Congratulations. You’ve Found the Special $27 Offer for Our Minicourse Students!

(Take advantage of it now, before the marketing department sends me off on vacation and deletes this page while I’m gone!)

On the Web in an Hour shows you how to create a complete website in minutes. It is a richly illustrated shortcut-by-shortcut blueprint that even a child could use to create a professional-looking site. Most people are paying $47 for our blueprint, and Marketing says they’re underpaying. We won’t keep the $47 price forever, but we’re new and trying to establish a reputation. You found this page, though, so don’t have to pay $47. At least if you’re smart enough to take advantage of this insane offer before it disappears into the bit bucket.

They say I’m idiotic to knock even $10 off the price to make it $37. But that’s not what I’m selling it for.

On this page and this page only, I’m selling On the Web in an Hour for a ridiculous $27!

How much would you pay a webmaster to build a complete site, one that you could update anytime yourself?

Lots of one-off programs and cheap webhost offers can generate a website quickly. The real question is what happens when you want to make a change to that site? Because it’s just not cool to be dependent on your webmaster to update the home page, or add a news item, or create a calendar entry. Not cool at all. With On the Web in an Hour, you learn all those things and much more:

• How to create highly professional, attractive, easy to navigate, robust website designed by some of the best in the world at no cost
• How to add a public event calendar to your site in minutes
• Ability to post news items (blog entries) and accept comments for each item, with antispam control
• The ability to add new web pages to your site, or edit existing ones, without ever having to call a webmaster.
• How to get a robot to send site backups every day to a free email account.
• Simple techniques to make it as easy as possible for others to find your site on the web (search engine optimization)
• Everything you need to know to add features not covered here simply by dropping in free building block-like plugins

Let me repeat: Not only do you learn how to create a website with astonishing speed, you will also be given the knowledge you need to make changes later. You’ll do this all with nothing more than a web browser, and you’ll pay nothing for the software used to build and maintain your site! And if you buy from this page, you’ll be able to do it for just $27!

Think of the freedom.

Would you like to throw together a website for your church, your service group, or a business idea you’ve been thinking about–and blast it out in mere minutes? Maybe you already have a few domain names ready but bought a book on HTML and fled in horror. Or maybe you had a website done, but then found out that having simple changes made would cost too much. So then you decided not to update your site when it would have been really nice to add a little news item.  It just got to be too much. You’ll never again have to worry about “bugging your webmaster” again because you will be your own webmaster, with zero specialized skills required. And maintaining these sites is so simple you can teach anyone to do it. My 11-year-old daughter learned all the basics of updating her site in well under an hour.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

In fact, you will have the freedom to do exactly the opposite. Did you know that if your website points an eBay user’s way to an auction and that user buys, you can get a cut? Same with Amazon. You can get 15% of anything a user buys on Amazon just by linking theme to it, as long as you’re the first to get them there. These are called affiliate programs. Which means that if you’re a model train enthusiast or vintage hockey memorabilia nut or fan of antique watches and include a link to an auction that a user buys from, you’ve just pocketed some decent change. This is called an affiliate program, and there are over 99,000 of them on the Web already. Why not turn your hobby or expertise into money by blasting out dozens of minisites in just a few hours each?

Doesn’t cost a lot to host websites?

At this point you’re probably wondering about something else. Aren’t websites expensive to host?  Absolutely not. On the Web in an Hour screen hundreds of hosting sites and came up with an incredible hosting deal from one of the biggest webhosts in the world. You’ll learn

• How to host unlimited (that really means about 30-50 active sites) websites for $10/month. Not each. $10, period. For all of them!
• Where to get domain names for $10 each
• How to create sites so that the web hosting company doesn’t end up owning them! (It’s a common pitfall)

This means that for $10/month, plus $10 per website name, you’ll be able build websites to your heart’s content. At long last, your business ideas will never again be limited by the ability to create websites for them.

What if Your Site Goes Down.. When You Least Expect It?

