Discover The Mini Site Business Model – Episode #40

Hi Terry, I’m not sure if I e-mailed you this question cause I looked at my sent box and it didn’t look like I did….don’t want to repeat myself. Anyways, I bought the Chris Farrell and Mini Site through you, and as I was viewing both of these, I noticed the Chris Farrell and Mini Site videos, I could see in the video background they taped this in 2008. Technology has changed quite a bit since then, its now almost 4 yrs. later, the same strategies might not even work and what they are teaching is probably outdated and not current. I saw a comment on which someone had mentioned this as well. What are your views on this?

@Shirl,

Hi Shirl; that’s a tough one to answer without more specific details as to what you mean by “what works” – there are a lot of factors however I think everything can work if it’s a business model and not some trickery so you have to decide if it’s trickery or a real marketing and business lesson.

Marketing hasn’t changed in 100 years, it’s the tricks and tactics that come and go; avoid them and you’ll have videos from 2008 that are still good today; I make an effort to avoid discussing “tricks and tactics” here so my videos should be evergreen. Hope that helps.

If you want to get really specific; please do so and I’ll answer the specifics.

Hi Terry, just looking through the mini site videos and CPanel seems really confusing. I like the way Chris Farrell shows you how to do things much better, the other guy(sorry can’t remember his name at the moment) goes way too quick, I’m already getting frustrated but yet in the beginning he says he’ll show even newbies, well I’m a newbie and I’m lost at CPanel. I’m not even sure how he got his blog on and before you know it he’s got this website already made with hair straighteners etc. I’m thinking how did he go from CPanel and then a ready made website. I’ll go through all the videos until the end, would you be willing to help me if I’m stuck. I really want to learn this stuff and then outsource it. Its just nice to know how to do it first.

@Shirl,

Hi Shirl, yes of course I can help – honestly Cpanel is very easy, in fact when I started 16 years ago it wasn’t available and it was crazy hard; Cpanel is simply your web hosting control panel and it makes everything so so easy; trust me.

For example; when setting up wordpress using Cpanel, most have an installer called Fantastico – it’s so easy to install wordpress that way so hang in there and keep learning – what you are learning will become a highly paid skill, especially if you do offline consulting.

Terry, now I’m getting kind of worried I’m getting like an overload of information, its like unless I buy this or that product none of this is going to work for the website I create, my mini site will never get any traffic without buying all these products. I was so hyped to get going but then I see you have to buy spend another $300.00 just to get all these keywords research tools, links on and on, I haven’t even made a penny and I have to dish out all this money. I understand having get hosting accounts and the domain names etc. thats okay but the rest, so expensive and basically it seems if you don’t buy these things you may as well not do it, the formula won’t work.

@Shirl,

Shirl, you are paying for the education and where else can you start a 6 figure a year business for less than $1,000? I’ll say no where; it’s all totally worth it. I’ve spent $200,000+ to learn what I know today; get focused and you’ll be doing the right thing; yes, it costs money.
