Rod,

I just referred someone to your post.  This is possibly one of the best and most helpful posts to ever appear on the APS Forum.

Thanks.

Brett

Rod,

I continue to b e amazed at your spirit of cooperation and team building!  I knew you haf built a Super thread, but with our business constantly changing and perhaps some substantive inputs that might make it even better... I was just a little bit concerned. 

Quite clearly, I recognized this would be a 'living and breathing' document that really needed to be managed.  It would take a true SuperStar effort to handle this.  Otherwise, our entire community would suffer if we had links to this thread.

You've exceeded my expectations!  I no longer have any doubt in the management of this critical thread.  Please, understand, my caution did not reside in you, it was founded solely on this huge responsibility you have assumed. 

If I were Tissa, I would do this.  I'd free you of all other posts.  I would base your continued Super Sponsorship solely on managing this thread!  Period dot!  If you make other posts fine!  If you have time.  But, this thread needs to be managed.  That's just my opinion.  I'd like to know how others feel.

I don't like going back and checking my sources.  That's additional work.  If I can trust a source, I'll rely on that source.  Your documentation is amazing.  So, let me put this another way.  My primary website is a website about APS.  I've basically structured it consistent with the 3-Steps, then beyond.  I'd like to keep that structure.  I would like to substantive posts that support what I am saying.  Your thread allows me to do that.  If you go away, or develop other priorities for your own personal business, my site suffers.

You provide the documentation services that we all need... to add and build content on our websites.  That is an extremely valuable service.  That's why I'm recommending that you are simply held to managing this thread. 

Thanks for the Voodoo that You Do!

Rick

This a Great Thread...I will refer this Thread to any New Bie to APS.

Hi Skylab

Welcome here at the forum

Do you prefer another hosting other than GDI? Only GDI, Hostgator and Lunarpages are the allowed hosting for step 2. If your preferred hosting is either Hostgator or Lunarpages and you want to change your GDI hosting, do this:

On your APS back office, click on the step 2 box and check on the box at the left side of your GDI domain, then click on the delete button. Now PM Trish here and submit to her your new hosting info if that happens to be hostgator or lunarpages.

Regards

Rod

Hi Kelli,

Welcome aboard. Yes, the Super Sponsor Program is a great benefit. Just take your time by learning the various features of the APS business. And then share that knowledge with others. People who become Super Sponsors become one by not even seeking the position out. It just happens as a consequence of their willingness to genuinely help others succeed. It's what Tissa calls "paying it forward". People succeed in life and business by helping others to do the same. Again, welcome. Hope to see you a lot here on the forum.

Hi owak,

How are you? Sorry if your question is left unnoticed and unanswered. I apologize.

And sorry again but is this what you mean - that everytime you register at hostgator, your subscription with them thru your paypal account is always rejected? If that is so, do you have a verified paypal account and is your paypal have a funding source in order for your payment or subscription to go through? Whenever you make a subscription especially if its a recurring subscription, paypal requires you to have an attached credit/debit card or a bank account where the payment will be drawn when its due.

If i dont get your question right, please repost and kindly make it clear.

Thanks owak. Again sorry for the delay in reply. And Welcome to the forum

Regards

Rod

Hi t1500

Great question!

You are not required to subscribed to two hosting for your APS engine. But since you have already subscribed for a Hostgator hosting and you want to earn residual income from GDI, it will cost you 2 hosting accounts subscriptions. In order to earn GDI Residual Income, you have to subscribed for a domain name which includes hosting. If GDI will be the hosting that you use for your step 2, you dont have to subscribed to Hostgator hosting. To earn from hostgator income streams, you only need to signup as an affiliate which is for free. But you must complete your step 3 in order to unlock Hostgator income stream for you to earn. Also, it unlocks GDI, GVO, APS Referral Fees, Jeremy Shoemaker, Wealthy Affiliate and AffilloRaMa. Just dont forget to enter your affiliate IDs for the income streams that you have joined. To do this, login to your APS back office, click on Account Setting drop down menu, select Add/Edit IDs and enter your IDs on the appropriate income streams boxes and click Update IDs button below.

If you have susbcribed to GDI, you can switch your step 2 hosting from Hostgator to GDI. And you don't have to subscribed again for a hostgator hosting. Only, hostgator allows you for a multiple subdomain and you can also host a WordPress Blog which is most often preferred due to its cool features.

Most of your referral links are hosted under Acme domain. Its only the Pre-Sell Page that is hosted on your own domain as it is not allowed to be promoted via PPC. The Presell Page is the most preferred referral link due to its high conversion rate.

If you have other questions you can post a new topic by selecting the proper forum on the Index Page and click post new topic. In this way, your question easily get notice by members and you get quick replies

Regards

Rod

I have signed up with Hostgator to host my people search engine and also signed up for their affiliate program. I also want to sign up with GDI so that I earn income from their affiliate program.  I'm not sure I understand the reason for signing up with 2 website hosts though.  GDI during the signup process ask for you to chose a domain name.  Why do I need another domain name?  Should that domain name be used for the ACME referral link for my account.  HELP!

HI ROD,

im a new here.. im already done step 2.. i wish u can help me to earn a lot on this.. and im hoping that there is no any other fee to step3..just read ur post.. and its very unbelievable. u r my kababayan..
thanks.. more power and godbless..

Owak2006,

I hope you have resolved your issue with HostGator by now.

Otherwise, I would just like to share that HostGator also cancelled my account and refunded my payment to Paypal because i wasn't able to submit or forward to them required documentation.  Perhaps this is your case.

As I am a non-US resident, they require that a submit electronically or by snail mail a photo ID issued by the government confirming my name, place of residence, etc.  It is a requirement as an anti-fraud measure.

Once I fulfilled that requirement, i successfully opened an account with them.

Hope that helps you,

Eden

I agree with Rick 100%.  Is Tissa open to this recommendation?

Hi Eden,

This really confuses me because i am also a Non US resident but was not required to submit any documentations. I have received PM's from a few members regarding this matter but I was never able to give a solid answer, because this documentation proof is required also for some US residents. I am not sure when or why it these documentations are required but from what I read submitting this documentations will get your  account approved.

Also I have one question were you paying via Paypal or CC?

Really? I guess it's probably either at random or perhaps they have flagged some areas wherein in you come from a certain geographic region, they will require documentation.  But now, that you have brought it up - I'm not so sure. It's just my theory.

Also, I did not realize they cancelled my first account until 2 days after with a refund. But after complying with their verification requirements, they asked me to open a new account.

I paid via PayPal by the way.  What do you think of my theory?

Eden

hi trop4o,

There is no such thing as a dumb question.  it is much to better to ask and learn than to just keep silent and stay ignorant.

I'm sorry but I don't exactly understand what "text above" you are referring to.

To answer your question, Affilorama is one of the income streams available to you as an affiliate if and when you are subscribed to step 3.  It is free but with a paid premium membership.  the paid option is completely OPTIONAL. It has valuable training tools, which we would recommend you spend some time going over so that you get a grasp on how exactly we can maximize our opportunities to earn. 

The link is in your back office, so please do take the time to check it out.  You will certainly benefit from it.
