How to Create a Talk Show on YouTubeIn Feburary 2016 27,

In Feburary 2016 27,
Set up a YouTube account. Go to YouTube.com and click 'Sign Up' and fill in the form with your information. You'll be able to sign in and upload videos once your account has been created and activated.
Create a set for your talk show. It can be as casual or formal as you like, just make sure the area is well lit and free of ambient noise.
Develop a concept and content. This will not only help you plan your shows and determine who to book as guests but will also help you to establish an angle to distinguish your show from the millions of other videos on YouTube. Go with what you're interested in, whether it be a lighthearted showcase of your friends' talents or a chance to interview local public figures who are making a difference in your community.
Videotape your first episode. Make sure to practice with your camera before filming to avoid any mishaps.
Connect your camera to your computer with a USB cable or docking station. Transfer the video file to your computer and save it so you can upload it to YouTube.
Log into your YouTube account and click 'Upload Video.' Give your video a title, description, video category and tags. Set your broadcast, date and sharing options and then click the button that says 'Upload a Video.' YouTube accepts such video formats as .wmv, .avi, .mov and .mpg.
Click 'Browse' when you get to the next page. Find your video file on your computer, double-click on the file and click on 'Upload Video.' The page will say 'Upload Complete' if your video uploaded correctly.
Set a schedule for your show. You can tape once a day, once a week or once a month, but keep in mind that writing and recording a show will take a good chunk of time. Think about how much free time you have and take that into account when you're setting your schedule.

How to Host a Trade Show Networking EventIn Feburary 2016 26,

In Feburary 2016 26,
Reserve a venue several months in advance and make sure it will accommodate the crowd size you're anticipating. An event doesn't have to be in a huge convention center to be a successful trade show. Look into conveniently located banquet halls, hotels, churches and schools.
Seek out sponsors to help defray the expenses of the trade show. Radio stations and newspaper publishers make great sponsors as you can generally barter free advertising in exchange for booth space at event.
Layout your floor plan and solicit vendors. Draw a detail of the setup and allow vendors to choose their booth space. Be sure and give your sponsors exhibit areas that are larger than the average booth space.
Line up some entertainment to help attract crowds and keep visitors there longer. Invite subject matter experts to speak or give demonstrations and schedule them well in advance so you can include the information in your advertising.
Send vendors an exhibitor's kit 4 to 6 weeks before the trade show. Include a cover letter thanking them for their participation and a list of things they need to know such as setup and tear down times, loading dock access, venue restrictions and contact information.
Prepare your marketing materials and get them distributed in the weeks prior to the trade show. Use posters, ads in newspapers or magazines, radio spots and flyers distributed through a chamber of commerce, school or other outlet that pertains to the theme of your event.
Set up the exhibit and staging areas a day or two before the event, depending on its size. Then allow vendors in the night before or early the morning of the show to set up their booth displays.

How to Plan a ConventionIn Feburary 2016 23,

In Feburary 2016 23,
An organization’s goals for a convention are not always the same as the convention attendee’s goals. Learn the organization’s reasons for hosting the convention. It might be to attract and retain members, generate profits, provide board and committee members with a vacation perk or generate media publicity for the organization.
Set Your Tactical Plan
Once you know your strategic goals, set your tactical objectives for reaching them. These can include choosing seminars and speakers to attract specific attendee types, having a revenue-producing trade show, adding spouse activities to increase attendance, organizing social functions such as a golf tournament or river cruise, having an awards banquet or conducting an annual vote of the membership. Your marketing plan should include the advertising, public relations, promotional and social media strategies to promote the convention.
Plan the Budget
Determine the organization’s financial goals for the convention, and review your numbers. You might be limited to a specific budget if the convention is an expense. The organization might have a profit target, or you might be allowed to spend based on your expected revenue. Create projections based on optimistic and conservative registration and sponsorship revenues.
Outline Your Agenda
Next, plan your event agenda. Choose your date, venue and activities. Many conventions have a theme that explains the event’s overall purpose and helps attract attendees. You might need to solicit input on dates and potential locations from your board or attendees and conduct site visits to multiple venues before you choose one. Review information about previous conventions to learn about venues, attendance, financial performance and attendee and sponsor feedback. Create a calendar that starts with attendee check-in and outlines each day’s schedule.
Research Logistical Needs
Begin contacting venues, speakers, caterers, entertainment options, audiovisual companies, printers and travel companies. Determine how to handle marketing, registrations, sponsorships, badges, check-ins, trade show booths, gift bags, program books and website pages. Send requests for proposals for external vendors such as resorts, caterers, golf courses and travel agencies. Put together your desired vendor list and costs.
Write a Proposal
Prepare a document that shows your board or convention team your plan for the convention. Include your understanding of the organization’s goals and how you plan to meet those objectives. Provide an agenda of the event with a detailed daily schedule. Present a complete budget. Explain why you selected the theme, location, seminar topics, speakers and social activities. Justify your attendance, expense and revenue projections based on your research.

How to Find My Hostgator IP AddressesIn Feburary 2016 18,

In Feburary 2016 18,
Log on to your HostGator control panel, also known as cPanel. If you're unsure of how to access your cPanel, click the link found in the email you received once you purchased your HostGator hosting plan or by typing 'cpanel' at the end of your domain name, as an example, 'http://www.mywebsite.com/cpanel.'

