HostGator Website Builder

welcome to welcome you to the video here where I’m gonna go through my website a little bit so that way you can get a better idea what to expect and stuff in there there’s all kinds of good tools and stuff and information on the blog that’s going to help you you know get started get started you know getting online getting your head right getting your mindset straightened up so that way you can accomplish getting your time back in life and also
monetizing using the Internet there’s a lot of different ways that you can monetize using the internet millions of different ways so don’t get too confused when you actually first start out online that’s the very first thing that you’re gonna have problems with guaranteed you’re going to want to do this then you’re gonna want to do that and then this and that and there’s a lot of different ways to go about doing it okay and most of my websites
based upon based for beginners newbies that kind of stuff so that way you know people that are already out there that are already making money that are already happy with what it is that they’re doing online this website may not apply to you as much just because you know this is this is tailored to beginners and the reason why I like to teach beginners is because there’s so much potential out there nowadays with the technology and stuff that the
tools and stuff that you can get compared to ten years ago it’s not even funny so I want to show you my website so that way you get an idea tell you what we’re talking about here so let me bring it over here and this is the actual homepage okay so there’s me right there this is a website that I went ahead and set up using Hostgator website builder and we’re going to go through that here in a minute so that way you have an idea as far as what it
what it can do and that kind of thing but it’s very important when you first start this journey to make sure that you get your head focused in and straightened up if you’re unhappy with where you’re at what you need to do is you need to focus in on where you need to be okay how to get there you know it is going to take a lot of time energy and effort no matter which direction you go but nonetheless pursuing something online is somewhat of a best
of both worlds type of thing okay it allows you multiple different things beyond belief you know back in the 1900s obviously you didn’t have a whole lot of options to do much of anything so anyway I don’t want to get off-track here I could probably talk for me in years so anyway here’s the website okay this was absolutely nothing when I first started just zero and the reason why I went with the mountain themes and stuff like that is because in my
opinion the mountains and the serenity their complete serenity there’s there’s all complete natural there’s nothing chaotic about it it’s all mother nature it’s peace you’re allowed to think you know there’s there’s nothing there’s not car horns there’s not traffic there’s not jackhammers there’s not trucks going by there’s not all these other different things distracting you law enforcement officers rules and laws and just all the things that a
modern society has created and of course a modern society has been modern for well over a hundred years and everything so and even back in the 1500s is still pretty chaotic and stuffy when you’re living in the city I’m not much of big into living in the city even though I do live in the city currently right now but anyway so I figure that if I put mountains on my website that will allow you to understand me a little bit better and also so that
way you know it presents a atmosphere that’s you know absolutely out of this world okay so anyways this here was created all by me and everything this year this icon or this display here was done by me this is a this is my actually logo okay that was created by me and if you look up here see where it says quit slaving away for nothing let me teach you something better this is you can change the the this is called a favicon this one here is the
title to the page which you can change in Hostgator in website builder that’s why it’s so easy to use anybody can actually use it it’s wonderful so you know mastering comments to created one specific reason to help in every day average person learn growing master making money online and that says it all pretty much my goal is to show you different things different tools stuff like that to allow you to go from anywhere where you’re at in life it
doesn’t matter where you’re at okay wherever you currently are to where you want to be you know a long time ago let’s just give it say 30 years we have 30 years there’s a decent amount of time and stuff like that or even 20 years your options were a lot slimmer I got a fireball on my mouth sorry here so the the options were a lot slimmer a while back is what I’m saying so you didn’t have the same kind of opportunities like you do now with you
know I mean the tools online and the technology and the way it’s growing and part of the problem is there’s a huge gap between the technology and staying current with technology and not staying current with technology and it used to be pretty hand in hand where technology and mechanical machines in society were we’re fairly close together as the latter went up now technology cuz has set itself quite far from some of that kind of stuff so you
either have to buy into all the technology and be with all the technology or you’re pretty much down here you know you don’t really have them the middle ground for instance GPS satellite systems right that they use for grading and excavation on job sites for one okay for two things such as you know AutoCAD and those two the very expensive programs and then of course you have all the other different technological advances that you don’t have to
