Frequently asked questions about the ALH Uploader Program: (940620)
1) Once I receive the coded disks, is it my responsibility to
place announcements in various places, i.e., BBS's, Internet, etc
to market the books?
Yes
2) If the answer to the above question is "yes", and there are a
number of people doing this, how do we keep from stepping all
over each other?
Yes, there are a number of people doing the program...but, there
are about 100,000 BBSes minimum in existence, and at least 5-10
new systems a day, also the Internet is growing at 20% each
month...Do not worry, there is enough out there for everybody.
I have only heard of one case that an uploader logged onto a
smaller system and it was already there. It may be on the
bigger ones, but there are a lot of BIG systems, and if you get
on them, then you can have thousands of viewers looking at your
messages & files. Don't even let "cross-over" bother you, it is
not a big enough problem, and it probably won't be a problem for
quite a while.
3) Where are the best places to upload this information and what
techniques are used to attract people? Do you have a recommended
format?
The best places to put this is everywhere. Some "small" systems
have turned in a LOT of registrations, and some big ones too.
Everywhere is a good word here...everywhere....:-)
4) Is the information available in Mac format?
Not in Mac format specifically, but we can send it to you over a
BBS or the Internet, and you can download it - then immediately
start uploading it to the systems of your choice.
5) How are you going to know when a person registers your
software, that it was uploaded by me in the place they got it?
In order for us to identify you as the uploader, we will issue
you a 4 digit code and place it into the order form...but I can
hear you asking, what if they don't use the orderform...well, we
have got that covered too...In addition to placing it on the
orderform, we include it in our address! That way, there is no
way there could be an error!
6) How am I going to know how many registrations occur by my
uploads?
We will send you a check each time someone registers the
program...I know that this doesn't give you the answer you
want...I think the best way to answer your question is to relate
a true story about an uploader...this uploader had the same
question, but what he did was have a friend of his register on of
the cheap programs, I think it was like 8 bucks to register...and
we sent him his money...then, one day I received a letter
thanking me for my honesty and that he was going to start
"uploading like crazy" (apparently he did not upload anything
until he got his check for his friend)...but since then, this guy
has really been uploading - as has he has turned into one of the
very best uploaders in my whole entire program!
7) How often is a payment cycle on the commission checks?
As soon as the registration check clears, we pay the
uploader...no delays here. The faster I give you money, the
happier you will become.
8) How much is a commission on a registration?
Our "patriot collection" pays $5.00 per registration. We are
always adding new programs, and the commissions vary...sometimes
the authors pay well, and sometimes they don't...sometimes they
want every uploader working their program, and sometimes they
don't.
9) What are the names (eMail address) of the other people that
seem to be doing rather well at this?
I do not have permission to release anyone's names...but again, I
haven't asked anyone...:-)
10) Where are you physically located?
We are located in Beverly Hills, California Republic in North
America.
11) Did you write this software and/or how did you get it?
We enter deals with shareware authors, and some of the
programs...namely, the patriot files, are mine.
12) What is your main interest in all of this?
The main reason the program got started was a chance to help
spread "truth" throughout cyberspace about what is happening in
the country and to help the patriot pay their phone bill while
spreading the word...Then, the (uploader's) program had such a
tremendous response, I decided to make it into a business. With
that, we started contacting (and being contacted by) shareware
authors who wanted to know if I would add their program to our
service...and here we are today.
13) I can get by with the service that I have on getting the job
done but, do I really need to get other capabilities like (Internet's)
FTP and Telnet? Getting it is not the issue, what I want to know is -
is it absolutely needed?
FTP & Telnet, or even Internet access is NOT required. What is
required is a modem and a list of bulletin boards to call. But
yes, if you have Telnet, FTP or Internet access ...all the more
places to upload to!
14) Just who exactly am I supposed to upload this stuff to once I
get it? Associated Shareware type place or any BBS/Internet
BBS/Anon-FTP site on the face of the planet? What regions do
others cover?
Upload it everywhere. We will put in a copy of a few current
BBSlists in with the program, just in case you don't have one
that is handy. For example, on our "patriot files" we will send
you the patriot BBSlist from Excelstor, this is the largest and
best list of patriot & freedom oriented boards.
15) How long have you been in business?
I have been involved in computers for well over 15 years, but the
uploading company is about a year old - and it is really taking
off! :-)
16) Do you have a prospectus on your company/organization I can
have?
We do not release that data other than to investors. This is a
private common-law contractual organization.
17) For an average days work, how much is an average days pay?
Not to be set as a day of pay but some sort of time frame per
money equivalent.
We have no averages, there are some who are "going to town" and
some who are "falling asleep"...basically, it's up to you.
18) Do others typically d/l everything that you have and u/l all
of it to ever where? What is the practiced style?
Basically, it appears that most people order it all and upload it
all...but that is just an average...it is entirely up to you.
19) Please answer all other missing stupid questions. Thanks.
Please ask them......:-)
