A Virtual Private Server (VPS) will help you expand your business from the lowly free website services. A VPS allows you almost complete control over what goes on inside your site as far as programming goes. You can run your own programs and scripts on your VPS as compared to some lower end technological servers. A virtual private server has the best of both worlds of shared web hosting and dedicated hosting services. The VPS costs a lot less than a dedicated server and you can install software directly onto the operating system.

But what does a VPS really help you do?

A virtual private server can help you with defining a sphere of administrative control and self sufficiency with your domain name server (DNS). This will assure your domain name is yours and yours alone.

A virtual private server can provide you with a virtual private network (VPN). This kind of network uses public telecommunication processes such as the internet to expand your business reach with satellite offices and secure information lines if your business associates (or you) want to work from home occasionally. It can also aid your networking prowess.

If you want to have your own website hosting business, your VPS can help you with that as well. You can partition and sell pieces of your server to customers for nominal fees. Each site obviously would have its own domain name, but be in control from your virtual private server.

You can run your website on personal and customizable software. If you have the means, you can have special software created specifically for your website. This is not the same kind of software that is available in stores. Software that is made specifically for a company or organization is not usually marketed for the public consumption. Software made for a company usually functions differently than the software the public would purchase and utilize.

A great use of VPS is a mail exchange. This is basically a messaging system that is an email client specifically catered to the virtual private server itself. Sometimes this server will not have access to the traditional internet and only have access to your own personal intranet. This kind of email is primarily used for a business type of setting.

If I were going to build a real estate website today starting from scratch. These are a few things I would focus on. Understanding what I know now about web design, SEO and Real Estate Websites.

1. Domain name – This is tricky because if your only marketing will be Organic Search/ PPC you may want a keyword spam type domain name. i.e. [http://www.YOURCITY_State_REAL_ESTATE.com] or whatever. If you are going to advertise your website in your print advertising, business cards ect. You want something someone can see and remember. You can rank any site with time and effort but as far as I know keywords in the domain name are still a factor in all the engines so it’s just a little harder. The best solution to this problem is to just simply have 2 domain names. One for print and one for ranking. Have your print domain redirected to the keyword rich domain name and you get the best of both worlds.

2. Website – I would focus on building (or having built) a SEO friendly site that was easy to add content/new pages to as well as having a blog installed. I would make sure the site looked professional of course, I believe that having quality photography and a clean design are the two best ways to get a professional site. I would have a very limited amount of outgoing links on my main page and NO BANNERS from directories.

3. Lead Generation – I would build my site so it entices people to contact me. I would have a contact me page, a Auto Email from MLS page, free CMA page, and of course I would have my IDX search accessible and I wouldn’t make people sign up prior to using it.(This is debated but I find forced contacts to be a waste of time others disagree and I see there point as well) The reason behind this is a site that doesn’t convert might as well not be ranked. If you have 1 million visitors and only 1 person contacts you would probably be better off building a site that 20 people visit you but 10 contact you. You want a site that does both, you want to both a rankable site and one that converts those visitors to leads.

4. Off Site SEO – if I had the money I would hire Off Site SEO out. If I didn’t have the money (which I don’t) I would focus on building relevant links to my site. I would rotate between 10 or so different anchor texts but I would be heavy on my main 1 or 2 terms. These are the different types of links I would focus on getting. 1 Ways links, Recips, 3 Ways, Article, Directory (free and a select few paid), Forum Sigs, Offsite Blogs, Blog Comments, and Press Releases.

I believe if you do (or hire someone to do) just these 4 easy steps you will rank well in the search engines. MSN will be almost instant, Yahoo 3-6 months, Google 8-12 months. During this time I would use PPC and print marketing to supplement my poor rankings and help drive people to my website.

One more point, people need to realize that web leads are different then your normal office leads. Usually web leads are just starting there search. They need to be cultivated; you will need a good lead management system to keep track of these leads. I have found personally that my leads are usually 6-10 months out when they first contact me. I have obviously also received the I need a home NOW leads as well but they are very few and far between.

Drip Email, Newsletters and PERSONAL PHONE calls are the best way I have found to keep in constant contact with my leads. I like to mix it up and contact my clients at least 1 time a week with one of these methods.

