How To Advertise on the Internet Successfully

Internet or online marketing has now become the most popular way to get your business more exposure. Yes, TV and radio are still viable mediums however; campaigns using these can greatly make a dent on your operating capital. Advertising and marketing through the Internet is the most cost-effective solution especially if you are looking at long term success. Let’s face it, leveraging the millions of users logging onto the Internet at a lower budget is more enticing to any business then going for the more expensive TV and radio commercials. The only problem with advertising on the Internet is that it needs a lot more strategizing and analysis if you want to achieve success in the quickest amount of time.

• Determine a budget. You probably know by now that you can actually advertise and run a comprehensive marketing campaign online for free or at most, at a significantly low cost. This is true however; these free and cheap strategies can only bring you success momentarily. If you want staying power and long term success, you will definitely need money to do so. Don’t worry; it still should be cheaper than running a TV marketing campaign. These being said, make sure to finalize a realistic budget for your online marketing. The budget should consist of expenses to go to a pay per click campaign on various search engines, graphic and web design costs for your websites and advertising banners, and labor costs to spearhead and manage your online marketing efforts.
• Create a website and blog. If you don’t have a blog and website yet for your business, then you need to get one up and running as soon as you can. Do the website first. Hire a superior web designer with high level graphic design skills to create your website for you. Hire a web content writer to create the content for you site. Once that is done, move both people to create and maintain your blog. The blog is useful in sharing relevant content to your fan base. This will increase retention and exposure with a non-direct marketing approach. Make sure the website and blogs are interlinked to each other to redirect traffic from one site to the other and vice versa. 

• Create a pay per click campaign. Google Ads should always be your best bet since Google is the most popular search engine today. Create a complex advertising campaign on Google ads and have someone manage this campaign for you. Make sure to do your competitor and website ranking analysis prior to starting your campaign so you know what keywords to invest in.
• Use social media. The biggest trend in online marketing that has proven to be quite successful is social media marketing. This means that you will use the Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace, and LinkedIn to promote your business. It is highly recommended to hire a social media marketing consultant to create your marketing strategy for these platforms. Hiring a team to work on this campaign would be a great idea as well. The labor can be cheap since you can hire a virtual staffing company to do the work. Allow the social media consultant to choose the team to work for you.

Aside from these online marketing strategies, you can get more traffic to your site regularly by constantly uploading new content relevant to your niche to online article directories and video streaming sites. You may consider buying up ad spaces on websites that constantly get high hits or traffic daily however, this may be an expensive advertising option

How do I get wireless internet?

Wireless internet is not just "out there" for you to connect up to. You need to take steps, whether it's setting something up, paying for something, or at a minimum, asking for permission.
It's definitely not the case that you can just grab a wireless card and suddenly be connected anywhere you want. The wireless capabilities of your computer are only half of what's needed.

•

There are several approaches to getting a wireless internet connection.
WiFi
WiFi is a medium range wireless networking protocol. By medium range, I mean that its range is typically around 30 to 300 feet, depending on conditions. That means it's something you need to be fairly close to.
The most common WiFi setup is to get a WiFi router or access point, and connect it to your own wired internet connection. For example, you might upgrade and get a DSL connection, and then place a WiFi router on that connection so that you can get the internet wirelessly anywhere in your home.
The second most common WiFi setup is the public WiFi hotspot. This is exactly the same as what I've described you do in the home: the hotspot owner has a wired internet connection to which they've connected a WiFi router or access point, and explicitly left it in the unsecure open mode for anyone to use.

"The most common WiFi setup is to get a WiFi router or access point, and connect it to your own wired internet connection."

The key take-away here for WiFi is that it's not everywhere - you need to either setup a WiFi access point yourself that connects to your wired internet connection, or you need to be close enough to a free hotspot to make use of it. (More on that below.)
WiMax
WiMax is a longer range wireless technology; its range is typically measured in single digit miles. Much like cellular, which I'll discuss in a moment, WiMax uses a network of transmitters (equivalent to WiFi access points, but much more powerful) to give a large geographic area of coverage.
You get WiMax by signing up for WiMax service with a provider. They'll then provide you with the hardware and account necessary to connect up. The WiFi ability of your laptop has nothing to do with this; WiMax is a different technology.
Right now WiMax appears to be struggling, but for business, not technical reasons as I understand it. Coverage is limited and prices, last I checked, are quite high for the average consumer.
Cellular
The cellular phone network is, essentially, a large digital network so it's no surprise really that it can be used for internet connectivity as well. The coverage area is perhaps the largest of all - pretty much anywhere your cellular phone will work. It's not as fast as WiFi or WiMax, but that's improving over time.
Like WiMax you'll typically need to sign up for a data plan with your cellular carrier, and also like WiMax you'll need additional hardware - your WiFi capability has no relationship to cellular. The additional hardware might be as simple as a cable or Bluetooth connection to your existing phone, or it might be an additional cellular network adapter for your computer.
There are also third parties such as Clearwire who use the cellular network to provide wireless internet without involving your cell phone or requiring that you sign up with a cellular provider. For a monthly fee, they provide a small box that looks somewhat like a wireless access point that handles all the magic of connecting up to the cellular network to provide connectivity.
BlueTooth
No, it's not an option, but I have to mention it because many people seem to think it is, since it's "wireless".
Bluetooth is an extremely short-range wireless connectivity technology. By extremely short range, I mean 10-30 feet. Just far enough to connect to, say, your wireless keyboard or mouse. It is not a means to get wireless internet connectivity. When it's used in conjunction with something like your cellular phone, it's the cellular network that's providing your internet. Bluetooth is just providing that last hop between your cell phone and your computer.

