How Do I Use Yahoo Auto Responder In My Online Business?

Maria asks…

What is an Auto-Responder? I keep getting told I have one on..and I don’t even know what it is.?

I am unable to post anything to my Groups because of this auto-responder that’s supposed to be set. I have checked my regular settings, and everything is fine. My vacation setting is off, so, I don’t know what else to check. Please, someone help me! I own 2 Groups, am a Moderator in 3 groups, and participate in a few others, and they are getting tired of having my posts show up numerous times because I show they are being rejected, but Yahoo sends them thru about 30 times in each group. It just doesn’t make any sense.

Thank you, very much for any help,
Tonia, aka, snoopy199997, aka iowahillbilly

Victor answers:

When you send a lot of messages in a short period of time, the system thinks that you are an auto responder. Because your messages got duplicated, that must have turned on the auto-responder status. To reset this, use this feedback form http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/groups/cgi_my Under 4. What are you writing about? Select “How do I reset auto-responder status?” Yahoo should reset it for you.

Michael asks…

Where did all my groups go and what the heck is auto responder and how do i fix it?

I came home and logged on and i get an email (Well a few)saying We are unable to deliver the message from

Your Yahoo! Groups account has been disabled because you had
an auto-responder set up.

For further assistance, please visit http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/groups/

And when i click the link and type auto responder it doesnt help at all. Then i go to my groups page so i can post in them through the group and it says i am only a member of 1 group and the other 40 or so are gone. I need help please. This has never happened to me before, i heard people say they had auto responder but not missing groups.
Thanks

Victor answers:

Linda asks…

Account Disabled Due to Suspected Use of Auto-Responder?

I made the mistake of saving all my replies to posts from a particular group in my Drafts folder, then sent them to the group all at once when I finished writing all my replies.

I didn’t know Yahoo! flags accounts as possibly sending messages from an auto-responder if one sends more than “X” messages within a certain amount of time.

The last five or six messages I sent bounced and I received automated messages from Yahoo! stating
“We are unable to deliver the message from
to .

Your Yahoo! Groups account has been disabled because you had an auto-responder set up.

For further assistance, please visit http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/groups/original/members/web/index.html”

So, I went to that page and sent a message to Yahoo! explaining what happened. I received an automated reply from Yahoo telling me I had to contact **Verizon** to get the issue resolved:

“Verizon and Yahoo! are committed to providing fast, efficient support for our customers. Since your request pertains to Verizon Yahoo!, you will need to visit the online Verizon Yahoo! Help Center at:

http://verizon.yahoo.com/help/

for information specific to the Verizon Yahoo! service.

If you wish to submit your report via email, please choose the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of the support page, and fill out the required fields. Please include as much information as possible, and a Verizon Yahoo! Customer Care representative will respond to your inquiry.”

I *did* visit the Verizon site but they have **nothing** to do with this issue and cannot resolve it.

I replied to the Yahoo!Groups message explaining this, and asked my message be referred to an escalation supervisor, but I keep getting the same “form message” back, telling me I must contact Verizon. I have now written over a dozen times, and every time I receive the SAME automated reply that has NOTHING to do with my issue.

I have both replied to the automated response they send me AND have also filled out the form for help multiple times (each time I fill out the form I am assigned a new case number).

How can I contact a REAL person at Yahoo who can reinstate my account AND membership in my Yahoo!Groups?

This is getting ridiculous!

If I wasn’t so annoyed, the fact that I can’t seem to get past **Yahoo‘s** auto-responder to resolve the issue that THEY think I’m using an auto-responder would actually be kind of funny. Maybe I’ll be able to appreciate the humor of the situation AFTER it’s been resolved.

There MUST be a way to communicate with a REAL person at Yahoo!Groups. I’ll take a phone number or an email address.

This is VERY irritating.

Victor answers:

There’s no easy answer to this. Sometimes Yahoo just won’t help.

What I would suggest you do, is make a new Yahoo ID and rejoin all your groups so you don’t miss anything. And then keep working on getting your old account reinstated.

Sorry I can’t be more help.

Lisa asks…

How can I get an email response or a live person in Yahoo Tech Support?

I am an Email Administrator for the company I work for and Yahoo keeps de-priortizing us for no reason and will not respond to my emails except for the initial auto-responder, When I email them,they just start accepting messages for 2-3 days then its same old thing again with no response.I’d really like to know how to resolve this.

Victor answers:

I love that candy… I saw bars of it being sold at the drug store I think they called it rainbow taffy.(Shoppers Drug Mart) Good luck

Lizzie asks…

what is the best site to buy bulk candy?

I have six bulk candy/gumball machines. I am currently filling them with gumballs, m&m’s, skittles, and reeses pieces… but I have had customers request some speacialty items like mints for restaraunts and color coated candies…. Most of the sites I have looked at are pretty expensive per case….

Victor answers:

James asks…

I was wondering what I would need to go thru if I wanted to locate my bulk candy machines on college campuses.?

