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 3

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 4

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.

Download some free resources to help you with your website on this page:

[https://www.websitediycourse.com/](https://www.websitediycourse.com/)

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.

Systeme.io is an all in one business software for your online business.

Systeme.io has email marketing features including up to 5000 contacts on their lowest plan of $27/month

Systeme.io has funnels, including landing page, sales page, order pages, upsells, downsells, etc.

Systeme.io has membership sites / courses (basically the same thing in systeme.io)

systeme.io has the functionality to create blogs.

systeme.io has a deadline funnel feature (huge plus!) which I've not seen any other funnel software having that in-built.

systeme.io has an evergreen webinar features.

Systeme.io lets you sell your products and services online using all the above features.

What is missing/lacking from systeme.io? at the time of uploading this video, there is no live feature (you still need Zoom), there is no calendar (you still need Keap or Calendly), there is no community feature (you still need Facebook group, Circle or Mighty Networks), systeme.io does not have a live webinar feature you'll still need StreamYard or Zoom or EverWebinar.

But besides these, systeme.io literally has everything you need to start and grow an online business.

Question 5

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.

Question 8

How do you set up a home page using your custom domain with systeme.io?

Accepted Answer

How to set a custom domain as a home page in systeme.io (step-by-step)

This tutorial will show you how.

Here's the problem:

When you connect a domain name, like https://www.websitediycourse.com/, there is no automatic home page for you to edit.

You need that domain name to be a home page, a page on your website.

When you first connect your domain name, and you type that domain name, you end up with an error page (as shown in this tutorial).

You need to SET A HOME PAGE when you're creating your first funnel.

Once you set the home page (as shown in the tutorial) you'll have a little picture of a house on the custom domains page.

Note that the login page is also in the custom domain section of the website too.

All is explained in this systeme.io tutorial.

Question 10

How do you sign up to Amazon affiliate program?

Accepted Answer

How to sign up to Amazon Affiliate Program?

This short video will tell you.

Go to Amazon.com, scroll all the way to the bottom and click "become an affiliate".

Make sure you use your custom email address, not your gmail!

i.e. instead of eranbucai@gmail.com, use contact@eranbucai.com (as an example - create your own custom domain!)

If don't have a domain name or email account, I'm happy to share recommendations:

If you're in Australia, use a company called Ventraip: https://link.eranbucai.com/AussieDomainsHosting...

If you're outside of Australia, use a company called Brixly: https://brixly.uk/

Or SiteGround:

https://link.eranbucai.com/SiteGround

Either way, make sure you create it before signing up to the Amazon Associates Program (Amazon Affiliate Program, same thing).

While I don't recommend you rely on affiliate marketing from Amazon, it's still a simple extra income stream that can help.

There's definitely SOMETHING on Amazon that you can share with your audience to purchase.

Oh, another tip. Never email an Amazon Affiliate link, it's against their terms and conditions last I checked and you risk getting your account closed too.

Write blogs or have links on your website to Amazon.

And make sure there is an affiliate disclosures too.

If you need an affiliate disclosure, check out my "Website Legal Policies" video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy6J6nGDhj0&t=0s

And visit this link to get help with getting these legal policies and disclaimers done: https://www.websitepolicies.com/?in=253.
