I'm envisioning this area as a place to list people's offerings (services) and lots of convenient web links. Specific workshops will be listed under events.
A place to list Tips and information about service providers.
----- WEBSITES & HOSTING -----
NEW! I edited this section about websites on 8/1/06 10:45 AM.
Only $30 to start a website (includes 2 domain names, website hosting, and e-mail accounts).
This website is brand-new from 1and1.com, $5/month (including 2 domain names & web statistics). $30 is the first payment (for 6 months).
- They've been around since 1982, and are one of the best & biggest website hosts.
- 24-hr, 7-day a week phone support
- 90-day money-back guarantee
- I recommend the $5/month rather than the cheaper $3/month package because it includes statistics. You can see how many people are viewing your website pages.
- Not as good as the "3 years for free" package they used to offer...
$18 to start a website (includes 1 domain name, website hosting, and e-mail accounts).
Even cheaper! Their $3/month package doesn't have web statistics, but it works!
I've been trying their WebsiteBuilder to build this 10-page website prototype. No technical HTML coding necessary. Just fill out forms, link pictures, and presto!!! It's a little slow using an internet-based application, but it only took 3 hours to make the first prototype of this website Friday night 7/28/06.
Disclaimer: If you start a website using a 1and1.com link on this page, Spiritual Business Companions will get a $5-80 credit to help support our expenses. But I'm not recommending them because they offer an affiliate program.
In the future, I will be posting other good website hosts.
If you have a website and like their service, I'd love to receive e-mail about your experience. I will be starting webpages for each business service with testimonials and comments from community members.
2) Network Solutions is one of the oldest and reputable places. $10/month.
- Also has 24/7 technical support
- 30-day money-back guarantee
----- BUSINESS CARDS & FLYERS ----
NEW! Business cards section has new Aug 2006 specials. Edited 8/2/06 6:50 AM.
Check out the business card proofs from VistaPrint.com, recommended by Rachel Philips.
- I haven't received the cards yet, but I printed 2 versions on different paper stock to check the quality (80-lb matte & 100-lb matte).
- 24/7 phone support.
Options:
1) Standard cards: 250 Free color cards + $5.25 shipping = $5.25 total (2 cents/card).
2) Standard card with Customization: The card below has custom fonts added for $7.49 + $5.25 shipping = $12.74 (6 cents/card).
3) Premium cards: More templates for cards. 250 for $14.99 + $5.25 shipping = $20.24 (8 cents/card)
4) NEW! Until 8/6/06. Premium cards: 250 for free (+ shipping) by using this link I got this after I placed my first order, but it was lost in my SPAM folder. This link also allows 250 cards for $2.50 + shipping using your own uploaded business card designs (Normally $20.00 + $2.50 + shipping).Suggestions
1) Make a small order first. You can get two $10 rebates on next orders (The rebates will take 4-6 weeks to arrive, so you can't place 2 quick orders to use the rebates. Bummer...)
Notes
a) Customized cards - You will need to use a PC to customize cards on Vista Print's website. VistaPrint's website does not allow customization on Macintoshes.
b) Their website can store all your business card proofs for easy access. I have 10 different business card tests stored in my account.
c) Upload your own photos for an extra charge.

SAMANTHA RAVEN IS A DIVINER
She
inspires people to re-awaken to the truth of their own Divinity and
live in conscious co-creative connection with the Divine in whatever
form is most meaningful to them. She is dedicated to having a healing
impact on the world with her music. The music she offers is a sweet
reminder of what is really important. In her songs she asks: “How can
we expand
our awareness and become our own Divinity?”, and “How can
we tap into a universal power and actively co-create the life of our
dreams?” She captivates audiences with her powerful voice, her calm
grace and her words of wisdom. Her striking vocal style is unique and
refreshing and her voice has a pure bell-like clarity and grace. She
unveils her thoughts
and feelings with a rare combination of
vulnerability and strength. Her undulating melodies and well-crafted
lyrics will take you on a tour of yourself from the tender child to the
Divinity within.
