How to make money using PLR content.

I don't know about your views on using PLR content for your blog and making money but in my experience, they are gold mine.

To dig the gold out of PLR content, you should be willing to learn some techniques and they cost money. But, if you are a self learner, you can spend time in the Internet, do your research, compile data and use them to make money by blogging.

But if you are not up to this ardous task, I can give you a nice spread of buffet on a silver plate and you only have to eat and enjoy. Got my point?

I will not rob you of your life savings. Just pay me $4 and I will teach you how to earn money by blogging using PLR content.

Choosing Topic for your Blog which is right for you

One of the readers of the blog asked my advice on how to choose the right niche to work in. While it looks like and easy question to answer, in reality it is not. I have personally started several blogs, which I got eventually bored with, thus placing them in the passive mode. I have other blog, quite interesting and attractive, but appeared to be unmarketable and unprofitable (at least, for me). I have found a nice post by Daniel Scocco at DailyBlogTips, where he reviews the possible reasons of the blogging failure, based on the improperly chosen blogging niche. Presenting the post for your attention. 

A lot of people want to make money blogging, and a most of these people will fail miserably. There are 1000 reasons why this happens (and happens so often), but I find that one of the most common reasons a blog fails is because of the subject it is about.

No, not because you picked a subject that is way over saturated. And no, not because you picked a subject that is hard to monetize. What I am talking about here is when you pick a subject that you, the writer, have no business writing about in the first place.

You see, the number of people with blogs about a subject they either have no real interest in, no real passion for, no real experience with, no real knowledge about, or any combination of the four, is, quite frankly, pretty freaking insane. And hilarious.

Seriously, do you have any idea how many blogs there are about “making money online” that are written by people who have never made a cent online? Or how many blogs there are about “blogging” that are written by people who don’t actually have anything close to a successful blog? It’s kinda like a fat guy writing about weight loss. They lack significant knowledge about it, and they certainly lack first hand experience with it, but they see other people blogging about it successfully and making decent money, so they decide to try it too.

I mean, if it works for these people, it will surely work for you, right?

The obvious problem (well, obvious to me at least) is that you don’t actually have any knowledge about or experience with the subject. And, no matter how talented of a writer you may think you are, this tends to come through to your readers. You’d be surprised at just how easy it is to tell when you are reading something written by someone who is truly knowledgeable about a subject, and when you are reading something written by someone who is mostly just rewriting stuff they’ve learned from someone who actually IS knowledgeable about the subject.

It’s a big difference, and it’s usually quite noticeable. The result? Your blog will probably fail. People seeking information want to get that information from someone who is truly qualified to give it. You aren’t, and they will most likely notice.

It’s also entirely possible to be knowledgeable about a subject, but still not really be interested in it or passionate about it. This will again come through to your readers, but the even bigger problem here is that one of the keys to having a successful blog is time. It is extremely rare (you might as well read that as “impossible”) to see a blog become a success overnight. As I’m sure has been mentioned on Daily Blog Tips before, it takes time. In some cases, lots of time. And, if what you are blogging about isn’t something you are truly passionate about and interested in, guess what? This will be the slowest passing time you’ve ever experienced in your life.

In most cases, you will completely lose interest long before that time is ever reached. The result? Your blog will probably fail. You can’t fake passion, at least not long term. You may be able to fool your visitors for a while, but you won’t be able to fool yourself.

In the end, it’s pretty simple. Blog about a subject that you are at least somewhat knowledgeable about, and a large amount passionate about. If you don’t, you are putting your blog in a position to fail from day 1.

So the question now is, how do you find this magical blog subject that fits the above description? Well, there’s a few ways, but here’s my personal favorite tip:

Go to your family and close friends and present them with this question: If they had a problem of some kind, something that they needed help with, something they couldn’t figure out, something they didn’t understand, something they had questions about… what would make them say “Hey, I need to call [insert your name here]!”

The responses they give should give you a really good idea of the kind of stuff you should be blogging about. And once you have that, you’re set. Only 999 other possible reasons for why your blog will fail. Look on the bright side though. At least you’re starting off in a position to succeed. Many people don’t even have that.

New flushing technology in bathroom sinks.

