My conslusion of this study: Telesales; Selling Mobile Carwash Services by Phone
Does it make sense to sell mobile carwash services by telephone? Indeed it does and one of the best reasons it makes sense is the mobile carwash services must cluster their customers close together. Therefore if they are working in an office complex it makes sense to gather all the business cards from all the businesses nearby and call them up and ask them if you can put them on your weekly wash route schedule.It is easy to sell mobile carwash services by telephone because everyone owns a car and no one likes to have a dirty car. People do not have time to go to the carwash and wait in line and they would much rather have the service come to them as it is more convenient.In many cities getting your carwash at work is quite popular and trendy and mobile carwash services only need to alert customers that they will be in the area to secure additional business. A simple phone call is all it takes.Using the telephone in advance means that you can have greater density in your local weekly wash routes and cluster your customers close t
So this is my search for a service that provides me to put my 100 GB of documents/music/video online and access it from anywhere - anytime. Will any provider enable me to do this today or do I need to come back next year?
So let’s break down my requirements:
- 100 GB of space - what’s the price? Since I guess noone offers this for free (yet)
- Price reasonable and prize available on their webpage. When I mean reasonable it should be cheaper than setting up a server yourself and putting it in some co-location datacenter which can go for as low as around $400 a year for 1U
- Must have free trial-period for testing
- Reasonable limits - 1 GB files should be allowed and reasonable transfer limits. Last thing I want is that I need a document and can’t download it because I just streamed some music.
- Files easily accessable from my desktop. It shouldn’t take me much more time to access the files than it does today
- Serious business - Last thing I want is my files stored on cheap IDE-disks without backup or slow Internet pipes or a funky businees handling my private files
When looking at the first requirement, it rules out most of the suppliers out there. When choosing which one to check, I used the Free Online Storage list on lights.com and Tech Crunch article. There’s an additional link to a list at the Online Storage-section at www.myuninstalledlife.com.

So this leaves only 3 competitors: Elephantdrive, FlipDrive and Mediamax. Not many considering the 50-80 suppliers I’ve checked. Let’s look at them a little bit closer:
Elephantdrive
Elephantdrive works so that you download and install a client called ElephantDesktop. You start the application and login. Then you either select to do a backup or upload a specific item. When backing up you select your whole drive or specific filetypes. These kind of jobs can also be run at specific intervals. When uploading a specific item you can simply do drag’n'drop.
Elephantdrive is more of a backup/restore application where you can backup files at a scheduled basis and restore if necessary. So it’s not meant for active day-to-day usuage. For backup/restore it does the job - and better off - it’s completely free with no limit (for now during the beta anyway)! So if you’re looking for backing up your data but only accessing it when something has gone wrong - check it out. For day-to-day usuage - you better look at some other service.
Flipdrive
Flipdrive features a webinterface which is quite nice and fast. You can browse directories in a tree just like Windows Explorer. When uploading you can select the basic uploading where you add file by file or a power upload (java) where you can select multiple files by holding down the shift. Both features a progress bar which gives you the KBs/time left.
You can search through your drive and you have a nice feature called “Photo Albums” where you can add pictures to different albums you create. You also have a simple personal Address Book and Calendar.
So how does it work if I would switch to Flipdrive for day-to-day usuage? Well firstly, it’s quite slow. Don’t get me wrong, the interface is fast but not as compared to using your local storage. When you click files you get the typical “Open With…” or “Save To…” when so you can choose to always open your media files with a Media Player. You can cut’n'paste files, rename files, delete files, send files (it will send a link via e-mail). With MP3’s you can mark the file and choose Play and it will play the file using the Flipdrive Player so you don’t have to download the file before playing. This doesn’t work for AVI’s though. If you want to watch an AVI you have to download the complete file first and then play it in your ordinary mediaplayer.
Mediamax
MediaMax offers a similar file manager webinterface as Flipdrive. You can create folders, move files, edit, send files (either as a link or the actual files).
You also have some tabs with some specific feature:
- Video Share and Photo Share enables you to create albums, view them, tag them and share with others
- TV & Movie Locker enables you to upload videos and categorize them, create playlists, download and view
- Music Locker enables you to upload music, play, create playlists and lists music by albums, genre and artists
- Mail. You also have an e-mail address at Mediamax
So how does it work if I would switch to Mediamax for day-to-day usuage? The speed is much like Flipdrive, but I do get annoyed with the delay from upload until the files are actually published to your account.
The Video and Photo features are quite nice to organize your collection of videos and photos. It includes thumbnails and you can tag everything and create albums and add videos to certain albums and view them directly.

