Disclaimer: we do not work at Zoho. We are Freelensia, an online platform that connects freelance interpreters and companies looking for short-term interpretation for meetings, seminars and exhibitions. Our moto is interpreters anywhere, anytime, for any language. If you are interested, please visit us at https://www.freelensia.com.We are a previous user of Google’s corporate mail and currently are using Zoho Mail. Please see the screenshot below:The interface is very much like Gmail. We had some trouble visually in the beginning because it is so overwhelming (the view seems more cluttered than Gmail). But we later appreciate very much because it is a lot more powerful. For example, you can tag people in your organization in a specific mail instead of forwarding the e-mail.A big plus is that you will be able to integrate with a entire suite of Zoho products: forms, campaigns, CRM etc. Some of these products do not exist for Google or is a lot better.A drawback of Zoho Mail is that you do not have all the cool labs of Google. Setting up signatures is a bit difficult. Canned responses do not exist. There may be some font issues if you are writing e-mails in non-alphabetic languages.The coolest thing is that their basic plan is free forever up to 15 e-mail addresses. I don't think there are many e-mail services out there that offer this level of flexibility for early startups.If you are interested, please use the link below to sign up. We will both receive 5 more free e-mail address slots from this invite. It is completely and forever free as long as you are below the limit for number of users. No trial, no credit card input, etc.EDIT: The limit is now 25 users + 5 free users from our referral linkLet me know if you have issues setting up!https://zm4.bz/7M01kkXa

Here is what NOT to do.  At least by my life experience...DO NOT start a business without a solid business plan.  Think of everything!  Every start up expense, operating expense, marketing expenses and how you will sell yourself to your customers.  Overhead, employees, taxes... really get into the nitty gritty.  Take your time with this plan before you commit to anything.  I strongly believe one's chances for success are greatly improved by working inside the industry before going out on your own... you would have specific knowledge of challenging aspects to the industry or specific type of business.  I vowed to myself that I'd never do it again... and learned twice that 20 hour workdays, sleeping on the floor of my shop, and constant investments in better equipment still wasn't enough to succeed.  Determination is good, but can also hold you back and let you spend many valuable years of your life chasing a dream that you did not plan out properly.DO NOT fall behind on taxes.  State and Federal Governments have unfettered access into your bank accounts... anything with your social security number attached.  Anything with your name tied to it, via state business licenses, registrations, etc.  They will come and deplete all your money (tenant deposits held in trust, employee wages, everything!) after signing their self-printed dummy judgments in administrative court.  I'm talking about ALL departments of government.  Labor and Industries (industrial insurance), Employment Security (unemployment insurance) and don't even get me started on the IRS.  They want to sink small businesses that deal in cash and are steadfastly trying to build large business bases that do not deal with currency (hard cash).  DO NOT loan money out privately unless you have an attorney in your pocket.  It takes years of experience to gain the knowledge to protect yourself in real estate or hard money loans.  If you do, always get security worth 2x to 3x or more street market value!!  i.e. first deed of trust ONLY, or assign yourself as lienholder on title, or UCC filings, etc.   I once lost my ass on a loan in second deed of trust position.  When the borrower defaulted, I had to make up the first mortgage delinquencies to foreclose my note.  Bad lesson in life.  Foreclosed on the property and ended up losing it anyway due to a crooked bank who would rather collect on the mortgage insurance than rework the promissory note.DO NOT buy rental property, especially single family residential, unless you are certain you are connected well with laborers who can fix and manage it.  You'll need back-up people to the primary people.  Time and time again, the hours it took me to pay monthly water, sewer, trash and other bills common to Landlording; fixing broken "things", repair screens, replace doors and appliances, clean up after every tenant... and just generally manage the properties could have earned me drastically more income had I focused on other things that paid hourly.  DO consider flipping property - I have made multitudes more $ with short term holdings that I bought for a song and flipped.  There is so much to go into regarding flips that I can't elaborate here... however, good research must be done on the particular property first!  (market value analysis, time-to-sale research, clear title).  