have like you don’t have to have a refrigerator that has you know you know Wi-Fi built in it and that kind of stuff but anyways there there is a huge difference between the two as far as staying up with the current stuff because it’s the you know like whatever is more currents probably going to be a little bit better and faster has more technology with it so it’s probably gonna help you along the way so to speak so anyways back to the website
thing here so you know I basically you know love the mountains and I think that everyone should experience being up in the mountains so that way you can clear your head think straight and come up with ideas that are just absolutely wonderful now I don’t have any ads on this website as of yet I don’t know if I ever will but I don’t plan on putting ads on here because you know I don’t like a clutter junky website with ads all over the place they
really have nothing to do with you know anything that you have of interest I don’t like when people are trying to oversell me stuff by bombarding me with tons of stuff okay and here are some of my blog posts and stuff like that down here of course the disclaimer you have to have a disclaimer when you make a website and you put your like affiliate links and stuff like that or you feel affiliated with other companies you have to have a disclosure
as with this disclosure notice what it does because it basically clears you saying that you know there’s no guarantees that you’re gonna earn anything there’s no guarantees for anything really so you’re basically on your own I’m not claiming anything it says well I’ll read it to you this website contains affiliate links which I we get paid commissions for any link you might click on could result in I we getting payment from a source of which the
link originates FTC guidelines of course there’s going to be that still some red tape require anybody participated in online marketing activity disclose the behind-the-scenes links and affiliates now that you have read the red tape don’t forget to click some of the links so basically with that’s another good thing about building a website that you really need to take into consideration okay is when you build a website there’s not a whole lot of
red tape you can’t steal other people’s work and materials and stuff down to the T where you’re copying their you know images you can see all these images here I created from a place called canva and some other different stuff I’ll probably go into a different video on the different things that I’ve used to create this website but anyways these are just created you know real quick so that way it represents my brand it also represents myself and
gives you something cool to look at you know when you’re actually reading the blog so that’s the reason why I have these here but anyways there’s not a whole lot of red tape when it comes to online stuff as long as you’re not you know doing something as far as copyright infringement or you’re stealing other people’s stuff okay and one of the things I’m gonna actually go to the blog up here first here well actually let’s go to about here that way
it gives you kind of an idea you know who I am and that kind of thing so basically long story short I actually worked in the computer field for 14 years started off back in 97 and went to college reading Regis University in Denver and then got certifications Microsoft Certified systems engineer and several other different ones a plus network plus CCNE all kinds of other different certifications throughout the years of stuff to stay current with
my work but what I ended up finding is that you know there were some individuals out there that were the the information technology officer of the company or whatever but those positions don’t open up very often most people that are systems administrators or network engineers that kind of stuff they make you know maybe 80 90 thousand a year maybe some of them maybe 125 year depending on where you’re at and what you’re doing but if you really take
that into consideration if you have a family or a halfway decent house or whatever it’s not a whole lot of money and the problem was was I still was not making I wasn’t happy with where I was because every time I went to one company I did everything throughout the years and stuff like that and I just wasn’t happy you know doing that kind of work and not getting paid the kind of money that I deserve right I mean that’s pretty typical for most
people and basically what I ended up doing is I went ahead and quit that type of line of work and went into excavation bought some tractors and started doing that kind of thing you know I’m more of a power user I’m not really a designer or engineer because I want to get involved in too much technical stuff you know I want to use the Internet as a tool and you should too that’s the key and that is how success works okay is use stuff as tools and
you don’t necessarily have to be so technical and drill down to figure everything out down to a tee because then you’re going to be more on the technical side and what you want to be is more on the tool side you know how can this benefit me to get me where I want to go so anyways the excavation thing yeah you make great money and stuff but I want to be able to change my life in another direction by helping other people be successful online and
better themselves and better their life because the world the way it is nowadays the way I see it is so chaotic and out of shape it’s it’s it’s absolutely amazing the things that you see out there in the world and I think it’s just because the system has failed to allow us everybody works people that work ok work really hard and one of the things okay I had to step away for a second there anyways I’m back so anyways the the way you know you guys
