William asks…

I’m a professional Coach I’d like to know what community could I join to offer my services?

I’m a Professional Coach (executive and life) and I want to offer my services by internet. What web pages or communities could I join for that?

Yahoo answers:

Hello,
Recently I discovered a worldwide online community website where you can offer your services. I could met a lot of artists, coaches, fitness teachers, musicians, marketing consultants and moreeeee. They are talking about their work, their services, and the more you make friends, the more you’re able to discuss your services.
For myself, I’m a writer, graphic designer and translator.
I could talk to many about my artistic job and show them my private store.
I also could show them my artworks via slideshows on my blog and profile, they were very very interested.

It’s a worldwide community, people from all the planet will know about you.

If you want to know more, just visit the link I’ll give you, listen to the video, register (all is FREE), no kidding, and start to make friends, create your blogs, talk about your services, and let people know about you.

I wish you good luck.

Here you are:

Where can I start a Free Webpage?

I coach Basketball for youth, and want to set up my own web page for the kids and families to enter or join?

Yahoo answers:

I use 50webs(free) for my webspace and bravenet(free) for the tools.
Oh Bravenet, they are the BEST at the tools. THey’ve got forms, polls, everything!!! But I wouldn’t use bravenet for hosting because of the ads.
50 webs has unlimited bandwidth, 60mb space, and other features.

Trust me, I have searched for years for a good host.

Mary asks…

I’m a tenor, how can I make my voice more lighter?

I need some techniques. I’m not in opera or something like that. Source please (ex. web pages).
I’m in choir and I already have a teacher. But he doesn’t tell exactly. I want to listen to my voice and hear it more clean. I’m like a Dramatic Tenor.
I’m sorry is without the ‘more’. And no like wider my voice, it’s more about bright.

Yahoo answers:

Well:

My voice teacher is a Tenor, and he is an excellent voice teacher and vocal coach, He make his students (males) to practice falsetto or head voice. That way you will find the easiest way to float your voice and the, one you recognize how easy and light and bright you can make a sound, you try to start connecting that sound with your chest voice.

Takes time but it works. My voice teacher has a Metropolitan Opera House competitions winners.

I am also a Professional Opera Singer and Voice Teacher and I use this same technique to work with my students and it really works.

Coaching Web App Questions

John asks…

How do you calculate Points Plus values on “Nutrition Menu” App?

I have the app named “Nutrition Menu” which uses a food score system. What numbers do I divide each category (fats, carbs, protein, fiber) by in order to get a points value??
(example of how it is set up: Food Score= fat/x + carbs/x + protein/x – fiber/x)

Yahoo answers:

Not sure if weight watcher web site has the points or not. Values should be close or worked out in some way. I lost a lot of weight and it might help you.
After spine surgery I gained 60 plus lbs. From family being nice and giving me all the things I wanted. From the surgery I could not exercise and walking was a chore. So with spine damage and no chance at exercise I remembered what my high school coach told me.
“It calorie in and calorie burned” The way to burn weight is burn more than you take in. If you do this you will loose weight. So I counted calories and I nearly starved.
I started reading the diets out there. Atkins and south beach. Tried Atkins and lost weight. After loosing several lbs I shared the diet with friends and it worked for them as well. One fellow went from size 48 to 38 pants, stopped taking BP medication and stopped taking diabetes medication. Ate eggs and bacon for breakfast and life was good. I just had trouble holding to the diet. In time I gained the weight back. After the yo-yo dieting and radical eating soups and such, I started to do the common sense diet.
I found something that works and I plan to write a book on it. In the mean time I am will to share this much. The more your bowels work the better you will feel. Turn your diet into a high fiber diet and the more you eat the more you will loose. I find that “Total” raisin Bran will speed your digestion. So eat two or three bowel per day. Salads of fresh veggies will help as well. Yes, use dressing of some type and you need fats. Whole milk, (have documentation to prove it). And Metamucil in the mornin and after noon will help clean your bowels and keep you going. In time you will be able ot eat most any thing you like (as long as it makes you poop) and eat all you like. Things like steak with fat and good cuts of meat. Stay away from burgers and processed foods. Chicken meat and good cuts of pork are OK.
If you snack at night eat the Raisin bran and it will move you in the morning. No white bread, high grain breads are OK.
You need to eat 5 or 6 times per day. From early morning on. Eat small meals and in the am add fresh fruits.
I promise you will loose weight and in time start feeling much better. I have given this info to many people and all have lost weight,. None have had medical problems from it.

I wish you the best.

Ken asks…

How should I prepare for the Boston Marathon?

I’m a 24 year old male. 6 foot tall and have a muscular athletic build. I have my varsity letter in cross country when I went to high school. and ever since High school I’ve loved running. In 2009 I ran the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon and finished with a time of 5:28:08. I’ve always wanted to do the Boston Marathon but I’ve never really had the drive to GO for it. The qualification time for a person in my age group is 3:05:00 I’ve been training to go to the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon this year. But only today have I decided that I wanna go big or go home. Could somebody give me a realistic training schedule I should do to accomplish the qualification time. and get my pace at a 7:03per mile? or give me a link that I can go to to accomplish this? Running tips to increase my stamina and get stronger and faster in a shorter amount of time?? I’d really love to be a part of the cause next year because I’m sure they will have a dedication ceremony and I think it is time to do this. I have to do a marathon after September 22nd to qualify for the Boston Marathon next year. And the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon is on November 2nd. So that is my timetable. If anybody could help me with this that would be great!!!!!!!