I was wondering what I would need to go thru if I wanted to locate my bulk vending machines on a college campus. I know college campuses have a ton of red tape and policies but I have seen it done!

Any advice or tips?

Victor answers:

Yes and no to the red tape.

Universities will differ in structure but are generally made up of independent decision making bodies and even private businesses.

Eg, you want put a vending machine in a dorm. Then you would deal with the dorm management. But there will parts of the dorm run by students, then you deal with that student committee.

If you want to put a vending machine in say the engineering building, then you would talk to the people in that faculty. Don’t both the dean there will be an administration officer to deal with.

Other places, like student clubs, bars, etc will have their own administration, often they will be private businesses. So perhaps you would talk to their manager.

How can I get download free movies without getting a virus?

I used Limewire to get the movie Howl’s Moving castle (I love that movie). When I downloaded other movies too, I got a virus that fucked up my computer. Do any of you guys know where I can download free movies without the hassle and viruses? Better yet, no downloading if possible.

Victor answers:

Bittorrent clients, such as utorrent.
Either way, in order to watch a movie, you’d have to download it (or stream it from a site which is the same thing, only you’re watching it while you’re downloading it).

As for dealing with viruses, there are 2 ways to always be safe from them:
1) Have good anti-virus.
2) Use your brain before downloading ANYTHING.

Sandy asks…

How do I watch free movies online without having to download a gamevance toolbar and other crap?

Every time I go to watch a movie on here, a window pops up saying “take this survey”. It’s not a survey, though. Its a stupid game of Frogger. I go to play Frogger, and it tells me to download Gamevance. I can’t do that, because I don’t want all the crap that goes with it. Is there a way to watch movies online for free without “taking a survey”?

Victor answers:

Indeed people are trying to make money and to force people to complete a survey.
This is side because information is free.

If you try hard you can find some nice websites with movies that have no ads and no survey.
My lucky address for watching my favorite tv show SGU is www.watchstreamingshows.com

FCC Votes to Begin Crafting `Net Neutrality’ Rules

Oct 22 12:42 PM US/Eastern
By JOELLE TESSLER
AP Technology Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal regulators took an important step Thursday toward prohibiting broadband providers from favoring or discriminating against certain kinds of Internet traffic.

Despite the concerns of telecommunications companies and the agency’s two Republicans, the Federal Communications Commission voted to begin writing so-called “network neutrality” regulations. Proponents say the rules would prevent phone and cable companies from abusing their control over the market for broadband access.

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said regulations are needed to ensure that broadband subscribers can access all legal Web sites and services, including Internet calling applications and video sites that compete with the broadband companies’ core businesses.

“Internet users should always have the final say about their online service, whether it’s the software, applications or services they choose, or the networks and hardware they use to the connect to the Internet,” Genachowski said.

The FCC’s two other Democrats voted to support his plan. The agency’s two Republican commissioners voted merely to start the formal rule-making process, but said they are opposed to the substance of Genachowski’s proposal.

Republican Commissioner Robert McDowell said he remains unconvinced that broadband providers are engaging in widespread anticompetitive behavior that requires government intervention.

“I do not share the majority’s view that the Internet is showing breaks and cracks, nor do I believe that the government is the best tool to fix it,” he said.

Next up for the FCC is to actually craft the rules, with a vote on whether to adopt them expected to come by next summer.

That would culminate a five-year debate in Washington that has pitted Internet companies such as Google Inc. against some of the biggest phone and cable companies—including AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and Comcast Corp.

The broadband providers insist they need flexibility, free from government intervention, to keep their networks running smoothly. They want to ensure that high-bandwidth applications such as YouTube videos don’t hog too much capacity and impede other traffic, like e-mail and online searches. They also say that net neutrality regulations would discourage them from expanding and upgrading their networks.

“We continue to hope that any rules adopted by the commission will not harm the investment and innovation that has made the Internet what it is today and that will make it even greater tomorrow,” Comcast Executive Vice President David L. Cohen said in a statement.

But companies such as Google, Amazon.com Inc., eBay Inc.’s Skype and Facebook Inc. argue that without such rules, the broadband companies will become online gatekeepers that can prioritize their own online services or those of their business partners—and potentially put others at a disadvantage.

Markham Erickson, executive director of the Open Internet Coalition, called Thursday’s vote “the first step toward … creating a framework that promotes innovation and consumer choice on the Internet.”

The Open Internet Coalition represents public interest groups and big Internet companies, including Google, Amazon and eBay.

Genachowski’s plan calls for the agency to formally adopt four broadband principles that have guided the FCC’s enforcement of communications laws on a case-by-case basis. Those principles state that network operators must allow subscribers to access all online content, applications, services and devices as long as they are legal.

The FCC relied on those guidelines last year when it ordered Comcast to stop blocking subscribers from using an online file-sharing service called BitTorrent, which is used to transfer big files such as online video. Comcast is challenging the FCC ruling in court.

Genachowski also wants the FCC to adopt two additional principles that would bar broadband providers from discriminating against particular content or applications and require them to disclose network management practices.

And he is seeking to apply all six rules across all types of broadband networks, including wireless systems, which have been largely unregulated.

“The time is now to move forward with consideration of fair and reasonable rules of the road,” Genachowski said Thursday. “It would be a serious failure of responsibility not to consider such rules, for that would be gambling with the most important technological innovation of our time.”

Victor answers:

This is how I see it. The internet service providers have spent billions of dollars investing in their business. And then they offer me a choice, I can purchase their service and go on the internet, or I can not purchase it. I feel the government, who did not invest billions in the internet service provider business, has no right to tell them what they can or cannot censor.

I do not own the internet service. Therefore I should have no say what content they provide me, other than purchasing their service if it pleases me, or not purchasing their service if it does not please me. Just like with any other business.

George asks…

AT&T is stupidd. please awnser : ) : ) : )?

alrightt. so i have the iphone 3GS and ive had it since october of 2009. and i dont want it anymore. im on my parents plan so i cant switch carriers…

i dont want it anymore because i am on my second one in 10 months and am going to get my 3rd one soon i already called and they said i could get it replaced ( the new software makes it freeze and loose service alot ) same with my moms iphone 3GS….

i called AT&T and asked them if i could upgrade and they said only to an iphone 4 for 399.00 and no thankss!

so then i went to a AT&T store about losing service all the time and he told me that i could get any phone i want for an extra $75 and he walked me over to the phone area and showed an example.. he showed me some $10 phone and said i would have to pay $85 for it.

and then i called AT&T to check and the lady said that i could not upgrade to any phone and that she did see that the representative at the store did say that and she didnt know why he did.

i hate at&t

anyways its $120 to cancel my contract and heres my plan..

i want the new samsung captivate. im in love with the phone, its one of the best android phones on the market. i watched a youtube video comparing it to the droid phones and evo and all them and it beat them on processor speed and screen quality and a bunch of other tests.

i wanna use this site letstalk.com to order the captivate on a new line on the account, ( the phone is $99.00 on the site VS 200 at AT&T and bestbuy ) then when i get it switch the numbers for the captivate and my iphone ( so i have my number ) then go get my replacement iphone for free, then cancel my contract for $120 and then have a new iphone to do whatever with : )

do you think that could work ? please and thanks.

apple suckss, just sayin. : )

Victor answers:

The person in the store offerred you what is called an exception upgrade. Any AT&T service representative in the stores or on the phone can offer you that, but they do not have to. It just depends on the person you get. Your plan will not work because your account has to be eligible for upgrade no matter where you purchase the device as you cannot have 2 contracts at the same time. The only way you could do that would be to cancel your service and then start a new line of service with letstalk.com but you would not be able to keep the same number

Victor answers:

This does not make it clear which job you are expecting.
Are these job duties you are experienced then it would be better if you include organization list under which the duties you performed should be listed according to your importance of jobs.
If you are giving only your knowledge about the jobs make headings , classify them according to the importance and expertise .
Think about the best job you are looking for and the duties you would like then it will be easy for you.
Secondly if you are making the cv for a specific organization then first find out what kind of job exactly is being offered that will make your cv to the point and relevant.

Donna asks…

Is bill gates into eugenics?

Microsoft’s Bill Gates uses his Foundation to finance death in third world countries

————————————–…

I notice that people seem to denounce the possibility or deny the fact that Bill Gates uses the proceeds from selling his Windows operating system and other software to finance eugenics and death through Planned Parenthood. I heard a little about this mentioned in the alternative media, which is free to report on what it wants because the alternative media mostly functions independantly of government control through the FCC. People need to know that the FCC is government control of communication, which is a vital component of Communism because government controlling communication is specifically mentioned in the Communist Manifesto as established by Karl Marx.

It is amusing to see people’s reaction to facts. It is humoring to see these people go through the psychological process of deceiving themselves in some desperate attempt to use it as a safety mechanism, trying to protect themselves from knowledge that will actually help them. They have been conditioned to defend something that was instituted to destroy them. It reminds me of destructive cultures all through recorded history that the current population even in this country (America) is claiming to be smart enough to avoid becoming like. But yet it goes to prove how it is used on a population. Anyway, I mentioned of Bill Gates financing eugenics in Africa and apparently someone disbelieved but yet didn’t originally look into the information.

This person was reacting as if I was crazy and making false claims. They requested a burden of proof apparently to see if I really knew the facts. But I am not angry because this had motivated me to really look to discover what the claim was about and I was shocked at how easy it was to find the facts and in “official” places. I found the information on Bill Gates’ official foundation website as well as Planned Parenthood site. Not merely just on a “conspiracy theorist” website.
Enjoy looking at this information and deal with the guilt factor that EVERYTIME you purchase a Macro$oft product (because there is nothing “micro” about a company that has 95% market share), a portion of that money finances death around the world, through his “charities” of death.

