I just launched my first part-time business:

I Setup Blogs.com | Personal .com blog setup and hosting

It's cheap, hands-free, blog set up and consulting for a year, with a renewal fee per year.

I'm please with the idea.

I'd love to hear feedback.

It would look more professional with a smaller font size and no yellow highlighting, imo.

I'm not sure who your target audience is, but the current look will only appeal to a certain segment of the population (not really sure who they might be).

Why should someone who want a blog to share something with his friends want a blog post written by you?

Your target audience probably won't know either what a "keyword rich" article does for them.

You should also check your site in various browsers, written html code that breaks (in Opera) is not necessarly the best advertisment for your service.

Made some changes

Looking for more feedback on the product as well as the website

Looks better now!

You're using the word "myself" a lot where you should be using "me." I don't think people would want a grammatically incorrect article written for them!

I do also agree with brutha that people wouldn't necessarily want you to write their content.

I think the set up and hosting and all that is a great service though. I can see there being a market for it.

Please let me know how it looks, what the audience I'm selling to seems to be, and at what price would you value this service!

What your audience is, is something you have to decide yourself.

I would think that you can't sell your service online.

The people you internet illiterate won't find your page and won't have a PayPal Account to pay you.

Due to domain name and hosting renewal fees, each subsequent year of service will cost $40. I am not attempting to scam anyone out of their money here. The initial domain registration and hosting services costs $45. Each year, to renew your .com address and continue with hosting, you will need to spend $40 and I will renew your hosting and domain services for you, no questions asked, no work on your part.

Saying "I am not attempting to scam anyone" is one of the worst things you can do.
It puts the question "Is he scaming me" in the mind of your prospect.

Also I would still like an answer to the question: " Who wants that you write an article for him?"