Yahoo answers:

Jeff Galloway has written the book on marathon running. No, really. He has literally written the book Marathon Running. Mr. Galloway has written a lot of other books and I have read one or two (but not this one). I expect it to be easy to read and comprehensive. Take it out of the library or buy it at a bookstore. Oh, I just discovered that it is in the Apple iTunes bookstore, too.

Speaking of books, while you’re at the library pick up a copy of Chi -Running by Danny Dreyer. His techniques and insight will serve you well. And I just discovered he has a new book called Chi-running Marathon.

And speaking of Jeff Galloway, if you’re too cheap or lazy to get his book he has a pretty good website with training plans. I’ve used his training plans before and I like them because they are general enough that they can be used regardless of your fitness level.

While we are on the subject of web sites, both CoolRunning and RunnersWorld have training plans on line.

While I was getting those links for you I noticed an app for running a marathon and a training app by Jeff Galloway

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/half-marathon-jeff-galloway/id535668548?mt=8

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/marathon-coach/id381333706?mt=8

I don’t know about you but I get bored running long distances and I like to listen to podcasts. So you might want to check out the “Marathon Training Academy”.

Steven asks…

Is there a web site that shows all kinds of figure skating moves?

Yahoo answers:

I assume you mean a website with video of various figure skating elements.

Kevin Anderson has a “Technical Figure Skating” site with lots of videos of advanced spins and jumps.

Http://web.dit.upm.es/~jantonio/personal/patinaje/

www.sk8stuff.com has a “Recognize Elements” page with some video links.

Http://www.sk8stuff.com/m_recognize.htm

icoachskating.com and mysk8coach.com are subscription sites that have tons of training videos created by professional skating coaches.

US Figure Skating offers iOS apps with videos of all the dances and elements in their Basic Skills program. They have simple demo videos for each skill level within their disciplines. Each discipline’s app is $2. Www.sk8sports.com offers a single, more comprehensive version (for $30) that includes games, tests and educational resources. Sk8sports also has video analysis built into the app.

There are third-party video demonstrations on YouTube, monkeysee and expertvillage; you just have to know how to search for them.

Web Coaching Solutions Questions

James asks…

what is the recommended web sit about diet where i can talk with others and have some advice?

so i finally decided to make diet to lose all the extra body weight i have but i need to talk to someone and need some tips about how to resist food i feel too shy to talk to anyone about that not face to face so i thought i can discuss that on-line as it will be much easy for me so any recommended web-sit?

Yahoo answers:

There are numerous for-profit web sites, but I’m not sure they based their information on the best science available. Typically, they follow the most well-accepted myths without looking into the best peer-reviewed research on human nutrition. Often some of the largest and most respected organizations follow the most “politically correct” ideas while neglecting the science. Some health coaches are good at getting you to structure small changes to improve your health over time.

One blog that I find very accurate is that operated by Professor T. Collin Campbell:

http://www.tcolincampbell.org/

Most of the respondents are very well educated on the science of human nutrition. It’s not so-much emotional support as it is informational support. If you want a coach, you might want to learn more about Weight Watchers online. I find Weight Watchers to be one of the better programs, but it is still based upon some myths and the purchased meals are often not all that healthy.

My advice is to take the time to discern the truth. Other experts you can consult (via web sites and books) include:

Dr. Dean Ornish
Dr. Neal Barnard
Dr. Joel Fuhrman
Dr. John McDougall

They all recommend a whole plant based diet. By the way, learning what foods to eat is only half the solution. You will lose weight if you follow a balanced whole plant based diet. If you want to get all the way to a healthy weight, you will also need to consider psychological and behavioral changes that are described by the following book:

Eat by Choice, Not by Habit: Practical Skills for Creating a Healthy Relationship With Your Body and Food
Sylvia Haskvitz MA RD

The author is an expert in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) which provides you with the tools to create some mental space for change. Too often, the language we use is not accurate and can cause unnecessary roadblocks. The approach is gentle and effective.

There are no qualifications, licensing, or certifications required for anyone to become a health coach and in a way, an amateur can sometimes be more accurate (with the current science) than an indoctrinated professional. A good starting point would be either a Vegetarian Club or a Seventh-Day Adventitst church. The church provides excellent dietary information and from what I heard, they have not been too annoying about trying to recruit new members.

Mary asks…

How can i get from Chicago to Mackinaw city by train/bus?

I’m flying into Chicago and must get there, but don’t know how to do it exactly. If you can add up some costs for each of the two solutions, that would be great.

Thanks :)
I’m flying into O’Hare, but arriving only at around 14, if everything goes smoothly. Do you think there is any way to catch something the same day?
Thank you both for your answers. The second option is best for me, as i’ve seen the hotel/motel fares in Chicago are not quite that cheap.

