Hi Guys
Really need to get my landing page sorted and was wondering what to do about domain … is it necessary yet? And secondly the Paypal options … is this the best way for us to go in Aust.
Then what do you suggest the best way to start getting this out there?
Cheers, Frank

Hi Frank, re Paypal, we did go with Paypal. But CCPro advises against it because they can be very uncooperative, for no apparent reason. Eway is a new way to go in Australia and New Zealand. It’s now recommended by CCPro for Aust and NZ. I was talking with the head IT guy at the CCPro event the other day. He was very pleased to see Eway come along. But we’ve checked it out and it does seem quite expensive and more complex than Paypal. It’s up to you. Check out the back office and choose Eway or Paypal. I’ve got to say we haven’t had any problems with Paypal. They’re cheap and EVERYBODY is comfortable making a payment to Paypal. Follow their instructions regarding “verifying” your account and you should be okay.
Re landing page. It is important to choose a good domain name. I will send you a message I sent earlier today to Sean ….
Hi Sean,
In answer to you question … “how to change the name of your website”
To change the name of you website you go to GoDaddy.com and purchase a name that you think is good. Ours, as you may know, is TurnkeyMarketingOnline.com.
We chose that name because it “describes” what we are offering very well.
CarbonCopyPro is …
1. a “turnkey” business.
2. a “marketing” business. And
3. it’s “online”.
So the name, “turnkeymarketingonline.com”, is like an advertisement for the opportunity. It’s very descriptive and attractive for people looking for an auto biz they can run from home.
It works really well in, for instance, a Google ad.
Looking for a home based business?
I was too. Now I make 20k a month.
Full training. Unique product. Lucrative.
www.TurnkeyMarketingOnline.com
The beauty of turnkeymarketingonline is that you don’t have to explain, in your ad, that your business opportunity is automated (or “turnkey”), web-based (or “online”) or that it involved sales (or “marketing”), because all that info is inferred in the name of my website.
So try to choose something similar. Like autobusinessonline.com or autopilotbusiness.com autoonlinebiz.com, onlinebizinabox.com etc. Use your imagination. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect because you can change at any time.
Do not choose names like bigmikesbigbucks.com or stuff like that, which sounds unprofessional. Also, personally, I think names like 6figureguru.com and makemillionsonline.com and names like that are very “last year” and “hypey”. Big turnoff. You can bet your right arm that anyone advertising a site called heybigspender.com or richbeyondyourdreams.com, is actually broke or close to it
.
I may be wrong but that’s what I think people “out there” would be thinking (the “yeah right” factor).
Turnkeymarketingonline.com is subdued and down to earth.
Of course one of the best names you can call your website is your own name. Our sponsor is Ann McLaren. Her website is annmclaren.biz and she is the top perfroming female in the company. We’re going to try using cameronoutridge.com and tanyaoutridge.com in our ads and see if that helps. Having your name as our website is personal, and brands you as a leader and someone not ashamed to let everyone know who you are. Very effective.
Then you have to mask that name and forward it to www.oneyearplan.net/sean …. etc etc.
It’s all a bit convoluted. You just have to get your head around masking, forwarding, domains, urls etc. It will kind of make sense after a while. I’m probably getting a bit old for this stuff now
The best thing I found was when I rang GoDaddy.com, after I bought a domain. They were actually really helpful. Just ring them and say you want to mask and forward www.oneyearplan.net/sean etc. to www(yournewgodaddydomain).com. The guy I spoke to told me what to do and it was fixed in minutes. This was after days of trying to figure out their system on my own.
best wishes, Cameron.
Best way to start getting it out there is via google but it also
costs and it is quite a learning curve. If you have done any marketing before try that method first, whatever that was. If it’s all new take a good long, slow and considered look through the option available in the back office. See which one resonates best with you. For me it was Google. But for you it might be newspapers, or video or article marketing etc. There are heaps of options.
Facebook
MySpace
Press Releases
Article Marketing
Squidoo
Blogging
Google
Video Marketing
Banner Advertising
Forum Marketing
Directories
Free Classifieds
Ebay
Ezine Marketing
Warm Market Email
Newspapers and Magazines
But I have to say Google is the best. All the top earners swear by it.
To be honest, I’d be getting Perry Marshall’s Definitive Guide to Google Adwords and starting there. That’s what I did and I never looked back. Here is a link to his five day free training which you can check out before you purchase his definitive guide …
http://perrymarshall.com/cmd.php?pg=camerono
Then you can get training and advice specific to CCPro from The Urban Cowgirl, Cherie Evette, whose training calls are recorded in the back office under the training tab. She is contracted to CCPro and is an absolute Google Goddess. Her calls are very, very good. Because they are specific to CCPro, our business. She’ll give you all the stats you should be hitting.
Remember it will all seem too much for a start. That’s because it is too much for a start. You have to give your subconscious mind time to absorb all the new info. Eventually it becomes accepted/second nature.
Slow and steady wins the race. Do 40-50 minutes then have a ten min break, or you will drive yourself nuts and start going round in circles. Try to be patient. Things will happen, but not as fast as you want (in my experience anyway).

Thanks Cameron
Thats really helpful. Been dabbling with the social media sites but
mainly trying to get my head into writing about myself …. very
confronting….. but also helps with the Millionaire Mindset and goal
setting and self belief, not to mention more social interaction and
putting oneself out there [Cameron: yeah, at the end of the day,
just be yourself. Big mistake most people make is they try to
be "impressive"]. Have been following Erika Hurricat and love her
commitment to the cause [Cameron: I'll have to check her out].
Also listened to all the Guerrilla Marketing recorded training calls
[Cameron: excellent.] But also my brain has to learn a whole new
circuit.
Just read a book called “The BrainThat Changes Itself” by Normn
Doidge and it gave me hope that anything is possible. There is soo
much info on the info that its hard to stay on one thing at a time
[Cameron: good work, that's the trick (I think) to know that you have
to focus on one thing at a time] Actually I have some Lifewave Patches
that i have put on my temples … they’ve actually eased the brain
strain [Cameron: haha].
Anyway thanks Cameron I will check out Perry Marshall. Actually just
got my first lesson . I’ve listened a bit to Cherie but it went over
my head a bit but I’ll go back to her again [Cameron: yeah start at
the Google 101 stuff then].
Better go back to business. Thanks again and talk soon