probably work around the clock and so what we have is you know the society you know especially the United States and stuff where we’re just you know the people are working really hard but they’re not getting what they want you know they’re not getting the time that they want you know if we had a different schedule as far as time you know if you could if you only had to work say in the morning for three hours right and you can pick days where you
can rotate like well Tuesday you know I’m gonna work three hours in the morning on Friday I’m gonna work in the evening or whatever where you weren’t stuck to this exact time you got to be here at 8 o’clock and you have to leave here at 6 o’clock every day you know because we’re all we have a life you know we all have a life out there and we all want to do more things we want to enjoy life too I mean we’re not here to just work and then croak
right I mean that’s just ridiculous so anyways that’s the reason why I’m here and I’m this website out is to help people that are wanting to better themselves to move ahead to move forward and to get out of the situations to take control over their life it’s really important that you actually look into it and start focusing in on building your mindset and allowing yourself to learn and grow in a nature because if you have a business setup which
there’s a lot of people out there on the internet right now making a killing you know just a killing and you can do the same thing right and so what I want you guys to be thinking of is are you happy where you’re at right now you know are you happy sitting in traffic are you happy having to punch that clock you probably had done I didn’t know what like any of my bosses they were every time they started saying something I just you know what I’m
saying it’s just anyway it has a bit over my my liking so to speak and no matter how many suggestions you try to make or anything like that they just they don’t listen you know and then it’s your fault and there’s finger-pointing and politics and so it makes it really difficult to have to go through all that process and stuff like that and have a life and everything else so if that’s that whole system changed maybe it might be different but
unfortunately it is what it is right now and you know you you need to just take ownership and control over your life with what we have right that’s all we can do right we can’t change the whole world unfortunately we don’t have another world to change you know this world is set the way it is and I don’t know if we’d ever be able to change it you know because it’s once you get something set in motion sometimes you can’t change it it’s just the way
it is so anyway this here is set up by me everything on here was done by me and stuff like that okay so let’s head over to the blog next so I’ve got different posts on here for different things this one’s your freedom is at hand the reason you won’t be successful online that’s a good one to read this one here’s a really good read read tape let’s take a look at it okay now this red tape is let me put it this way when say say you wanted to start a
regular business I don’t know you wanted to get a say food truck or something right okay let’s just stick with that because there’s a million different things the food truck okay you want to have a food truck sounds simple right go find yourself like you know maybe a halfway decent shape you know food truck you know Chevy you know cabin chassis or whatever or GMC or Ford or whatever or any other company for that matter and so you go out and you
find one say maybe a 2007 model or something you know not too old not too no good shape and you pay I don’t know probably like 40 grand or something for it right that’s you know in pretty good shape where you can probably start going out making money so you find that you take out a loan so you’re already starting in dead right there now maybe you put 10 grand down or 15 grand down on it right say you have $20,000 and then you wanted to save a
little bit of money for operation of cost and stuff like that or you can take out a business loan you have to build a business plan go to a bank or investor take out the money and a different means so if you did it that way you’re just getting started then you have to meet all these compliances and rules and laws where it makes it really tough you can scrape by and probably you’ll make money right but to be spending a lot of money and there’s
gonna be a lot of headaches along the way because of the regulations and the laws and the rules well you can’t do this and you can’t do that and you have to do it this way and you have to do it that way and before you know it you might as well just stay at your job ain’t no sense in leaving because it’s just a big headache and so that’s what this this article here kind of or this blog post goes through and stuff because starting an online
business through a website is the best way unless you’re an inventor but that’s a whole nother story I don’t know if you’ve ever seen Shark Tank and how these guys get on the you know Shark Tank of the the show and they convinced the investors to invest money well the investors are gonna take 50 to 80 percent of whatever it is usually sometimes they’ll do 20% but not very often of your business and then they’ll invest a bunch of money and help
you grow it and that doesn’t happen all the time I mean they only take maybe 20% of of the people on the show and so if you do invent something you still have to have large amounts of capital to grow it you have to expand you have to hire more people you have to have more insurance you have to have more this and more that there isn’t anything better than being online I mean it’s just plain and simple you know host Gators motto is get a website
