I always wanted to make soap and sell it,

here is the one way of making soap at home...

How to Make Cold Process Soap

Equipment you need:
An accurate scale , it needs to weight down to 1/10th of an ounce
A stainless steel pot or enamel painted pot
A plastic or stainless steel spoon
2 Rubber Maid Plastic Pitchers, at least one needs the lid.
(make sure you write "LYE & Dangerous" all over the pitchers)
Rubber gloves
Goggles to protect your eyes
A heavy Apron
A thermometer which reads as low as 90 degrees and higher than 200.
A stick Blender (used for making milk shakes in a glass)
A corrugated box, approximately 8"x8"x9"
A small size plastic trash can liner.
OR instead of a the box method, enough SoapCrafters.com Molds to hold Seven Pounds of soap

Supplies you will need :
(All ingredients are weighed, even the water)
11.2 ounces of lye. (I use Red Devil brand, you can get this in the drain opener section of your supermarket)
32 ounces of water
1 Pound of Olive Oil (any type will do, the cheaper the better)
3 Pounds of Lard
1 Pound of Coconut Oil (76 degree)
1.4 ounces of Soap Crafters Fragrance

Directions:
Put on your gloves and goggles. Read the warning label on the lye. It is a caustic and dangerous substance. It makes wonderful soap, but it is not your friend as it will burn a hole in you.

The first thing you need to do is put your scale in your sink, place the empty container on it, THEN turn on the scale, THEN start pouring your water in.

Weigh 32 ounces of COLD water in a plastic container. Never use hot water to mix with lye, it will volcano!
	Very slowly, pour the lye into the cold water. Make sure you leave everything in the sink. It is safer that way. Lye has a lot of static cling, so spills are easy to do.
You'll notice the lye reacts with the cold water and it gets very hot. It'll also give off a gas, that's why you should be outside. Don't breathe the fumes. When it is stirred, put the cap on the lye solution and bring it back inside.
Let your lye sit in a safe place (out of the reach of everyone including pets) until it cools off to room temperature. This will take two to three hours.	You can make this lye solution the day before. Lye solution is a very dangerous substance, it can cause death if ingested. Make sure everyone in the house knows what it is and it is not to be touched.
	When the lye gets back down to room temperature you're ready to start making your soap, start weighing out your fats.
Put your weighed fats into a stainless steel container or porcelain (enamel) painted pot.
Put the pot full of fats on the stove. Heat on the stove, stirring often. Keep a close eye on it because it reaches temperature somewhat quickly. Stir well before taking its temperature. You're looking for a temperature between 120 and 130 degree Fahrenheit.	Always wear your gloves and goggles when working with the lye! Always clean your thermometer before using it.
	When your fats reach between 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit, put your pot in your sink. If you made the lye solution the day before, it is now at room temperature. Put on your gloves and goggles. Very carefully and slowly pour the lye solution into the fats.
Use a large spoon (slotted spoon works best) to stir it in. Hold your head back while pouring to avoid any splash back getting you. In this photo we are adding the lye solution to the fats.
	Once the lye solution is mixed in, (a couple of minutes), use the stick blender, use it off and on (continuous use will blow it up, I know). Blend for a minute, stir with a spoon for a minute, that kind of thing. You should come to a very thick soap with this equipment, probably in about 5 minutes
You will see changes in your creation. It will immediately start to become more opaque. It will become thicker and more opaque as time goes on. This is the mixture changing into soap.	The lye, water and fats are turning into something completely different. SOAP! If you weighed accurately and had your temperatures accurate, then the bowl the mixture is in will stay warm to the touch.
If you don't have a stick blender, you can stir with that spoon for about 1-1/2 hours. A stick blender costs about $20 or less, I highly recommend it. Your wrist will thank you!
	Stick blenders do have their disadvantages, they tend to give a soap that's done being stirred, but it is still so raw, the soap may burn your skin. When I used to hand stir, I didn't have this problem. But it really isn't much of problem. You should be using gloves!
Stick blenders also tend to cause overheating of the soap from time to time. But this really isn't much of a problem unless you really overdo the mixing.
	After one hour of stirring, (If you're using a stick blender, this point will happen about five minutes into stirring), you'll notice that if you drop some of the mixture from your spoon onto the surface, that it kind of dents the surface. It looks very thick and this particular recipe that you're making has a light tan color.
Now is the time to use your stick blender to stir in the SoapCrafters Colorant if you are using one.	Stir in your weighed SoapCrafters Fragrance that is cold process certified.Do this with a spoon, do not use a stick blender to stir in fragrance.
Immediately pour your soap into your molds. The molds we sell at SoapCrafters.com do not need any oil or grease on them. :)

Let it sit undisturbed in a warm room for 24 hours. As the chemical reaction is taking place it generates heat. If you put your hand on the side of the box in about 1 hour, you will feel its warmth.

