I hope one or more of my sites has been helpful for you. My name is Robert Rickover, and I am the creator and webmaster of these sites. I am an Alexander Technique teacher in Lincoln, Nebraska, and I also teach regularly in Toronto, Canada.
Contact/Feedback
Contact/Feedback
My purpose in creating these websites has been to present relevant resources in a systematic and user-friendly format. If you have suggestions for changes or additions, or if you know of any information that I have not listed, please click here for my contact information. I am always looking for new material to include.
Support
The maintenance of these sites takes a fair amount of time. If you would like to help support this project, please consider using the links listed on this page. Many take you directly to the homepages of the companies listed while generating small commissions for me on any purchases you make - at absolutely no cost or inconvenience to you. Some of these suggestions may well save you time and money. These are all companies I use myself on a regular basis.
Please note: In order for me to receive a comission on anything you order from the companies listed on this page, you have to use the links on this page. If you bookmark the page you get to by using one of these links, future purchases will not be credited to me. Please bookmark this page and use it as a way of getting to companies you may wish to use in the future. I realize that requires one extra step, but it does a great deal to help support these sites.

AMAZON.COM, AMAZON.CO.UK and AMAZON.CA also pay us a commission for any item ordered at any time through our links to their home pages. Please use one of these links when making future purchases of any kind.* Your support is greatly appreciated! (I'd like to say a special "thank you" for all the people who have done this. It is incredibly gratifying to see, as I do on occasion, a day's listing of book orders, none of which are related to my websites!)
(*For technical reasons to do with how Amazon processes these links, the page they take you to cannot be "bookmarked" in the usual way. You need to use the actual links on this page - you have to bookmark this page in order to do this - or you can go to this page where just the links and their underlying URLs are listed. Then you can bookmark that page or, if you prefer, insert the relevant URL directly into your browser preferences folder.)
Websites for Alexander Technique Teachers
If you are an Alexander Technique teacher you can quickly and easily have your own customized and professionally-designed website for very little money - absolutely no technical expertise needed! Here are your two options: Option One and Option Two. If you take advantage of either of these two offers, you can also have a free MP3 interview for your site.
Audio Interview for your Website
An MP3 interview with you for your website can go a long way towards making perspective students comfortable with the idea of calling you to arrange a lesson. You can listen to several examples here. To learn more about the process and how to arrange an interview click here. (These interviews are all with teachers of the Alexander Technique. However you can certainly arrange for an interview if you work in a different field.)
Web Hosting
If you are planning to host your own web site, you will need a hosting company. HostMonster is regularly listed among the top 10 web hosting companies by independent surveys and hosts many thousands of websites around the world. The company is based in Utah and has been around since 1996. It combines very economical pricing and, in my experience, an extraordinary level of reliability with efficient, friendly 24/7 phone and email support. It also has the most intuitive, easy-to-use control panel I've seen anywhere. You can host an unlimited number of separate domain names on just one account at no extra cost, making it ideal for web designers, webmasters or anyone who hosts multiple domains. With HostMonster, you also get one free domain name. If you have, or want to register, more than one domain name, 1&1 (see below) is the best choice for the additional names even if they are all hosted by HostMonster.
Click on the logo to learn more about HostMonster. If you use that link to order web hosting from them, I receive a commission which helps support this site. If you have, or are planning to have a website, consider adding an MP3 interview to help attract new students.
Inexpensive Domain Name Registration
 If you have a website with it's own domain name, you will need to register that name. Over the past decade, registration costs have dropped from $100/year to under $10/year for most domains. Yet many people are still paying $15-20/year or more for what is essentially a simple record-keeping process. I've found 1&1 to be the least expensive registrar available, but without any sacrifice in convenience, control panel ease of use or customer service. Many special features such as private domain registration, that you would normally pay extra for are, included for free.
If you click on the logo and order any service from them, I receive a small commission. (Note: if you just have or want to register one domain name, HostMonster - see above - gives you one free domain name when you use their hosting services.)
Soda Club Home Soda Maker
I've used Soda Club for over three years. It is an extremely convenient method of making carbonated soda (plain or flavored) in your home at a fraction of what it costs at the store. (My personal favorite is plain soda with a little fresh lime juice. I go through four to five glasses a day and reckon I save at least $400/year over store-bought club soda.) You also avoid having to cary cartons of plastic bottles home, not to mention the ecological advantages of consuming less plastic. If you
click here or on the image and order from them, I receive a commission.
Drugstore.com
Drugstore.com offers a wide range of health productds - just about anything you would find in a very large drugstore. Their prices are excellent, as is their customer service. If you click here or on the image and order from them, I receive a small commission.
Puritan's Pride Vitamins and Herbal Products
Puritan's Pride is a large mail-order source of vitamins and herbal products. They carry just about any product of this type you can imagine and their prices are excellent, as is their customer service. If you click here, or on the image and order from them, I receive a small comission.
Low Cost Magazine Subscriptions
Magazineline offers remarkable savings on just about any magazine you can think of. I've found them to very effecient at processing orders. Click here, or on the image to order from them, and I receive a small commission.
Hotwire Travel Site
Hotwire is a travel site that, in my experience consistently has the lowest airfares and hotel rates. It features an easy-to-use interface. I'll receive a small commission if you click here or on the hotwire logo and make a purchase.
Liability Insurance
If you are an Alexander Technique teacher, (or a massage therapist or other type of bodyworker), and are looking for liability insurance, I highly recommend the Association of Bodywork and Massage Professionals. You can get information from their website, or via Email, or by phoning 1-800-458-2267. They are friendly, efficient and offer discounts for AT teachers who are members of ATI. If you indicate you were referred by me (Robert Rickover, Membership ID 140075), I receive a discount on my own policy, which helps pay for this website.
Website and Internet Advice
Over the past few years, I've learned quite a bit about how the internet works and I am available for email or telephone consultations should you want help or advice on getting started with a website of your own and successfully promoting it. An initial free consultation will allow us to determine if I can be of help to you. You can contact me by email or by phone: 402-475-4433.
Finally, if any of my sites have been useful to you and you'd like to share your experiences with other visitors, please send them to me at this Email Contact
