PROGRESS THREAd: stlsmoore (Offer my first ebook for free?)

[stlsmoore]

I'm still chugging along! With my new job role and extra income I've been investing pretty much all of it into my student loan debt and the rest into my website project Saint Louis City Guide . Over the years I have become very interested with the history, present, and future of my home town Saint Louis. I decided to base something around this little bit of passion and create a city guide website. This is for sure one of the oldest money making types of websites in the online world but I found many short comings in areas that the other local city guide websites didn't have. Mainly more options and ways for a business to promote it's business under the listings section and ease of use to navigate city guide websites. It's fully integrated for use with Facebook, Twitter, and the customer can even upload promotional video's when they purchase my fully featured business listing plan.

I'm still in beta stages and I'm offering free listings for the first 10 businesses to help get the ball rolling and "fill out" the website. I have marketing plan in effect and I have a designer finishing up a WAY better looking header than the temporary one I currently have. I'm really not sure if my pricing is to low, I would love to hear what you all think about that or any other suggestions! The site should be live on November 1st, again the website is Saint Louis City Guide

Out of curiosity, are you still writing a ccna ebook or did I miss something while skimming this thread?

[stlsmoore]

Sorry that site has been created and I'm still selling on average 5 copies a month without any additional work on my end which is pretty nice, I call it my gas money. The website is CCNA Labs : Configure the Network

I forgot to mention that I'm drumming up a little business providing SEO services as well. I have one company so far that pays me a monthly fee to provide basic SEO services and that's been working out quite well also without to much work on my part as I found a pretty good group of people to outsource the work to while keeping the remaining profit.

Cool! Have you ever seen or used packet tracer? Cool learning tool

Free Download Packet Tracer 5.0 Full Version Dumps | Latest PassGuide Pass4sure Testking Testinside Actualtest Exams
(don't know if these are torrents)


Also, don't know if you know but Cisco has games to help CCNA candidates prep for the tests.

I'm not familiar whatsoever with bringing traffic to web sites but I would think that not too many people going through those classes know about tools like packet tracer (more interactive than boson) or the games and I would think they'd be grateful to have access to them.

I'm just brainstorming here but I wonder if it would be possible to license a version of pt so that maybe accounts could be set up on your page and practice networks could be built from your page using it?

Just a humble .02 from a stock trader!

Packet Tracer is a very cool tool indeed, I based my whole book around packet tracer! The only way to "officially" obtain packet tracer is to attend a CCNA class sadly. That's a neat idea though and I have the thinking cap going no on how I could possibly implement that simulation idea.

Thanks! And I'm sending you some rep speed too because I know what you went through to get that cert. Is the CCNP and CCIE on your list in the future?



For those reading this, Cisco Certified Network Associate exam is a very VERY difficult test to pass. ...You have no idea!
And, to forward that knowledge into an ebook definitely deserves some rep.

CCNP is a bear, the CCIE is a MONSTER! I was gearing up to take CCNP but I fell into the VoIP world with my last employer. So I shifted from full-fledged routing and switching to learning about telecommunications, PSTN, VoIP, and how they all correlate with each other. I plan on taking my CCNA:Voice by the end of December and then I'm going to move on to the CCNP cousin the CCVP (Cisco Certified Voice Professional). The nice thing about VoIP is that it's still new technology so there is a huge market and need for not only professionals that know it but also businesses that provide it. It's not uncommon for VoIP engineers to make 120-140K that have 5 or so years of experience.

I receive about 3-4 offers a month for VoIP engineer positions and I've only been at it for a year and a half! Also VoIP is a perfect candidate for creating a "managed service" type business around since not much new hardware is needed besides the actual phone and even that can be virtual (similar to an IM client that runs on your PC).

Have you had a chance to check out these games?

https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/co...nections/games

The slingshot one was a favorite as was the binary game. I liked the games because they were timed and having to set up a series of networks in a class c while timed can be a challenge!

Maybe you could also put games like these on your page?

Most everybody likes games and it's perhaps a good way to keep people on your site for longer periods of time?

...just a humble suggestion

A good friend of mine is a network security guy for a bank and he's not Cisco certified and he even failed the ccna but yeah, the industry is growing at an enormous rate and he's making 6 figures in his position.
