First of all I would like to give you some tips on how to find and choose post ideas for your blog.

Always have a notepad and a pen with you, in your bag, when you are out, or nearby your keyboard. Sometimes we came up with ideas, we cannot recover them later, if we don’t write them down. I use to read my past notes and for some of them I don’t even remember that I had such thoughts.

Improve your observation. If you look around you can find many things you can write about or give you an idea for your next post. Consider yourself as a journalist who has to write an article everyday in a newspaper and it will be a lot easier.

Get involved into conversations in the real life or on the internet. Talk with people, ask questions about what you are interested in, listen to their opinion, read what they have to say. That way you can discover what people are looking for and you may be expert to that.

Subscribe to and read newsletters of other interesting blogs. You’ll always find a nice idea.

Write about everything. I use to read that blogs and websites have to specialize into specific topics. If you manage to maintain several blogs do it, but, I believe, you don’t need to. All people have hobbies, interests and several activities in their lives and they are not looking for just one certain topic on the internet, but everything they need to buy, learn or entertain themselves. You can also consider that the traffic which is wanted the most on the internet, comes from the search engines, so if you have enough and valuable content for every topic you write about, you will get much more traffic. The key to that is to organize your posts into the right categories so that the reader can easily find what he is looking for.

Write down all these topics you know well and you can teach or present to other people and also these you are interested in to learn. Each time you learn something new, write about it.

And here starts my blog post ideas list:

Publish your view on the news. Write your thoughts on the economical crisis, the new president or, if you prefer, gossips about celebrities.

Share your experiences. Write about  a difficult situation you faced and how you overcome that. Other people may need the solution you gave to yourself.

Make a video series. Many people stand on camera and analyze their topic and internet loves videos. It’s more direct and many people watch it with more pleasure than reading a long post.

Write about a place you’ve visited. Almost everyone looks for information or other visitor’s opinion before they travel somewhere. Post pictures and videos you’ve made.

Make a tutorial. Maybe you are an expert user of a computer program or you like to make jewelry. Make a series of small and easy step by step tutorials. That way you won’t look for new ideas every day for a log time and give stable traffic.

Make a review. Write about another blog or website you’ve discovered, or make a review of the last album you’ve listen to or the book you’ve read.
If you are a good writer, write a novel. Publish oftently chapter to chapter your story and keep your readers in anxiety for the next.

Publish the biography of your “idol” and write why he or she is important to you.

Make a post commenting other blogger’s posts. Many people write long long comments under the articles of other blogs. You can make it an individual post for your own blog.

Publish your beloved videos or video clips. You can find hundrends on youtube and other relevant websites you can embed into your pages.
Write about a great event you’ve attended. It could be a concert, a party, o conference or a contest. If you have the right, publish videos and photos you’ve made.

This is a never ending list and I will refresh it oftently. You can add your own here…

CHOOSE THE RIGHT GOAL. It’s really important to find out what really likes you and then set your goal. It must suits yourself, be specific and feasible.
MAKE A CLEAR PICTURE OF YOUR GOAL. Close your eyes, imagine how would it be if you managed your dream to become true and feel the passion.
Write down a description of that and read it oftently.
Find pictures that show or remind you your goal and put it as a wallpaper on your screen, on the wall or wherever you can see it oftently.
That way you will get passionate, be self-confident, focused on your tries and won’t give up easily.
LEARN FROM THE EXPERTS. Find people who have already succeeded and do exactly what you dream to do. Find their biographies and discover the way they came to this. If it’s possible, meet them, make an interview, take advice and follow them to their activities. That way you will get more information, get organized and avoid possible mistakes they have already done. Remember: the student can become better than the teacher!
FIND THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT POSITION. Sometimes it’s important to know people who can provide you with information you need to know, like events, seminars or contests they may interest you. You may need material that only some people have it. Even an advice from a friend would be usefull.
MAKE A SCHEDULE. Using the information you’ve got, organize a schedule of your work and try to follow that. It should not be very tough. Give yourself some free time to brainstorm or for fun. Keep also some time free before the date you’ve decided or is set to be the end of the work to be done so that if something goes wrong or you came up with new idea, you have the time to change your programming.
THINK POSITIVE. Feel winner and present yourself so. Be self-confident and don’t leave anyone to disapoint you because there will always be pessimistic people.

I hope these words help you, as they keep helping me! I would really like to know what you think!

The same team will work for the represantation of Greece in Eurovison Song Contest 2009 in May, so I think that show will give us the first impression of what we’ll see on stage in Moscow.

Watch here a video of Sakis Rouvas, performing one of his latest hits “Ke se thelo” (”And I want you”):

Always and forever - Kostas Martakis

Secret combination - Kalomoira

Don’t forget to watch the videos we’ve made here, to meet the candidates better

Good luck to everyone and hope the best win!

I had decided not promote these two songs, before the official announcent, as we are missing the third one. But not only on the internet, but even most of the tv channels, play them all day, so I think this post won’t be a problem!

So, here are two videos, which were uploaded on YouTube, with the songs:

Kostas Martakis, “Always and forever”:

Kalomoira, “Secret combination”:

These are the two songs. The third one, “A chance to love”, by Chrispa, is said, by people who’ve already listened to it, that is really good and it won’t be a surprize, if it will be shosen at the end. So, let’s be patient to listen to all of them on Wednesday!

You can read also this article for more information at this subject.

I think, it’s really interesting to watch what will happen!

OGAE GREECE, the official fan club of Eurovision Song Contest in Greece, organized three nights, where all fans of the contest had the opportunity to meet correspondingly the three candidates of the national final. Of course, I was there to make videos and photos!So let’s meet them…

Kostas Martakis was the first one we met. He was so friendly and approachable. Watch the video:

Kalomoira was really sweat, chearful and liked to talk to everyone. She made many photos, signed autoptographs and gave intereviews.

Last but not least, Chrispa was very pleasant and help us with her fans, who are always by her side, to make our video!

So, good luck to everyone! We are awaiting tensely to listen to the songs!

All this time I have not made any post, I was not relaxing. On the contrary, I was working hard! I was reading a lot, basically technical stuff about websites and tried to improve my skills in programming languages, as I need to develope my websites on my own. Of course, I haven’t learned everything and I continue studying. I’ve just decided to organize my time and include in my schedule blog posts.

From now on, you’ll read often new posts, so keep in touch ;).
