Question 1

What is Ransomware?

Accepted Answer

Like a kidnapped person, the information on your computer can now be held hostage by criminals, who demand a ransom to release it. This is called a ransomware attack and, unfortunately, it’s a growing problem. This video explains ransomware. It teaches:

Why ransomware attacks happen
What actions can lead to an attack
How criminals access your computer and data
What criminals want in exchange for your data
What can be done to prevent ransomware attacks

Video Transcript:

Imagine a hostage situation. A criminal has kidnapped a person, tied them up and is now talking to the police. The kidnapper has a demand. He will trade the hostage for money.

This is called a ransom and it’s essentially a trade - the criminal wants payment for the freedom of the hostage. Today, this same idea can apply to our computers and devices.

Instead of kidnapping a person, criminals lock your computer, and demand a ransom from you to unlock it. This is called a Ransomware attack. Here’s how it usually works.

In order for a criminal to get access to your computer, you usually have to click on something like an email attachment or a link on a criminal website.

To encourage you to click attachments, criminals will try to make the email look official, or familiar, as if it came from a trustworthy source.

The attachment may look like a harmless document or photo. The same is true for websites with dangerous links. When when you click it, a program runs on your computer that locks your files and prevents you from accessing them.

Usually, a message appears on your screen that alerts you to the problem and includes instructions for solving it.

In most cases, the criminals demand a ransom to unlock the computer and require that payment is made in a way that is untraceable, like through Bitcoin. If payment is made, the criminals usually provide a code that can be used to unlocked the computer and files.

More sophisticated ransomware can also infect your computer through a network or by finding security holes that may not even require a click from you. Ransomware attacks are similar to other threats like viruses, worms and trojans.

Problems can be prevented by being a responsible computer user. Keep your operating system, browsers and applications up to date. And awareness is key. Only open attachments when you know the source and be suspicious of messages asking for privileges to access your computer. The criminals are sneaky.

Most antivirus programs can help you detect ransomware when it arrives and may be able to help you remove it. And finally, always keep a backup of your files on a hard drive or online service so you can recover if your computer remains locked.

Ransomware is a reality of using computers and the internet. With awareness and responsible computer practices, you can avoid problems and prevent your files from becoming hostages.

Question 2

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)

And so many more.

You can read more about this article from Wikepdia, "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.

Here are some examples of domain names I personally bought for my businesses:

EranFunnels.com = A simple combination of my name, Eran, and the word "Funnels". My freelance business that explains my process for helping people choose the best software for their online business, and then also helping them build their funnel 1-on-1.

CustomIntroVideos.com = A domain name for a side business where my team creates an custom branded introduction video for people's YouTube channel videos. Combination of the 3 words, Custom, Intro, and Videos.

WebsiteDIYCourse.com = A domain name for a sales funnel I wanted to create for my website building services. It starts off with a simple landing page to give a free gift in exchange for an email address and the follow up products to help someone DIY their website, such as my Website DIY courses. For example, my Systeme.io Website DIY course is found on WebsiteDIYcourse.com/systeme. This domain is based on the 3 words combination, "Website", "DIY" (a well known and easy to remember acronym), and "Course".

DogTrainerFunnels.com = This domain name is to serve a very specific niche of Dog Trainers. There are literally 10s of 1000s of dog trainers worldwide, and I discovered some time ago that a lot of them were looking to create an online course on New Zenler. And so, I created a sales funnel specifically to cater for that niche audience and created a Sales Page Template specifically for them and this is the capture page to bring them into my world. This domain name is a combination of "Dog", "Trainer" and "Funnels".

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. 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. 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 for the exact same reason and purpose.

Another thing to watch for when choosing a domain name, is seeing if the social media accounts are available. To do that, check the availability on a website called NameCheckr.com - I show how in this short Instagram video reel.

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. I'll give you my thoughts in this YouTube video.

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 7

How do you create a GIF online for free and use it inside an email?

Accepted Answer

How to create a GIF online for free and use it inside an email.

This is a question I received from a DCT (Dot Com Truths) tech support membership member.

They saw someone who sent them an email going through a quiz on their own store and then making a purchase after the quiz.

The whole thing was simply a GIF.

And so, this video will show you how to do exactly that.

Here are the steps to create a custom GIF online for free:

Step 1: Record a video of your choice. 1-2 minutes max.

Step 2: Convert the video to a GIF by uploading the video to a GIF creation software.

Step 3: Export the GIF to your computer.

Step 4: Upload the GIF as an image to your email as an image (in the case of the tutorial, I used Flodesk). https://link.eranbucai.com/Flodesk

There are so many use cases.

For example, I created a GIF on Canva which links to this very YouTube video so people click and come watch it.

You can search on Google "GIF creator free online" or "video to GIF free online" or "video convertor to GIF".

There are lots of free tools.

The one I showed on this tutorial is https://ezgif.com/video-to-gif

But you're welcome to explore others.

You can also export GIFs on Canva.

Question 8

How do you create a video lesson for your online course or membership (systeme.io tech tutorial)?

Accepted Answer

Creating a video lesson in systeme.io is really simple. But the best part, is you really only have to create the lesson ONCE, and then create a block that you re-use over and over... that's how I use a lot of time.

Here is the template I created for myself that you can install into your systeme.io account with ONE CLICK = https://systeme.io/user-block/share/1...

Creating a video lesson in systeme is required if you want to teach someone something through video tutorial or training.

You can host your videos directly on systeme.io or through YouTube.

I personally use both scenarios, depending on what I teach.

For example, this video you're seeing, that's in one of my courses but it's publicly available on YouTube.

There is nothing proprietary about it.

But it is a question that has come up in a Q&A during my Website Creation challenge, so I created a video to answer that in greater detail.

Sign up for Systeme using this link: [http://eranbucai.com/sio](http://eranbucai.com/sio)

Steps to creating a video lesson in systeme:

I usually delete the template that Systeme provides.

Once delete I drag a section, then a row, make it medium, add Text Headline, add Text, add a few bullets, put a video under, text element under that for the timestamps or call-to-action and sometimes a button with any downloadable resources of call-to-actions.

I make sure all the branding is accurate (font, colours, styling, etc) the way you want it and then save that as a section to use in future lessons so you don't have to go through that again.

All is explained and shown in detail in the video below.

Question 9

How can you connect a custom domain with systeme.io?

Accepted Answer

How to connect a custom domain with systeme.io, that's the topic of this short tutorial.

Systeme.io has the ability to build your website, and customize your own domain name.

This means that instead of eranbucai.systeme.io, you can have a domain like www.eranbucai.com.

To do that, you need to know how to connect your domain name, to Systeme.io which will do your hosting for you.

To connect the domain you need to change the DNS settings in your domain registrar and this might feel overwhelming for some especially if you've never done it before.

I'm hoping this step by step tutorial on how to connect your custom domain name with systeme.io will help you overcome that and get it set up.

I'm always available to be hired for a small fee to hop on a Zoom call and do it with you.
