Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Start Your Own Business

enabling anyone to download
our 8 Lakh text resumes, in order to popularise:

  • Resume Rater

  • Concept of Raw Score


I refer to our yesterday's discussions.

Biggest problem seems to be the FILE SIZE, even if we breakup 8 lakh resumes into 800 files of 1000 resumes each (~100 MB each),
our server cannot handle such large downloads — especially if several users try to download “packets” simultaneously.

Maybe solution lies in uploading 8 lakh resumes (~80 GB) onto some “file sharing/file transfer websites.”
There, we can create 40 files of 2 GB each, to cover all 8 lakh.

Then obtain 40 links (one for each file)

Then email these 40 links to 100,000 corporates.
When they click on any link, they get to download 20,000 resumes!
With 40 links in their email, they can continue downloading at their convenience/leisure — without loading OUR server!

Having downloaded 8 lakh resumes, hopefully they will also use Resume Rater.

✔️


Would you like this added into the consolidated Word document with the rest of the handwritten strategy notes?

Google Search
"Download large files free"
Context: START YOUR OWN BUSINESS
Giving Away 8 lakh Resumes – FREE!

www.YouSendIt.com

  • File size = 2 GB = approx 20,000 resumes of 100 KB each

  • Seems like a PAID/chargeable service. Pl. examine

  • We have to enter email IDs of the intended “recipients” in an online form.
    Then “YouSendIt” will notify those recipients to come & download.
    Does not look very practical!


www.SendSpace.com

  • Under FAQs, look-up
    “Can I create and share an online folder of files?”
    “What is a SendSpace Dropbox?”


I believe this website has a provision where,
after uploading our files (any no.) — up to 1.5 GB = 15,000 resumes of 100 KB each —
we can inform intended “recipients” (100,000 corporates?) by email,
directly from our end, thru PROMO email.
Maybe we can provide such a ‘link’ on our “Start Your Own Business” page.


“SendSpace Lite” is free (300 MB), but
good enough for QUICK experiment to establish that this service works!


Let me know if you'd like both this and the previous sheet added into a Word document version of the “Start Your Own Business” notes.

www.TransferBigFiles.com

Here too, we have to enter email IDs of intended recipients in an ONLINE form. Obviously we cannot enter 100,000 email IDs!

This website will inform those recipients to login & download the file. Same problem with "YouSendIt.com".

Whereas,
we would like to send the link directly from our end, to 100,000 corporates, with a PROMO email, explaining how they can benefit by downloading 8 lakh resumes – FREE!


http://email.about.com/od/sendbigfilesviaemail/gr/pando.htm

This is worth looking up. It says,
“Files packaged with Pando can also be made available for download on any site or blog.”


There are several hundred small job sites (Indian).
They don’t have large Resume Databases – so no one visits them.
If they can write on their “RESUME SEARCH” page:

“Free Download of 800,000 resumes from here”

Then, they may be quite willing to provide, on one of their webpages, a link to IndiaRecruiter.
Our own pagerank will go up if we get a few hundred INCOMING links!

Let me know if you'd like this combined into a Word document with previous pages for the full “Start Your Own Business” strategy memo.

Here is the transcribed text from the image:


http://www.download.com/Attachmore-Send-Large-Files/3000-2654_4-10640477.html

Free software called
"Attachmore – Send Large Files 1.0.1"
(so far 2091 downloads)
(Do read review of one user)

This looks like a PERFECT answer to our problem!
Links generated can be emailed by us directly to 1 lakh corporates.


Lookup "Beta Release 8" (what’s new)


Requires entering email IDs of recipients!


Let me know if you’d like this included in a compiled Word document along with the previous strategy notes.