Buy it at the auction; not REO or listed for sale.  Better yet, consider buying it in a pre-foreclosure situation by working with distressed people who are going to lose it regardless.   Some hard money lenders coin it "Loan to Own".   This is a dog-eat-dog world so best to consider hands-off approaches like ETF's if you don't have the backbone to be a bad-pass in real estate.  Landlording is for bad-asses and those who learn the courts fast and learn to use the garnishment procedure to recover their money.  Apartment buildings and large real estate ventures are a whole different story but being born rich helps to get a faster, bigger start in life.  Buying a 20 or 30 unit apartment building with an on-site manager isn't easy to get into before you're 40 but if you bank cash and keep your credit intact you may be able to pull it off.  Don't waste time with a duplex unless you can buy a couple on the same block.  DO consider purchasing an established business that you can have someone else run...  Like a franchise, or small retail like at an airport.  Yes, most businesses take money to start - i.e. nothing ventured, nothing gained.  It is much easier to buy a business and improve it, than starting from scratch.  There are incredible tax write-offs (travel, vacation conferences, toilet paper, electronic gadgets, and use your imagination) to owning a side business.   A friend of mine recently quit his primary job making a couple hundred G's a year only 8 or 9 months after buying a one-location small business.  He hit a home run selling lunch!It is one thing to own a business... it is another to buy and sell them!  Both the wealthiest person I personally know as my dear friend (retired at 47 and completely self-made), and the wealthiest person I've ever shook hands and held a conversation with (my employer's boss, $9+ Billion, started with 1 used car dealership) both buy private companies for a living (and buy them with other people's money!)  They are venture capitalists of a sort... but buying established businesses (i.e. plastic sheet extruder or a medical device manufacturer) that already make money is less adventurous than say, investing in a new virtual-reality headset manufacturer.  They seek out (usually, profitable) businesses that need to be sold for one reason or another... sometimes it's an owner retiring, or death, or other reasons... sometimes it's a convincing sales broker that can make $1M on one single business sale.  As a new owner he sometimes trims budgets or employees, or capitalizes on strategic alliances between his other holdings.  But usually he'll instill new management that owes no favors and operates purely for profit.  They fine tune the company, ramp up profits, then they often resell these businesses for huge profits, or hold onto them as part of a portfolio.These ideas are just some personal experiences, observations, and food for thought.  Good luck!  Life is quite a trip and by far the best part is the lessons you will learn on your own journey.The best advise I can give you is to often travel to 95% of the rest of the world that is multitudes poorer than the population where your dental school is.  Then you will know that you are already very wealthy.

The point of e-mail verification is to simply verify that the user does indeed own the e-mail, prevent false accounts, spammers, etc. Other than the "security check," there isn't a benefit to the user in having to check his/her e-mail before becoming engaged in the service. Not having to verify one's e-mail will always be a better user experience (the lazy registration).It's a security versus user experience argument. Now, I doubt that - unless the registration form is completely unusable in itself - using either method would actually make a difference in the number of sign ups. It would make more sense saying that the conversion rate after sign ups is potentially affected by this choice instead.Now if a verification is the way it must be, the verification message must be clear and distinct in order to not be detrimental to the user experience. In short, you want to minimize the chances that a user completes a registration form, expects to be able to fully engage in the service immediately after, and get confused/frustrated when he realizes that he is still locked out. Don't make the message appear as if the registration has been complete because, in reality, it isn't actually completed until the e-mail is verified.Some good Web articles regarding this pattern:http://www.90percentofeverything...http://www.alistapart.com/articl...http://www.90percentofeverything...

It’s easier to spot yourself in the background of a TV vox pop that way. Or It’s incredibly simple: just hold down the space bar, and the video will start playing at a slower speed, perfect when it comes to grabbing the perfect screenshot of a particular moment (and here’s how to do that on Mac [ https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201361 ]and PC [ http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/take-screen-capture-print-screen#take-screen-capture-print-screen=windows-8 ]).

Twitter soft block Twitter has a pretty good function in the mute button [ https://support.twitter.com/articles/20171399 ], which allows you to remain following an account but hides its tweets and retweets from your own timeline. It’s a great way of basically ridding a person from your Twitter experience without offending them by unfollowing. (People do not know when you mute them. To mute: click on the cogwheel to the right of somebody’s profile.) However what you often really want is to mute someone from reading your tweets. Here there’s an unofficial option that can help, it’s known as “the soft block”. This is a sly means of forcing a person to unfollow you by blocking and immediately unblocking them. Once they are unfollowing, your tweets and retweets will no longer appear in their timeline. 20. Twitter shortcuts Just as Photoshoppers know that shortcuts are the cornerstone of productivity, avid tweeters know that shortcuts are your friend. Did you know that pressing “n” will open up a new tweet dialogue box (on native web Twitter)? Or that you can easily favourite a tweet by simply pressing “f”? Here’s a list of Twitter shortcuts: Also: remember to always place a full stop before @-mention when tweeting something you want visible in your timeline, and not just another’s mention stream.

It's easy to conflate visual design from process.  Where visual design (e.g, Dropbox hand-drawn images can be inviting or comforting, visual design does not define process. And although it's true process has an impact on visual design, sign up processes have little impact on visual design.  (Although I put forth that use of Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Klout, Google+, etc.  OAUTH buttons can have a dramatically controlling or jarring impact on your visual design).  As I read through and consider the reference signup processes offered in the comments to date, it appears that they are nearly the same.  E-mail and password are, for most all sites, the minimum necessary inputs.  Name is necessary for others.  For those companies that have lived well enough to attract registration bots, hackers, spammers, or other nefarious agents, captcha and e-mail validation become a necessary component of the registration process.  Until recently , using LinkedIn OAUTH for site registration was insufficient because LinkedIn did not release the registrant's e-mail address. They have changed this policy so a single click registration is now possible using LinkedIn. Of course this only works if your registrant is already logged into LinkedIn - otherwise pop-ups, username, and password with a redirect are required.  Is that easier or better?  To the degree that you avoid captchas and e-mail address verification steps, perhaps.  But using LinkedIn for registration will almost certainly dissuade some meaningful percentage of people from registering and sharing with you all of their LinkedIn data.  Furthermore, you may not want to share with LinkedIn that their subscriber is now registered with your service.  Similar arguments and observations apply to Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.Perhaps breaking down the question to market and purpose are necessary.For example, if your company is mining Facebook data to build a new recruiting website, your registration process is dead simple.  In fact, it's constrained to the Facebook OAUTH process.  No other registration process would be useful or necessary.  In this case, the question is 100% visual design.  Similarly, if your site/service depends on access to a user's LinkedIn data, then too we are left with visual design.If however, your users need not share with you their FB or LI data, then you have some options - in fact, it could be argued too many options: e-mail and password, twitter, FB, LI, Klout, G+ just to name six.  There are operational pro's and cons to each:OAUTH pro's:  no captcha.  no e-mail verification step.OAUTH  con's: extra log-in step if browser is not already logged in.   "Authorization step."  User decision to share personal info.  Your  decision to inform OAUTH provider of your activity.e-mail/password pros:  quick, easy, and everyone "knows this one"e-mail/password  cons:  insufficient to fend off nefarious actors -- which means  introducing captchas, e-mail validation steps (there is also SMS  validation but that requires discussion of telephone numbers, privacy,  and market segments)If you get crazy, your registration page will start to look something like this one:Which brings us the the question of how to manage human error.  I've oft debated with my product teams the merits and demerits of single-field entry for e-mail and password.  Sure, having a single-field entry makes the visual design cleaner.  And it saves on typing.  But it's prone two two obvious errors:e-mail entry typos, and password entry typos.One can successfully argue that either error is recoverable.  My contention is that password typos are infinitely more recoverable than e-mail typos.  After all, "forgot my password" should be a staple of any site with a registration feature so if a user botches his or her password, that user will just have to suffer through discovering the inability to re-enter the site then go through a recover process.Of course, this completely fails when the e-mail is incorrectly entered.  My son has an email account for form @.com.  Notice there is no dot between first and last.  That's an important dot.  There is a military serviceman living in Georgia with the same first and last name as my son's who has .@.com.  That serviceman's payroll notifications come to my son's e-mail account.  Why?  Because when Mr. First Last serviceman set up his MilPay account he miss-typed his e-mail leaving out that oh so important dot.  Now he's screwed.  Every month or so he tried to reset his password since he cannot access his account and my son gets the reset password e-mails.  It's an unbreakable do-loop.  I've spoken with MilPay on the phone who can't do anything about unless Mr. First Last calls.  And I've written to big co. domain only to be ignored for all time.  So I fall heavily onto the side in favor of either the two-field e-mail address camp or the e-mail verification before proceeding camp.  Imagine screwing up your e-mail when registering for 500px, uploading 100's of pics, then logging out never to be able to log in again.  I tried it.  It can be done.  And you'd never receive the e-mail authentication message.Personally, I prefer the two-field password approach simply because of the number of times I've botched typing in a password and the asterisk masking of password entry convention prevents a visual check.  (I love when sites give me a "show password" button!).So what we have is a continuum of tradeoffs between process simplicity and operational requirements laid over market needs.Net-net, "simple" and "effective" may be goals in contention, just as visual design and process.  We all need to strive for the lowest friction (low dropout/incomplete rates) with high visual design while also meeting the "effective" constraints of our market and site's operational requirements.

Jaipur: Akash (name changed), a 27 year-old engineering student and a part-time job holder, resident of  Jaipur,  today got his heart broken when his girlfriend Sonia (name changed) decided to break up with him.“I am shocked, I did everything right, we were having a good time together till now; don’t know what happened suddenly that she decided to break-up with me!” Akash told Faking News.Here is the full interview of Akash:Reporter: So, first tell us, how you guys met?Akash: We met online, we chatted for hours and fell in love with each other. But now I have realized that “Online love and online shopping are kinda same, things look great in pictures and texts only”.Reporter: So how was it to be in love for the first time?Akash: Great! Almost! Well, everything looks great when you are in love, except your phone bill.Reporter: Looks like you spend  a lot of money on her?Akash: Yes, it happens. You can’t buy love but you have to pay a lot for it.Reporter: How come she suddenly wants to break-up with you?Akash: It is not sudden, in the last month she messaged me “I will be yours, jab tak hai jan”, I never knew that by “jan” she meant January.Reporter: Tell me, how was your Valentine week? I hope, you didn’t do anything wrong?Akash: No, it was quite good. Though things went a bit wrong when I brought her “Chocolate flavored condoms” on the Chocolate Day.Reporter: Today is Valentine Day and she wants to break-up with you, you must have said or done  something wrong?Akash: Not really, last night, when she called me and asked “You want to do something exciting tomorrow night?”, I replied “Yes, I want to watch Real Madrid vs Manchester United”. She got angry for no reasons.Reporter: Does it happen regularly or it was the first time you guys fought?Akash: Yes, once it happened, when few days ago she said “Let’s talk dirty” and I started talking about my socks.Reporter: So, you think, your girlfriend is dumb?Akash: Not really, I am told that you should never call your girlfriend dumb, one can always figure it out by noticing her choice.Reporter: There must have been a lot of arguments between you guys, no?Akash: Yes and I lost all of them because I think the only difference  between “An argument with your boss and an argument with your girlfriend” is that the boss at least pretends that he is listening.Reporter: There have to be a reason, did you forget her birthday or something?Akash: No, never. Actually I can never forget her birthday, it’s the only day when she doesn’t remind me about it.Reporter: When she told you that she wants to break up with you?Akash: Last night, at the LPG agency nearby.Reporter: LPG agency? Why?Akash: I took her there as she wanted to visit some place really expensive.Reporter: Do you have any pictures of her in your wallet, so that we can publish them with the interview?Akash: No, I don’t. I never keep my girlfriend’s pictures in my wallet, the empty wallet remind me of her anyway.