I’ve been under some serious deadlines recently. Getting On the Web in an Hour out the door is one of them. My wife is not happy that I took so long bringing the project together. Remember, I do have a day job. It’s going gangbusters, but I still have plenty to do. And one day, I tried a new plugin that wrecked one of my sites. For whatever reason, the plugin completely horked the home page. Shouldn’t happen. They aren’t related. But even after reinstalling the plugin, deactivating it when that didn’t work, deleting the plugin altogether, then finally sacrificing a goat while offering my firstborn son to dark forces, my site was still damaged.

I didn’t back up my site. And that didn’t matter a bit!

You know what? I didn’t care that when site got trashed. Because I used On the Web in an Hour to build it, and I had a  backup of the site in my Inbox. I just deleted the whole site (takes only a few econds), reinstalled it over the course of a few minutes, and used the backup that got mailed to me that morning. A backup I didn’t make.

Lots of plugins can be used to back up your site. But you have to be a database administrator to restore it. How pathetic is that?

The reason I didn’t back up my site is that I used On the Web in an Hour’s techniques to get a plugin that backs up the site every day (doesn’t have to be every day; you can change the interval to every week or month), compresses it so it’s a fraction of its normal size, and emails it to a free email account. That’s pretty cool. Now the backup is in the form of a MySQL database.

My $5,000 secret

I own a very successful website that I never had to market until the Crash of 2008. Suddenly, business dipped for the first time in its 8-year history and I had to do the unthinkable: go out and find customers, just like everyone else. The difference is, I had some resources to throw at the matter. So I signed up for the best internet marketing course I could find. By “best”, I mean it cost $5,000. And it was worth every cent. I learned a ton of awesome marketing techniques, and that wasn’t even why I was so happy. Because what I learned is that successful marketers never build their websites from scratch anymore. They use blogging software. In fact, this site was created using the very techniques you’ll learn in On the Web in an Hour. I got the whole site done in one day.

Wait a minute. Use blogging software to create a production website like this one? Huh?

So the $5,000 secret is that savvy internet marketers now create their websites using WordPress, the most popular blogging software almost exclusively. Why?

• WordPress blogs are catnip to search engines like Google.  With just a few simple secrets (revealed in guaranteed foolproof , shortcut-by-shortcut, fully illustrated instructions in On the Web in an Hour), you can do some serious search engine optimization. Search engines just love WordPress.
• With the right installation software (revealed in On the Web in an Hour) you can install a full site in literally just a few seconds, then uninstall it if need be.
• WordPress makes it easy for you to create articles and web pages. More important, it makes editing them just as easy.  How many times have you asked someone why they haven’t updated their web page, and they just give a resigned shrug, explaining that they can’t find their webmaster? You’ll never have that worry again.
• WordPress can be “skinned” with new themes. Themes let you change the appearance of a site dramatically with the click of a button. Here’s the amazing thing: Thousands of gorgeous themes are available free right now! Some of the best web designers in the world make their themes available at no cost, even for commercial use.
• WordPress has a Lego-like plugin solution for just about anything you need. Thousands of plugins are free. On the Web in an Hour shows you how to install plugins and shows you exactly how to make the best use of them.

Most plugins have terrible directions. (They’re free, after all, and programmers hate writing documentation.) On the Web in an Hour gives far more understanable, fully illustrated shortcut-by-shortcut instructions on how to get the most critical business functions handled by plugins: A public calendar, backing up your site automatically, restoring it, and preventing comment spam.

Dude flubs Marketing 101. Hello, McFly?

Here’s a rule no marketer ever breaks on sales pages like this: Don’t link away from the page. Keep people on the page reading your deathless marketing drivel. Links distract people and take away from sales. Well, screw that.Want to learn some of this for free? You don’t have to buy On the Web in an Hour. Feel free to visit theWordPress site to learn how to do these things. Don’t worry. I’ll wait. Because I know you’ll be back. That’s how confident I am that On the Web in an Hour is worth its risk-free price. See? I knew you’d be back! The WordPress documentation is, shall we say, extensive. It’s not too well organized. Because it’s pretty extensive I slog through it more often than I’d like, then distill it down to the 20% you need. With pictures. Lots of pictures, every step of the way.
