Business / 5 Reasons Why You Need A Work-at-home Schedule by domaincash(m): 6:25am On Mar 14, 2015
One of the attractions of working at home is the vision of freedom it invokes -- no time clock, no time sheets, and no one to account to for how you spend your time. Yes, it is an attractive proposition, but like so many attractive propositions there is a heavy downside -- you are likely wasting a lot of time.

++My husband spends time every day filling out these large spreadsheets to account for his day. He works for a large engineering company and his day often encompasses work on a variety of projects for different clients. He loathes the activity and I have always dismissed it as a waste of time -- that is until my home business recently took off and I realized there simply weren’t enough hours in the day to accomplish all my goals.

++I now have my own spread sheet and agenda for the day and I have improved my productivity and reduced my stress immeasurably. If you don't think you need a schedule for your home business then think again -- and read on.

++After a spate of relatively unproductive days when my "To Do" list seemed to grow exponentially every time I looked at it I knew something had to change.++Granted I was going through a rough patch. My home business was experiencing growing pains and taking up more than the usual time, my four-year-old was only in preschool part-time, my husband wasn't pulling his weight on the home front, and my extended family was experiencing a number of crises. But I'm also old enough to know there is never a perfect time in life -- you just live the one you've got. These are simply the problems I'm dealing with this year. Next year these problems will be traded in for new fresh ones.

++After studying my time and chatting with some other work-at-home folks, I discovered five reasons to embrace the schedule:

++1. It's too easy to waste time doing non priority tasks

+2. It's too easy to get sidetracked or distracted from your current task

+3. Unscheduled work time can often overlap into your free time until you don't have any free time at all

+4. Your free time can overlap into your work time until you fall behind with important projects

+5. Concentrating your time and effort on highest priority projects means more gets done

++I'm not the only work at home business person encompassing the schedule. I recently took part in an online forum where men and women had moved to embrace it -- and found it more freeing than restrictive. After all, you are still the one setting the schedule so you are free to schedule yourself off for a 3-hour lunch, an afternoon, or a whole day whenever you choose.

++If you find it difficult setting up your schedule and priorities for the day and week then perhaps your significant other or a friend can help you set your schedule. For more visits http://www.eventssms.com/giveaway.htm

Business / Using Mobile Marketing To Boost Your Home Based Business by domaincash(m): 2:09pm On Mar 13, 2015
Mobile marketing can be classified into two types based on the technology involved. The more traditional form involves marketing on the move like moving billboards and road shows. The second type refers to marketing on a mobile phone like cell phone. Since the onset of millennium, mobile marketing though cell phone has become very popular. Short message service popularly known as SMS has made marketing by this method a lot easier.

There were some problems in the beginning as unwanted information was being sent to the people. Most of the SMS that were passed around was spam and it received negative media response in all parts of the world. This was because a sector of the advertisers bought list of mobile users and began sending them unsolicited messages. They were later stopped due to strict security measures and laws passed. Marketing industry recognized the potential of mobile marketing and utilized it to the full extent. The mobile service providers coded guidelines and laws. It then became a legal advertising channel. The Mobile Marketing Association and Interactive Advertising Bureau also have laid down guidelines for the proper functioning of mobile marketing. For proper way of mobile marketing visit[/http://eventssms.com/index.php/gsm-database]

Mobile marketing has become popular in Asia and Europe as it is a novel idea and in Europe alone hundreds of millions of pounds have been investing in SMS advertising. Now SMS has become the most famous part of mobile marketing. Because of the popularity of short codes, SMSing has become a lot easier. This has created a new approach to reach out to potential customers. Now mobile short codes are looked upon as mobile domain name, by many of the brands around the world, when the customers message the brand at any occasion.

In America, the first SMS short code campaign was started in 2002. SMS containing short codes are easier to send a message with complete information. Short codes are usually numbers that are assigned to mobile operators of a particular location, which they use for brand campaigning and other purposes. They are very small, like they contain only four to five words. These numbers are always under scrutiny by the service provider and each and every message is monitored to see that they do not go against the original service description.

Like opt-in emails, customers have to opt for SMSes. This is the biggest criterion, which the advertiser has to follow in order to send a promotional SMS. Some of the mobile operators ask for double opt-in form from the receiver. At the same time opting out is made easy for the customer. When the customer wishes to terminate receiving messages, they have to send STOP word by SMS. All these guidelines have been laid by the Mobile Marketing Association consumer best practice guidelines and it's a compulsion to follow those by all the marketers who wish to do mobile marketing in America.