Yahoo answers:

The only bus service to Mackinaw City is operated by Indian Trails bus company:

http://www.indiantrails.com/scheduled-service

(Use Internet Explorer, their site doesn’t seem to work right with other browsers.)

There is NO train service. The previous poster misread the Amtrak web site. The train that leaves Chicago at 7:30 arrives in Kalamazoo at 11:00 a.m. Where you must wait until 3:00 pm to catch an Indian Trails connecting bus to Mackinaw City that arrives there at 11:25pm.

Greyhound does NOT operate to Mackinaw City. If you use the Greyhound web site, the schedules it gives you involve Indian Trails buses (click on the details, “IT” in the bus number stands for Indian Trails).

There are only two buses in each direction per day that go to Mackinaw City. The earliest I could figure a way to get there would have you arriving in Mackinaw City at 9:00 a.m. The next day:
Take the Coach USA/Wisconsin Coach bus from the O’Hare bus/shuttle center to the Milwaukee Intermodal Center. The bus will let you out across the street from the Intermodal Center. (It’s listed as “4th Street North of St. Paul” on their schedule.):

http://www.coachusa.com/CoachUsaAssets/files/105/Airport%20Express.pdf

Fare: $27.

Go inside the Intermodal Center (which is the Milwaukee Amtrak and bus station). Catch the 10:00 pm Indian Trails bus. You will have to change buses in Escanaba and St. Ignace (but it will be just one ticket). Your bus will arrive at 9:00 am in Mackinaw City. Fare: $61.80 to $88.15.

Http://www.indiantrails.com/scheduled-service

Here are the bus schedules to Mackinaw City if you want to try and figure out a better route:

http://www.indiantrails.com/sites/default/files/1485Jan11.pdf

http://www.indiantrails.com/sites/default/files/1488%20Dec142010.pdf

You might have better luck from Lansing Michigan. Lansing does have an airport and there is service from O’Hare to Lansing. The one-way fare is very expensive if purchased separately. If you haven’t purchased your ticket to O’Hare yet, you might want to price a through-ticket from your origin. There is a bus that leaves from the Lansing bus station at 5:15 pm and arrives at Mackinaw City at 11:25 pm. (Allow time to take a cab from the airport to the bus station.)

(Notice that whether you look on the Indian Trails, Greyhound, or Amtrak web site, every method gets you there at 11:25 p.m. It’s no coincidence. They are all putting you on the same Indian Trails bus. The bus I gave you that gets there at 9:00 am has you circle around the lake in the other direction.)

If you want to spend the night in Chicago, you do have the option of taking buses in the morning from downtown or taking the morning Amtrak train to Kalamazoo and transferring to a bus there.

Thomas asks…

How to setup affiliate marketing campaigns?

I literally need to be spoon fed. Are there any good sites that have step by step tutorials, examples?

It’d be even better if I had a mentor/coach (I’d split profits).

Please help.

Yahoo answers:

It is actually very easy, once you know how. All you have to do is offer products and/or services with high enough demand and not too much competition.

Finding the products and setting up the site is easy. There are tons of software on the marketing that help you choose “hot” products.

Once you have chosen your product and set up your website you then need to drive targeted traffic to the site. Driving traffic to webistes is where lots of people choke. However, driving targeted traffic to websites is also easy. You have 2 main choices for driving traffic to websites. You can either pay for the traffic from a reputable source or you can apply your own time and energy doing free things to drive traffic.

If you try to do it yourself it can be very time consuming, time and energy that most people don’t have.

So the other option is to find reputable source and buy traffic to your website product or service.

The thing is that if you don’t already know how to design websites/pages and you don’t know of reputable sources to get targeted traffic from, you have a problem.

Well, I have the solution to the problem. I specialize in Internet marketing and I have a 2 year degree in web design, so I know my stuff.

Ken asks…

What kind of cushions should I get?

Okay so I have developed rub marks from my boot and so has my daughter. I am wondering what solution you would have to this problem. I have seen cushions and I wonder how effective they are, and where can get them at an inexpensive or the least priced cost. I have also seen briefs with cushions in them to better cushion falls. Any thoughts on these?

Yahoo answers:

Depending on where you are rubbing Bunga Pads make cushions for just about every part of the foot and ankles. These are worn inside the skates.

Crash pads for helping with falls every coach has a different opinion. You and your daughter can not wear fall protection when testing, competing or performing.

As far as cost goes you get what you pay for. If you want quality padding you will pay for it. Best bet to save money on pads would be e-bay. You local skate shop, or go to bunga pads web site.

Laura asks…

How to and what to use to disinfect agains MRSA?

My grandson has contacted MRSA, we need to go in and disinfect the home. I know that bleach can be used for the most of it, but what about soft toys and furniture(its leather) and the cat. Please only serious answers.

Yahoo answers:

• Keep hands clean by washing thoroughly with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that has a concentration of 60%-95% ethanol (ethyl alcohol) or isopropanol .

• Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered with a bandage until healed.

• Avoid contact with other people’s wound or bandages.

• Avoid sharing personal items such as shin guards, socks, towels, razors, clothing, or uniforms that may have had contact with the infected wound or bandage. Wash sheets, towels, and clothes that become soiled with water and laundry detergent.

