Transcripts

I have a big nose problem so what size

of the nose are we talking about this

size and I'm not very happy so what am I

am I actually talking about I'm talking

about web hosting I want to move from an

expensive web host to a much cheaper web

host but still very good so what

happened why why do I want to move right

it's a bit frustrating uh I'm paying

$61 per month so if you check the size

here we can say that this is a

capabilities of this servers server and

I only use a little place here but I'm

paying for all this and in 2020 I paid

$137 and I checked a little bit more

209

$130 so this is a 5year span where it

increased $30 and in

2019 I thought uh I needed a stable web

hosting that could allow me to host uh

many websites and the reason for that

was I had my web I had my websites on

HostGator and I was using a Content

generator meaning that I picked news

feed or SS feeds and that is a way to

present uh data or information so that

it is easy to import it so I can use an

aggregator to present the information so

this is something that search engines

later pick up so they Index this content

but this is didn't work for me this was

another big nose thing that I regret

doing spending so many years on well I

was learning from people that also

didn't know what they were doing and I

was hanging out in communities where

they recommended content generators and

people were struggling and mostly

because everyone was doing it and search

engines they are pretty smart so they

figure out what is really important so I

wasn't happy do you realize how

important it is to learn from the right

people

the content generator oh my God the

content generator used a script that

took a lot of resources so they had a

high CPU or the server was running hot

well actually it was not running hot but

HostGator only allowed a very small

amount of CPU power and bandwidth

because I wanted things to be cost

effective so then they started to notice

it I had a very simple server that was

actually not using a lot of power but

they didn't like it because it wasn't a

simple plain HTML page so they notice it

and then they froze the server so I had

to email them and ask the ask them what

what was going on well we froze your

account because it was using too much

resources uh you have to make it simpler

and more effective and I was struggling

with that and I optimized the content

generator and uh they allowed me to run

for a little while but then they froze

it again so then I started to suspect

something I did a test with loading the

web page and then saving the content all

the HTML all the images so that the the

content generator wasn't running so I

was saving the information from the

content generator and I got a file with

uh the HTML and all the images so I got

the web page and I uploaded it to

HostGator so you would think that well

if it is only a plain HTML site with

images that this would solve the problem

but nope so I think they looked at the

history and and they just randomly froze

my page because well this guy we don't

like him so this is a big nose service

but this was the reason so that I could

host content generator on this bigger

web hosting but then I joined an

education platform because I lost all my

motivation nothing worked and you know

when you feel really depressed and you

don't have any motivation

you don't don't have an inspiration you

don't feel like doing anything so I had

to take a break for a couple of months

until I thought well I can't do this

again I can't revive my content

generator journey and try to rank my

pages on Google so then I was looking on

YouTube to take the option that I

postponed that I always mowed in front

of me never really exploring it and that

was YouTube marketing so all those

YouTubers that are recommending

different products maybe I should try

that maybe I should switch my game in

180° in a totally different direction

maybe the things that I was running away

from that I didn't think would yield any

result that would that I think that I

thought would would just waste me time

and money maybe I should try it so I

joined this education platform that is

called legendary maror and I got a

mindblowing education because all this

struggle that I was doing I could

actually compare it and see why it

didn't work for example the difference

between low ticket and high ticket so if

you use well I was promoting ClickBank

products low ticket ClickBank product

products because well this was what

people was talking about finding the

right product on ClickBank and then

promote it and there is so much more

that I want to talk about what I did but

yes say that if you use low ticket then

you also get a low commission and one

purchase is so rare it's so hard to get

one purchase because you put so much

work in marketing so why not use high

ticket or products where you get a high

commission from because if you get a

high commission then you don't have to

work as much with the content well you

would think that well if it is high

commission then it's a high cost product

and that would uh increase the

resistance to purchase that product so I

would instead have to work really hard

and a longer time to see some results

but that is not the case it is a little

bit more resistance and it make may take

a little bit more time but it doesn't

scale up the same way if you increase

the cost increase the commission and you

know why that is because people want

quality so if you have a high ticket

product or high cost product people

expect to receive more content more

education more value from what they

spend so it makes it more lucrative more

exciting to purchase something that cost

more it's the same as uh Lamborghini

because the car is costing so much and

it's a high status thing to own it makes

it more lucrative because it costs more

but of course you have to really do a

research that you get much value from

what you purchase and this is why you

you need to look for Education companies

that been for a while been on the

internet for a while because a lot of

people do the mistake of trying

something new that they think that the

grass is greener on the other side so

they try something absolutely new

something they think is hot and then the

company shuts down maybe they purchase a

high ticket product the company shuts

down and uh they don't they can't earn

the money money back the value from that

company is just from reaching other

people and took about this new hot

service and uh how well they are doing

with that service so basically lie

recommending it and then earn from the

referrals so there's a lot of affiliate

products that work like this because

people think that if it is new then it's

hot but anyway I will do this move to

another host and uh I recommend you pay

attention to this I will uh create more

videos and how it works because there

are a lot of work you don't feel like

moving because there are so many

parameters to think about but I will

explore these parameters I'm on this

journey to move to another host and when

I have moved I will send them an email

and tell them that I'm not longer

interested in their service and they

would probably ask why I want to move so

I will send them some more information

about that that they know why because

I've been emailing them and ask if they

could help me out with something smaller

the thing I worry the most about is

setting up the email because there are

DNS keys that you have to insert to make

the emailing work but I'm very happy

that I have shut GPT so it can help me

out with this so if you are like me you

feel like I felt in 2019 that nothing

works then I highly recommend you check

out the training platform in digital

marketing and I will link to it to my

landing page where you can access this

training platform and and uh this

decision in 2019 that I did to join this

platform and follow the training is the

best decision I have done in my online

marketing Journey from all the years

that I have been doing it because I

learn from the right people anyway thank
