Are you looking for something more than attaching an mp3 or 4 to an email...... I just record a file on my phone and send it as an email.
I'm sure there are "record a voice"....online services that you can use for free.
I get the feeling the more I type....the less I'm helping....oops

yes, I want to be able to send a file bigger than a little voice clip from my phone. Like read a story book out loud, record it, then send the book and the recording to my grandchild so that they can hear me reading the book as they turn the pages. My parents used to do this for my kids when they were little, and I don't know how to do it for my own grandkids now.
sounds like something I definitely need to learn! Is there any way just to do audio and not the video?
I guess I'm not very familiar with G+, I've searched all over it since you mentioned it and I can't find where I'm supposed to look. Could you give me a few pointers? thanks!

I purchased the .net, .org and .ca domains along with my .com. what do you do so that if someone types in for example yourdomain.org it redirects to your .com site?
By the way, the question you asked about a .org redirects to your .com only if you own both and set up the redirect. A simple redirect is frowned upon by Google - but a solid article keeping 100% within the content and relativity of "who you are within the website name" will be just fine with Google, but to simply redirect for the sake of owning the same base domain with different Dot whatevers - that can get you in trouble with Google. Google likes unique, content relative articles or information and yes, you can have within the content of a paragraph and word that is Hyperlinked to your .Com site or Money Site or Wherever you want to direct the visitor.
Okay... enough of me for now!!
Thanks for both your replies, excellent information and helping me to scale this enormous learning curve!
Greetings, and if I can share a concept or two. I've been online since the mid 1990s and played with domain registrations from many different angles... and by no means am I the professional or expert, but I've been there and done that for sure.
Dot Com is what the net started with and today, you can virtually have a Dot "something" for almost everything!!
I believe that the most important aspect is "content" and "relativity". Keeping these two as your primary mandatory objective, you will be in an excellent position to Keyword/Niche/Build a site and Promote as best you are able. There are many theories regarding PPC (Pay Per Click) CPA (Per Aquisition) and many other ways to get your site in front of people. Utilizing your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest along with Google + are also favorable possibilities - but most importantly is being honest to your niche and finding Keywords that can give you the most favorable opportunity for Google Ranking.
I went so far in the mid-1990s as trying to say: It the Internet wanted Dot Com so much... It would've called itself the Intercom! I did this because my very first domain name was taken as a .com two weeks before I made my $35 purchase back in the day. I was furious because I wanted that name for several months and was stuck on learning how to build a website as opposed to securing my domain. Hind-sight is always 20/20.
Best of luck to you in 2015... you can make it with almost any DOT something... as long as your content is relative to your domain name, keywords SEO and niche. Video tutorials or informational types are always very good (be sure to keep them under 5-minutes - we don't have an attention span anymore... :)) and if you start with Google+ they will automatically migrate (through Google) to your YouTube channel (assuming you have one - if not, please set one up.)
Any way - this is a gigantic topic... but I hope I didn't chew your ear off too much!!
Hi J'anne,
I think this is an excellent idea of buying up all the domain extensions so your competitors don't buy them and try to compete with you.
I would only focus on using the .com one though. It's not good to have a bunch of redirects because Google doesn't like this. Try and keep things simple when first starting out.
Scott
In my opinion there was no need to buy 4 domains. I would suggest you to work on just one (preferably .com) and forget about the others. Make it simple, don't bother with redirections.
oh, ha ha, too late. I was watching some of Kyle's training about buying domain names and he was advocating buying the .org or .net domains if .com wasn't available, and I really don't want some competitor buying my domain name with a different extension.
Given the low cost of domain name registration, that's an excellent way to go. Having all the names for your own keeps any future competitor from diluting your brand ID.
You can do this with the domain name provider. I have personally redirected .org, .net and .ca website names to my .com site. It may depend on the domain name provider. For those purchases I used GoDaddy and it was an easy process to do that redirection. I don't know if the same service is available at namecheap, though.
Hope this helps and best wishes. Glyn
Glyn, I can't tell if you can do that at Namecheap unless you are using their nameservers. I've never personally tried it. Their tech support may have a way to do it for people who are using other nameservers.
Janne, You should probably check with namecheap support to see if they can help.
Oops, my mistake. I thought that you had your registrations at Namecheap since Glyn had mentioned them..
You can easily do it online if they are with GoDaddy - that's what I did anyway, and it works in a flash!
You would need to build a website with each name to do something like that. You can not just direct a domain name to another without a site behind it.
From what I've seen, the recommended way to do this is by adding a 301 (permanent) redirect line in the .htaccess file for each of the sites you want redirected to your .com site.
Here's an excerpt from article on the process:
"301s Are Google Approved and Visitor Friendly
301 redirects are at the top of Google’s recommendations for redirecting visitors. Furthermore 301s are the accepted industry best practice, and should be honored by all other search engines as well. They are also honored by browsers, web crawlers and other tools — anything that supports HTTP 1.0 will support them. In the year 2011, that is everything, possibly including your refrigerator.
301s also have the added benefit of being extremely fast, cutting load time drastically. So they’re not only easy to put in place on your server (one rule should do it!), but are the fastest and most compatible solution."
Source: http://www.ateamsystems.com/tech-blog/using-301s-to-redirect-visitors-between-domains-seo-friendly/
thanks Bob, I appreciate you giving me the details, now to figure out how to do it as it's a bit above my skill set at the moment!
The line of code that goes into the .htaccess file for your .org and .net sites is:
Redirect 301 / http://mysite.com/
Adding that line will cause any access of the .org or .net site (represented by the first /) to be redirected to the .com site that's listed.
I believe they are all each separate entities. The only thing I can think of is by using a redirect page but to me that would be a shame because you have so much real estate to deal with so why not use it all to your best benefit.