My conslusion of this study: Making a Business Plan
Making a business plan for the growth and development of the business is not an exercise solely for profit maximization. It is a mission statement and must incorporate the moral principles that are indispensable for sustaining a healthy public image of the firm.
The business development plan validates the purpose of the firm’s existence and also provides a moral frame of reference.Making a business plan calls for awareness of social justice in the management practice and all business activities. After a succinct expression of the goals and procedures, the business plan should go ahead and adopt the policies and measures that are socially relevant. An important criterion for the success of a venture is its public image. This is often derived from the moral stand point of the enterprise and adoption of the ethical work practices. While making a business plan always take note of the desired public image and identify the key influences on strategic business decisions.Many corporate bodies now choose to make their value statements very expli>Files easily accessable from my desktop.

My conslusion of this study: Online Advertising - The Ideal Marketing Tool
The aim of every business owner, whether he is established or an aspiring entrepreneur is to generate maximum returns from his business venture. In the current times, advertising is the most important marketing tool. The options available for consumers are innumerable and only if a brand or a product can find a place in the customers' memory would it finally sell. And the only way of doing so is by advertising. Internet marketing advertising is gaining momentum and online advertising is one of the most effective means of getting across the USP of a company, product or a service, to consumers.Ideally an entrepreneur should hire a service provider who specializes in creating effective online advertising campaigns. This would help you understand your marketing goals, identify the challenges in achieving these goals, establish metrics for measuring success in achieving these goals, and following that implement an effective online marketing campaign that is custom made to suit your needs. Incase you don't intend doing so then you must make it a pointnyone - please comment on this post!

My conslusion of this study: Target Marketing: The Bell Curve
Finally, Something You Learned In Math Class
Makes Sense In Real Life.Okay, here's the day you've been waiting for since 9th grade: today's the day you're going to find out what some of that funky stuff you learned in math class has to do with anything. Believe it or not, there is a mathematical model - the bell curve - that explains how you should target your market. But first, we need to define some terms and dispel some traditional sales and marketing myths.Target marketing means a seller identifies market segments, selects one or more of them, and then develops products and marketing messages tailored to each. It's a great concept, but most businesses don't practice it - despite what they say. The reason is simple: most products and services are not developed with the wants and needs of the customer in mind. Instead of finding out what a market wants, most businesses first develop a product and then try to figure out how to sell it.This means that their marketing and sales efforts are usually feature oriented. They say you add file by file or a power upload (java) where you can select multiple files by holding down the shift. Both features a progress bar which gives you the KBs/time left.

My conslusion of this study: The Art Business: A Great Opportunity
Searching for a legitimate business opportunity takes time and research. There is no business opportunity that you should ever get into that makes unrealistic demands. If there is a sense of urgency, a one time only offer that ends tomorrow, or an extremely reduced price offer, you should know that there is something wrong. There are other things to look for as well.Illegitimate business opportunities try to pressure searching entrepreneurs into making decisions at the spur of the moment. Once they have you on the phone or you visit their website, they won’t let you leave until you make a decision. Everyone in business has a sense of urgency. We all want to get deals on the table and stir up that emotion to seal the deal. But, when a company won’t let you research the business opportunity and put the appropriate time into looking at it, that’s a sure sign you should pass on it.If it’s a one time only offer, you should pass on it too. Legitimate business opportunities will always be there. That sense of urgency once again should be a sure Share enables you to create albums, view them, tag them and share with others

My conslusion of this study:
As of writing in September 2006 - I can make the following conclusions to my study: I wouldn’t say that any online storage provider would be able to replace my local storage. Why?
- The interfaces are too slow. If I would replace my local storage they have to be faster and more reliable./li>
- Not as easy as local storage to access your files. You have to go to your personal online storage, login and so on. There are solutions such as Omnidrive that lets you mount the drive in Explorer, but it’s not yet public and has no pricing on 100 GB
- Usability compared to local storage is low. For example, you don’t have all drag’n'drop capabilites. For as with videofiles you can’t simply click them and the video starts within a few seconds. Often, you have to download them first.
If I had to decide on a winner I would say Mediamax - because of some nice exclusive features.