Victor answers:

I would not have a problem with this Dr. Guy, except he is not a Sabbath keeper and may taint others in the body of Christ to worship on the wrong day, but none of the others in our congress so far that profess religion attempt to force Sunday worship, at least not yet.

Bill Gates also changed his money to euros. He is not a True American, he just pretends to be one. They are always trying to change our school books to dilute real patriotism. Buy some and teach them to your children and the Bible and tell them to pass it down throughout the generations so they KNOW the CONSTITUTION is the only way for our America the Great.

Ruth asks…

Microsoft Contraceptives?

Microsoft Corporation has taken another step toward dominating
every aspect of American life with the introduction of
Contraceptive 98, a suite of applications designed for users who
engage in sex.

Microsoft has been a pioneer in peer-to-peer connectivity and
plug and play. It believes these technologies will give it
substantial leverage in penetrating the copulation enhancement
market.

The product addresses two important user concerns: the need for
virus protection and the need for a firewall to ensure the
non-propagation of human beings.

The Contraceptive98 suite consists of three products: Condom 98,
DeFetus 1.0 (from Sementec), and AIDScan 2.1 (from Norton
Utilities).

A free copy of Intercourse Explorer 4.0 is bundled in the
package. The suite also comes in two expanded versions.
Contraceptive 98 Professional is the Client/Server edition, for
professionals in the sexual services sector. Contraceptive98
Small Business Edition is a package for start-ups, aimed at the
housewife and gigolo niches.

While Contraceptive 98 does not address non-traditional
copulatory channels, future plug-ins are planned for next year.
They will be known as BackDoor, AuraLee, TitElation, and JerkOff.

OPERATION

Only one node in a peer-to-peer connection needs to install the
package. At installation, the Condom98 software checks for
minimum hardware. If the user meets the requirements, the product
installs and is sufficiently scaleable to meet most requirements.
After installation, operation commences. One caution is that the
user must have sufficient RAM to complete the session. When the
session is complete, a disconnect is initiated, and the user gets
the message, “It is now safe to turn off your partner.”

DRAWBACKS

Usability testers report that frequent failures were a major
concern during beta testing. General Protection Fault was the
most serious error encountered. Early versions had numerous bugs,
but most of these have been eliminated. The product needs to be
installed each time its used.

CONCLUSION

Contraceptive 98 is a robust product. Despite its drawbacks, it
is a reasonably good value for its $49.95 price tag, and is far
superior to its shareware version. Hopefully, future releases (of
the software, that is) will add missing functionality, such as
Backout and Restore, Uninterruptible Power Supply, and Onboard
Camera.

Microsoft CEO Bill Gates is optimistic about Contraceptive 98s
potential. He recently said, “Our contraceptive products will
help users do to each other what we’ve been doing to our
customers for years.”

How To Reset-Auto Responder?

Hi, I hope i can get some help, I was put on auto-responder 4 days ago, I emailed yahoo‘s customer support twice and just got the automated reply to let me know that they received them. It’s been 48 hours since then, A lot of people in my groups are telling me that it shouldn’t take no more then 24 hours! Why is it taking so darn long. Is there a way that I can reset it my self? Any help would be appreciated.
OMG 11 days that’s way to long…I’ve been in yahoo groups for 10 years,This was the first time that I’ve been put on auto-responder! I didn’t send anymore then i normally do…I have heard different things from everyone, Some say you can’t send no more then 15 e-mails in 20 minutes and the other half says it’s 50 in 20 minutes so i wonder which one is right…I never new there was a limit on how many you can send, All be darn if I’m locked out of my groups for 11 days, I’ll be calling them to talk to a person today if they haven’t fixed it by then..This really angers me…
Ok I’m getting really pissed here, It’s been 6 days now that I’ve been locked out of all my groups! I changed my password days ago that did not help any! I’ve been emailing them from the link below that’s on the last reply and on another form that I got from someone else every single day. This is absolutely ridiculous..This doesn’t look like it’s going to be resolved any time soon, I’m going to have to open up a gmail account, I suggest everyone that’s been having the same problem to do the same..

Victor answers:

I got put on auto-responder 5 days ago, I emailed Yahoo 3 times now, got an automated reply just like you & still no response. I emailed a friend & she told me that she once got put on auto-responder and it took Yahoo 11 days before they fixed the problem. She told me that this happens when you send too many emails, like 25 in the same day. I hope they get on the ball & unlock my groups, I can’t even go to my groups to check mail. I don’t even show as a member. RATS!
Hopefully someone will come along & give us a better answer.

How Do I Use Bulk Vegetable Oil In My Online Business?

William asks…

So is it GOOD that only 1 penny of each dollar actually gets to the government of Haiti?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100127/ap_on_bi_ge/lt_haiti_us_aid
Haiti govt gets only 1 cent of every US aid dollar
“Relief experts say it would be a mistake to send too much direct cash to the Haitian government, which is in disarray and has a history of failure and corruption.