Now, service providers have started to provide the option of sending SMS to email addresses. Other than this, other services provided are mobile games, mobile tones etc., which are used for promotional purposes. This has lead to the invention of MMS or Multi-media Message Service, through which short promotional videos and animations can be send. Bluetooth is another good technology. It started in 2003, and many companies in Europe have found it useful. When a message is send via Bluetooth, the receiver should accept request from the sender. So, sending messages by this method is legitimate. The message transfer speed is high and is also a free service as it is a radio-based technology.

The method of sending SMS advertisement to mobile phone users based on their geographical location is known as Location based service. The customer is tracked via a GPS chip which is built-in the phone. Radiolocation signals from the nearest cell phone towers are used for this purpose.

Mobile marketing follows a very safe marketing strategy, as it is customer opted. The short message sent through this method is known as mobile originated or MO message. If the advertisement is done through a call, the call is known as mobile terminated or MT message. As there is a phenomenal increase in the number of mobile phone users, this kind of marketing is a sure hit.

Business / 10 Home-based Business Ideas For Work At Home Moms by domaincash(m): 1:26pm On Mar 12, 2015
Work at home moms make up a significant portion of home-based business owners and work at home freelance professionals. While there are a lot of benefits that come with working at home, the appeal for mothers is often that they"ll be able to spend more time with their children. Keeping that in mind, here is a list of ten home-based business or freelance job ideas that will allow for a flexible schedule that can be worked around family time.

Number1: Freelance Writing
Work at home moms can find numerous opportunities for freelance writers, both online and off. Because writing can generally be done at any time, it would be ideal for work at home moms who might only have time to work during occasions where their children are in school or napping. A good resource for moms interested in finding freelance writing clients is www.WritersMarket.com.

Number2: Blogging
Similar to other writing fields, blogging can be done at almost any time of day. Most blog networks that hire freelancers have posting requirements on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule, but the time of day that you post is completely adaptable to your own schedule.

Number3: eBay
Starting an eBay business is a great option for work at home moms, because most products will sell on a 24-hour basis online without too much supervision. To make an eBay business even more ideal, drop shipping would remove the necessity of storing and managing inventory and making regular post office runs when you would rather spend time with your family.

Number4: Child Care
Work at home moms would be ideal for the child care field. If there's a need in your community, some options would be setting up a home-based day care center or even an after school program for older kids. Depending on where you live, you might need special certifications or licenses, but you would have the added perk of having other children around for your own to play with and socialize with.

Number5 and 6: Graphic or Web Design –
I combined these two together because they always go hand-in-hand. Most design work can be run as an online-only business, meaning you wouldn't always have to run out to a client's location for meetings. As long as you regularly answer your email throughout the day, you can concentrate your actual design work during quiet times when the kids are otherwise occupied, or even handle the design work during the evenings.

Number7: Tutoring or Lessons –
Having students come to your home for tutoring sessions with their schoolwork, or even music lessons, can be easily adapted to fit your family's typical schedule, such as your child's nap time, or on weekends when someone else might be around to look after your kids.

Number8: Arts and Crafts –
If you have any artistic ability, an arts or crafts-related business can be ideal for a work at home mom. You can design jewelry, paint, make candles, or just about any craft you can think of. There is definite potential as you can work on your craft during quiet times or in the evenings, and sell your crafts or art at shows on the weekends. Or, you can sell your products anytime with an online store that will work for you 24-7.

Number9: e-Consulting –
Similarly to how you can do design work almost entirely online, you can do the same for various forms of consulting if you have the proper training. For instance, you can consult on Web content, do marketing or SEO consulting for website owners, or adapt any kind of expertise into your very own e-consulting firm. Research – Individuals and companies in just about every field have a need for someone to conduct research for them. You can do anything from genealogy research to market research by conducting surveys right from the Web.

Number10: Selling Information – Information is still a hot commodity, and these days almost anyone can set up a website. If you create a basic site, you can sell anything from ebooks to podcasts to databases of industry contacts or job listings. The possibilities are endless.To continue [http://www.eventssms.com/giveaway.htm]click here[/http://www.eventssms.com/giveaway.htm]

Business / 2015 Top 10 Work At Home Opportunities by domaincash(m): 7:55am On Mar 12, 2015
As the 2015 starts I think it benefits us all to look back at what has transpired. It's been a great year!