How to Make Money Hosting PC Game ServersIn Feburary 2016 16,

In Feburary 2016 16,
Decide on the type of server you want to use. You can use your computer as a server, but once you shut down the computer, no one can use it. A dedicated server is in use 24-7 and will be unavailable for your own personal use.
Find a game to host by contacting developers or programmers working on games. If you want to court a large company like Blizzard, then you need to have large servers that can host a large-scale game. If you plan on courting a small company, then you don't need such a large system.
Figure out how you plan to charge. If you are working with a large company, they will likely lease your servers for their game; that will be the primary source of revenue. If you host a small scale or even local game, then you can charge people a monthly fee to play.
Create your pay-for-access system by working with your Internet service provider or hosting company. They both have the ability to set up a username and password system for either a membership section of your website, which you can provide access to your server, or directly with the server itself for a limited time. This will give only paying customers access to the server and the game.
Publicize your gaming space. If you are hosting a local game, then you will need to publicize your business in order to get people to come and play the game. The most common ways of publicizing products are advertising, social media and news coverage.
Upgrade the servers when needed. If you want to continue making money, then you will need to upgrade your servers when the number of people gets too large or the games take up too much memory on the server.

How to Write a Business JustificationIn Feburary 2016 11,

In Feburary 2016 11,
Create a project team which includes a business analyst, an audience analyst, as well as publication, content and technology analysts. Choose existing employees who already have a thorough understanding of the organization whenever possible. These employees must be on board with the changes or updates the business justification is attempting to portray.
Choose a project leader. This person will need to be a natural leader who is adept at uniting diverse perspectives and creating a clear course for the organization to follow.
Analyze the organization. The business analyst determines who should be involved in enacting the proposal, those needed to get permission from to go forward with the plans and who must buy-in to the plan in order for it to succeed. All of this information is compiled and documented into a word processing document for future reference.
Know the audience. Determine the appropriate audience for the business justification. For example, if the goal is to obtain financing to expand the business, the audience is the financial institution and loan officers who will be in charge of approving the loan. Research the audience in order to fully understand what it looks for, as well as the exact elements which must be included in the business justification in order to gain approval. Determine the exact format the business justification must be written in to meet the requirements of the intended audience.
Review related publications, including trade documents and other relevant brochures. The publication analyst will take charge of researching what other organizations are doing, as well as what types of publications the business organization can utilize to improve communications regarding the changes planned for implementation.
Examine the technological infrastructure to determine which changes may need to be made to accommodate any desired upgrades or changes. The technology analyst studies current technology, as well as any desired technology and documents this information in a spreadsheet for further analysis by the project team.
Study and analyze the data the team has compiled to determine what to include in the business justification. The content analyst decides, with input from the rest of the project team, the content included in the final document. She also decides how best to serve the particular audience in order to achieve the desired outcomes.
Draft the business justification according to the specific standards of the audience. In most cases, the business justification must meet specific guidelines depending to whom it will be submitted.

How to Host a Cheap Baby ShowerIn Feburary 2016 09,

In Feburary 2016 09,
Choose where the shower will be held. Your home or a friend's home costs nothing and gives you more flexibility on time and decorating. A backyard baby shower provides a natural decor, saving money on decorations.
Determine the best time to have the shower. Plan for in-between meal times to save on food costs. A 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. brunch or a 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. tea each require simple refreshments.
Create the guest list. If other showers are planned -- co-workers, extended family -- don't feel that you have to invite everyone to yours. Keep the list as small as possible for an intimate event.
Collect guests' email or mailing addresses. Save money by sending an electronic invitation or by creating your own to mail. Request an RSVP with enough notice to adequately plan your food and beverage needs.
Purchase as many refreshments in advance, so you can take advantage of sales. Most beverages can be stored until needed and some food items will also keep.
Throwing the Shower
Shop at discount stores for decorations and supplies. Purchase non-baby-related decorations in the colors of the nursery or the theme of the shower. Add matching plates and napkins in solid colors to a few packs of the more expensive printed items. Or, for greater savings, use your own dishes and utensils.
Create decorations out of items the future mom can keep as gifts. Diaper 'cakes' are popular gifts and double as an eye-catching centerpiece. Pin baby clothes to a length of sturdy string and hang as a clothesline decoration that mom can take home.
A diaper cake is a great decoration-turned-gift.
Make light foods that guests can snack on without sitting down for a formal meal. Chips and dip, finger sandwiches, raw vegetables and cheese and crackers are easy to eat as you mingle. Mini quiches, fruit and muffins are tasty options for a brunch shower. Make cupcakes in place of purchasing an elaborate cake. Personalize them with matching frosting or the baby's first initial. Offer hot or cold teas, lemonade and a light punch for beverages. To save more money, make it a potluck and ask each guest to bring an appetizer or dessert.
Fill a clear jar with candy for a 'guess how many are inside' game. The winner receives an inexpensive gift like soap or a candle, while each guest can scoop some candy into a plastic bag for their favor.

How to Plan a Pleasure PartyIn Feburary 2016 08,

In Feburary 2016 08,
Contact your friends to plan the pleasure party. Choose a host and then come up with a short list of dates that work for everyone in the group.
Contact a pleasure party rep. If your group knows someone who hosts pleasure parties, then contact them. Otherwise, look for a group like Scarlet Girl (link in resources section), which can help you plan the perfect party.
Choose a date with your rep.
Set up a little bit ahead of time and make sure that the guests arrive before the rep so that you can all get down to the business of pleasure when she arrives.
Enjoy the party! There should be plenty of snacks, plenty of laughs and hopefully some money exchanged.
