The Happypreneur Internship Program has been launched! YAY! If you are struggling to build your online business and just can’t afford the business coaching and training you need to make it happen this could be a perfect fit for you!  

As an intern for The Happypreneur you will learn how to build a successful internet business,  how to market and promoter yourself and your products and how to drive traffic to your blog.

Go here for details.

I suggest GoDaddy.com for your domain purchases.  Here’s a link to get a big discount on all of your domains from them.  Just be sure you don’t log in until prompted or you wont get the discount.  Also – you won’t be able to see the discounted price until checkout.  Go Daddy is the king of upsells, so ignore all the upsells and just get the domain. You don’t need any of that other stuff.  Each domain you buy from them they give you a free email address to match the domain name, so don’t buy one.

Hosting – I use Host Gator.  These guys have the best customer service and don’t treat you like an idiot when you need help. Never had a bad experience with them and I’ve asked some pretty dumb questions over the years.  Buy the Baby Gator package. It gives you unlimited websites and lots of storage. Everything you’re ever gonna need. It’s under $10 a month and less than that if you do a longer commitment.  Most hosting services don’t let you pay monthly.

BlueHost.com – I have never used them, so can’t recommend them, but I know others who are satisfied.  I also know a couple of people who have switched from Blue Host to Host Gator.

Welcome to the first Meet The Happypreneurs podcast! Are you stuck in your online biz? As internet solopreneurs we work alone. It’s so easy to get  off track, overwhelmed and confused by the technology you need to learn to get your business up and running.  Before you know it you’ve spent half the day checking your email, chasing shiny objects across the computer screen and banging your head on the desk trying to figure out how to do some little techie thing or another.  This behavior becomes a habit and before you know it you’re stuck. I’m going to give you some actionable steps to help you get unstuck, on track and moving forward.

I talk about how to get over Shiny Object Syndrome

How to keep you from getting swallowed up by your email inbox

What you should be spending your money on

How to make a plan that you can stick to

and how to pull yourself out of that black hole called technology
