iOS 4.1

Will fix bugs (YES!), Game Center (Can’t wait to see how this goes.), TV show rentals (no thanks!), HD video upload (ok.), HDR (nice). I can’t wait til the Dev-Team releases a jailbreak & unlock.

iPod Shuffle

It’s square and the buttons are back! Nice line of colors I wish they had for the iPod Touch. Costs $49 with 2 GB.

iPod Nano

It looks the same size as an iPod Shuffle except no buttons; It has a touchscreen! Basically is a mini iPod Touch.

Once again, they’ll come in a nice line of colors and will be priced $149 for 8 GB and $179 for 16 GB.

iPod Touch

This is the iPod Touch I’ve been dreaming about since the 1st gen was released (I still have the first-gen ). It’s got pretty much the same hardware as the iPhone 4. The A4 chip, retina display, and even FaceTime with the front camera! In a nutshell, it’s the iPhone without the phone. It comes in 8 GB for $229, 32GB for $299, and 64 GB for $399; no new line of colors, #FAIL

iTunes 10

It’s going to have Ping, a social network for music.

Apple TV

It seems they couldn’t get the name iTV. It’s smaller, more content for cheap, and the price was reduced to only $99.

That’s seems to be everything. If I missed anything, it didn’t catch my attention. These products will be released within the next four weeks. The product to be released next week is the iPod Touch, which is also the product that has caught most of my attention. I’ve been stuck with the first-gen Touch since it was first released and wished that it would someday have a camera included. Every time I purchase an Apple product I always purchase the version with the highest capacity because I am a media whore, which means for me the $400 iPod Touch is far from affordable. But where there’s a will, there’s a way right? I’m known for my persistence and will find a way to get one of these in my hands.

If you didn’t get to watch the event, you can watch it here.

Are you planning on purchasing any of these new products?

You’ll be amazed at how simple it is to setup and publish a squeeze page. Squeeze Plugin utilizes widgets to design a squeeze page. The widgets consists of elements that are used in a squeeze page such as video, form, submit button, disclaimer, and more.  All you have to do is drag and drop the selected widget at the desired area on the design board. How the widgets are arranged on the design board is exactly how they’ll appear on the page (I wish web-design was this simple). You can also edit the size of the widget with your mouse. The best part about the plugin is that it works with all WordPress themes!

I’ve tested and used Squeeze Plugin myself and it’s definitely simple to setup and use. Just upload it like any other plugin and you’re set. There are also some aspects of it that are too simple that it needs to be improved. The buttons widget doesn’t utilize a button or image at all, just a text link.  The testimonial widget basically wraps your text with quotation marks and nothing more. The image widget should have the option to use an image from an external site and images that are already uploaded. I’ve also had trouble with the widget placements on the design board. I used a page with no sidebar but it seems that the widgets fail to utilize the free space. Also, some widgets would appear on the opposite side of the page rather than at its intended placement. Those are the only problems I’ve experienced so far. I’m sure these issues will be addressed and fixed since the current version of Squeeze Plugin is 1.0

The cost of Squeeze Plugin is only $97 considering the fact that a squeeze page made by a designer can cost up to $100. You can use Squeeze Plugin and an unlimited number of blogs and create an unlimited number of squeeze pages. When you purchase the plugin, you’re covered with a 30 day money back guarantee just in case you find that the plugin isn’t for you. I highly recommend this plugin if you’re the type that has trouble with squeeze pages; $97 is a small cost for convenience.

Get it now and setup squeeze pages in minutes!

Squeeze Plugin in Action:

1. Ringtones

The reason being is that those people downloading games are younger people, from a younger crowd; 14-30 years old. And they are more tech savvy, they are into the text messaging, they’re into the hottest phones, and download new ringtones daily.  Another thing to understand is that, many of you guys could understand that many of you are parents so you pay for your children’s cell phone bill. So an extra $10.00 a month won’t hurt you and that’s what you gets paid as a marketer. So, a ringtones campaigns is pretty amazing, a single phone number submit and a pin submit, you can make anywhere from $15-$20 dollars. And with PPV Traffic you’re only paying $0.01-$0.03 cents per view to your sites. So actually think about that and how profitable this could be.

2. Diet/Nutrition

It’s a trillion dollar industry, as you know obese people are growing quickly, obesity in kids are growing quickly. People want to get in shape, they want to look good. Summer time’s coming around. Diet and nutrition is a very hot and profitable niches to really focus on and build your PPV campaigns. And also what’s amazing about diet and nutrition is, that there are trial offers that will pay anywhere from $3-4 dollars for a free trial of a product and you as a CPA affiliate you can make anywhere from $15-$30 dollars on a sale. Just for someone submitting a $4.00 free trial, shipping and handling. Your upfront commissions on the other hand will be $15-$30 dollars. That’s pretty amazing, and once again, going back to the PPV it’s only costing you $0.01 or $0.02 cents for this type of traffic. Very very affordable.

3. Work From Home

I cannot over emphasize how important work from home is, in the industry of advertising, reason being as you may know real estate, and financial markets, construction market, all types of jobs are being lost. So people have no work, so they’re relying on the internet, they are relying on business opportunities to sustain themselves and build equitable business for the future and their families. So work from home, once again, there’s one offer I wanted to share with you that’s very profitable called, Google Money Tree or Google Cash Profits. It only charges the person $1.95 for shipping and handling, 7 day trial, and you are making $35.00 a sale. Once again, going back to PPV, it’s only costing you anywhere from $0.01 – $0.04 cents for that traffic.

4. Email/Zip Submits

The last one has been very profitable for me, it’s email and zip submits. And many of you have noticed and once you learn more about CPA, email and zip submits are very, very profitable. Because you are only getting paid on the simplicity of someone just putting in their email or their zip codes to your offer. They don’t have to fill out credit cards they don’t have to fill out 20 different pages, it’s all based on that email & zip submit, which is very important and very profitable.

There you go, I hope you enjoyed my top 4 PPV niches that I make my money from!

The visual effects were stunning but were poorly integrated into 3D. The 3D effect had visuals look as if they were popping out of the screen but not upfront in your face, which was what I was expecting (the blue alien Avatar movie had amazing 3D). I hold my expectations high and will hope they fix this and probably end up showing the next movie on IMAX.

Are you a fan of Dragonball? Did you see the horrible adaptation they did? The movie was absolutely repulsive. A decent job was done with The Last Airbender. The movie followed the general storyline but it was the small changes that ticked me off. Incorrect name pronunciations anyone? Don’t get me started.

M. Night Shyamalan really messed up (WARNING: I will use vulgar language if he messes up the sequel). The racial display in the movie was surprising. If you don’t know, in the world of The Last Airbender there are four nations each of a different element, air, water, fire, and earth. In the movie, it was shocking to see that the Fire nation was composed of Indians (from India) when clearly in my opinion the Fire nation culture is similar to that of the Chinese. Earth nation people are Asian, well okay… Water nation, they got a 90 percent on this. Air nation, they seriously got this wrong.

SPOILER ALERT: Another thing that wasn’t on par was the climax of the movie. Aang, the Avatar, the Last Airbender, the main character, was supposed to create a wild water beast to send the Fire nation invaders into the next life. Instead we get a scene of Aang creating a huge wave a surfer would only dream of. Does he wash the Fire nation invaders into the next life? NO! The wave subsides back into the ocean and the bad guys retreat. What the fish was that? Enough said.

I said in the beginning, from an unbiased viewpoint the movie is decent. In the eyes of a fan, absolute disappointment.  I felt compelled to write a post because I saw how big this movie was trending on twitter. Twilight: Eclipse was unheard of on twitter. There are some of you who will disagree with me; most likely you weren’t a fan of the series which means you don’t understand my rant. And if you are a fan and still disagree, you probably watched this movie while half asleep.

I pray that one of the producers has the opportunity to read this and will make a change for the better in the sequel. We need a new director. Leave Shyamalan to direct those movies that don’t make any sense.

On a side note, the million dollar question still remains. WHAT HAPPENED TO ZUKO’S MOM?

The Weapons of Marketing Blueprint

1. Leave Meaningful, Responsive, and Insightful Comments.

In a nutshell, don’t SPAM! You’ll do yourself more harm than good if you spam. When commenting you always want to attract the attention of other readers in a positive manner. We’ve either all seen or left a “thanks for this post” type comment. What you can do to make this more meaningful is to state which piece(s) of information helped you or found interesting. Be responsive and insightful by answering questions the author or other readers ask.

2. Comment and Comment Often.

Don’t just leave a comment and disappear forever. By leaving comments consistently and on a regular basis, you’ll establish yourself with other readers and commentators. You’ll stick out like a sore thumb and will be hard to ignore. People will start responding to your comments and you’ll notice an increase of activity on your own blog, guaranteed!

3. Be the First to Comment.

To help in you in your attempts to be the first to comment, you should subscribe to the blog’s RSS feed, follow the author(s) on Facebook & Twitter, and visit the blog often. You want to be the first to comment because most readers only look at the first few comments. If you see zero comments on a post, don’t just scroll down and quickly leave a comment. Be sure to always apply secret number one. If the post is lengthy, read the first sentence of each paragraph to get a good feel of what the post is about. Being the first to comment will give you huge exposure given that you’ve written something worth reading.

4. Be a Top Commentator.

Given you’ve followed all of the previous secrets; you’ll eventually reach Top Commentator stardom. That is only if the blog you’re commenting on uses the Top Commentator plugin, and you do want to comment on a blog that uses it. Why? Because you get additional traffic and exposure, plus you get link juice (that’s if the links are set to do-follow, which it is most of the time).

5. Comment on Popular Blogs with Large Readerships.

It’s pretty obvious that you don’t want to invest time commenting on an inactive blog. Find the top bloggers in your niche by searching on Google or by joining blog networks such as MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog. Once you’ve done that, start your comment spree! It’s all about the law of attraction. Associate yourself with those at the top and you’ll find yourself there too in no time!

If you follow my Secrets to Blog Commenting, I can guarantee you’ll see results. It’s all up to you on what you write on other people’s blogs, and whatever lies behind that link on your profile should exceed the quality of your comments. Get started commenting today!

Considering the iPhone 4′s new features, Apple took it to the next step.

• Flash for the camera? FINALLY! I was hoping that Apple would surpass that new droid phone that has an 8 megapixel camera but sadly the iPhone 4 will have a 5 megapixel cam, which isn’t bad at all.

• The two-cameras will make it easier for us to take conceited photos of ourselves put up on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc.

• FaceTime video chat is going be real interesting, haha. I wonder if they’ll integrate a community interface such as Stickam or Chatroulette .

• Retina Display? We’ll see how this looks when I get to see it for myself.

• Mulitasking is not new to me and I bet Apple will limit which apps can be run on multitask. I use Backgrounder a jailbreak app, and it works great. The only thing that would make it better is if my iPhone had more memory.

• HD Video Recording, nice, now I’ll probably be able to use it for video blogging especially with the new iMovie app which lets you edit your videos with more features.

• Folders for Apps (not new to me), and iBooks (I admit it’s kinda hard reading books on the iPhone) is also going to be included.

That’s a nice list of features. I really can’t wait until this gadget is in my hands, others could care less. I was hoping for a higher storage capacity and we’ll still be limited to 16 or 32 (this is not enough space for movies, music & other stuff). As usual, they’ve promised improved battery life. I’ve heard that the iPad battery was pretty good, maybe we can expect the same for the iPhone. I’d like to leave the floor open for discussion. Will you be getting the iPhone 4? What are your thoughts?

P.S. You see the the KISSinsights box that says “What other information would you like to see on this page?”. Please input here topics and suggestions I should write about for future posts. Thanks!

First, we’re hit with the usual “About the author”. I enjoyed this segment because John talks about his long-ago past when he was living China. Very inspirational, I haven’t heard this this story of John before. Next, is the common pep-talk, why you aren’t successful and how you should change your mindset to become successful. John presents very interesting points that should not be skipped. Now for the gold.

The Ultimate Blog Profit Model consists of:

1. Capturing leads coming to the blog
2. Building a relationship with the leads
3. Putting the leads through a sales funnel
4. Work out the average revenue per lead
5. Adding PPC advertising at a rate below the average revenue

Basically, I thought this eBook was mostly about list building through your blog, which is good because I decided to join Aweber (try it today for only $1).  I’ll definitely be implementing the techniques I’ve learned to build my list. I’ve made it a goal of mine to profit from my list on the first month so it can pay for itself.

Though this guide was really good, I couldn’t help but notice MANY misspellings. Here’s a list but I’m sure there are probably more:

1. pg. 3, “Table of Content” = Table of Contents
2. pg. 22, “You Email List Is Your Foundation” = Your Email List Is Your Foundation (same error is found in the Table of Contents)
3. pg. 41, “Why Your Blog Need a Mailing List” = Why Your Blog Needs a Mailing List; “To maximum the income…” = To maximize the income…
4. pg. 46, “…subscriber it sent to…” = …subscriber is sent to…; “…one in ten reader…” = …one in ten readers
5. pg. 54, “…for 12 week.” = …for 12 weeks.
6. pg. 57, “…you live the dream live.” = …you live the dream life.
7. pg. 59, “…no eclectic stove…” = …no electric stove…
8. pg. 60, “Start counting your blessing…” = Start counting your blessings…

With these misspellings, it gave me a feeling that this eBook was rushed (I’m open to being your proofreader, John ). Nevertheless, it’s an awesome guide. Though, I do not recommend it to those who are beginners. Get the basics down first before touching this! For those of you that are ready to take the next step,
