INTERNET MARKETING

Hi! I am new to marketing and just learning how to do things! I have a friend who needs to raise money for brain surgery and JOE VITALE has agreed to help me promote her web site for donations for her surgery! She is a disabled 28 year old single mom. Only problem is that I don't know how to make a web site yet! This would be a simple site with her story, pictures and a donation button. I NEED HELP! I have created a page on Facebook with the help of a stranger (now friend) on facebook, which can be viewed by typing in "Tricia Witkowski" on Facebook. Also, I have purchased this domain name: HelpTriciaGetSurgery . com I have her story written out and many photos. I just need help putting it altogether! I do have Skype and if someone can help me, I would be so grateful! I don't have any money to spend on this, but could maybe give you some of the donations towards her surgery for helping! My direct email address is melanie at melaniejoyvertalino.com . If you or someone you know has an hour to spare and can help me, please email me. I bought the site and hosting through Godaddy, but I don't know where to go from there! Thanks to all who read this!

God Bless you all!

Truly,
Melanie Joy Vertalino

Hi,

here is a perfect solution FREE since you have a domain and hosting. download the wordpess script from WordPress › Blog Tool and Publishing Platform. It comes with the famous 5 minuite install (easy to do).

with all the free themes available you should be able to get the perfect layout.

If you need a custom made donate button i would be happy to help no cost

  I have her story written out and many photos.
  
  Hi Melanie, I can make you a custom header for the site. The header could have Tricia's photo in it and custom title. And I can edit the photos for you. I emailed you.

  Paul, I may have missed your email! My spam filter takes in everything! Can you please resend? I would love for you to do the custom header and I think Eric, who is working on this project would like you to send him the header! What would you need from me? Just a picture of Tricia, or more? Please email me at melanie at melaniejoyvertalino dot com. I think the title could probably be-Help Tricia Get Surgery-unless you have a better idea? And I will send you a pic, or pics when you email me! Sorry for the difficulty and thanks so much for your time!

  Dear e-mail2u, Yes, I would love for you to do the custom button! Thank you! I think the guys making the site might need help with installing a word press blog on the site. Can you do that too? Please email me!
  
  Thanks,
  Melanie

Hi Melanie~

Looks like you got lots of good offers from other Warriors here on how to help you get your site put together quickly and professionally.

I think you're set there, but I'd still like to offer some way of helping, so once you get your site all done and put together, message me with the final link information or a banner and I will post it on my blog and help you get some traffic from all the working women I know.

Best of luck to you and your friend,

~Danielle

Eric--THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WORKING ON THIS!

Paul, Can you still do the custom header when Eric is done working on the site? I am not sure what he is doing with it yet, I sent him text and some photos for now--but would love your help! THank you!!

Danielle--Thank you so much for offering to help with traffic--you are GREAT! Can you email me directly, so I can have your address and send the link right to you? I am new to the forum so they won't let me post URL's but the site will be at www helptriciagetsurgery dot com. (lol) I will definitely be in touch with you! THANK YOU!

Tom G--Great idea and thank you! I am completely stupid when it comes to internet terms but social bookmarking sounds like a plan to me! Anything you can do to help promote the site will be much appreciated! Please feel free to email me directly using the address posted above!

Travlinguy--Thank you for your offer, I will keep you in mind and let ya know!

Ryan--Please email me so I can speak directly with you (if you don't mind?) I will definitely be in contact if I need anything. What do you specialize in?

I am sorry if I forgot anyone! But THANK YOU to all of you who have responded! I have been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how someone (me) who has never made a web site can make one in time to not lose Joe's offer for help! He didn't give me a deadline or anything, but who knows what could come up in his life? You have all saved me so much!

Thanks

Melanie,

Ironically, last night we attended a Celebration of Life Party for a friend, who also does work for us , who has Survived repeated Brain Cancer for 15 Years now and who is an Amazing Inspiration to Everyone whose lives he touches!

It appears that you have an Amazingly Positive Response already from your Fellow Warriors, which is Great!

Please let us know if there are any ways in which we may help, ok?

