For sometime now I have been thinking about the name of my blog………. My Auction Empires. When I started out blogging my main focus was Auctions…… I did not think about the future, this was a big mistake.

Today I have renamed this blog My Online Empires as this name covers all the areas of earning money from and on the internet.

So a word of advice to my readers out there, when you buy a name or are thinking about the name for your business, please think long term and not just short term.

Have a great day.

Hi,

Over the next few weeks, having taken advice from Janelle Elms of OSI RockStars I am changing parts of this blog.

For example I have bought a new domain name and will be using this for my Education Specialist Program, and  this will be a static site with just a few articles there, but the base will be the classes I teach. this will be on LinfordDirectTraining . com (This is NOT live yet).

And I have bought another name for my Trading Assistant business.  This is on Trading-Assistant-In-Staffordshire . com again as yet this is not live.

Then I shall use this blog, to post hints and tips, product sources etc, and as the two new ones will be more static I shall not have to spend loads of time on them, just updating when I add new classes etc.

Happy eBaying

BANS

Well at 9pm I took the plunge. I opened my Wallet and took out my card, blow off the cobwebs, and bought the BANS software.

At 9.10pm I logged into my hostgator account and found a domain name that I was not using. (For those tech people out there I have a resellers account, so It is rather like having a new account – it costs me $24.00 a month)

At 9.20pm I followed the detailed instructions – Note here it is worth while to print these out as you can keep by you as you set up the account)

At 9.30pm I started the upload using Cute FTP.

At 9.45pm I hit a snag with one of the folders it said an error had happened, but to be fair I think that was my fault as my computer had decided to do a virus check and some other stuff..

At 9.50pm I had taken off the script folder.

At 9.53pm I had re loaded the script folder and all was well.

At 10.02pm I had the script loaded onto my account.

It was as easy as they say.

Tomorrow I will start to add content, and also let you have a look at my work.

This will be a thread in progress.
