Everyday thousands of new people are looking for online business opportunities. When they first start, one of most common mistakes they make is signing up for every opportunity that they find until they don't even know what they are promoting. Consequently, they don't make any money, and usually lose money in process.

You can’t make money without a website. I just can’t say that enough.

Otherwise, you'll probably end up in an MLM that will usually require you to buy something and then will have you running all over net looking for advertising for THEM. This is not a deal. What you want are partners that do not charge you to join, that you can advertise and send people to your website to see advertising. If you get quality products, people will link to your partners and you’ll get a commission after buying. You don’t sell product, you don’t take orders, you don’t handle invoices. etc. You lead your customers to quality things they want to buy. You can also sign up for any of thousands of "mini sites" available and put your link on your site to advertise it.

I recently visited a site by request from one of my Newsletter subscribers. He had quit advertising it because he's sent thousands of visitors there and not made any money. It was easy to see why before whole page loaded. He didn't have any theme. He had just listed one advertisement after another and sent people to site. Is this kind of site you're going to find "sticky" or visit again?

Three Simple Steps How To View Wireless Sites Using a PC's Browser WAP Search Engines WML Validators

The presence of wireless / mobile / hand-held world is becoming more apparent daily. With introduction of WML (wire less markup language) and creation of WAP (wireless application protocol) several years ago, ability of having not only a web site, but also a wireless web site is a reality. Actually, with never ending advances in wireless technology, having a wireless web site is really not an option, especially in business world.

Mobile devices provide access to basic information coupled with freedom from restraints of static desktop or less than always convenient, laptop. Innovations are allowing mobile devices, i.e. cellular phones, PDAs (personal digital assistants), and hand-held devices (pocket PCs, Palm Pilots, Blackberrys etc) to become increasingly more compact. To compensate for their small sizes, these devices are becoming more powerful with a variety of screen sizes and improved display and color capabilities. This is not to mention other wireless 'smart devices/appliances' that are also on horizon.

Because of their limited dimensions, wireless devices contain a special micro-browser which has limited capacities and is not able to present web sites written in HTML. Wireless web sites are written in WML, which is similar to and simpler than HTML. Understand that though simpler than HTML, WML is part of XML and as such syntax and rules are much stricter.

A wireless site is called a deck and 'pages' are referred to as cards. The particulars of writing code for a mobile device in WML is another subject. Rather let's focus on now that you have created a wireless web site, how to get it online so that it can be accessed by those using hand-held devices. So let's go.

Three Simple Steps

1. Adding a small amount of information to your current sever 2. Making a file called - .htaccess - and uploading it 3. Including one other line

As with HTML, there are WML editors and hosting companies that are available to put a wireless web site together and get it online. Some of hype tends to make it seem that only special hosting companies are capable of handling a site written in WML.

In fact, any service capable of hosting a web site host can also host a wireless web site, i.e. your current web site's host!

1. Adding Information to your Server

First, as you are aware, there are a number of different servers in use. The following steps apply to those whose host is using an Apache server or another NCSA-based server. A Windows server is another story and has different requirements to contend with. (see Openwave for specific information regarding Windows server). This step, as well as following steps, apply to Apache servers.

A few simple lines of information need to be added to your Apache server. They include;

DirectoryIndex index.wml addtype text/vnd.wap.wml wml addtype application/vnd.wap.wmlc wmlc addtype text/vnd.wap.wmlscript wmls addtype application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc wmlsc addtype image/vnd.wap.wbmp wbmp

These line allow your server to 'tell' a browser what type of document to expect. The 'wml' addtype lines refer to wml text, scripts, and applications. The 'wbmp' addtype line includes special image format that must be used for images on a wireless site, file extension of .wbmp.

2. Making - .htaccess - File