It depends on how many hundreds, and how you got the e-mails, so I will run through some scenarios:1 - you want to send e-mails to up to 2000 accounts, and those e-mails are real and want to receive your message.You can use Mailchimp. Is is free for up to 2000 e-mail accounts.2 - you want to send e-mails to up to 2000 accounts, but you have an old and not perfectly clean list (there are e-mails that are fake, others no longer exist, and many will remove your message or mark it as spam).You can try Mailchimp, but you will have to deal with three big problems.a. MailChimp will reject a list that it identifies as having too many fake e-mails. You will have to clean the list for it to be accepted (I think It will give you a list of sites that do that, but they are not free).b. After you send your first e-mail, Mailchimp might block you if too many e-mails mark your message as spam or return with “user unknown”. You will have a cleaner list (you can remove those e-mails), but will be blocked by Mailchimp. If you can make Mailchimp unblock you, you have advanced a little, because now your list is ‘cleaner’ than before.c. For some e-mail providers, if you go through a and b, you are good. An e-mail whose content is not marked as spam will probably arrive at the mailbox. Gmail is trickier. It will identify your next e-mail as from the same source of the e-mails you sent before. If you are sending spam, it will know and send your message to the spam folder. The simplest answer here is to not send spam to gmail.Anyway, Mailchimp is just doing the work of the e-mail provider, so that Mailchimp is not marked as a spammer, which means that, some way or another, those same issues will appear in some form in any e-mail solution you use.3 - you want to send many thousands of e-mails, and your list is made of valid e-mails from people who want to receive your messages.All you need is an internet connection with a fixed IP (it might not be free, but it is cheap). You can send your e-mails directly by using an e-mail server, which could be running on a windows server (or any windows) or a linux (there are some settings you will need to configure to follow each e-mail provider recomendation, remove invalid e-mails, set up feedback loops, deal with e-mail complains).The biggest problem here is outlook/hotmail. If nobody was sending valid e-mails from your IP, it will treat your e-mail as spam for more than 90% of the users, at first. But if those who receive your message like it, eventually it will start to send to a greater number of e-mails on your list.4 - you want to send many thousands of e-mails, but your list is not completely clean. There are e-mails that no longer exist. Some e-mails might be fake. Some people might consider your list as spam (which may happen even if they signed it).You go for the same solution as 3, but you will need an strategy to identify which e-mails want to receive your messages. If you just send your e-mails to all the list, you might remove complains and bad e-mails, so that your list is cleaner with time. There are a few problems, however:a. when too many people complain about your messages, or just remove them without reading, some providers will stop accepting your messages. They might inform you or not, but in any situation, it will become harder to keep cleaning the list.b. e-mail providers use spam-traps, e-mails that only exist to identify spammers. Some will tell you that your list has spam-traps, but will not identify which e-mail is the spam-trap (it is possible but hard to pinpoint the spam-traps) others will give you little feedback about it. One provider, in particular, has a few hundred false domains it uses as spam-traps, and block your list if you send even one message to one of those domains. To identify that spam-trap in particular is quite hard.c. even if people signed for your list, it needs to be interesting for them to keep reading. if they stop reading and answering your messages, clicking on links, the providers will start treating your messages as spam, even if all e-mails signed for the mailing list.5 - your list is just spam. You bought the list, or want to send e-mails that most users in the list don’t want to receive.Well, it is not impossible, people still get spam from time to time, but I really have no wish to help you in that situation :).

This is kind of an apples to oranges question. They serve two different purposes in advertising. You really aren't looking to convert Likes to sales. Most are using it to build brand awareness and talk to your brand. Some use their  Facebook community for customer service. Email signups are looked at more as people you've already sold to or looking to sell to. So if you're looking from a strictly bottom line sales perspective then email will get quicker results. The benefits of one like can take much longer to reflect in sales. And as mentioned before Facebook has made changes such as the recent Edgeranks and could do so again. Email isn't changing.All that being said, both are only worth as much as your content. To keep people subscribed to your emails you have to continue to send content they're interested in or they unsubscribe. Same with Likes, make a habit of boring content and you lose people. So your company could suck at emails but have great Facebook content and then your emails aren't worth anything. Opposite is also true. Also Facebook and email marketing don't make sense for every brand. In this day and age there are so many avenues to put out content you need a strategy that makes sense. If your market doesn't use Facebook much then a like is useless to you. Not every market uses email. I'd say email marketing to 65+ probably isn't very effective. Facebook might not be either. That is a growing demo on Facebook but you'd have to look at your product and see if either fits.Wow I sure rambled. Point is, it's not so cut and dry to me that an email is worth more than a Like. Do some research and decide for your brand.
