Most Online Business Opportunities are SCAMS. Yes ,it is the truth despite all those so-called marketing gurus saying it isn't so. Have you notice every time an internet guru come up with a new turn-key money making opportunity, their opportunity only last for 12 to 18 months, or they might come up with a marketing program that is basically recycle information for a opportunity seeker to buy it.

Here is are some free tips for all those business opportunity seekers.

Is Fiverr A Five Dollar RipOff?

2013-01-19T08:57:00.002-08:00

I did a Fiverr review and I asked myself this question as I was searching through the fiverr directory and seeing all the services people are offering. Is fiverr a five dollar ripoff? My answer to my own question is a cautious, No. Why a cautious, "No," you might be asking? I'm unsure if Fiverr.com is monitoring some of the services people are selling. For example; I was searching in the Online Marketing category, I came across a few people selling cracked software and so-called SEO gurus selling backlinks that are equivalent to link farms that most search engines dislike. But on the other hand there are people who our offering legitimate services that are obviously not trying to con-you out of five bucks. In my opinion a good example of a legitimate service that's offered on fiverr.com is in the Graphic & Design category, people are offering the service to create custom logos.
My advice is if you going to pay for a service that someone on Fiverr.com is offering, do a little research before you give up your five dollars. Remember that old saying," If it seems to good to be true, it probably is."

Today, I was asked if I am ever tempted to use an autoblogging software to generate blog content automatically? I replied with a big fat" NO. " In my humble opinion, it's more fun writing or typing my own random blurbs for my personal blog than having some software do it for me.

Who's the better Captain Kirk?

2012-12-14T14:03:00.000-08:00

A few days ago Yahoo.com had a survey pole on its front page that asked: “Who's the better Captain Kirk, William Shatner or Chris Pine?” William Shatner overwhelming won with the most votes. I found Yahoo.com survey pole on this topic very amusing. I asked myself how could Yahoo.com compare the living legend William Shatner’s role as the iconic Captain Kirk to Chris Pine role as Captain Kirk? Laugh out loud; I’m such a nerd for even creating and asking myself a question about such a amusing topic. I found all the Star Trek T.V. shows and movies to be super fantastic.

I written anything since September. Now i think it's time to write another blog post. I bought a band t-shirt online of one my favorite punk band from the 1970's-1980's called Black Flag.

A Humorous Music Rant

2012-09-29T12:30:00.001-07:00

The other day I overheard this humorous rant at the grocery store from somebody wearing a Madonna t-shirt.

“Music sounds so bland and boring these days, and most of us true music lovers can tell it’s a manufactured sound created in bulk and distributed to the masses for the only obvious conclusion, it’s a desperate act for the sickly corporate music industry to gain a profit.”

I do find the rant to be valid, but I can’t take it seriously from a person to wearing a Madonna t-shirt. Lol, and now I sound weird and have no place to criticize a person wearing Madonna t-shirt ranting about the music industry. When I, a blogger posted a youtube video of Madonna’s music video” Give Me All Your Luvin” featuring M.I.A. Nicki Minaj.

Yesterday, I received this question,” how to improve your Alexa Ranking?” I replied back with an honest answer, “I don’t know.”

I don’t know much about SEO, Google Panda, or Google Penguin. And I must admit, I do use some small traffic methods like using TrafficSwarm.com and LinkReferral.com.

But mostly I just like writing about random stuff, and I do find it enjoyable when folks read my silly random blurbs and leave a comment.

Update on Maxvisits.com

2012-08-08T21:01:00.000-07:00

A couple days ago I posted a blog post on a discovery I found while searching the World Wide Web called Maxvisits.com, a place for website & blog owners to buy target web traffic at a low cost.

I will give an update at a later blog post if I received 5000 USA web visitors, and if it really works.
