the ebay business is just something that I have in the pipeline after my online project is launched. I don't think i will need aspiring online mogul as for my email address. Its just a username here until I do not need to aspire to be a mogul.

I hope Richard has the facility to update usernames, as I will be changing it to multi millionaire mogul soon.

my hotmail account for my paypal

See anyone that isnt serious enough about their business to have a proper domain and use it for their email addy worries me a little.

not sure if aspiringmogulonline.com is still available, but at $9 it has to be worth investing in , you can then have aom@aspiringmogulonline.com , paypal@aspiringmogulonline.com etc etc..

It is also a good idea to have at least a couple of email addys in your paypal account.

Agree with that. A .com domain is less than a fiver, and well worth the small outlay.

If I ever have an idea for a website, or a project, I always buy the domain name - even if nothing comes of it.

I have already got the dotcom for the ebay business but it was just that I had set up a paypal account using the name of the site as well.

Eventually got the msn et al working. I am suprised that the previous muppet did not realise he was meant to be checking my settings. What a proffessional dim wit.


Thanks for all the advise again guys. I am now 3 days behind in my schedule. I bet uncle phil is gonna chuck a grenade up my rear now, lol

Too right I am. If you're working on a website, you can do some of it offline!

We both started talking about our new websites at roughly the same time I think, Richard. I've got mine online despite it still needing work (and lots of), and it's doing four figure uniques per day, while you're still in the starting blocks.

Get it online, and at least the search engines can start finding it while you perfect it.

Cheers once again mi ol uncle Phil

I started out with AOL, in 1997 I think. It was cr@p. And we were paying too much for it. I was resistant to change but eventually got persuaded, by Dave and every other sensible person I knew, to move away from it fairly quickly.

Now, as soon as I see AOL in someone's email addie I just think "newbie" or "clueless". I don't mean to be offensive, it's just my opinion.

I agree with Phil about getting new sites online and letting the search engine pick them up. I started a new site last week and that's what I'm doing too. But I'm not going to invite people to come and look at it until there's something there worth looking at. Promotion can wait until there's more content.

As Phil says: the search engines can at least start finding it.

I also agree about getting a decent domain name. The .co.uk domains are cheap as chips.

I can't take any business seriously if they use a hotmail, yahoo!, or an aol address.

And yet it's quite bizarre, I've seen CEOs/Managing Directors of some pretty good businesses doing just that. I once worked as a freelancer for a company and set up my email as myname@theircompany.com and yet their CEO was using hiscompanyname@AfreebieEmail.com.

Most "normal" domains are cheap as chips now. It's only the .tv and such like that cost more.

I am gonna look into changing now guys. The bloody faeces of a connection keeps on kicking me off. its 1:13 and I still TRYING TO GET MY UPDATES.

Another week gone, Richard. How are things moving along?

Hi Phil,

things haven't gone as planned this week. I went to my GP and was referrred to the A&E department at my local hospital. Was kept there over night and discharged the following day.

I have had to rest for a while and that has set my schedule back a bit. I am all well and live and kicking now. It was a bit scary in the hospital.

I shall be back on track next week and keep things moving at a faster than normal speed.

Thanks for the encouragement matey