If you follow this video it will help you forward all your website emails to one central one.

Hi J’Anne,
I sometimes find this annoying as well, but I don't find it to be that big of a deal. If you would like to handle everything through outlook then you can have all your domain specific email forwarded to your Outlook.
Personally I would never sacrifice the quality of hosting here just because I have to login to another place to check my email.
Some of the things I would think would be a reason to leave your website here are:
Hosting comes included with your membership. (No extra costs)
The newly added website manager which keeps track of your website health and shows you areas that need improvement. On top of that there's a list of other features you won't find with any other hosting provider that I have listed below:
WordPress optimized servers
The most secure hosting anywhere
Full redundancy
Daily backups
24/7 website monitoring
Fully managed
Website auto login
If you add this request to this post here and ask Kyle to add this to the list I'm sure he would be glad to do this for you.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/kyle/blog/your-community-your-feedback-our-improvements
I hope this helps you out J'Anne and offers you some valid reasons why you should continue hosting with WA. The choice is up to you but I just thought I would share this information with you.
Cheers
Scott
Thanks Scott, those are good reasons to stay. Could you help me forward my email to Outlook, I have tried repeatedly and I haven't been successful yet.
Yes it is your own choice but i have found that moving a website can be a very troubling experience. But find out from godaddy if they do what you want else it would be paying twice for hosting. My suggestion is to go to support and ask them if they can help you in any way.

here is WA tech support's reply:
Website Help about 2 hours ago J,
WA currently does not allow custom DNS record services. You can use the Email facility provided by WA
I will be curious to know how difficult it will be to move my website back to GoDaddy.
Have you tried setting up forwarding? I have emails for my sites that all forward to one place.
Hi Jason, if you have more than one website, which I do, and all your emails get forwarded to a general email, how do you respond to emails? From your general site instead of your domain specific email? That just seems unprofessional to me.
That's true it is somewhat convoluted. Maybe give Google a try.... I'm Not absolutely sure how it works, but I've seen it done. Maybe some more info here https://iwantmyname.com/domains/domain-transfer looks like they charge $10 though. But I would double check with tech before taking the jump just to make sure nothing of yours will break.
You can do it with gmail and specify to have a reply address same to the one with which you received the email.
I have half a dozen emails forwarded to a gmail address, some from webmails and some from other gmail addresses, and I can reply to each email with the original address.
that's good news, perhaps I will try that before I uproot my website from here. Thanks for that solution!
Your premium membership includes domain hosting, so it would be like paying twice to host your website (s). I guess it is up to you. :)
yes, paying twice, because I can't get what I need here. I haven't heard any reason to stay here other than cost. I will have to consider the cost of hosting here as simply the educational cost.

I am having difficulty installing Rapid Mailer on my WP site, the key they gave me is wrong. Now their tech people want access to my WP site and my FTP user name and password so
Yes. I used to be a Rapid Mailer user.. It is OK to give them your login credentials. This way they can fix the problem much quicker and easier.
You can always change the password after they are done if this will make you fell more at ease!