This year more than any other I see so searches for the work at home jobs on the Internet. You see searches for phrases like best home job legitimate work at home, home job, from home job, and best 2015 work at home.

Many people have made a New Years resolution to create more income for their families, spend more time with their families and other New Years resolutions. If it's like mine, some will be fulfilled, some will not.

There are many programs that were very popular in 2015 that I think warrant serious consideration. As a web site owner I realized that there were several key areas that need to be considered before deciding the 2015 Top 10 programs types. Well, actually there are many criteria that come into play, but stepping back it boils down to two things. They are as follows:

* Research and find what appeared to be the best work at home jobs. * Monitor companies on a real time basis to ensure they stay consistent.

As web site owner it's easy to realize that you can do the upfront research, but it becomes harder to monitor many programs on a real time basis. After careful thought and I'm sure many others have realized as well, I turned to the frequent visitors of my web site to tell me what works for them. I also ask what types of programs they would like to see in the future. After all without happy customers you cannot have a viable web site. Here are the types of feedback I requested from visitors of my site when doing my research.

* Feedback on any programs they choose to join. This gives real time feedback on programs offered from the people that count. This helps ensure that a program offers the step-by-step guidance and support necessary for subscribers to succeed. * Suggestion on web page relevance and presentation to make it easier to understand and use. * Ease of use and customer support of any program they decide to use.

I decided to give more weight to the last few months of 2015 due the constant change of programs on the Internet. The program types listed are the programs that I found to give a person the best chance for success. They are further sorted by the popularity on my site from visitors over the year. Here are the 2015 Top 10 program types I found after researching my statistics for 2015:

1st Place - Most popular program was Rebate Processing
2nd Place - Data Entry
3rd Place - Data Entry
4th Place - Type At Home
5th Place - Online Jewelry Stores
6th Place - Online Dollar Stores
7th Place - Data Entry
8th Place – Surveys
9th Place - Data Entry
10th Place - Telephone Call Centers etc.

My suggestion when looking for work at home programs is that you use a website like mine that has done research. There are many good web sites available to help you, whether you use mine or not is up to you. Either way you need to use a good web site or be prepared to spend hours doing the research yourself. It can be done and you can be successful.

I found many more quality programs, but to be frank it was very easy to limit myself to the Top 10 2015 online programs. They stand out in comparison to all of the others.

So, what do you need to do next to get started? Do you research; narrow it down to a couple of programs. Join them and get started. The expense is minimal to get yourself up and running. I have found that many people will start more than one so they can find the program that fits their skill sets and comfort level. Later they will focus on the program they like the best. Please feel free to read both this article or one of my many others by visiting my link in the resource box below. I always enjoy getting emails pertaining to my articles or my site. Your feedback is important to me.

I hope you have found this article informative...To continue [http://www.eventssms.com/giveaway.htm]click here[/http://www.eventssms.com/giveaway.htm]

Business / How To Blend Your Strengths With Small Business Needs by domaincash(m): 5:33pm On Mar 09, 2015
If you are looking to start a small business of your own, there is a proven process that is necessary to start off with. Many creative people have great business ideas, but their approach to planning is ineffective and eventually flops. First and foremost, you have to find a market that is a good size. Now what does this mean exactly? Finding a niche market that is a reasonable size entails pinpointing one that is big enough to make a profit but small enough for the resources of a small business and one that does not compete with large corporations. Two main mistakes that entrepreneurs make in finding small markets are targeting a market that is too broad and targeting a niche that is already heavily exploited. What you decide to sell must connect product to target audience or you will not be successful. To start off with, choose your own unique area of expertise. What are you good at? What do you have experience in? Use your education, your skills and the people you know who could help you transform your idea into reality. If you have many areas of interest and are not sure which one would be the most profitable, a little more research will be needed. Consider how it will be possible to convert your education and skills into money-making opportunities. Research your surrounding marketplace to see what is needed in your area. Now if you are trying to find small markets online, be forewarned that this can be tedious and time-consuming. You will first have to think of a list of possible target audiences, then take your first idea and research an exhaustive list of keywords and keyword phrases that people in that target audience are using for information on their desired product. Next, one must research all keywords and phrases for relevancy and then study which keywords on your list might lead to other niches that will need future researching. Then, you need to compare all your keywords to web pages to evaluate the present competition. You will use all your information to narrow down your list to keywords and phrases that have the most online traffic and those that are the least exploited. If your small market does not appear to be profitable, you must start the entire research process over. If you do find one that seems to be a money maker, you then must focus on finding ideas to profit from...continue reading[http://www.eventssms.com/giveaway.htm]

