Looking For 3 Hosting Companies For Unique Opportunity - Check This Out

    Good morning to all my hosting friends!

    I'm pretty excited to present this opportunity to you, and since you're probably very busy, I'll try to make it short and sweet.

    The Rundown


    Basically I've written an ebook that deals with image hosting, and it turned out GREAT! It's around 18 pages long, with pictures, and might I say is very well written and to the point.

    In other words, it's going to sell very easily. I have a website up for the landing page, and I'm currently having the design work done for it (will hopefully be done today), and after that, I'll be ready to actually start promoting the ebook to DP and various other places.

    Here's Where You Come Into Play

    Within the ebook, I talk about getting a good web host for their image hosting site, and I'm going to recommend 3 hosts that they can contact and possibly buy a hosting plan.

    Wouldn't it be great to have your hosting company name in one of those 3 slots?

    Remember, this book is going to be sold like wildfire, and mostly the people that are going to buy it are new to stuff like this, so they'll most likely follow any recommendations I give them.

    So, if you support image hosting sites, and can give my customers a good deal, and if you want to be listed in one of the 3 slots within my ebook, feel free to make a bid below:

    Slot 1 - Starting Bid - $15 (BIN - $60) SOLD

    Slot 2 - Starting Bid $10 (BIN - $50)

    Slot 3
    - Starting Bid $5 (BIN - $40)

    Thank you, and if you have any questions, please PM me, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I really look forward to working with and promoting you, and have a great day!!!

    Shamus

    Hello,
    I would first like to go through the Ebook, & decide whether I would bid for a link. I guess it would be the same with other hosts here.

    Hello,

    I am sorry! But isn't it unfair for your ebook clients that they take your word for someone you "RECOMEND" as a webhosting company and buy from them? When it is not really you recomending it ? But just mentiong the host that pays you the most?

    I feel that this is a "low down" for your client's that might buy this and think that the creator of the ebook have experienced and used the webhosts that he recommends!

    Freddy, thanks for your feedback. I can certainly appreciate where you're coming from, however, in no way in the ebook do I say that I have any personal experience with any of the hosts. Also, it explicitly states that the hosts are reputable hosts that come from the DP forums, and have plenty of customer feedback to back up their claims of providing good hosting.

    If you were reading the book as a complete beginner to this, would you rather I recommend verifiable hosts from a reputable place, or have you go search for one on your own, not knowing where to begin?

    See what I mean? So this is not in any way "low down" at all....as a matter of fact, sponsorship is a very effective and ethical method for everyone involved!

    awwww, I wanted first slot :p

    Anyway sorry to say I cannot BIN any of them until I see hard proof of your website/selling potential of the eBook...


    Also, Freddy is kinda right in a way, but then again everything else is for sale in this world today, so... I personally don't mind your way of "recommending" hosts to your readers...

    Shagoon - Thank you for your bid. Check your PM box. As far as Freddy being right...well, I guess that's open to personal opinion, but let me say again, if you were new to image hosting sites, and you had absolutley no idea who to go to...would you rather go out blind searching on your own? Or would you like some guidance to point you in the direction of hosts that at least have some reputation on a forum like Digital Point? It's all about helping the new people, and personally, I would much rather someone point me in the right direction! I'm sure others would agree wholeheartedly.

    iwf-jacob - I'm sorry, but sticking with what I've been preaching, I'm looking for established members who can provide real customer feedback on their hosting service. I'm not saying yours isn't good, but I'd like to refer customers to hosts that can be verified by the community as good providers. Hope you understand!

    5starpix - Bid accepted, and thanks!

    Shagoon (I love that name) - Thank you for your bid!

    Current bids are:

    Shagoon - $25 Second Slot
    5starpix - $10 Third Slot

    Bidding will now officially end in 12 hours. Tomorrow evening, the book should be going live, so ending the bidding in 12 hours will give me time to get the winners into the ebook. Thanks again so far to everyone!

    Not sure this will help you out shamus, but I've used iWebFusion.net, and would recommend it to anyone.

    ryandanielt - thank you very much for wanting to BIN on the 2nd slot, but I'm sticking to using DP members that have a decent reputation for hosting. I'm sure your hosting is great, but I promised my customers the ability to check the community feedback for the hosts I recommend. Hope you understand!

    To all others - From the review copies I've sent to a few hosts, so far they really like the book! It's one of a kind, and should do quite well when it goes live. Again, tomorrow morning (in roughly 8.5 hours from this post), bidding will end on the slots. Make sure to get your bid in quick - because I'm quite confident it will be a nice investment for the lucky two that get the open slots :)

    Thanks!