Twenty-four hours are up. HURRAY! It should still be a little warm to the touch. You can now remove your bars from the mold! They should just pop right out. If you have to struggle, then put the mold in the freezer for 3 hours. Take it out and use a blow dryer on the back of the mold. When condensation forms, it will slip right out.

If you used the box for a mold, just pull the plastic liner out of the box, remove it from the soap and cut into bars.

The soap should have a nice, solid consistency. It may be a little oily to the touch. But it should be the same texture throughout. It will resemble a cheese, like monterey jack, and have a similar texture.

If you are going to melt the soap, now it is ready for shredding. If you're not going to melt it, just cut into bars and let the bars cure for 4 weeks or more for the best soap. You can use it in a day or two, but a well cured soap lasts so much longer and has better lather. So go ahead and use a bar, but let all the other bars dry in the open air for over a month.

To be sure that your soap making project went well, purchase some ph testing papers from SoapCrafters.com. A good soap will fall in the 7-9 category. A successful batch does not burn the skin in use. It is rich, bubbly, creamy soap that is extremely gentle to the skin. The reason I give this recipe is that it is the only soap that I can use on my overly sensitive skin. It keeps me from scratching all winter long. :) If you're seeking out soap making, I'm guess you're having problems with the detergent bars/harsh soaps in the store too! So enjoy!

Notes
When your soap is almost thick enough and you're hand stirring, now is the time to weigh out your essential oil in a very small bowl (not a plastic one because the essential oils will mar it) or shot glass. You want to weigh this now, because if you had weighed it before all that stirring, you're missing some of it. Pure essential oils are not stable. They evaporate away rather quickly. So weigh your essential oil or fragrance and pour it into your mixture. Stir well with a spoon. A stick blender used to stir in scenting material may seize your batch of soap! (If you will be using this soap for soap crafting, do not add any essential oil nor fragrance.)

If you'd like to avoid that white powder that forms on top of soap, you can put a layer of plastic wrap right on top of the soap. It needs to be touching the soap. That way the air won't react with the soap making what we call 'soda ash'. But that step isn't necessary, you can just scrape that white powder off when the soap is done. This step can also cause soap to overheat in the molds.

Overheated soap has a bit of a rind appearance around the edges. You probably wouldn't notice it unless you cut into the soap. Overheating is also the main cause of a soap's scent disappearing. The soap can sour up to 200 degrees in the mold due to insulating it and this will cook your fragrance or essential oils. Many people who have instructions on the internet mistakenly think this 'gel stage' is a disirable event, it is not. Originally it was talked about in Liquid Soapmaking by Catherine Failor. She was discussing a HOT process of soap making. Cold process soap making should not go through this stage. If your soap overheats, then remove whatever insulation you have on it and move it to a cooler spot. The soap is still great to use, it just has lost it's scent typically and has a rind appearance in the soap.

The most common problems
There are no "air bubbles" in soap usually, but a stick blender can actually cause little tiny empty holes in the soap. If you have bubbles in your soap, and there is liquid in them then they are really lye pockets and this is not safe to use. You might be able to save it by crafting it.

If there are tiny pin holes with no liquid in them through the texture of the soap, these are caused by overstirring with a stick blender. They are nothing to be concerned about. :)

Gone Cold.: If your soap goes cold during the first 24 hours or turns to mush, you probably lost the saponification process. There can be a lot of reasons for this. Your weights of oils, or lye may have been off causing a bad batch and Mother Nature shut down your operation. Or your temperature was not high enough with the fats and it just lost temperature. Or it just caught a chill. :) After thinking long and hard about what you did during weighing, and if you're sure your weighing was correct, then pour it into your soap pot, put it on the stove. Heat it while stirring constantly. When it reaches 130, remove from heat, pour back into a fresh mold. This is what I call 'kick starting' it.