Politics / Some Of The Unfulfilled Prophesies Of 2014 by domaincash(m): 11:48pm On Jan 18, 2015
At the twilight and dawn of every year, it has become customary for Nigerian clerics to reel out prophesies on what to expect in the New Year. While few of these predictions manifest, many of them fail to see the light of the day.
Predictions are, however, not limited to Christian clerics. Members of other faiths and beliefs are known to have made predictions not only in Nigeria but all over the world.
Notable in Nigeria in the last two decades of the last century were Prof. Godspower Oyewole, a metaphysician, and Prof. Sam Akpabot.
While Oyewole gazed into his crystal ball to give earth-shaking predictions on a wide array of subjects including politics, economy and environment, Akpabot limited himself to sports. He was called the Oracle of Nigerian sports. The two gentlemen are now deceased.
Like in the past years, some of the prophecies made in 2014 by some Nigerian seers did not come to pass, causing many Nigerians to take some of these prophesies with a pinch of salt.
Aregbesola will be abducted — Olabayo
The founder of the Evangelical Church of Yahweh, Theophilus Olabayo, predicted late 2013 that Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola risked being kidnapped in the New Year of 2014.
Olabayo, who prophesied in his 2014 Book of Predictions that a South-West governor would be kidnapped, told a national newspaper (not THE PUNCH) during an interview to expatiate on the predictions that the governor could also be killed.
He said, “Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State has to be watchful so that they will not kidnap and kill him in the New Year. He has to be very careful so that he can survive the year.” However, the governor was not killed in the year and no attempt to kidnap him was recorded.
2014, Nigeria’s year of economic boom — Olusegun
For Akiode Olusegun who is the General Overseer of the Ogun State-based Divine Ministries International, 2014 would be a year of economic surplus for Nigeria. He had specifically noted among other predictions that “2014 is a year of economic growth for Nigeria.’’ It was number 24 of the 33 predictions made by the pastor for the year.
Last year was, however, everything but financially buoyant for Nigeria. The decline in the price of crude oil affected the government to the extent that the Minister of Finance and the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, outlined government’s austerity measures aimed at cushioning the impact of the oil slump on the economy.
Olusegun further said in number 30 of the prediction outline that, “Some notable people will commit suicide by drinking poison to escape hammer from government.’’ Rather than this, Nigerians only witnessed a higher level of impunity from individuals in government circles.
Presidential ticket will split APC — Suleiman
Apostle Johnson Suleiman, who is the founder and Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, was also among the clerics who predicted major occurrences in 2014. He had said the contest for the presidential ticket to select the individual who would be the standard-bearer of the All Progressives Congress for next month’s election would split the party. However, the opposition political party managed the primary election so well that the eventual winner and former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, was congratulated by fellow opponents.
Buhari contested the primary election against Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha and the Publisher, Leadership Newspapers, Sam Nda-Isaiah.
Suleiman also said, “I saw a colonel in the military trying to stage a coup but he will fail.’’ Such a development did not happen in 2014.
Another prophecy of his that, “I see CBN printing high denomination naira notes this year,’’ also never materialised in 2014.
Chibok girls will return unhurt — T.B Joshua
Popular Pastor Temitope Joshua, the General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations with headquarters in Lagos is one cleric who regales his followers with predictions which they claim come to pass.
In a two-minute, 55 seconds video clip on tbjoshuawatch, TB Joshua, as he is popularly called, said, “Unless I’m not called by God, I place my career and calling on the line that these 200 schoolchildren and girls that were kidnapped have to be released immediately, unharmed and unhurt.” The video quoted Joshua as saying this on May 3, 2014.
More than seven months after, the girls have yet to be released. The few who reportedly escaped had told the world of the sufferings and assaults they underwent in the hands of Boko Haram insurgents.
‘Missing Malaysian plane ‘ll be found’
Joshua was also said to have declared to his congregation on March 15, 2014 that the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 would be found. In the same video clip, with “SCOAN Live Prophetic Service” on its scroll bar, Joshua said, “There is a big controversy going on in the world about the missing Malaysian plane. They don’t know where the plane is. I’m the only minister, if not only me, that God used to speak about this issue. But the whole thing is coming to an end. The whole thing has come to an end, in the sense that they would discover the plane, they would discover the particles, everything would end any moment from now. So, this coming week, we are not going to be talking about it again, rather the families concerned would know their fate.”
The Malaysian plane is yet to be found.
‘Write off Ebola Virus Disease’
In another video clip reportedly recorded in August 2014, the synagogue preacher declared that Ebola would be a ‘write-off’. He said, “People of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are released. The whole thing is (a) write-off. The life we have been living before now, we are back to that (sic).”
While Nigeria has since been declared Ebola-free, the dreaded disease has killed over 8,000 people and infected over 20,000 mainly in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. And it is still raging.
‘There will be terror attack in UK’
According to tbjoshuawatch, “On August 29, 2014, the UK’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre changed the UK threat level from international terrorism from substantial to severe. Two days later, Joshua predicted a terror attack in the UK sometime between the middle and end of September.”
