Stuck? What Holds You Back?
If you are not moving forward as fast as you would like to, do you know what it is that is holding you back? From what I have learned, most people are suffering from information overload and being overwhelmed by all there is to learn–two things that put people in a state of paralysis.
It is most important to break free of that state as soon as you recognize it.
One way to do that is to back up and start over–begin at the beginning.
Forget every system and push button solution you heard about for now, and take stock of where you are. All you really need to get started is a domain name, a website or blog to put on it, a place to host it, such as Hostgator, and an autoresponder. It will cost a few dollars, but it is not even close to the money it would cost to start a business offline, for instance.
We’ll cover each one in future posts, one at a time.
Okay, then: your domain name. Try to get your own name if you can. Mine is www.razschultz.com. It was easy to get, since there wasn’t a lot of competition for it, lol. If your name is John Smith, it is probably already taken. In that case, you can use your initials or add something to it such as JohnSmithMarketing.com, or whatever works for you.
There will also be suggestions for other possibilities when you search, if your name is taken. If you really do not want, or cannot get, your name and you know what niche you want, you can get a domain name to match the niche. Once again, golfing.com will be taken, but play around with names and combinations awhile and you will find something that suits you. Get a .com, though, not an info or .net.
You can always get more domains later, so you will not make a terrible mistake here, no matter what you choose. Try Name Cheap–here is my affiliate link:

They are an excellent place to get a domain name and will work with Internet marketers, unlike some big name domain sellers who have cancelled accounts without warning. You need to be careful, but that is all I can say on the blog.
We will cover the next step soon.
