Question 1

How can you make money doing software reviews online?

Accepted Answer

Capterra is a software review website that incentivizes people with legitimate and authentic reviews of software.

You can make between $5 to $10 per review. These incentives are by invitation-only.

How do you get invited?

I have recorded several videos on YouTube showing exactly how I make money by doing software reviews on Capterra.

I will leave links for these videos at the end of this page.

In terms of the steps to take:

(1) Go to [https://www.capterra.com](https://www.capterra.com) and sign up with your Linked-In account.
(2) Do a review on 1 product you know so that you are in their system. Do not do more reviews! Just do 1.
(3) Write to their support, asking if you can do some reviews for an incentive program.
(4) Wait for a reply, or an email inviting you to do reviews and get $5 or $10 per review. Be patient. This can take weeks or months. I have no control over it nor can I guarentee it will happen.
(5) Do 10 reviews and make $50 to $100

Here are the links for you to follow the steps outlined to make money with Capterra software reviews:

This is not a way to make money online as a career. This is simply a way to make extra income here and there if you have software you are familiar with that you can review.

Question 3

What is GetResponse?

Accepted Answer

GetResponse, in operation since 1998, is one of the oldest and most well-known email marketing companies in the world. [Getresponse](https://link.eranbucai.com/GetResponse) is an email marketing app that allows you to create a mailing list and capture data onto it create newsletters that can be sent to the subscribers on your mailing list automate your emails to subscribers via the use of autoresponders' view and analyse statistics related to your email marketing campaigns open rate, click-through, forwards etc. Recently however, Getresponse has shifted its emphasis considerably: the product now aims to be more of an 'all-in-one' marketing solution rather than just an email marketing tool. Accordingly, in addition to email marketing, Getresponse now also provides e-commerce features, webinar hosting, landing pages and automated sales funnels. I have personally used GetResponse since August 2018. Their customer support is 5-star. They have 24/7 human support, which is rare. They are always available and helpful. Their email deliverability is great. Being a long-standing software, they are easy to integrate with many other tools out there. This is my number 1 recommendation for anyone starting online. Their basic plan is reasonably priced, it is easy to use, and has 24/7 support - which when you are getting started or technically challenged, is invaluable. I personally do not find the value in their additional services of funnels, landing pages, webinars, etc. I simply use their basic plan for my autoresponder automation and sending broadcast emails to my list. It integrates with [EranFunnels](https://eranfunnels.com/) too, with a simple copy and paste.

Question 4

How to choose a great domain name?

