Can iWatch iPhone mini and iPhone 5S beat the competition?

noreply@blogger.com (Crazycool) — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:31:00 +0000

Three possible Apple products waiting to to be released to the market in year 2013 are iWatch (iOS powered watch), iPhone mini and iPhone 5S. At this point Apple is loosing its ground to it's competition. Will these products help them to recover?

Image from 9To5Mac

iWatch

There are rumors that Apple is working on a smart watch that can perform smartphone functions. However, this is not going to be a exciting news as there are similar products out their in the market that can link to your smart phone. According to walls street journal it can be a part of broader movement to essentially dissolve technology into the background.

iPhone Mini

Low cost iPhone is a good idea to target the larger potion of the mobile users who cannot afford expensive devices. However, the brand name Apple is exclusive. That is the main reason why most of us wanted to have a Apple device. According to a report released by Topeka Capital analyst Brian White iPhone mini will cost around $300. It will be in white and black colour and release early June.

iPhone 5S

Leaked iPhone 5S pictures suggest that it has smaller 1150 mAh battery SD card slot and has a different vibrating motor. If this is iPhone 5S, next generation iPhone then it seems like Apple is going back to their competitors level. SD card slots is something that Apple did not want to have in their devices.

Is this enough to beat the competition and satisfy the loyal Apple fans?

noreply@blogger.com (Crazycool) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 04:27:00 +0000

I was traveling and did not add roaming to my phone contract as it is waste of money. Then I was going to transfer money online and bank is sending the authentication to my mobile. Now there is no way to access new SMS from the bank. I was looking for the solution to syn my SMS to web application. I know there are million solutions out there to send text messages online. This is the closest solution I was able to find.

Mightytext able to syn your text messages from your Android phone with their web application. It also allow you to send text messages from the web application and they also get synced with your phone. It sounds promising but there is a small problem. When the phone is switch off or not connected to the network you cannot send SMS or it does not sync. Then how can you use Mightytext to send and receive SMS when you are traveling overseas. Simplest way to overcome this issue is to leave the phone on and connected to power
and leave it at home. Now you can access your new SMS and send messages. Also, make sure you sync all your contacts with another phone or use another Android phone for this task.

How to Setup Mightytext

Search Google Play Store for Mightytext
Install Mightytext Android application on your smartphone.
Authentication for the app will be based on your Google account.
It will provide a URL to access your messages online. Make sure you sign in to Google Account as well.

Now you can send receive and syn all the messages from website.

There is anther feature that allow you to make calls from website. But without your phone nearby I cannot see any point in this feature as you cannot take the phone call without a physical phone.

I found this application really useful and I would like to here your thought about this. If you know any other application that will do the same do not hesitate to leave a comment below.

[Facebook Hack] Two Facebook tricks that will get 1000 of new Facebook Likes

noreply@blogger.com (Crazycool) — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 16:28:00 +0000

You have create a facebook fanpage and now you nee followers. Then you need more and more followers. I am going to reveal some of the tricks I have used and manage to get more than thousand new Likes within a short period of time.

1. People who log in to their Facebook account regularly love to see interesting updates. It is always a good practice to post regularly. Normally when you post a post it will increase the number of people who reach your page and user engagement.

It is not easy to produce unique and interesting content regularly. You will required good team behind it. However, if this is your hobby or starting up your business it might not be practical to hire a group of people just to update your social media accounts. Why don't you use other related posts and news article from other blogs, forums and news sites. It will help you to keep on posting and keep your Facebook fan page interesting for the followers. Also, this trick will work on other social networks as well.

Scoop.it is one of my favorite tool that helps me to update my social networks easily and effectively.

2. Pictures are more attractive than bunch of text. Try to post images when possible. It is always more effective to upload single image with a small description and read more link than directly copy and paste a link. This way it will display a larger image than any other method and you have full control over text and the link. I am using this method and it brings me couple of Likes or more user engagement.

Relevant banner images with pretty models and infographics & data visualization are the most effective type of images you can use. People do not hesitate to Like or share these images

So, if you update your Facebook status with interesting posts and images regularly, you can easily get more and more fans to your Facebook page. Do not forget to include your own posts as well as others with relevant credit.

[Domain Name Hacks] Select Best Domain Name in 30 minutes

noreply@blogger.com (Crazycool) — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 02:37:00 +0000

Are you having difficulties to select the best domain name for your website or blog? Then you are reading the right post. I am going to help you how to find the best available domain for you. There is a great chance that it will help you to rank your website well in search engines. Eventually having a good domain name will help your business or blog to grow and make more money online. I have gone through this process over and over for my clients and noticed that it works well.

First you need to clearly understand the purpose of your website. Let me make it simple.

Are you going to develop a brand name and are you going to advertise in television, radio and other media to market your business? If the answer is yes then you need to find the short and sweet domain name that will exactly match your brand name. Do not worry about related keywords. Ultimately you want people to remember your brand name and search by it to find your business. If that is your goal then you must buy the exactly the same domain name to match your brand name.

Next scenario is to find a search engine friendly domain name. It is more suitable for a information oriented blog or forum where you expect people to find it through search engines. I will show you some hacks and tricks that can be used to find the best available keyword rich domain name.

Brain storm the keywords related to your niche.

Take a blank white paper and note down all the keywords that's coming to your mind. At this point it can be related to your niche or not; it does not matter. Don't forget to add keyword phrases Once you have a list of 15 to 20 keywords, go through it couple of times and select the most suitable keywords.

Example: I wanted to find a good domain name for a fitness blog. I have came up with the following keywords.

Workout
Routines
Workout Routines
healthy
gym
plan
exercise
fitness

2. Brain storm adjectives that can be used with above keywords.

Next step is to find some relevant adjectives. For example I have selected effective, good, ultimate free, best, celebrity and so on.

3. Combine one to two keywords from your list with a adjective

Now it is time to mix up your keywords and adjectives and create some combinations. Following are some keyword combination I have come up.

	workout	routines
effective	workout	routines*
best	workout	routines
practical	workout	routines
healthy	workout	routines
celebrity	workout	routines
push up	workout	routines
back	workout	routines
triceps	workout	routines
abs	workout	routines
weightlifting	workout	routines
athlete	workout	routines
shoulder	workout	routines
chest	workout	routines
ultimate	workout	routines
gym	workout	routines
saving	workout	routines

4. Check the monthly search volume for the keyword combinations
Once you find some interesting keywords combinations then it is time to find out how many people are searching the exact keyword combination. I always use Google Ad-words Keyword tool. However, you need to understand it is only give you an rough idea and numbers are not the exact numbers. Also, you need to be careful as some times it can mislead you.

This is a very good example for Google Keyword Tool can mislead you. If you search for keyword "makes to", it shows you more than 16 million people search for that keyword and competition is low. Once you search for makesto.com and it is available as well. If you roughly say out of total number of search 1% is going to visit your site then there will be 160 000 visitors per month. That is 5000 visitors per day. Unfortunately it is not true. If you select Match Types [Exact] it will have a different story. There is only 12 monthly searches for the keyword phrase 'makes to'. Specially when you search for keyword combinations make sure to use [Exact] to get the correct statistics. If you purchase these domain names you will noticed that it will be in first page of Google

5. Check the availability of the domain names

Once you figure out couple of keyword rich domain name for your niche next step is to check the availability. My favorite is Godaddy when it come to buy domain names. You can choose your favorite domain name provide for this. Once you have all the available domain names list choose the best one out of them. Following are the factors you should consider when selecting one domain name out of available list.

Length of the domain name - Shorter the better
No of monthly searches according to Google Adword Keyword Tool - Higher No of searched better
Easy to say Easy to remember

Once you select it purchase the domain name or domain name with the server. Most of the web server providers give free domain name with servers. If you do not have a web server account this will be the best option to go ahead.

In my case I choose effectiveworkoutroutines.com as the domain name. After couple of days it can be seen in the first page of Google for the keyword phrase "Effective Workout Routines".

If you have any questions or if you have already done it and enjoying the results please share it below.

Can we or people who already created such videos goes viral can repeat it. Lets find out.

Lets see what Psy who created video (Gangnam Style), says about his video and secret of making it go viral.More than 691 million hits to the date.

Did you find out the secret.

There is another song that went viral before Gangam Style. It is Why This Kolaveri Di by Dhanush. One of the most trending videos at that time.

Best part is most of people doesn't even understand the meaning of these songs. Then what makes them famous. Lets see what common in these videos.

These videos are funny.
They are different and unique.
Music can be easily remembered.
They are simple videos and simple music.
Video can be easily reproduced with different wording.
They kept on doing what they are good at and always did it 200%.

I am sure you have heard, figure out the above or read it somewhere else. Lets add some ugly facts of making a video that goes viral like Gangnam style. I know you will be not happy or may be disappointed with this. It is ok I am not planning to sell anything here.

They never planned the video to go viral or popular when they create it. They never had any intention to make them popular.
They you need luck -May be you might not agree with me but why only certain videos go viral and other don't. Also, they are failed to reproduce such videos. Something to think about.

Last two points are the one that out of your control. You must keep on doing what you are good at and what you believe in and if all the above factors are fulfilled then it will spread through like cancer.

You don't have to be really disappointed or worried about your luck. If you need to create a video that will get couple of millions hits there is a solution.

Crazzycool learn to create basic videos

noreply@blogger.com (Crazycool) — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 04:25:00 +0000

Creating a intro video can cost you lot and it is time consuming. Also, required special skill set. If you are smart enough you can create professional intro video without spending lot. Lets see a simple easy and fun way to create a video to your business, product or service. It is an effective way to get people attention, spread through social media. Believe me it is fun.

Yes, creating a video can be expensive. it can easily cost you couple of thousand dollars. However if you break the process into the following processors it might sounds simple and inexpensive. You can do it with couple of hundreds.

1. Video Script

Writing the video script can done by your self. If you are not a professional writer just like me, you can always get it done for a reasonable price.

Fiverr can be a good place to find your ideal script writer for five dollars. Oh you might end up using little bit extra.
Crowdcontent is another great place to get quality content for a reasonable price.

2. Presenter
Now who is going to present it. Can you do it or you are not comfortable in front of a camera just like me. Do not worry you can find someone who is willing to read your script in front of a camera send you the video.

Again Fiverr is the ideal place to find a presenter for your script. You can either select a male or female model, select the dress or even the background.

3. Create some still images

You can add couple of still images at the begging and end. You can start with your logo, business name and end with call of action. Always remember to create the still images same size as the video frame width and height. Right click on the video file and go to properties and then go to Details tab to find the frame dimensions.

Photoshop or image editing tool - You can use a photo editing tool and create couple of images. You can purchase some stock image for less than ten dollars or twenty dollars.
Even you can go back to fiverr and hire some one to create some images for you.

4. Intro and background music track

This is really optional but important to have a intro music or background music. Do you want to get a unique music just for your video? You can apply the same trick and get it done for five dollars. Also, there are sites where you can download loyalty free intro videos for your video.

Fiverr is a good place to find composers will to compose a small audio track for you.
You can download loyalty free audio from here:
http://www.accelerated-ideas.com/FreeMusicTracks/download-free-music-intro.aspx
Also you can find some music from Youtube.

5. Basic video editing tool

Now you have all the components required for the video. Now its time to combined all these stuff together and create final product. You need a video editing tool. I prefer Windows Movie Maker for this task. It is simple, easy to use and free.

Something basic I want to add here. Do not forget to create new folder for each video project and move all the files (videos, still images and background audio files) in to that folder before starting to edit it on Windows movie maker.

Also, make sure you same the movie maker project files in case you want to do any alterations later.

Select all the videos and still images and arrange it properly and add the background music. Result would be something like this. Enjoy.
