			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://30cats.com/go/SettingUp"><img src="http://imsimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/setting-up-an-online-business.jpg" alt="" title="setting-up-an-online-business" width="300" height="224" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-233" /></a>I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about what it really takes to <strong>set up an online business</strong>. It came up because I was talking to a guru friend of mine a couple of days ago and the subject of &#8220;<em>getting started</em>&#8221; came up. </p>
<p>He made the point that it&#8217;s actually pretty easy to make a few hundred bucks per month online. But, it&#8217;s much harder to <strong>make thousands per month</strong>. Much, much harder. I agreed with his points but something else has been bugging me&#8230;</p>
<p>There are many people, perhaps you, who can&#8217;t get started due to technical issues. There are many people who just decide to give up before they even start &#8212; before they even make their first $1 online.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking about why this happens. And, I&#8217;ve done some research for you about this: </p>
<p><em>&#8220;What stops people from setting up an online business?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Rather than just go with my gut or based on a hunch, I really started looking at the data The Rhodes Brothers have. It&#8217;s really amazing stuff.</p>
<p>Before I reveal my findings let me say this&#8230;</p>
<p>Many folks reading this blog posting own one of our products. In fact, you might own several of them. I am proud of what we&#8217;ve accomplished. But more importantly, I&#8217;m proud that our techniques and tactics have made some of you <em>a lot of money</em>. </p>
<p>In any case, we get a lot of <strong>excellent feedback from our clients and customers</strong>. I read this feedback very closely. I tell my brother (Matt) to forward all emails to me when customers are talking to us. It doesn&#8217;t matter if the feedback is good or bad, I want it.</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;ve kept all of these emails, and I&#8217;ve done some informal surveys with our customers and close business partners. One thing keeps coming up again and again. Let me share it with you&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>There is a huge gap between what we offer and what it takes to set up an online business</strong>. Yes, we do offer some outstanding strategies. Our material is excellent and the feedback is 99% positive. (You can&#8217;t make everyone happy.) But, there&#8217;s still a big gap&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>The &#8220;huge gap&#8221; is TECHNOLOGY.</strong></p>
<p><em>Note:</em> I grilled our close business partners (other guys making over $100K per year) and they totally agreed. Technology is stopping people. </p>
<p>Setting up an internet business requires more than time and money. <strong>It requires technical expertise</strong>. </p>
<p>Now, hold on. I do strongly feel that our products and services are comprehensive, and even complete. Is it possible that I missed the boat? It is possible we&#8217;re leaving people in the dust?</p>
<p>Well, not really.</p>
<p>But the truth is that <strong>The Rhodes Brothers have built several online businesses</strong>. I&#8217;m kind of shocked about this but we kind of find it easy to set up entire online business systems over a weekend. So, when we talk about a marketing system we kind of just skim over the technical details. </p>
<p>I think back to when we started. Wow, <em>it really was difficult setting up all the pieces in exactly the right order.</em> It really wasn&#8217;t easy when I first started. It took time and effort. It was an investment.</p>
<p>The specifics of setting up blogs and cash pulling web sites is pretty much second nature to me now. I have the experience. So, stuff like domain names, hosting, DNS, email, squeeze pages&#8230; My brother and I just blast right through it now. No problem! </p>
<p>The more I think about it, the more I remember how <em>insanely frustrating</em> it was when I first tried setting up my first couple of business systems online. I had no clue what I was doing and it was painful.</p>
<ul>
<li>I beat my head against the wall.</li>
<li>I hired programmers who soaked me for hundreds of dollars.</li>
<li>I bought software I couldn&#8217;t understand, and books I couldn&#8217;t lift with both hands. </li>
<li>I beat my head against the wall again&#8230; and AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!</li>
</ul>
<p>So, I want to be clear. I know you&#8217;re having a tough time. It&#8217;s painful and I know it.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s exactly why I started putting together a <em>&#8220;Set Up Your Online Business&#8221;</em> video series. I had a great outline and I was ready to shoot all the videos. </p>
<p>But just 2 days before I started putting those vidoes together for you, I met Erik Stafford. Everything changed&#8230;</p>
<p>He has discovered a way to completely eliminate the technical pain. The scary technical stuff couldn&#8217;t be easier. He&#8217;s made it &#8220;paint-by-numbers&#8221; simple. I love it.</p>
<p>It really doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re a seasoned pro or just getting started today &#8212; you will be amazed at how <strong>Erik cuts through the fluff</strong>. You&#8217;ll be on the path to online profits in just minutes. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s what really matters. Picture $487 coming into your PayPal account this weekend simply because you FINALLY got your web site up and running with Erik&#8217;s help. <em>Feels good, doesn&#8217;t it!</em></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re excited, I don&#8217;t blame you. This is the kind of thing that can transform your life. When the technology is easy &#8212; even second nature &#8212; money can finally pour into your bank account.</p>
<p>(Often on autopilot.)</p>
<p><em>Here&#8217;s exactly what you need to do right now&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Simply <strong>start with Session #1</strong> and move through each step at your own pace &#8212; and don&#8217;t be shocked if you have your website running in a day or two. (His stuff is that good.)</p>
<p><a href="http://30cats.com/go/SettingUp"><strong><big><big>Set Up Your Online Business</big></big></strong></a></p>
<p>I strongly encourage you to check it out because <strong>it will end your technical headaches</strong>. </p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>~ John</p>
<p>p.s. Erik gives you <strong><a href="http://30cats.com/go/SettingUp">15 minutes of technical training free</a></strong>. There&#8217;s literally no obligation. Put away your credit card. Take a deep breath. Eliminate the technical issues with your online business &#8230; today. </p>
<p>p.p.s. By the way, I did some quick calculations just a minute ago. If I had Erik&#8217;s training 3 years ago, <em>I would have saved myself over $12,000 of technical pain</em>. </p>
