How I Fixed My WordPress Installation Problem

I'm in the process of transferring my blog over to my newly purchased http://johnwarda.com domain name and last night I ran into a bit of trouble during my WordPress installation.

First of all, I'm going to use a WordPress blog on my domain, so I downloaded the files from WordPress. Once downloaded I followed the installation instructions and changed the information in the wp-config file. I changed the name of the database and the username I created for WordPress.

The next part says that 99% of the time you don't have to change the "DB_HOST" but as it turned out I was one of the lucky 1%.

So anyways, I saved the changes that I did make to the wp-config file and uploaded everything to my site. When I checked to see if it worked, I got a nasty "Error establishing a database connection" message.

So not realizing what the problem was I just went back to Wordpress.org and typed the error message in. That brought up a bunch of results, which led me back to the installation instructions and the "DB_HOST" part again.

I now realized that this must be the problem and I would need to change it and see how it goes. On the installation page it has a link to a page of what these "possible DB_HOST Values" codes could look like for different hosting companies.

I found the example for my 1and1.com hosting company, found and copied the code from my control panel and then pasted it into my wp-config file.

Once I uploaded it I had to jump up and celebrate because it worked like a charm.

So if you are thinking of setting up a Wordpress blog on your own domain, keep this experience in mind and it might save you a lot of time and hassle.

Get Internet Marketing Coaching From Michael Cheney

In my last blog post I told you about the Internet Marketing coaching program I joined that was offered by Michael Cheney.

Well last night I sat down with my cup of tea and tuned in to our weekly live streaming coaching show. Michael started off by talking about a special offer that he sent out to his lists for another coaching program that he is offering. The majority of the people on this live coaching show had received the email and some people even contacted Michael to ask him why this offer is so much cheaper than the $4000 we paid.

The main differences why we paid more is because we are getting more personal coaching from phone calls and longer email access to him as well as a few other goodies. Just being able to talk to Michael on the phone to ask him anything I want is worth the $4000 to me.

I do realize that not everyone has $4000 to invest in an Internet Marketing coaching program like this, so you'll be blown away when you check out the price Michael is offering this system for.

If you are a beginner you might be wondering... "Is it easy to set everything up to start making money right away even if you have never set up a website before?". Yep, it sure is easy to set up. In fact, a 14 year old kid used this exact system to make $18,076 in less than 3 days.

Now I'm not going to waste your time by writing 10 pages of what you will be getting in this program and thanks to good old Michael, I don't have to. Michael has put together a short video explaining it all.

I will warn you though, he is limiting the amount of members because of all the content and personal email access he is giving to you, so he will pull the offer soon. He doesn't want to end up in a situation where he can't give you the total support you need because he is busy helping thousands of other members too.

So hurry over before it's too late and check out all the stuff that Michael Cheney is giving away.

**Update - I just found out that the offer is coming down at 9PM EST on Thursday June 12th.

Internet Marketing Coaching With Michael Cheney

One of the biggest mistakes that I have made with my Internet Marketing Business in the past was that I would jump from technique to technique without sticking to something and seeing it to the end. I would buy an ebook, try out the strategies and if I didn't see results immediately, I would lose interest and move on to another technique.

I bet there are a lot of people out there that are like I was... own all these Internet Marketing ebooks and are still struggling to make a buck.

Lately I have been seeing a little bit of success though. What turned it around for me was listening to Michael Cheney and using his techniques on one of my niche websites.

I set up an opt-in squeeze page and wrote a bunch of articles that are linked to it. I did a bunch of research and put together some great quality content for my 7-day autoresponder series. Sure this takes a lot of work and time but I now have list of 140 people and it’s growing all the time. I know that might not sound much to some people but it's better than only having 10 like I had only a few months ago.

I also got my first sale from that list the other day so I'm starting to get something in return from all that hard work.

You have no idea how happy this makes me feel. I'm not second-guessing myself anymore and I'm taking action. I know I can make a lot of money in Internet Marketing; it's just going to take some time.

How much time? I have no idea but I figured out that there is a pretty damn good chance that it wont take as long if I find someone to show me how to do it properly than if I try to do it all on my own. Find someone that has already made all of these mistakes so you can learn from it and not make the same ones. This will make things easier and save so much time.

That's where Michael Cheney comes in. I have joined his 10-week Internet Marketing coaching program where he shares all of his knowledge on how to make money in Internet Marketing. Michael limited his class to only 25 people so he can give one on one coaching and make sure that he can help everyone personally when they need it. We're getting weekly live streaming events, personal phone calls and email access to him.

It costs $4000 for this program but it’s worth it. Michael provides an unbelievable amount of content in the members area and with the phone calls, he's more than willing to kick our ass to make sure we get things done so we can make back the money we invested in his coaching program. Plus for $4000, it's got to be good. Michael has built up a reputation for providing great quality products and wanting to help people succeed. I seriously don't think he would risk his reputation by putting out crap.

I'm really excited about Michael's Internet Marketing coaching program because I feel like this is going to get me to the next level and I'm going to start making a healthy income very soon. I'll let you know how it works out :-).
