When I started to think about writing this post for My Internet Journey, I thought it was going to be overpoweringly too long and would end up boring my reader before making an end of it self, I was mistaken. I am not claiming it will be enthralling and keep you on the edge of your seat, get real, it’s not a novella, just a technical report concerned with keeping my readers attention long enough to read it to the end.

To get to my point in week two Alex exposed his students to the mechanics and technical requirements in taking a series of ‘files’ and loading this series of files to a hosting site thereby creating a functioning website. I had never even seen this done before, let alone do it myself. We were able to accomplish this through a series of tutorial videos that made it really simple and totally easy to understand, even for a novice internet newbie like me.

I will however, say just a small bit about each video that was necessary to create this fully functioning marketing website, ready for you to buy and download your product, but not before you opt-in and get your free report. Just like the big boys (Gurus’) do it. By the way I don’t want to forget to mention that these videos were produced by the one and only Gary Parkes that I mentioned in week one.

The Videos:

Video One, the Overview. This video gives the viewer and overall idea of what will be involved in the week ahead in our homework assignment which is building our own first Profit Pulling Platform. It explains how we will be expected to build our very own website where we get to keep 100% of the profit received from selling Alex Jeffreys very successful List Building Program. Alex has already made hundreds of thousands of dollars from this very website and there is always buyers wanting to learn how to build their own profitable list. 

Video Two, Download The Product.  In this video we are instructed how to download the zipped product file. Very short and to the point. If you don’t know how to do this, it is explained very plainly for you.

Video Three, Domain Name and Hosting. Short and precise explanation of buying your first domain name and acquiring a hosting account for your soon to be Alex Jeffreys Profit Pulling Platform, or in other words your very own cash machine.  

Video Four, Personalize Your EBook. This short video explains what is involved in rebranding the EBook that Alex has provided as our opt-in content incentive. Very easy takes about one minute to actually complete.

Video Five, Get the File Transfer Software. Where to go and how to download FileZilla. So easy….

Video Six, Upload a Test Installation. Here is where we learn to actually take our collection of files and by using some FTP software, in our case Filezilla, and create a real website. If you follow the instructions carefully, you get it right the first time.

Video Seven, Set up Aweber Opt-in Form. This for me was the biggest issue, I got a little confused when generating the website after I inserted the html code in the program. I was not really aware that I needed to refresh the html program and was continually executing the same code that was cached and I could not figure out why my Aweber code was not working when I thought I had followed the video instructions to the letter.

Video Eight, Set up Payment Processing, a very important part of the equation, especially if you want to eventually get paid. Since we are using Paypal as our method of payment, this includes the major credit cards. Not difficult when you have Gary Parkes to guide you through the process. Paypal has this down to a science. Basically you fill in the Paypal form with your website names for the customer to receive his payment confirmation and be able to retrieve his digital products from the correct Alex Jeffreys List Building website.

Video Nine, Upload Configured Product and Test. This is the last video in the series of videos building your Profit Pulling Platform, that means we are back to FileZilla and reloading the same files we previously loaded after they have been personalized and reconfigured to point to ourown cas generating  private websites and we are in the list building business with a proven product and proven website.

 In Summary, I certainly explored territory that I never thought I would and feel that I got a basic understanding of the process and would not hesitate to jump right in and do it again. I now realize it is not rocket science and with a little training it can be easily understand and executed. I had fun learning this and I have to say, it was a trip!
