Building multiple websites or just one website? In this webisode, we’ll be discussing the differences between having 1 major authority site and creating multiple smaller, feeder sites.
Nowadays, people are focusing on building just one massive authority website, instead of creating a variety of smaller, less powerful websites. This approach gives you the freedom to manage and update only one website, not an entire farm of sites.
However, your authority site doesn’t necessarily have to be your money site. Your money site can sell your products, but your authority site can be the place where you focus your passions and interests.
The idea behind this is to have a place where you can hunker all of your knowledge and passions, and share them with the world. The authority site, today, is taking prominence. You need to devote your efforts to one site, you need to build it big, and you need to make it the authority in the niche that you’re targeting.

Internet Marketing Reviews. Can’t live with em’, can’t trust em’.
This episode covers a topic most people online already know, but any level of online experience can still fall for. Product reviews, internet marketing reviews, reviews cover just about anything.
It can be extremely difficult to find honest consumer reviews online. Discovering how to find an impartial reviews site that is not overrun by affiliates or scams, can be a full time job in and of itself. True customer reviews or product reviews that are untarnished or motivated by unstated incentives (affiliate marketing) can be hard to come by. Even with the new FTC rules governing disclosure, you’ll still find many review sites that for all intents and purposes look completely real and trustworthy, that only later turn out to be fake.
That’s not to say there aren’t real review sites out there. Of course there are (very, very, few dealing with anything about making money or internet marketing).
Yes, this Marketing Minute is more of a rant and a warning than anything else. Because I, even after a decade of experience, can still get misled while searching for an honest review online. Whether it be for an internet marketing product, marketing tools, or a brand new vacation property in Costa Rica, it takes a discerning eye to separate the truth from the fiction.
First off, forget the gurus. They’re great, but if your a beginner you might want to steer clear of those mass market training courses and all the “honest” product reviews they seem to acquire. If you want to discover the proper internet marketing tools that will boost your online business, ALWAYS take online product reviews with a grain of salt, unless they’ve proven themselves trustworthy over time.

Web Hosting Horrors – MarketingCrazy Minute’s Second Internet Marketing Podcast!
This is such a great episode! I am going to have fun with this, and more importantly, you’re going to learn from my mistakes. I’m a walking web hosting horror story! In this episode of MarketingCrazy Minute, we’ll discuss hosting your online business website. We’ll show you exactly how to choose a good host, safe from natural and digital disaster.
This episode has been a decade in the making, and every time disaster has struck me, and in some cases I’ve had to rebuild from scratch, I vowed it would not happen again. Yet, it did – and perhaps even continues to. Hosting Horrors will befall everyone whom does business on the internet, as one point or another.
Hosting is important because it’s the foundation of your online business. Without a reliable host, all of your online marketing efforts and internet marketing tools will not be effective. Who do I use? I use Hostgator (yep, that’s our affiliate link alright, thank you!), and, at the high end, Rackspace.
In the past, I have used, with either negligible to downright poor results, Powweb, Ipower, Hostway (large company too), Godaddy/1&1, and a zillion others. What are your experiences? Post your comments below!
It’s important to find a consistent host that has a minimal amount of problems and a dependable form of dedicated support. From website backups to nameservers and prices … the problem is, it’s very hard to know the good from the bad.
Post your HOSTING Horror Story (or perhaps Hosting LOVE story) below:
