May 02, 2012   admin   1 Comment

Here is info on some new Godaddy deals for cheap domain registration, web sites and hosting services. They also posted their new Deal of The Week that extends into Mother’s Day.

  • Last week Godaddy was offering cheap domain registration for just $2.49  using the promo code “MAPLELEAF”.  This offer was limited to one per customer and expired after 10,000 redemptions. It may still be available where you live – give it a try!
  • Godaddy is offering a new deal that extends to Mother’s Day. As posted on their site > SPECIAL OFFER! Save an 50% off 12-, 24-, and 36-month WebSite Tonight® plans, plus get a domain for $1.99!   Offer valid for new Website Tonight® plans of 12 months or greater. In the same transaction with the purchase of a WebSite Tonight plan, you may also register one 1-year .com, .us, .mobi (new only), .biz, .net, .me, or .org domain name for $1.99, plus ICANN fee of $0.18 per domain name per year for .com, .mobi, .biz, .net, .me and .org. Any subsequent refund of the purchased WebSite Tonight plan will be reduced by the difference between the then-current retail price of the discounted domain name and $1.99.
  • I also saw posted on their domain registration page an offer for a Free .INFO when you buy a .com> Here’s what was posted > Buy a new .COM, get one new .INFO for FREE for 1st year only. Not valid on renewals or transfers. Plus ICANN fee of C$0.18 per domain per year.

Why Godaddy.com Promo Codes Won’t Always Work

April 23, 2012   admin   No comments

Have you tried using one of Godaddy.com’s discount promo codes only to be met with the message “The promotional code you have entered is invalid or ineligible”?

It’s happens to me all the time - sometimes the codes work and sometimes they don’t. Here’s more on why.

First, a bit of background – Godaddy.com periodically offers up discounts on registering new domain names by sending out discount Promo Codes. These codes are entered near the end of the “checkout” process and can save you alot of money. Each offer is different, but you can register a new domain, renew or transfer a domain to Godaddy from another registrar for as little as $4.95 or $2.95 or less.

The key is each offer has limitations. For example, some Godaddy.com offers are only good for the first 10,000 redemptions, or have an expiry date, or are only good for .com’s, etc.  Usually the domain discount promo codes are only good for between 1-3 redemptions per customer.  Recently, I tried using a discount promo code for a domain registration that I felt was still valid – but it still didn’t work.  I phoned my godaddy Support and discovered that some discount promo codes have geographic limitations and other limits attached to them.  So, the domain promo code I was trying to use wasn’t valid for customers in my country, so it wouldn’t work.

I don’t begrudge Godaddy for this at all, as they are in business and are constantly offering up deals to attract customers from different markets. And Godaddy is not the only domain registrar doing this. Do a search for “domain registration” on Google and you will see many different registrars offering deals.

So, if Godaddy’s domain promo codes have limitations and some will work and some won’t, what can we do about it?  

Be quick and try them!  If a Godaddy.com promo code will expire after a limited number of redemptions, then we should be quick and register our domain soon before it runs out. It would help you if you have a “ready” list of unregistered domains that you would like to register – then, when a new code comes out, you can jump on it and be one of the first to get the discount by registering one from your “pool”.  Also, use the maximum offered to get the most out of each offer, whether it’s 1 or 3. Some offers are good for domain transfers or renewals, so you can renew or transfer your existing domains cheaper.

If you’ve tried and the domain promo code won’t work for you, then don’t worry, there is sure to be another one on the way shortly.  (Here’s my affiliate link to www.GoDaddy.com )

Business is About Sales – And Sales is About People.

February 09, 2012   admin   No comments

What a difference that made!  Just had a great conversation on the phone with business person buying a domain and it made my day it was so….positive!  That’s a long way from earlier this week when I dreaded picking up the phone to talk with my client from hell – the client I FIRED!

Let me back up.  I had a client where things weren’t going too well.  They were missing monthly payments, not following instructions for proper service – and it was starting to weigh on me.  You know the kind? Where it starts to get negative, each conversation/email is a drag on you, where you start to avoid communicating with them, where they start taking more of your time, where you wonder if this is all worth it for the couple of bucks they bring to your biz (if they pay at all).  Well, the point is they aren’t worth it. These types of clients are not healthy for you or your biz. Being around negativity rubs off on you (and trickles into your relationships/family), just like being around great clients can lift you up.  So, being a big reader of Dan Kennedy lately, I did what he would suggest – I FIRED THEM! 

That’s right, I refused any more service, which I had the right to do under my Terms of Service.  I told them to go find someone else to help them and wished them well in the future.  I lost a few bucks (if they would have ever paid anyway), but gained the relief of not having to deal with their time-wasting negativity.

Now contrast that with the positive people I did business with yesterday and today.  I sold a few domain names to people who were happy to do business with me because I was giving them value (a domain to help grow their business) at a fair price. We joked, we were professional, we did our transactions and we were all happy. And one businessman even bothered to pick up the phone and have a great person-to-person conversation with me.   That’s rare in this biz. I even gave another Buyer a great deal because they made me feel good with a compliment (haha, no I can’t give discounts to everyone). Another business buyer even offered to give me more $ than I was asking for on a domain name because he was happy with what he got and wanted to “share” the wealth.  Imagine that….I was giving away money to someone as a discount and magically someone else gave it back to me the same day!!

I learned alot this week. Business is about sales. And Sales is about people. It’s about making people happy.  By giving, by helping them, then they in return will help you - kinda like life. When you can make a match by giving a Buyer value that they are happy with, and you can be happy with the return you are getting – then everyone is happy. And that just makes life so much more enjoyable.

And if you run into people who are not happy with what you are selling – then don’t sell it to them. Send them on their way, and move on to helping someone else who will want what you have to offer.

Life is too short to not enjoy the journey and the people you are working with.
