Getting Your Business up and running: Step 2 Have your own domain name

Hi

Some simple steps in 4 emails to get your business really up and running on the internet and allow prospects the ‘investigate in their own time’ ability.

Emailed steps 1 and 4 so far.

Step 2 - HAVE YOUR OWN DOMAIN NAME – this is very cheap, easy to do, and will ensure your contacts go to YOU and not another teamsizzle person by mistake. e.g. If you go to www.teamsizzle.co.nz – you get us – every time! If you were sending people to www.teamsizzle.com/?id=99 but they type by accident www.teamsizzle.com/?id=98 then they will NOT get us and could sign under 98 thinking they are us! This is especially important if the referral has come from an email or business card floating around. This is why we suggest YOUR OWN domain name.

Sometimes there can just be an error – maybe for that time your contact is looking or maybe sometimes or maybe consistently. Here is an example of when we typed www.teamsizzle.com/siseljet and then we tried their www.teamsizzle.com/?id=130 ……….. If this had been SISEL Jet’s contact going in – they would have got teamsizzle (spot 49) and signed up with spot 49 – NOT spot 130! So ALWAYS follow-up your contacts and find out if they registered.

So for the sake of $8.99 or $12.99 per year – YOU GET ALL YOUR CONTACTS!

Now we have covered the WHY’s. Here is HOW!

You can use the one David found which is in the teamsizzle back office with instructions. Or you can use one we found www.dynadot.com which is $8.99 per year for your OWN DOMAIN NAME! If you want privacy (your address and phone number don’t show) then that is $2 per year.

Some examples of .com domain names are www.rowlinginsuccess.com www.heardofhealth.com These people are assured of getting their contacts going to THEIR teamsizzle websites – check them out.

One trick – if you DON’T want your name showing on the Domain Registration info – then put in a business name rather than your personal name in the name fields when you open the account to buy the Domain Name.

1. Choose your name (search for it on www.dynadot.com) to make sure it is available. Follow the steps to register it. When you get to the referral box you can enter 8K8J9J39M9K8ox if you wish. This is our number. This will give us I think $1 for your referral but if you leave it blank Dynadot gets the $1. Choice is yours.

If you send people to the site to get a domain name you can give them your referral number and then you can get the $1. You find your referral number by logging into your account at www.dynadot.com and clicking on MY INFO tab, and then on the blue line beneath that click on Referral Log. A new page will show and YOUR referral number will show in BOLD. As people you have referred get a domain name they will show on this page.

2. Set your Domain to URL forward to your teamsizzle site. This means when anyone types in your domain name, they go to your teamsizzle replicating site.

To do this you log into your www.dynadot.com back office, click on your domain name and a page comes up with options.

Click on the blue wording “Dynadot Webhosting” and this takes you to another page.

Scroll down to the segment that says “Dynadot Forwarding” in Blue.

In the box “Webpage to forward to” you type http://www.teamsizzle.com/?id=xxxxx with xxxxx being your teamsizzle id number.

Then click the box “Forward Domain”.

Within 24-48 hours check that when you type YOUR .com domain name in the address box that it forwards to YOUR teamsizzle website.

Think about this

– If you are happy with your website – you are going to tell everybody!

– If you have a domain name that you are excited about – you are going to tell everybody!

Leaders – please forward this to your leaders so they can help their downline, thank you.
