what I’m about to write, but I know they’ll
control their urges.

I own seven computers of various levels of maturity (one is
5 years old and running strong).

My oldest laptop needed a virus update, but when I
installed Norton 2005, the system just couldn’t handle the
weight of such a huge program.

Solution: log on to www.grisoft.com and download the Free
edition of AVG Anti-Virus.

Much less processor intensive than the bigger anti-software
players, this program gave my old laptop adequate
protection and breathing room to perform other computing
tasks besides keeping the anti-virus running.

** Use Keyboard Shortcuts **

Hit the “CTRL+Z” keys and you can almost always undo the
last action taken in virtually any Windows program.

Knowing this keyboard combination has saved the life of my
computer (by not throwing it into the street) and my sanity
on numerous occasions.

“CTRL+D” in Internet Explorer will instantly create a
“bookmark” in your favorites folder while “CTRL+B” enables
you to organize those bookmarks into folders.

The problem, however, arises when you want to learn all
these keyboard shortcuts, especially in Microsoft Office
applications.

With Microsoft Word at least, you can set up the program to
display the keyboard shortcuts whenever you hold the mouse
over a button.

Got to “Tools” -”Customize” – “Options” and select the
“Show Shortcut Keys In Screen Tips.”

This will cause the shortcut key combination to appear
whenever available for a certain function.

** Slow Surfing? **

If your Internet Explorer starts giving you problems, you
might want to clean up your “Temporary Internet Files.”

Most people don’t realize it, but when you leave a web
page, it doesn’t leave you!

Most of the time you keep a copy of websites you visit on
your hard drive and, over time, they build up.

Here’s one way to clear out those old files. Click your
“Start” button, then “All Programs,” “Accessories,” “System
Tools” and “Disk Cleanup.”

After an initial check of your hard drive (which can take
quite some time if you’ve never used the utility), you can
check the boxes of the files you wish to delete.

To speed up your surfing, at a minimum, make sure you
delete the “Temporary Internet Files.”

** Your House From Space **

Google.com’s “lab” is cooking another nifty gadget for
driving directions. Log on to maps.google.com and get
directions to virtually any U.S. location.

What makes this tool “cool” is the “satellite” link at the
top of the page which enables you to see your destination
from satellite photos taken from outer space.