No terror attack was launched on the UK in the said year.
Nigeria will do well in Brazil — Olubode
Prophet Michael Olubode of the Celestial Church of Christ is another seer who reels out predictions to Nigerians at the twilight of every year, giving them a glimpse into the coming year.
Writing on his website, Olubode said, “Nigeria will perform exceedingly well in this year’s World Cup but the Super Eagles will not win the cup. This is how the breakdown of how the game will look like: The Iranian team will either draw with Nigeria or place the Super Eagles in a qualifying state on the game to be played on June 16, 2014. Then, Nigeria will record impressive victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 21 and another victory against the Argentina team on June 25.”
The 2014 World Cup outing has been the worst for Nigeria. Nigeria crashed out after losing 0-2 to France in the second round. Although they played a goalless draw with Iran and won only one match, a 1-0 win against Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Eagles lost 3-2 to Argentina in the group stages.
‘Nigerian will win world class beauty peagent’
Olubode also said, “It has been revealed to me that in the latest news of BBC and CNN, Nigeria will once again be announced as the winner of one of the world class beauty contests this year. I advise stakeholders and lovers of Nigeria to pray well that this great expectation will come to pass. Many nations will envy and respect Nigeria for this.” This did not happen.
‘Buhari, Atiku will be abducted’
“I see Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice-President under Obasanjo, taken captive with the unfortunate politicians to suffer and possibly die over the coming crisis in the country. He will, however, be saved miraculously from the pangs of death and torture. The crisis will not spare the ex-head of State, Muhammadu Buhari. He will be taken with some Nigerian politicians this year at his residence while dinning and winning and enjoying himself with his guests,” Olubode also said.
This also did not come to pass. Neither Abubakar nor Buhari was attacked or kidnapped.
Similarly, Olubode said, a country that is least expected will win the World Cup.
This too did not come to pass as Germany who had earlier won the tournament three times lifted the coveted trophy for the fourth time in Brazil.
US will overrun Syria — Ayodele
Founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos, Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele is also renowned for his prophecies. He said about 2014:
“President Jonathan needs to be prayerful as there are plans by the international community to embarrass his government. America will take over Syria no matter what. The President of Syria may be killed if he is not careful, as many nations would rise against him. The Emir of Qatar will be troubled by reforms.”
Syria is still in the throes of a bloody civil war, while some parts of it have been overrun by the terrorist group, ISIS. The US has yet to take over the country. Also, the President of Syria is very much alive, while Qatar has remained trouble-free.
Akpabio will lose office — Ituen
Founder and Spiritual Leader of CDM-Christ Deliverance Ministries Inc. Lagos, Prophet Ekong Ituen prophesied that Akwa Ibom State would have a change of government in the outgone year.
He said, “Akwa Ibom State will soon have a change of government through the court of law as earlier predicted. I am urging the governor to put his office and documents in order in preparation for a new government. I advise the good people of my state to keep their faith alive and watch out God in action. It may take a little but I am confident because it is obvious in the spirit that your governor will not complete his tenure in office. Governor Godswill Akpabio should put his office and documents in order in preparation for a new governor.” This was never so. Up till now Akpabio still holds sway as the governor of the state.
Mr. Bola Ilori, a public commentator, told SUNDAY PUNCH that some clergy men often speak in parables.
He said, “There are some men of God who instead of being blunt couch their predictions in parables hence they are neither here nor there. Some people have, however, labelled these people as being smart in their predictions.
“One which came to mind is the one given by Oyewole before the 1983 general elections. He was asked who would become Nigeria’s next president. He told his interviewers that the name of the winner is in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. The supporters of Chief Obafemi Awolowo were quick to jump to conclusion that it was Awolowo, as his Christian name was Jeremiah. When the results were released, Shehu Shagari won. When accused of making a wrong prediction, Oyewole disagreed. He told them that the name Shamgar was in the Bible stating the book, chapter and verse.”
Ayodele, also explained that misconceptions occurred because of people’s poor knowledge about prophesy.
He said, “Nigerians don’t understand when a man of God speaks. We should not blame many men of God who said things in the past that did not come to pass. Everything is in the hands of God. He is the one who has the final say about everything that happens.”
Similarly, Olubode, while responding to one of the persons who faulted some of his prophecies posted online that, “I just want you to know that I am not a prophet appointed to compete for a medal. I am not also expected to deliver accurate prophecy all the time, but all these imperfection has (sic) not also disqualified me from being a prophet of God. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. Many are of the view that a prophet must be perfect in his vision all the time, this is not so.”
Speaking on the issue, Director of Studies, United Bible University, Lagos, Prof. Kunle Macaulay, described clergymen making predictions as uninformed. He added that the era of prophecy had long gone.
He said, “Our people do not know that the ministry of prophets has ended. We are now in the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The beginning of prophecy was when the elders of Israel demanded for a king to judge them (1 Samuel cool. Those who still prophesy do not have the required spiritual knowledge. The prophecies they are making will not come to pass once they are not from God.’’
Macaulay, who likened predictions to guesswork and psychology, noted that whatever did not emanate from God would not come to pass.