•

"But I can connect without having done any of that."
This is typically the response I get, "proving" I'm wrong, and that there must be WiFi everywhere.
Take the original question: "I can get on the internet from my iPod at the edge of my property".
That's not terribly surprising. The iPod uses WiFi, and chances are there's simply an open WiFi access point close enough to that side of your property so as to be in range.
The point is that it's someone else's WiFi.
Do you have permission to use it?
Someone else is paying for it. They're presumably paying for a wired connection and have purchased the hardware to set up the WiFi access point. Just because you can connect doesn't mean that it's appropriate for you to do so. (In some cases it might even be illegal.)
Even if it's an open WiFi hotspot - perhaps a coffee house - it's their connection and they set the terms. Typically their terms are such that the WiFi is provided for their customers, not just "anyone in range".
If it's a neighbor ... well, they should have set up encryption to prevent just this scenario, but even if they didn't that doesn't mean it's appropriate for you just to connect.
Ask first.
If they give you permission, then your solution might be to try a WiFi repeater or range extender in your home, or getting a larger antenna on your wireless device. I'll caution that this isn't always simple. Wireless networking seems to be partly magic, but it's the direction I'd steer you in once you had permission to do so.
But remember, if you're using someone else's internet connection they can monitor your traffic.
In the long run, my actual recommendation is to upgrade to DSL and get a WiFi router of your own.
Be sure to password protect that WiFi connection so that someone doesn't steal your internet connection because they just happen to be close enough.

How To Change font size of web page text in Internet Explorer and Firefox web browsers

The quickest way to change font size in both Internet Explorer and Firefox- if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel (who doesn't?)

Changing font sizes in both Internet Explorer and Firefox using the scroll wheel on the mouse is definitely quick and easy, especially when you don't want or don't like to tinker around with browser menu options or keyboard shortcuts.
Hit the Control key and keep it pressed. Now, move the scroll wheel and see what happens - scrolling the wheel away from your hand will decrease the font size while if you scroll it towards your hand, the font size will increase.
A few points to remember. Internet Explorer will let you resize the fonts to 5 sizes - Largest, Larger, Medium (the default), Smaller and Smallest. Firefox, however, has a wider range and lets you decrease the font size till it becomes illegible or enlarges it so much that you see only one word on the screen (I've done this).
By the way, Internet Explorer 6.xx (under Windows) has an issue with web sites on which the font sizes have been set with the px unit of measurement. The browser does not let you change the font sizes on such web sites. I don't think this is a bug because the very idea of putting text in px units is not to let visitors change the font sizes.

What if you don't have a mouse with a scroll wheel? Use the browser menu or learn the keyboard shortcuts

Another way to change font sizes of text on web pages in Internet Explorer and Firefox is through the View menu.

Internet Explorer

Click on View from the top menu and move down to Text Size. You can now change the text to one of the five sizes - Largest, Larger, Medium, Smaller and Smallest. (Refer image below). Internet Explorer lets you change the font size to only one of these five values.

You can also accomplish the same using keyboard shortcuts. ALT-V would bring up the View menu. Clicking on the "x" key would open the Text Size menu. You can now use the up and down arrow keys and finally click on "Enter" once you have made your selection.

Firefox

From the View menu, choose Text Size and then select whether you want to increase or decrease the font size. (Refer image below)

The keyboard shortcuts for changing the font size of text on web pages in Firefox are much simpler than Internet Explorer. Keeping the CONTROL key pressed, click on the "+" key to increase the font size and "-" key to decrease the font size. I know I couldn't resist the temptation myself, but don't play around much with this feature else you can get a splitting headache. Since Firefox allows you to change text sizes across a wider range than Internet Explorer, I suggest you use the keyboard shortcuts on this browser.

how to change password in gmail

Changing your password

Here's how to change your password:

1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click the gear icon at the top of any Gmail page, then Mail settings, and open the Accounts and Import tab.
3. In the 'Change account settings' section, click Change password.
4. In the new window, enter your current password and your new password.

