For example, I like the band Journey. Is there a website where I can listen to an album of theirs.

or

Two best music-listening sites in my experience

Once the weather starts to get nice and the doldrums of winter start to fade from the mind most people begin to waken up and prepare for some activities. The spring and summer seasons often are spent outside and the best way for many to spend them is to hit the parking lot of an arena, start barbecuing and mixing drinks at their favorite bands concert. All the hot concerts usually occur during this time and the best tours are set for the fun. So call your concert ticket broker and secure your tickets for the show now!

Most people are very aware of when the concert tickets for their favorite band will go on sale and securing great seats can be very difficult. Of course if you are able to plan in advance and order direct from the box office you will save money buying the tickets at face value. Using a legitimate concert ticket broker is a great way to get last minute concert tickets and premium seats. The cost can be drastic of course, but you will be able to get the seats you want with no risk and delivered to your door right from your computer or phone. Currently you can even print the tickets off of your computer for those last second plans which turn out to be the best night of the summer.

With so many huge tours set for the warm seasons of the year it becomes very difficult to keep up. To make sure you do not miss your favorite band or event make sure you check out a concert ticket broker website. From there you will be able to see all the venues the band will be playing and the dates. Then search for the phone number of the venue and ask how to go about securing your tickets.

How To Locate Concert Tickets

Going to the concert without tickets can be both risky and disappointing. Imagine going to the hottest concert of the year and not being able to get in. Then you may wish you just paid the extra money to a concert ticket broker. All is not lost if you fail to have tickets and are at the show. Simply asking around may be able to get you into the concert with great seats around face value. This may take a bit of work but most patrons are fans and just want to help others out.

The best way to get a great seat to a popular show at the event or venue is to locate the will call booth. Many people placed their tickets on hold from the concert ticket broker or box office. These tickets are being held there on the credit card of the customer who will pick up the tickets when they arrive. Many times these patron have friends or family who canceled or perhaps they were tickets offered by a boss as a bonus. These people are usually wanting to just go into the show and if they have extra tickets will want nothing more then face value. The best part is that you hardly even have to ask. If you just stand there looking sad, they will often offer to sell them or give them to you.

Regardless of how you get your concert tickets for this seasons huge tours the bottom line is to have a great time. Nothing is more fun then to drink, eat and party while awaiting to see your favorite band. Use these methods to assure you get into the show either buy paying face value, paying a bit more from a concert ticket broker or even getting a free ticket from a fellow fan.

So now you’ve got your business and domain name registered what’s next?

1. What are you going to sell ? - There are suppliers in Australia you can buy ink cartridges, toner cartridges, fax rolls, speciality papers, stationery etc from. Some of these suppliers sell original, some sell non original and some sell both so the first thing you need to decide on is ‘am I going to sell both original and non original products ?’. Then get in touch with your prospective suppliers and if possible go out and see their premises so you see for yourself their quality control processes etc.

To give you an idea of what one person can handle in terms of choosing your product range, I currently have approx 3000 products in total and that’s about maxed out for me time wise. This figure includes both original and non original items. Keep in mind that every time you add more products from a new supplier or from an existing supplier that means another pricelist you have to update monthly or however often they send their updates.

I would suggest you start with one or two suppliers and fairly small product range until you get the feel for your new business and are able to see whether you can handle more suppliers and the larger product range they will bring. There’s another good reason for this, you’re going to need to spend a LOT of your time promoting your business online so bottom line is you’re better off spending 80% of your time working ON your business with a modest number of products than spending 80% of your time working IN your business because you have thousands of items on your site.

2. Direct shipping & Tracking orders - This is pretty important so pay attention :), all my suppliers have a facility available to directly ship goods to my customers for me meaning I don’t actually hold any stock whatsoever. Running my business this way means I hold no stock and therefore don’t have to employ anyone to run a warehouse.
There is a downside though, the big one is that if you do direct shipment this means your supplier immediately has access to your customers details so be careful which suppliers you pick as some of them also retail as well as wholesale so if you need to decide whether you trust them to not try and steal your customers from you. To be honest I haven’t found any suppliers yet who do wholesale and retail that I’ve had any cause to be concerned about but you do need to be aware of this.

When it comes to tracking orders you need to make sure that your supplier has an efficient system in place for tracking the inevitable orders that go missing in action from time to time. Id also suggest that you actually find out which courier companies they use as you will find ,as I have, that they are very definitely not all the same. Some suppliers use more than one and will allow you to choose the one you’d prefer if you don’t like the others they have on their books.