“Of each U.S. taxpayer dollar, 40 cents is going to the U.S. military, paying for security, search and rescue teams, and the Navy’s hospital ship USNS Comfort.

“Another 36 cents funds US AID’s disaster assistance — everything from $5,000 generators to $35 hygiene kits with soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste for a family of five.

“Just over a dime has already been spent on food: 122 million pounds of pinto beans, black beans, rice, corn soy blend and vegetable oil. When purchased in bulk, the actual food prices are relatively low. Pinto beans, for example, cost the U.S. government 40 cents a pound when purchased in 5 million-pound batches last week.

“Getting the food to Haitians — paying for freighters, trucks and distribution centers, and the people to staff them, took another 10.5 cents from each dollar.”

Spending 36 cents for supplies, a dime for food, and a dime to transport the food.

40 cents for search and rescue, hospital, and security provided by the U.S. military.

One penny as cash to the government.

It sounds like they’ve got things figured out pretty well….

Victor answers:

I’d be happier giving NONE to the Haitian government. They are corrupt SOBs. But I’m glad to see that the majority of our money is going towards feeding the people of Haiti and rebuilding.

Susan asks…

Why are so many Americans fat? Why don’t they just eat vegetable soup like I did?

This is a major public health issue. It is costing our nation A LOT of money.

I used to be overweight and unhealthy, but then I lost my job, and money was tight.

I was too proud to go on food stamps, so instead, I radically cut costs by shopping around for the cheapest foods in the store. Those were things like dry bulk split peas, barley, various vegetables on sale, and the occasional cut of turkey thigh or something. Then I would buy cheap dried Mexican peppers for flavor.

I just took all my cheap vegetables and beans and grains and cooked them into a big pot of soup with the peppers. With soup, you can also eat things like chopped broccoli stems (and not just the sprout part), or carrot greens. They taste bad when raw, but in a soup, they add texture.

I did not add butter or oil or flour, and I used minimal salt. I did not use very many potatoes, since I don’t really like them. I’d use green peas instead.

Anyhow, after three months of eating a diet of this soup, I had lost 50lbs, and my bloodwork showed that my bad cholesterol and blood pressure levels had gone from “dangerously high” to “healthy range.” I was also no longer pre-diabetic!

Why don’t more Americans do this? You get to lose weight and get healthy AND SAVE MONEY at the same time! It’s a great deal.

And yet, at the supermarket, I always see people (with KIDS, too!) steering around carts full of utter crap. And it’s not even that cheap! A bag of generic greasy potato chips costs $3.00 on sale at Wal-Mart, but gives you very little actual nutrition or vitamins.

$3 can get you up to six POUNDS of lentils, and those are great for you.

I don’t get it.

Victor answers:

They were brought up on fast food given to them like a pacifier in a baby’s mouth. To appease children parents did not lay down the law, and many women, and men too, found the easy way out instead of healthy meals for their families.

Potato chips are fine, and can be purchased fat free. It is also portion sizes and large plates that do people in.

Exercise is also a big part of keeping healthy.

Ken asks…

Is it worth the cost to make my own soap?

I’ve been looking around for cold process soap recipes. I can get 8 lbs for $25 including ship depending on where I’ll be getting it from online. I heard that some hardware stores carry the crystals but from why I can tell they are also expensive, maybe moreso than buying bulk online.

Either way, depending on the oil and additives I’ve calculated that it’s going to cost between $1 and $3 per block of soap if I make it with 1/4th cup of lye and 2 cups heavy vegetable oils and 3/4th cups of water. Since I have not cut or made the block and the recipe doesn’t specify how many bars of soap it will make at how many oz, I can only guess that, if I sell each bar at $4, the net gain of making the soap will be between $8 to $13.

Thus, would it be worth it to make my own soap or would it be more economical for me to just go out and buy bar soap? I do not have a base to sell to exactly, but I’m looking to be more self sufficient, but, in this case, is it more economical for me to just buy soap over top of being self sufficient?

Victor answers:

As owner of The Natural Bar Soap Company, and maker of all our handcrafted soaps, I am a huge advocate of handmade soaps. I believe you get better quality ingredients in bars of natural handcrafted soap than you will find in commercially available ones.

I grew up using Dial. I never really thought much about it. It cleaned well. That’s what it was supposed to do. But, in college, after taking an organic chemistry class, I was inspired to make a batch of soap using natural oils. This is when I realized just how good soap could really be! It was exciting to combine all natural ingredients and make bars that were gentle, moisturizing, smelled great, looked great, and also cleaned well.

As others have written, making your own soap just isn’t necessary these days. People used to make it because they had to. It requires practice, knowledge, and precision. If you’re not really crafty, and aren’t looking for a new hobby, you may want to stick to buying your soap. But, if you’re feeling up for adventure, try it! I care a lot about what goes on my skin, AND I love making soap.

As far as being economical, it doesn’t really save you much to make your own, but you get to control what goes in it. You can make “cheap” soap (about $2/bar) using inexpensive ingredients, or you can buy premium oils that make more luxurious soaps, but these will come out closer to $3-4/bar. You’ll get better prices on ingredients if you buy more.