Make sure you create a unique password to help keep someone from breaking in to your account. Here are a few tips for creating your password, and keeping it safe:

• Never tell anyone your password.
• It should be easy for you to remember without being obvious for someone else to guess.
• Never write down your password. Even though your password will look random to others, think of a way to remember it so that you don't have to write it down.
• Change your password periodically.
• Don't choose a dictionary word as your password. Be creative.
• Include punctuation marks. Mix capital and lowercase letters. Use numbers. A variety of characters makes it harder to guess a password.

If your password isn't working, you'll need to go through our password recovery process. Google Apps users, please contact your organization's IT admin for help with password recovery.

how to create a twitter account ?

How to create an account:

1. Navigate to http://twitter.com/ and click the yellow button on the right hand of your screen, or simply navigate to https://twitter.com/signup.
2. Fill in the first field with your full name.
3. Select a username. Try to pick something that describes you - whether it's a nickname, an interest or a hobby.
4. Enter a password. Be tricky! Make sure your password contains letters, numbers, and symbols.
5. Enter your email address.
6. Fill in the Captcha to prove you're human, not a machine!
7. Pick sources that interest you (more on this below).
8. Search for Friends, and follow them.

Tip: Choosing a Username

Your username is the name your followers use when sending @replies, direct messages, or Retweets. It will also form the URL of your home timeline. Please note: You can change your username in your account settings at any time, as long as the new username is not in use. Usernames must be fewer than 15 characters in length, and cannot contain 'admin' or 'twitter' in order to avoid brand confusion.

Tip: Entering Your Email

We use this to confirm your account before you can finish the signup process. Be sure to enter an email address that you actively use. Emails can only be tied to one Twitter account at a time in our system.

1. Finding Sources That Interest You

Twitter is more useful and fun when you're getting regular updates relevant to your interests, so try the following:

1. Select some of your interests from the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Browse the sources listed accounts you might like to follow. (A new list of suggested sources is generated every time you click an interest.)
3. Clicking the 'follow' button next to a user's name will add them to the list of users you are following. This is indicated by the number in the green square above the list.
4. After you've followed users suggested in one area of interest, select another and find more sources to follow!
5. When finished, click the blue 'Next: friends' button in the lower right hand side of your screen.

2. Getting Personal: Contact Import

If you choose, Twitter can scan your email address book in order to find contacts that are also using Twitter. It's a fast and easy way to find your friends.

1. Simply type your email address and your email password into the boxes, then hit 'Find friends.' Twitter does not store your login, and we will not use your email address without your permission.
2. When you see a list of the friends and colleagues found in your address book, follow them!
   • Follow all of them by selecting the blue 'Follow All' button on the right hand side of the results
   • Or if you'd like to see updates only from specific people, you can choose to ask to follow your email contacts individually using the grey 'send request' button next to their information.
3. Click the 'Next: others' button at the bottom of your screen.
4. A box will pop-up with your remaining contacts who are not on Twitter. To invite them to join Twitter, check the boxes next to the contacts you wish to invite - or click "select all" at the top.
   Please note: if you click 'select all' and proceed, it will invite all contacts in your address book.

3. Finding Friends with Twitter Search

To complete signup, search for anyone else you would like to add on Twitter. This example will demonstrate searching for Biz Stone, who did not show up in my contact import.

1. Type the name of the person you're searching for into the search box.
2. A list of matching accounts will show. Click the 'Follow' button next to any you wish to begin Following. A confirmation message will appear.
3. When finished, click the blue 'Next step: you're done!' button to finish the sign up process. You will be taken to your home page, known as your timeline, where you can now share information via Tweets, as in the example shown below.
4. Press 'update' and you've successfully posted your first Tweet. Congratulations and welcome to Twitter!

How to Get Internet Jobs

How to Get Internet Jobs

If you'd like to work from home, you'd probably love to find a job on the Internet, right? After all, if you can work on the internet, you should be able to work from the comfort of your own home instead of going in to an office or work place each day. And it's this same reason that many people are always on the lookout for internet jobs they can do.

Now, there are actually many jobs on the internet, but they're not always easy to find, and they might not always look exactly like you'd expect them to. Many internet jobs for instance, are not technically jobs that you get a steady paycheck for. Instead, most jobs on the internet tend to be temporary work, and work for freelance contractors. This allows companies to hire people for completing their jobs on the internet, without having to pay them a full time salary with benefits.