Here is a post by a problogger who is making more than $100 a week way back in 2006, he might be earning even more now. Read on...

Well it would appear that another year has quickly come and gone, but it has been a very eventful year for me in terms of my AdSense experience so I thought I’d share my experience over the last 12 months, and maybe throw in a few hints and tips that I have learnt in that time.


OK will start off with who I am and how long I have been doing this for? My name is Chris and I’m a 21 year old university student from Brisbane, Australia. I started my sites back in the middle of 2004 for a bit of fun and to apply some of the new skills that I had just learnt in one of the subjects I had just studied at uni. That said I did have a bit of website and SEO experience from a few hobby sites that I created back in 1999 – 2001 when I made a couple of sites while I was in high school, again just as a hobby about topics I liked. As you can see I have been a member here at DP since October 2005 so I have been here for over a year now and I have learnt SO much, and I guess this thread is my little way of summarizing a lot of what I have learnt and giving back.


So I guess what you all really want to know is just how much am I making from AdSense on my sites. Well as it stands I’m making around $120/day lately. Here is a graph of my earnings progress since I joined DP:




As you can see when I first joined DP I was earning a very measly $10/week from AdSense with my sites that were at this point about 15 months old. Once I joined DP I obviously had my eyes opened to the true potential of my sites, not just in terms of AdSense but also in terms of SEO and the importance of building a good quality site. With this, I quickly saw improvements in my AdSense earnings and my traffic to my sites by applying that simple advice that is scattered all over these forums, and within a few short weeks I was earning a very solid $100-$200/week which I was quite happy with.


From October 2005 through to May 2006 I saw fairly gradually, but small growth of my sites with the exception of two weeks in February where my sites were down for a few days and constantly crashing until I upgraded my hosting, which had become overburdened due the progress I had made. Then in May I got caught up with my university commitments and then I went on a couple of brief holidays which saw my sites’ growth stagnate until around August at which point I had a terrible drop in revenues as a result of Google supplementally indexing my sites and placing many of my pages into supplemental results, a problem which I would solve a couple of months later.


Then came September! As you can see on the graph I made significant progress in September. What did I do that made such amazing returns in such a short period of time? Simple – I got serious and started working hard and applying what I had learnt over the past two years.


How did I get serious? I took a bit of a risk, bought a few books about AdSense, SEO and general website development and dropped down to part time uni and started dedicating more time to my websites. I started writing articles that were on topics that people wanted to know about and topics that people were searching for, and I placed these articles into a highly optimized template that was just designed for these articles, then I went about building a few backlinks for these articles to help with the SEO. I’d have periods of maybe a week where everyday I would sit down and write an article two, often three or four, and I’d just keep writing, sharing my knowledge, sharing my expertise.


Why were articles successful? These articles each focused on an individual search term or topic within my industry. The articles were informative and useful. They were 100% original and completely unique in the industry. They were my thoughts, opinions and beliefs on topics that I was very knowledgeable on. They were detailed and lengthy. And the search engines loved them.


Why did the search engines love them? Because they were original and unique, and because they were getting backlinks and they were on my established sites which I believe have a fair amount of “TrustRank” because at this point my sites were well over 2 years old and had thousands of backlinks, because I had slowly but surely developed them over the previous two years. Plus the articles were all on niche topics that there wasn’t that much competition for, and I had employed very basic, but very solid SEO techniques. Things like:


- Giving each article an individual highly relevant page title.
- Using meta descriptions and keywords, but not abusing them.
- Using H1 and H2 tags.
- Using good keyword density and specific phrase targeting.
- Using good quality, unique, original and focused content.
- Building some well anchored backlinks.
- With a good navigational system between articles.
- Using an aged domain with good TrustRank.


These techniques are nothing special, and are the basics of SEO and when they are applied to individual articles and based around a well optimized AdSense template is the formula for high earnings and success with AdSense.


So what sort of template am I using? It is again nothing special. It basically is a simple article page that was 780px wide, with an AdSense links unit at the top, then a 100px high header image, then a left hand navigation bar. Then a large rectangle unit above the article, then the article itself with a H1 title, with H2 sub titles, where required, followed by another large rectangle unit after the article which was along side a list of similar articles, then a footer. Far from a revolutionary template design. I have attached the hand drawn version I gave to my designer so you can see how simple the design was.