Business / 3 Tips To Assist You Do The Research To Write Your Ebook by domaincash(m): 3:50pm On Jan 12, 2015
Before you writing anything down preparation for your ebook, there is the need to do your research and make sure that the information you quote or the little bits from experts you provide are precise. Here are 3 tips to help you do the research and provide interesting accurate information.

Tip #1 Read Other Similar Ebooks and Books
This might seem evident, but too often it is ignored. Whatever topic you plan to write on, you should be able to find related ebooks and books. If you are not able to locate other material you should actually rethink whether that is a good topic to write on as it might be too restricted. When you are researching these books you can browse them – you don’t have to read the book in its total. You are just looking at it to get some extra ideas of what areas of your topic might work well in a book or even what areas of your topic have not been addressed. It’s a superb guide to help you establish what content you’ll put in your book.

Tip #2 Put Away Time for Your Research
One of the universal mistakes that writers make is to waste too much time in the research phase. It’s so easy to do.

I don’t think it will make any good to have a articulately written and beautifully designed e-cover to lay somewhere without anybody getting notice of it. How can they notice it if it was not properly marketed?
There are many of things you can do to assist in marketing your eBook, but right now we are going to take a look at 3 sure ways to promote your eBook.

The good news is that creation of your own eBook now with the modern technologies may become easier but the bad news is marketing it has never been harder. There is so much noise and confusion online that it is hard to get noticed among the contest and the whole thing else that is going on. Therefore, if you are through with writing your eBook celebrate and then get to work marketing it. These 3 sure ways will help a enormous deal!

Number 1 Create a Little Noise
You need to make some noise around the eBook you are bringing to market. You can do that through the social media. There is a vast social network out there. Learn how to put together your brand, fit into place your viewers by making use of Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Facebook etc efficiently. Promotion of your ebook is very important; therefore you should begin a few weeks prior to the finishing of your book. Let people know how it’s going, when they will be expecting your book to be on the market and where they can get it, etc. Be sure to be promoting your eBook 24/7.