Virtual private server web hosting features are some of the most attractive to online businesses and site owners. With a VPS, you can have the best of both worlds: functionality unsurpassed and affordability that you will only find cheaper at the shared hosting level. If you are about to start a website or kick your growth plans in to overdrive, then you may wish to consider VPS for all of the ways that it can benefit your business. And these ways are considerable when you look at it compare with other hosting plans that are both less and more expensive. To fully understand how VPS can work for you, consider the following:

VPS offers a form of shared costs

By very definition, a virtual private server is a shared server with more power and more safety that your website can benefit from. The VPS blocks off users in their own separate chambers that are on the same server. These chambers believe that they are their own private server. While the power is not as much as, say, a dedicated or cloud hosting provider, it eliminates the crossover that tends to drag down websites on a shared hosting plan. As a result, the site runs faster and smoother and is less susceptible to downtime.

VPS offers a great way to manage your users

With reliable control panels and intuitive user features, it becomes easier to know more about who is stopping by your site and what they value about it. This information allows growth oriented business owners and site runners to better tailor their site to meet the needs of their visitors and to reach out in an effort to find more. The usability of VPS goes hand in hand with your ultimate purpose for having it in the first place. Shared hosting platforms do not have the strength or the protections to operate with a large amount of users, but if you are a small to medium sized business, the VPS can give your users a superior experience and have them coming back for more.

VPS beats the competition at both levels

If you are part of a shared hosting plan, then VPS beats your current platform hands down. However, if you are a large business, you may wish to opt instead for the dedicated server or the cloud hosting provider. Still, if you are a somewhat successful business with growth goals and a local reach, then VPS is the way to go because it keeps your site safe and your costs down.

As you decide on a hosting platform, keep these things in mind. Determine where you are as a business and where you hope to go, and then rest easy knowing that a VPS can get you there.



In many ways they are the same thing. Working your Network Marketing business with the Attraction Marketing model requires that you use the power of the internet. There- fore, the principles and actions involved in attracting prospects are almost identical to an Internet Marketing business. This is a good thing because it gives you a built-in way to achieve the dream of almost all entrepreneurs: multiple streams of income. Don’t believe you can create this overnight. Just like anything else, master one step then move on to the next one.

The home run that can be hit here is this: Let’s say you have built a substantial MLM residual income using the Attraction Marketing model, and you are building an information and/or product based Internet Marketing business that brings you additional cash flow. It is the best of both worlds.

There are 3 steps you must have in place before you can get started with this. If you have heard you must build a list, you’re right. Many people believe you should get started on this right away, but consider this: A list is a living, breathing thing. If you build a list and fail to offer value and do not nurture the relationship, the list will die. Before you have a list, you must have a way to communicate with it, and you must have something to say. Here is how to get started.

1. Your brand must be you. This is the essence of the Attraction Marketing formula. Either yourself or your own company, NOT your MLM company. You must have all the tools that are out there to keep you in touch with your leads. Capture pages, videos, training, affiliate products, etc. Your Attraction Marketing system has to feature you; not your company or people in it. You must be the expert; you must bring the value to your leads. Don’t try to create all this yourself. It is not a good use of your time. Your time is best spent on promotion and marketing, not internet busywork. The good news is that there are customizable systems out there that will do all this for you.

2. You must have a marketing funnel to move your leads through the system so you can begin to create your list. At first, you will make money from affiliate marketing. This involves providing excellent value for a small price. Would you pay a little for something that would be of great value to your business? Of course you would. So would most other people. Once your leads know you provide value and can be trusted, they will be more likely to join your MLM opportunity. In step 1 & 2 you have a place to send your leads that provides value to them, gives you an income, and builds your list. A good customizable Attraction Marketing system will do this for you, too.

3. Your own mindset. Don’t do the things that most MLMers do. Don’t approach strangers on the street about your opportunity, don’t keep beating on friends and family, and don’t buy leads. Also stop spending money every course and seminar you see. Spend your available funds on marketing and listbuilding tools. Commit to building your list through internet Attraction Marketing. Make a goal of creating 10 leads a day within 45 days, 30 leads a day within 75 days, 75 leads a day within 120 days. Is this possible? Yes, but it could take longer, too. What if it does? What if you only get 30 leads a day within 120 days? OK, tell me why 30 people a day getting in touch with you about your business would be a bad thing. The point is YOUR COMMITMENT; the numbers will work themselves out.