Ok so that is the basics of how I went from less than $10/day in August 2006 to $100/day in October 2005, but before I wrap up this “little” post I thought I’d also share a few bits of wisdom that I have picked up along this 15 month learning curve here at DP.


Firstly so many people out there are preaching you need to diversifying and make MORE sites if you want to make more money with AdSense, and often in this suggestion is the timeless of debate of which is the best way to make money with AdSense, with sheer quantity of sites or a few quality sites? Personally I’m a quality sort of person who believes that that with every page and site I’m creating and building an asset that will not just be of value now, but well into the future. I’m not working on a snatch and grab model of trying to create one spam site a day everyday for a month to hopefully earning $1 from each site so that by the end of the month I can be earning $30/day. Why don’t I work like this – because in life making money generally comes down to one thing – providing value, and sites like that are soon weeded out by refined search engine algorithms.


Whether you are a CEO of a large company or a factory worker working on assembly line you are being paid for the value you provide. When it comes to websites you also need to be providing value to your visitors for them to continue to use your service, and by providing value you will gain them as a loyal reader, and as a reader you can advertise to them. The more people and the more value you provide the more you will make. It’s a simple equation really. Now search engines are constantly working towards weeding out the “poor value” sites that are often referred to SPAM and whilst there may be loopholes at the moment with every passing year the search engines become savvier and are refining their search algorithms.


So for me providing value is normally about providing good quality content. So I make sure that when I’m creating sites these days I’m adding something to the site that makes it worthwhile for someone to visit and if possible try to make it so valuable to them that they are actually inspired to come back again and again. These sorts of sites are then normally looked upon favorably by search engines as they receive natural link development from all the fans of the site. This is a model of site development that doesn’t just work presently, but is a model that I’m confident that will work well into the future of this rapidly changing environment.


Another issue that is often brought up is the issue of creating lots of sites for high paying niches. Personally I have never wasted my time with such things because I’m focused on providing good quality expert content and if I’m going to do this I need to make sure that I’m knowledgeable in the niche that I’m creating the site on, and unfortunately for me I’m just not that knowledgeable on mesothelioma, cancer, debt consolidation or lawyers, nor do I have any passion towards developing my knowledge on such niches so creating a site for such things would just be a waste of my time and any visitor’s time that came by my site, because the information on it would be next to useless.


What is a much smarter idea, that I believe I got from one of Shoemoney’s posts was that you should establish a good quality site in an industry that you are familiar with and knowledgeable of then when you have built the site to close to its potential and you are looking to make a new site to diversify, you should look to make a site that is still in a similar industry but has only a degree or two of separation from your original site. So say you had a site about Sports Cars, instead of trying to start a site about Music or something else that is completely unrelated to your established site, you might try making a site about Car Sound Systems, or Luxury Cars, or something that is still related to cars. This way you can build the new site somewhat off the back of the already established Sports Cars site. Plus you already have a great deal of knowledge about the related industry plus it is easier to stay motivated if you make sites about topics related to your passions, and even if you don’t have expert knowledge to start off with, you will pick things up quickly when you have loads of related knowledge from your other expertise. This is so much easier than trying to develop a new site from scratch and is a very effective way of developing a successful network of sites that feed off each other.


In this game of making money online you really should be always experimenting and trialling new things, but you should also be looking to apply methods that you know work. Building on what you have with more of what has worked in the past and consolidating your position.


You also need to make sure that you are working hard and keeping yourself motivated. The online world can be extremely competitive and you need to make sure that you are doing your best to stay ahead of the pack. You should be reading diversely on a range of topics, AdSense and other earning methods, SEO, online marketing, website design and development. Reading diversely doesn’t mean just reading forums, I also highly recommend buying ebooks, books taking classes to extend your learning beyond that of JUST DP – there is a whole world of thinking out there and often I think that so many people are just reading DP thinking that it is a one stop shop for everything.


