    FAQ Software

    MARKETING 
    Okay ... on the hunt for a solution ... found this video on how to create a FAQ in word (so I am passing it on) ... found it very helpful. Not quite sure if I can convert the final product to html code (yet) ... but I'll keep ya posted.

    Business Card Tip

    PEOPLE 
    Well ... my thinking is ... if you need to look at my card to remember what I do ... or what the significance of our meeting was ... the interaction must not have been all that productive in the first place. I'm not expecting my business card to bail me out. 99.9 percent of business cards are...

    Business Card Tip

    PEOPLE 
    One of the problems I've experienced with business cards over the years is that their content is fixed. Every time I make a change to my business ... move ... change numbers ... start a new business .... etc ... the last set of cards often become obsolete ... maybe even useless. And (of...

    Interesting idea ... EC2 ... not 100 percent sure how comfortable I am with the concept ... but that is an excellent suggestion. I will ponder it. Thanks!

    Anticipating Future Server Requirements

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I am about a month or so away from launching a niche dating site. For the time being -- while the site is under development -- I have it hosted on a VPS. Once I am ready to go live I will switch over to a dedicated server. My initial problem is I am not sure what type of server I will need...

    Do Emails Legal Joint Venture Or Not?

    The critical issue is whether there was a "meeting of the minds" (mutual intent to form an existing joint venture). Of course, no one can read your respective minds, so it would be based on your communications and conduct. Sounds like you've got yourself into quite a mess. Litigation may be...

    MJ's Second book? What's in it?

    Use of TM is prudent ... puts others on notice that you intend to assert a mark as a trademark ... but it not required. Trademarks arise by operation of law. The most prudent means of safeguarding a Trademark is by registering it with the Patent and Trademark Office. Registering affords...

    MJ's Second book? What's in it?

    Looks like (possible) Trademark infringement to me. Trademarks are not "owned" (like a copyright) but are (rather) marks held in the public trust to avoid consumer confusion as to the good's origin when a mark acquires brand affiliation in the public eye. It is certainly foreseeable (to me)...

    Cloudflare

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Anyone here used CloudFlare for their site ...? (... and if so ... what did you think of it?) $20 Per month for Cloudflare Pro seems reasonable enough to me ... but I've not used it yet. Any observations, good or bad?

    Qs re: Custom Code Modifications to my First Dating Site

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I purchased rights to open-source dating software, and sent out a proposal for substantial modifications to a programmer who came highly recommended from another dating site owner using the same platform. I was quoted two prices and two options, Here is what he said: "After clearly...

    Should your life change as you get older?

    I don't see a problem with that. Clearly you are doing what you enjoy doing. That's the whole point of this exercise. As I see it, the problems arise when you are doing things you do not want to do ... or not doing things you would otherwise like to do. So forget about what the "normal"...

    Help! Investor wants to invest in my business!

    I think there is a big difference between a Joint Venture and a Partnership. In a joint venture ... I am still in complete control of my business. A partner cannot dissolve it or otherwise interfere with its control. There is a contract assigning rights and responsibilities ... yes ... but it...

    Help! Investor wants to invest in my business!

    What percent of your business should you offer him ...? That's easy. ZERO !!! Let's me repeat that (in case you missed it) ... Z-E-R-O ... Zero. To quote the esteemed (self-made billionaire) Felix Dennis: "Never, never, never hand over a single share of anything you have acquired or...

    Started a new forum - Advice appreciated

    Instead of spinning it as a site for "tourists" ... why not spin it as a site for locals? Here is my thinking: If 90 percent of your visitors were tourists ... the forum would not be very interesting. If, for example, the you started a site for tourists in Ubekistan and asked the members of...

    I'm having a serious problem

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I beg to differ. You know EXACTLY what's wrong with you right now. You just said it. You are chasing money. You should be chasing NEEDS. Look at what you just wrote. You want to flip your "lawn care business" ... into a "commercial cleaning business" ... and then flip that into a "real...

    MJ, please remove affiliate links in posts (VigLinks)

    I had a similar problem on my Desktop with something called "Text Enhance." Exact same thing. Malicious Adware that infects your browsers and turns text into links to spam sites. Took me a while to figure out how to purge this (highly annoying) feature from my browsers. Norton was useless...

    Rules & Regulations, LAWS

    That was cool, M.J. Never seen that "LMGTFY" feature before. Learn something new every day ... To the O.P.: There is no simple answer to your question (too broad). Kinda like asking ... "I want to open a doctor's office ... what do I need to know?" Beats me ... just have to start...

    How to or should I respond to request for info from Better Business Bureau

    I would not pay to join them. Money aside ... to get (paid) "BBB accreditation" they have all sorts of rules and regulations they insist you abide by ... F*ck THAT. I hate rules ... and regulations ... and any other bullshit attempt by anyone (public sector or otherwise) to tell me how to run...