and get happy and I believe in that 100% because I’m telling you it has changed the way things are done if you think a certain way okay a lot of people use websites for work or to log in for work you know through their job or they throw in Amazon they buy stuff there’s another side to the internet that this for tools and usefulness and stuff like that and then there’s also another side to the web web that is for entrepreneurs okay and people that
want to break out of the the norm and accomplish things so it just depends on what side of the fence you want to be on you can be on either side it doesn’t make a difference because as long as you’re online either way it’s gonna be a lot better and there’s of course websites that incorporate you know brick motor style businesses with a website too as well but anyways to start off online you’re not going to have you know the only red tape you’re
gonna have is a you can’t copy other people’s material and post it on your website you can’t do that you know word for word post for post you know picture for picture that kind of stuff so you got to kind of create your own content number two you have to have a you have to have something that’s going to allow yourself the ability to think outside the box okay because with red tape if you start something else you’re just gonna you’re gonna be
asking for it there’s just very not there’s not much red tape out there when it comes to the online stuff you know you have a disclaimer you know as far as what you’re selling or whatever okay but anyways that’s that is this I would suggest going through this and reading this and that kind of stuff I go through talking about the 30-day cycle you know the 30-day cycle is based upon the banks and you know another thing you can look into is the
central bank okay that’s that’s a whole nother video I’m not even to get into the central bank and how it operates and the reason why it does the way the way it does things and how and stuff like that so anyways the the mindset that you need to instill for an online business you know is it’s the most important thing you need to invest in for number one and you know it until until they have until the feds jump in or until other companies jump in
laws and rules and say oh well you can’t say that and you can’t do this and you can’t type this and then that’s when the internet thing will take a dive because then if they start regulating what you can do online next then we’re all hosed because then there isn’t gonna be any escape for anybody you know cuz the red tape keeps you where you’re at it’s very difficult especially in a brick-and-mortar style business to try to get ahead because of
all the red tape because of the huge expenses and stuff to that it takes to to run and a brick-and-mortar stop business online yeah you’re gonna spend some money trust me but you’re not gonna spend not even a quarter of the amount that you would trying to start an offline natural regular brick-and-mortar business you know it whether it be you want to build a restaurant a bar a custom motorcycle shop a custom car shop you know food truck
landscaping company house building company computer software company whatever you’re going to need lots of people lots of insurance lots of expenses is just just gonna drive the exo absolutely crazy okay so that’s what I’m here I’m here to help show you guys that you know this is this is this is by far the best way to get rolling to get moving and to make things happen now if you’re looking at this video can you’re watching this and you’re
already well seasoned well you know then I guess this really doesn’t apply to you all that much because you’re already rolling and doing good I’m trying to help people that want to get out of the normal way and start something for themselves you know if you’re looking if you’re if you’re just out there and you’re looking for that that one thing that’s gonna help kick start you off this is the website to do this is me in this website we are here
to help you and that’s the case so you know it that’s what it really boils down to because if you’re if you’re just you know you have the potential and you know it and you have the drive inside and you want to get growing but just haven’t found that right thing and you’re just like man you know I can’t find this and I don’t know this and that well there you go this is your first opportunity okay cuz I’m not gonna be thrown in the towel anytime
soon on you guys okay I want you guys to be successful so anyways this is you know one of the posts that you should you know read I got a few other ones and stuff on here okay let’s see here promoting digitally freedom is at your hand you know the thing is is it is true you know if you want to be able to wake up you know kind of set your own schedule and progress you know in all my business you can go from a little bit to a lot to a whole lot
more to a whole lot more I mean it’s basically endless how much work you want to put in how much dedication do you want to put in you know if you had if you wanted to work ten hours a day at it and just hammer it out for a couple years you’d be you you would be so far beyond your time it wouldn’t even be funny I mean you anyway but really you don’t even have to put that amount of time in excuse me you don’t have to do anything to that extent okay
