How I Host My New eBook Domains For FREE!

When it comes to selling ebooks online, one thing is
certain: a small focused website that features just
one lead product will far outsell a big website that
features lots of products and links.

By focusing on just one product, you avoid distracting
your visitors or forcing them to make decisions. That
way, they’ll take the time to study your product and
the chances of making a sale are vastly increased.

I can see the evidence for this in my own business.
While the main company website (BizzyDays.com) continues
to bring in a steady stream of sales, it’s actually the
individual websites for each of the ebooks that are
responsible for the lion’s share of orders.

The problem, however, with having one website for every
single ebook is that it adds a lot of extra overheads.
In general you’re looking at minimum $100 for any kind of
webhosting and somewhere between $8 and $35 for a domain
name.

These are not huge figures, but let’s face it, costs are
costs and if you’re in business you want to keep them as
low as possible.

That’s why I felt it was worth sharing with you my little
‘trick’ for setting up brand new websites for just the
price of a domain name.

This week I launched a new website for our ebook publishing
guide “You Step By Step Guide to Success On The Internet”.
The TOTAL cost to set up this new website
(http://selfpublishing-ebooks.com) was just $8.97!

So how did I manage that?

Firstly, it’s worth noting that I use an excellent hosting
service for my main website BizzyDays.com. One of the many
features they include for just $9.95/month is the ability to
create your own sub-domains (http://subdomain.domain.com).

So, the first step I took was to set up a new sub-domain (I
called it http://selfpublishingebooks.bizzydays.com). Next I
designed the website and published it to this address.

Then, I went along to http://www.DNbuy.com and bought the
domain name www.selfpublishing-ebooks.com for $8.97. The reason
I bought it at DNbuy is because they offer a whole range of
domain name services completely free (domain parking, URL
re-direction, e-mail re-direction, etc.).

Once I had the domain name, it took me just a couple of
minutes (via the DNbuy website) to set up the new domain
name to point (or re-direct) to the sub-domain I’d just
created (http://selfpublishingebooks.bizzydays.com).

I’m even able to ‘cloak’ the address shown on the browser’s
address bar, so that, even though people are surfing on
http://selfpublishingebooks.bizzydays.com what shows up on
the address bar is http://selfpublishing-ebooks.com.

Finally, DNbuy even re-directs my e-mails for free.
This enables me to create new addresses (like
sales@selfpublishing-ebooks.com) and have any messages
that are sent to these addresses re-directed to my
regular e-mail address inbox.

And that’s it! A brand new website — hosted and all —
for less than $10.

Now there’s no excuse not to create sales-focused
mini-websites for ALL your ebooks!

What You Know before Buying Asian Teak Beds Sheets

Till some years back asian platform bed sheets used to be made from white cotton cloth. You are surprised at the range of unique bedding that are on offer nowadays. Bedding was never so beautiful with the vibrant colors, prints and textures that are offered in nowadays

Here are a couple steps that you can follow to buy the perfect bed sheet for yourself.

Take the beds measurings

You might think that all twin beds or king size beds measure the same, but sadly it is not so. The top proportions might be the same, but again the measurings differ with each maker. So make sure that you estimate all the measurements of your bed from top to bottom, side to side and also the thickness of the mattress you are using. Often similar beds from the same brand are taller or wider than each other. When you have your beds dimensions with you, choosing a bed sheet is easier.

Choose your store

Super shops usually stock on branded bedding and their own brands in one place.. Those looking for embroidered bedding or lavish looking sheets can purchase them from a specialty shop. The Internet is brimming with fresh new designs every day. For those who still love their cotton fiber sheets, a discount rate storehouse is where you should go.

Do you know what is a thread count?

A thread count refers to the amount of threads contained in one square inch of the bedsheet in both directions of the weave. You will find this thread count on the bed sheets label. For a luxurious feel, a high thread count is desirable. Beware of a very high thread count as the sheet may have slimmer threads and not the texture you want. For the right soft feel, a thread count of 175 – 250 is fine.

Pick your bedsheet material

Take care to choose a fabric that you can afford and is cozy too. If you prefer wrinkle-free sheets then go for cotton blends or you can purchase basic cotton fabrics. For a warm cocoon around you, flannel is best in wintertime. For a luxurious look, go for satin, silk or microfiber.

Bed sheet Care

You need to know how the bed sheet has to be cleaned prior to buying one. Silk sheets cannot be machine washed as they are delicate. Can you promise to do this? The best way is to buy comfortable sheets that can be machine washed.

I Hope these six steps lead you to finding a perfect bedsheet for your bed.

A bookcase, also known as a bookshelf, is a furniture piece and has flat shelves to retain books. Out glass doors are a good alternative to refer and store publications neatly.

Tell me about a oak barrister bookcase.

Barristers or attorneys want to make use of various heavy and large books in the course of their practice.These books are pricy too and necessary to be kept reachable for a quickly reference.Barrister bookcases are designed with the same purpose of keeping heavy reference manuals for lawyers. These lawyers bookcases are usually made using oak wood, cherry wood in different finishes and tones.

What was the method of keeping volumes prior to barrister bookcases?

Books were not found commonly, so nobody thought of how to store them.In those times, books were hand-codified. rich people who owned them stored them in accessible containers. The reason behind this was the books were expensive and could be bought by the affluent class only. Such boxes fulfilled the want for a bookcase.

Soon lot of religious manuscripts and other such books were bought by the rich society. Due to this, the books were located in cupboards or on shelves. these cupboards gave rise to strong bookshelves found Today.

How were the books placed in these shelves?

These books were not placed with a modern approach. The books would be located on their sides or with the edge on the forefront. these books had a band made from leather or parchment as a cover that mentioned the title too.This band was located on the front edge and hence the volumes were organized with their bounds facing out.

printing was one conception that made books affordable.Another added benefit of publishing was that the publishing houses published the title on the back of the book so that the edges were located inwards.

Which materials were primarily utilized?

In the olden days, barrister bookcases were created of oak mainly. Other than that, maple, cherry and pine wood were also utilised for making a barrister bookcase.produced-to-order barrister bookcases can be built in steel too for reducing wood cost and strength. The Bodleian Library at Oxford University households the oldest bookcases.They are placed here since the sixteenth century.

Chippendale and Sheraton were the leading bookcase designers who created the most beautiful bookcases. their bookcases gave the room a classy look.