• Encourage your child to report “sores” to you, the coaches if applicable, and the school nurse.

When cleaning the home environment to prevent, or control the spread of a MRSA infection, you need to use a product that states on the label that it kills Methicillin-Resistant Staph aureus (MRSA). If it does not state this, then there is no assurance that the product will destroy the bacteria. Products that you would think kill MRSA, but does not state that on the label, i.e. Chlorox wipes, is not the best product to use. These products typically kill staph aureus, but not the MRSA bacteria.

Mr. Clean Antibacterial Multi-Surface spray states it kills MRSA.

• A bleach:water solution of 1:10 (3/4 cup bleach in 1 gallon of water) kills MRSA and is effective for bathrooms and locker rooms, * but this bleach solution only remains effective for 24 hours after mixing , so should be discarded at the end of the day . The solution can be put in a spray bottle and the area sprayed with the solution and allowed to dry to kill MRSA.

• A bleach:water solution of 1:100 (1 Tablespoon bleach in 1 quart of water) can be used effectively to clean areas less likely to be as contaminated (kitchens) *as above.

• Hand soaps are effective in washing off the germs when used correctly. The important thing to remember is to wash your hands vigorously with warm soapy water for at least 15 seconds.

• Sani-Cloth Plus Hard Surface Disinfectant, Super Sani-Cloth Germicidal Disposable Cloths, Sani-Cloth HB, Sani-Dex ALC, and Vionex wipes kill MRSA.

• Hibiclens soap kills MRSA.

And as always for any infectious infections go to the www.cdc.gov web site and search under MRSA

Coaching Web Application Questions

Jenny asks…

How to find some Scholarships For Minorities with no application fee?

Please don’t provide the scholarships that require some application fees. I don’t have money to pay for it.

Yahoo answers:

I’ve never heard of legitimate scholarships requiring application fees.

If you are still a high school student, talk with a high school counselor. There may be locally funded scholarships just for students graduating from your high school or for students within your area. He/she can also explain the ins and outs of all the types of financial aid.

I do hope you have completed and submitted the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid – http://www.fafsa.ed.gov ) or will do so soon. It is the form needed to be considered for Federally funded student aid (grant funds and Federal student loans.) Some scholarship awarding organizations also require info from the completed FAFSA.

Many colleges/universities* have scholarship/grant funds (funds that do not need to be repaid) for just their own students. Staff members of the colleges/universities may need the info from your completed FAFSA or may need a completed CSS Profile (from the College Board – http://sitesearch.collegeboard.org/?q=css+profile&searchType=site&x=11&y=10 ) to determine if you will be awarded any scholarships/grants. Scholarships generally require excellent high school grades or college/univ. Grades. You can telephone the Financial Aid Office of the school(s) you wish to attend and ask about scholarships or look for info about them on the school’s Financial Aid web pages.

*By colleges/universities I mean: local taxing district funded community colleges, state government funded colleges and universities, and private and independent colleges/universities (not to be confused with for-profit/career/proprietary colleges, which first and foremost are businesses with the main focus of earning profits for their shareholders.)

You can also look for scholarships for which you may qualify/to which you may wish to apply by using what I think is the best, most reliable database: Scholarship Search offered by the well-respected College Board:
* http://apps.collegeboard.org/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp
Click on the Start link in the middle of the text.
If you choose to register (free – registration is not required to use Scholarship Search) so you may return later and modify your search strategy, feel secure that you will not receive spam emails. Do not to select too many defining terms in your search strategy, which may result in a poor scholarship search result.

Please be aware that for many 2012-2013 school year scholarships the deadlines have already passed or are coming up quickly.

You may also wish to look at the scholarships listed in this March 2011 article from the well-respected publication, US News and World Report:
Scholarships for Procrastinators
* http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/the-scholarship-coach/2011/03/31/8-scholarships-for-procrastinators-and-overachievers

When you do find a scholarship for which you want to apply, make sure you meet the scholarship requirements, be sure to follow the application rules to the letter; use perfect spelling, grammar and punctuation; and submit your application before the deadline.

Understand that many, many other students will be applying for the same scholarships and only a few or maybe just one will be awarded. Please do not pin all your hopes of higher education financing on being awarded enough scholarship/grant funds to cover all your college expenses.

I do hope you have been saving any gift money and earnings – as much as possible for a number of years.

David asks…

New in the states – where to go to find help to find a job?

Is there an agency that helps with finding a job, writing a Resume and things like that? In Germany we have the “Arbeitsamt” (Job center) – where you go to register if you’re unemployed and looking to find a job – they help with resume, application and employers call there when they need to find employees. How does this works here?

Yahoo answers:

In the US, most people has do it yourself when it comes to finding jobs. The reason being compensation structure for recruiters in the US is very different from Europe.

You can hire someone to write resume. But make sure he/she really understands your profession.

You can also hire a career coach to help guide you through job searching process. This might be helpful to you, particularly it is your first job in the US.

