Member You - File Hosting: Making Business Easier
Do-It-Yourself. It's a concept that has been around since the Fifties, coming at the height of the post-war homebuilding boom in the U.S. Retail stores and marketing gurus convinced us that we could do our own home repairs and alterations in our homes -- as a hobby, of course -- rather than hiring expensive professionals to do the work.So all of the DIY dads in America went to their neighborhood hardware stores and bought the necessary tools to fix the plumbing, replace the roof, put up the aluminum siding, build a patio, or just pound in a nail or two. Some of us had trouble just changing a light bulb, but we soldiered on nevertheless. We are still buying the concept -- and the tools, and the materials.Today we live in a different world, but the Do-It-Yourself model is bigger than ever. Now it is being applied in advertising and PR. You find it use
Best Uses
How can File Hosting help your business? Here are some of the most common applications of this technology:
Information Distribution: Anyone with a large text document to distribute to many recipients should be using file hosting. Realtors sending out bulky MLS listings, business that normally create information-heavy newsletters, even people with opt-in mailing lists. Placing your file on the web, and mailing a link to the file allows your clients to view the information when they have time, avoids jamming up their mailboxes, and in the event that they may still be working on dial-up, it prevents a very long delay while they download your file.
Client Reports/Status Updates: Businesses that need to send status reports, financial reports, or other sensitive information to clients or associates can use file hosting. Having a private login and password to enable a client to view, retrieve, or upload their own files helps them feel more secure ab
Two of my customers happened to meet in my office a few days ago. And, just by chance, they got talking about the problems that they experience when trying to phone their bank.Now I do not want to shame the bank by naming them. The complaints have already been made known so let’s give them a chance to fix the problem. However, the experiences of these people does make interesting reading. Especially if you are considering introducing a call centre system.One of these customers, Brian, wanted to speak to his bank manager urgently. The bank is located about one mile from Brian’s office but Brian was put off visiting the bank because of problems with traffic and parking in that part of town. So Brain decides to telephone his bank manager.It’s probably also worth mentioning that Brian is a very successful businessman and is considered to be a pre
Every business has email, and email itself has gone through many changes in how it is utilized. Beginning as a convenience, then becoming an essential business tool, email is used for everything from communications to advertising to sharing files. But in that respect, email is no longer the best tool to use – move over email, and make room for File Hosting!
Large computer files have become a staple in business. We don't gather at the conference table to view a chart anymore – we compile our data on the computer, and send it to everyone who needs to see it. When the internet was first gaining popularity, most businesses and individuals had dial-up connections – too slow to send someone a large file, or groups of files or photos. We talked to each other on email, but called Fed Ex to send CDs containing big files. Now most businesses use a high-speed connection, but email is still not the best choice for distributing large files securely.
Is email secure enough for your important files? We have identity theft, phishing, email spoofing. We also have more SPAM mail now than ever, and everyone from our hosting company to our ISP is looking for new ways to block the SPAM from ever reaching us. Many of us are finding that our large file attachments are being blocked, stripped, or otherwise prevented from reaching their intended recipients, because they look like possible SPAM. A big file, sent to multiple people, often has enough of the hallmarks of SPAM to get blocked. Large files are also apt to push limits set on the email boxes themselves: not everyone you send a file to will have the email capacity to receive it if they have other large emails coming in at the same time. It has become insecure and inconvenient to send large files through email, but there are other choices.
FTP
Many savvy business people began using their own web hosting space to transfer files. By uploading the file using FTP to a specific folder on the business' website, it is possible to then send a link to the file through email. The recipient gets a simple email that doesn't look like SPAM, and they can download the file at their own convenience. FTPing files to your webspace is certainly a good solution, and in terms of 'netiquette' it is preferable to filling up someone's email box with a huge file. The drawbacks to using FTP are that not everyone has a hosting/FTP account to upload files to, and not everyone is familiar enough with FTP and webhosting to use it. You may be able to upload a file for your clients, but they may not have the resources or skills to FTP one up for you. Giving numerous people access to you own FTP site is not secure, either.
File Hosting
File Hosting is a relatively new solution to this dilemma. It is a program provided by better web hosting companies, as a stand-alone offering that can be used independently of any hosting accounts . With file hosting, you are provided with an easy to use web-based interface that allows you to upload your large files and catalog and store them for use by co-workers and clients. File hosting interfaces allow you to generate and send an email containing a link to the file to all of your clients, so they can download and view it. File hosting also offers the ability to create unique logins for your clients and associates – you can give them each their own file space, with private access and passwords. With this feature, your clients can now download the attachments you send, edit them on their own computer, re-upload them, then send you a link to download the altered file.
While there are free file hosting services available, businesses should choose to use privately provided service supplied by reputable hosting companies. Free services make revenue from advertising on the file hosting interface – your clients might be logging in to retrieve your files, and be faced with an ad for a competing company. Paid services are very inexpensive, and offer a clean, professional interface with your company's name or other desired text displayed. Paid services also utilize faster servers, so that when your client downloads your reports or uploads changes to you, the process goes smoothly and rapidly, without lagging and long wait times.

