I don’t like GoDaddy’s marketing strategies.

I’m switching to NameCheap as my domain registrar of choice.

I realize that most people would rather buy from a cute chick that some old, bald, geeky dude (Bob Parsons), but in my opinion, GoDaddy’s marketing goes way beyond that. I guess I would rather buy from a registrar that doesn’t market domains with Playboy cover girls and commercials that make beer commercials look prudish.

You may have heard of BlogRush, the latest product from John Reese. It’s touted as being “the fastest and easiest way to drive a flood of visitors to your blog”. It’s basically a advertising exchange program designed specifically for blogs.

I believe that BlogRush may become a powerful, dependable tool for driving blog traffic. The key to success with BlogRush is getting other bloggers in your network/downline, though. Leverage is where the power is with this system…

This past week I had the privlage of attending an entrepreneures meet up at the home of 23 year old multi-millionare Ryan Allis’ home. Ryan Allis is the owner of multiple internet companys. Most well known is icontact.com. There were some great new sites to consider for hot new web 2.0. First off was BookMesh, a site that is in invatation only phase for networking based on books. You like certin books it links you up with other users and has recomendations on books that you like based on other users. The second company which I realy like is ShoeBoxed.com, a very cool service that allows you to enter a shoe boxed email so that you dont have to worry about getting spammed. The shoeboxed account also keeps all your recepts in a well formatted interface so you can look back for historical purposes. I have already registered and look forward to using it for business purposes. Please check these hot new web 2.0 sites and let me know what you think!

As I type this post, I’m on my way back from a “More Heart Than Talent” seminar in Philadelphia, PA. The speakers were Jeff Combs, Susan Sly, and Todd Falcone. The event was focused mainly on network marketing and direct sales, but a lot of the material was good for any entrepreneur.

Here are a few of the gems from the training:

• Your inspiration for building your business has to exceed your desperation. If you are starting your own business because you want to buy a new car, you’re probably going to quit when the going gets tough. You have to find a motivation that’s big enough to keep you going.
• For network marketers: you need to find out what your business builders’ inspiration and motivation is when you sponsor them. This does two things. First, you can avoid wasting your time on people who don’t have a bid enough motivation. Secondly, you can use a person’s inspiration/motivation to help them stay going and stay focused when the going gets tough.
• Selling is all about listening and asking questions. If you want to become a better salesperson, become better at listening and better at asking questions. As the cliché goes, questions are the answers.

To be honest, I didn’t as much from Jeff Combs training as I hoped, mostly I think because my Christian worldview conflicts with some of his life philosophies. Susan Sly had some good stuff…

I really liked Todd Falcone’s stuff, though he only had an hour and did not get into much detail. I think I could have learned a lot from him if he had more time. Not to mention the fact that Todd makes a good stand-up comedian!