Most job candidates search on the Internet for job openings. Companies will often have a list of jobs on their company web sites. There are also many job boards, some are generic aggregaters like monsters.com, careerbuilders.com, some are more specific to industries like cfo.com, jobsinthemoney.com.

What type of professions are you in? I might be able to help direct you to the right person or web site. Contact me directly via email.

I have a yahoo small business web hosting account and would like to set up an additional website. Can I do that on my account with an add-on domain? Do I have to set up an entirely new web hosting account for this other website?

I know other web hosts allow additional sites on one hosting account. Does Yahoo Small business web hosting?

Yahoo answers:

That is depend on your current plan. If you plan allow more than 1 domain, you will be able to do so. If not, you will have to either upgrade your plan or sign up a new plan.

The best way is to drop the customer support an email, and they will be able to get back to you.

Internet Marketing Company Questions

Charles asks…

Does anyone know of a good internet marketing company?

I’ve heard about a lot of people being scammed by overseas companies or they didn’t produce the greatest results. I’m hoping someone can suggest a company that they’ve had good experience with. I need help with search engine optimization, social media marketing and pay per click management.

Yahoo answers:

Yes, I’ve worked with a company called Gadzoog before and they did an excellent job for me. Regarding SEO, I had some very difficult national keywords that I wanted to rank well for. In 6 months most of the keywords were on the first page of Google and after another 3 months, those keywords were in the top 3 positions on the first page. We’ve probably received over 50% of our business directly from their SEO results. Their PPC management was also done really well bringing our costs down significantly while increasing our click through rates and interactions on the site. As for social media, we only implemented Facebook and they were able to get us over 10,000 likes and we probably receive over 200 hits a day.

I’ve worked with several companies and they’ve had the highest ROI so far.

Donald asks…

Does a telephone company have the right to sell a customer’s name?

I moved into a new city. I signed up for a cable internet and a phone line package. The telephone company they told me they would not sell names to marketing companies. I didn’t trust them so I told them to list my name as so and so (fake name) on the directory book. There is an option of not getting listed, but it cost money. Few months later I got mails with my fake name from Walmart, Sears, and other companies, including a DSL internet company.

Can I take legal action?

Yahoo answers:

They didn’t sell your name, they placed it in the book just as you asked. These companies get lists of all the phone books. The reason they charge for leaving your name out of the book is because then you are not listed. A sly way of selling your name without acually selling it.

What are the best methods to getting traffic to my site?

I have a shipping company to the Caribbean and I am new to internet marketing. Also, please feel free to leave feedback or comments on my site. http://www.shiptocaribbean.com/

Yahoo answers:

Internet is not a good place to advertise, unless your a big fish. It is useful for new customers, to gain information on your company at their convenience. THey have a question and your not available, they just hit their computer. Its the new business card and catalogue. If you really want to pump up your visits, I guess you could pay a search engine like google to have your name show up on top or bottom of its site everytime some one is searching for carribean and shipping. You could hire someone to artificial pump up the counter on search engines for anyone looking for shipping and carribean. That I think maybe illegal, but not very enforceable.

What is the first thing i must do to make money on the internet?

Hi everyone, can someone tell me “the first thing i must do” to make money on the internet with internet marketing. Thanks

Yahoo answers:

I have been making money on internet for 4 years and I was personally scammed by a good many making money methods.Finally,I found the most legitimate, effective and fast way for beginner to make money is doing paid surveys if you have a computer with Internet access and can sit at your computer for 1.5-3 hours per day.

But before joining a paid survey network, you should be sure that the paid survey company satisfies the following minimum requirements:
1. In business for at least 1 year.
2. Well organized, easy to navigate directories.
3. Directories updated at least weekly.
4. Helpful resources available for newcomers.
5. No “waiting period”. Eligible immediately..
And more,more….

I understand it is difficult for a new online money maker to judge whether a paid survey site is good or not.So I found a survey club to help beginner make money on internet.You can visit http://www.survey-club.info to find how to earn money easily and legally.Hope that help you.

Web Hosting Questions

Linda asks…

What kind of web hosting should I get for my website? So I can make unlimited web pages?

I want to be able to make unlimited web pages. What kind of web hosting do I need to buy?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN when some web hosts offer 100GB of space? Does that mean that the pages I create cannot be unlimited? So should I get a host that gives me unlimited web space?

Yahoo answers:

Any web hosting company that says they are providing either UNLIMITED disk space, or storage, or bandwidth are committing FRAUD! Look at their agreement terms and you will quickly find out that it really is not unlimited. They actually completely limit you, and in fact can kick you off their server and hosting for almost any kind of tiny usage. Meaning you use more than they like and yes, they will kick you off. This is happening ever hour of every day by one hosting company or another that is involved in that kind of fraudulent marketing.

You can make MILLIONS of web pages with 100GB. Just because they say they are giving you 100GB, does not mean you get that. They will limit your traffic. They will limit your bandwidth. They will limit your memory. They will limit the number of processes you can do on the servers. They will limit the number of inodes you can have. They will limit the number of files you can have. They will limit all kinds of resources. None of that is mentioned in the bold letters or on the package descriptions. You would need to ask them, or read their fine, fine print in the agreements.

