IT support stuff

http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

Bart's PE Builder helps you build a "BartPE" (Bart Preinstalled Environment) bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC maintenance tasks.

It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on.
This will replace any Dos bootdisk in no time!

online business success tips

sales letter
You need a really good sales letter...you know, the ad copy, It’s the key, but a lot of people don’t know how to write and that’s why in my book I tell them exactly how to write a sales letter. You know the main key of a sales letter is this...have you ever heard of "feel, felt, discovered?" That’s the key... you have to tell people that you feel like they feel, that you felt that way, before you discovered that solution. Emotion sells!

Get emails

Follow up
Make a follow up letter to follow up automatically

Reduce distraction on page
Use white background with black letters. Minimize links to other page that will send visitors to other page

Dont advertise. Tell story instead.
People don't like advertisement. They hate it. But they love to hear story, what happen to you or other people with problems and how they solve the problems, testimonials..

Make friends. Don't spam
Try to personalize. Don't send spam to people. Start by contacting and offering something they like to have such as link exchange and other helps. It is a good idea to contact webmaster and website owner's that have a lot of subscribers or visitors and offer something to him. They will help you in return.

Start small grow BIG

All startup tips and tricks will be gathered and listed here.

Impression is the most important thing for startups. People don't know you and the only thing you have is the IMPRESSION. So always do well and be good.

Do rather than just write and talk. Just do it. Show something people can see on what you can do and what you have been doing. Produce a good prototype and show them diagrams instead of just text that tell them about what you are doing.

Your first customer wll always be your closest family members, friends and neighbors. Try to find new customers within 10-minute drive from your location (office or home).

Involve and contribute in society and get to know more people as you will get more contact and most probably more customers in the future.

Business is always start with LOST. So plan ahead to survive for first few years.

If you don't have money to invest, then invest your time and skill in your business. But make sure the investment is worthwile

PEAR Installation

PEAR = PHP Extension and Add-on Repository

After you have downloaded and installed PHP, you have to manually execute the batch file located in e.g. c:\php\go-pear.bat. The setup will ask you some questions and afterwards the PEAR Package Manager will be installed in the path, which you have specific during installation.

Finally you have to add that installation path to your PATH environment
(Start > Control Panel > System > Environment).

After that you can access the PEAR Package Manager by running the command pear in a Windows Command Prompt.

To update your PEAR installation from go-pear.org, request http://go-pear.org/ in your browser and save the output to a local file go-pear.php. You can then run
