Web Host Review Of Infinology.com - Infinology.net - Infinology Web Hosting
Let me start by saying that I've never done this before, but I can't say that I won't do it again.
If you are looking for website hosting or if you have been thinking about trying Infinology services, then do NOT subscribe to their web hosting service!
I repeat! Do NOT use this company!
I've been using them for over 3 1/2 years and their customer support began to deteriorate well over a year ago. It should have been a wakeup call for me to get the hell out of there, but like an idiot wanting more punishment... I've stuck with them.
Now, I'm regretting every minute of it. I have been trying to contact someone for customer support for over 2 months and I haven't gotten any reponse. No phone call, no returned emails... nothing!
A phone call leads to a "full" voicemail box and you can't leave a message most of the time. Emails have gone blatantly unanswered and if you try to trick them and ask for the "sales department" when calling, then sometimes you can talk to a real person.
Unfortunately, the sales department says they will have technical support call you back... which is a lie.
So this review of Infinology is as much of a venting session for me as it is as a warning to you.
If you are looking for good web hosting companies, then I recommend you read the reviews at:
I found the site recently and it appears to have some very good feedback from customers and how they rate hosting companies.
You can review hundreds of companies from the "best" to "worst".
The hosting company that I use for several websites is Blue Host and I've been very happy with them. I would highly recommend that you use them if you are looking for inexpensive hosting with all the bells and whistles!
Good luck!

Selling To Niche Markets


Are You Really Selling To Niche Markets?
Here's How To Double, Even Triple Your Business!
by Ryan Ringold,
The Lazy Ass Internet Marketer


I've written several times before about finding needs in niche markets and filling those needs. Many times entrepreneurs develop products, services, and businesses because they are filling a need that THEY need and can't find a good enough solution in the marketplace.

However, I still see companies all the time missing the boat with niche markets.
Let me tell you a story.

I recently did some consulting for a company that offers weight loss supplements for sale on the internet. They have a strong customer base and did over one million dollars in sales last year on the internet.

After about 20 minutes of asking them questions about their target market and the demographics of their best customers, it became clear to me that they still were not marketing to "niche" markets the way that they could be and were losing out on hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in revenue.

The founder of this weight loss supplement company explained to me that he always thought he was selling to a niche of people interested in weight loss and health.

He's right. He is trying to sell to a niche interested in weight loss. However, aren't there even tighter niches that are more laser focused that he could target?

How about:

"Quick Weight Loss For Brides"
"Quick Weight Loss For Grooms"
"Quick Weight Loss For New Mommies"
"Quick Weight Loss For Men In Their 30's"

When you tighten your target audience and get laser focused on a niche, then your marketing message should be tightened so it relates and speaks to your tighter audience.

It won't be any surprise to you that you need to have a separate webpage for "brides-to-be", "grooms", "new mommies", and "men in their 30's".

You tailor your webpage so it "speaks to the listening" of each of these niche groups.
When you tighten your message and your marketing so it "speaks to the listening" of these differnet groups, then you will skyrocket your sales.

Let me ask you a question.

Do you think that a bride would rather purchase a weight loss supplement that is made for "anyone" trying to lose a few pounds; or would she rather use a weight loss supplement specifically designed and manufactured to help "brides" lose unwanted pounds before their big wedding day?

She will want to buy the "brides" weight loss supplement, especially if you do a good job of focusing your marketing message on her needs and wants.

If you are currently selling a product or service online or offline, then you need to continue to work on developing niche markets within your bigger niche.
There is money waiting for you!