Unless they are charging you a large lump of money every month, you do not get large disk space because you will never be able to make use of it the way you want. Even with today’s technology. Let me put it this way, WHAT GOOD IS IT GETTING 100GB, WHEN YOU CANNOT ACTUALLY USE IT because they have limits on the number of files, on the number of inodes, and only allow a tiny, tiny CPU usage, or extremely limited email processing, or percentage usage on server memory.

You do what you propose, and you won’t last long on that server, and soon you will find that the hosting company is pushing you to purchase a dedicated servers, and at a lot higher cost.

USE THIS FORMULA
1)
1 page can range from 50KB to 200KB (yes wide range) if you are smart about your site design, and if you are not, and do it stupid like, then it can be much higher. So, I am going to go with an average of 125KB.
2)
100GB is APPROXIMATELY (really multiplied by 1024, which I won’t do for simplicity) 100,000,000K.
3)
So, 100,000,000 divided by 125 = 800,000 pages. Now if each page was 50K, then 2,000,000 (TWO MILLION) pages could be done.

Remember, the larger you make a web page, the longer it takes to load to the visitor of the site. Not everyone has fast connections to the Internet. The goal is ALWAYS to make each page as small as possible by optimizing all the pictures (images/pics), and limiting other content.

According to the resource below, business sites disk space can range from a total of 2MB to 50MB. That is for their WHOLE site. Everything. Databases, site content, etc.
So, consider that now.
At 50MB, the 100,000 (this is APPROXIMATELY 100GB in MB) divided by 50 and so 100000/50 = 2000 complete company website (that is TWO THOUSAND complete hosting site with databases, emails, site content, and much more). You think a hosting company is stupid enough to give up hosting for 2000 sites and just sell 1 hosting package instead. NO! The moment they feel that you need to pay more, the have plenty of reasons to point to and force you to pay more or change.
Only a very few are honest about their hosting, the other hundreds of thousands are all committing fraud.

The amount of Disk Space or Storage is ALL MARKETING. Purely to lure you and sucker a purchase.

You say you want to make unlimited pages? I extremely doubt it!
With 100MB (not GB, but MB) of storage you can make more than 2000 website pages on average. You really plan on making more than that? Even if you add a TON of pictures (assuming you optimize), you probably still will not break above 200MB. An optimize image that has a lot of color and looks really fine and good, and at least half your computer screen (which means it is very, very big), can get huge to the size of 300K to 500K. Even then, an extra 100MB (not GB, but MB) means 256 massive sized images, but most images are between 1KB to 75KB (again wide range). At 75KB, then that is 1365 images. At an average of around 3.5K, then about 29,000 images can be used on the site.

Final Notes: 100GB is really 100x1024x1024=104857600KB = 102400MB

do you need a separate internet connection before getting a web host?

I’m thinking of getting a someone to host my website, and I’m a newbie in that field. Will the Web Hosting company take care of my Internet, or I need a separate Internet Provider?

Yahoo answers:

The hosting company will host your website. They will keep your website online for you. However, they won’t handle your personal connection to the internet. What this means is that you do not have to be logged in and online in order for your website to be up. Whether you’re online or offline your website will always be up because it doesn’t use your personal internet connection, it uses the web hosts connection instead.

Internet Marketing Forum Questions

George asks…

What is the best way to advertise a web site?

Im asking because I have set up a web site to raise awareness of a medical condition and despite being on google hits are slow. We are working towards getting charity status so funds are limited until we get funding. Does anyone have any ideas or information on charities or organisations that give funding for marketing to raise awareness. Thank you.

Yahoo answers:

Hello,

The most effective way to advertise online on the internet is to first setup a website and publish its domain name in major search directories like Google, yahoo and msn. More than 80% of users rely on these search directories to provide them with goods and services. These search engines and directories can also be termed as very large internet yellow pages….

6 Ways To Advertise A Website

*1. Advertise a website is by the means of a paid-per-click campaign on Adwords or on Overture. This provides targeted traffic and is a good way to advertise a website, however it may get costly, especially if you have a lot of competition in your market or if your conversion ratio is low. Advertising a website like this might not be the best way, but it’s a fast and easy way.

*2. Advertise a website is with e-mail marketing. You should find someone in your niche that owns an e-mail list, and then offer him or her 50% of the profits generated when you send an advertisement to this person’s list. Advertising a website this way is free and you can receive many visitors quickly.

*3. Advertise a website is by the means of linking. It might not get you too much traffic, but if you create a strong Internet presence people will know about your website and you will have done proper marketing. Website advertising this way is also good.

*4. Advertise a website is with offline newspaper ads or billboard ads. This also costs, but if your website is of interest to people living in your city or region, it might be very profitable.

*5. Advertise a website is by being present in forums and discussion boards that talk about what you have to offer. You should then leave your website link in your signature each time you post and you can also leave your link in your signature when you send e-mails.

*6. And the best way to advertise a website is with search engine marketing. The reason this is the best way of advertising your website is because it provides you with free targeted traffic.

Good luck….

Regards,
Raom.

Helen asks…

What/where are the best ways to find data about targeting a market for upscale children’s clothing buyers?