  Ah, the blog was a good idea. That way she can change anything easily, and comments can be added to it as well. I actually think that is a better idea for this particular site than a sales page type site.
  
  I'll get one of my guys to set up the blog and all.
  
  The header is a great idea, please send it to me so we can put it on the blog.
  
  The press release is great too and all the other help mentioned here.
  
  Thanks

  Eric, If you do the page as a blog, can we still accept donations? That was the whole goal of the page. Joe said to make it look like www dot kindey4thomas dot com. (I can't use URLS in here yet!). Also, can you make the blog on the URL I registered...www dot helptriciagetsurgery dot com? Whatever you guys think is best is fine with me! I just hope Joe will like it too, since he was the one who instructed me to do this before he can help me! I will write to Paul about the header too. Can I give Paul your email address so you two can correspond easier? Let me know! Thank you!

  I just emailed you and Eric. Basically, he'll tell me which template he's using so that I know what size the header needs to be. Glad to be working with you.

Melanie, I specialize in custom graphics. I'm also pretty good with Wordpress, so I could create a custom header for your site and set up a nice looking website that's easy to update with Wordpress (all free of charge of course). I know you've had a lot of response on here, which is great. Just let me know if you'd like me to get started on any of this.

  Hi Melanie: It looks like you already have all the web help that you need. I do suggest a Wordpress blog instead of a Godaddy site for flexability. A blog will make it easier to update her progress as she moves along in her recovery.
  
  See if you can cancel the site with Godaddy but keep the domain.
  
  When you get ready, I will give you a link from my blogs back to your site, and make a donation. Just post here or PM me.
  
  I will also place your friend on my prayer list.
  
  Good luck Melanie. You are an angel.

  Dixie,
  Thank you so much for your suggestions, but I already bought the site domain and have Eric started with it! I am new to ALL of this stuff, so any help I can get, I will gladly accept! When the site is ready, I will email you the link and hopefully you can help in promoting it? Thanks so much...and you are an ANGEL too!!!

  Melanie

This just goes to show what a caring and sharing community we have here at the Warrior Forum!

Your friend is lucky to have you!
Probably the best way for me to help after everyone else is to use my large social site network to digg and bookmark the posts to the site and make a donation when you are ready.
PM me when you are done!
Take care and look after yourself too!
Kym
Good luck to you, you are very kind.

  Paul & Eric--Thanks TONS for your continued work on this project!
  
  Kym-Thank you for your help, I appreciate it! Thanks for the compliments too. You are right about taking care of my self-I was sick in bed 2 days last week from stress. It is scary when you have to do something like this and don't know how and have no money for help! I can tell you must have been there at one time! I will definitely take you up on your offer! Many times people have called me an angel in disguise! My dad calls me Mother Theresa! I am always going the extra mile for others! (trying to at least!)
  
  Kate-Thank you for your kind words-I really appreciate it & I will tell Tricia what you said. The one thing I acually think I can do is create a button on Paypal because I was taught to do it for the Facebook page I made. I don't know what social bookmarking is but it sounds like something good, and someone has offered to do that above for me! GOOD LUCK!
  
  Ryan-So far Eric is working on the site and Paul is working on the header. They are now speaking directly with each other via email. If I need anymore help, I will definitely be in touch! If you email me, I can put you in contact with them to see how you can contribute? Please keep checking back here! Thank you so much for your consideration!
  
  Nancy-Thank you for your offer! How can you help? I am happy to accept any and all help that is offered to me! YOu can email me directly too if you want-my email is posted above! THANK YOU!
  
  Thank you to everyone who is working on this and who has offered to help! You have taken a tremendous amount of stress off me and I appreciate each and every one of you!

Warriors are great! I have had several help me out with our blog. I'm on dialup and have a difficult time uploading without coding getting dropped or changed. Plus, I can't really do the social bookmarking-it times out. Any volunteers?
Make sure the donation button is functioning correctly. Ours wasn't for weeks, we didn't know it and lost many donations.
I know the desperation you and your friend must feel, and my prayers are with you. Wish I could help!
