A Day of Computer Prohibition!

Imagine a day coming to the office and discovering that the Internet lines are down. Is it still possible for companies to operate in these circumstances? Definitely a bad day for the average company big or small, but these circumstances would be very different for the Internet marketer. Let us see why.

Not withstanding the fact that many big companies such as hospitals, airports managements do have their private "generators" to deal with such situations, the computer in the office world can be summed up in three grand chapters namely communications, information and data processing. For the Internet marketer, if these basics are obviously similar they do not tie him down to his computer due to him having created an automatic follow-up for the majority of them.

It would be interesting to test a day in the office with no Internet access. Are people still capable of hand-writing a message to their colleagues, using a flowchart or even conceiving one? How many offices out there have foreseen an emergency plan and are set-up for such a day, heaven forbid and is it conceivable? My point is that we are very much addicted to our computers granted that they do increase the speed of daily chores, they have albeit indeed stolen human contacts and personal touches and have made every monthly bill from these conglomerates all but humane.

Conversely, the Internet marketer - and we all need to be one* - should enjoy a day or two of computer prohibition sprinkled into our weekly lives. We would use that time very productively by visiting our friends, taking a walk and thereby doing some public relations (in a small manner) as well as taking a little distance from our business to conceive some possible improvements to its approach and future; business that in any case runs without our constant presence, because that is how it must be setup. One website, an auto-responder are the basics, and upon these two essentials an empire can be build with all compatible ramifications that in time get included. The "job" of the marketer will then profit from when the office is closed due to the dreaded local Internet failure.

Tangled in the World Wide Web? Avoid 2 Serious Online Mistakes

Reprint from: http://www.AgentsSalesJournal.com

August 2009 - Prospecting Corner

Written by Marilee Driscoll

Would you allow someone else to control the lease on your office space, your business phone number, or the renewal of your insurance license? Of course not! Being a business owner means having the responsibility to control and deploy assets that are important to your practice. And these days, your email addresses and Web site domains can be just as important to your business as a phone line. The way that you have purchased or leased these online assets may leave you vulnerable to a variety of avoidable risks. While setting up your online presence, make sure you are prepared for any later issues by avoiding two serious mistakes when it comes to establishing your Web address, your page design, and more. Mistake #1: Not owning your domain The most important thing you can do is to control your destiny by owning your domain name. The domain name is the part of a URL (uniform resource locator) that typically comes after "www." and ends with an extension such as ".com," ".net," ".org," etc. Your domain name is usually listed on your business card, as well as on any advertising you may place. People find your Web site on the Internet, by typing your URL into a browser (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox) or by conducting an Internet search on Google or some other engine and clicking on a result, which redirects their browser to a URL. The owner of a domain is called a "registrant," and that entity (it can be a person or another legal entity) controls the URL in the same way that the owner of a life insurance policy controls the policy. To keep things simple, you should be the registrant for any and all domain names you use. But here's the really important advice: Never, ever, obtain a domain through a reseller, even if they may you an offer to get your domain "on your behalf" for free when you purchase another service through them - usually a Web site and/or hosting. Why does this matter? Imagine that your Webmaster (or anyone else) purchases a domain that you use for your Web site (in this case, they are usually the registrant). You become unhappy with the service you are getting, and you want to switch to a new Webmaster or service. Well, like the insured who wants to change a policy that they don't own, they are at the mercy of the owner (in this case, the registrant). And there's no legal obligation to play nice. Your domain can effectively be held hostage while an expensive and time-consuming appeals process takes place. This type of situation is not, unfortunately, unusual. It happens all the time. A less malicious but equally difficult situation can happen when someone else acts as the registrant of your domain, and then becomes disabled or passes away. Will your domain be renewed (after all, it's the previous owner's credit card that's file)? What will their estate do with your domain? It should cost you less than $10/year to own your domain. The company that I use and recommend is www.GoDaddy.com (you've seen their ads on the Super Bowl). You can find other places to buy domains by searching for an "ICANN-accredited domain registrar." (ICANN is the worldwide organization that controls the Internet's naming system and can be found at www.ICANN.org.) Registering your domain has nothing to do with where your Web site is hosted; they are separate and distinct functions. Once you own a domain, you can have it hosted by any company, or leave it unhosted, if you like. You can also point a domain so that, when someone puts it into a browser, it points to another domain that is hosted. GoDaddy, for example, offers free pointing when you purchase a domain through them. Mistake #2: Not owning your Web site design If you hire someone to design a Web site for you, make sure that that they sign a contract before work starts and before any money changes hands stating that you own the Web site, that they are retained under what is called "work for hire," and that all copyright protection is transferred to you in exchange for the agreed-upon fee. Otherwise, like the photographer who takes a photograph, the creator/developer owns all the rights to what is created - in other words, your Web site. Also be sure to stay legal by checking the usage guidelines for clip art and any graphics you use on your site. You certainly wouldn't write a new application using someone else's name as agent. So don't make the similarly foolish mistake of abdicating ownership of the all-important online infrastructure of your business. Take the proper steps to keep everything under your name and your control, and you can avoid some unexpected but messy situations later on.
