How To: Easy Way To Get Twitter Followers Fast

noreply@blogger.com (justadeveloper) — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 16:37:00 +0000

Twiends is very interesting tool. If you have ever looked into traffic exchange programs, then you can say that Twiends is a traffic exchange program in steroids. The magic of Twiends is that you can add not only your website, but your Facebook page or your Twitter account as well.

You can go in and sign up for Twiends for free. You can start getting Twitter followers fast and you can also increase your website traffic and ranking. Just to show you how powerful this tool can be, let me tell you about my first 5 days with Twiends.

Within the first 2 days in Twiends I…

was finally able to generate leads, 29 to be exact
grew my Twitter account by over 700 followers!!
grew my daily traffic to my affiliate websites
made a Clickbank sale

If you know how to manage your Twitter account, you can probably get even better results. I knew nothing about Twitter when I started. The one thing I did that helped me though, was to sign up to SocialOomph and setup an automated “thank your for the follow” message, that had the address of my website. I know of people who have great results adding their Facebook pages in their message.

Twiends can definitely get you Twitter followers fast, it’s just a matter of being consistent getting credits, and also about maintaining your Twitter account. Just for kicks I tried creating a second Twiends account with a different Twitter account and this time I didn’t put any information in my Twitter account. The amount of people who unfollowed me was significantly higher than in the one that I updated regularly… this showed me that the Twiends community is active and that they DO look at your updates and you account.

Just in case, if you just don’t feel like spending time following people or visiting their sites you can buy credits, at a very affordable price. I actually have a secret weapon, a better solution where you only pay a fraction of the price that Twiends charges per credit and you get tons of credits daily without “wasting” your time.

All I can say is give it a try. If you want Twitter followers fast, Twiends is it! The follower crowd that you are going to get it is not the most relevant for your niche, since they do it because they want to earn credits, but if you can finally start getting leads and maybe even get a couple of sales from an absolutely free service, why not!?

I have been getting Twiends credits everyday with my secret weapon and the results are simply amazing. Get you Twiends credits and start getting Twitter followers fast.

Auto Coupon Cash Scam Or Cash Machine? You Decide!

If you were to believe everything that came into your inbox, not only would you be best friends with a Nigerian Prince, but EVERYTHING about you would be bigger, including your bank balance. After all, besides the various pills and potions, the Internet is also full of "money making opportunities".

Its easy to turn your nose up at products and courses that claim all sorts of fantastic benefits. Most advertisements online will promise you fame, fortune, and easy ways to stay in shape. Still, just because many of these promises will never be delivered, and this is a super-important point, that doesn't mean that EVERY work from home product is a scam.

While its creators do exaggerate their claims a bit, for my part, I've found that the product is made with way more fact than fiction.

Essentially, they are claiming that one of the most powerful tools people can use to generate sales is coupons. This is a pretty big claim to be making...

Of course, they are absolutely right.

You can see for yourself.

The part that is exaggerated is the way they imply that once you have these coupons, sales are just going to fall from the sky. The fact of the matter is that their "method" requires a bit of work to make go, but once you set it up, its remarkably effective.

But I'll be honest, that's not even the best part.

Their main product is a STEAL at $37, but the best part doesn't come until AFTER you've already bought that!

Every product has its "upsell" but I've never seen an upsell that was more valuable than the actual product!

They are actually offering sites that grab leads for you and that they'll update for you on a DAILY basis! With UNIQUE CONTENT!

This isn't some trashy PLR product, this is actual writers creating unique articles for sites that they professionally put together for you! Plus they update - so they don't leave much of anything for you to do but make money!

To get this gem of a service though, you've got to buy their initial product, plus the two upsells at the end. You can always return it all if you DON'T think its valuable (but you'd have to be a moron to think that once you see what you get!).

In fact, if I could only name one thing that they do extremely well, its that they certainly don't leave you high and dry.

Overall, the product is excellent at creating a strong foundation for online earnings. While its not as easy as they imply to get their method to work, once you get it going the money practically earns itself!