Number 2 Get Some Pre Release Reviews
Reviews of your eBook are vital. Don’t wait until it’s on the market. Begin early. Release your book to a handful of blogs, magazines, etc. ask them to go through it and review it. You can do this through Net Galley while keeping your PDF file safe and secure, but accessible to the reviewers. Once your book is released persuade readers to leave reviews where ever possible – it might be on the site where you are selling your book or on the social media, it could be a blog – you get the idea.

Number 3 Make Sure You Have a Publication Date
Extremly too many authors, both of regular print books and eBooks use the day that they send the book live as their publication date. This can really make your launch exasperating. To give your book a much better start and a much better chance at being successful, your publication date should in fact be about 6 weeks after your book goes live. With these three sure ways, your ebook will go a long way.

Business / 3 Secrets You Need To Know As An Ebook Writer by domaincash(m): 1:40pm On Jan 07, 2015
It does not matter if you are writing your first or your one hundredth ebook you can as well benefit from these three tips. Let’s get ready to go.

Secret Number1: When You Edit Examine Widely
When you start to edit your ebook have a open mind not a narrow mind. If you are busy looking too narrowly you’ll catch the missing comma, but miss something really significant. Focus on macro detail not micro detail. When you put your mind on micro details you are likely going to neglect main issues within the book. For instance, you may be worried about slight grammatical errors when really you should be thinking about rearranging the content and moving the chapters around.

Prior to your editing, you should go through the entire ebook. The most excellent way to do this is actually on paper or in PDF format on your tablet. The objective here is to read it in a format that won’t be easy for you to make little changes. This will help you to center your mind on the ‘big picture.’ Any main changes you see needing to happen, you’ll have to make notes on and then go back after you have read it from cover to cover, and start to make those changes.

Secret Number2: Don’t Design Your Front Cover Yourself
It’s true – we do judge a book by its cover. It’s a colossal mistake trying to throw together a cover yourself unless you are well knowledgeable in graphic designs. If you don’t have the exact skills then your cover will not look professional, it will look amateur and this can defer the readers. If you can afford to hire a designer to professionally do so, please do. It is good investment of your money. If you just can’t afford to hire someone to keep your design simple so that there is less worry of the cover being seen as inferior.

Secret Number3: Remember to Link Back to Your Blog
Your readers’ first contact with you might be your ebook. For example, they bought your ebook on Amazon. Readers can easily not remember where they got a book they downloaded, especially if it was from a blog, that is why it is important to link your ebook back to your blog. This is a great way to augment subscriptions to your main email list, as well you can even create a separate list that will tell current ebook readers when your next book comes out and what it will be about. It’s easy to do – just insert a link at the back of your ebook. That’s it – takes only a minute or two to add.

Now that you have these three key tips maintain them in your mind when you are writing your ebook.

Affiliate marketing is the agreement between two people whereby one owns the product the other is the promoter of the product and the affiliate makes payment whenever there is sales from businessperson’s link.

The process is good for businessperson who did not want to go through the stress of creating a product whereas he wants to sell. So he grabs the opportunity of promoting a business without any cost and at the same time making sales and also increases the sales margin of the affiliate.


Normally, the businessperson receives payment according the agreement reached with the affiliate that is the product owner which can be in form of percentages or in fixed amount. The good thing about affiliate marketing is that it’s totally free to join.

To be an affiliate marketer, there are few steps you must follow in order to earn money on the internet and I have enumerated just three of them.

Number 1
Move with your passion: recognize the area you are passionate about and go for it so that you will not bored easily. The next thing to do is to make sure you are familiar with the area you have chosen for this will bring out the best and the expertise in you. You can as well do some research to learn more.

.
Another thing is to devise the means of driving traffic to your affiliate program. You can acquaint yourself through reading books and articles that will teach you some proven strategies on how to promote your affiliate links.

At the same time, I want you to know that there is no fast track to success, the business may appear very appealing because of the encouraging words from the owner. However, you still need to put in your excellent effort and the determination to succeed. You must keep your mind open to new ideas.
These are some of the reason why some affiliate marketers quit before time especially if the sales is not coming forth. And afterward you will hear them saying that affiliate marketing doesn’t work. It works only if you use the right techniques.