I have made decent soaps out of things found in the grocery store and health food store. A great book on the subject is “The Everything Soapmaking Book.” You can get it at Borders, Amazon… Even Michael’s. It has some nice recipes for beginners.

The Lye is the hardest thing to find, although I’ve heard from some people that Ace Hardware carries a brand called Rooto that makes a 100% Sodium Hydroxide drain cleaner. YOU WANT TO BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT YOUR LYE ONLY HAS SODIUM HYDROXIDE– NOTHING ELSE!!!! Many drain cleaners have other ingredients that are VERY bad and can burn your skin.

Other than that, you mentioned that you might want to sell your soaps as well. You might want to look into selling at craft fairs. But, before selling ANY soap that you have made yourself, you need to be certain that it is safe and that your soaps will not harm people. Most soap sellers go through a couple years of “experimenting” before actually selling to the public. You are at great risk of liability if you sell unsafe, untested products. Additionally, labeling requirements for your soaps are very strict and enforced by the Food and Drug Administration. You’ll also need liability insurance- available through the Soap Crafters Guild (google it) for about $500/yr. Then, there are taxes, trade name registrations, sales tax licenses, etc., to set up so that you are “legal.” The cost for all of this adds up quickly.

So, if you want to make soap because you think it is economical, it really depends on the ingredients you use. If you want to make soap because you would like to make money, you’ll need to invest some money to start experimenting and learning the craft, before you’ll be ready for that. There are much less expensive, easier things to make and sell at craft fairs than soap, and with an entrepreneurial spirit (like you seem to have), you could be very successful!

I would suggest walking around a craft fair in your area to get ideas of what other people are selling. Because creativity is such an individual thing, there is always room for another crafty person! I make and sell jewelry with a friend for fun, and even though there are a ton of jewelers at our craft shows, each of us makes unique things. There are plenty of buyers out there to share. :)

I wish you luck and hope I gave you some helpful info!

Lisa asks…

A oatmeal question for those who specialize in culinary arts?

Ok I got a ton of oatmeal. Orignal oatmeal. You know the bulk in bags kind?

Now my objective here is to keep calories down but yet make something kind of tasty. Now as a culinary arts student I know you taken nutrition. So here goes…

I need the carbohydrates to be low glycemic index(also called complex or slow carbs) but I can allow for some GI high(say such as sugar) for quick absorption but it needs to be mostly GI low and very low GI carbohydrate dense foods. That means fat needs to be close to zero. Maybe 1 or 2grams tops not counting the fats from oatmeal obviously. Healthy fats preferred(such as monounsaturated(like vegetable oil)). Calories from protein isn’t a problem as long as it’s lean protein source(again low fat is essential here).

Sorry I know that is a crazy request but I’m looking for ideas here. Other than oatmeal cereal every morning I’m not sure what else to cook lol and thought I would ask the experts.
I had an idea with oatmeal cookies(no choclate chips) using splenda or other no calorie sweetners. But have no idea how to go about it….

Victor answers:

Granola, Fruit Crumbles, I make a Scottish soup with lamb and veggies, similar to scotch broth but a bit creamier with rolled oat in it, slightly ground and mixed with a bit of flour and a fat, you can make oat cracker or cakes as there known in Scotland, I use it for my meatloaf and meatball recipes, even in the traditional Haggis recipe it is used as the binder.

I use the baking Splenda, the brown sugar type, and you use it like regular sugar, measure it as you would for the other recipe, I use 3/4 cup, lightly toast my oatmeal and I prefer raisins in my OM cookies.

Donald asks…

help my dog gain weight?

my Peekapoo is VERY skinny, starting to scare me! I can see his bones and I don’t know why! I feed him 3 times a day, I have wormed him but no luck there, he’s just plain skinny! So I tried leaving his bowl full throughout the day, and he eats every bite, but gains no weight. I’ve tried vegetable oil, peanut butter, etc. He won’t eat raw eggs, like I read on another site. I am currently looking for a better brand of dog food, but until I can buy it, is there anything I can give him from home (the kitchen) that will bulk him up?
he weighs about 5 lbs, pee’s and poops regularly, etc.

Victor answers:

How old is your little guy? How much does he weigh? You really need to know his weight, because with small dogs you can’t tell just because they are thin… Not very many small breed dogs are bulking, they may be *stocky* for their size but still may not weigh very much… So bulking him up could just make him overweight, especially if he’s at the right weight now… They often only weigh between 6-14 lbs… Being a peekapoo he could weigh anywhere in between 10-20 lbs… So knowing his weight is ideal… If you don’t have scales that will weigh him, any vets office will let you go in and weigh him… Hopefully you have a vet for him, just call and ask them what his ideal weight should be…

Is he weeing on a regular basis? Pooping? Drinking his water? Not weeing is very serious! Take him to the vet, there are many that are open late and on weekends…

Also don’t give him raw eggs, I wouldn’t eat them either… If you want to supplement his kibble, cook the eggs, boiled or scrambled my pups love ‘em. Also a tablespoon of olive oil on his food a day is good for him and adds a little *good* fat.