Many internet jobs also involve providing a service of some kind. Writing is a common job that can be found on the internet for instance, and being a writer usually means you'll need to create custom content for your internet jobs, clients, or employers. Programming is another common job done on the internet, and so is customer or technical support - all of which involve providing some level of service or another.

There are plenty of jobs which allow you to work on the internet, but those often involve reporting for work as scheduled at a specific office or workplace location. With these jobs, your clocked in for a the required eight or ten hours a day, sitting at a desk in a cubicle, and using your employers equipment.

Most people who want to find a job on the internet though, really want to find internet jobs that let them work from home, set their own hours, and maybe have more time for their families. If this is the type of internet job you're looking for too, then you'll need to modify your definition of a job slightly.

To get jobs on the internet, you have to be willing to become a freelancer or independant contractor. Now there are exceptions to this rule, but those opportunities are very rare, so we're discussing internet jobs in the general sense here.

Since internet jobs are often short term project related assignments, employers don't usually hire full time employees to do those jobs. Instead, they hire someone who does freelance work on the internet, pays them a set agreed upon fee, and doesn't have to pay anything else once the job is completed. The great thing about temporary internet jobs like this though, is that you can often have several jobs going at once, and you can choose to work whatever hours you'd like.

One of the best ways to find internet jobs for freelancers and contractors, is to visit one or more of the freelance project websites. Sometimes there is a fee to join these, but you'll find there are many new internet jobs posted almost every day, and you can compete with other job seekers to be the winning contractor.

How to Register a Domain Name

This article demonstrates how to register a domain name. A domain name is the thing that looks like my-domain-name.com. If you intend to create a website, you will need to know how to register a domain name.
Registering a domain name is no different to any other online purchase - you simply add it to your shopping cart, then head to the checkout.

Where Can I Register a Domain Name?

You register your domain name through a domain name registrar (or partner site) like ZappyHost.
To register your domain name, enter your preferred domain into the search form. If it's available, simply proceed to the checkout. ZappyHost will walk you through the registration step by step.

Step by Step

Here's more detail on registering your domain name.

1. Check Availability (opens in new window) This is where you check that your preferred domain name hasn't already been registered by somebody else. A domain name can only be registered to one person at any one time, so if someone else has already registered it, you won't be able to (or you can put it on back order). Of course, the good thing about this is that, once you register your own domain name, nobody else can get it - it's yours for as long as you want it to be!
   To check availability, go to ZappyHost, enter your preferred domain into the search form, and click "GO!".
   
2. If the domain is not available, try again using an alternative name.
3. If the domain is available, continue to checkout. This part is just like purchasing any other product online. You simply follow the prompts through to the checkout. You may be offered related products, such as similar domain names or different top level domains. To add these to your order, click "YES! Add these to my order.". Otherwise click "Continue to checkout".
   Note that you must supply up to date contact details. Domain name registrars won't let you register a domain name without providing these details. This is a requirement by ICANN (see below for info on ICANN).
   

Who is the Worldwide Authority for Domain Names?

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is the organization responsible for top-level domains. Top level domains include .com, .org, .net, and much more.
Although ICANN is responsible for top-level domains, you can't actually go directly through them to register your domain name. You have to go through an accredited domain name registrar or partner site (such as ZappyHost).
ICANN operates the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and is in charge of maintaining the DNS root zone.

About Domain Name Registrars

Domain name registrars are companies accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and/or by a national ccTLD authority to register Internet domain names. These companies are often web hosting companies who offer a range of website-related services.
Again, ZappyHost is an example of a web hosting company offering domain names.

How to Upload to an FTP Server

FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is a method of storing and retrieving files remotely over a network connection. In any FTP connection, there are two participants: the FTP server, which holds the remote files, and the FTP client, which uploads or downloads the files from the server. Files can be uploaded to an FTP server via one of two methods: using an FTP software program such as FileZilla, or by using a web browser.

Instructions

1. 1
   If using a software program, connect to the server using its IP address. This should be provided to you by your IT department, or by the owner of the FTP server.
   
2. 2
   If using a web browser, connect to the server using either its IP address or its DNS location. FTP sites and servers are designated by the "ftp://" in front of the address, rather than "http://".
   
3. 3
   Log in if necessary. Some FTP servers allow anonymous logins, which do not require a username or password.
   
4. 4
   Most FTP client software programs use a drag-and-drop interface for ease of use. Simply drag the file to be uploaded from your hard drive to the directory on the server. The file will be transferred.
   
5. 5
   If using a web browser interface, use the buttons in the HTML form to browse to the file you wish to upload, and click "Upload." The file will be transferred.
