but I HAVE to ask (and please excuse me for being such an idiot...I'm just not computer literate).


What is web hosting??? Is that when you create your own website with links that then redirect individuals to your company website?


And what about a domain name? Right now, my MB website is www.candlesburnclean.scent-team.com (http://www.candlesburnclean.scent-team.com). Would registering a domain name with, say, godaddy.com change my address??


Autoresponders...what are those? (Do I sound pathetic or what?) smileys/smiley29.gif


I need help. smileys/smiley5.gif

Tazsa,

My DH owns a really great company for small business people-
particularly direct sales and network marketers. We have a great package
for MIa Bella people that includes domain registration (the name of your
web address) web hosting (having your website "live" online) a 5-page
custom build web site with a contact form (so your customers can fill out
their name and email and request info from you, and then the form is
sent to your business email account) autoresponders (automatic
messages that get sent to people who register for information from your
website) and lots more. It is also an affiliate program, which means when
you refer people or have your future team members enlist under you, they
can get a compete repllication of your site, your autoresponders, etc. and
YOU earn money!

You can check it out here at <a href="http://www.bekeeda.com" target="_blank"> Bekeeda.com
</a>

The package with all the major bells & whistles is around $35 a month
but my team gets a MAJOR discount- only the charge for web hosting.
They are also in the BETA testing stage, so if you want to be a beta tester
you can get your package for around the cost of JUST the webhosting.

Call or email me and I can go over this in more detail with you. You could
incorporate your other business, too!Edited by: UNcommonScents

Tasza,

We all started from square one with these things. Great questions.


Webhosting: Yes! you build a website and then that website needs to be hosted (put online). There are any number of companies that do this. As for building a website, I've used internetbasedfamily.com (IBF) and XSitePro. IBF includes hosting and is pretty easy to use.


I'm completely in http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley27.gifLOVEsmileys/smiley27.gif with XSitePro now that I've purchased it there is NOOOO going back! (it is an investment, but worth every penny!) With XSitePro you can do hosting for as little as $3.95/month.


Domain names: Yes, you can purchase a domain name and then have it redirected to your scent-team.com website.Your upline should be able to help you with that. It's pretty easy.


Autoresponder: Is a means of writing up emails that are sent out automatically to your customers or those who have expressed an interest in your business.


Here's an article for ways to use an autoresponder:

Aw thanks, Emily! Chad says you're a real "dream customer" too!

I also think he's a pretty great guy, but I'm awful biased...

I married him! smileys/smiley36.gif

BTW, did you know how we came up with the name BEKEEDA? It is the first
2 letters of the names of our daughter's and our business partner's kids.
Pretty neat, eh?
