Open an account at a web host that allows proxy websites. Many hosting companies do not allow proxies because they can generate a large amount of traffic that overloads the servers. Those that do allow proxy websites will typically prefer that you have a Virtual Private Server (VPS) or a dedicated server. Most hosts do not allow web proxies on a shared server.
Obtain a copy of PHProxy. This script acts as the software to power your proxy site. PHProxy is available free of charge, so anyone can make a proxy website without spending a lot of money.
Log into the control panel for your web hosting account. Create a MySQL database that will be used by the PHProxy script. Make note of the database name, user name and password that is associated with the database. This information is needed to configure the script to communicate with the database.
Edit the config.php file that is included with the script. Open the file with a HTML editor so that you can edit the contents of the file and save the new copy. Use Windows Notepad if you do not have a HTML editor. Simply open the file, edit the website name, website address, database name, database user name and database password. Save the file after the information has been edited.
Use an FTP program to upload all of the files to your hosting account. You can download a free copy of Filezilla FTP if you do not already have a program. Simply upload all of the files and folders included with PHProxy to your web hosting account. Your proxy website should now be operational.
Read the documentation that is included with PHProxy. Follow the instructions in the documentation to customize your script, such as changing colors, page layout or other visual elements. This will help you make a FTP website that stands out.

How to Open an Online Store for CheapIn Feburary 2016 25,
In Feburary 2016 25,
Find something to sell. If you are a crafter or have connections with suppliers, this part will be pretty easy. If not, there are sources online that will drop-ship products for you. That means that you get the orders through your website and collect payment, then you send payment to the company and they ship the products directly to your customer.
Design your website, or have someone else do it for you. See the Resources section below for some options for learning how to do it yourself. Some web hosts also offer website builders as part of their hosting packages, or you can buy software that will allow you to design a website with ease.
Sign up for an account with Mal's E-commerce if shopping cart software is not included with your web hosting. This free service allows ecommerce store owners to put a simple shopping cart on their sites. Orders can be viewed on the Mal's website.
Sign up for a business PayPal account. Processing payments through PayPal eliminates the need to qualify for an expensive merchant account to accept credit cards. Buyers can pay for purchases with a credit or debit card without signing up for a PayPal account, and they can also send e-checks if they do have an account. PayPal integrates nicely with Mal's E-commerce, and they have a free shopping cart of their own as well if you prefer to use it.
Optimize your site for the search engines. That means including lots of keyword-rich content. This can be accomplished with articles, descriptive category pages and detailed product descriptions.

How to Conduct a Business Meeting in JapanIn Feburary 2016 23,
In Feburary 2016 23,
When you meet your counterparts, bow. The Japanese do not shake hands, other than when Westerners would give each other a hug. They might make an exception for business meetings. Wait for the Japanese businessman to offer his hand. Introduce your colleagues by title and function as well as name.
Sit at the meeting table opposite from your hosts. Seat your delegation in reasonable order of rank. If you're the head of the delegation, take the best seat. In Japan, that is the one farthest from the door. If you are using an interpreter, make sure he or she (usually she) sits next to you.
Exchange business cards with all the other participants in the meeting. If you are head of the delegation, you will be expected to start. Do it like this: Face the person with whom you are exchanging cards. Hold your card with both hands. If you have Japanese cards, have the Japanese side up. Bow. Introduce yourself--say your name and your company. Thank the person for meeting with you. Hand over your business card. Listen carefully to the introduction by the person whose business card you are receiving. Take the card with both hands and look at it. Move on to the next person. Don't write on the cards and don't put them in your pocket, but keep them on the table in front of you.
Thank your hosts for agreeing to meet with you. Hand out your presentation material. Japanese businessmen usually appreciate if you send the material in advance, if possible.
Speak slowly and clearly (but do not exaggerate) in your presentation. By handing out material in advance, the Japanese can follow the presentation as you speak.
If you are using an interpreter, make make pauses to enable complete translation.
Tell your hosts that you can take questions during the presentation, if that is the case.
Don't be surprised if the Japanese do not say anything. They may not want to embarrass you with questions, or they might wait for their superior to ask questions first.

