8 Ways to Build your Database using Facebook
8 Ways to Build your Database using Facebook
Hi,
Thank you so much for supporting this great new group. I would like to take a moment to share some simple yet effective Facebook strategies to help boost your PT business.
I understand some of you may already be using some of these but are you using all of them? This is just the tip of the ice berg.
1) Start a fan page which is really easy to do add your logo and description. (remember to add the link to your fanpage on your website)
2) Get some photos of your studio/work place, you in action training clients, some individual client photos (to make sure every existing client has a photo on your page), a group photo of all your clients (be sure to tag them all) and a nice professional shot of yourself and add them to your fan page
3) Get some videos of you in action, client testimonials at least 3, before and after pics and a video profile of you your qualifications and your services you have to offer. (remember to get a whole heap of written testimonials as well)
4) Start a Youtube account and link it to facebook so that every time you do a video you download it to Youtube (for the world to see) and it automatically goes to your facebook page.
5) Invite your whole database to be your facebook friends by searching them with their email address then invite them to your fanpage (the trick now is to have them invite all their friends to your fanpage… even if necessary by asking them to)
6) Have a competition for your existing clients eg: the client who invites the most friends to the fan page will win 1 months PT – have the PT additional to their existing training so it doesn’t cost you any money. Eg they do 1 session a week so for the next month they will do 2. This is a great technique for up selling also.
7) Start using the fanpage to communicate to your clients everyday congratulate them on their fantastic sessions etc…
Localized paid ads – advertise your fan page to boost your database as well you can do this for as little as per day 
If you complete this in the next week you will see your database skyrocket and then remember to keep all leads and add them to your email list for your monthly newsletter which has birthdays, promos, special mentions etc…
Yours in Personal Training

How to Setup Your Own Blog with WordPress
What is a blog?
Blog or weblog is a term used to describe web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. It is a frequently updated, personal website featuring diary-type commentary and links to articles on other Web sites. Blogs may contain a single category such as web development, electronic gadgets, love and relationship or it could be a combination of two or more.
Common sections found in blogs
A main content area with articles listed chronologically, newest on top. Often, the articles are organized into categories.
An archive of older articles.
A way for people to leave comments about the articles.
A list of links to other related sites, sometimes called a “blogroll”.
One or more “feeds” like RSS, Atom or RDF files.
Now that you have a basic idea what a blog is, let us talk about how to setup a wordpress for your blog. But first lets see the requirements.
Below are the prerequisites before you can use WordPress
1. Your web host must support PHP scripts. WordPress is written in PHP so you should see to it that your host have PHP installed. Check also the version of the PHP against the recommended PHP version that your WordPress will use.
2. Database. See to it that you have at least 1 MySQL database. All your blogs/contents will be stored in tables inside the database.
3. Optionally, it is preferable to have your host run Apache on Linux. Although WordPress runs on other web servers, you have many more options on how you can configure the structure of your site and the links (or “permalinks”) to your pages if your site runs on Apache.
How to Install WordPress
1. Download the latest WordPress software and unzip it if it is a zipped file.
2. Locate the wp-config.php or wp-config-sample.php if the former is not present. Then look at this set of codes.
define(’DB_NAME’, ”);
define(’DB_USER’, ”);
define(’DB_PASSWORD’, ”);
define(’DB_HOST’, ”);
DB_NAME = name of the database
DB_USER = Mysql database username
DB_PASSWORD = Mysql database password
DB_HOST = Mysql hostname
You may ask assistance from your web host tech support to get the values needed above. After modifying those lines, save the file as wp-config.php
3. Upload all the files to your web host. This will take long specially if your internet connection speed is slow.
4. After uploading all those files open your browser and go to www.domainname.com/wp-admin/install.php. Change “domainname” to your own domain name.
5. Follow the instructions that you will see on each page.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed WordPress. You can start posting to your blog by going to www.domainname.com/wp-login.php, logging in in with the “admin” user name and the password supplied to you earlier and following the instructions given on that page.
Few Blogging Tips
Post regularly, but don’t post if you have nothing worth posting about.
Stick with only a few specific genres to talk about.
Don’t put ’subscribe’ and ‘vote me’ links all over the front page until you have people that like your blog enough to ignore them (they’re usually just in the way).
Use a clean and simple theme if at all possible.
Enjoy, blog for fun, comment on other peoples’ blogs (as they normally visit back).

How to move our Wordpress to Another Host via Database
How to move our Wordpress to Another Host via Database
Today i want to share, how to migrate our wordpress blog into another host. I do not know why you will you do this, maybe you choose bad host services (oftenly down) or you have short off your space or bandwith. No more way to fix it except move your web into another host. What ever is your problem is, i will show you how to move your wordpress blog into new host. In this case, i want to transfer my Precast Concrete Technology web into new host.
There are two major way you can get through this,
FIRST you can export via xml files,
and the SECOND were via Database.
In this tutorial, i will concern with Database way, because it much easier for me.
To migrate our wordpress blog with database implant all you need is Backup your database first. Then deploy it into new location. But do not forget to backup the files also!
Step-by-Step to move our wordpress via database :
Login into your OLD directory of blogs, and download your wp-config.php file
Open those wp-config.php file, and find your database name. It will displayed below this sentences /** MySQL database username */. It will looks like define(’DB_USER’, ‘***_wrdp**’); . The “**” sign will be differ every blogs.
Next step is Login into your OLD CPANEL site, and choose PhpMyAdmin to backup your database. Select the proper database name (info from wp-config.php), then click export button on the top sidebar. Click the “save as file” option, then fill database name. Next, click GO button. And save it into your hardisk.
The next step is backup your files inside your directory, just come inside wp-content folder, then backup Plugins, theme, and Upload Folder. You can compress this folder first, than download it (to make the file smaller and easy to download). Use this backup process via File Manager Inside your Cpanel.
After all of “backing up stuffs” done, you should change your Domain DNS (Name Server) with new DNS of your new host. maybe this will make you wait until it resolved. It times depend on your host, it could be 3 hours until 24 hours.
After your Domain were redirected into new Host correctly, all you have to do is Login into your CPanel and Create new Wordpress (install). You can Use Fantastico, or you can install manual. It’s all up to you, just remember that YOU MUST remember what Database Name for the new Wordpress installation. In this parts i will not teach you how to Install Wordpress, because when you read this, you must ever install wordpress, even it only once. LOL
After you succeed installing new wordpress, just open MyPhpAdmin and select database name for the new wordpress that you’ve been installed before. Make sure that you have select the correct database name!. Then click “Check All” option and select “Drop” Menu. Then click Go button. You will have last confirmation about dropping this table, just click YES. Then all the result is all table were deleted successfully.
Next Step is importing your old database into this database. To do that step, just click Import button on the top sidebar, and choose your saved database by click “Browse”. Then click Go. Just wait the magic comes out (i mean importing succeed).
Last Step to do, were uploading your file backup (plugins, themes, and upload folder). You can using FTP software or using File Manager through CPanel. If you follow my instruction before, you should upload your ZIP backup into “wp-content” folder, than extract it.
All step has DONE. Your site will works fine, but first time you login into your wordpress, maybe there will be one message shown from wordpress to confirm Database Upgrade. Don’t worry, it’s natural!. Just click the Upgrade button. And all your efforts will be finish.
Some time, you should need to re check your permalinks, maybe it changed (it should be not change), but please check it for make sure.