3. Supplier pricelists - You will need to ask them to send you their regular pricelist so you can keep your database up to date, if their pricelist isn’t in a spreadsheet its going to be much harder for you to do your updates so push them a little and they may just arrange to send you as a spreadsheet so that you can manipulate the data more easily.
If you can you want to use suppliers who send out their pricelist with the items that have changed since the last update somehow marked so that you can quickly see what has changed without having to go through the whole list. If you are starting out chances are you’re a one man band like me or perhaps two man band and this saves a lot of time.

4. Supplier Codes & OEM Codes - I’m going to discuss this more fully at a later stage in this series but I will briefly discuss something you should be aware of now. Basically every cartridge, fax roll etc you sell whether its an original or non-original will have two codes associated to it being an OEM code and a supplier code and usually they wont be the same. The OEM code is the original manufacturers code recognised and used in the industry by everyone. So for example if you’re selling a Canon BCI-24 ink cartridge the OEM code ‘BCI-24′ will be used by all everyone so we have a universal standard. Usually a supplier will have a different code (the supplier code) they use to track the item in their warehouse.

Now that you know basically how the codes work I’ve got some bad news for you. You will find that many of the non original suppliers don’t have very good compatibility lists of which OEM codes are compatible with the thousands of different printers out there so be careful ! Of course they have to abide by what their pricelist tells you but I prefer to get it right in the first place so I don’t have returns from my customer when they find that their cartridge doesn’t fit into their printer.

My best advice for you here is to find one suppliers compatibility charts you trust and use that as a foundation to build on. This is what I do and from there the only other sources I trust are the actual manufacturers themselves such as HP, Canon etc etc. After all if these guys don’t know which machines their cartridges fit into we’re in real trouble. Unfortunately not all the manufacturers websites have compatibility lists available and when you ring them seem to want to keep it all a big secret.

When you setup your website later on you can do as Ive done and allow customers to find their cartridges by code or the machine model or you can always just play it safe and get the machine model of the client and match that to the correct consumables.

Well that’s about it for now, good luck on finding your supplies and stay tuned for the next part in the series when we tackle setting up your pricelists and/or databases.

I used to know this website where you could enter in a band and it would have bubbles coming off of it telling you bands that sound similar. Does this ring a bell to anyone? I found alot of cool bands i still listen too on that site.

allmusic.com

on the overview tab of whatever band, it has 'similar artists', 'influenced by', and 'followers'

Whats a business without traffic? An unprofitable one, thats what. You can not have a successful work at home career without traffic. There seems to be so much information about how to get traffic and the best strategies to implement. But all these conventional options dont work for every site. Not all websites can rely on search engine optimization. Below are a few rarely mentioned but highly effective ways to get traffic.

1. Go to a career fair. When school is out, college students are looking for something to do. They dont want to commit their summer to day job. Going to a college career fair is a great place to get free targeted traffic. People love to learn about alternative options. Internet marketing isnt a course that any student gets to learn about so they suddenly become intrigued with what you have to offer. Step up a booth during a career fair and let people know what you do.

2. If your niche isnt a business opportunity you can still offer to teach at a local community college or hold a seminar. Providing free information to people on a face to face basis not only brands you as a leader in your niche but earns peoples trust.

3. If you have a logo or a catchy phrase, make shirts. Get your friends and family to wear them. When people see your logo and website URL they become curious specially if there are a lot of people wearing them. You can even monetize by selling the tshirts on your website.

4. Post your ads offline in supermarkets and libraries. People do pay attention to ads especially in places that they visit frequently. If your local grocer provides a bulletin board make use of it.

5. Purchase a misspelled version of your domain name and have it re-link to your website. Its amazing how many people search for information and items using misspelled keywords use this fact to your advantage.

6. Stay in the know, if your niche is suddenly the next big thing put your marketing into high gear. Use the band wagon technique to get people to your site.

7. Purchase domain names that get traffic and have them redirect to your website.

8. Make specific business cards and give them away to targeted people. For instance instead handing out a business card to both a retiree and a stay at home, make a business cards specific to the needs of someone within that group. You could appeal to stay at home moms by saying that she can earn money working at home and still spend time with her kids, while most retires are just looking for something to do. The key is to find the emotional triggers and utilize them.

9. Get published in print. Submitting articles to online directories is fine and the same goes with e-books but theres nothing that can give you more credibility then being published in print offline. It doesnt have to be a major newspaper either you can submit your articles to small local newsletters.

No online business can survive without a flow of traffic but its time to approach an outside the box, or rather out side the search engines attitude when it comes to driving targeted traffic to your website.