The sites themselves are high quality, come hosted, complete with updates, which is I have to say that if you were looking for some bad news on Auto Coupon Cash, you'll be looking a long time!

To grab your Auto Coupon Cash package before they are COMPLETELY sold out, just click the link below now! This offer is good for a limited time only, and in my opinion, its an opportunity that you can't afford to miss!

My Take on ViralURL

noreply@blogger.com (justadeveloper) — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 07:05:00 +0000

So you have finally stepped into the world of making money online. You too, like the others, have decided to start with the affiliate programs. Also, you must have heard that it’s not a big deal to make good money with affiliate marketing, provided you choose the right programs and do some strategic planning while promoting your affiliate products. So far so good.

Whether you are promoting other people’s products or promoting your own products – that doesn’t matter because after all it is nothing but your own business and your means to earn good money. So whichever be your case, I am sure you would not want to leave money on the table and invite others to steal your share of profit.

Even though the industry of affiliate marketing is pretty competitive but if you are cautious and are strategic in your marketing techniques then, it could be very profitable for you.

Take a close look at the industry, you will see that not every one who gets into affiliate marketing is successful. People who are doing well leave no room for failure and take all security measures and understand its importance.

Yes! Security is one of the key factors in affiliate marketing. If you do not adopt proper security measures, then your business will be at high risk. One of the most important way to restore security is to protect your affiliate links. Do not take them for granted. A bit of carelessness on your part in regards to affiliate links may cost you a lot of dollars.

Do you know the long complicated links that you send to your prospective customers not only look convoluted but they can create a lot of problems too! If you send such an affiliate link to your customers, then the smart ones will definitely figure out that you are promoting someone else’s product and they would rather visit the parent company. Also, if your link does not function then your customers have to type a really long URL into the browser, which will definitely put him or her off.

You could be a victim of even a worse situation. What if some devious Internet pirates steal your affiliate links and replace them with theirs. If they do that, then you get no commission at all.

Did I scare you off with all of the above possibilities? Well, that certainly wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to open your eyes and state facts that actually happen in the world of Internet. It happened with me until I came across ViralURL , that brought a revolution to my online ventures.

So, if you are not getting the desired results out of your affiliate marketing,don’t lose hope. There’s definitely a remedy to this problem and that is ViralURL.com

Do I hear you asking, what is it and how can it help in averting any adverse situation for an affiliate marketer like me?
Be patient and read on, if you love your business.

ViralURL is a link cloaker that protects you in the truest sense. There may be many unethical people lurking around, who might play with your affiliate links by cutting them off or replacing them with their own etc. How much effort you put in towards building your business and advertising your business, if your links are tampered with, then all your hard work will be rendered useless.

In order to avoid such a rip off, ViralURL gives you full protection and sees to it that your affiliate links never get exposed to others.

So save yourself from getting ripped. Get all the commissions to your account that you rightfully deserve. All this is made possible by ViralURL.com

It is a blessing for every affiliate marketer like you and me, who wants to achieve success in their endeavor.

Is ViralURL limited to only link protection?

NO!

It does much much more than that. Let’s see what ViralURL can do for us:

*ViralURL helps us in protecting commission.
*ViralURL helps in building mailing lists.
*ViralURL helps in tracking statistics.
*ViralURL helps in earning extra ad credits.

In short, ViralURL allows us to create massive business leverage.
I don’t see any negative aspect associated with ViralURL. All you have to do is join it for free, then cloak your links, promote them and see your business soaring higher and higher.

You can get all detailed information about the program from the site www.ViralURL.com . There, you can find several unsolicited testimonials from various users of ViralURL. So if you want to protect your business and see your earnings grow, try ViralURL. You have nothing to lose with it.

A Profound Way to Rewire Your Brain

noreply@blogger.com (justadeveloper) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:50:00 +0000

Every time you see your goal or intention on the Wizard's screen you physically rewire your brain by creating new neural pathways. This is the most powerful way to change the definition of yourself. In the beginning, your conscious mind may experience some resistance to your new goal or intention.
This simply means you are getting out of your comfort zone and growing. Over time it will get easier for your mind to accept these new commands. After a couple of weeks your brain will be completely rewired and your new goal, intention or belief will be fully integrated.
In a nutshell: Use affirmations to change your attitudes; use intentions to set a path that you will follow until it is fulfilled; use goals to set milestones for this path.

How to Play the Acoustic Guitar

noreply@blogger.com (justadeveloper) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:36:00 +0000

Guitar Lesson One - Getting Started

This FREE course in brought to you by Jamorama - The Ultimate Guitar Learning Kit

Sitting Positions

There are two sitting positions for holding the guitar; classical and casual.

1. Pick up the guitar and make sure that the guitar body is supported by your leg.
2. Position yourself at the edge of your chair.
3. Ensure that your back is relaxed but straight.
4. Lean the guitar back towards you slightly.

Standing Position

1. Pick up the guitar and place the strap over your shoulder. Adjust the strap so that the guitar is positioned mid-body.
2. Use your left hand to support the neck of the guitar.
3. Rest your right hand over the bridge of the guitar.

Hand Positions

It is important that you relax your wrists and hands. Straining them can cause injury.

Front View
Rear View

Warning! Make sure that you never position your hand like this:

Your thumb should never be placed this low on the neck of the guitar as it puts
unnecessary strain on your wrist and thumb.

Fretting

When you play the guitar, you use your left hand fingers to press down the strings on the fret board of the guitar and use your right hand to pluck or strum the stings at the bridge end of the guitar. Using your left hand to press the strings on the fret board is called fretting. Here are some tips you will need to know:

1. Short fingernails are essential.
2. Use only the tips of your fingers to press the strings.
3. When making a chord, be sure that each fingertip is placed directly behind the fret.
We will cover chords in lesson one.
4. Check each string that it rings clearly and is not muted or buzzing.

As a beginner guitarist, it may hurt your fingers to play. This is normal. Every guitarist starts this way for the first couple of weeks. With practice, you will develop guitar fingers (hard skin on your fingertips).

Holding the Pick

Position the pick between thumb and index fingers like in the diagram below:

Time to take a break. Well done, you've just completed the first part of this newsletter. Next you are about to learn about chords and by the end of this lesson you'll have learnt the A Major chord.

Don't forget, for the ultimate guitar learning kit which includes step-by-step written lessons, video lessons, audio lessons and sophisticated software games, visit Jamorama.com

Now you are ready to start your first lesson. Your aim in this lesson is to learn the A and D major chords and to introduce yourself to reading guitar tablature. This lesson is very important, so I want you to really focus.

Remember! It is more beneficial for you to practice multiple times during a week than to practice for one long session. This is because your brain processes information in chunks at a time and it can only hold a certain amount in short term storage.

For example, with phone numbers, it is very difficult to remember any more than 7 digits at a time. Yet if you give yourself time between practicing, even if it is just 10 minutes, you’ll find that your brain is much more efficient at turning your short term practice into long term knowledge. More information on effective learning is contained in our Jamorama product at Jamorama.com.

Ok. That aside, let’s get started on the lesson. To start with, I want you to have a look at the guitar neck diagram below and make note of all the relevant pieces of information.

Frets
The guitar neck is divided into what we call frets, making a fret board. Most guitars have around 20 frets. In this first book, we will focus on the first four, also known as the first position. In book 2, we will move beyond that. Notice that we number each fret starting at 1 at the head of the guitar.

Note: Each string on the guitar is numbered. When you hold your guitar as you would when using the casual playing position, the 1st string is at the bottom and the 6th string is at the top.

Notice also the term, ‘Tuning’ at the bottom of the above diagram. Tuning refers to the notes that the guitar strings are tuned to. In the above diagram, I have given a very common tuning called standard E tuning that consists of the notes E, A, D, G and B. Strings 1 and 6 are both tuned to the note E. The open 6th string is called low E. The open 1st string is called high E as it is two octaves higher than the 6th string open E. I will explain notes and octaves to you in a later newsletter, but for now, you only need to know the names of the notes in standard open E tuning.