We pick up wonderful ideas unexpectedly while reading a magazine or looking around without any specific purpose, or hearing conversation in the local diner-right?

Such ideas might be inspiring to start a business or can save us money for an intended shopping. Several times, I picked up great gifting ideas. That is how I bought a Toto sink and gave it to my brother as a gift. Though it is an odd gift, my brother appreciated my thoughtful gesture.

It was while refreshing myself at a wayside public convenience that I noticed the cleanliness of the bathroom and its accessories. I went up to the caretaker of the place and gathered some information on the sink especially that looked stylish to me and the flush was sparkling clean.

I learnt that it is a product of Toto that comes with two nozzles while the traditional bathroom sinks flushes through the holes in the rim.

Such bathroom accessories give even ordinary bathrooms a rich look.

What is your favorite life insurance cover?

One of the most difficult jobs for a parent whose son or daughter just got employed is to ward off the life insurance agents who beg to give them an appointment. I wonder how they get to know whenever there is new prospective client is available.

Why don’t they realize that it is easy for anyone to get insurance quotes online from several resources that make the decision easy? By comparing insurance quotes, one can choose the best life insurance cover and thus save money too in the bargain.

But it is not always easy to deny the insurance agents requests. Sometimes, we have to oblige a friend who happens to be an insurance sales man.

Did you notice that whenever you are thought of taking one more policy, one of your friends or relatives would have approached you for a favor because they recently started their insurance business?

How your blog's worth is calculated?

Tweet this

It is a common belief that a blog's worth is calculated based only on the number of backlinks it got. But in my experience as a problogger, there are other parameters that are taken into account. But this is done so only by top internet marketing companies that hire bloggers to post sponsored post or place their text and banner ads.

Some of the parameters:
Backlinks
RSS feed subscriber count
Alexa page rank
Google page rank
Google search engine result rank

So, bloggers need to concentrate on building their blog's worth considering all the parameters.

Best bodybuilding supplements for people over 50.

My achievement so far as a mathematics tutor has not brought much accolades. As a supplementary income earner through internet, I didn’t accumulate big heaps of praise from my family members.

But surprisingly, I always received sincere compliments on my ability to maintain my physique even at this age. Yes, I am 50 plus but that didn’t deter me to neglect my appearance.

People beg me to reveal my secrets of maintaining an admirable shape. But I am unusually selfish; I don’t let others know my bodybuilding supplements.

May be some time in the future, when nature takes control of my health, I might pass on my knowledge but till then…

Oh, I might change my mind sooner for some barter. Any enticing offer?

Which is the best blogging tutorial?

I read this somewhere and I liked it; I am sharing it with you.
"You don’t have to write a disclosure policy about why you need to make money online."

Why I am writing this now?
Two days before, a man, highly educated, approached me to set up a blog in wordpress. I tested his Internet knowledge and found to be adequate.

When I asked him why he wants a blog, he was vague and not willing to accept that he wants to make money by blogging.

The Internet provides many income opportunities and blogging is an exceptionally effective avenue to earn money.

But blogging needs to be learnt. All you need to do is choose a tutorial that will eliminate all the guesswork for you. I recommend The Niche Blogger, created by Amy Bass.

WordPress Exploit Scanner – Check your blog for malware!

The WordPress Exploit Scanner is a free plugin that scans your blog installation to see if any nasty malware code has been inserted into your site by hackers. It hunts for unauthorized code in the database and WP files on your server (it’s designed for self-hosted WordPress, not WordPress.com) and sends back a report on anything suspicious it finds.

When a website is compromised, hackers leave behind scripts and modified content that can be found by manually searching through all the files on a site. Some of the methods used to hide their code or spam links are obvious, like using CSS to hide text, and we can search for those strings.

The database can also be used to hide content or be used to run code. Spam links are sometimes added to blog posts and comments. They’re hidden by CSS so visitors don’t see them, but search engines do. Recently, hackers took advantage of the WP plugin system to run their own malicious code. They uploaded files with the extensions of image files and added them to the list of active plugins. So, despite the fact that the file didn’t have a .php file extension, the code in them was still able to run!

You can find the Scanner admin page linked off the Dashboard. This is the screen you’ll see.

