Easy steps to find hot niches.

Ivana B had opened my eyes 18 months before and made them see what they should see. From the face of a blogger, those eyes have been seeing thousands of things a blogger should see but somehow failed to send proper signals to the brain.

If your brain is rceptive, you would click onto Ivana's message to all the bloggers and affiliate marketers.

As a problogger and an expert author for Ezine Articles, I should have known this long ago. I should stop spend big time in search of high paying keywords and instead, I should have eyes and ears for hot niches that are always available all f us and around us but we simply didn't know them.

Niche Blogging or niche writing or niche squidooing all require one common qualification; that we should be able to identify hot paying niches without much difficulty.

In easy 7 steps, Ivana teaches us the product affiliate plan. Incidentally, Ivana also a mother like me.

First, read her free Niche Guide.

Why gold from U.S. Gold Bureau?

What BBC, Times of India, Reuters and Business Week have failed to attract the attention of investors who buy gold coins at every small slump in price, the U.S. Gold Bureau commanded the full attention of bullion market.

In their latest web release, the U.S. Gold Bureau has published the gold price has received a small boost after news reports about the South Korean Naval ship that sank near the North Korean border.

Minor precious metals investors like you and I will ignorantly ask how the remote Korean incident can leave a mark on the global gold price movement. Nevertheless, the effect was true and all of us who recently bought some gold, stood to gain financially.

Yesterday, the gold price dipped again. Any takers?

Imaginative cardboard display racks and boxes.

When I gave permission to a mathematics bookseller to install a medium sized cardboard display rack in my tuition center to store and sell books and tutorials for high school students, he profusely expressed his gratitude several times.

I expected to see a plain old wooden rack but what he brought in took me by surprise. It was an attractive custom designed cardboard box (see image below). The display box is designed in such way to display the top of the books only.














Students can easily see the title of the book and its author without removing the book from the cardboard display box. Flipping through the books is possible by two students at a time.

When the bookseller sold all the books, he left the cardboard box behind as a gift to me.

Earn royalties for your articles.

One of this blog readers politely reminded me about my promise to blog about a free blog traffic generating site that I recently joined and started experimenting with it.

The site is wikinut.com and it is a revenue sharing site. You can submit your articles (can be already published work) to wiki nut and start seeing near instant traffic to your blog provided your contribution is interestingly written.

Wikinut is an article directory operating from England. The user interface is slightly different than other popular article directories. I feel it is not easy to submit and a bit complicated. I do not know why they have constructed their site like that.

Unlike other revenue sharing sites, you don't have to give your Google AdSense id to Wikinut. They pass on a share of their ad revenue and credit it to your account daily in British pounds. Yes, you can see the amount in your account stats page daily.

The amount you earn depends on your content and the views and comments it gets.

Join WIKINUT now! Increase readership to your articles, promote your blog and earn a little money too.

2 simple ways to prevent hemorrhoids.

To get hemorrhoids relief, don’t waste your time by asking around for different kinds of symptoms and tips for relief from hemorrhoids and its related discomforts.

I would strongly advise you to visit your doctor the moment you start noticing the discomforts. I have done very stupid things without actually consulting a doctor and I paid a huge price.

Like everybody, I too came to the conclusion that hemorrhoids can be prevented but only after my doctor treated the hemorrhoids quite efficiently and then listed out the real causes for hemorrhoids.

I am sure you would have gained some knowledge about the various causes of hemorrhoids and among them is constipation. Do you know that Diarrhea also causes strain on the veins leading to hemorrhoids?

Drink pure bottled water always and make your food with balanced green vegetables. This will definitely prevent hemorrhoids.

Chennai Bloggers Meet.

The Chennai Bloggers Meet organized by indiblogger.in and sponsored by Univercell Communications was held in posh place called GRT Convention Center in Madras.

Here my observations:

* Renie Revin and Anwyn Joselyn of Indiblogger.in efficiently managed the show without any issues.

* The get together part was arranged in a different manner that encouraged the participant to mingle and start conversing freely.

* I appreciated the ZEE TV Tamil editor Balabarathy's speech in Tamil. He motivated the blogger to speak up in their blog about all socio-economic issues that affected the community. (Sure sir, but who will read?)

*Had there been a question and answer session on blog monetization, blog promotion etc, I would have made some useful contribution. I have so much to pass on.

