A few questions before I join

Re: A few questions before I join

Silver Fox,

The .ws means 'website' they are doing it as a viable alternative to the .com. Pretty much any name you want is available, the company bought the rights to .ws from Western Samoa.

Basically it's domain reg, hosting site builder etc etc. but instead of an affilliate programme, they operate a network marketing system whereby you get paid a residual income on anyone that you recommend to join their service...and they subsequently join. (85% retention rate) 7 day free trial etc......

I am a member but I haven't really done anything but point my domain name to their company site, but I do plan to build a separate site. I was involved in Network Marketing years ago and was pretty successful with it, so it depends whether you are into that sort of thing.

I consider it a slow burner though (for me anyway) my plan is create an income over 2 years. (power of numbers and all that)

A few things about though:

You can buy a .ws domain from Go Daddy at $9 or $10 for the year but you won't be able to earn residuals.

To be in the income programme your domain reg, hosting blah, blah is $10.00 per month.

I think it may be fine for someone who has html ( you don't need it but, I do not like their sitebuilder!!)....some people love it & find it really easy to use, I don't, but I do like their business model which is why I am with them.

Not really a good advertisement for them am I ............ha!

Anyway I'm not posting my link here as I'm not touting for business, but I hope this info was of use to you. Let me know if you need to know more.

regards,

Michele

Karen,

Thank you very much,

I think I have checked them out already, as far as I remember though, I can't choose the languages specifically...but I will go back and have a look. I think I may have to end up paying for specific languages which is no big deal so long as it is not ridiculous money.

To Answer the Languages question, theres a program called BABEL FISH, that allows for MOST translation on a site. I havent used it but there are those who do.

This might work for you.

I have tried it. Good if you want to understand a page writen in a language you don't understand, very poor as translation, sometimes with funny results, certainly not suitable for a pro site.

I have tried many, both online and offline translators. None was acurate enough. I can only suggest that you use some internet bases translation services bureau (by human translators). They are, in our days, resonably priced. Google it.

Correct. For each annual account signup you get a $70 commission. For 3-annual is the same. Not applicable for monthly payments. Min payout $150. Payment usually by PayPal account.
