Gather some samples of your best work. You can use photos of your family and friends or photos of nature or animals. If you don't have many samples, volunteer to photograph a local event or a friend's wedding in exchange for the rights to use the photos in your portfolio.
Create a portfolio. Choose photos that demonstrate the range of your skills, using different poses, different lighting and different subjects. You will use this portfolio to show potential clients when you meet with them.
Create a business website. You can attempt to do this yourself, using tools offered by website hosting services, such as GoDaddy's Website Tonight, or you can hire a professional web designer to create one for you. Many potential clients will research a photographer on the Internet before contacting him, so your website should include quality samples of your work and an easy method for contacting you.
Ask for referrals from family, friends and former clients. Offer your clients a discount or a free sitting fee on future appointments with every referral they send your way.
Get some quality business cards. Display your contact and website information on your cards, and hand them out every chance you get. You can hire a graphic designer to design your business cards, or you can design them yourself using tools available through VistaPrint or another printing service.
Place ads in local publications. If your local newspaper offers a special insert related to weddings in the spring, be sure to place an ad in it. Keep an eye out for any special publications in your community that are targeted towards brides, seniors, graduation or other special events that hire photographers. Place an ad in as many publications as you can afford.
Obtain a listing in the Yellow Pages. Many potential brides will look in the Yellow Pages for a list of photographers if no one has been recommended to them by family or friends. You don't want to miss out on potential business by not having a listing in the photography section of the Yellow Pages.

How to Become a Computer ResellerIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Decide what you will sell--and from where. You can rent a storefront and sell computers, parts and accessories from several manufacturers, or just specialize in products from one or two companies. Contact manufacturers for their policies regarding reselling and find out what distributors they use. Some companies, such as Panasonic, offer programs for resale partners.
Secure a 'DBA' (doing business as) certificate in your state. Check on additional business tax and licensing procedures for your area. Some locales also require sales tax licenses for retail businesses.
Advertise online and in the phone book. Create a website for the business, even if you intend to sell primarily from a retail location. If you intend to sell computers and parts over the Internet as well as in a retail store, use clear photos of sale items on the website with short, clear descriptions of each product.
Establish an online only computer resale business. You can do this by by joining with an e-commerce supplier that provides hardware and software from major manufacturers to their partners. Computers and parts will be drop-shipped directly to your customers from a warehouse. You store no inventory. This type of operation works for people who don't have the money to open a store or room to stash computers and parts for on-location shipping. There's a start-up fee needed with this type of venture, but companies like Inetstart offer support for resellers, including tech and website-building information.
Set your prices. Make sure they are competitive, but don't set them so low that you will lose money. Compare your pricing strategy with that of other local stores, and stay in the same range. Also, consider who your buyers will be. If you're in a college town, your clients will probably buy more but have less money to spend on each purchase. Develop your sales plan according to market situations and your customers' needs.
Offer warranties, repairs and IT (information technology) services to keep customers coming back. Prepare service agreements for customers so they will come back to you to solve any problems or add to their existing systems, instead of going directly to the manufacturer or to another supplier. Provide personalized attention to maintain customer loyalty.

How Do I Renew an Expired Digital Certificate?In Feburary 2016 26,
In Feburary 2016 26,
Digital certificates use an encryption system to transform and protect data transmissions. Information encryption occurs using at the sending site with a public key and decryption occurs at the receiving site with a private key. An optional timestamp will identify the day and time of issue, ensuring the digital signature is valid, even if the certificate expires. If the certificate authority does not offer timestamping, all digital signatures made using the certificate become invalid after the certificate expiration date.Any website that requests your personal information should have a valid digital certificate. One indication that the website is secure is the appearance of a dark green bar in the address bar along with URL initials 'https' versus the traditional 'http.'Every digital certificate has an expiration date. Digital certificate renewal and issuance of new keys help to prevent deciphering of key combinations and theft of private information. Approximately 90 days before the expiration date, the certificate holder will receive a notice of expiration, along with information on how to renew and receive a new encryption key. If renewal does not take place within this time frame, the certificate expires and visitors to the website receive a warning message.
Renewing Expired Certificates
Whether renewing before or after the expiration date, the certification authority verifies current information and issues new keys. Some certification authorities have a small window of time within which they will restore the digital certificate without requiring the holder to repeat the initial application process. After this time, renewal requires full “vetting” before the digital certificate can become valid. For example, at Go Daddy the standard policy is a 30-day window for renewal of an expired certificate. After 30 days, the holder must resubmit all information and go through the verification process before Go Daddy will renew the certificate and issue a new key (See References 1). Other certification authorities, such as GlobalSign, require the holder to renew prior to the expiration date or file an application for a new certificate.If renewing an expired digital certificate within an acceptable window of time, the process can be complete as a normal renewal. Access your user account and follow renewal instructions. If the certification authority does not allow renewal of expired certificates, you will receive instructions to complete a new application.
Consequences
The biggest disadvantages to allowing a certificate to expire are potential loss of business and the time it will take to receive a new certificate. Visitors to the website receive a message via a pop-up box stating that verification cannot be completed and their information may not be secure. While visitors have the option to continue regardless of potential security risks, many will choose not to. Renewing a digital certificate is a simple process that can be complete within a few hours and ensure seamless continuation of secure data transmissions. Allowing a digital certificate to expire will require additional time to verify information, adding days to the potential for loss of business.