I’m starting an e-commerce boutique for girl’s clothing, ages 0-5. All market research I’m finding is on larger retailers. I’m also trying to deduce what areas of the country have the most disposable income with children and may be additionally internet savvy. Finally, I know of a couple of blogs and virtual publications appropriate to this subject such as, TotTrendsWeekly, Daddy Drama, etc. Are there other blogs and publications that anyone can recommend for upscale boutique children’s clothing?

Thanks in advance!

Yahoo answers:

Check magazines and, as you mentioned, blogs and virtual publications that cater to this market. Then find forums related to the market and start participating. This will allow you to get to know members of your market, and learn about them. This is the inexpensive, but time-consuming method.

(If you click the Resources link at the TotTrendsWeekly site, you’ll see a list of sites, some of which include forums.)

Alternately, you can hire market researchers to find out what you need to know. Of course, that costs money.

What are some ways to make money online?

You see ive found myself in a bit of a bind. I have the surveys going and affiliate marketing. What other ideas ?
I would ultimatly like to develop a sort of guide to all the available avenues to make money online. Not just target in on one.
But first, before I can help others, I would love you to help me! Any ideas, weird, out there, already mentioned, website suggestions all welcome. THanks :)

Yahoo answers:

Here are the main ways you can earn money from the Internet:

1. Sell products on the Web – You can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay

http://www.ebay.com

http://www.amazon.com

2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways:

a. Advertising – there are several ways you can earn money from advertising:

1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services.

Burst Media http://www.burstmedia.com
ValueClick http://www.valueclickmedia.com
Advertising.com. Http://www.advertising.com
Tribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com

2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system.

Google Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense/

Kontera http://www.kontera.com
Chitika http://www.chitika.com
Bidvertiser http://www.bidvertiser.com/

3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: “no pain, no gain!”

b. Affiliate Programs – you sell other people’s products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)

Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information

James asks…

I plan to go back to school and want to learn about internet marketing….what should I go to school for?

I really have a strong interest in internet marketing, but I’m not about to sign up for those cheesy scam e-books and whatnot. Any ideas on what I would need to go to school for in order to learn this stuff?
To the person below – that website you mentioned is a ripoff. Do some research. But I thank you for your answer.

Yahoo answers:

You don’t need to go to school — everything you need to know can be found free online. And while there are cheesy and scammy ebooks out there, there are also plenty of good ones.

A university can’t keep up with the fast-changing online world. By the time you graduate in four years or whatever, a lot of what you learned will be obsolete already.

On the other hand, the basic principles of marketing and salesmanship never change.

Go to the Warrior Forum (www.warriorforum.com) and sign up — it’s free and you’ll get more information than you know what to do with without paying for it. If you’re serious about this, you need to get to work. Take action.

What is the best hosting site when working with Dreamweaver cs6?

Hi, I’m trying to host my website somewhere in about two days, I’m fine with paying, all I want is for it to be easy and be capable with Dreamweaver cs6.

I’m a newbie at this so please give extra detail….no, give LOTS of detail. I’ve found its so easy to screw up with these things. Thanks!

Yahoo answers:

I’d usually pick a good web hoster, something like godaddy is good and reasonable in price.. You will pay for a domain and webspace… Their “economy” package gives you 100GB space and unlimited bandwidth.. Also if you sign up right now you get 50% off and free domain for a whole year… So right now you’re talking about £21 for a whole year… After that you’ll need to pay for the domain so it will be around £28-31 a year total..:

http://uk.godaddy.com/domains/search-dus.aspx?isc=cjcdplink

http://uk.godaddy.com/hosting/web-hosting.aspx?ci=76393

when you got your domain and webspace you will get FTP information which you can enter into dreamweaver cs6 and upload your files to their server and then your site will be available online at the domain you chose… Btw domain name i mean something like: http://www.yourdomain.com and webspace = the space you have for your webpages and files etc..

If you dont know how to do this please take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upba5EvyTFQ

Whats the best programming language for me to learn?

I’m interested in learning programming. I’m looking forward to a career in programming. I’m not sure what kind exactly yet but I’m looking into making applications and/or game programming. Please give me a good language for these and state which one your talking about. Also can you please give me a website or book where i can learn and master this language.

Yahoo answers:

Well for what you want LONG term you should go with c++
unfortunatly c++ is a medium level language and so you should learn an easier language first, to help you go into c++

what i did,a nd what i suggest for you to do it learn javascript first
im quite fond and favor of javascript
javascript is the code of websites
web designers can use this code to put things on websites the way that some editors just can’t
javascript is also object oriented, so you should thus will help you go to c++

so basically, i suggest you start learning javascript, once you get pretty good, start into c++
for javascript you can practive by editing web pages on your computer, that arent hosted online
however for c++ you need a compiler to interpret the language into programs, this c++ code differs from computer to computer and compiler to compiler, making it more difficult for other programmers of the same language to use your code, however javascript is universel, so going from one comptuer to another, or one browser to another, the code will never change, or do something different

hope i helped

John asks…

How do I stop a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack?

