Fiverr - a genuine review

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 02:39:00 +0000

I recently started a Fiverr account as a seller and thought of doing a genuine review. Till now the experience was bit of a mix. So let's dive deeper.

What are the things I liked? Well, honestly I liked the idea of Freelancing since I myself is a freelancer. The things which makes Fiverr different from other similar platforms like Freelancer.com and Upwork.com is that, it's still a maturing platform and does not have much competitions except certain areas. One other thing that catched my eye was the seller levels. Other than the ratings buyers give, there are ways you can get badges like "Top Rated Seller". The also released a new feature called "Pro Verification" which is gaining much popularity lately.

Before you get too much excited about these, lets quickly take a peak at what I didn't like during the short tenure. Like any other platform, being a newbie it's extremely difficult to get you first few orders and thereby the reviews. Another thing I noticed is the strict "Terms of Conditions" that you are not supposed to exchange contact informations. That's right, no phone number, no email, no skype and if their AI detect that you are trying to exchange contacts, you will be suspended. However, they have a very nice chat system integrated into the system. Another thing that I'm not conviced is that they take a whooping 20% cut on your sales. One final thing to add is that I read so many compaints that the customer support is in favor of the buyers and not sellers. Many sellers have had very bad experience abusive buyers and yet the support team was buyer-sided itseems. I don't have any such personal experience though.

Alright, keeping aside the pros and cons, lets come to the point. Is a Fiverr profile worth it? My take is definetly an yes, provided you are genuine. I will be updating this page with more contents on how I managed to get 100s of sales in just 20 days. Stay tuned. Follow or subscribe in email to get these exclusive contents.

Samsung coming up with foldable smart phones in 2016

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Sun, 13 Dec 2015 19:16:00 +0000

Its been a while, smart phone lovers all over the world are waiting for something new in the smartphone technology. According to SamMobile, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has just published an application last week, which the tech Giant Samsung filed earlier this year. Samsung filed a similar patent application in South Korea in 2014, so it could be that the product will be released there first before it’s rolled out to other markets around the world.

The project is named Project Valley (or project V). The Project Valley phone will carry model number SM-G929F. The Galaxy S6 edge+ has model number SM-G928, and the very small change in the foldable device’s model number suggests it could have specifications similar to the S6 edge+, with the foldable display being the highlight. From the information what is available, it looks like Samsung has developed a new 'hinge system' for implementing a foldable display. It’s a rather basic approach that would see a display placed on a mesh-like material with the hinge then allowing the user to fold the display, making a V shape in the process of closing or opening it. Samsung has already proved that they are pioneers in dealing with curved edges by Samsung S6 Edge itself.

The details around the patent were released first by Sam Mobile, and according to them the release would be initially in the Markets of United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, South Korea, France, Poland, Ireland and Nordic countries. Clearly US market is not in their focus right now but they would focus on more markets later on. Below is an ad about the concept which Samsung released in 2014

Hack Tata Docomo Sim for high speed 3G internet at 2G cost (2012 February)

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 09:25:00 +0000

Tata Docomo leaves one more loophole unnoticed. Now you can browse internet at 3G speed in the cost of 2G pack itself. Follow the below steps carefully. It is so simple and easy. But you should first read it completely including the precautions I have mentioned below.

Recharge your mobile for the lowest 3G pack available at your place. In my area, it is at Rs.9 for 10Mb. According to regions it will change from Rs.9 to Rs.11 . To find what is the lowest pack in your region, dial *141# and select 3G internet.
Connect the internet using the access point named TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET. If you don't have the settings, sms INTERNET to 52270 and save the settings as default.
Using the default browser of your phone, just load your homepage; for instance www.google.com or something. You will see the page loading in 3G speed since it is connected to 3G or H tower.
Now the trick begins; With the internet connected, just dial *141# and select the 2G internet recharge packs. Select the most suited one for you. It ranges from Rs.5 (50Mb) to Rs 65 (2.5GB) or even above. Then your gprs plan get changed, but still will be connected to 3G tower itself..!
If you select Rs.5, then your gprs data remaining will be 50Mb. So, in total for 9+5= Rs.14, you get 50Mb 3G internet. Think if you recharge for Rs.65, then for 9+65= Rs.74, you will get 2.5Gb internet in 3G speed..!!

Now some of the precautions you should take:

Your account should have enough balance for the two recharges mentioned. For example, if you want 2.5Gb internet, you should have at least Rs.75 balance. If you want 50Mb, you should have a minimum balance of Rs.15.
If the connection gets cancelled due to any reasons, do not continue, since the tower might get exchanged.
Don't use this trick if you are travelling since the tower may get exchanged.

How to browse internet from computer using Samsung Android phones (Galaxy Series) as modem

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:01:00 +0000

I have seen in many blogs and forums where users asking about how to connect Samsung Android phones like Galaxy Y, Galaxy Pop, Galaxy Ace and so on. The problem is, the steps for this is explained nowhere in the manuals or websites. The CD that you get with the Galaxy series named Samsung Kies is of no use on this issue. Some websites are spreading the wrong news that you will need a software called Samsung PC Studio. PC Studio is a just like the PC Suite for Nokia phones and is actually developed by Nokia itself for Samsung. However, the truth is you don't need any softwares or third party connections to connect and browse through computer using Galaxy phones. Follow these simple steps:

Connect the Samsung Galaxy Series phone to the PC using the USB Connector you got with the phone.
In the phone, go to Settings>>Wireless and networks>>Mobile networks and tick and check-box "Use packet data". This will enable packet data connection on the phone.
Now in the phone itself, go to Settings>>Wireless and networks>>Tethering and portable hotspot and tick the check-box "USB tethering".
Thats it!! Just wait a few seconds for the Computer to get connected automatically. Enjoy..

Maximum amount that you get for an adsene click

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 09:13:00 +0000

The maximum amount that you can get for an adsense account is based on a number of factors, like the no.of visitors per month, percentage of visitor's who clicks your ad, the quality of ad etc. How ever you can make an estimate of the average amount you get for each click from the CPC data in your blogger account. CPC means Cost-per-Click. This actually depends on the ad. As you know the ads you get in adsense is from the Google's Adwords Campaigns. There is an option in Adwords to set the maximum amount for each day for an ad. It is a part of this amount, that Google pays to its Adsense publishers, for each click. You can find your earning for your current month using the following formula:

Earning per month = (No. of visitors per day) X 30 X CTR X CPC

where, CTR = Click-through-Rate(Percentage of total visitors clicking ads)

and CPC = Cost-per-Click( Revenue you get for each click)

So, in order to maximize your earnings, try increasing your CTR by placing the ads effectively. Ad placement is a very important tool to get more out of your adsense.

How to change your name on facebook

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 06:56:00 +0000

Changing of name in facebook is allowed only once, for an account. This chance is just to change your name if it was given wrong at the first time, or your name has changed after starting the account. Facebook has this restriction, in order to make sure that you give the right name. That is, it must adhere to the following authenticity standards:

Your full first and last name must be listed
Initials cannot stand in place of your full name.
Nicknames can be listed if they are a variation of your first or last name, but only in the format "First Name ‘Nickname’ Lastname."
Your name must be listed using characters from one language only.
Your name cannot consist of any titles, symbols, numbers, unusual capitalization, or punctuation.

To change your name, do the following:

1. Log into your Facebook account.

2. When logged in click on “Account>>Account Settings” from the menu.

3. Then, you will be directed to Settings Page. Click on edit button next to Name.

4. Change your name and Save Changes.

Changing your name takes about 24 hours for confirmation and they may or may not approve it.

Google back into social networking with GOOGLE PLUS

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 14:16:00 +0000

Google is going to make its re-entrance into social networking, with Google Plus (Google+ or gPlus). There is no doubt that, it will take over facebook very soon, as facebook took over mySpace. Google has already started its test run for a couple of weeks. Currently, they have launched a filed trial run on June 30th 2010, and are testing it with very few users, that they randomly selected. They sent invitations to the selected ones, and only those who have registered from these invitations can invite more users( the same kind of thing that they used at the launching of gmail.). Google has already launched +1 service a few months back. It is very similar to the like button of facebook. Webmasters can install the +1 on their website too. As google is the largest search engine, the marketing and advertising part is very simple and effective. They have advertised Google Buzz very effectively, simply by putting a small link on top of very pages of Google. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has also started an account in Google plus. "Why are people so surprised that I’d have a Google account?" Zuckerberg recently texted to tech blogger Robert Scoble. They have now redesigned their menu-bar into black colour, with a provision for getting the notification of Google Plus in every page.

Google once made a try into social networking using Orkut, which was a hype in India, Brazil etc., and not much famous in U.S. Actually, Orkut was not officially made by Google, but by an employee of Google named Orkut. Google bought it from him and integrated it with the Google accounts. It was bought by Google in 2004 and was upgraded and improved through out. But it slowly lost its market in 2010. The reason was that, it was very difficult for integrating to Google and at the same time to compete with facebook. Google Buzz was also not very successful. So, for the last one and a half years, a team lead by the Senior Vice-President of Google, Mr. Vic Gundotra, was researching and developing the brand new Google Plus.

+Circles: Google has actually mentioned by words, that the privacy control of updates in facebook is not at all efficient. gPlus enables a better privacy control called Cirlces. Unlike the friends list in facebook, we can divide the friends into circles, with different privacy settings. They say that, you can share different things with different people. Circles makes it easy to put your friends from Saturday night in one circle, your parents in another, and your boss in a circle by himself - just like real life.

+Hangouts: This is another major functionality they are going to offer. Hangouts is a video chatting service, which is not available in facebook. Though some applications of facebook provides video chatting service, they does not have it in-built. Google is famous for its gTalk, with video chatting service.

+Sparks: The Spark is similar to that of the sponsored ads from facebook. In facebook, they show some ads at the right side, based upon our interests. Similarly, based upon the interests we have set, they will show YouTube videos, blogs etc.in a window.

+Huddle: More than ten people can group text chat from their mobile phone using the service called Huddle. It is just similar to the free texting offered by BlackBerry phones.

If you want an invitation to google plus, give your google email ID, i will send you..don't wait till they end their field trial..

Attract more traffc to your website

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 14:44:00 +0000

   Most of us make a website dreaming tremendous traffic to our website. But we get upset on seeing the poor traffic. Ever wondered how these internet giants like Google, eBay, Wikipedia, Facebook etc. get this much traffic..? Well, you cannot say it is because of advertising, because we hardly see their ads..right?
   So, let us see the tactics they use to drive traffic. You also can follow these methods to get more traffic. Let me list them as points.

   Visitors like white background- Google, eBay, Wikipedia, Facebook etc.uses white backgrounds. All other colours will give a sudden negative effect in the visitor's mind. When I created my website first, I saw that most of the visitors stay for less than 10 seconds. ie., they just close the page simply when they see the colour of the website. So I researched on it. I find that users have a different approach to the background colours. The visitors interest for the famous colour combinations are as in the chart. It is clear that white background with black letters are attracts more visitors. But in some situations, you must adapt to some other colours. For example, if its a website exhibiting some digital art works or animations, then a black background with white letters is better. If it is a website about some ladies items, better you give a pink colour.

Home page should load in seconds- Your home page should not be over-facilitated with graphics, images or ads. Nobody will be patient to wait for a site taking so long to load. You can make the home page with a brief description and the major links only. Other bandwidth consuming graphics and images should be placed inside the sub pages. You can imagine of google and wikipedia. But if the website is designed for a specific product like for a mobile phone or a car, then it shall include high definition images and graphics. Think of the website of Nokia, Dell, BMW. In this case users will be specifically coming for this product and shall be patient enough to load the page.

Offer some free stuff- You can offer some free stuff for your visitors. The offer details and download link should be placed in the home page itself. You can offer some free ebooks or softwares or anything that is not much available in other sites. You can also place links to your website in the free stuff you are offering, so that others can also be directed to your site. One another thing is that, instead of straight away giving the download link, you can ask for their email address and mail the stuff. In this case you get their email addresses also, so that you can sent them newsletters about your site in the future.

Facebook advertising- You can start a fan page in facebook about your website, free of cost. Sent it to your friends and tell them to like it. This will give exposure your site to more people than you can imagine. Consider you have 500 friends and you sent your fan page link to them. If each of your 500 friends have 500 friends, then your page will be seen by 500 x 500= 250000. Then imagine the exposure your site will get when the friends of these 250000 people see that. Mm.. millions. Well if you have money, then you can try for the facebook sponsored ads. You get targeted visitors to your site. Facebook will automatically show your advertisement to people having specific interests, likes and geographic locations. The more you pay, the more traffic you get on this.

Link Partnership- You can find other websites similar to yours and contact their administrators. You can enter into an agreement so that their advertisement is placed on yours and your advertisement is placed on their. Doing so will result in traffic exchange so that you will get some redirected visitors from them. Instead of simply placing links, you can place banners to attract more visitors. You can design attractive banners using photoshop or flash. Click here to get your banners designed by professionals at very cheap rate.

Traffic from search engines- The best way to get traffic is not to go after them but to make them come for you. Search engines can do major role in this. You know that , if you want to buy a product, then you search it in a search engine like google. As you have the keyword ‘buy’, the search engine will immediately come up with eBay. Similarly, if you search persons name, then facebook will come first in the result. This is because, these websites have a high search engine ranking. You have to do Search Engine Optimization (SEO). But, hold on, please don't pay money to websites offering SEO services. You may see them promising 1000 vistors in one day or so. Wasting money in these type of websites is of NO USE. What they do is, simply load your website address into a program that will generate proxy IPs and browse automatically. You will see visitor statistics in your website, and does not know that these are only mere computer generated bots. Doing so will never increase your search engine ranking. You have to give your website link to many blogs and forums. Search engines will automatically get your website to higher rank, as more sites and blogs link to you. You must be patient enough, for the search engines to do that. Usually it takes months to get listed in Google.

Other ways- If you are so serious about your website, then you can design some posters and distribute somewhere. You can even design business cards with your website address. Click here if you want your posters and business cards designed by professionals at a cheap rate. You may also advertise in news papers

Create a Professional Website for free

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 12:04:00 +0000

Ever tried to make a website and failed..? Then no more worries. Let me introduce some of the most efficient methods to do that. That is to use a free domain name and free hosting space. Before coming to this blog, you might have searched the internet and got a dozen of free website hosters. But the main problems with these are:

You cannot get a custom website address like www.your-name.com, rather you get an address something like www.their-website-address.your-name.com. ie., you get only a subname.
Your website will be populated with their advertisements and promotional links.
Your website bandwidth, storage space et.c will be very limited.
Google adsense account will never be issued to such websites appearing to be subpages.
You should have a thorough background of html coding, database management etc.

Well the above problems will never allow you to be successful. A website without a proper domain name will not attract traffic, will appear insecure to the visitors, will never come in search engine rankings and so on..

Now let us see how to tackle these problems. There are two free website hosters, which have very close facilities of a paid website hosters. These are 110mb.com and webs.com. Both have very efficient website builder tools and very short domain name. But hold on, let me suggest something. I would prefer webs.com due to the following reasons:

Webs have smaller ads than 110mb. You can remove that ad also, by a simple trick. I will explain it at the last.
The website builder tool of Webs is better than 110mb.
Search engine optimization and marketing are also easier in Webs than 110mb.
Managing the website is very easier in Webs.
You can upgrade your account without paying money, but by completing some offers like survey.

You can register for Webs.com. You get a domain name as www.your-name.webs.com. You can also register at www.co.cc or www.dot.tk, and get your domain name shortened as www.your-name.co.cc or www.your-name.tk respectively.

You can browse through a hundreds of themes and add many add-ons to you site such as blog, shopping cart, membership login, form submissions, google adsense, etc. You can also track the visitor's logs, location, time spent etc.

At last, if you want to remove those small ads appearing then you can got to site-setings>>downgrade. It will convert you site into html code. Then you can delete the part of the code for advertisements. But once you downgrade it, you can never upgrade it and can never use the site-builder tools thereafter. So, do it only if you are an expert in html coding.

After you do this, you can complete the free and easy offers they provide. Those includes surveying, registering to some website etc., for which you earn credits. You can use these credits to buy proffessional domain names such as .com, .net etc

How to get Adsense account in one day

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Thu, 26 May 2011 14:30:00 +0000

Usually to get an Adsense account, you first go to www.Adsense.com. Then register for an account giving details about your website in which you are going to place the ads. The website you are registering must be older than three months. Then it takes 2-3 buisiness days to review your application. Getting an Adsense account approved from google is very difficult now-a-days. Mostly they disapprove your application for some reason or the other. Even a Blogger account holder usually doesnot get it easily. And it takes more than one year to get approved usually. So here is an easy way to get Adsenese account easily.

Go to the website Flixya.com. This is a website powered by Google Adsense.
Register for an account in this site.
After the successful registration, you need to upload images, videos, blogs etc. Other users in Flixya can view the contents uploaded by you.
Soon after you upload any ten items, the option monetize becomes enabled. When you click the button you are directed to create an Adsense account.
They give approval very fast. Very fast in the sense, in one or two days.
In the mean time, you shall upload more contents and browse through other’s contents.

In Flixya, try to add blogs which contains contents written by you, and not copied from others. Also, make sure the photos and videos you upload are not any family-photos or family-videos or similar items which others are less interested.
Once you get an Adsense account approved, you will get a publisher ID, which you can place in any other websites or blogs you want.

Loading an animated gif onto your wall in facebook

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Fri, 20 May 2011 06:51:00 +0000

First of all, facebook does not support animated gifs(moving pictures) as profile picture or in album. But there are some applications in facebook that provides this functionality. One such example is the 'Animated Picture'

http://apps.facebook.com/animated-picture

This application provides links to animated gif pictures. If you post this link in your wall, or your friend's wall, then you will see animated picture. But note that, you cannot download the animated gif and upload it again. In that case, only the first image of the gif sequence will appear.

How to fix error while uploading a file

noreply@blogger.com (melvin) — Thu, 19 May 2011 18:08:00 +0000

Many of us face the problem of error while uploading a file to the internet. Many of the resources in the internet says that it is happening because of the crashing of flash uploader of the browser. They show some steps to upload without using the flash uploader. But, I notice that many users face the same problem even though they doesn't use the flash uploader. So, I found a way to tackle off this problem.

The problem is actually due to the delay in uploading, either because of the modem or connection speed. In order to avoid this delay, we need to boost the uploading speed. This can be easily done using a torrent downloading/uploading software. If we set the software in the seeding mode, then the uploading will get boosted up. The step by step instruction to do this is as given below:

First download and install a torrent software. For example utorrent from www.utorrent.com. It is free..
Download some torrent file searching from google.
Set the upload limit of the torrent software to 5kb/s. In the case of utorrent, the option is at options>>prefferences>>bandwidth.
Upload the file you want now. It will easily get uploaded.
Exit utorrent