How to Find Where a Web Site Is HostedIn Feburary 2016 25,
In Feburary 2016 25,
Do a 'whois' search. This is a search that shows you who has registered a domain. There are many sites that allow you to perform this search; see Resources for just a few examples. The site WhoIsHostingThis.com offers the simplest results; typing in a website address will yield the very simple result: 'xxx.com is hosted at xxx.com,' as seen in the image.
Read through the results of a more complex 'whois' search, such as one done through GoDaddy's 'whois' search. In the example in the image, Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. shows the website DesignLogicMedia.com is hosted at GoDaddy. The administrative and technical contacts show DomainsByProxy, meaning privacy restrictions were put into place to prevent the address and phone number from showing up and being available to spammers.
Call or e-mail the administrative or technical contact, if it is listed, for further information.
Go to the website itself as an alternate to, or in addition to, a 'whois' search. Often, the website will have information on where it is hosted. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and you may see 'Hosted by' and the name of a company.
Contact the person listed as webmaster on the website itself. Depending on the circumstances, that person may be willing to offer you information.

How to Host an Email NewsletterIn Feburary 2016 24,
In Feburary 2016 24,
Create a unique HTML page for each article you wish to include in your newsletter. HTML, which stands for 'Hypertext Markup Language,' allows you to construct webpages and emails using a library of HTML commands. Use an HTML editor, such as FirstPage or Adobe Dreamweaver, for help creating HTML files. Code your HTML from scratch using a simple text editor like NotePad or WordPad, if possible. To 'code' an HTML page means to use Hypertext Markup Language to arrange the text and graphics in the manner in which you want them to appear on your page. Type or paste the text of your newsletter article, including the paragraph tags, font styles and other HTML code, into the HTML file you created using your HTML or text editor. Put a story title and the author's name for each item in the newsletter on a separate HTML page of the newsletter.
Upload the HTML web pages you created for your newsletter articles to your web server---this 'hosts' the files on your website. If you have a simple and easily accessible content management system, use it copy and paste the HTML you created. For example, third-party systems like Liferay and SiteRefresh allow users to log into a web application, create or update webpages and instantly push the updated content to their websites. Otherwise, upload your HTML files directly to your web server using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) access or whatever other means you use to add files to your website. Make note of the URL, including the 'http,' where you stored your files.
Create an HTML page for your email newsletter itself. Include a table of contents, brief descriptions of each article and links to read more. Associate the links in your email newsletter with the URLs for the articles you hosted on your web server. To create a link, type this HTML code into your email and update it to include your URL and link name:your link nameComply with the requirements of the CAN-SPAM (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing) Act by including your mailing address and an opt-out link in your email newsletter. The Federal Trade Commission created the CAN-SPAM Act in 2003 to combat consumer spam, so all email senders must comply with its requirements as a matter of federal law.
Combine your HTML email newsletter with a plain-text version of the same message and send it in MIME format to your subscribers. MIME stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME). Email marketers should send messages in MIME format because not all subscribers can receive HTML emails, and some spam blockers award higher spam scores to HTML messages that do not include a plain-text version.Use a third-party service to bundle and send the HTML and text versions of your newsletter to subscribers, or consult your web developer for assistance creating a script on your web server to send MIME messages. A script is a program that performs an intended action; in this case, the script would send your HTML and text messages to your list of subscribers. Test your message before you send it to your subscribers to ensure that the links to your hosted articles function properly.