You can search in numerous ways:

1. Files and database.
2. Files only.
3. Database only
4. Search files by custom keyword.

The custom keyword form allows you to search your files for whatever you like. Be careful with that one because a search for a common keyword like “php” will takes ages and generate an extremely long list of files.

Warning! Searching through the files on your site will take some time. Even a clean WordPress install with no plugins will probably take a noticeable length of time. It’s also heavy on your server. Only run the file check when your server is idling and not busy.

No more dark eye circles and eye bags.

Eyes-they are the true expression of our soul. They can’t hide any emotion. They are also the actual beauty enhancers of our face. Eyes are the first thing we notice in anyone’s face.

Keeping your eyes free from eye bags and dark circles as you age is not an easy task. But with right eye exercises and applying the right creams and eye drops, one can have bright eyes.

It is not only women that are bothered with dark eye circle but men too. For example, yesterday, I noticed my son spending a long time in front of the mirror. He seems to be perturbed with his puffy eyes. Like him, most of the computer engineers are affected with this malady because of long working hours in front of the computers.

I gave him some home remedies and also suggested the best cream that is said to remove the dark eye circles in less than a fortnight.

Researchers and bloggers wanted.

I am happy to bring to your kind attention about an opening for bloggers and researchers. In fact, there is an opening for virtual assistants too.

Write an email and send it to info (at) worksmartr (dot) com and request for more details and pay rate.

The weight loss pill recommended by dieticians.

My friend asked me to go over his office for a few minutes. Since, his office is just a couple of blocks away, I decided to walk. When I entered his cabin, I saw him pouring over what looked like brochure.

Without talking, he shoved over the printed material to me. It was about several natural foods that include garlic, flaxseed and barley among other things.

Before I complete my reading, my friend told me that they are all included in his daily food but still, why he is advised by his wife (a dietician) to take Lipovox, one of the most recommended effective weight loss pills in the market today.

I saw his reasoning and proceeded to complete my reading of the brochure. But I could not answer his question.

Finally, I just told him to heed to his wifely advice because, after all, Lipovox is a proven diet pill. I suppose all the ingredients in the form a pill work faster.

Wireless freedom from fear.

The DSC Kit4471CP01NT… oh never mind. Who is interested in useless information? All I wanted to tell you is this: the wireless home security system that we bought two months ago is working perfectly and I am more than satisfied with the purchase.

The entire home security kit included several security cameras and sensors and the installation was baby’s work. But then, my husband has his way with these electronic gadgets. You can see him enjoying the assembling and installation with utmost concentration.

I don’t know where he learnt all these work! He was determined to buy a cost effective wireless security system and he shopped around a lot online before buying from a trusted source that is known for unbeatable customer service.

Now I feel very safe to leave the home locked and for the first time, I am eagerly looking forward to my Christmas holidays in Palm Beach.

Uncover personal secrets with Spokeo Social Networks Aggregator

When you enter Spokeo for the first time, you immediately notice the program slogan: “Want to see something juicy? Spokeo searches deep within 48 major social networks to find truly mouth-watering news about friends and coworkers”. While that might be attractive for some visitors, there is definitely not too pretty slogan for me. However, let’s not look too close on the façade, but review what this site can do for you, and how it can enhance your social presence on the Web.

Mashable.com called Spokeo a simplest of the social networks aggregators today. It is useful for the Internet fans, trying to cover all bases in the multi-sites virtual presence and bring all the contacts together under one single “roof”.

What can you use the application for?

Spokeo is a powerful online application that is designed for syndication of information available publicly across the Internet. In other words it is a social aggregator that allows the users to aggregate photos, videos and blogs available on the web. It often happens that the people/friends of the same group use different online services as per their liking and preferences and it is very difficult for them to aggregate themselves at one common place and they keep hovering around looking and searching about what their friends are doing. Spokeo aids users to maintain separate profiles of all friends and it automatically scoops important information from all the contacts (without letting them know that someone is keeping an eye on their activities). Spokeo is an important technique to manage all information of the user under one roof and let him decide what information is to be provided to others and what not. One of the main features of Spokeo is 'recommend', when any person recommends a message or post on the website it will automatically spread through and show on the home pages of everybody in the contact list.

What is the history of the application?

