How do I get a free email account?
Many companies on the internet provide free, "web-based" email. These
accounts work much like a post office box. They will give you an email address
and some space on their computer where your messages are stored. To get your
mail, you will have to go to that website, sign on with a username and password,
and check your inbox for messages. You can also send messages out to people
from the same place. This can all be done from any computer that is connected to
the internet. You don’t have to use the same computer all the time to send and
recieve mail. A few places you can go for this service:
yahoo.com -
hotmail.com -
geocities.com -
netscape.com -
msn.com
Can I get email from ConsciousTouch.com?
When you become a member, you will be able to have people send email to
your_username@conscioustouch.com, but we will not keep any email in storage
for you. Instead, your email address with us will be set to automatically forward
all messages to your actual email address, wherever that may be. This will allow
you to "screen" your emails, because the sender will not know your actual email
address, just your "virtual" email address with us.
What kind of ads are posted on this site?
We will have two kinds of postings on this site. One type will be opportunities
and announcments for practitioner members. This area of the site will always be
free and open to all members, but will be password-protected so only other members
may view it. It will not be open to the public. The other kind of postings will be
paid public ads for individual practitioners. This part of the site will be open to all
visitors, and it will be a way for people to find massage therapists and alternative
health practitioners.
How will people know to come to ConsciousTouch.com to find my ad?
We will naturally be registered with all the standard internet search engines and so
forth. But, more importantly, ConsciousTouch.com will also be advertised in
large-circulation printed newspapers like the Chronicle/Examiner, the Guardian,
the Weekly, the Pacific Sun, etc. This will not occur, however, until we have
enough interest by members to be sure that we can cover the costs of advertising
the website in those newspapers.
How is this any different from other internet classifieds?
ConsciousTouch.com is a website run by therapists, for therapists. If you look
at other internet classified ads, you will have to sort through many ads to find
a legitimate practitioner. We will list only professional, certified therapists
who can show credentials - such as a certificate of graduation from their school. Any ads
or members which appear to be providing anything other than professional
therapeutic services may be removed from the site. ConsciousTouch.com will become known
as the place to go to find quality, reputable bodywork and alternative health services.
Why do you ask for school information?
In the interest of building a community of certified, professional, reputable
practitioners, we want to know where you attended classes, when you
graduated, and so forth. This site is only for professional, certified therapists
who can show credentials - such as a certificate of graduation from their school.
