Yeah, I've not the access to a massive network with shiny new hardware so my target market is shared hosting for now. Just looking to give it a premium twist instead of playing the $x/month game.

I like that motto. My mantra was all about keeping it simple but that might be worth weaving into my support setup. Thanks for your input!

Hey, thanks. I like what those companies are doing but I'm already doing the same with shared hosting. I've already committed to really, really good support. I have integrated live support available most of the time customers are awake.

Basically I've got a dedicated server and a virtual server which I use to sell $x/month bargain hosting, just not basement bargains. Short-term goal is to be slightly premium as in $xx/month. I feel that fanatical support and stellar uptime on well-managed servers will make me a fortune in time.

So all that is identified already. In fact, I'm up and running. I just need a better way to get to my 20,000 accounts goal sooner rather than later.

Tell me this: How much time spent on education vs experience is worth it? I want to specialize in serving my customers with great data services, not tracking them down. Is reading into this worth my time? Why shouldn't I just hire someone who knows how to do this well?

Thanks for the recommendations, it shows you mean well.

High relevance, got it! I'll look into pruning that long list of keywords they pushed. I thought 8-9 clicks was a bad sign but I see now that It might be the best start.

Thanks for your time.

Yes, Competition + Adwords means 2 bloody battles to win. One thing I'll do because of your advice is my own bidding. At least I won't get burned that way - Thanks!

So, you say good data, conversion codes and getting to a good Quality Score is where my game of patience will be tested. I won't go broke and I'll keep the acquisition costs in mind.

Thanks for your feedback!

Its cool. I hear your point!

Saved your answer - Thanks for your input! I thought 5% was decent myself. I like your ROI suggestion. Any recommendation on where to start? PPC to drive traffic looks like a scary way to burn capital right now. You think its my best option?

Makes sense. I guess I'll focus on more traffic for now to see if that 5% is something I can hold. Thanks for your input!

Thanks Martin! I will focus on getting more traffic for now, I think. More than 100 so maybe its not too soon for a/b split testing. Thanks for your input.