How Do I Use Marketing Plan Software In My Online Business?

Susan asks…

What is the current state of the market for on-demand software?

I am writing a marketing plan for class based on an on-demand software offering (think Salesforce.com, NetSuite, Basecamp). How much is the market worth? How fast is it growing? How many consumers or small businesses are involved? etc…

Victor answers:

On Demand Software (ODS) is much more popular than people think, simply because the concept of on demand software has been ill defined and is generally concieved ad limited to “Net Licensing” Here are a couple of recommendations to round out your research paper.

1) Start by breaking the mold: Define ODS in it´s full conception. On Demand is a service definition not a product spec. The whole idea behind On demand, is to have your service when you need it. Bluntly put, almost all net transactions and particularly all DOWNLOADS are delivered on demand. So the biggest consumer of ODS is really the home end user, and the real market is in the “Upgrade and fringe bennefit” segment of ODS rather than the “Full Service application”

The best example of this (other than the all powerfull i Tunes) is probably the MS Office Clipart gallery, absolutely on demand, but dellivering only a fraction of all the suite’s functionalities.

2) Proove the market assumptions before you measure the market. As the old saying states, “to assume is to make an A** out of U and ME” so before you bring out your calculator and start adding customers Proove the real motivation behind each consumer and service segments.

Some less looked at segments may be “Patches”, “Demos” “Add ons”, “Advertising on Demand (Which actually acounts for most of the profit of web based e’mail)”

Then there is the classics “WEB MAIL” as the king of the ODS software services, which led to “CONTACT MANAGEMENT” and “SCHEDULING” “MEETING MANAGEMENT and MESSAGING” Services, then and only then consider SUITE Services and ERPs which are at the pinnacle of complexity and thus have a smaller segment.

If you can make a case for each relevant service segment you will see that your customer count is high, composed of many interdependent market response surfaces.

3) Round out by explaining some of the unique attributes of the ODS business model such as. . .

A) the money is in the service not just the license fee. . Explain how service creates and audience and the audience creates a media profit (Once again the case of web based e’mail)

B) A different service calls for different measures. . The importance of measuring transactions and consumers, badwidth and feature richness.

C) Data management builds uncontested loyalty. (ask how much you value your information, thats how much you will want to stay once you decide on an ODS service provider.)

4) Last measure the size of the market according to simple facts. If your cost to run is $1,000,000/mo and your profit margin per account user is $10/mo Than your real market is the top 100,000 consumer over the total response surface of the features in your ODS platform.

Donna asks…

What are the main duties for a product marketing manager?

I am just wondering about some following questions about the position of product marketing manager:
what are the differences between a general marketing plan and the marketing plan made by the product marketing manager?
I am talking about the ERP software product .
For example,do the marketing objectives contain only the finacial figures (which is in tune with traditional marketing theory)when a product marketing manager making marketing plan.

Victor answers:

In the business I work in, the marketing managers are those that are responsible for analyzing the market needs. They take that information to the product marketing manager. The product marketing manager determines if there is a product that already exists that can serve the new need or if a new product must be developed. If a new one needs to be developed, the product marketing manager works with technical to develope the new product. After development, the product marketing manager and the marketing manager work together to develop the general marketing plan. It is usually led by and the decision making is given to the product marketing manager. But it’s the marketing manager’s duty to implement the marketing plan.

Jenny asks…

Changing the subject line for “Yahoo Auto Response”?

How can I change the subject line for the vacation response?

We are a small business, and it’s important for us to look professional. We have our own domain name hosted on a yahoo business account, but when we set up out-of-office auto-responders our clients receive messages titled “Yahoo Auto Response” which is very unprofessional.

I thought that at least with a business account this would be customizable. I dont’ want my clients to think they are receiving an email from Yahoo, but from our company. Whatever it says I want it to look like it comes from us.

If this is not possible, is there a place to give Yahoo suggestions for improvements to their business service? I travel often so this comes up a lot, and it is upsetting me so much that I am considering looking for a different web and email server to switch to.

Victor answers:

You can’t change it unfortunately. Try contacting their support or customer service. They may have a way to help your small biz. Good luck :)

Richard asks…

thank you and I have went there and it is not being reset, I have fooled with this all day and it wouldn’t be such a bothersome thing to me if it was only the one group and not mine, why did they take mine? and also I still have all of the other stuff like this and my email, but I don’t know that I am not having my email redirected so that I am not getting it? it is a bad feeling, I imagine there are others it bothers too and there should maybe be a more simple answer to it? that would be nice

Victor answers:

This sometimes happens when you turn on the auto-reply feature on your email program. You can get your auto-responder problem fixed by Yahoo staff easily. Go to http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/groups/original/general.html
Complete all information on this help form. On Item #7, use the down arrow and select “Other”. In Item #8, type in “How do I reset my autoresponder status”.
Click “Send” at the very bottom of page.
Yahoo Staff will then reset your autoresponder status.
It should not take too long for this to be “fixed” and then you can again access your groups.