How Do Websites Work?In Feburary 2016 23,
In Feburary 2016 23,
Websites are essentially a group of associated files that are displayed through a web browser. Web browsers can read various types of programming languages; however, the most common websites are written in hypertext markup language (HTML) and are parsed and displayed via a web browser. The simplest website can be one HTML file, while more advanced websites can consist of an infinite number of interrelated files.
Components of a Website
HTML is essentially a structure-based language. That is, people can place the content that they wish to display in an HTML file. Further, they can expand their website by placing links within the HTML file to other files or web pages. In order to take care of the design aspect of a website, a CSS file (cascading style sheet) must be created. This CSS file can change design aspects of a website including color, font style and position of images. A link to the CSS must be placed in the HTML file.
Publishing a Website
Once the HTML files and CSS file have been created, they must be transferred somewhere in order to be published and viewable via the web. In order to publish your website, you will need to upload the files of your website to a web server. This is essentially a hard drive that is interfaced via the Internet. You can gain access to a web server through a web hosting service (see Resources). The web hosting service will also provide you with a URL, which is a permanent location where your site can be accessed. Your main page, or your homepage, should be renamed to index.html. This will be the page that the web server will display when your URL is entered into a web browser.This describes the most basic way that a website works. You create files, upload them to a web server, and view them through a URL. There are, however, much more complex database-driven websites that may function differently.

How to Start a Job Finder WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
Source companies who use job listing sites and contact them to post to your site. Research the fee schedules of other sites to determine market rates and set your fees. Some sites charge a fee to the listing company, some charge job seekers a subscription fee to access the listings, and some combine both practices.
Choose a Domain and Hosting Service
Research the domain and hosting services available to compare pricing, features, and benefits. Choose one that fits within your budget. Many services may discount domain and hosting if combined with other options such as email accounts and site security.
Design Your Website and Marketing Collateral
Choose an open source (free) software platform on which to build your website. You can save money by designing your own website and marketing materials but only consider this option if you have design talent. Your materials should look professional. WordPress is one of the most user-friendly platforms and many free and low-cost premium themes are available to create the look and feel you want for your site. There are many tutorials and videos online to help you quickly learn to use the software. Additional marketing needs, such as business cards or an email service, can be obtained online at low prices.
Begin Your Marketing Campaign
Let people know what you’re doing. Use social networking to provide the most public reach for free. You can post announcements on your personal Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and other pages and use your Twitter feed. Incorporate hashtags to target people with specific interest in hiring or job finding.
Offer Additional Value
Monitor to remove filled positions and keep your job listings current. Provide valuable content on your site such as a blog with posts on interview tips, resume advice, and additional resources job seekers would find useful and post fresh site content often.

How to Rename My DomainIn Feburary 2016 19,
In Feburary 2016 19,
Buy a new domain name from an online seller such as GoDaddy.com, Domain.com or CheckDomain.com. You usually hold the name for one or two years. Selecting 'auto renewal' means the company will automatically charge you at the end of that period, so you can keep the domain name for another year or two years. As of 2010, it usually costs $10 to $20 per year.
Log into the control panel of your hosting account. You already have this if you have been running a website under another domain name. Otherwise, buy hosting (space on the web to hold your website)from a site such as HostGator.com, GoDaddy.com or ASmallOrange.com.
Go to the 'Domains' section of your hosting account. If the service allows you to change the domain name manually, the relevant heading will be something like 'Primary Domain' or 'Change Primary Domain.' Click to enter the section, type in your new domain name and click 'OK' or the equivalent to confirm.
Log into the program you use to design, edit and publish your website. Publish the website, entering the new domain name or ftp address (available from your hosting provider) and password when prompted.
Alternatives
Email or phone your hosting provider directly to request a change to your primary domain name. Some providers do not allow you to change the domain name manually. Tell them your new domain name and republish the website when the provider confirms the change.
Log into the control panel of your hosting account, go to 'Domains' or the equivalent section, select 'Forward Domain' and enter your new domain name. You do not have to republish. Typing the new domain name into the address bar takes users directly to the site under the previous domain name.
Select 'Mask domain' when adding the forward domain if you do not want users to be able to see the old domain name. It will still direct users to the previous site, but only the new domain name will be visible in the address bar.

