GETTING YOUR FEET WET IN WEB WATERS

EVERYONE ELSE GETS INTO THE WORLD WIDE WEB! WADE RIGHT IN. YOU ARE READY. You've been surfing the web, seen a lot of websites and probably wondered what their creators knew that you didn't. NOTHING. They probably are major BOZOS, sloshing down beers, touching keyboards with foamy fingers. But in truth, the answer is that ---besides having KNOWLEDGE about some specific field, their cottage industry, or their area of proficiency, which they were willing to share in articles that they wrote....(even a bozo with D's in English can create fine stuff with today's SPELLCHECK FEATURE,) -- the prime thing they had was that they knew how to e-mail their writings to their own website, a move called FTP File Transfer Protocol.

If even the worst beer jockey tekkie sat with you for approximately THIRTY SECONDS,  he could show you how to FTP. Transfer your files to your website. Takes no skill, just push a button or two while you watch them slide into place on the WORLD WIDE WEB!FREE SOFTWARE from CUTE- FTP too. Download it online in one minute.

EARTHLINK, MY SERVER gave me a SIGN UP OFFER 25 years ago: 10 free websites of ten megs each. Or I could pay a WEBHOST 4$ a month for one that holds more pages/ writing/ bytes nowadays 50 gigs or so but in my day, 100 megs or 200 megs of info was HUGE,a WESTERN PLAINS for fertile writers. Domain names are now free if you vow to stay with the WEBHOST for a few years. Do it. Takes a year for your name product or service to get famous.A year to reap the money harvest.

My first three EARTHLINK entirely FREE websites were http://home.earthlink.net/~astrology/ and http://home.earthlink.net/~anitaastrologer/ and http://home.earthlink.net/~loveguru/    I ran those polysyllabic babies for 10 years before I got a real website with WWW in its name. Another TEN YEARS and EARTHLINK ADVISED they were DISAPPEARING MY SITES that APRIL 1st 2020 they would END the freebie sites So don't go near these hoaxers. USE DOMAIN MONGER or EXACT HOSTING and get a great great webhost.

For a while there, I put two ads a day up at CRAIGS list and the ones that had the freebie names could get in whereas frequently CRAIGS LIST blocked http://www.luckinlove.com my no register, totally free training SEMINAR on a foolproof way to nail a fabulous mate. CRAIG NEWMARK would block a real website with WWW's in them! Not allow them in their ADS! IN THOSE days. Don't know what policy is now.  Ditto my other paid server http://www.masterjules.net  ---so I learned to make a copy of every article at the FREEBIE websites so that my ads could 'POINT TO THEM" with LIVE LINKS. (Wanna learn how to do CRAIGS ADS you read "HOW TO DO MULTIPLE ADS"

Your server MAY give you a 5$ website or 8$ and then what I can do is teach you how to fill it up and give you articles on the FREE FTP program I USE (CORE.com) although you probably have a few in your PC right now. Blind walk thru them. OR download a few free ones online. GOOGLE FTP SOFTWARE and add word "FREE".

NEXT, create a COTTAGE INDUSTRY. Something you do that you want to share with the public.It can be your ability to restring beads from vintage jewelry, into trendy neck hanging museum pieces for 100$ each! NECK DESIGN.COM or VINTAGEBEAD.COM. Maybe you can rebuild a Harley or Fry chicken for huge parties, (I feel the INTERNET is world wide and why just do a biz in your own town. That's wasting the RESOURCE that the internet is! SURE, fry the chicken, but also have a world wide clientele for your BIG BIZ

SECOND, Put out a huge amt of HOW-TO articles. How to restring vintage beads, how to GARDEN, HOW TO CLONE PERENNIALS. HOW to rebuild a chopper carb.

Create a cottage industry with a fairly large FREEBIE aspect to it. THEN, pack your ideas, writings, scribblings and those of other really wonderful writers on subjects as diverse as FRUGAL LIVING, PEACE vs WAR, THE IMF, TAXES, activism..... into the website.

