Frequently Asked Questions
By Michael Hobach
1. Is this for “newbie” or “experienced” Real Estate Investor?
The VREI Template package is perfect for persons of all experience and skill levels. While basic webmastering skills are a plus (uploading files, loading autoresponders, etc.) they aren’t required as training materials will be provided to help anyone who needs assistance in basic setup steps.
2. Are there any “hidden costs” in addition to my membership fees?
You will need to register a domain ($8.99+/year), obtain hosting ($5.00+/month), and have access to a software program or tool to edit webpages (Free+). Additionally, any budget you want to allot for promotion is at your discretion. (I’ll recommend both free and paid methods of marketing … emphasis on FREE!) As you can see, this is an incredibly affordable business model.
3. Will I need a separate hosting account for each of the sites that I want to create?
No actually we will suggest several hosting providers who allow multiple web sites using a single hosting account. Using a hosting provider who has cPanel access (your control panel) will allow you to add new web sites easily - most providers will allow you to ‘park’ multiple domains - it is important to choose an account that will allow this.
4. Will I have to do any web design to get my site up and running?
No - actually included with the program is everything that you need to get a new site up and running. We are even including the content and forms. You will need to input personal information through a web page interface, but that is a simple process.
5. Does my purchase include personal coaching?
Unfortunately, the answer is “no”. While I will always be available to handle support requests (I.E. I can’t download, etc) I simply don’t have the time to personally coach this many customers. Even if every customer just asked ONE question (even a simple question) it would be impossible to handle all of the requests.
6. I can produce a site like this in a matter of minutes with tools that I already have. What makes what you are doing so special?
Simply explained, we have implimented technology in a very easy to use blogging site to get you listed quickly with search engines. We also have developed an easy way to keep you in the top of the ‘Organic’ search results of these search engines which means that you will be paying a lot less for your advertising online.
7. I already have a web site hosted with Yahoo - can I set this up there?
Actually Yahoo’s hosting will not work for what we teach. You have to realize that we are teaching how to setup a specific kind of web site and that you must have the ability to add and modify things that a proprietary solution like Yahoo will not support.
8. What specifically are the requirements for this to work with ‘any’ hosting provider?
You will need to have an account that uses cPanel, which is the server’s Control Panel. You will need FTP access to upload widgets and plugins to the server. You will need to have PHP support, and MySQL databases. It is also preferred that Fantastico be available to make it easier to install our software initially.
You will also need to have support for multiple domain names as ‘parked domains’ - this may be indicated by some other terminology so talk to your host provider. I suggest REI Pro Sites as they are wholy owned by Blue Eye Group LLC - http://REIproSites.com
