Looking Back At Pinterest A Year Ago (2012)

Earlier last year, around January and February 2012 to be exact, I've heard about Pinterest among online marketers and social media gurus mentioning about Pinterest gaining popularity as a great new marketing tool for many online businesses out there. I didn't get curious about it until I stumbled about several times from several different people talking about it. I finally got interested about Pinterest around early March 2012 so I decided to visit the site. To my dismay, during that time period, Pinterest was for invitation-only sign-up process, and I didn't know anybody who could send me an invite at that time because none of my friends and family used Pinterest, but there was a button to request for invitation to be in the waiting list, so I did that, and I got accepted within a week.

Pinterest Compared To Other Social Media

Fast forward almost a year later (January 2013) Pinterest has exponentially grown into a major social media site for a lot of people. More and more users have discovered its advantages and many got hook, and loving it. If you haven't heard of Pinterest, chances are you are/were glued into your Facebook wall and feed stream (?), following your family and friends rants and ramblings about their day to day lives and activities, in which even if you are happy for your friends and families accomplishments, and have this virtual means to be a part of their lives even if they are hundreds or thousands of miles away from you, there are days that it can sometimes make left you feel sad, left out and not feeling good about yourself knowing that people you know did this, did that, he/she been there, than that, and sometimes you feel sorry for yourself when you don't accomplish the same level of good things like your friends and family have accomplished, or you cannot afford to go places like your friends or family have been. Having a means to communicate with your family and friends at the tip of your fingertips is very nice, but somehow the very site that is suppose to make us feel connected and stay in touch with our family and friends, can sometimes make us feel all alone and feel inferior especially when we start comparing our lives with them (others), comparing what they have done, where they have been.. and this is where Pinterest is to the rescue, to look again about the bright side of things, allows you to dream and plan for your future, force you to look at yourself what you like, what you want, your desires, dreams and interests. And the people who will eventually follow you in Pinterest will have a sense of who you (as you) basing on the things/topics that interests you as seen in your boards that you created.

Advantages Of Pinterest

While majority of social media out there chronicle of a person's past and sometimes present like what a person did or doing, where a person has been or is at the moment, what a person was/is feeling, and/or was/is he/she doing at the moment, Pinterest on the other hand is like a window of a person's future, a chronicle of a person's needs and wants/desire today, and the future. Pinterest entice you to dream and plan for your future. Pinterest encourage you to re-affirm your desire to visit places that you always want to go simply because you see all these beautiful photographs of tourists destinations all over the world, and you can particularly add these photos in your boards, the ones that you personally want to go. Pinterest gives you plenty of ideas and tips on how your future home may look like because of the abundance of home interior designs, storage ideas, landscaping inspirations virtually visible everywhere in Pinterest that you can borrow and apply in your future home. You can learn and discover new recipes, and how to cook them. You can learn how to plant this, and that. The possibilities of topics you see in Pinterest are endless including fashion, travel, food, cars, business, animals, etc, and the best part of it all is that you control the topics you want to see in your boards depending on your personal taste, preferences, and interests.

What is Pinterest?

With that said, what exactly is Pinterest? Pinterest is a virtual cork board. Remember those days when you read a magazine or newspaper and see a beautiful photograph of a kitchen, and you clipped it and put it in your cork board? Same goes with Pinterest minus the actual cork board in your wall and the messy paper clippings that are pinned all over your wall! With Pinterest you can create several different virtual boards solely depending on the topics that interest you, and the best part is

that you get to decide on your own what to call each board, you can pretty much be creative with how to name each board that you create, for example, if you create a board about gardening, you can choose to call it garden, gardening, my yard, my backyard, gardeners paradise, etc, it's your choice, really!

Start Pinning And Following People

Now that you have a Pinterest account and created few blank boards to start and named each board that you created by topic, for example, food and recipes, future trips, gardening tips, etc. After that, this is where most people get lost and confused especially when they dont know anybody who use Pinterest, and the big question mark lingering in your head is where can you get photos to put in your boards?! (This is totally true especially when you dont own a website with photos in them.) No worries, you don't have to personally know anybody in Pinterest to start following them and to start pinning photos in their boards to your boards. To give you a head start on pinning, lets say you like Mickey Mouse and you created a board called All About Mickey. To get photos of products and items about Mickey just type-in Mickey Mouse in the Pinterest search box and click search, from there you will find several search results of Mickey Mouse items and products that are already added in Pinterest, if you spot Mickey Mouse item or photo that you like and want to add it in your own board, just mouse-over the photo, and a PIN button will appear, click that PIN button and specify which board in this case All About Mickey board that you created, and there you have it, your first pin! Don't worry too much about not knowing personally the person who owns the board that you just pinned the Mickey Mouse item from, that is the beauty of Pinterest, you can pretty much follow complete strangers' boards, as long as their specific boards are inline with your interests and wants, follow them, or pin away! Better yet, if you see someone's boards that are mostly the same as your interests, you can follow the person, which means you are following all his/her boards, and all this person's new pins will show in your feed regardless of topic, which you have the option to re-pin in your board. You can either follow a person's specific board, or all his/her boards by following the person, and you can do this without feeling like you are stalking somebody, or feeling like you are invading his/her privacy because majority of the photos and graphics that you see in Pinterest are non-intrusive, nothing personal because majority of them are photographs of tangible items like products, foods, animals, plants, places, not potraits of family and friends, not someone's parents or boyfriend/girlfriend.

Maximize The Use Of Pinterest, And Cautions

The beauty about Pinterest is that you don't just see a photo of a delicious food, if you click the link next to the photo, such link will usually lead you to where the photo is originally posted in the internet, and from there you can find the ingredients and the instructions of the delicious food photograph. For the most part, this is the case, you have to be aware of spammers, who pin photos and change the original link, which is not really permitted in Pinterest but there will always be some people that does not follow the rules, and you have to be aware of this so that you prevent yourself from following these spammers who changed the link and the photos link will no longer match the original link where the photo was originally posted.

Many website nowadays provide PIN buttons so that you can add their photo posting to Pinterest, but the general rule of thumb here is always give credit to the source of the photograph, do not edit the link and put your own website link there, that's not nice, and you could be ban doing that. When you see a photograph anywhere in the internet but it does not have a PIN button in it, and you dont own the photograph, I personally would not pin nor add it to Pinterest because that photographed could be copyrighted or protected. The general rule when you pin is to always give credit to the original source of the photograph, dont claim the photograph as your own by editing the source link to put your own site link instead, be a good pinner, always give credit to the source of the photos.

Take Advantage Of Pinterest As A Website Owner

If you have a website or a blog with plenty of your own photographs posted with your posts or articles, maximize your visibility in Pinterest by adding PIN button in each of your articles or posts with photo or graphic. This way, when somebody have a Pinterest account and happen to be in your site and like your article, the chances that they will share (by pinning) your post is high when you have a PIN button provided, otherwise they will think twice if its even okey for them to pin or not when there is no PIN button available. To find the PIN button to add to your site, go to Pinterest.com at the upper right click About > Pin It Button > Goodies , from there follow the instructions to get and produce the html codes you need to copy-and-paste in your web pages. If you haven't heard already, Pinterest is a major traffic generator for many websites and especially blogs nowadays. As a website owner, use Pinterest to your advantage and add PIN buttons to each of your postings with photos in it.

Why You Need A Video Marketing Strategy In YouTube

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:13:00 +0000

The online world has come a long way. Most of us used to be just an audience on telivision, watching tv shows and news stories prepared by journalists, film crews, etc. But that has changed dramatically with the worldwide popularity of the internet and the recent rise of video viewing in the internet. Most likely, nobody saw it coming that YouTube will become the second (2nd) largest search engine in the world, next to Google, which both, by the way is own by Google! Maybe in the beginning, YouTube was not originally intended as a search engine when they first come up of the idea, but YouTube definitely evolves into one because of the diversity of contents that are uploaded every single day into their system, and the huge amount of information in a wide variety of topics that that is available to the public across the globe.

For many people, videos are far more entertaining and engaging than reading textbooks trying to learn something, new things, etc. In contrary to reading a big text book, by watching videos we can possibly absorb more information at such a short time because of the way information is being presented to its audience, by visual and sounds, which helps our minds retains information in our brains quicker because many of us are visual creatures and we can related images and sound with the information that is being delivered, making it a lot easier to remember and learn things.

Aside from the effective approach of videos to give your message across, the huge advantage of using video as a means of marketing your brand or company is that it is were the traffic is, especially in YouTube. The numbers of users have grown tremendously in such a short period of time, and it is just getting started. With the smartphones capability to be able to view quality videos nowadays and the huge demographic of people using smartphones, its only going to rise up the popularity of videos.

And if your business use this statistics as your marketing advantage and get your message out to as many people as possible, having a video marketing strategy is probably a great investment to potentially grow your brand and your business. With YouTube, the viewers are there, and if you are not in YouTube, you are probably missing out on some good traffic that may help you and your business go up to the next level that you want your business to be.

The opportunity is there for the taking, at the end of the day, it's all up to you if you take the opportunity or let it pass you by. What could be worse that could happen? Your competition is taking the opportunity, and you are not, and you are left behind.. Remember, you will not be seen in a room, that you choose not to be there, in order for people to see you, you need to be there and take your chances.

It can take time, resources and some budget (or little budget) to come up with a video to put your presence in YouTube, and to start, you might need to invest in some internet marketing strategies and budget to make your video visible to as many people as possible especially in the beginning if you want to gain popularity faster. With a great video that could possibly go viral, the audience will definitely do the spreading for you, because when they like a video or when it catches their attention, they will share it with their friends and family, gaining you more audience and viewers.

Exploring Google Drive

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:50:00 +0000

Few months ago (around April 2012), Google recently introduced Google Drive, which allows you to store data in the Cloud. Google Drive is a method or a means of storing your digital files in the Cloud (up there) so that you have ways of accessing your digital data pretty much everywhere without physically carrying your hard disk or storage memory wherever you go.

Here is a quick introduction to what you can actually do with Google Drive:

<font face="Verdana, sans-serif"></font>

One major advantage of Google Drive is that you can access you digital files (documents, images, photos) anywhere, everywhere. It is also great to use as a backup system of all your digital files incase something ever happen to your computer drive and all your precious data will be gone. Having a backup files with Google Drive, you can easily access them at anytime should you need it to retrieve your data.

Using Google Drive should not be difficult since most of us are familiar working with Windows navigation, dragging and dropping files from one folder to another.

Here is a short explanation of how Google Drive works:

<font face="Verdana, sans-serif"></font>

You might still be able to get a limited drive space for free with Google Drive, but if you want to upgrade to bigger memory size you should be able to upgrade depending on your need and budget.

Here is a video review about Google Drive:

Social Media Whirlwind

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 15:40:00 +0000

It appears that social media is the wave of the future. It come a long way, it started with connecting personally with just family and friends, and then it evolves into something so much bigger, nowadays its essential for businesses and companies to have a social media front inorder for them to connect with their customers. Why not? When thats where majority of their customers are, and they can connect with their customers directly, in a personal level.

Social media gained popularity (in the United States) when MySpace and Friendster came along. In an unpredictable and volatile world of internet, new key players emerged, and Friendster is now focusing more on gaming rather than social media. As of this year 2012, the key players in the world of social media are Facebook, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. Although, there are a lot more different social media platforms available out there, the five (5) mentioned are the top rankers when it comes to registered users, user engagements, and day to day traffic in their website.

If you have a business, you are probably wondering if you need to be in all social networking sites to effectively market yourself online. Each platform have its strengths and weaknesses. Your customers may or may not be in all five platforms mentioned, you just have to do some research where most of your customers hangout and that depends largely on the type of business you are in. Sometimes, you just have to test the waters to be able to find out which one works the best for your business. There is nothing wrong with being on all five (5) or more social media sites, but you just have to make sure that whenever you are several different platforms that you will actually be able to take the time to engage with your audience, answer comments and questions, remove outdated postings, and add new posts in all of those web sites.

You need to make your social media profile look and feel that you are truly there engaging with your customers and interacting with them because that is what social media is all about, socializing. Many people (including your customers and clients) turn to social networking venues to get hold directly of companies because majority of people nowadays expect that when you run a business, you also have an online presence, its almost like its the new business card minus the paper and the ink. In a business point of view, you need to treat your social media profile as a gateway to your customers, and a means of customer service and interaction. Not answering comments and questions, not monitoring spam posts by others might give your audience the impression that you are not really there and that is not good for your business.

If you feel that you are too busy with your business to truly devote so much time in all social media platforms regularly, pick the ones that are most effective for your business and concentrate on those instead of being on so many at once and you cannot keep up with engagement process which could hurt your business in the process. If you feel that your social media is important but you dont really have time to devote for it, you dont have to do it yourself at all because you can hire a social media marketer or manager to manage your online presence to make sure that your online reputation will remain intact at all times, and your customers and clients will not feel that you just take them for granted when you dont have time to engage or reply to their querries and concerns. But if you have no budget to hire an online manager for all your social networking presence, you can probably set maybe 15 minutes to 30 minutes in a day to attend to your social media profiles like posting new updates, replying to comments, answering questions, if any. And the majority of your hours will be devoted entirely to your busy business schedule. You only need to login to your social media once a day, you dont have to check every single hour for new messages, you dont need to answer the questions posted in a matter of hours or even minutes of them being posted because that strategy can be very time-consuming and before you know it the day is already over and if the pattern continues, you spend less and less time actually doing your business and more on social media which could possibly hurt your bottom line in the long run especially that many believe that several businesses dont really make direct sales using social media, its more like interacting with your existing customers and keep them, and gain new customers.

MLM or Multi-Level Marketing Analysis

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 15 May 2012 20:34:00 +0000

MLM or Multi-Level Marketing has been around for decades. MLM is when the founder of the organization or group will sell or offer a product or service to his/her direct referrals or customers and he/she gain commission for such sales. Then his/her direct referrals may recruit new members to join the organization inorder to get commission of the product or service and the founder will also get a commission from his/her referrals' referrals. In other words, the founder being on top of the group heirarchy will receive a commission from all his direct referrals as well as all indirect referrals, who are the referrals that his/her referrals refered. The product that multi-level marketing ventures sell or promote can be anything, from herbal tablets to ebooks.

What I think of MLM or Multi-Level Marketing? I think it is a complete genius only for the person that created it (founder), who is the person that is on top of the list of the heirarchy. It's a genius for the founder because for the most part, he/she doesn't need to work extremely hard to approach people to sell them the product, all his/her referrals and his/her referrals' referrals will be the one doing all the hardwork for him/her. Even if the founder only recruit five (5) people in the beginning, and then these five people recruit three (3) people each, then he/she being at the top of the heirarchy will receive commission to all twenty people (5 + 15 = 20). And if each of the recruited three (3) people will find their own recruits, and so on and so forth, can you imagine the commission that the founder of the MLM is making? And he/she don't even need to do anything anymore, all he/she has to do is go to the beach, buy his/her grande home, and let the people under his/her heirarchy do the hardwork of convincing people to join the MLM and sell the product or service.

That is why I am not a huge fan of MLM because for the most part the people that work hard in the group will not be the ones that will truly benefit the most in this kind of set-up. Most of the product that a MLM sell have similar products available for sale somewhere else without the high prices just to accomodate commission payments for the members that are on top of the heirarchy.

Advertise Your Blog Or Site With Graphics

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 20:41:00 +0000

If you have a blog or website and would like to advertise it in other websites, I personally think that its more effective when your blog or site have a corresponding unique 125x125 (or other sizes) customized graphic in it instead of just using the generic graphic or text provided. This is basing on my experience when I look for blogs that I wanted to advertise my blogs into, I usually look pass those generic graphics and ended up clicking the blogs with customized 125x125 graphics in them.

Here are some of my 125 pixels x 125 pixels graphics creation for some of my blogs:

If you dont know how to make one, I can create one for you (its not free though), just feel free to message me anytime. JWXR77SSG6XE

Online Shopping Advantage

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 17:06:00 +0000

With the all-time high price of gasoline and diesels, most of us are watching our gas consumption very closely. Most of us try our best not to go places unless its necessary, plan the grocery trips to get more items in one visit instead of making multiple trips that are basically flushing the savings away because of the cost of gas that you need to fill your car to get to the store.

The good news is, we have the option to do our shopping online! There are so many online stores that are open 24/7 a week, meaning you can shop whenever you want, at your own time and pace. The great thing about online shopping is that you dont need to use a single gallon in gasoline in your car. Just let your fingers do the clicking of the mouse, and your order will arrive at your door. With online shopping, orders will come to you, and you dont even need to travel to get it.

Online shopping comes very handy specially when you are a busy individual and you have so many task at hand that a trip to the department store and buy yourself new clothes is almost impossible! So take advantage of new technologies and let it work for you. Online shopping has been here for years, been practice by millions and millions of people, and it is here to stay.

What To Blog About

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:25:00 +0000

One of the most common challenge that many bloggers face today is what to post about! Blog used to be some kind of a personal diary, where you write about your daily happenings and experiences with friends and family. But since then, blogging evolves more than that. Nowadays, blogs are being utilized to share things that you know and have adequate knowledge of. You can blog about things that you use that work or not work and give people heads up about the products or items. You can use your blog to share your opinions and reviews about anything and everything around you! Blogs are no longer just a personal diary telling everyone what you did from dusk to dawn. Blogs nowadays are more informative and great source of information and perfect for some to do research about particular things.

So if you are one of those bloggers that are struggling to find what topic to talk about, if you have a general blog, then you can choose among almost limitless topics! But if you have very specific blog, which talk mainly about one thing, for example cars or quilting, then you need to be very passionate about this topic and love dealing with it in order for you to come up with postings and reviews related to cars or quilting almost on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Depends on how you setup your blog, as general or specific, that will affect what postings you can do. But even if you have very specific topic in your blog, it should be okey to talk something else, which is related to your original topic, just make sure that you will not detour your audience or readers all the time because they might get totally confused completely. So if you write about cooking, talking about grocery shopping or a farmers market is a related topic and it should be okey to insert these topics for your cooking blog.

If you own or maintain your own blog, the great thing about it is that you have the option to get creative and stylish as you can and you can choose whatever topics works for you bests that you are comfortable writing about. A blog is a center stage for you, with the world as your audience! So your creativity and imagination will play an important rule in how will you handle your blog!

Blog Traffic Could Lead To Success

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 03 May 2008 23:57:00 +0000

Most of my blogs are still young and still need enhancements and a lot of promotions to be known and be considered successful. I've been blogging for few months and I realized that updating and promoting blog is not as easy as it sounds. Blog requires a lot of time and effort in order to be successful. If you have a ton of budget for promotion and can pay someone else to do the hard work for you, then that is another story, of course. Most bloggers are self-made bloggers, blogging on their own and maintaining their contents mostly by themselves. For blogs that have good amount of visitors, these blogs success surely didn't happen overnight.

Here are some common ways that most bloggers do in order to improve their rankings and exposure in the world wide web:

Directory Submission. There are plenty of websites that are developed as directories. And with the growing popularity of blogs, a lot of these directories have categories mainly for just blogs. Each blog will be listed in the categories depending on the topic and content of the blog. So if you have a blog, why not submit it to blog directories in order to expose your blog to more audience. There are a lot of internet surfers who rely in categorized directories to find sites that they are interested in because they usually get more accurate and relevant results.

Search Engine Submission. Can you imagine having a blog about lighting, and every time internet surfers will enter the keyword lighting in the search engine such as Google, Yahoo, or MSN, you are on top of the list? If there are one million people type the word lighting in a single day, and your website link is on top of the search engine, then the chances that your link being seen and getting click is very very high, if not extremely high. So it is necessary that your blog will be included in the search engine if you dream of having tons of traffic in your blog or site!

Pay Per Click Advertising. I would like to relate Pay Per Click marketing to the phrase: It takes cash to get cash. If there are so many competing websites that are similar to yours, then you might have to take an extra step to stand out in the crowd, by paying for marketing. Just like traditional advertising, you pay for exposing and displaying your business and companies. With Pay Per Click, companies who offer their services post your links or ads to related websites, and every time a person see your posted ad, click it and go to your website or blog, you pay for such click, so it is like paying every person that enters your gate. A lot of times, Pay Per Click works and give you traffic because your ads will usually be displayed in related websites in mostly noticeable and visible locations of the page.

Easier said than done, but if you work hard enough to achieve at least one of the above methods, you have better chances of gaining traffic in the end, so all the hard work or cost may be worthwhile.

Branding Using Your Name

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 08:58:00 +0000

There are definitely great advantages of using your name as a brand name, and then eventually use it as a domain name for your company website. One obvious advantage is the branding. Everytime you market your brand, you are marketing yourself. The more you market and expose your brand, the more your name become known and familiar to many. With great exposure of your name as a branding, more and more people will likely become familiar with it, and if you have history of great quality products and/or services, then chances are, people who are familiar with your name/brand will likely try and utilize your new products and services as well.

The only main pitfall of using your name as a branding is that, it will be harder for you to sell your business since you are currently carrying the same name, and if someones else will buy your company or business, then you are more likely to give them the license to use your name as well, if you are selling your business with its current name. Although, the business buyer may change branding or name, but they will have to start from scratch promoting a new brand. When someone will buy your business from you, after purchase, you normally will have less or no longer have any control to the operation and reputation of the company, its operation, and what the company will become. So if you have plan to ever sell your domain name or business later on or in the near future, it would be better if you dont have to sell it with your name as the business name or brand. But if you have no plans to sell your business, then less worry.

Online Business Card That Works Hard

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 07:21:00 +0000

In the offline world, everyone is probably familiar or have seen a business card, one way or the other. Normally a standard business card measures around 2 in x 3.5 in cardboard paper containing your name or business name, contact information, and other data that relates to you or your company.

In the online world, a new way to hand or distribute a business card is EntreCard. Where you will have a space where you can add an image or graphic, a short information regarding your website and what it is all about. And then you will be given a html code that you can post in your site so that other people who already signed up for Entrecard can drop their Entrecards to yours, to let you know that they were there and you will know where to find them. If you came across any website with EntreCard drop off, then you also have the option to drop off your EntreCard there, so that the site owner will know where to find you.

The great thing about Entrecard is their point system. You earn point everytime you drop your card. You also earn point when a visitor to your site drops off their card in your EntreCard drop off area. As your points accumulate, you can use these points to buy box ads from other EntreCard owners to invite more traffic to your website. The box ad is your 125x125 EntreCard image which will appear in the EntreCard drop-off area of the particular site where you bought an ad from. Other EntreCard members can also buy ads from you using their points. The more ads you accept to advertise in your website, the more points you earn which in return you can use to buy ads from other EntreCard members. Whatever you do is a win-win-win situation! So why not checkout Entrecard today, to get idea of how it works.

If you are looking to have your EntreCard image designed and customized, please do not hesitate to contact me too. I do graphics and photos.

NOTE: Entrecard.com was closed later 2012, and is no longer available for blog promotions.

Acceptable Topics For Your Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 02:37:00 +0000

Blogging these days is definitely growing and becoming more and more popular, not only to people who like to write a journal and keep a personal diary of their day to day living and experience, but as well as for several different companies and businesses who realize this new valuable online tool, blogging, that allows them to reach out to more costumers and more people. Gone are the days that blogging is just a diary to write down their day to day personal experiences and family stories, blogging has reach new heights, where its becoming a method of advertising for products and services for some businesses and companies, giving bloggers plenty of opportunity to earn while blogging.

But if you own a blog and want to tap into these growing new way of advertising, by writing articles and postings that are sponsored. It is so easy and tempting to jump in to every opportunity that comes along, and just accept whatever topic comes in your way. If your blog is about travel, or garden, but you came across an opportunity to write about gaming or medical stuff, are you willing to accept such opportunities just to earn some dollars?

I personally think that if you have blog with very specific topics, you should always try to retain that specific topic, and you only accept writing jobs and advertising that are related to your specific topic. If your blog or site is not a general topic, because you originally intended to write certain topic like makeup, or decorating, or animals, then it might not a good idea to add a post there that talk about online gaming, or surgery, etc. If you do this, your blog will lost focus and your unrelated contents may possibly turn off your readers and viewers specially when its totally off-topic. In trying to earn few dollars, you may be slowly harming your blog reputation, by accepting topics that are totally unrelated to what your blog was originally intended for.

For the sake of longer terms, if you want to retain your blog reputation intact the whole time, its good to know the purpose of your blog, what topics are acceptable and you are willing to include in your write ups, without harming your blog or site in the long run.

Why Comment Moderation Is Important

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:11:00 +0000

Few years ago, I managed an online forum related to the website that I managed as well, but I ended up discontinuing the forum part of it because of the spammers postings nothing but irrelevant advertising of their products and services, mostly fake rip-off handbags, prescriptions drugs, enhancement products, and more! And some of these postings were obviously done by automatic programs, also known as robotic spammers. And if you don't moderate your comments or guestbook sections of the blog or site, then you could possibly ended up with a lot of these entry junks, which is a huge turn-off for your site visitors and readers. If you cannot control the contents of your site or blog, specially when it comes to all the spams and junks added, then it wont be long when most of your human readers, who wanted to read your entries, will not stay when they have to deal with all kinds of unwanted spams.

So its important that all entries including your guestbook and comment entries must be moderated by a human being to make sure that everything that will be seen in your blog or site is something that you actually want to show to your readers and visitors. You don't want to damage your blog or site reputation due to the dirty works of spammers out there. Keep your site and blog as desirable as always, don't let unwanted postings crawl their way. That's why we have the option to moderate comments and guestbook entries, to have total control of all entries and hopefully keep it that way.

There are several extra measures that you can take to control all comments and entries to new heights like graphic verification, image identification, numerical operations questions, and more. All these require that the postie need to think and see or hear in order to determine the answer to the question or verification, that she/he can type the answer in the space provided to distinguish between what is human and what is automatic program.

Advantage of Having Your Own Domain Name

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 02:19:00 +0000

Do you own a website or a blog but currently don't have a web hosting account? Then you are probably battling whether to get and register your own domain name or not. A hosted blog or website with generic domain name means that you are currently using a blogging platform provided by a blogging company and at the same time use their free server space to store your data and the current URL address of your blog or website is formatted like this: YourDomain.BlahBlahBlahXXXX.com. While, o the other hand, having your own domain name means that you own and register your own URL address for your blog or site that looks like this www.YourDomain.com

So what are the advantages and disadvantages of having your own domain name instead of using the generic URL address? First and for most, i personally think that there is no major disadvantages of having your own domain name, except for the cost of maintaining and keeping the domain name year after year. But regardless of whether you own your domain name or you are using a generic URL address, you are stil going to take time and effort to promote your blog or website, either way. And that is where the main advantage of having your own domain name comes in. If you own your own domain (with format www.YourDomain.com), then you are promoting your own brand and your name. Even if you change or switch from one blogging platform to the next, your domain name will remain the same, and all your time and effort promoting your domain name will not be wasted because you will always have the same domain name that will point to your blog or website, even if you change servers, hosting companies, or software platforms.

The only time that your effort will be wasted completely trying to promote your own domain name is when you decide to change your domain name to another name. If you rename your domain name. then you have to start promoting your new name all over again.

Get Some Traffic To Your Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 22:01:00 +0000

You probably have a very brilliant idea, very interesting articles in your blog, but if you don't have traffic, who would appreciate all the hard work that you work so hard for? I don't think you write and prepare every single post in your blog so that you can read it all by yourself, do you? Like many other bloggers, I am also new to the blogging world, so I am still learning as I go along. But here are few areas things that will help you start fueling your blog engine, get some traffic in your terrific blog, and let the tires rolling and drive:

BlogCatalog.com is also a great community of bloggers, where members can submit each of their blog, and if approved by the management, it will have great chances of being seen to many bloggers and readers who are members of the site. Each blog will have a community page, where any member can subscribe and join if they are interested to receive new updates and news regarding your blogs. There is also group discussion where you can discuss topics that you like and get the opinions and thoughts of other bloggers who are interested in the same topic.

MyBlogLog.com is a great community of bloggers, where members can submit each of their blogs in one place, create an about me page, and let other bloggers get to know you and know more about the blogs you have. Each of your blog will have a special page where you can add short introduction, add some tags, a space where the the site display the latest feeds of your blog, and where other members can join your blog community and get updated for new postings you have.
NOTE: MyBlogLog.com was discontinued by Yahoo and is no longer available for blog promotions.

Leave Comments. Be genuinely interested in what others have to say, not just yours. Remember, that others have opinions and minds, too. Other peoples views might be different from yours, and you will discover more of these if you read their blogs. If you read other peoples blog, you can genuinely leave feedbacks related to their post. The main rule is, never leave feedback just to advertise your blog, that is spamming, it is not being nice, and they will not visit your blog when you try to advertise your blog in their comment section. Comment section is there so that you can leave comment related to the post at hand, not so you can advertise! If you leave comments, feedback and reactions related to the topic of the post, the blog owner and other readers of the same blog might notice your comment, what you have to say, and click your name to find out more about you and your blog! So the key is, be genuinely sincere in leaving comments related to the post only. Do not post in the comment section something like: Visit my blog at blah blah blah. You are most likely a candidate for being block listed.

Entrecard Submission. Submit your blogs to Entrecard where you can be a part of blogging community and be able to include your blog to their specific categories of blogs. Read more about Entrecard here.
NOTE: Entrecard.com was closed later 2012, and is no longer available for blog promotions.

Social Media Postings. With the ever growing popularity of social media these past few years, its definitely one of the main traffic generator for your blogs if you work on getting a lot of followers and grab the opportunity to make your blogs known as well. Read more about social media marketing here.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 09:21:00 +0000

You heard it right, make money while you blog! There are several ways that you can possibly monetize your blogs:

PAY PER CLICK - One of the most popular Pay-Per-Click advertising today is Google AdSense. All you have to do is apply with Google for a Google AdSense account and once you have a valid account, you can start posting Google ads in your websites or blogs, and every time your site/blog visitor will click on the Google ad, you will be paid accordingly thru your Google account. The best thing about this type of advertising is that you can fully customize the look and feel of the ads to make it look like it is really part of the site. It is a target advertising, which the ads that will be displayed in your account will be based on the topics contained in your site, this way, your visitors are more likely to click the ads because the ads are related to the topic of your site which is a topic that draws them to your site in the first place.

PAY PER POST - mainly for blogging and is becoming a very popular means to make money out of your blogs. Although, not all blogs and/or will be qualified for this, you need to meet the minimum criteria of the PayPerPost companies to have your blog get accepted. Many Par Per Post companies will require that your blog must be active, fresh, and running for months. But once you passed the application process, you can start earning money by blogging about the companies products and/or services. Usually, you will be paid per post. Pay Per Post companies will have clients known as the advertisers who are willing to pay cash to bloggers who can talk/blog about their product/service. These advertisers are willing to pay because they got marketing gain in return.

AFFILIATE PROGRAMS - there are endless of affiliate program that you can apply and join. Most online companies have affiliate programs to help promote their products and services. In most cases, the company will provide data like approved banners and text advertising that you can utilized and post in your websites and/or blogs. Each affiliate program is unique, depending on the companies rules and terms. There are some affiliate program that give you a certain percentage of the sale if you lead your site visitor to their site and make a purchase or avail a service. Other program will pay you for the leads. It works best if you know your audience and you sign up for affiliate programs that are of interests to your audience.

Is blogging for you?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 01:38:00 +0000

Blogging is more like a diary, a daily journal, to write an article or a post daily or every other day. You can basically write about anything, your stories, your knowledge, your business, your skills, your experiences, your expertise to name a few. But blogging takes time, a time to write and post something in your blog to keep your audience up-to-date with the topic related to your blog. The question is, do you have time? Are you willing to spend several minutes or an hour or two of your time almost everyday to blog? This is what blogging is all about, taking time to gather your brain and write something for anyone to read and be willing to share that information to almost anyone!

When you blog, you need to be current, up-to-date, and post as much postings every month to encourage your readers to come back. To help you get motivated to write as frequent as you can, you need to have some good knowledge and some skills related to the topic that you are focusing on your blog. Some peoples motivation for blogging is making extra cash, other is to help change the world, others want to promote themselves and/or their business, while others just want to share their life stories, their life.

So the answer to the question: Is blogging for you? Relies solely in each one of us, whether you have time to write, whether you are willing to share your knowledge and stories with your readers, or whether you are motivated enought to try to make money out of blogging, or just you have plenty of time to enjoy writing about your passions.

Anyone can blog, its just a questions of what to blog and if you have the time to write posts for your blog everyday or twice a week?

Avoid getting ripped off online

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 06:40:00 +0000

One of the most popular and widely used marketplace online is eBay, utilized by millions of people internationally. Unfortunately, where there are huge number of people in one place, there are also bigger chances of encountering with scammers. There many different stories of people who got ripped off by other members on eBay either as a buyer or as a seller. But there are ways to minimize your chances of being victimized by these scammers.

Here are some tips you might want to try:

Always check member feedback. Ebay provides feedback system as an aide to help tell the reputation of each eBay member. More positive feedbacks given by more fellow members means that such member have history of great, pleasant transactions with other members and is more likely the right eBayer that you want to buy from or sell to. Negative feedbacks says it all, negative, take it as a warning for you. More negative means more warnings for you. If an eBay member have zero feedback, be more guarded and cautious as well.

Too good to be true. Some deals might be too nice to believe. Trust your instinct. Most reliable eBay sellers are not selling on eBay because they feel like they need to give away like a Santa Claus. One way or another, many people try to make some bucks as supplementray income for their family. So if you feel like you are getting such a deal, too good to be true deals, ask the question why? If an item is worth $100 in stores, and you are getting the product for $5, do you think its for real? Do you think the seller will be reliable, worth dealing with?

If in doubt, ask! If seller provides any unclear description, unclear photos, ask seller for clarifications or verifications. That way you will not be assuming and guessing. If you are buying used item, ask seller if there are any flaws or damages to the item, specially if the description seems short and sound shady and incomplete. Conditions that says excellent, great, good, fair, mint tell you something about the actual condition in general about the product, not specifics. So if specific description is not indicated like why is it fair not excellent? Ask the seller before you bid or buy.

For eBay sellers, its always a great idea to require clearing period for any Money Order or Personal Check payments prior to shipment of any orders to make sure that such payment is not fake check or not be cancelled. Since such process will affect the delivery time, make sure that you mentioned the clearing period in your descriptions, specify days like 8-10 work days.

For eBay sellers, having a confirmation or tracking number for any items being shipped will basically tell the seller if the buyer received the item or not. Its also always good to know if the packages are successfully shipped that way.

If you are receiving emails from eBay, make sure that it really originated from eBay site. If you are not sure, you can also login to eBay site directly and use the MyEbay > Messages instead, where all real eBay messages are also sent.

So if you follow some of the tips mentioned above, you minimized your chances of being a scam victim. Remember, its always good to trust your gut feeling, be cautious and be observant.

Towards A Successful eBay Business

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 00:42:00 +0000

Making it on eBay is very possible. In my opinion, eBay have changed the way the world do business and trading, its has become a global phenomenom. There are probably millions of users everyday that shop on eBay all over the globe. So if you are a business inclined individual and want to tap in this huge marketplace, its always wise to consider listing on eBay for the possibility of being seen by a huge numbers of global audience.

Having a business on eBay is very promising but at the same time it is also very tricky and very challenging. Just as there are lots of buyers on eBay, there are also a lot of sellers, so expect rough, tough, and high competitions so you wont get disappointed and break right away. But if you have found great product that is in high demand, and there are not a lot of eBay sellers competing with you, then you will really have a great chance of making it big.

But basing on my eBay experience both as a seller and a buyer, listing on eBay is NOT just all about having the product to sell. There are other several factors that make or break the deal. As simple as days of the week, timings, photos, listing categories, product prices, product descriptions, feedback score, customer service, and more are all critical factors that definitely affect and highly contribute for the success or failure of your eBay businesses. So I would highly suggest you provide clear, close-up photos of your products, provide honest and correct description of your products, never lie because they will get you in the feedback anyways. Your eBay feedback is very important to your reputation specially if you are an Ebay seller. A lot of ebayers visit the feedback history of a member prior to buying/selling to make sure that they are dealing with a reliable, and honest person. So if there are flaws, tear, breaks or damage in your products, make sure that you will mention these in your item description as well, and possibly provide photos of these flaws too. When prospect buyers ask questions regarding your products, try your best to answer their questions before the listing or auction ends, that way they will feel assured that you are really there, you are within reach, and it will also help develop buyer trust confidence to buy from you. It is also very important to list your products at the proper times of day, proper day of the week, and proper month of the year. There are not a lot of people shopping for Halloween stuff in the month of January or February because most people are busy shopping gifts and decors for Valentines Day. Listing your product on the right category also affects the exposures of your products. There are several categories on eBay, each category is unique, some categories have a lot of sellers, some have few sellers. If the product you are selling have several competing sellers, meaning there are more listings in such category then your product exposures will lessen and get buried right away, so try to consider availing some eBay listing upgrades like bold text, thumbnails, box ads, gallery.

So if you want your business to make it big on eBay, it sure is very possible, but it will surely take to have the right product and lots of works and efforts from you.

Winning eBay Auctions

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 22:56:00 +0000

There is nothing as frustrating as wanting so badly something you found on eBay, bidding on it, and found out that you lost the auction. Based on my eBay experience as a buyer or bidder, here are some of my tricks to make sure I have bigger chances of winning the item I want:

Bid on an item and then also place your maximum bid, so that eBay program will automatically increment your bid for you if someone else is bidding on the same item. Mostly bidders set their maximum bid according to how much maximum price you are willing to pay for the item.

Turn on your outbid message alert in your MyeBay preferences. Bid on the item that you want the moment you see it, and if other eBayers will bid on the same item, eBay program will automatically notify you by your eBay email address that you been outbid, that way, you can place another bid.

Sign-in to messenger alert that is incorporated with eBay website, so that you will be notified by eBay thru your messenger if you been outbid or not.

Some auctions are listed as dutch auctions, where the seller have several similar items available and the seller is listing them as one single auction with multiple availability. Example of a dutch auction is a seller list an auction as dutch with 10 pieces available, if you bid on such auction listing, you will have 10 chances of getting a winning bid because all top 10 bidders of such auction listing will ended up winning one (1) piece of item.
Turn on your second chance offer setting in MyeBay preferences, so that if all tips above fails and you still didnt win the auction and you have decent maximum bid, the seller will possibly offer you a second chance offer if they have the extra available items. A second chance offer is an optional way provided by ebay that a seller can choose to offer to those who bid the item but didnt win. Second Chance offer price will be based on your maximum bid of the item you didnt win. Seller have the choice who she/he want to offer the second chance among the non-winning bidders, your chances to get this offer is bigger if you have decent maximum bid.

Good luck on your treasure hunting on eBay!

Selling on eBay

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 01 May 2007 16:30:00 +0000

Selling on eBay can possibly be a very rewarding experience financially because of the huge international audience that eBay can provide to its users. But as easy as it sounds, there are several challenges and factors to consider to be a successful eBay seller. Basing on my eBay experience as both a buyer and seller, having a product to sell on eBay is not enough. There are other several factors that you need to consider to be a successful ebay seller.

There are millions and millions of eBay users worldwide. These millions include both buyers and sellers. Chances are, if you are planning to sell on eBay, you have competetions. When you are competing with other sellers, dont forget to consider how low can you go in your prices and actually make some profit after cost. More sellers than buyers in a particular product type may mean that you need to adjust your prices lower to compete with other sellers and make a sale. But the question is, how low can you go and still make a profit after cost?

eBay provides several product categories. To improve your chances of being seen by the right audience, try to list your products in the proper category. If you are selling auto parts, I dont think it is wise to place your listing in the jewelry category because buyers who visit the jewelry categories are mostly ladies and they are not the likely audience that would usually buy auto parts.

Timing is everything. Know when the proper timing to list your items. Know when is the perfect timing to list your product with best chances of being seen by more potential buyers. Try not to list your halloween products during the months of January and February because most people are busy shopping gifts and products related to Valentines Day. There might be some few collectors that will actually buy during off-season, but if you want more traffic in your listings, get the proper timing. Its also important to consider the best time of day, best day of the week, and best month of the year.

Provide accurate and clear photos of your products because these are the only basis that your potential customers can see your products. Your photos will be a major deciding factor that could make or break the sale. If you provide blurr photos, some buyers might suspect that you are hiding something. Besides, buyers dont just spend their money in something like a mystery or something they are not so sure what they are getting.

Provide honest and accurate item descriptions. If there are flaws, imperfections or damage in your product, never fail to mention it in your listings. Buyers have the right to know these stuff, so if possible, provide clear photos of these flaws as well, or atleast describe the flaw in your listing. Let your buyers know the condition of the item that they will be paying for. Besides, if you are not honest, dishonesty will most likely show in your feedback.

Maintain great feedback score. Many ebayers check the feedback history of each member before they attempt to buy and sell because many ebayers need to know who they are dealing with online. They want to know the history of your previous transactions to be able to decide if you are a reliable and trusthworthy seller. And your eBay feedback will be the one that helps other ebayers to know your reputation.