C'MON, GO FOR IT. DO IT! TAKE THIS CHANCE to share your IDEAS, your web-research abilities, your nose for a story, your thinking & writing talent, -- All this TALENT that YOU HAVE, and build it into a website and from there, a cottage industry where you make mail order money right there in your home, taking care of the house, watering the yard, growing apples, going out to the mailbox for the day's haul of checks then coming in the house to do some internetting for a few hours a day. Here’s ways I've seen it done.

START BY CREATING A FREE NEWSLETTER. Do it right. Put a few interesting URLS you have seen, in a letter you send out once a week. Add a few jokes, give your newsletter a catchy title like 'TOPSY TURVY LAND" and mass e-mail it to the usual suspects, your pals, and ask them to get you pals to FORWARD it to, with a thing at the bottom saying, "if you like TOPSY TURVEY LAND, SUBSCRIBE by saying SUB ME in a reply. Remember, it's weekly and it’s totally free." Everyone will LOVE it and want to SUBSCRIBE and you get an auto sender. I never saw one, but I know they exist. Me, I hand send EVERYTHING. I make lists in NETSCAPE BROWSER EMAIL,"STARLIST, "HOROSCOPE LIST etc. They become uinstable with more than fifty names, so keep them smallish. Give your newsletter different sections’, HURLING URLS, for links you share or CONSPIRACY SECTION. RECIPES. And get the annual DARWIN awards for biggest bozos and throw it in, interspered with LENO's comment on that movie star. Start this way. "HI, it’s me and I’m HURLING you some more HOT URLS! We got some real fine LINKS today, go to http://www.weirdnews.com./pygmyrats.html  NOT REAL LINK! don’t click but what if it WERE  A great story about the new 2 inch long rats that are swimming in every toilet when you are asleep and which spread disease in your house while you sleep. SO that YOU WAKE UP WITH HANTA VIRUS!!! (only joking)..but see it's a riveting ARTICLE. HURL that URL to your list on TWITTER, FACEBOOK or the others AND GET CLICKED ON EVERY TIME CUZ U R FUNNNNNEEEE! They will be RECEPTIVE when they see you there in their box every day.

FIND YOUR SUBJECT OF EXPERTISE. With research, I become an expert on how to prevent the diseases in your own family tree. I wrote it up at my HOLISTIC INDEX   True, it's only a freebie URL, it's not ANITA'S REMEDIES DOT COM. but by not having a 4$ a month website I save 48$ a year which is a month of catfood. BETTER US MOOCHERS THAN YOU MOOCHERS.

MORE PHONY URLS COMING, DO NOT CLICK! Imagine http://www.GHOSTBUSTER.COM a great website by a professional psychic who says GHOSTS prefer to live in your CLOSETS near the clothing you took off that day! This one will make you shut the door at night and hang an altar cloth on it! (weird thing is, when I wrote this a decade ago there was no such website. Now there is.

Now, for you people who thought VITAMIN C was the way to heaven, THINK IT OUT AGAIN -- http://toxiclemon.com is your TRUTH TELLING SITE. (NO REALLY, actually NOTHING BAD ABOUT LEMONS but RESEARCH THE FACTS & ISSUES; See, you're giving people surprises, twists, information that's important and which they missed. AGAIN REGARDING LEMONS Hey I'm kidding. Nothing TOXIC ABOUT LEMONS if they're RIPE!. Slosh juice down between meals and clean your body. Just get the stuff off your TEETH REAL FAST!

So, go and research something you halfway know about. Maybe you thought childhood vaccinations were not very good for the baby, hear the truth about l00,000 deaths from vaccine . This one is real so research it. Google search 'vaccination deaths!' Google it and add the word JENNY so you get Ms McCarthy's work on the subject which is the latest stuff. Jen and Comic Jim Carrey are on a toot now, on this subject.

