5 Parked domains & 2 subdomains are both marketing lies. They are selling snake oil. It is like when GoDaddy charges people $40 per year to make your website visible on search engines (They can’t legally do that). Anyways, BlueHost does not actually give you 5 domain names that re-direct to your main domain name, like it sounds. You need to purchase all five domain names and they “allow you” to redirect them. If you are interested in purchasing multiple domains to all point to one website, purchase in bulk at NameCheap.com 5 E-mail accounts. This actually is a deal because each other hosting provider charges $3-$5 PER MONTH. PER USER for this. 5 Parked domains & 2 subdomains are both marketing lies. They are selling snake oil.

www.AdiStarr.com @AdiNinjaStarr If you have a domain registered elsewhere, you will need to re-purchase it here. So it is cheaper to re-direct the domain name to your new domain here. www.AdiStarr.com @AdiNinjaStarr

Site Backup Pro – you can backup your website manually to your computer or cloud drive yourself, or purchase this to have BlueHost do it for you. “Search Engine JumpStart” – this is snake oil, don’t purchase it (if you want to know why, Shoot me a message via the “contact” page on my website).

www.AdiStarr.com @AdiNinjaStarr These themes are again claiming to sell you something that is not unique, as if it is. Drag & Drop Page Builder – every theme using the visual baker plugin offers this Ecommerce ready – every theme using WooCommerce offers this feature Fully Responsive – 98% of website templates invented today are fully responsive Customize Everything – that’s what WordPress is  100% customizable. www.AdiStarr.com @AdiNinjaStarr

www.AdiStarr.com @AdiNinjaStarr Option 1 – type in Total theme, that’s the one I use & I’ll explain why in later slides. Option 2 – type in your profession to see the most popular themes for your industry. www.AdiStarr.com @AdiNinjaStarr

www.AdiStarr.com @AdiNinjaStarr This is the best theme, because: Once you purchase the theme you can upload it to as many of your websites as you wish (Mojo themes can only beused for the website you purchased through BlueHost) 2. This theme has everything you need to design every type of website. If it doesn’t have a feature you need, there’s a 98% chance it will be compatible with the plugin you need for that feature. 3. Each theme has a different author and therefore takes a bit of time to figure out. If you select one theme that works for a bunch of different websites, it will save you a lot of time in the long run. If you choose a custom theme for each website you build, you will need to allow yourself 2-3 days to learn each new theme. www.AdiStarr.com @AdiNinjaStarr