Accepted Answer

There are a few simple rules. * The shorter the better. * Make it catchy or easy to remember. * Make it relevant to your niche or industry. * The fewer words within the domain the better. Finding a domain which is 1 word is really hard these days (for a .com domain), 2 words, is more feasible. 3 words are borderline, and anything more should have a really special reason but I suggest against it. Unless it is extremely memorable. Additionally, if this is your first domain name, I always advise people to buy their personal name. For example, in my case it's EranBucai.com. This is for the simple reason that you are your own brand. Your name is what makes you unique. Even if you think your name may be stupid, I want to remind you all the great brands and companies you know. These brand names were named by and after a person, who when they got started, were just like you. Here are some notable examples: Ford (automative) McDonalds (fast food) JP Morgan (banking) Hilton (hotels) Louis Vutton (fashion) And so many more. You can read more about this article from Wikepdia, "[List of companies named after people](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_named_after_people)". Why make a domain name easy to remember? Here's a short 45 seconds video that explains this perfectly. Example, I have a sales funnel for my "client acquisition" course. I bought a domain name which is "[FreeClients.Online](http://freeclients.online)". This is super easy to remember. And as soon as you type it in to Google, you'll be re-directed straight to my lead capture page. Other domain names I have bought: [SmoothCourses.com](http://smoothcourses.com/) = a website selling done-for-you services, where me and my team builds experts their online course or memberhip. This name is catch and tells you what this is about, i.e. "courses", and in some way infers about the goal, making the process smooth. [TellAnotherMother](http://tellanothermother.com/) = a website created to build a community of mothers, where we teach mothers how to make extra income by working from home thanks to the referral business of the internet. This name is catchy and calls out the target audience, i.e. "mothers", and in some way infers what it is about "telling other mothers about great products". Another reason to buy a domain name is if you want to have have a higher chance of being found on on the search engines like Google, Bing, and so on. For example, I promote a software called "Podia", which is a software company that lets you build online courses and memberships. Since people who are interested to learn more about Podia, may type to google the search term "Podia Review". So I bought the domain name, [PodiaReview.com](https://podiareview.com/). While there are other factors that go into getting a website on the first page of google, I knew that this domain name would be a good one for this reason. I also bought the domain name [PodiaReviews.com](https://podiareviews.com/) for the exact same reason and purpose. To wrap up this FAQ, I have a great explainer video from GoDaddy. I would like to note that even though I greatly appreciate GoDaddy's wonderful explainer video, I do not recommend buying products from GoDaddy. The company I recommend you buy a domain name from is called [SiteGround](https://link.eranbucai.com/SiteGround). With that said, here is the video from GoDaddy explaining how to choose a domain name: Transcript of the video below (*italicized*): *Welcome to “How to choose a great domain name.” Your domain name is a critical part of your online identity. As your unique internet address, it can help put you on the fast track to business success – or be a stumbling block to reaching your goals. So knowing what makes for a good domain name matters. For starters, keep it short and relevant to your business. A name that’s easy to spell and type is a bonus. For instance, if your business is cleaning windows, you’ll want your domain name to include the keywords “window” and “cleaning” or “clean”- because those are the words people will search when they need your service. Numbers, whether spelled out or as digits, and dashes can create confusion. Avoid forcing customers into mental gymnastics trying to recall your online address. The domain “bestwindowcleaning.com,” three short words, is way easier to remember and type than number1-windowcleaning-4u.com For local businesses, including your city, state, or region in your domain helps your customers find you faster. For example, seattlewindowcleaning.com is more targeted than bestwindowcleaning.com. Now for the extension…. that’s the part of the domain name following the dot. If you can get “.com,” go for it. It’s the most widely used extension, but it’s also been around so long that getting a short, memorable name that ends in .com can be a challenge. Other popular extensions include .net, .org., .info. and .biz. Plus, hundreds of fun new ones are now available, like .guru, .shop, .nyc, and .actor. These descriptive extensions allow you to perfectly represent your business and boost your brand. Speaking of your brand, you can protect and build it by purchasing misspelled versions of your domain name so customers who get it wrong are still ushered to your website. It’s also a good idea to purchase your domain with various extensions to prevent competitors from registering them. Finally, make haste. Domain names sell fast. But most are affordable, so get your favorite domain registered now before someone else beats you to it. Domain registrars, like GoDaddy, streamline the process of finding a good domain name because they know which names are and are not available and help with your search by suggesting relevant alternate domains when the one you want is already taken. *

Question 5

What is the internet and how does the internet work?

Accepted Answer

What is the internet and how it works can be taken for granted. I strongly advise, if you don't really know how it works, that you take time to watch an 8-part video series from code.org (each video is extremely high-quality, well presented, engaging, short, and to the point). When I first started online, I truly had no idea what things are. I found that series to be extremely helpful. There are all sorts of terms and names you are going to hear when you are going to buy a domain name, when you are setting up a website, and so on and unless you understand these terms you are going to get lost and overwhelmed. This series will answer a lot of terms like: HTTP, HTTPS, SSL, IP, DNS, and so on. Have you wondered how does a song play? How does a picture load on a website? How does font become bigger or small? How are you able to send and receive a text message across the ocean? All of this and more are answered in this 8-part video series. This is the first video, "what is the internet?" And to watch the rest of the series, [click on this link for the playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzdnOPI1iJNfMRZm5DDxco3UdsFegvuB7).

Question 7

What is Google Chrome Incognito and how to use it?

Accepted Answer

Question: What is Google Chrome Incognito and how to use it? Answer: Since none of your browsing history, cookies and site data, or information entered in forms are saved on your device, this means you can test any link, checkout page, affiliate link, and any page that you are creating in your website on this window as if you are a customer or a different person on the same device. The easiest way to open a chrome Incognito window is with the keyboard shortcut combination **Ctrl-Shift-N **(Windows) or **Command-Shift-N** (macOS). Another way is to click on the menu on the upper right – it's the three vertical dots – and select New Incognito Window from the list. NOTE: It is recommended to create an alternate email address for two reasons: * You can test things signing up to pages you created on your own. * You can signup to a newsletter and receive marketing emails that you can use as a guide to learn more and improve your emails in the future! I recommend opening a gmail account as follows: learning.yourname@gmail.com This is explained in more detail in my private membership training in the "Email Marketing 101" training which you can find in [DotComTruths.com](http://dotcomtruths.com/).