In Feburary 2016 19,
Create a business plan for your online self-defense and personal protection business using a word processing application. Outline your business mission, goals and steps to achieving success.
Research with your state business legal structures, licenses and permits. Although your primary mode of business will be online, it's best to check with your state to make sure you're starting your business legally and with proper protocol to avoid fines.
Create separate accounts and filing systems for your online self-defense and personal protection business. With this business you will need to keep impeccable records and be very organized.
Research the self-defense and personal protection industry. Attend seminars, classes and demonstrations regularly to keep your knowledge fresh. Subscribe to media that focuses on the industry.
Obtain business communication services such as a website, phone number, email, etc. for your business. Prior to purchasing website hosting services, speak to technical support representatives with various hosting companies to compare your hosting needs to their capabilities. With an online self-defense and personal protection business, you will need some, if not all of the following features: video hosting and streaming, merchant services, site registration and member-only areas.
Create a branding and marketing materials package for your business to portray a professional image. This includes: business cards, stationary and website design and development.
Film basic self-defense videos to post on your site to get people interested in your products and services.
Create exclusive sections of your site for paying members. These sections should be updated at least once per month. This gives you the opportunity to create residual income from monthly subscriptions to your site.
Create self-defense and personal protection packages to sell on your site. This gives you the opportunity to earn money from specialized and more custom packages. These packages should be more expensive than the monthly options and can include prefilmed videos as well as live video conference-styled lessons.
Market your business via digital directory listings, social networking sites, family, friends and the media. Depending on your budget, you may want to purchase ads on sites relating to self defense and personal protection or do media trades with related companies to gain exposure.
Update your site regularly and stay abreast on self-defense and personal protection news and techniques as well as companies you are competing with for business.

How to Embed Audio in HTMLIn Feburary 2016 17,
In Feburary 2016 17,
Choose an audio file. You can use an mp3 or .wav file. If you do not have an audio file, make one using any one of the freeware or shareware programs available on the Web.
Upload the audio file to your webserver. Select the file to play on your website and make sure it is in the same directory as your website. To play an audio file on a blog that is hosted on a different server, upload the audio file to a free Web hosting company.

How to Become a Web Hosting ResellerIn Feburary 2016 15,
In Feburary 2016 15,
Shop around for the best prices. Many well known web hosting companies offer wholesale space to resellers.
Choose a web hosting package. If it is a 'whole' package, you will need to decide how you want to split it up. (A 'whole' package comes in one big block of space, instead of several pre-split mini packages.) Once your package, set your prices.
Design your own website to sell the packages. You want people to know that you are a reliable web hosting seller and a professional looking website will send that message. If you can't design the site yourself, hire a professional designer.
Market your website anywhere you can. Forum signatures and link exchanges are great and affordable places to begin. This is an important step because there is a lot of competition in web hosting reselling and ads are the only way to bring in new customers. You can also use search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, so that your website will rank higher with major search engines.
Put 25 percent of your profit back into your business to buy more space, advertise and update your website.

In Feburary 2016 14,
Determine a suitable name for your business. Select a simple, easy-to-remember and catchy name ending in '.com'--as you will be offering commercial services. The name you choose for the domain should reflect the nature of your business. For instance, if you are selling gardening tools on the Internet, your website's name should clearly indicate that it sells gardening equipment. However, you will have to be flexible while choosing the name because you will come across competitors with similar names. For this reason, you have to aim for a name that clearly indicates your services, while still managing to have it be different and innovative.
Look for places to register a domain name for your business. You can find some domain registering websites in Resources below.
Check on the domain registering website if your desired domain name is available. If the one you had in mind isn't available, try looking for anything similar. Shopping for an Internet domain is tricky. Different websites have different plans and prices so you will have to look around for best rates.
Find a hosting website for your business. Generally, the website that sells domain name offers hosting services as well, but you should consider looking at other hosting plans. According to webhostingchoice.com, the 10 best web hosting choices are Host Monster, Just Host, Web Hosting Pad, i Page, Blue Host, In Motion Hosting, Host Clear, Host Gator, Go Daddy and Yahoo.
