Save Money By Starting Your Online Business On Black Friday With HostGator

Published by under Misc

If you are still on the fence about starting an online business, there’s probably no better time to set the wheels in motion than on Black Friday this year. You can sign up for quality webhosting at Host Gator for as low as 99 cents a month.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Host Gator, Host Gator is a webhost that I highly recommend. In fact, I ran MyWifeQuitHerJob.com on Host Gator for over a year until I switched over to dedicated hosting. During that year, I had no problems and no downtime at all. If they offered VPS hosting back then, I’d still be with them today.

Host Gator is offering ridiculous deals on web hosting between 12:00 AM Friday November 26th CST (-6 GMT) until 11:59PM CST (-6 GMT) 11/26/2010..

In any case, starting at 12:00 AM on November 26, Host Gator is …

Product Sourcing Nightmares – Bad Experiences We’ve Had With Overseas Vendors

After publishing my article on How To Buy Wholesale Direct From Chinese Factories, a number of readers asked why my wife and I chose to pay all of this money to go to the Canton fair in China when we could have just used Alibaba.com for free to find our vendors. Certainly, the trip was not cheap. Here’s a breakdown of our expenses.

Multi Entry Visa Cost To China – $440 (We paid $160 extra for special service so we didn’t have to drive all the way to the Embassy in San Francisco)
Airfare To Hong Kong – $1740

Train to/from Guangzhou – $120

Canton Fair – How To Buy Wholesale Direct From Chinese Factories

These past few weeks I’ve been in Asia so I apologize if I haven’t been terribly responsive via email. Between jetlag and my packed schedule, I’ve been either too brain dead or fatigued to answer mails or write blog entries.

But now I’m back and I’m eager to tell you about my trip! As many of you know, my wife and I try to go out to Asia to meet with our linen vendors directly as well as attend the big Canton import export trade fair as often as we can.

With two kids however, we haven’t been out to Asia in over 2 years. This year however, my wife and I were absolutely adamant about getting out there so we flew my mom, my aunt and my uncle out to California all expenses paid in order to take care of our 2 kids while we flew to Hong …
