Decide what type of online book club you want to start.Before doing anything else, think about what type of book club you would like. Do you want to focus on a certain genre, a certain author, or a particular group of books. Or, would you rather leave the choice of books wide open for more variety?
Establish guidelines, rules and a schedule.Prior to building your site and recruiting members, create some basic guidelines, rules and a simple schedule. You may want to adjust these later as your group evolves, but it's beneficial to have some policies in place. Visit a few other online book clubs to get an idea of the kind of rules you might want to implement, including membership requirements, how books will be chosen, when they will be discussed, how any spoilers will be posted and a schedule for reading.
Select a forum hosting service.You can build your own website from scratch if you have the knowledge and time, but a much quicker and easier way is to sign up to host your own forum. There are a number of sites that offer free forums, but they do come with limitations and usually some ads. Other sites offer low-priced forum hosting with more options than free hosting. Choose your host carefully, since it can be difficult and frustrating to change services after your board is established, and you may lose members during a switchover. InvisionFree is a popular choice for free forum hosting, and iPowerweb is a top choice for paid forum hosting. Check the Additional Resources section for links to these two providers.
Build your site.Following the instructions provided by your hosting service, build and customize your forum. Consider including areas for discussion of the current book you are reading, discussion of other books, and for general off-topic discussion to give your members a chance to get to know each other better.
Build membership.Once your site is up and running, you are ready to begin recruiting members. Start by scanning your email address list for possible members, then expand your search by posting about your new group in book-related forums and on free classified ad sites like Craigslist. In addition to recruiting online, post flyers in libraries, bookstores and other places where you might find interested members.
Choose your first book.Using the guidelines you created in Step 2, choose your first book, remind members of the guidelines, and begin reading and enjoying your new online book club.

MySQL: How to Insert Auto IncrementsIn Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Identify the fields and tables in the database where auto-increment fields are required. Auto-increment fields are normally used as a primary key in a table or part of the primary key. If it is not possible to put the auto-increment value in an existing table, consider creating a new table.
Create a table by writing out the Data Manipulation Commands (DML) in a text file in MySQL format. Choose a suitable auto-incremental field to use for your requirements. Auto increment fields should have the 'NOT NULL' attribute associated with them to avoid potential problems in the database.The following is an example table with the first field, 'trackingid,' set as the auto-increment field. Every time a record is inserted into the table, the field is automatically incremented in the database. In this case, both the 'trackingid' fields and the 'customerid' field are the primary key.CREATE TABLE itemorder (
trackingid INT(8) AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,customerid INT(8) NOT NULL,staffid INT(8) NOT NULL,serviceid INT(8) NOT NULL,itemdescription VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,destinationid INT(8) NOT NULL,weightclass INT(1) NOT NULL,deliverytime INT(1) NOT NULL,deliverycost DECIMAL(9,2) NOT NULL,trackstatus VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,lasttracked DATE NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY (trackingid, customerid)
);
Set the starting value of the auto increments. The default value of the auto incremental is normally '1,' which can be changed by altering the table statement for the increment. In the following example, it has been set to start at '100.' The alter table statement usually occurs after the table has been created.ALTER TABLE itemorder AUTO_INCREMENT = 100;
Run 'Insert' statements on the MySQL command line or in an SQL file to the insert records into the table. The auto-increment field will automatically be updated in the table. The following example shows allows this can be achieved.INSERT INTO itemorder (customerid, staffid, serviceid, itemdescription, destinationid, weightclass, deliverytime, deliverycost, trackstatus, lasttracked)
VALUES ('5','234','98','headphones','789','14','7',9.65,'Order Received','16-05-2011');
The 'trackingid' field has been ignored in the field list, as it does not need to be included. It will be added automatically because it is an auto increment field.Therefore, if the starting value is '100,' the next value inserted into the auto increment field 'trackingid' will be '101.'

How to Start an EIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
Get funding for your e-commerce business if necessary. Consider taking a private loan from an individual you know in order to avoid high interest charges, or take out a bank loan. You can seek an angel investor, which is a rich individual who will provide you with funding. Alternatively, you can apply for grants from various businesses and the government to start your business.
Find an e-commerce website host, which is a company that will host your website on its servers. Most hosting companies offer several different hosting packages at different price rates, such as 'Basic' and 'Business.' You should choose a hosting package specifically for e-commerce websites; it will be tailored to a company's needs and bandwidth requirements, and may include perks, such as e-commerce tools.
Create your website if you have Web design programming and knowledge, otherwise hire a Web programmer and designer to do the work for you. Create a detailed website plan that lays out what you need and expect, and areas where you're open to input. Pay the programmer and designer in stages, and have all the details, including deadlines and payment info, laid out in a contract, which both you and the designers and programmers must sign.
Set up business bank accounts at your local bank, which is necessary to keep your personal and business finances separate from each other. Consider registering your business as a Limited Liability Company to reduce your financial risk.
Hire employees if necessary. For example, if your e-commerce business involves shipping packages all day long, consider hiring someone to do the packaging and shipping so that you can concentrate on customer service.
Hire an accountant to take care of your finances. It is important to keep accurate books and a detailed list of expenses so that your taxes at the year's end are accurate. You may be required to pay estimated taxes every quarter. An accountant will be able to advise you on all aspects of your finances, help you find deductions and pay your taxes on time.