*A young girl asked about how to attract advertisers but sadly she didn't get satisfactory replies. During the break, I approached her to offer some useful tips but she politely excused herself.

*Before the meet, I randomly visited some of the blogs and I recognized Srivalli who has a nice recipe blog.

*I failed to spot Tulasi whose Tamil blog துளசி தளம் impressed me very much. Her latest post "சும்மா சுத்தினபோது கண்ணில் பட்டவை" -அருமையான தலைப்பு. How easily she has communicated!

* Another blogger I wanted to meet was Rasanaikari whose Tamil blog is just superb.

I thank both the organizers and the sponsors for a creating a nice opportunity to meet bloggers from the same city of Madras. (BTW, where is Chennai? )

Can we really stop aging?

Finally, when my husband gave his consent for HGH provided it is not given in injection form, we were all relieved. He is visibly aging and his movements have slowed down a lot.

But he cautioned me before I selected the right HGH supplement and advised me to learn fully about human growth hormone facts. I think he is more worried about the cost of the HGH than its effects.

If I let him know that HGH price range starts from $42, he would urge me to settle for that but I decided to keep my knowledge to myself and read more consumer reviews before deciding to buy the most effective HGH. I am not bothered about the cost but only interested in my husband’s health.

I would appreciate if you care to share your feedback on HGH if any.

Free traffic site for bloggers.

Right now, I am experimenting with a new website that is said to increase blog traffic free of cost. In fact, we can earn money to use that web site.

Yes, I have seen some negligible amount against my name but I am satisfied with the numberof visits my blog got so far.

I have asked some questions to the site's support staff and I have been receiving polite replies promptly.

The reason I am not mentioning the site name here is, I am still not very clear about the user interface. I hope to understand it in a day or two.

Tomorrow, I will be attending the mega event of Chennai Bloggers Meet organized by indiblogger.in I will look into the free traffic site again on Sunday and get back here with my experience.

Please stay tuned to this blog post.

From blackheads to pretty face.

“Will moisturizing soaps remove blackheads on my face”? - asked my son, a software engineer. He looked really worried. Even a small blemish on the face becomes so visible on a youngster’s face.

I could not answer my son immediately. I looked up at www.blackheadremoval.org mainly to find out the answer to my son’s question. Yes, there was a mention about moisturizing as one of the ways to remove blackheads. There is a cream called ‘Pronexin’ that moisturizes the face and also fights blackheads causing bacteria.

Youngsters who work long hours in air conditioned environment are vulnerable to acne eruptions because of dry conditions. A little bit of sweating usually prevents acne from appearing because the skin debris is removed.

By the way, why it is called blackheads instead of black spots?

The easiest automatic blog posting tool.

So, the word is spreading fast about this much talked about blogging tool-the auto blog feeder. This tool is targeted at those who are:
*Not sure what to blog about daily
*Lazy to do the daily blogging job
* Not sure why they are into the blogopshere.(just kidding)


Though I am aware of similar automatic blog post creation software and plugins, I am yet to see a blog that has automatically generated content from RSS Feeds.

Even to me who love to blog on my own, this auto blog feeder is tempting. I am thinking seriously to build 3 new blogs on topics that I know to generate good Google AdSesne income.

I looked at the screen shots of using this auto blog feeder software and it looked very easy to handle by new bloggers too.

Hey, I am looking for feedback from those who are using auto blog feeder. Any help?

Before you swallow diet pills, read….

Probably, I am the least eligible person to share a handful of weight loss success stories because, I have never used any weight loss product. But, I know many people who will be willing to share their weight loss success stories and can even give it in writing if I request them.

So far I have recommended several diet pills based on consumer reviews to about 16 friends and students of mine. Though not all of them reported the expected reduction in weight loss, many achieved fantastic results.

The success was possible only because of following the stipulated diet plan plus a little bit of breathing exercise that I taught them. It was obvious that those who didn’t see the desired results of taking the recommended food supplements, didn’t follow my written out instructions.

Those who contemplate on buying diet pills should find out several weight loss success stories . I am sure Google has millions of such success stories.

Steal worthy ideas.

I think stainless steel drums sound better when we say ‘drums of steel’-don’t you agree? I have several of them, bought in the ‘second sales’ market at throw away prices.