How to Open an Internet StoreIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Purchase a domain name for your store. A domain name is like the street address to a business. For example 'www.BestBuy.com' or 'www.apple.com' are domain names. You can purchase domain names from sites like 'godaddy.com' and pay a yearly amount. Prices for domains can be as low as $1.99 to $14.
Purchase web hosting for your online store. A web hosting company provides a shared or dedicated server for your website. Search for web hosts specifically for e-commerce sites--for example, ehostpros.com. Web hosting fees can start at $4 a month.
Find a web designer for your online store. A web designer will take your concept, images, and ideas for your website, then create your online store for you. You can locate web designers by going to freelance sites, such as 'Guru.com,' 'Elance.com' or 'getafreelancer.com.'
Determine what method of payments you can and will accept. PayPal and Google checkout are third-party processors that will accept checks and credit cards on your behalf for a percentage. Approval can take place in minutes.
Consider opening a merchant account. Instead of a third-party processor, such as PayPal, which costs more, you can actually open your own merchant account to accept credit card payments. You then can deposit funds into your checking account. You can go through your local bank to determine if it offers merchant accounts.
Advertise your online store. You can create banner ads, purchase ads via Google or utilize pay per click advertising. Pay-per-click advertising is a form of marketing where you only pay a certain amount of money if customers click on your ad to see your website. You can also advertise via online forums and online magazines.

How to Host an Email NewsletterIn Feburary 2016 15,
In Feburary 2016 15,
Create a unique HTML page for each article you wish to include in your newsletter. HTML, which stands for 'Hypertext Markup Language,' allows you to construct webpages and emails using a library of HTML commands. Use an HTML editor, such as FirstPage or Adobe Dreamweaver, for help creating HTML files. Code your HTML from scratch using a simple text editor like NotePad or WordPad, if possible. To 'code' an HTML page means to use Hypertext Markup Language to arrange the text and graphics in the manner in which you want them to appear on your page. Type or paste the text of your newsletter article, including the paragraph tags, font styles and other HTML code, into the HTML file you created using your HTML or text editor. Put a story title and the author's name for each item in the newsletter on a separate HTML page of the newsletter.
Upload the HTML web pages you created for your newsletter articles to your web server---this 'hosts' the files on your website. If you have a simple and easily accessible content management system, use it copy and paste the HTML you created. For example, third-party systems like Liferay and SiteRefresh allow users to log into a web application, create or update webpages and instantly push the updated content to their websites. Otherwise, upload your HTML files directly to your web server using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) access or whatever other means you use to add files to your website. Make note of the URL, including the 'http,' where you stored your files.
Create an HTML page for your email newsletter itself. Include a table of contents, brief descriptions of each article and links to read more. Associate the links in your email newsletter with the URLs for the articles you hosted on your web server. To create a link, type this HTML code into your email and update it to include your URL and link name:your link nameComply with the requirements of the CAN-SPAM (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing) Act by including your mailing address and an opt-out link in your email newsletter. The Federal Trade Commission created the CAN-SPAM Act in 2003 to combat consumer spam, so all email senders must comply with its requirements as a matter of federal law.
Combine your HTML email newsletter with a plain-text version of the same message and send it in MIME format to your subscribers. MIME stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME). Email marketers should send messages in MIME format because not all subscribers can receive HTML emails, and some spam blockers award higher spam scores to HTML messages that do not include a plain-text version.Use a third-party service to bundle and send the HTML and text versions of your newsletter to subscribers, or consult your web developer for assistance creating a script on your web server to send MIME messages. A script is a program that performs an intended action; in this case, the script would send your HTML and text messages to your list of subscribers. Test your message before you send it to your subscribers to ensure that the links to your hosted articles function properly.
