Open Question: Why aren't I getting any clients?
I run a freelance graphic design business and I have sent offers to a billion people advertising on Craigslist that they are looking for graphic designers and web designers.
But I haven't gotten one single client despite my most dedicated efforts.
Please read this email and tell me if I am saying something wrong or perhaps my offers aren't convincing? Maybe the emails are too long? I put all the quick info in the beginning and then all the details after in case they want to quickly read the email. Maybe they don't like my website?
I need your help, guys! Thanks in advance. :)

Hi there, (name withheld). My name is Andrew and I am SmallDot Design.
I'd like to offer you my services to create you your dream site for a static price of
$700 for a custom site, or
$500 for a template based site.
Your site will most likely take a maximum of about 2-4 days to create, launch, and set to your domain.
Any time you feel like it you can see your site being designed in real time through your internet browser.
When it's finished, I'll also show you how easy it is to maintain and update it yourself, if you would like.
My portfolio and samples of what sites I have made can be found on my website: smalldotdesign.zxq.net
or you can go to arena.wix.com/smalldotdesign to see a list of our websites that you can quickly access.
Questions? Call me by my number below, or send me an instant message by clicking "Chat Now" on our website.
Here is a little blurb about me and what I do:

Why are we called SmallDot?
We consider every one of our clients a dot on a big map. We focus on the smaller dots that want to be bigger. We cater specifically to smaller companies who are looking to take their brand identity to the next level and we offer quality service at prices significantly lower than other design firms.

Call: ###-###-#### (don't want any of you calling me haha)@ Smiling: Whoa sorry. Yes I have been a bit over zealous about "dream website" but I do mean well even If I am overly enthusiastic.
EVERYONE please note- the other sites that are in the portfolio are sites I made as demos or for friends or family. NOT legit clients. (When I say client, I mean someone who I do not know who accepted an offer for my services.)
@Smiling: What do you mean my portfolio is a lie? I don't understand what that is supposed to mean.
I made everything in it and all the websites ARE LIVE. Why don't you actually click the >> button on the bottom corner instead of accusing me of fraud.
Now, yes. It was a bad move on my part for not using a more intuitive way to access the sites. But they exist. Promise.
Are you saying that $700 is too cheap to believe that I'd make people a full website, or are you just saying that the sites I've made are really only Frontpage sites.

moreOpen Question: Am I good or evil, let me know?
Hello
There is a type of pleasure which is the flavor of bubblegum.
This pleasure feels very naughty and forbidden in nature, but not rude.
It is that flavor that gives me the emotional feeling described in the following blog...
h t t p : / / e x a l t e d p h e o n i x . b l o g s p o t . c o m / (copy and paste, then remove the spaces; this is because Yahoo answer do not allow blog web links).
I want people to know what my personality is like.
I have extreme sensitivity to other people's feelings (I have a huge about of kindness and compassion), so much that people tell me that I am far too soft on people that need discipline.
However; I have a sarcastic (but not offensive), dark, warped and wicked sense of humor; but in a way that people like.
I view pride as morally good or righteous emotion (not a sin); so long as it is a ‘personal love of the self’, rather than one being snobbish or having concern about what other people think of the self.
I have a strong sense of wanting to be conscientious, correct and clear in nature. I work very hard indeed, and have a very high standard indeed. I like to do so well that it is far beyond just ‘ordinary good’; I want to do ‘exceptionally good’ at things in my life.
I like knowing I am shockingly good in terms of morality and personal achievements; this wish is driven by profound pride and profound compassion.
I want to be creative and would only create the most stunning wonders of unthinkable beauty; anything else below this standard does not satisfy me. When people cry with the pleasure of seeing something amazing in it’s beauty or kindness, I know that I have reached the right degree of high standard.
For instance I created this page on the link below, which is designed with a high standard, watch the videos and it should feel wonderful...
http://www.youtube.com/user/SabretoothSnowMan
I also like intense cold and hate the heat, and love to go out in freezing temperatures with no coat on.
As a part of my personality; I want to have the clothes, the distinctiveness and characteristics, which expresses and advertises this forbidden-like pleasure; it is whom I am.
I want this expression to be intensely explicit, impossible to not notice; I wish to be associated with this pleasure.
I want what I wear and behave like, to be like the way that this pleasure feels; I want to reflect the nature and characteristics of this pleasure.
What do you think of this as being who I am?
What would God think of this as being who I am?

I am a web developer and I was hired by The friend of my cousin to advertise for her album online. Now I know how to advertise for my websites and it's easy because if I fail, it's okay, but now i'm advertising for another person and that's called responsibility. So far I am managing a group for her on Facebook and I created a group to her as well, I am the one who uploads her video clips on youtube and I'm managing her account as well, I'll be advertising for her on twitter and i'll put ads on facebook. And I will be creating a website for her soon. Is there something more I can do to let the people know about her new album? And could you give me a complete plan (possibly a link ) to tell me how to advertise for an album online? Advertising on radio and tv is not my business, I'm responsible for letting people know of her new album which will be available in 2 weeks, and she's not american and doesn't sing in english so don't ask for her name, she's a new singer.
moreVoting Question: Whenever I do a google search, I'm always redirected to a completely different page...?
Okay, so I'm getting really irritated, every time I do a google search and click a link, on various links it will just redirect me to a random page, sometimes having similar results, but not the page I was going to, or it will just be advertising something. I've tried this on several computers and EVEN MY PHONE, and still got the same results. In fact, I JUST cleaned this computer of viruses and scanned it, and nothing came up. I don't know if anyone has this problem as well, but I'm getting really sick of it and it's making my searching experience very frustrating.
What I do to get around it though is just right click the link and copy the location, and paste it into the browser's address bar and it takes me to the page, but should I REALLY have to do this? NO, there's something wrong and it needs fixed.
And, I'm pretty sure it's not my network, as it happens on my mobile web on my enV touch as well.
Any help very much appreciated. :)

moreResolved Question: What is the most suitable thing to do?
My idea is building an online delivery company to deliver food products to people. Moreover, nobody here does that kind of service. Everything is online except having cars and some employees for delivery. Do you think that i can generate a lot of money by online advertising if my website is very popular (aside from the delivery service) or do you think that time is out for new generations to start making money on the web. Because of the freaking amounts of people that are in many online businesses. I really want to know how things really work. Because most of youngsters that made it big, were involved in online activities. So i think too much between the both. But first i want to concentrate on my delivery business, but want to learn how can i make it proper. Like how can i sell it to big organisations. And how do you find your experience with the web. Because i don't want to blog or affiliate, i want to do something i love and turn it to profits. Bottom line is how to use the internet to make it really BIG???

I will just type, and type, and never, ever use copy and paste. Wow...I really must be bored. Just goes to show what boredom can do to you. Any way, that's it for now. Wait, no it isn't, I still have to keep going, and going, and going. Because I do. THE REST OF THE STUFF I TYPE WILL BE COMPLETLY IN CAPS JUST BECAUSE I CAN. THAT IS ALL. SEEYA! Hi, I'm back.

moreResolved Question: What type of attorney should I consult to help me remove false information about me on the web?
I lost a lawsuit (not criminal), and it ended up in the newspaper...and the newspaper's website. Afterwards, it was decided that the verdict would not be entered, and things would be handled as a settlement...long story, but basically the judge allowed everything and anything as he was busy doing crossword puzzles during the trial, the jury was allowed to mingle with whomever, etc. Apparently, I was told it was not worth appealing.
I was devastated enough, but lawyers' websites picked up the story and are using it for advertising, so now it's everywhere. And some of them have several details wrong. If they are reporting facts, then I have to live with it, but the stuff on there is not completely accurate.
My attorney for this matter could not care less. I know that I could write to the individuals to ask them to remove the false information, but I think it would be more effective if an attorney sent the letter, What kind of attorney deals with this kind of thing?
And once it's removed, what happens? Does it still show up on the search engine, but when you click it does it say the page is removed? I just feel that this will follow me forever.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.I wouldn't consider it libel because they think they're reporting the truth. I can't be angry with them for posting the stuff. I would like to know if they were asked nicely, could I get them to take it down and which type of attorney could help me do that? I think it's worth a try.

moreResolved Question: Aren't trolls obnoxious?
I don't mean to stir up debate, but has anyone noticed a well, a heavy increase in trolls hunting in Yahoo! Answers (and the whole darn web) for simple debates or questions that they can mess up for their own pleasure?
First Troll: The Noob troll: I would say that roughly a third of the questions asked by people on answers are by people who are lvl 1 and have about 95 points... They are not loyal to yahoo, and even if they ask an honest question, they pretty much faked their entire Yahoo! account.
Second Troll: Even if its not a troll, its still really annoying when people advertise a product, Youtube video, or even a hostile link. Most of these people are again, Lvl 1, and often all their answers are cut and paste " [These Pills] Changed my life! http;//fakelink.bs.." or "Check out this awesome video! www.youtube.com/Iamanolifewhospendsalldayonanswersadvertisingstupidvideos."
Third Troll: Racist Guy. Sure, they get caught quickly, but jeez, these guys keep making new accounts just so they can ask racist or sexist questions, or worse, ruin OUR experience by placing offensive answers on our pages.
Fourth Troll: Guy who answers every question like this: "get a life" or "Dude thats for nerds"
If you are going to be here, offer helpful advice, and even if its wrong its better than these hurtful notes.
Fifth Troll: Spammer. Just asks the 20 question max for lvl 1's. Thank God Yahoo! made a limit.
Wastes time. Gives unsupported answers covered with hyphens, or even the infamous scroll troll.
Gives cut and paste answers. Asks the same question 6 times in a row.
So here is my question:
Aren't trolls obnoxious?
Am I the only one who is going berserk? Are they accomplishing their life goal of pissing me off? Have you all adapted and accepted that there is nothing we can do? Is there anything that can be done to stop fake Yahoo! Troll accounts?
PS. I'm sorry if I misused the word troll, I'm giving my personal interpretation.

Hey, for the past few months i have been thinking about ways to make money online which i could use in future to begin a small business. I am currently 17 and my best ideas due to my small budget is writing an ebook and buying and selling cheap products. I think focusing on an e-book would be my best chance. Anyways to my question, I am think about writing an e-book on the basics of HTML web creation using notepad. I know how to do it very well and although its a little bit outdated way to create a site the customers i am aiming at is younger people and adults who are new to computing.
What i need some advice or information on are:
1. how can i make the book keep the readers attention when its a learning subject.
2.some advice on using links to sites like Google, e.g is it copyright or would i be allowed to.
3.If i make a mistake in the book and people buy it from amazon etc can i get into trouble?
4.when writing the e-book then when i sell it do i need to register as a small company or pay any special tax or how to inform any certain companies?(i currently have a full time job also)
5.If the book is only around 10 pages but has all the information on creating an attractive website with colors, pictures, music etc what price would you expect to pay?
6.Any additional information you could give me would be great and i would really appreciate it.
If you do give me any of this information at all it would be great and i would like to say thanks in advance. Any additional information is welcome and some honest advice on if you think the book would sell.
My main advertising idea is to go on a lot of different forums to do with the subject and let others know the book could help them etc.
thanks again.

Since our beloved Star Trek Experience has been bound up in red tape and politics for what seems to be a life time. I was doing some very hard thinking about the past and how our forefathers and mothers dealt with such issues as we have here with our predicament. Back in the days of the original series a serious letter writing campaign helped change the minds and hearts of the huge producers and well... the rest is history as they say. But in these precarious times we have seen letter writing campaigns not work, neither does petitions or vocal oppositions. I have seen this countless times in government and in the public sectors where the ones in “control” don't care or respect what us people in the “under class” thinks or wishes it is only about the money that they can squeeze from us!
So how do we make a difference? WE the people have to step up and MAKE the difference. Here is my idea , all of us (us being every Star Trekker /Trekkie or any name we go by) chip in and WE build the Experience ourselves. Hear me out before you shoot me down with cat calls and laughter. .
In these days when all the news is bad and depressing we would be a ray of sunshine, a place to go for hope for the future. Of course have fun all the way! And if done right make some money along the way.
Here is my ideas
1.Every fan chips in $1000.00
Think about it if we get 1000 people to contribute $1000.00 that is 1 million dollars! A million that can buy a large building that can hold a lot of people, displays, rides etc. Of course we will not be in prominent places like the strip in Vegas but more like an empty strip mall or ware house with access to transit and car traffic. Basicly we would rebuild the Experience! But with one big difference WE would be in control of OUR future.
I know this is a lot of cash for a lot of us, me included, but those who contribute will then be held as presidents meaning they will be helping make the choices in the beginning, until we set up elections and promotions then everyone is elected into office of Presidents, Admirals, Captains. Each rank responsible for different areas of the Experience. Like accounting, engineering, promotions, etc. More money contributed the higher the rank till elections occur. After set up then we disband and the elections happen with ALL ranks voting so that way everyone has a chance to be anything they want to be and not a place for the rich to buy their way in. Other words you have to work hard to get to the top and not buy your way into the position.
Now if one can not afford to contribute there is lots for you to do, you can do sweat equity into the Experience, think about it this way, everyone out there is doing things for a living right? You are all electricians, plumbers, accountants, cooks, etc. So there is our construction crew, and book keeping and different labour sectors. After a set number of hours of volunteering you get your rank into the Experience depending on the number of hours, you put in, the higher the rank. So everyone can move up higher in rank the harder they work until officer rank then you have to be elected. Everyone including the ones that contributed money has to work in the Experience a set amount of hours per month every year to keep their rank active and keep there shares. And this is the beauty of the thing everyone can do something from grunt work to office work to even blogging. There is work for everyone with every physical ability. You can work anywhere in the world, all you have to do is something for the Experience to grow and prosper, for instance you can set up advertising for us on the internet and on local TV, as well as spread the word of us by word of mouth, maintain a web page for us etc etc.
The first few years we would need a steady flow of cadets coming into the Experience to make this work, and at this stage of human evolution money as well. We will need to constantly have fund raising actives. As well as contributions from all our new and old members. All money will be transparent and everyone from Presidents to the lowest crew-member can see the books and help dictate where the money goes. As well as what the Experience will look like and where we will go in the future. By way of monthly meetings and online votes and polls. And every crew member that is active will have a share in the Experience depending on rank and years into the project.
2. Now here is the hardest part of all !! Getting Paramount to give us the right to use the images and insignia of Star Trek and all its parts. Basicly getting a licence to use the name!! This will be the hardest part of all, they will be hesitant and unwilling to share. As was the case in Vegas, they just kept bickering till nothing had a ghost of a chance to work. There must be lawyers that is willing to help us with the legal matters that are fans too? There must be loop holes and tricks of the trade to make

Is it legal to copy and redistribute via web site or e-mail local classified ads from the local paper or local paper's web site?

Over the past decade, critics have claimed that Macrotough Corporation has violated or attempted to violate many antitrust laws. Examine the following five statements. For each statement, indicate (1) the antitrust violation or attempted antitrust violation and (2) what antitrust law was or would have been violated.
1.Macrotough attempted to purchase the stock of its internet services competitor, Yippee. The purchase would have caused the Herfindahl index for the internet services industry to jump over 2500.
2.Macrotough required a customer to purchase its web browser, Pioneer, when buying its Doors operating system. The requirement significantly lessened Macrotough’s competition.
3.Macrotough offered discounts to underpriviledged public schools for the purchase of its Cubicle software. The discounts increased Macrotough’s market share significantly.
4.Macrotough advertised if a company purchased its Cubicle software, annual profitability was guaranteed.
5.Macrotough created a barrier to entry by making it prohibitively expensive for competitors to develop an acceptable alternative to its Doors operating system.
