Q: How do I manage passwords securely?

Question : How do I manage passwords securely? Answer : I mainly use a password manager/generator where I can store all of my password for different websites. The one I use is LastPass as it also has a Chrome extension that I can easily install in my Chrome browser. This is a must for security purposes. Though it has a free version, what I use is the basic plan and pay approx. $4/month (billed annually). If you are using the same password for everything, or easy to guess passwords, you are putting yourself at risk. LastPass helps you by generating new passwords and saving them for you. Here is a short segment from my chrome extension training video where I discuss about LastPass. How to add LastPass to Chrome: Go to the Chrome Web Store. Search "LastPass" in the search box. Select "LastPass: Free Password Manager." Click "Add to Chrome." Click "Add extension" in the pop-up confirmation window — you should get a confirmation message once it's been installed. If you have any struggles or have any feedback(good or bad) to this FAQ or any others, please let us know as they are always welcome.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

What is an EPP code?

Accepted Answer

It is a generated passcode required to transfer an Internet domain name between domain registrars.

Depending on your current host, you can access or request for this through the settings.

Note: As there are multiple web hosting companies, they'll have different ways so you may need to contact their respective support team to assist you on how to do it.

Here's a video you can watch to know more about this process:

Question 4

How do I host videos professionally? (not YouTube)

Accepted Answer

To start with, I want to answer the question of why would you even want professional video hosting?

Typically professional video hosting is applicable when you are setting up a membership site or an online course.

There are software tools that help you with course hosting or membership sites, and some of those provide video hosting along with the service. Example of this is a company like Podia that I personally use, and they provide unlimited video hosting, unlimited courses, and so on, for $39/month.

Another example of this is Kartra, which is an all in one platform for your website, sales funnels, membership site, email marketing and so on. However, this is a classic example of limitations in video hosting. Their cheapest plan is $99/month, but they have a limit of 50 videos total. Their next plan is $199/month, and allows you to have unlimited videos. So it is important to know the pricing and features of whatever software you end up choosing and list out what you actually need.

If you are going to go with a software product like Kartra or Podia, you probably don't need video hosting.

But let's assume you want to set up your website on WordPress or ClickFunnels or EranFunnels. You may want to consider having professional video hosting for your landing page, sales page, webinar page, etc. These services are all great, but the video hosting is simply not included (with the exception of EranFunnels, there's a solution I set up for this exact problem, more on that later).

Professional hosting has hard costs, i.e. the companies who provide this service pay for storage. YouTube is free become it monetizes from advertising, but other companies require paying a subscription. There are a number of companies that provide this service. To name a few along with small input from me about having used them:

Vimeo = Great choice is you want basic video hosting. There are not special features like branding colours for your video play. If you want to see what vimeo looks like, ClickFunnels uses that for their sales pages. Here is an example from the Dot Com Secrets sales page - the video you see there, that's vimeo video hosting.

Wistia = the best choice, but also the most expensive one, a completely over-priced option in fact. It costs $99/month on their smallest plan. It's simply not worth the price in my opinion. Wistia is in fact the company that Podia partnered with. If you pay to Wistia directly, $99/month you get 10 videos limit. If you pay Podia $39/month, you get Wistia video hosting quality for unlimited videos. Makes no sense, but that's why I'm saying there's no point paying Wistia directly. To see an example of Wistia quality video hosting, you can check out a preview of one of my courses.

VooPlayer / Spotlightr = this is a new player in the market but having used their service, it is a good option and a budget option. It was previously called VooPlayer and they either rebranded as Spotlightr or another company bought them - I'm not sure which. Either way, I personally did not like their pricing complexity, there are a lot of variables, and I found the admin office a bit difficult to navigate. However, this is a great option especially if you only want up to 5 videos hosted for example, as at the time of writing this, they have a free plan for up to 5 videos and 1GB limit total. If you want to just host a few videos, it's a good option. Like I said, I'm not a huge fan of their player, but it's a good budget option for professional video hosting.