BURIED BONEYARD- Now, a really weird conspiracy. Who knew that a secret group inside the CIA has been dealing drugs to your children, for 60 years, to get money for dirty tricks, from drug sales. They've been in cahoots with LAOS, AFGHANISTAN, BURMA and CHINA on HEROIN DEALING and any and all American presidents who get elected do so because CHINA funds and the CIA says they’re OK. http://rense.com/political/ciadrug.htm and that's a real URL!  And apparently the CIA made money under the table dealing coke and heroin to American youth, very lucrative and they couldn't ask CONGRESS for that money...so? They jailed or killed our kids instead.

And another possible type mail out would be humor. Send it out with your BUSINESS's website somewhere on the letter as a live link. "Hi, gang, it's Joe's Cleaners. here’s our APRIL boffo set of yuks, some real funnies:

The Top 19 Ways to Annoy People...

REMEMBER for only a dollar a month you get 30 HURLING URLS, jokes and that works out to 3 pennies a day; I Don’t think I’m gonna break your back. Remember, I’m at 123 polkadot place, ZIP CODE. Just address that envelope now, drop a check or a buckola in that envelope and put it in your POCKET for when you GO OUT. THINK OF ALL THE FUN YOU GET OUT OF THOSE THREE PENNIES? You will be FORWARDING my cheapo but OH SO necessary, so important newsletter on to your other webpals and chat ICQ pals so you guys won’t run out of stuff to talk about. EVER." Then do SURVIVAL TIPS:

ANOTHER METHOD: Freebie GIFTS. TRADEBEADS. I send out seeds. Pick what you want from the list ANITA'S GARDEN FREEBIES SEEDS>

PC TIP of the DAY: SAVE anything you see on the net as TXT save it. Create a directory called HOLD. D:\HOLD or C:\HOLD. Then, go online and download a file manager that's better than explorer. http://www.ztree.com  is where. Then, install it and go into your HOLD CACHE with ZTREE, the fabulous file manager that makes EXPLORER look crippled. You can edit it, fix it, take out the postage stamps (internet routing markings)  then, save it in your HOLD DIRECTORY so it's ready to send to pals and you can collate by date, name for easy find AND EDIT it in text and word wrap it  but to really format your saved stuff, use WEBMONKEY a free, easy download HTML WORD PROCESSOR

So If you want to  WADE RIGHT INTO WEB WATERS and surf the net, always keep the HOLD DIRECTORY right in the "save to" window and when you want that file you saved, add the file to HOLD. Later, when you write pals, append it as an attachment or attached FILE to any email letter or even summon it up for INCLUDING in your HTM TEXT ARTICLES. GET A FILE EDITOR that works in TEXT MODE and shows coding at the flip of a key. ( BEST TEXT EDITOR is ZTREE .)

So visit http://www.ztree.comdownload the thirty day freebie software, then you’re off to the races SETTING UP YOUR "TREE" or DIRECTORY D:\ ANIMALS D:\BABIES or C:\COUNTRY LIVING.  And with ZTREE you are creating directories and GETTING INTO YOUR files via DOS, way down under the floorboards of Windows, and editing your text files, so they’re cleaned up and ready to SEND ON and that’s the game in web-land. Getting the info and saving it is HALF. The other, important HALF IS SENDING IT ON!!!

INTERNET TIP OF THE WEEK.  Did you know that you can DOWNLOAD ICQ and leave it on "GREEN FLOWER CODE" which means strangers can drop in and talk to you. I met a Russian, Turk, Canadian and a l7 year old girl named AURORA all in a single hour that way. It’s SO cooooool. Here’s the URL for TONSAPALS GOT TO http://www.icq.com/ .( I wrote this in 1995, don't know if it is still going.Guess FACEBOOK replaced it.)

