Your best bet is to use something like Whoisguard which is <a html="http://www.namecheap.com/learn/privacy-protection/free-whoisguard-promo.asp#freewhoisguard" rel="nofollow">FREE with domain transfer</a>. If assholes don't know who you are, it makes it harded to steal the domain. Absolutely Jerry! Your best bet is to use something like Whoisguard which is FREE with domain transfer.

Oh, and the word FUCKING is allowed on my blogs. No need for political correctness. Aloha, Jason I like that acronym: DSFW!

And thanks for the email! Sadly, I think the problem is a basic one , rooted in why lots of people buy things like 4HWW and $97 ebooks on how to "Get Rich Quick". The problem is the sales side says to the person "Buy me and you'll get rich fast", whereas the content (which in my experience is often fairly good) is actually telling you "Learn marketing, learn content creation, learn product creation, and then do it over and over again until you get there." Sadly, as I said, involves actually DSFW (Doing Some F$^@ing Work), which most people don't want to do. No worries. And thanks for the email!

If every marketer followed what you wrote so succinctly, there would be many more people living the Internet Lifestyle! Starting an Internet-based business will cost you: time, money or both. Once it is self-sustaining, then the profits allow you to outsource the crap you hate or aren't any good at. Until then it is working weekends and nights to make things happen. It's sweat equity.

The problem people face is the one that most entrepreneurs face when starting a business." However, I completely disagree as to his reasons why. I think the real reason is threefold: 1. The Wrong Plan. "I'll set up a site, and buy some adwords, and I'll make a million pounds!" 2. The Wrong Mindset. "I know everything there is to know about internet marketing. I'm a friggin genius!" 3. The Wrong Goals. "I'll drive traffic to my site and people will buy!" The 'right' versions, to my mind, would be: 1. I'll set up a site, with multiple landing pages, and test a little using AdWords to refine it, then slowly scale the traffic testing different methods and how they respond, so I get the best conversion rates possible. 2. I know a little about marketing. Therefore I'm going to apply what I know, whilst simultaneously getting the advice and thoughts of other marketers who're more experienced. 3. I'll drive traffic, test it, track it, build an email list, get people coming back to the site, build credibility with my audience, and then sell more great products on the back end, whilst always providing great customer service and never selling anything that isn't awesome. Weirdly, the second one works better. But it actually takes time and effort. And yet people still shirk the work and wonder why they make no money. Odd.