so anyhow now we’re going to go over to the tools section this is where I have some tools and I’m gonna just show you this one here for today K is Hostgator now I’ve been with Hostgator for probably 12 years probably longer than that yeah I’d say maybe 12 to 15 years I’ve been with him a long time and they have done a lot of growing and a lot of changes and they are awesome so let’s go ahead and click on this okay so in Hostgator here we click
get started I want to show you a few things here there we go now you got a domain name let’s let’s let’s search for domain I don’t know let’s say I see you mindset 101.com let’s see let’s see if this even well it’s unavailable so let’s try a different one let’s do mine said learning let’s try that one I was not available anyway you get the idea you’re just gonna have to play with us awhile you need to understand when you do make a domain name
most all of the single word domain names are probably gonna be taken you know like car truck van tree city whatever single word you’re double word most of those are taken to like cars and trucks that’s actually three but anyways you get what I’m saying if you do three or more especially for and there’s not as there’s not as many for word domains like mines mastering comm that’s three words right and I actually got lucky with it because if you
figure mastering comm why isn’t someone you know came up with that so if you brainstorm for a while you’re gonna find out that you can find a really good domain name you know and of course comms are the most common and those are usually the ones that are taken of course you can do online site dot store website dot tech whatever dot space right there you go there’s tons of these here are the the different domain extensions and stuff that you can
choose from you know Co me or biz info club net of course they’ve been using dotnet for a long time host anyway space so let’s go down the list here get rid of this fireball I won’t put another one in for the wall now we’re gonna look at choose a hosting plan okay the hatchling is about all you really need to get started you don’t need business because if you do business it’s gonna be more expensive and you don’t really need business for a while
I mean business is more like for people that are gonna be selling like stuff from Amazon or selling products or selling they need basically what it is is it’s gonna allow you to have a most choosing here to see if it changes anything mmm does it didn’t really say much but it doesn’t tell us that the difference here on this page okay so basically what the business plan is going to give you is you know check out you know a checkout cart you know
shopping card it’s gonna give you a merchant service and stuff like that okay so anyways I need really the hatchling I mean I think I might have the baby plan I think it’s the baby plan that I have which allows you to have more than one website and then of course you put your information in here and then if you want this stuff you know this here is pretty you you you do want this this is they actually give you the free SSL the first free SSL
which this is what it is it adds the S to the end of the HTTP which that gives you you know secure socket layer is what that is SSL and that allows you you know more security and plus more web sites are gonna actually check you out and that kind of thing if you have SSL it’s good idea most people run it nowadays this one here site lock mmm I don’t know if you if you know for a basic web site you probably don’t need this either because guess what
this is for like you know you have a lot of content where people can try to hack into our you’re doing credit card processing or whatever and stuff like that but on a site that really basically just has a blog and you know some affiliate links and stuff like that you really don’t need this now of course it’s highly recommended because you know why not write this it’s it’s it’s protection email if you wanted to do email you know you could do that
or you can just stick with your free email Google or whatever you can actually incorporate Gmail and stuff like that in there if you want to or any other kind of email system so and here’s your backup this here gives you I think more incremental backups your site still backed up with Hostgator it just won’t do incremental so I think they do it like once a day I believe I’d have to actually look into it let’s take a look at it well it doesn’t tell
us okay so anyways the if you wanted to do that you know you can do that I don’t have this because I mean it’s you know my websites just not big enough for it so I mean there’s no need to really and they and they have to be reliable enough obviously 99.9% uptime so chances if you actually have any problems or slim but the thing is they do backup your your information and your site and everything so you don’t have to worry about that it’s just
that is dumb I think once a day instead of every time you know you you log in and make a change so you could possibly lose whatever you did that day it is possible so that will be left up to you to decide and then of course we have Hostgator SEO tools which this is actually pretty cheap I would recommend this just because it’s already integrated to the platform so you can use it they’re tools that are in there right away so you don’t have to
worry about going to other places and you know Hostgator knows a few things about SEO so this this here might be war purchasing right here okay that one’s not too bad and then of course you’re looking at a discount of seventy six dollars and forty-one cents which is completely awesome so for a full year you’d be looking at thirty three dollars and five cents for twelve months that’s pretty good so anyways that is basically how you check out when