Question 9

What is web hosting? (website hosting)

Accepted Answer

Website hosting is simply where your website is housed. Just like a home is housed on a piece of land, a website is hosted (or housed) on computer servers of website hosting companies. Example of these companies are [GoDaddy](http://godaddy.com), [SiteGround](http://bit.ly/web_hosting_siteground), [Namecheap](http://bit.ly/Namecheap_Domain_Hosting), [HostGator](http://bit.ly/HostGator_link), [Domain](http://bit.ly/Domain_DotCom), and many more. To make your website visible on the Web, your website’s files and data must be physically stored on a computer that is connected to the Internet. These large, high-powered computers are called web servers. Website hosts are companies that physically house several web servers in one location, or what is sometimes referred to as a [data center](https://faq.eranbucai.com/faqs/what-is-a-data-center-data-centre). These companies host websites for us individuals and businesses. Some companies are so big, like Facebook, Google and Amazon that have their own hosting because they are so large. Here are a couple of videos from GoDaddy that provide a great explanation on what is Website hosting: Important note: While I greatly appreciate the wonderful video explainer from GoDaddy, they are not my recommend website hosting company. I recommend you buy your hosting from [SiteGround](https://link.eranbucai.com/SiteGround). Here is a transcript of the first video: *Website hosting. If you’re not sure what it is, this short video may help. To make your website visible on the Web, your site’s files and data must be physically stored on a computer that is connected to the Internet. These large, high-powered computers are called web servers. Companies that own web servers and lease out space on them are called website hosts. It is typical for website hosts to physically house multiple web servers in one secure location, that is commonly referred to as a data center. In addition to housing the web servers, website hosts provide the software, security, support, and bandwidth that connects your website to the Internet. To accommodate a wide variety of websites and customer needs, there are a variety of hosting solutions. Hosting solutions are broadly categorized based on the amount of server space you need for your website files, and the amount of bandwidth your site consumes. Bandwidth refers to the amount of data being transferred or the amount of resource usage your website requires. Beyond server space and bandwidth, there are other things to consider when selecting a hosting solution. Your budget, ease of use, product support, software requirements; the level of flexibility or customization the solution allows; as well as the availability of features such as privacy, security, marketing solutions, and more. * Here is a transcript of the second video: *Hi there! In this video, you’ll learn what hosting is and we’ll identify the four types of hosting available at GoDaddy. To make your website visible on the Web, your website’s files and data must be physically stored on a computer that is connected to the Internet. These large, high-powered computers are called web servers. Website hosts are companies that physically house several web servers in one location, or what is sometimes referred to as a data center. In addition to housing the web servers, website hosts provide the software, security, support, and bandwidth that connects your website to the Internet. Think of a website hosting company like a shopping center that contains several individual stores. If you want to open a store at the shopping center, you can lease space in it and set up shop. Just like a shopping center, website hosting companies enable you to lease space on their web servers where you can store your website files and make them available for visitors to view on the Internet. To accommodate a wide variety of websites and customer needs, there are a variety of hosting solutions. Hosting solutions are broadly categorized based on the amount of server space you need for your website files, and the monthly amount of bandwidth your site consumes. Bandwidth refers to the amount of data being transferred or the amount of resource usage your website requires. Consider your shop again; suppose you sell only handmade bracelets; you have a small, unique product offering, so you don’t need, nor want to, lease the same amount of space as a big department store. Instead, you could lease a small kiosk in the shopping center that gives you just enough space for your goods and costs far less money. Additionally, because you’re a small shop, you don’t need a lot of extra technology or staff to help you sell your product, like a department store requires. Between you and your mobile payment device, you have plenty of “bandwidth” to take care of your customers and don’t buy extra technology or hire more employees. Make sense? Beyond server space and bandwidth, there are other things to consider when selecting a hosting solution. Your budget, ease of use or complexity of solution; the level of flexibility or customization the solution allows; as well as privacy and security features.*