I host a small website and MOO on my home connection, which has a maximum upload of about 20-25k/sec. Needless to say, it’s not very speedy. One of the players who was banned for not following the rules has taken it upon himself to repeatedly send bogus requests to the server from various IPs. They are being dropped at the router, but unfortunately, the mere act of arriving is causing these connections to utilize all of my available bandwidth. Does anybody have any advice on how to block these attacks or, more importantly, are there any legal measures I can take to stop this person?

Yahoo answers:

Hi. A pleasure to answer you question.

First of all.. Let’s go over the legal. Yes, you can stop them. It is a federal offense to perform a DDoS attack against someone. So not only could you report them to your ISP and hire an attorney to subpoena the logs of the ISP and track the person down.. But you could potentially get the FBI to do it for you and have them prosecuted by the AUSA (assistant US attorney).

You need to subpoena… Their ISP because providing you with information would be a violation of federal law ECPA (electronic communication protection act).
Your ISP may or may not be bound by that but would probably require a subpoena on GP (general principles / general practice) as it relates to privacy.

You must keep detailed logs of the events.. Not just of the attacks but of the man hours you are using up, monetarylosses incurred due to lost sales, etc.. To cut to the chase… You must have actual damages that can be proved up in a court of law for anyone to prosecute them and for you to recover anything. Right? This evidence must be forensically sound and go through a proper chain of custody, etc.. Etc..

Also, it is illegal to hack back! So do not be tempted to seek revenge…

As for a technical solution…

Changing your IP is not an option… Ie, “retreat from your domain name” and basically put your site at another address while the attack plays out.
But doubtful in your case…cause by MOO you are talking about a MUD right? (Multi-User Dungeon)

I won’t bore you but I used to be head builder / imp of one of those…(for hire ;) and I had a user email bomb me 200+ a day.. Way back when there wasn’t spam control…

OK so a technical solution is probably going to be difficult on your budget so legal would be my first choice..but:

You could implement an IPS (intrusion prevention system), put a switch in, use a web proxy traffic engine.

You could set aside extra network bandwidth and server processing capacity to withstand sudden surges in traffic.

You could geographically distribute your servers… So if one gets taken down the other is up. So one segment goes down from attack and good traffic is rerouted…

All these take a lot more money than you probably have though :|

So you could work with your service provider to detect and choke off traffic directed at a specific IP address. (yours). You could even do this in the form of a SLA with a new provider (service level agreement – where they must or you don’t pay and can collect damages from them if they fail to protect, for instance).

Bruce Schneier’s company Counterpane.com offers service against DDoS… But again probably out of budget.

Did I mention forensic builder imp for hire? :)
Hope that helped. Good luck!

Mary asks…

What companies should I approach for raffle donations?

I’m holding a networking event on 6/28 in Manhattan and am looking for raffle donations. Does anyone know of any companies that would be interested in exchanging raffle donations for free email and web promotion of their business? Be as specific as possible.

Yahoo answers:

First of all, it will be quickest and easiest for you to work with locally owned businesses, since you are in a bit of a time crunch. And of course, you want to talk to businesses that target your group’s demographic. If your networking group is asian business professionals, then you probably want to speak with businesses owned by asian professionals, this would be a good way to bring more people to your networking group as well.

I would consider local technology outlets, ask for the latest gizmo or accessory in exchange for promotion, and of course, invite them to the event. I would talk to higher end restaurant owners in the area who might cater to the high powered lunch crowd, and some of the retailers who have storefronts near where the event will be hosted.

I would also approach businesses that offer services to the business professionals you hope to have in your group. Good examples are temporary agencies, insurance groups, and business consulting organizations.

Make sure you ask yourself is what is in it for them? When you approach them, speak about the demographics of the people who will be attending as well as the number of people who are expected and let them consider the business possibilities of having their product or service displayed at your event and within your organization. Offer the donators a “special” invitation to your event.

Sounds like you are doing a lot to put this together, I hope to hear how it goes!

There´s a NEW SOFTWARE THAT GETS YOU 10,000 LEADS MONTHLY ON AUTO-PILOT And Makes Sales For You.

* Personal selling, convincing, and explaining: ELIMINATED
* Buying leads, cold calling, selling to your friends and family: ELIMINATED

It´s only one month old and Im making so much money with almost zero risk involved. Please have a look:

How hard is it to find a Finance related job in Southern California?

My wife is being relocated to Los Angeles, California permanently which requires me to leave my current Finance job in Manhattan, New York. I have a BS in Finance and +2 years working in the financial industry. Working in the financial industry, I know California’s economy is one of the worst in the U.S. however I would like to get the opinion of locals on the job market, specifically the financial job market.

It’s amazing. My dad is in the finance field as well; he’s a finance manager. Yes the job market is terrible but since both you and my dad are in finance related jobs there are usually more jobs open to you guys. However, that does not mean it’s not difficult to find a job. My dad has been looking for about 2 years with almost no responses. However, this week has been a bit luckier. I’m hoping my dad finds one. All I can tell you is look EVERYWHERE on the internet. Everyone resorts to the main sites like monster and career builder. DO NOT only look for a job on those sites alone. Check all job sites and perhaps you might find a job. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t find one for some months. 7 months is usually the average around here so i’ve heard. Good luck!