How Do I Use Bulk Vegetable Oil In My Online Business?

Mark asks…

where to buy new or used vegetable oil in bulk?

Victor answers:

Sam’s, Costco, Wal-Mart …

Chris asks…

who produces vegetable oil for bio-diesel?

I have a small bio diesel co and want to learn more about where I can buy bulk v-oil for my bio-fuel production.

Victor answers:

Any vegetable oil can be used for bio-diesel, but the types with the lowest glycerin content will work best. As this fellow found out, it can help to buy in bulk.

Http://www.dieselearth.com/notebook/bulk-vegetable-oil.html

But he was just using it to power his own vehicle. You say you’re going to manufacture for retail sale, so you’ll probably be buying in metric tons. This site has wants and sells for bulk oil. It may be a little cheaper than calling up ADM or Cargill for bulk purchases. You may want to look at the “other”, “vegetable oil”, and “vegetable oil – used” categories.

Http://www.bulkoil.com/scripts/oil_definition.asp

Keep in mind that vegetable oils will differ not only in their glycerol contents, but also in their water content (yes, they do contain water). The quality of the oil is primarily determined by type, but within each type will be various grades.

Http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_svostd.html

Before looking for the oil, you should determine what type of oil you want. Then again, it may be a price/performance issue. New oil will cost $3 to $6 per gallon, depending on the type and quality. Used oil will run $1.50 to $3.00 per gallon, depending on how much you buy, and how far it needs to be trucked.

Helen asks…

Ken asks…

What kind of peppermint oil do I use when making mint chocolates?

A girl at work brought me some peppermint essential oil – 100% pure botanical undiluted and it says it can be diluted in a vegetable oil base. I picked up some Spearmint Oil today though from the Bulk Barn that the employee said I could use for sure, just incase.

Victor answers:

Oohh,i’d use spearmint,if i had it(my fav)
You should’nt use the botanical stuff as its more for essential oil type use(burn/massage/potpourri)
The spearmint oil will have been extracted from the leaves(not whole plant)thus having a more palatable taste.(other wont be to nice)But i guess i would try it both ways&see..
It should really be essence/extract(again from leaf)i use’Queens’brand(peppermint)@supermarket(i use for my choc mint truffles)taste good(not like camphur)I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING&USING(IF THEY’RE CHRISSY TREATS)JUST TO BE FAIL SAFE&NOT WASTE PRODUCE…don’t want to be throwing away chocolate.
Of course spearmint and mint&peppermint are all from the same herb genus(do not taste alike but similar mint feature in all)So go by your preference in taste(mint=mild,peppermint=hot,spearmint=sweet-hot)

Laura asks…

can anyone translate this pizza recipe from weights to volume?

and in a smaller amount? or is it possible? It is for a crisp pizza crust…or if you have a recipe of your own that is similar?
great recipe for crispy, sometimes called cracker crust, goes like this.

Ingredients
25# Batch
High-Gluten Flour 20#
Water 70 degrees F 8 #
Active Dry Yeast 1 oz.
Sugar 3 oz.
Salt 10 oz.
Vegetable Oil 6.5 oz.
Egg Whites 3.5 oz.

Add everything but flour, oil and eggs in mixing bowl. Let dry ingredients dissolve. Stir and add all other ingredients.
This is a very stiff dough. After mixing let relax for 3-4 hours, in bulk. Or refrigerate overnight.
A dough roller is needed for this dough and to avoid bubbling this dough must be perforated with a docker after rolling.
If this is the desired dough you’re looking for we did good! If you simply want to reduce your dough less puffy try reducing the amount of yeast your using in half and storing your dough at less than 36 degrees. Another tip is cooling your water tempera
here is the rest of it….thanks….
temperature to 70 degrees. Less yeast, heat, = less gas.
Last Tip: Bake at lower temperature for longer time, this tends to dry out the crust and gives a crispier texture.
http://www.bigdaveostrander.com/ask/askdavePF.htm#CrispyCrust

Victor answers:

First of all, this is not a 25 # batch when the first 2 ingredients weigh 28 lbs.

Ingredients reduced to 1/4 the original recipe:
5 lbs. Flour (sorry it’s not a volume measurement, but it’s a really easy decrement)
1 qt. Water
1 pkg. Yeast
1 tbsp. +2 tsp. Sugar
1/3 cup salt
1/4 cup oil
1 egg white

Lastly, this dough will probably not be abled to be hand tossed from a refrigerated state. After it is cut, formed, lightly oiled & refrigerated, allow each piece to sit out at room temperature for 15 minutes, loosely draped with a dry towel (unless you have a dough roller [not to be confused with a rolling pin] as the recipes author recommends).