It was started by Harrison Tang and three other Stanford graduates in the year 2006 with a view to provide a helpful interface to the users if they are unable to keep up with their friends.

What are the differences to other applications?

The website is pretty useful and beneficial for users who have large friends base. It keeps tracking all the contacts across 48 social sites and concurrently updates the action. With its features like Recommend and Contact Ingestion, Spokeo has tried its level best to eliminate the deficiencies and fill-up the loopholes of other service across the web.

How does the registration process work?

The user can easily join Spokeo service by just providing the e-mail and passwords of AOL, Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail accounts and in just 5 minutes the user can follow up his/her friends on 48 social networks. And in case a person doesn't have the e-mail he/she has the option to create it at the same place itself. No credit card details are required for registration.

What does it cost to use the application?

Getting registered with Spokeo is free and easy. The site is funded by 'Angel Investors'. Spokeo also provides for advertisements with the concept of 'sponsored insertion' in which the advertiser is allowed to specify the blog that he wants to promote.

Who would you recommend the application to?

Spokeo is a social aggregator and is beneficial for such users who remain wired up on the Internet all day long and have a big bunch of friends across the web. It is likely that they face difficulties in tracking them and updating their actions and activities on numerous sites. So this site can be recommended to the persons who wish to enlarge and maintain their communities across the web.

Control your privacy

Spokeo respects the privacy policies of your social networks. Your content can only be read in Spokeo by the same people allowed to read it in your network.

The best way to make money by blogging.

After nearly 4 years of problogging, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to earn money by blogging is by selling your own digital products.

So far I have been earning money from my blogs through contextual advertising, affiliate marketing and writing blog posts for advertisers. But I sense the big money by blogging lies in the area of selling my own info products.

Many will wonder how to create one's own info product in the first place. Oh man, there are literally thousands of ideas and ways to create your own digital information.

Take yourself for example. Try to recall the last time you spent about 15 to 30 minutes in the web searching for specific information. Have you gotten it the way you wanted it?

Yes?

Good! Then, you should not have second thoughts in launching yourself into a full time internet business of creating and selling your digital information packages.

Whatever you have compiled from the efforts of your 30 minutes of searching for the niche can be nicely put together as a ready to refer document, preferably as a PDF report, write an attractive headline, fix up a low price of $1 to $5 and sell it.

I am 100% sure you will make the first sale in less than a week if you put in the required internet marketing effort. See, you have created your own digital information taken from the internet, fine tuned it to a saleable product and offered it to those who consider the 30 minutes of your time is more valuable than the $$$ they spend to buy the information.

What you are doing is actually saving precious time for those who are ready to pay you for your product. Essentially, they hire your services as a simple internet researcher.

Got my point?

Entrecard - virtual business card directory

Entrecard is one of the few blogging networks, which considered being quite useful for the blog promotion by many respected and successful bloggers. There you can buy and sell ad space for credits, which you can use for spreading a word about your own site.

Promote your affiliate links easily.

The biggest drawback for affiliate marketers is their inability to promote their affiliate links easily. Unless, one has a blog, it is not possible to actively bring visitors to their affiliate websites.Directories mostly accept home page links. Article directories also don't accept affiliate links with a few exceptions.

Here is a social bookmarking website that allows you full freedom to submit your affiliate sites.

Visit The FB-The Fast Bookmarker to submit all your blog posts, affiliate links like Amazon, BANS and the likes.

Yes, at the outset, it looks like Digg and many more social bookmarking sites that move your submitted link to the main page based on popularity which is determined by the number of visitors who cast their vote in its favor.

Blogger-rush to this site if you have written blog posts on blogging as there is just one link in The FB.

Furnished one bedroom apartment for cheap rent.

I have no Godfather in the U.S. to help me find a fully or partially furnished one bedroom apartment for rent for my son who is asked to report to his software project site within a fortnight.

Finding apartments for rent in such a short time is no easy task. Either you must know someone in U.S. or you have to depend on the World Wide Web to accomplish your goal.

My son has to go Tampa. I read that any city in Florida will prove to be costly. Is it true? How about a studio apartment? Won’t they come cheap even if partially furnished?

I am particular about furnished apartment. My son can’t afford to buy things for a short stay of two three months.

Any help mate?