The reality is DP doesn’t have it all and a $20 book from Amazon on AdSense or SEO could make you thousands of dollars. Let’s face it, if you aren’t willing to part with $20 at bare minimum to extend your expertise, chances are you aren’t going to be the next person here making $XX,XXX/month from anything online. That said there are definitely exceptions to that but it's extremely rare. Plus you can certainly fast track your development and earnings if you are willing to shell out a few dollars to increase your knowledge, or get a good quality design made, or some special feature for your site. Plus if you have invested money into your projects chances are you will be a lot more committed to gaining a return from them which will only further contribute to your development.


The reality is there are millions of people online that are willing to put their time into making money online, but only a very small proportion of those are willing to put there time AND money into giving themselves the edge, and the reality is that for every person that had tried to make a few bucks online and succeeded there have been about another 99 that tried and made nothing. So give yourself the edge, and take the risk of losing a what is literally a couple of dollars – I can almost guarantee you it will be the best risk you have ever taken.


I mentioned above, it is important you stay motivated, and one of the best ways I know of staying motivated is setting challenging goals and targets that are very detailed and measurable. That includes, short, medium and long term goals, and often making them public like here on DP is a great way of making yourself accountable to them. I personally think that you should have your goals written down somewhere along with an action plan at least and renewed them at least once a month. There have been many goal setting threads started up here at DP before in the past, many of which I have tried to stay actively involved with in the past, and I have always found them be wonderful references for both your progress and to help with keeping to a target.


Well it think this thread is getting excessively long now so I will wrap it up, with a good old fashioned, if you work hard you will reap the fruits of your labor. So stick at it, and best of luck in 2007 may it be your greatest year to date.

How to deal with theft at home and in the office.


Whether at home or in the office you can not totally eradicate loss or damage on your property so you have to ensure or at least minimize the loss or damage on your property or investment.



You could do these things to protect your property:

• Have an inventory of all your valuables
• Get a log book and then
• Track all the usage of your office equipment
• Install a security camera
• Delegate someone to ensure the security of your things [in other words get a security guard]

Sometimes even with all the above mentioned measures you can not totally eliminate theft or damage on your property but at least you have a certain degree of control and peace of mind.

People are still lining up for rice all over the country, why? Because NFA rice is still much more cheaper than commercial rice. PHp 25 against PHp 36 to PHp 50 per kilo.


For people living in the States this might be nothing because 50 Php is just over a dollar and they could easily buy one sack of rice for $50 dollars that would last a Filipino family of four a whole month to consume. But for most Pinoys PHp 50 would help them survive another day.



All over Metro Manila you will see old and young people lining up for rice, in fear of not being able to buy cheap rice at 25 PHp. And if they miss the ration they would have to miss one meal of the day, so what people do is line up for rice whether its raining or under the scourging sun.

Experts say that fear is the most effective way to drive someone to action, but why do some people ignore this fear?




Is it because they are fearless or ignorant, I guess their laziness overpowers their fear and inaction is their only recourse.



Lazy people would rather face the deadly truth and later, than to act upon something that needs immediate action, and they mostly do not fear or probably are ignorant of imminent danger of poverty or inadequacy.




I guess lazy people are more ignorant than fearless because fear drives me to action all the time and I am not the most industrious person around.

I added my first free counter on September 2006 and it has counted thousands of hits since then, but it did not count where these hits where coming from, and what I could do with the information.



But now I can track where they are coming from and I will be able keep track the number of people who actually visited my site, and so I can prepare the kind of info I will put out on my blog and thus earn with my blog eventually.



Some people have more sophisticated counters or analytics for their blogs or websites but I'm fine with Flag Counter.


You could chose the number of flags to show on your site, I chose 248, as in all the flags that's available for me to see how many people who has been to my blog. You could even choose the Background color, Text Color, and even the Border Color of your Flag Counter so you could customize it to match your blog site.



Go ahead and get it, it's totally free.

I found this one on Google when I typed "free movies" it was the first entries on the list. I then searched for "Harry Potter" and it popped up, clicked on "Watch Full" and I started seeing the movie, the quality is good enough. Since then I've seen "Joan of Arc" and now I'm trying to stream "American Gangster".


I see this as another way to save on the DVDs I would buy in the streets, I know those are pirated stuff but people buy they anyways, I'm no saint, I buy those kinda movies yes, but not anymore, now I could have them for free at http://www.watch-movies.net


The site says it's not doing anything wrong because because they are not the one who upload them or save them, here is their disclaimer:

All sorts of things might happen if people know exactly what you're worth.