THE IMPORTANT HOOK AT THE END. Last line on your newsletter reads: subscribe to TOPSY TURVY LAND by hitting reply and say "SUBSCRIBE in an email to ME, you get MY TIPS and scribblings once a week." That's all. Most of them will do it. If you're funny. This creates a growing circle of people familiar with you and your mind. That paves the way for stage two.I hear folks make $$ on YOU TUBE and DOOCE.COM lady made 40ka month on ADS! A Mommy Blog.

II. CREATE a COTTAGE BUSINESS ONLINE - Consider having a website that gives away a free service with writing, information and visuals. FREE YOGA CLASS, FREE FENG SHUI, Free clutter coach, or as I do, FREE ASTROLOGY, FREE DAILIES, FREE PALMISTRY LESSONS. And another site LUCK IN LOVE, HOW TO GET MARRIED, NOT DATED AND DUMPED. Make it something that is a.) super desired, and b.) super intelligible even to a ten year old. I never met a FENG SHUI lesson that is understandable. It’s hot right now. Create understandable lessons, supply information on any damn thing that’s hot on the website, and offer it for free.

III. CREATE A BLOG. The most famous one I've heard of is dooce.com My daughter adored it years ago, tooted me onto it. I saw she was funny. It's a Mommy Blog and then some. But guess what, She has so many readers, her ads bring her 40k a month. She was on MORNING SHOW, and NIGHTLINE both last week

IV. REGISTER your website AT SEARCH ENGINES. READ LIST OF THE BEST
http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/search-engines

IMPORTANT SUBJECT: Read up on how to get SPIDERS TO COVER YOU, add you to the LISTS:
https://www.godaddy.com/help/why-isnt-my-site-showing-up-on-search-engine-results-pages-6540

DO URL CHECKING REGULARLY so any links you had that died, you eliminate. A LOT OF YOUR FAVORITE HOW TO AUTHORS DIE OR QUIT.  THE GUY who knew how to live without MONEY finally died, his wife couldn't keep his websites going and I had to comb dozens of articles to find places where I HAD HIS LIVELINKS lined up like a dead Roman legion, and I had to Find a new URL which covered that subject and nobody DID so I had to do it. HOW TO LIVE HIGH WITH NO MONEY. and GUERILLA CAPITALISM 101 AND LIVE THE BLISSFUL FRUGAL LIFE

But there are more than 7,000 FREE CLASSROOMS ranging from  FREE FENG SHUI LESSONS or free CYBER YOGA CLASS. If I couldn't write it myself, I searched an engine and found someone who did. PS. I have a LIST OF SEARCH ENGINES for you! GOOGLE THESE WORDS "SUBMIT URL FREE" BEST SEARCH ENGINE  -- I came up with

http://www.submitexpress.com/submit.html

http://www.bestyellow.com/addurl.html

http://www.buildtraffic.com/submit_url.shtml
 

Next, put ads on CRAIGS LIST in every category, I get dozens of yahoo and hotmail addies to do this. I do the SUCCESS IN LOVE promo in the TALENT category at Craigs, where all the beauties are trying to find modelling jobs. I SAY 'GET OUT OF SHOW BIZ, take our free seminar on how to marry a billionaire, hobnob with the blue bloods," Or BECOME a holistic healer, read the HOLISTIC INDEX PAGE, etc. I do it at the LESSONS category.In the THERAPY category. Often in the GROUPS category. Or LESSONS category.

I CREATED a MASTER JULES website, PUT promo blurbs for it at CRAIGS also, as often as I can and in every city of Europe and ASIA as well as USA! I list his philosophy writings UNDER "GROUPS" also "LESSONS". EACH ad brings a harvest of contacts who want MORE of the JULES teachings sent them. (A a sample of URLS to four or five of his masterful, POWER-CONFERRING articles is is the ad!). Or who visit the website and read and write me rave letters of thanks for turning them on to his teachings, his amazing writings.