The report gives the full statistics like Page Impression, clicks % and CTR.

You can also remove the AdWords if you wanted to from this new feature from blogger.

Thank you Google! You continue to amaze me.

Obsessive-Compulsive Blogging Disorder (OCBD)

Top ten blog design mistakes to avoid

Today, I want to present Jakob Nielsen’s publication on many blogs, which are too internally focused and ignore key usability issues, making it hard for new readers to understand the site and trust the author. The original article was published in 2005, but it is even more important for the bloggers than before.

Weblogs are a form of website. The thousands of normal website usability guidelines therefore apply to them, as do this year's top ten design mistakes. But weblogs are also a special genre of website; they have unique characteristics and thus distinct usability problems.

One of a weblog's great benefits is that it essentially frees you from "Web design." You write a paragraph, click a button, and it's posted on the Internet. No need for visual design, page design, interaction design, information architecture, or any programming or server maintenance.

Blogs make having a simple website much easier, and as a result, the number of people who write for the Web has exploded. This is a striking confirmation of the importance of ease of use.

Weblogs' second benefit is that they're a Web-native content genre: they rely on links, and short postings prevail. You don't have to write a full article or conduct original research or reporting. You can simply find something interesting on another site and link to it, possibly with commentary or additional examples. Obviously, this is much easier than running a conventional site, and again indicates the benefits of lowering the barriers to computer use.

As a third benefit, blogs are part of an ecosystem (often called the Blogosphere) that serves as a positive feedback loop: Whatever good postings exist are promoted through links from other sites. More reader/writers see this good stuff, and the very best then get linked to even more. As a result, link frequency follows a Zipf distribution, with disproportionally more links to the best postings.

Some weblogs are really just private diaries intended only for a handful of family members and close friends. Usability guidelines generally don't apply to such sites, because the readers' prior knowledge and motivation are incomparably greater than those of third-party users. When you want to reach new readers who aren't your mother, however, usability becomes important.

Also, while readers of your intranet weblog might know you, usability is important because your readers are on company time.

Usability Issues

To reach new readers and respect your existing readers' time constraints, test your weblog against the following usability problems.

1. No Author Biographies

Unless you're a business blog, you probably don't need a full-fledged "about us" section the way a corporate site does. That said, the basic rationale for "about us" translates directly into the need for an "about me" page on a weblog: users want to know who they're dealing with.

It's a simple matter of trust. Anonymous writings have less credence than something that's signed. And, unless a person's extraordinarily famous, it's not enough to simply say that Joe Blogger writes the content. Readers want to know more about Joe. Does he have any credentials or experience in the field he's commenting on? (Even if you don't have formal credentials, readers will trust you more if you're honest about that fact, set forth your informal experience, and explain the reason for your enthusiasm.)

2. No Author Photo

Even weblogs that provide author bios often omit the author photo. A photo is important for two reasons:

• It offers a more personable impression of the author. You enhance your credibility by the simple fact that you're not trying to hide. Also, users relate more easily to somebody they've seen.
• It connects the virtual and physical worlds. People who've met you before will recognize your photo, and people who've read your site will recognize you when you meet in person (say, at a conference — or the company cafeteria if you're an intranet blogger).

A huge percentage of the human brain is dedicated to remembering and recognizing faces. For many, faces work better than names. I learned this lesson myself in 1987 when I included my photo in a HyperCard stack I authored that was widely disseminated on Mac-oriented BBSs. Over the next two years, countless people came up to me and said, "I liked your stack," having recognized me from the photo.

Also, if you run a professional blog and expect to be quoted in the press, you should follow the recommendations for using the Web for PR and include a selection of high-resolution photos that photo editors can download.

3. Nondescript Posting Titles

Sadly, even though weblogs are native to the Web, authors rarely follow the guidelines for writing for the Web in terms of making content scannable. This applies to a posting's body text, but it's even more important with headlines. Users must be able to grasp the gist of an article by reading its headline. Avoid cute or humorous headlines that make no sense out of context.

Your posting's title is micro content and you should treat it as a writing project in its own right. On a value-per-word basis, headline writing is the most important writing you do.

Descriptive headlines are especially important for representing your weblog in search engines, newsfeeds (RSS), and other external environments. In those contexts, users often see only the headline and use it to determine whether to click into the full posting. Even if users see a short abstract along with the headline (as with most search engines), user testing shows that people often read only the headline. In fact, people often read only the first three or four words of a headline when scanning a list of possible places to go. Sample bad headlines:

• What Is It That You Want?
• Hey, kids! Comics!
• Victims Abandoned

Sample good headlines:

• Pictures from Die Hunns and Black Halos show
• Office Depot Pays United States $4.75 Million to Resolve False Claims Act Allegations
  (too long, but even if you only read the first few words, you have an idea of what it's about)
• Ice cream trucks as church marketing

This last headline works on a church-related blog. If you're writing an ice cream industry blog, start the headline with the word "church" because it's the information-carrying word within a context of all ice cream, all the time.

In browsing weblog headline listings to extract these examples, I noticed several headlines in ALL CAPS. That's always bad. Reading speed is reduced by 10% and users are put off by the appearance of shouting.

4. Links Don't Say Where They Go

Many weblog authors seem to think it's cool to write link anchors like: "some people think" or "there's more here and here." Remember one of the basics of the Web: Life is too short to click on an unknown. Tell people where they're going and what they'll find at the other end of the link.

Generally, you should provide predictive information in either the anchor text itself or the immediately surrounding words. You can also use link titles for supplementary information that doesn't fit with your content.

A related mistake in this category is to use insider shorthand, such as using first names when you reference other writers or weblogs. Unless you're writing only for your friends, don't alienate new visitors by appearing to be part of a closed clique. The Web is not high school.

5. Classic Hits are Buried

Hopefully, you'll write some pieces with lasting value for readers outside your fan base. Don't relegate such classics to the archives, where people can only find something if they know you posted it, say, in May 2003.

Also, remember to link to your past pieces in newer postings. Don't assume that readers have been with you from the beginning; give them background and context in case they want to read more about your ideas.

6. The Calendar is the Only Navigation

A timeline is rarely the best information architecture, yet it's the default way to navigate weblogs. Most weblog software provides a way to categorize postings so users can easily get a list of all postings on a certain topic. Do use categorization, but avoid the common mistake of tagging a posting with almost all of your categories. Be selective. Decide on a few places where a posting most belongs.

Categories must be sufficiently detailed to lead users to a thoroughly winnowed list of postings. At the same time, they shouldn't be so detailed that users face a category menu that's overly long and difficult to scan. Ten to twenty categories are appropriate for structuring many topics.

On the main page for each category, highlight that category's evergreens as well as a time line of its most recent postings.

7. Irregular Publishing Frequency

Establishing and meeting user expectations is one of the fundamental principles of Web usability. For a weblog, users must be able to anticipate when and how often updates will occur.

For most weblogs, daily updates are probably best, but weekly or even monthly updates might work as well, depending on your topic. In either case, pick a publication schedule and stick to it. If you usually post daily but sometimes let months go by without new content, you'll lose many of your loyal — and thus most valuable — readers.

Certainly, you shouldn't post when you have nothing to say. Polluting cyberspace with excess information is a sin. To ensure regular publishing, hold back some ideas and post them when you hit a dry spell.

8. Mixing Topics

If you publish on many different topics, you're less likely to attract a loyal audience of high-value users. Busy people might visit a blog to read an entry about a topic that interests them. They're unlikely to return, however, if their target topic appears only sporadically among a massive range of postings on other topics. The only people who read everything are those with too much time on their hands (a low-value demographic).

The more focused your content, the more focused your readers. That, again, makes you more influential within your niche. Specialized sites rule the Web, so aim tightly. This is especially important if you're in the business-to-business (B2B) sector.

If you have the urge to speak out on, say, both American foreign policy and the business strategy of Internet telephony, establish two blogs. You can always interlink them when appropriate.

9. Forgetting That You Write for Your Future Boss

Whenever you post anything to the Internet — whether on a weblog, in a discussion group, or even in an email — think about how it will look to a hiring manager in ten years. Once stuff's out, it's archived, cached, and indexed in many services that you might never be aware of.

Years from now, someone might consider hiring you for a plum job and take the precaution of snooping you first. (Just taking a stab at what's next after Google. Rest assured: there will be some super-snooper service that'll dredge up anything about you that's ever been bitified.) What will they find in terms of naïvely puerile "analysis" or offending nasty flames published under your name?

Think twice before posting. If you don't want your future boss to read it, don't post.

10. Having a Domain Name Owned by a Weblog Service

Having a weblog address ending in blogspot.com, typepad.com, etc. will soon be the equivalent of having an @aol.com email address or a Geocities website: the mark of a naïve beginner who shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Letting somebody else own your name means that they own your destiny on the Internet. They can degrade the service quality as much as they want. They can increase the price as much as they want. They can add atop your content as many pop-ups, blinking banners, or other user-repelling advertising techniques as they want. They can promote your competitor's offers on your pages. Yes, you can walk, but at the cost of your loyal readers, links you've attracted from other sites, and your search engine ranking.

The longer you stay at someone else's domain name, the higher the cost of going independent. Yes, it's tempting to start a new weblog on one of the services that offer free accounts. It's easy, it's quick, and it's obviously cheap. But it only costs $8 per year to get your personal domain name and own your own future. As soon as you realize you're serious about blogging, move it away from a domain name that's controlled by somebody else. The longer you delay, the more pain you'll feel when you finally make the move.

Fewer steps to green environs.

Every step we take to go somewhere-office, shopping, hotel or just a visit outside the city involves more energy use which means more carbon dioxide emission leading to depletion of green.

An interesting and important green study took up by none other than the world famous Carnegie Mellon University revealed that shopping online is a definite step to save the green.

Their green study says that up to 35% of carbon dioxide emission is reduced when we all use the Internet to shop online.

Buy.com, the world’s number one online shopping mall has illustrated nicely in their website how we contribute to the protection of environment by shopping online.

I appreciate the sincere effort of Buy.com to this world cause.

The seaweed that helps burn the fat.

I stopped abruptly in the middle of addressing a small group of ladies who came to meet me for a social chat. A just married girl, who posed some intelligent questions on the wisdom of consuming fat burners by pregnant women, drew my attention.

She actually used the words thermogenics and metabolic enhancers to refer to fat burners. I asked her whether she is familiar with a fact that modern fat burners don’t contain thermogenics or other stimulants like caffeine and ephedra.

I knew she had no clue to what I am talking about. But I was wrong. Obviously she has read about the marine vegetation called the Japanese Wakame Seaweed that is used in Apidexin, an effective fat burner and she argued that this seaweed contains thermogenic properties.

I took a beating; I learnt something new.

Buy granite tile from buytile.com

For once, there is a unanimous decision in my house about the size of granite tile that we want to replace in the deck. The present size of the tiles is 1 foot by 1 foot. Recently my son spotted a 3 by 3 granite tile in a cinema hall and liked it immediately. The size of the space when laid with bigger granite ties looked bigger and richer.

On the color of the granite too, we have all agreed on Baltic brown. The present color is Arabian black.

My husband was not initially convinced. My son took him to the cinema hall and showed him what he saw.

When he came back, my husband started another argument and this time, it is about replacing the granite tiles in our bedroom too.

Granite tile is the most preferred flooring tiles in India; it is a sign of wealth and taste.

The other side of life insurance rates.

Even though I have a long relationship my life insurance agent, the questions I asked this time when he came up with a new proposal, put him off guard. He simply was not prepared to face my newly gain insight on several aspects of life insurance that include life insurance rates, how they are determined, the actual cost to the insurance provider, why life insurance companies borrow and how underwriters extend financial assistance to insurance companies etc.

He hesitated a lot in answering my questions which indicated his lack of knowledge on he subject. He admitted that insurance sales men need not possess such in-depth information as their area of expertise involves only in selling the insurance policy and answering questions related to the policies alone.

But I don’t agree with his views because who then will answer my questions. After all, some one has to!

The life insurance rates quoted by various online insurance agents act as guidance only; the other factors that I wanted to know may also be more important.

7 Recommendations on how to annoy readers with your Tweets

You probably know that if you want you can easily annoy people. With all technology advances, you are getting even more opportunities and tools to annoy people massively. Here, we will present several effective approaches on how to annoy people on Twitter, which are brining the most promising results, based on the extensive testing.

1. Approach every follower immediately and give him/her a strong sales pitch. That will definitely leave an expected negative feeling at the first communication between you and your new follower. What you need followers for? Really, to buy your products, to sign your pyramid, or at least visit your web pages.
2. Daily send detailed reports on your life events. Send at least 10 tweets a day about how you are going to the store, walking your dog, scratching your nose, and washing your hair. It will make your tweets seem like a really boring reality show.
3. Send excessive tweets all day long. Do it manually, if you really have time for that, or use any auto-twitting utility. If you send no-stop endless tweets, people will start avoiding and ignoring your tweets, but that was your target, remember?
4. Call yourself a Guru and teach everybody the right way of doing things. Self-confidence is very important, especially when you do not have a clue about the topic of discussion.
5. Send repeatedly the outdated new, stressing the same issues again and again. Hell, not all the people are really sharp, and you need to repeat thing for 20+ times, before they get it.
6. No matter, what and how you write about, ask and beg to be retweeted. You need traffic; these people will multiply the exposure for you. They just need to understand, how important is spread the word about. Note that you will not reach your target, and your readers might not get annoyed enough, if you have a really important public announcement, valuable to be retweeted.
7. Be always negative, angry, and aggressive, and you will get to the readers fast. To be even more efficient, you need to add rudeness and lack of respect in your posts. It is probably, one of the most effective advices on the list.

 

BTW, please bookmark, RSS, tweet, and add to Facebook, Digg, and others, this post! I really need this traffic. I need the Google Adsense money to pay my property tax in one week!

Turn your blog posts into cash.

How would you like to turn your blog posts into cash? It is our dream wish-right?
While some of your blog posts would give you a feeling that they have come out well and worth a few dollars, the rest of the work may not be satisfying.

Ok, how about turning the first category blog posts into cash by selling them to whomsoever are interested?

Well, by selling, I am not saying you go around and showing them off in every other marketplace.

Today morning, I have found out an excellent marketplace for freelancers to sell their digital content like articles, ebooks, website templates etc.

Who will make custom shipping boxes?

My neighbor runs a shipping company. He has got handful of regular clients and all of them are blue chip companies, real giants.

I used to chat with him about the blogging field and also ask him a lot of questions on freight and forwarding.

I was lucky in introducing a client to him but I also put my neighbor in a fix almost immediately. The new client manufactures unbelievably odd shaped paper-mache products that require equally odd shaped shipping boxes.

Being in the Internet industry, I already know of a packaging concern that agrees to make any kind of custom shipping boxes.

My mathematical skill was also put into use in fabricating the size of the hipping boxes so that they occupy minimum space and thus cutting down on the cost of the boxes as well the cost of shipping.

After a long time, I proved that I am mathematician.

Need funds for your business idea?

Even my mother-in-law would give a scornful look if my husband’s business plan is shown to her. It was deplorably laid out and would repel any venture capitalist even before my husband finished the opening talk.

Anyone can have wonderful business idea. And every business requires a third party funding. I agree on the exceptions but they are rare.

A business idea needs to be shaped up properly and then to be presented in a professional manner to the bankers for funding assistance. Business plan consultants do a great job in preparing a proper project plan.

The role of business plan consultants is extremely valuable for a business to take off in the appropriate direction.

I shut up my husband’s protests rather harshly and told him that I will handle the issue after I discuss with a known business consulting firm that has proven its value already.

Do you collect rare coins?

Coin collection to most, is a serious business; it is more than a hobby. Once coin collectors see some real money, then, there is no stopping. It becomes their life long business and it is even bequeathed to their heirs.

My husband’s grandpa is said to be a famous rare coins collector. But then, coin collection was much easy at his time because of change in economy in all parts of the world. This resulted in huge mounds of coins dumped as worthless.

Shrewd people like my husband’s grandpa who was a Government pleader, foresaw the immense value of the old coins and started accumulating them almost free of investment.

For the present generation, Monaco Rare Coin offers a unique, vast and impressive array of resources for investors and collectors alike.

At Monaco, a sister concern of Monex company, one have access to their experienced and knowledgeable cadre of professionals, ready and willing to serve your needs, and a broad range of investment programs and products to fit most any budget.