These are some possible scenarios:

• People will demand more from you
• Ask for your money
• Borrow money from you
• Ask that you teach them your secrets
  
• Steal your stuff
• Steal your ideas
• People will get envious
• Use you for their own good
• and a host of other things that you probably haven't thought of

I learned something new this past few days, and that is, not to give away everything about you. Your ideas, the amount of money in your bank account and your potential earnings.



This is the very reason why the payslip is confidential.



If people know what you're really worth they will get envious and might just do one of the above things to you.


So don't tell anyone what you are really worth, not even your closest relatives, and learn to SHUT UP.

Consider what kind of product you have if it's a book like mine you could contact book distributors or magazine distributors in your area who might be willing to carry your book in their inventory.

I'm sure you will find several distributors in your area who specialize in distributing your kind of product use the phone directory or the Internet to find them.

Once you find the listing of distributors do the following:

• Visit their website and see if they fit the kind of product your are selling
• Know their terms, know when you will get paid and how long
• Know how much their cut or commission from your product
• Ask around if they are legit and if they are good payers
• Ask if they purchase outright, they usually don't
• Also ask the minimum number of items you need to give them to start the distribution
• Read the consignment contract carefully, if you read something that you don't understand ask them and ask professional help
• Don't go in agreement with a company who will cut your throat in the end

[Now Hiring Call Center Agents] subtitled TIPs on How to Easily Get Job in a Call Center

I picked 3 magazine stands for the the soft launch my call center book one is at Conception, and the other 2 are in Bayan.

Here are the reasons why I picked the these locations as an outlet for my first published book:

• busy location
• near the church
• near the super market
• near the flea market
• near the public transport terminal
• easy to consign the books to the owner of the magazine stand
  
  

In my opinion these 3 spots are the ideal if not the perfect location for my soft launch.

The only challenge here is the collection of the sales as I can foresee, but for now I don't have to worry about it I just need to publish the book first. I'll worry about the rest later.

There are are lot more locations around Mega-Manila where I could consign the books but for now these 3 locations will have to do. I saw Joy Pocket books, and Love pocket books in SM Malls I will saturate them later when I earn from these 3 initial locations.

Once I earn enough money to publish more books I will move on to other outlets, and then I will eventually talk to Emerald Headway to automate my distribution.

We recently joined Gobingo the virtual BINGO show on GMA 7, and now we are officially one of the hopefuls of the Php 150,000.00 show.


Gobingo is a black out BINGO game where you have to get all fifteen numbers that you need to see during the duration of the show.

You have to use one of the products that Gobingo endorses and exchange it for the Gobingo card with the user code that you have to text to the Gobingo number.

We don't usually join these type of contests but since we simply need to exchange wrappers of products to join we decided to join [I say "WE" because we are playing as a family] We typically use the products that they advertise on the show like Cream Silk Conditioner and Head & Shoulders so it's easy for us to join the contest, we don't really need to buy products that we don't really use. By the way our card is set for Week 7.


These are the instructions at the back of the Gobingo card:

1. Lightly scratch the protective label to reveal the unique code
2. Choose a number from 1 to 50. Each number is equivalent to 1 unique txtart
3. And then text the number you picked from [1 to 50] and the unique code that is that on the card this is the format that you need to follow and text to Gobingo: GOBINGO / , , ,
   , and then send to 2444 for Globe, Touch Mobile and Sun Cellular, and 367 for Smart and Talk and Text Subscribers
   
   

Note: if you will text the code today the numbers that will be sent to you can be used the following week. [Monday is the start of the week of Gobingo, for a full listings of the contest dates go here]


We us luck.

This kind of thing spells out DISCRIMINATION. Some affiliate programs in North America will not let you participate in their affiliate program if you reside some where in Asia. You can not use or participate in the affiliate programs if you are not in North America.

Since the internet is universal and anybody who has access on the internet can view any site/ blog-- companies from North America should not restrict Asians like me to participate in any of their affiliate programs and besides if they take a look at my hits most of them are from NA which they should be happy about because they might just get a sale or two from my blog.

But don't let this kind of DISCRIMINATION let you down in anyway, there are still a lot of companies on the Internet that would accept you and your blog, in their precious affiliate program.

The way I see it they should be thankful that people from Asia are joining their affiliate programs [I'm talking about companies who will not let you join their affiliate program] because they will have an army of new site/blogs that carry their products/services.

