Once you are on your feet starting to promote your new Solavei Business, all of your very first steps should go towards creating your very own Professional spaces and marketing materials under the Solavei brand guidelines.
Solavei is a new service and it is up to you to present the opportunity in a professional and appropriate manner.
This is going to be a very much of "early bird gets the worm" opportunity. The price point on the Solavei service is outstanding and anyone with any knowledge of traditional cell phone rates with be happy to join!
But, they also have to be impressed with your professionalism, knowledge and appearance.
Having a strong and clean web presence is going to be essential.
Solavei provides an excellent choice between a a single page landing page or a multipage site.
You simply need to buy a hosting plan, purchase a domain name and install wordpress and then install and configure the Solavei theme.
The one page lander looks like this:
It is well designed and proven to convert, It has integrated contact forms, follows brand guidelines and includes the important information about Solavei that will help you turn leads into customers.
I said, simply .... but that may have been gibberish to you.
So in plain english:
To get started and to do it yourself you will need a minimum of 3 things.
Buy Your Solavei Domain Name for your Solavei Website
1. A Domain Name - i.e. www.YourBusinessName.com
This is the address on the internet you send your customers to by giving them
Solavei Business cards with your address on it, using it in your email signatures, adding it to Solavei brochures and printed marketed materials, or even just saying it to them.
That is important - you want to pick something that you can easily say to people.
We call this "the radio rule" - you need a name that can be easily spelled, isnt too long and makes sense for the cell service business and what makes Solavei special.
When this post was drafted both, Social49.com and 49cellphoneplan.com were available.
Those are the type of easy descriptive Domain names you need.
Domains cost around $10-$15 per year and you have to buy them from a Domain Registrar.
The process is easy.
The top choices for buying a domain that have good customer service and competitive rates are:
NameCheap
Namecheap is a great provider because they offer something called "Domain Privacy" for free. This means your contact information isnt available to whoever wants to look it up. So, if you don't publicize your home address and you don't have a business address, it can be kept secret for free. Any domain provider can sell you domain privacy, but it is usually a $10 a year charge. The domain from Namecheap will be $10.69 a year for a .com , it is ok if the name you pick ends up being a .net, a .org or .us , the prices vary a bit. But, they will all work. Your customers tend to be most familiar with .com's though.
An alternate resource for domain purchases is Godaddy, they are the worlds largest provider of domains.
You can get a domain from them right now with this special coupon code link ---->
GoDaddy $5.99 domain . They do not offer free domain privacy.
The registration process takes about ten minutes -
Do NOT say yes to any upsells - you dont need anything but the domain from them - say no to any and all upsells. You can purchase 2 years at a time if you want though if you are committed to your business.
If this sounds a little complicated for you - you can use a Managed Domain Buy Program like the one offered by
iHostPress (A Wordpress services and Hosting Provider) they also have a tool on their page that will help you search for domain names.
Your next step towards setting up your Solavei Website is getting a Hosting account.
DO NOT GET A HOSTING ACCOUNT FROM GODADDY
Buy a Hosting Account for your Solavei Website
A website needs to be hosted somewhere. A Host is a computer that holds your website information and makes it publicly available so people across the nation and world can find it.
Hosting costs around $5-$10 a month. You can save some money by paying for your year of hosting upfront.
The top provider of Wordpress Hosting that has the best customer service is HostGator. HostGator has one click installs of the Wordpress software you will need and has 24 hour chat and phone support. No one comes close to that at this price point.
HostGator currently offers a plan that will fit your needs for a Solavei Website at 20% off which equals $5.56 as month.
Solavei also recommends the following almost as popular and almost as good providers:
BlueHost - There plans start at $6.95 a month and they use the same system as HostGator to install WordPress.
DreamHost - There plans start at $8.95 a month and they can also install WordPress but they do not have the same super easy system to install it as BlueHost and HostGator
Connect your new Solavei domain to your Hosting Account
This step is easy and all of the above providers will have an easy tutorial to assist you in the process.
Install Wordpress for your Solavei Website
HostGator and BlueHost have a one click installer under the option of "Fantastico" you can also call or chat with tech support with either and they will walk you through.
Alternately, you can hire a professional to so the site install for you -
Sunforged Wordpress Services - $25 site install
Install and customize your Solavei Wordpress Theme
There is a great amount of information out there on "How to install a Wordpress theme" it is very intuitive and it is the number one site management software in the world. Its easy to get help and not that hard to figure out.
After installing the theme, a few quick settings and forms filled out within your Wordpress dashboard and you will have your very own Solavei website spending only about an hours time setting it up and investing as little as $20 in your first month with a recurring monthly fee of $6-$10!