you want to use you know and sign up for hostgator if you already have a domain then you can transfer the domain over to Hostgator I guess you know one thing I do need to let you guys know about that I would not recommend doing if you do go to other web services such as like say Wix or possibly you have Wix WordPress right some other ones out there you can get those for free and you don’t have to pay anything but they do use the upper level
domain so guess what you’re gonna be WordPress you know slash whatever your website is so it’s not gonna look as good so you don’t want that you want to have your domain com right that or.net or whatever you want to use so I don’t recommend using you know these other website domain names you can buy you can buy into the WordPress stuff you know and stuff like that for hosting they charge you hosting and stuff and they give you the actual website
for free and and now I’m telling you WordPress is good I’m not down in WordPress at all it powers most everything online I the only reason why I didn’t use WordPress is because WordPress is fairly easy to use if you’re not trying to do anything real complicated I like using the website builder and builder and the blog tools that are inside that because it’s very easy to use very simple drag-and-drop drop click here click there it’s very simple
WordPress tends to be a little bit more advanced and definitely more technical so you have to keep that in mind when you’re doing that kind of stuff so anyways when you’re when you’re getting a website together you want to make sure okay that that’s one of the things to look at now let’s actually go back and take a look at let’s see if we can log in here and okay so we are actually in the control panel this is what it looks like when you first
log in okay there’s a couple of different places one place is going to be where you’re building and other things are located Kate so if you’ve got if you want to look at your actual billing and you know that sort of stuff then you’re gonna want to go to a different area this is the control panel okay this is where you build your website control all your technical stuff and that sort of thing it’s very very intuitive and it’s got a lot of
information in here now primarily all you need to worry about the website builder okay the website builder is the main stay if you want to say where you’ll be spending most of your time okay so we’re actually gonna go in there and take a look in here okay so now that we’re in here in the the the website builder area I’m gonna actually log in to my website to show you guys around here a little bit okay so all you got to do is you come over here
you can change the plan if you want let’s take a look at change plan okay we’ve got the basic website builder okay we’ve got professional which is what we got and then you got the business which I think this is kind of what you had on the signup page and stuff like that and this gives you the different one see I got unlimited pages I think that’s very important to have unlimited pages because if you don’t have unlimited pages then it’s gonna make
it difficult to try to grow your website so you need that if you want to start off here this is a good place to start trust me I did this for a while use it on other websites and stuff like that so this is this is definitely a good alternative game under professional website builder you know you get let’s see here Google Analytics analytics integration in unlimited pages so you know it bills at $13 a month which man $13 a month compared to a lot
of other different things out there it is nothing okay so anyways let’s go back log into the website so that way you can see what’s going on okay so in here is where let’s take a look at elements I want to show you in here these are all the different things that you can be adding to your website all over the place and changing stuff okay I’ll do a video on actually creating a website from scratch and I’ll show you guys how to do that that way you
guys know how you know it’ll take you some time to work your way around in here and figure out how all this stuff works and stuff but if I can give you guys a video on it I’ll just create some website and show you guys some basic information how to use these different elements and stuff like that so I don’t know let’s go ahead and look at you can put in a map you can put in live feeds from different places I don’t know let’s let’s take a look at
let’s put in a image okay we’ll just go to stock images we’ll go ahead select let’s say this one over here okay we’re going to just put this in right over here like this okay so with this image right here there’s all kinds of things that you can do with it this just it looks pretty good like like that right I mean was just sitting there so yeah it’s not bad but it’s kind of squared everything say we want to round this out put a border see how
this is shaded out and everything let’s let’s go ahead and try to change some stuff here we do this see what that does for us that makes it a whole lot different doesn’t it and that’s it that’s a it’s a wonderful tool to use right there okay now if we go ahead we can change the color let’s try this here see we can make it darker too if we wanted to do that which we don’t want to do that let’s go do more okay and let’s see here fit to frame a line
visibility background border-radius let’s do a small border say there we go see how we’re making we can even go extreme and make it completely round let’s do that we can do a drop shadow right a lot of my stuff on the website I have this shadow in the background you can go something big or you can just kind of go something light like that you know and now look at that just just by just by doing that that looks a ton better already and then you