I will not mention who these MONSTERS are, they know who they are.

I was near PUP Sta. Mesa this morning but the desktop printer store is not yet open. I asked around the area and was told that the store would open by 12 noon. It was only 8:30am, so I decided to head on home. I tried one desktop printer but the out put was faint, I could not use the print out as a master copy, so I will go back either tonight or tomorrow night before I go to work to print the remaining chapters of the book and the of course the page numbers. Wish me luck.

I have always wanted to have my own publishing business, and self publish my own book, now it's almost within reach.

I'm almost done with the dummy of my book, I just need to finish the page numbers and some of the chapter's headings and I could print the initial copies.

I will be going to Sta. Mesa to have some of the pages printed on a laser printer. I could have one book page printed for as low as one pesos in PUP, well not inside the campus but outside, along the street or as all folks call it there the calyehon going to The Polytechnic University of the Philippines.

I know everything will go well with the book project. I just hope it doesn't rain, because I don't have any sleep yet, I will be going there right after my shift.

This book project started out as simple idea back in January 2004, to help aspiring call center agents who can not pass the preliminary testing of call centers here in the Philippines. Last year I almost was able to print out the first few hundred copies of the book but my computer broke down. I finally got another computer last February, but I got busy with blogging that's why it got stuck in the drawing board again, and now finally I will be able to print by the end of this month.

Teatro M recently concluded it's 2008 summer workshop for ballet, voice, arts and crafts etc. But it left a lot of parents and guardians disappointed, what the parent's thought was a 1500 Php fee for the a single workshop turned out to be more including the uniform, tickets, souvenir, extra activities, etc.


I understand that the kids needs to have their uniform [that costs 850Php which will cost a lot more cheaper when purchased somewhere else] but what I don't understand is the souvenir that costs P175 per piece. Given that it's in black and white and it contains the major Marikina incumbents it even has advertisements on them like a juice making company, and an electronics repair shop. This magazine/ souvenir should have been included in the fee of the workshop, and if not it should not be compulsory to buy it because the workshop certificates will not be handed over to the non buying participants, that's why we bought our own copy of the souvenir/magazine.


I remember there is even the extra curricular activity that they had to compulsory attend which again has a price tag [100Php x2]. The kids where advised to go to "Kapitan Moy" to attend the cooking demo, and the Musical Play and Puppet Show which is totally not related to the ballet class.



Of course we had to buy the uniform for the recital otherwise our little ballerina will not be included, it cost us another 400 pesos.



I'm just glad that summer workshop is over. Next year I will not enroll my kid in the Teatro, I'd rather enroll her to other summer workshops around Marikina, I don't want to be held up again because of hidden workshop fees. Next year I will ask if there other fees to pay aside from the actual workshop fee so that I won't be surprised if there are other fees to pay.



I'm very dissatisfied as a customer because of the hidden fees,
as business person if if you are going to sell a product or a service do the following to keep your customer's satisfied:

• Keep your subscribers well informed

• Don't have hidden charges

• Be transparent

• Don't force your customers to buy extra stuff

Keeping your customer's satisfied and contented should be a business man/woman's primary concern. If your customer's are satisfied they will come back and will tell their friends that you have a great product/ service

How to make dummy of your book the old fashioned way


Since I don't have a Pagemaker software I am forced to do the mock up / dummy of my book the old way where you literally cut and paste the printed pages of the book to a board or a sheet of paper.


Here are the steps that I did:

• Encoded the chapters of the book on a word processor

• made two columns representing one book page each and then

• Printed the book on a laser printer [you should not print it using a ink-jet printer because it smudges and the print out is not as good as a laser print out [camera ready copy]
  

• Cut the printed pages and pasted it on clean sheet of bond paper/board [which will be ready for printing on any printing duplicating machine]

I am not yet done with the dummy of the book it takes a lot of patience to finish, I am slowly fitting bits and pieces of the book when I get home from work, and it's taking forever to finish, this weekend If I don't have any distractions I will be able to finish the dummy and print the book by the end of the month, May 31 2008.

My target release is the end of this month, I will be selling it via telemarketing, and on consignment to small magazine stands around my area.


I will tell you if it is making money or not.


For now I'm off to finish the layout of the book.