Now make sure that your guitar is tuned to open E tuning (the most common tuning). If you don't know how to tune your guitar, then download my free guide to tuning your guitar from: http://www.jamorama.com/tuning/howtotune.pdf. Or if you are already a member of Jamorama.com, you can use our guitar tuning software to help you tune your guitar.

**Note: To open the above tuning.pdf file you'll need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can download a free copy of this from: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

We will stick to standard E tuning throughout this newsletter, but you can find other tunings to play with in our member’s area at www.jamorama.com.

Introduction to Chords

Now we are going to look at guitar chords. Guitarists use many different chords to make progressions or riffs that can then be used to create songs. If you are not familiar with some of these terms, it’s ok. We will cover everything that I am talking about in good time.

A chord is defined as a combination of 3 or more notes played together. To examine this, I want to take a look at chord diagrams. Chord diagrams are used to illustrate how a chord is played. They are very easy to use because they look very much like the neck of the guitar, in fact, the Jamorama chord diagram is a guitar neck.

As stated above the Jamorama chord diagrams are going to be pictures of an ‘actual’ guitar neck so it’s easy to make the connection between strings and fingering. There is also a picture of the type of chord diagram that appears in most other Guitar learning guides. I want you to be aware of that form of ‘standard’ chord diagram because you may want to use it when writing up chords on paper at home.

So, now that you know what a chord diagram looks like and how it matches with the neck of your guitar, it’s time to come back to what I said earlier about a chord being a combination of 3 or more notes played together. Finger placing symbols are added to the chord diagram so we know which notes to play. To start with, let’s look at your fingers.

We give each playing finger a number that we can then match up on the chord diagram (see below).

And now, let’s look at a full chord diagram. We will use the example of the A major chord:

Chord Diagram - A Major Chord
In the chord diagram below you can see that the A major chord uses fingers 1, 2, and 3. Take note of how this chord diagram looks - we will use this style from now on.

The A major chord is constructed of the notes A, C# and E. We will cover notes a little later. For now, we will make chords without knowledge of individual notes.

Note that there is a red dot marking the 6th string on the above chord diagram. The red dot tells you that you are not to play that string. The sixth string of the A major chord is not played, but you play the rest.

Throughout this newsletter series, every chord diagram will be accompanied by a picture of the chord being held on the fret board and video and audio of the chord being played for you to check with. Pictured below is the A major chord being played.

Exercise: Playing the A Major Chord
Position each finger with care, according to the above diagram. Make sure that each fingertip is placed directly behind the fret. Firstly, pluck across the strings one by one with your right hand, checking that each string rings clearly and is not muted or buzzing. Play the first Audio or video example to hear how the chord should sound.

Now that we’ve looked at chord diagrams, I want to move on to strumming.

Introduction to Strumming
In a strum there are two types of guitar stroke. They are up stroke and down stroke. Throughout this book these strokes will be notated as follows:

When you play a stroke, you strum across the strings just in front of the bridge of the guitar with the pick in your left hand. When strumming a chord, make sure that you play all of the necessary strings in the chord. The stroke direction will depend on which stroke is indicated; up or down as shown above.

Exercise: Strumming the A Major Chord
Position each finger with care, according to the A Major chord diagram (above). Make sure that each fingertip is placed directly behind the fret. Firstly, pluck across the strings one by one with your right hand, checking that each string rings clearly and is not muted or buzzing. Once you are sure that you are holding the A major chord correctly, practice strumming the chord in single downward strokes as indicated below:

While you play this, see if you can say out loud an even 4 count. Another option if you are a Jamorama.com member is to use the jamorama metronome - it will help you to stay in time.

Tip: You can download a video or audio example of the above exercise to see and hear it for yourself. The download links are below (right click on the link and select "save as"):

Try your best to start your strum from the fifth string each time you strum. A major, doesn’t sound bad if you accidentally hit the top string, although if you want your music to sound professional, you’ll want to play this chord properly. Remember to stay relaxed. Your fingers may hurt a little but they will get stronger.

Now that you are playing the A major chord properly, let’s take a look at strumming another chord...

The D Major Chord
The D Major Chord is constructed of the notes D, F# (F sharp) and A and is played using fingers 1, 2 and 3:

As with the A major chord: try strumming the D major chord in downward strokes with your right hand.

Tip: You can download a video or audio example of the above exercise to see and hear it for yourself. The download links are below (right click on the link and select "save as"):

Note: The top two, or fifth and sixth, strings are not played in the D major chord. Make sure that you start your stroke from the third string each time you strum D major, it doesn’t sound bad if you accidentally hit the fifth string, although as with A major above, if you want your music to sound professional, you need to play this chord properly.

Hints for Buying a New Guitar
Whether you’re buying your first guitar, upgrading or simply adding to your collection, your first priority is to do your homework. There are many different resources available and you should endeavor to use them all. Guitar magazines are a good place to find out prices and specifications on different models of guitar. You can get similar knowledge from browsing at your local instrument shop. Another great tool is the internet – you can check for the most competitive prices, get some information on the manufacturers and search for other guitarist’s reviews and opinions.

You really need to arm yourself well before you try haggling with your local guitar salesman.

Often you can find online auctions where guitars sell for incredibly low prices; however, I wouldn’t advise you to take this option. As a rule you should always play before you buy so that you get a chance to gauge performance.

Once you’ve got the background knowledge that you need on the guitar of your choice the next task is to set yourself a budget and stick to it. Don’t let salespeople talk you into spending more money than you anticipated.

Testing out new guitars in the shop can be an intimidating task for beginners. It is important to remember that you are not there to showcase your playing ability – you are there to discern whether your proposed buy is a good deal or not. Check the frets for buzzing by playing each one. Make sure that the neck is not warped by looking down it as if you were sighting a gun. Check that all of the volume and tone switches etc. are in good working condition.

It is a great idea to take an experienced guitarist along with you when you are looking at a possible purchase, so see if you can persuade a teacher of friend. Not only will they be able to offer helpful advice – they will be good moral support when it’s time to pick up the guitar and test it out in public.

I have been experimenting with writing articles for a How To website called eHow.com. This site shares the ad revenue from any articles you write that brings in traffic.

I haven't quit my job and made my internet millions yet, but I have been having fun writing.

Check out my articles and comment if you like. Maybe write your own.

Here are the articles I have written so far:

Free .Net online training from Microsoft

noreply@blogger.com (justadeveloper) — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 01:50:00 +0000

I just discovered some free .Net E-learning courses / training from Microsoft called the Ramp Up program.

From the site:

What Is Ramp Up?
Ramp Up is a free, online, community-based learning program,
with a number of different tracks that will help you build your portfolio of
professional development skills. Ramp Up has a solid foundation of premium
technical content from subject-matter gurus, and provides easy-to-access content
in a variety of forms that guide you in learning the important skills. Join Ramp
Up (it's free!) and help advance your career - click on a track now to start!

The tracks are setup as follows:

SharePoint for Developers - Part 1
SharePoint for Developers - Part 2
Visual Studio 2008
For the VS 2002/2003 Developer: Learn VS 2005
For the VB 6.0 Developer: Learn VB 2005
For the Java Developer: Learn .NET
Developer Basics

In several of the tracks, when you sign up, you can pick whether to concentrate on Visual Basic .Net or Visual C# (csharp).

Also there are graduation awards when you successfully complete the courses. At the time I wrote this, the Ramp Up Graduation Award includes:

25% off exam plus one free retake if you don't pass the first time for Exam 70-536 only: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework Application Development Foundation, the first of the MCTS Certification exams

50% off on select E-Learning collections: Collection 5160: Core Development with the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Foundation AND Collection 5161: Advanced Development with the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Foundation

30% off on MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-536): Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Application Development Foundation

If this looks interesting, then head over to the MSDN Ramp Up site.
