Quick Answers for Hosting Questions
Well since I had a little more time in between show this week, I figured I could quickly go through a few questions that were E-mailed to me while I was away.
The first one comes from Jim.
To Copy Protect or Not To Copy Protect?
I want to sell my music Online, but I want to put up samples of the songs that people can’t download without paying for, what should I do?
Jim, I say stay away from any type of script or service that promises you copy protection. As soon as you put those tunes Online in any way, shape or form - chances are they will be stolen.
What I would do is just release them all for free (might get better results this way - popularity wise). If you really want to earn a few bucks though you could always upload 30 second samples of the songs to play for folks when they want to hear what it sounds like.

Free FTP Program Suggestions
Hi Mitch, I am tried of my current FTP program, is there a super program out there or anything better that what I am using? I’m just looking for a few quality suggestions. Thanks!
Well, I was in the same boat recently and I had a few programs suggested for me to try out. Give Filezilla and xplorer2 lite a shot.
Our last question comes from Mark.
Podcast for a Podcast Guide
Any chance of you creating a “how to podcast” audio guide, like you have done with ecommerce and blogging? Thanks for putting on a great podcast too. I listen every week!
Never say never, and I’d say that sounds like a pretty good idea. I’ve written a few ghetto guides to podcasting, but I’ll see what I can come up with and if I can get something recorded on the topic, you can bet it will find its way here.