Vidello = I saved the best for last. This is the one that I personally use. I pay $297/year. Their affiliate program is set up so that buy using an affiliate link, you actually get it cheaper ($22/month). I have a full video tutorial showing the software and the inside.

Since the paid plan let's you have 200 videos, you may not need that much. Because of that, I set up a solution with EranFunnels, so users of EranFunnels can buy video hosting from me directly (hosted by Vidello) for $12/year per video. Usually this makes sense if you only need 1-5 videos. Anything beyond that, you might as well go with the full Vidello plan yourself.

To summarize:

Option 1: Set up your entire tech set up with a company like Podia or Kartra and not have to worry about buying video hosting separately.

Question 5

What is ClickFunnels?

Accepted Answer

ClickFunnels is a sales funnel builder designed to help businesses automate their sale process from start to finish. It gives you the power to control every stage of the buying journey. This customer journey is called a sales funnel.

What is a sales funnel?

A Sales Funnel is simply a website that is designed to sell. Instead of the concept of a traditional website with "about me", "blog", things like that, a sales funnel is create with a standalone page called a "landing page" or opt-in page. That page basically offers you something of value in exchange your name / email / phone number.

The "something of value" is a free webinar, free training, free PDF or a "5 days building a brand challenge"

The rest of the steps of the funnel includes the automated emails you receive aonce you enter your email address, or the text reminders.

Or a sales page to buy something, and then another bupage to buy something else. All of that is a piece of what is called a "sales funnel"

ClickFunnels is simply a software that lets you as the marketer piece this entire process together.

With ClickFunnels, you can create regular websites, landing pages, opt-in pages, squeeze pages, membership sites, and webinars, among other things. And it makes it easy for anyone of any tech skill level to create sales funnels with a variety of pre-designed, highly customizable funnels available.

Often entrepreneurs and businesses use ClickFunnels to sell and promote products or services online. Others use it to supercharge their lead generation campaigns for their businesses.

Part of the reason ClickFunnels became so popular in this online marketing boom is that it offers an all-in-one marketing solution.

So, how does ClickFunnels work?

Say, you have a product or service to sell or promote. It could be a book, course, software, coaching consulting , webinar, or anything.

The first step is to create a landing page for that product or service. This landing page could be opt-in form to capture the email addresses of your prospects.

Once you have designed a good landing page, you need a sales page selling your product or service. It's important that you know the pain points of your prospects so it would become easier to position your product or service as a solution.

ClickFunnels offers two main pricing levels: $97/month for the ClickFunnels software, or $297/month for the Etison Suite, which includes ClickFunnels, Actionetics, and Backpack.

ClickFunnels comes with three pricing plans The lowest ClickFunnels pricing plan costs $97/month, the other and the most popular ClickFunnels pricing plan is called Platinum costing $297/month , and the most expensive pricing plan is ClickFunnels Collective which costs $1,497/month The main differences between the plans are the number of landing pages, custom domains, and other features allocated per month.

Here are a couple of videos that explain what is a sales funnel and what is ClickFunnels in relation to that.

Question 6

What is ConvertKit?

Accepted Answer

Convertkit is an email marketing software (or an email service provider) that is specifically built around the needs of bloggers, writers, podcasters, course creators, YouTubers, content creators and others who are working to build an audience.

The platform helps you to increase your email subscriber list and automate email marketing with drag-n-drop email sequences, workflow automation rules, landing page templates, custom opt-in forms, and more.

It has all the basic functionality you expect from an email marketing software.

Autoresponders (email sequences)

It has segmentation options so you have multiple lists and trigger different responses based on people's engagement with your email.

I have personally used ConvertKit and it is a great software to use. I have been on their free plan, and that's mainly what I use (limit of 1000 subscribers). I am not a paying subscriber.

I did a video review on ConvertKit showing you the inside. You can check it out here.

Question 7

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 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 too, with a simple copy and paste.