NEXT, get your mailing list full of names! From my CRAIGS LIST AD, I GOT 300 women for the LUCK IN LOVE AND MARRIAGE FREE SEMINAR, another 300 from the TSUNAMI ORPHANS P.R. MEDIA BLITZ ad at GROUPS....a blitz to get the TSUNAMI'd MUSLIMS to give up some of those kids...THE BROWSER has capacity to store thousand of names and addies. NETSCAPE VERSION 4.7 is my fave browser. Best mail client online. Then to SURF the web I go to MOZILLA FIREFOX. Fab Features like storing INFO ENTERED at WEBSITES, like GMAIL addies and passwords, even website URLS so that you get quick click surfing. NETSCAPE 4.7 which is vintage '95 doesn't have THAT! (BROWSER SECRETS)

So master those first few steps, NEXT reach out to your friends, the clients, and your NET READERS  the ones who are born students and write you and ask 'how do I put my hands when I do the yoga exercise?" EVERYONE who writes me ever ...I collect their addie and put it into the Netscape Vers 4.7 browser addie book. I then tell them, wanna be on a list? If I write another article on astral travel, I'll send it to you! They snap it up, you create a LIST in your NETSCAPE CLIENT INTERFACE BROWSER. And you stay in their face. Nicely I send MAIL OUTS on fun stuff EVERY SINGLE WEEK! Later, for some of the freebie stuff, collect donations for a pediatric maleria doctor in Africa, by saying 'send Juliana Otieno a fiver' and I give her Kenya address. Or I put a note out, you like the free weekly "POWER HOURS?" I used to say "Send a buck cuz it takes every Saturday and Sunday all day to write it. A dollar a month might seem like very little but what if you have 2000 visitors a month. YOu pay your bills with that FENGSHUI newsletter! so you go try it. I did 20 yrs or so one tip every six months then quit

I once put a counter on my website, and quickly realized I was having 1200 visitors a month, and this kept up at a regular rate for four years WOW. That means if everyone liked the DAILY/ HOURLY power hours things, like " JUPITER conjuncts MOON four pm today, which means TODAY LAUNCH BIG MONEY projects, Hustle, Pitch etc etc" --- if the readers sent me a dollar I’d have 1200 BUCKOLAS a month. But it turned out to be wishful thinking. WAIT FOR A TIP none comes unless you are slinging burgers in a public place. While I note the web traffic remains the same, my intimate web friend/fan thing GROWS INCREMENTALLY as one pal tells another--- my browser's addie book's bursting at its seams.NOT MY WALLET. So good. I began writing on LIVING WITH POVERTY, SCUFFLING, GETTING BY ON NOTHING which enriched my pages' CONTENT.

You'd expect that what happens is that the close friendships multiply incrementally. These are fans. If you're any good, they are. One month it's two new fans, then four a month, then eight, but it turned out to be a few twitter readers, not close, talking friends. I can forsee READERS being 1600 fans a month then 3200 then 6400!! BUT TWITTER has 300 subscribers to my free words,all attained when my Daughter Paloma posted on REO,ruining the rental market for the poor.

So I guess It’s baby steps you gotta take because you’re almost there. I watched Rumor Mill News go from a small circle of friends who listened to Rayelean and maybe knew of her thru books on her ex hubby. (George Bush Senior's pilot and Bush  Whistleblower.) And it expanded to a website that gets 200 thousand hits a day. SO you should definitely get a website up and ask RAYELEAN how she did it.

IV. CREATE AN ARCHIVE that YOUR FANS CAN SHARE IN. At the TOP of your WEBSITE, mount ITS ARCHIVE. This is an index page, like the front page of a magazine, listing ALL the articles, teachings, JOKES, ALL the URLS or LINKS you recommend, etc standing there permanently in CYBERSPACE. So this ARCHIVE or INDEX will grow. Go to http://www.rense.com and see how he handled this challenge. You will need several main pages, within a year.

The real test is what you mail out daily or semi weekly to folks that makes them feel friendly enough that they’ll part with a buck! GOOD ADVICE -- CHEAP, too being that it's free. Oh well, you can send me a dollar.