can put text in here so let’s do that let’s add some text in there go to text and then we’re going to do a heading one you can change it though to whatever you want you can change it like right here this is this is where your options are you got a ton of fonts tons of fonts to choose from in here okay so let’s do just for this sakes let’s do that one oops okay and get rid of that and G down like that board over there we go let’s move this over a
little bit okay and then let’s take this oops let’s shrink it a little bit step 36 let’s try 20 that’s too small let’s do a 26 it’s probably getting off so basically you can see this is fairly simple right I mean anybody can do this this is exactly what I’m talking about this is the reason why it’s so easy to use website builder this is just one portion of what you can do with this it’s just it’s just absolutely wonderful now we’re gonna actually
change the color I don’t like the blue so let’s do I don’t know what color we want let’s try some kind of a little bit more like that color like that okay there BAM so if we look at that you know that’s not bad you know there’s a lot of other different things you can do with this you can rotate it you go over here to settings size and position let’s see here padding you can have animations and stuff with it you can do like if you want to change
the border width of course that’s for the whole website and everything I need to select this there we go all right advanced there we go now weird in that image so size and position let’s see here horizontal vertical border width say we can you know change that out to that kind of adjust that just a little bit and then we can blend that down even more if we want you see so it not only did the image you know the occupancy on the image but also the
border and everything else along with it too we’re going to put a little bit more glow on there just a little bit and then see if there may be possibly like an inner shadow you know if we want that so that’s just an image okay that’s that’s just an image that you guys can you know create and make and stuff like that so there’s a million different ways in here that you can do things that’s why I want you to get excited about this because this is
one of those things that it makes it so simple and easy to use it’s not even funny I mean this is just one little thing I mean there’s a million different there’s stuff on here I haven’t even put on here yet so I mean there’s just so many different things let’s just go through these buttons okay the different buttons and these all do these buttons do all kinds of different types of things too in here okay a contact form you name it you know

this here actually helps you with search engine engine optimization okay and this is stuff that you can go ahead and buy and it will it will literally help you get moving online plus there’s a lot of this out online obviously where you can go and find other SEO tools and stuff like that this one here though because it’s already integrated with Hostgator you know it’s easier to have things that are closer to home when you’re doing this if more
things are integrated and more things are together it just makes more sense now there’s other things that might be better or worse other places and this and that but overall you know we’re looking for for simplicity and ease of use okay so this wouldn’t be here if it was absolutely no good so you’re going to get some benefit to this either way it doesn’t make no difference and it’s not like you’re buying a car I mean you’re 50 dollars a year you

high on security which you know security nowadays is a good idea if you’re going high on the hog meaning that you’re gonna have a lot of action going on and people are gonna be targeting you which you know is a good thing you know if you’re doing millions of dollars a year I suggest you have every single sappy sub security software known to man out there installed you know if you’re making you know 100 200 grand a year off your website yeah it’s
not as important but it’s still important to have some of this stuff installed SSL is probably the very you know one thing that you’re going to need because he even hostgator does SS you know SSL here so that’s one thing you want to keep in mind just making sure you get SSL which is actually when you want to do SSL you will add it right here SSL Certificates so this if we click on SSL you can either click on it here or you can click on it under
website builder too as well there’s two different places that you can actually so a basic is going to be $35 a year or if you wanted to do something extreme which 256 dollars a year which ain’t nothing when it comes to this kind of stuff you know so you will have to spend some money online I mean there’s no questions about not everything’s gonna be for free and a lot of the free tools aren’t gonna be all that you know they’re good they’re not bad
but they ain’t gonna be killer so anyways this gives you an idea of what Hostgator can do for you and what it’s about so you know you really need to take that into consideration and realize the potential that you could have moving forward with stuff okay so if you’re not happy with where you’re at start a website and get happy right and ain’t no junk cuz once you get something rolling and going online the money will be coming in you’ll have time
on your hands and things will be good but easier said than done right because the thing is is you have to put the work in to do it so anyways that is going to be pretty much wrapping up for this video it’s nice and long and nice and lengthy it’s over an hour hope you’re not bored or you turn the video off by now not sure you probably did you know I don’t know if you’ve watched the whole thing or not because an hour I don’t want to waste your time