My father taught me a good life lesson. You get what you pay for.I'm sure you can get a resume for cheap. I know without doubt that it's possible to write your own resume and get a great job with it.In the end, though, there's no substitute for good help. And that costs some money.Why pay more for a best-of-breed professional resume and cover letter writer? Because you want a best-of-breed job. You can try to pay less, but you won't get best-of-breed.You're likely to pay several hundred dollars (and it could be anywhere from $150 to $900) for a best-of-breed professional resume and cover letter writer. That cost buys you time. Time is money. The math is a no-brainer.If you had a job that paid you $4,500 gross every month in salary, and you contribute 5% to your 401(k), you're losing a little more than $0.34 every minute you're unemplo

Communicating effectively can sometimes be difficult to do. So here are some thoughts, based on borrowed wisdom, on how to communicate clearly – and make a better connection with the other person too.“To get your ideas across use small words, big ideas, and short sentences.” ~ John Henry Patterson.Keep it simple and don’t use jargon. Adjust your style according to who you are communicating with. Take responsibility by checking frequently that the other person understands the message you are trying to convey – don’t assume that your message is always clear.“People who talk only of themselves think only of themselves.” ~ Dale Carnegie.Find out about the other person. Focus on the other person – their needs, their wants, their situation. Build rapport instead of barriers. Show respect for them and for their views.“One of the most valuab

Writing a resume for your first job requires patience, attention to detail, and a little creativity. All job seekers need a strong resume if they want to compete for the best jobs. But while seasoned professionals can rely on their experience to generate initial interest from prospective employers, individuals hitting the job market for the first time do not have such a luxury. New professionals, therefore, need to work even harder to sell themselves to managers.To start your resume, you will need to select a resume format. A functional resume is usually the best choice for a new professional, since it allows you to present your qualifications by functional skills as opposed to purely chronological job order. Since your work history will be brief, if not non-existent, you want to place the emphasis on your skills and knowledge.Layout of a Functional

You are not sending their sensitive information out over general email – it is in a private account that they can access
Team Projects: Do you need to get the input of many team members? Do associates in different locations need the latest version of the file to work from? File hosting allows them instant web access to the file, and team members can make edits and adjustments, then re-upload and notify everyone of the changes made.
Information on the Move: File Hosting is even appropriate for home and personal use, for the reasons mentioned above. Friends and family will appreciate receiving your emailed link to all the family reunion pictures, rather than trying to download them from an email. The convenience of being able to get the file when the time is right, without over-filling an email box, is just as appreciated at home as at work.
Technology is always changing and improving, and making use of these professional services helps keeps your business competitive. File hosting is the kind of improvement that makes sense to adopt – it eases communications and group project work with an interface that can be used by anyone. No more rejected, lost, or incredibly slow moving emails – share your files in a fast, secure, professional environment. Keep your business moving by working smarter.
