What are Subdomains and How to Benefit from them?

Auto Blog SumuraiI rarely see tutorials about subdomains and why you should create them. A subdomain is a domain that is part of a main domain. It allows you to divide your website content into multiple sections by adding a prefix to the main domain name. Here’s and example of what a subdomain looks like, subdomain.maindomain.com.

Subdomains are just as important as domains and can be very profitable when used properly. They work well with blog sites, as well as static websites. With so many websites on the Internet, it’s hard to pick a domain name that’s unique and still available. However, you can chose a domain name that can be used to add several subdomains in different niches.

Let me give you an example. Suppose your niche is herbal products and you registered the domain herbalcure.com. You can create the subdomain asthma.herbalcure.com to promote asthma products, or arthritis.herbalcure.com to promote arthritis treatment.

In order to create a subdomain, you must have a registered domain with a hosting company. Most web hosting companies allow you to have numerous subdomains at no extra charge. One of the most popular hosting companies that I recommend is Bluehost. Watch this short video below about domain names with Bluehost.

Creating subdomains allow website owners to maximize their earnings without spending extra money registering more domain names. Let me show you how I profit from subdomains. One of my domains is spylizard.com. I have several subdomains in the spy niche that are forwarded to my affiliate products. One of my affiliate products is a product call niche spy. So I created the subdomain niche.spylizard.com.

By creating this subdomain, it allows me to test this product and other niche spy products without incurring extra expenses from buying additional domains. Additionally, it allows me to delete this subdomain if I decide that it is not profitable. If this was a new registered domain, I would be stuck with it for a year unless I sell if before the expiration date.

Keep in mind that when you are at the point of selecting subdomains, you should have already fine-tuned your niche to specific topics and products. I highly suggest that you start off with one domain and one subdomain in the same niche. After you have those setup or forwarded to your affiliate links, begin marketing through social media, yahoo answer, post comments, youtube, and etc. When you begin seeing financial results, then you can register additional domains and create more subdomains in other niches that you are passionate about. Good luck!

How to Avoid Brain Overload?

Overloaded-brainMost people at some point in life want to invest in their personal development. With so much information available on the web, your brain can easily become overloaded. Often times that same information that you are seeking becomes the obstacle that prevents that development. So how do you know if you are taking in too much information? The short answer is when your head is about to explode.

Before you begin, write down a plan. Since this site is dedicated to starting a blog, let’s come up with a quick strategy. Grab a new notebook, yes a paper notebook, and some sharpened pencils with erasers. The reason I said a new notebook is because you do not need a notebook with other notes in it to distract you. I recommend pencils because pens can be a headache when you need them the most. Do NOT sit in front of a computer, nor watch television. It is OK to listen to soft music that have no lyrics. This is only recommended to help stimulate the brain for those who just can not stand a quiet room. Lastly, turn off all ringers.

Now that you have a work area free and clear from distractions, let’s get started. I want you to write down the following: what do you want to learn; what are you going to do with what you learn; when are you going to implement what you’ve learned; and how to measure your progress. After you have written down this information, bring your pencils and notebook to a computer. Search what you are looking for and save a few of the top searches in your favorites.

I also recommend youtube videos as well. It is important to have a variety of sources. Don’t take actions based on one perspective, which includes Smartblogprofits. While I’m flattered that you’ve chosen to read my blog post, I also want you to read other blogs so you can compare and decide which direction is best for you and your success. Once you have decided your source for implementing your plan, focus only on that one source. Dedicate some time on a daily basis as if you were scheduling a routine workout. Do not expect to start and finish in one day.

I also highly recommend you implement your plan in phases. Read a little, then take action. Do not go to the next step until you have finished the previous steps. Notice on my post “How to Start a Blog” how I detail step-by-step instructions from start to finish. If you haven’t read the post, I strongly suggest you start there first.

If your source is not an audio or video file, I suggest printing out the information. Sometimes tangible information is easier to digest and easier on the eyes. Be sure to track your progress by checking off your list in your notebook as you implement your plan. I wish you much success!

Does Money Grow on Trees

Money-treeWe’ve all heard the old saying, “Money doesn’t grow on trees”. That’s absolutely true. However, experience has taught me that if you sow your good seeds of knowledge, hard work, and persistence, your money will actually begin to grow.

Let me explain more in detail. Your financial future is a direct result of the actions that you are taking right now. This holds true for any activity you do in life. A lot of times we forfeit what I call financial blessings because we do not take advantage of opportunities. Sometimes those opportunities do not come back around. Let me give you a personal experience of a missed opportunity.

In my bio I mentioned that I was an affiliate for VMC Satellite.  A few years ago, I missed a very big opportunity and missed a great amount of affiliate sales. As some of you may know, some of the cable networks were in dispute with a major satellite tv provider. During the dispute, some channels were pulled while the negotiations were settled. I missed the opportunity to promote my affiliate link, because VMC Satellite customers were not affected during negotiations. Although I make money with VMC, I regret the big opportunity that I let slip away.

I say all of that to say this, take advantage of golden opportunities that’s right in front of you. I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I would have done things differently. Hopefully my missed opportunity will serve as a wakeup call and steer you from procrastination.

You have a unique opportunity before you. If you haven’t started a blog yet, I urge you to do so. I regret waiting as long as I did before I started this blog. I’ve read so many blogs and watched hundreds of videos over the years. I finally convinced myself that I wanted a piece of the pie. Although it took me years before I started, it still wasn’t too late to start blogging.

I don’t know where you are financially in life. However, experience has proven to me that blogging can be financially rewarding. I would have never dreamed that I could write blogs, recommend products, and receive commissions when I make sales. Once you make your first sale, I guarantee you that you will not want to stop. If you haven’t registered your domain yet, I urge you to do it now. Click here to register.

UPDATE: Dish Network no longer participates in affiliate programs. It was fun while it lasted. :-(