I use them to store water and also to catch rain water through pipes. We live in a water starved city. Except during the monsoon months (they are very short really, only two months), we live with water scarcity. Rather we have learnt to live with it by copying creative ideas to catch and store water.

There is another major use for my stainless steel drums. I used to willingly lend them for parties and wedding ceremonies. Only at such times, those useful pieces see something different in them like fruit juice and soup.

Steal worthy ideas-eh?

Automatic blog title generator.

I came to know about an online web tool that can generate attractive titles for blog posts that are sure to act as link baits. I mean, such titles if hyperlinked can attract clicks on them.

We all come up with attractive titles once in way but we get suck up for title ideas for most of the time. What this web tool asks us to do is just enter a subject in a box and state whether it is a singular or plural subjects.

You then hit 'submit' button and you instantly see a title based on your subject input. Then, just below the title you see a button 'Generate'. Click on it to generate more titles on the same subject.

Wonderful idea and great innovation-right?

Here is the tool: linkbaitgenerator.com

I tried 'Hair Loss' and these are the titles that got generated.

* Why hair loss sucks: myth vs. reality

* 9 crazy ways that hair loss is infiltrating pop culture
* The 8 most baffling things about hair loss
* 10 of the best hair loss movies of all time
* 10 ways hair loss can help you get a date

Hmmm... quite good I would say.

Look at my won creative work on the subject.

* Mane matters

* Man(e)fully attractive

* The Crowning glory

You can say my work is also good but they are not very good link baiters in the contemporary Internet marketing world-eh?

Quick trim for a different purpose.

It may sound ridiculous but it is true. One of my friends is very passionate about fashion dresses. One day she decided to a have a quick trim just because a particular dress she saw on a window of a popular boutique was slightly smaller for her frame.

She concluded that she can get slimmer by only a few inches by taking a limited quantity of a much advertised quick trim pill that is all over the magazines and television channels.

My friend is already beautiful and her slenderness is noticeably enhanced by her long legs. I advised her strongly against going thinner but she was adamant. She wanted that fashion dress for a major event that is only a few weeks away.

But will it work so quickly?

The wrinkle cream that also eliminates dark circles.

When people of my age are regular users of a particular wrinkle cream, I have this odd wish to have wrinkles around my eyes. I thought it will give me a look of wisdom. I believed in this concept when I started liking the Tibetan women ever since I was a college student.

They can be found selling sweaters on the streets of Madras during winter. They all have wrinkles around their eyes and it was beautiful when they smiled.

Imagine how I would have reacted when I first came to know about wrinkle creams that are specifically made to remove the wrinkles around the eyes!

And these special wrinkle creams are called ‘eye creams’! They are also said to treat the dark circles. Hmmm… some beauty products manufacturer got wise and thoughtfully addressed the concerns of beauty conscious women.

May be I also should try one of such eye creams to remove the dark eye circles but keep the wrinkles intact.

My blog in Chennail bloggers list.

I should thank my parents for giving my name 'Malathy'. This very blog is placed at the top of a list of bloggers in Chennai under the alphabet 'M'.
See it here: http://chennaibloggers.blogspot.com/#m
Some pleasure-eh?

Ahead of the Indiblogger's Chennai bloggers meet on March 20th, I was curious to find out how many more bloggers are there in Chennai and how many of them have already registered for the event.

Not many I suppose are in the list of Chennail bloggers. I clicked a few profiles of Chennail Bloggers and noticed that most of them haven't updated their blogs for years.

I wish they do it because some of the blogs are really good.

What are the advertising opportunities for bloggers?

What I mean advertising opportunities for bloggers is ways and means to earn by blogging by placing advertisements in a blog.

I hope I have cleared a confusion in my title.

The most obvious types of getting paid to advertise are:

* Pay-per-click: Blogger gets paid when a click is generated on the ads placed.
All contextual ads fall in this category.

* Pay-per-impression: The advertiser pays the blogger each time the ad appears on the blog's page.
This method of monetization pays the least.

* Pay-per-action: This is more lucrative than the other two types. Here the the advertiser pays the blogger when an action is performed after clicking on the advertisement.
All affiliate marketing and lead generation belong to this category.

* Text links and banner ads: This also pays well and also very easy way to get paid from blogs.

Have I left out anything?