Business / 2 Hidden Secrets To Growing Your Facebook Fans And Likes by domaincash(m): 12:27pm On Jan 06, 2015
Getting more fans to like your page is not an easy task; in fact for some people it is an unsumantable job that needs more than just an ordinary effort. But the good news is that I will reveal the hidden secrets to growing your fanpage in just a moment from now. I will unleash two down to earth, most hidden secrets to getting more fans to like your page.
Number One Method: The use of contest.
This is one of the easiest methods but it works very fine, that is for growing your facebook fans with contests. This is the situation where a prize in form of bait is placed before the potential fans. Because of the lure of winning the prize many will come to click the like button and become your fans.
How To Get People To Enter The Like Contest
There are so many ways to go about this method but I am recommending the use of third party contest apps such as Wishpond, it has a very useful feature like the Like Gate designed not to disclose the liking page until after liking the facebook page.
The Like Gate is an image with text on it that tells visitors to like the page before they can enter the amazing contest. Immediately they liked your page, the app will load automatically the default contest page or the voting page where they can participate in the contest.
Number Two Method: The use of Gated Coupons.

If you have been online for some time now, you will agree with me that coupons are indispensible tools to getting traffic any where online, even if you are only giving visitors just that on your website. A coupon which is as little as 10 percent can go a long way in incenting your customers to purchase your product while you still maintains your profits. Therefore, you can maximize this opportunity by having your customers carry out some action before accessing the coupon but the action doesn’t need to be difficult or time consuming. You can tell them to like your page to get access to the coupons. Also there are some numbers of Coupon Apps you can make use of to create Facebook like Gate Coupon which has an in-built coupon codes. Any decent Coupon App makes it easier for you to build your own coupons right on facebook because with your coupons rightly on, Facebook makes it easier to share.
In order to maximize all your marketing gimmicks, don’t forget to include call to action with in all your facebook fan page marketing to ensure you grow your fans and likes the way you want. This is one of the mistakes most fanpage owners do that limit them from getting better results in their endeavor.
Business / 2 Guaranteed Ways To Maximize Your Adsense Earnings by domaincash(m): 12:17pm On Jan 06, 2015
Google adsense is one of the many ways bloggers can generate ‘free’ additional income in advertising. This is the reason why some of the webmasters go after high paying keywords in order to make more killing from adsense. For some, after adding up the high paying keywords the expected money is not forth coming.

So why is the money not coming in? There are some little things you need to do and I am going to reveal them.

Making all your pages rich in keyword is good but the main thing is driving traffic and most of the times this common factor is usually missing. In essence, what I am saying is that you must optimize your blog or site for easy navigation.

So, if I may ask you this simple question, how many people are visiting that your high paying keyword page? Then how much have you made with them? Is another question, when a visitor comes to a site, there is this tendency that he or she will click on the links that are interesting to him or her and when they make these moves of clicking some links here and there the clicking will give you some money and this is one of the ways of making more money with your adsense.


Most of the blogs have menu links on each page. The words on these links often times grab the visitor’s attention and make them to click on the link, for instance links like ‘free ‘or ‘download’ are good attention grabber that will make some dough for you.

There are some navigation logic you can apply to drive traffic to your pages, for instance there are some keywords that attracts lots of traffic but with low earning try and use those high traffic keyword that have low earnings to attract visitors and then navigate them to the pages with high earning keywords. If this is done cleverly it will turn some cheap click to real money.

For you to test this style there are two things you need to do;
The first one is to track and compare all your sites to know the one that have the most traffic, once this is done start with your most frequently visited sites to ensure fast result.

The second thing is to think of ways of getting visitors to view particular pages; you can come up with catchy graphics that will draw the attention of visitor to the link you want them to click. Just think of other things people want to see that will trigger their curiosity and apply them.

Another way is to create graphics that grab your readers’ attention and add it as a widget and place it by position the visitor looks at immediately they land on your page. The ideal position is the top left, just be creative because you are not limited to ideas; just do anything to achieve your goal. Adsense advertisers do not have any law governing publishers, as far as you did not contravene the search engine’s rule.

There is nothing wrong in visiting other blogs to see how they are going about in maximizing their adsense earnings and imitate them. You can google ‘hot page’ or ‘most read’ to see how they are doing it. You can also change the position of your links, like putting it at the top position today and changing it may be to the bottom some other times by this you get to know the position that gets you more clicks.

It all depends on testing and tracking until you find the one that works best for you.

If your email list has stopped increasing or is increasing so slow you think it’s stopped, you can add new subscribers every week with the right marketing approach.
