Notice Of Copyright Infringement Spam

2012-01-27T18:34:00.000-08:00

A disturbing social media trend lately has been notice of copyright infringement spam. This happens when a seemingly reputable company makes a bogus copyright claim against a users 100% original content. This could be a bug, or there could be political and economic reasons behind the attack. For instance if a user is seen to be too successful people could pull strings to have this happen. Or perhaps the publishing companies created a robot spider that indiscriminately flags materials for copyright that are used open and fair. The said corporation benefits from legitimate claims while users may have their whole life uprooted from the claim.
The best solution to this that I can think of is:
1. Creating many accounts. This may seem like spam to some but in reality can be a way of protecting one's content. An example may include having a personal branded channel, and maybe ten other channels with different branding and function.
2. Become more proficient at other sites. This can allow a person to maintain their user base in case of a copyright attack.
3. Filling out a report naming the institutions that created the attack. This can allow the mother site to block their spam bots and eliminate the problem for thousands of people.
4. Using anonymous accounts. This eliminates the whole personal identity attacks. People are less likely to get mad at a sock puppet type of account.
5. Create forum posts documenting this. Doing a Google search I mostly came up with instances of people flagrantly abusing copyright laws rather than victims of this that only produce original content. It can be hard when a victim to step up and say something.

In conclusion do not loose sight of the goal which is to make some cash, build the empire, and just relax and enjoy any success that happens.

Youtube Partnership: How To Get Views

2012-01-03T08:55:00.000-08:00

YouTube for many people is a tough medium. Most users get tired of promoters pretty quick and many channels have gone to the wayside over the years. It seems like the YouTube ball game changes and evolves all of the time. For instance in 2007 the content and users that were the focus are now completely retired in many cases from the game. Other popular channels are now fairly obscure except for some die hard users that enjoy the underground scene. Other people have resurfaced because lets face it, making an online video is fun no matter what.

Once people get beyond the simple basics of YouTube they start to crave getting videos on the front page. They want the big attention.

Many blogs cover this topic. One such blog is How To Get Views.

Real World Education

2011-11-10T03:48:00.001-08:00

In the real world Experience is king. This is often work experience or life experience gained independently of any institution. Hard work is the only thing that truly is respected. Can you get things done, at work and in life, or do you struggle? Getting a life is the ability to survive in the real world. Usually when people get with the program and become relatively successful they will attract other people and situations that make their life better. On the surface this is how the laws of material attraction work. It is the difference between dreaming of a better car and making the money and owning that car or whatever.

It is important in the real world to be balanced so nothing, no person, or idea zaps our time. Life is short, hardly a moment, so our time is extremely important. Often people are living other peoples lives , or as slaves no matter how much they justify that. Can you just up and leave or have you created self inflicted chains of actions, ideas, routines that are getting you nowhere? All you really have is the moment, and this day. Remember that no one really cares if you are successful so just be yourself first and foremost.

Many people are often overly reliant on others. As a result they often spend a lot of money at school. They may stay at a job waiting for a break, or are always traveling to the end of every rainbow for a pot of gold. The real question is what can you do with your talents to make money now. How can you make your breaks with what you have and not what someone else has. How can you really get to where you need to go, and do what you have to do.

The term the real world often applies to a series of limitations and failures that a person experiences when they step it up and it seems like everyone and everything is against them. This is when their unobtainable dreams fall apart and they often do what they can. The real world causes college graduates to move back home to save money, or for married couples to take second jobs so their family has a little more money.

In the real world there is a pyramid of a capital based social status. There is a very real caste system whether people can admit to that or not. Often times choices on how we spend our time can impact where we fit into the scheme of things. For example if a student spends 4 years getting a liberal arts degree and can not get a job at the end, they may have to spend another 4 years doing something more reasonable that will make them money. This is a sad reality that most people who have any experience in the real world can attest to.

It is important that your mind and reality can mesh. Often people are distracted by entertainment and will not invest the time to gain skills to make money which will save them time and heartache down the line. Because in the real world unfortunately on a physical level capital equals more food, better shelter so how we deal with our life choices can ultimately affect how well we survive.

The real shift to succeeding in the real world is to be self reliant. To create one owns satisfaction. In the real world there is never vindication or success, there is just time. Do you feel satisfied with what you are doing? It is important to bring on new things and for example be just as excited about making some money in a business, getting a few hits on a website, having new experiences or making some new friends.

The people who do best in the real world can groove off of their own journey and appreciate themselves, their family and what they got. They are also able to grow through failure and gain perspective and as a result they evolve. Life is right here right now. Everything is equally important as it is equally irrelevant.

It just is.

And in the real world nothing is free.

How To Use The Internet For Recruitment

2011-10-23T19:38:00.000-07:00

Recruitment is typically a time consuming and unrewarding process. It is important to do your best to find the most competent people available. Generally people who work or in business a long time have a decent radar to detect probably better candidates. Picking up nonverbal communication is more important than what is said. Especially when asking critical questions. Does the speaker speed up or slow down. How do they conduct themselves in an interview. Make sure that who you hire makes you comfortable without trying to achieve those ends. Generally people are not worth hiring if they can their answers like it came out of a newspaper section about how to win the interview game. Rather people who are honest are often far better candidates than those that tell tall tales. On the Internet there are a few basic types of prospect employees that should be avoided or atleast exercise extreme caution with:

1. The marketer type. These push themselves too much. It is often an overcompensation. They forget that they are people first. Red flags of these people include a need to follow all of the so called rules that experts in the recruitment field wish to push.

2. The spammer. These types send out materials to many similar companies hoping to get lucky. Their lack of research on your field and accomplishments is generally apparent.

3. Entry level person. These green people often feel uncomfortable in the interview process.

Winning The Youtube Game Super Seo Secret

2011-10-17T00:43:00.000-07:00

My sincerest apologies to people who are very successful with YouTube, please keep doing what you do. Congratulations. To everyone else this is probably a very profound tactic that is not much talked about.

The first point that is always told in terms of YouTube success is video content. If your content is good you will win. This is not true. There are many amazing channels creating the best content with the newest equipment and get very few views. Why is this? The reason has to do with how google seo cataloging of videos is much different than one might think. A good example may be a simple google search of a video may face competition with video responses for instance and leave the original content down in the search results. Instead do google searches on the comments and you will see that the search engine catalogs comments in my opinion far better than any video. The moral is that if you are good at leaving comments, it may be wise to leave a couple of well placed comments that will drive social traffic both off the video and off the search engine. You will gain subscribers and much social cred since you are both a YouTube user and video contributor. People react to this in a big way. If you play your cards well you will see major favors in your future. Many people succeed because some other YouTube users prize their content, and social interaction.

(People look to forum comments for real information, not videos, blog posts, or anything else. This is an undisputed fact. What are the REAL people thinking. That is where the truth often lies.)

This three dimensional approach to YouTube is how the greats succeed a hundred percent of the time. Just do not leave a comment that you may regret later, like lets say a hundred years from now because YouTube comments are cyber tattoos and have your name written all over it. The feed catching sites will gladly hold your comment in the number 1 google search spot forever. Then there is nothing you can do. This post is just my opinion based on doing some research on YouTube comments. Thank you for reading and have a good day.

Why No One Is Talking About The 2011 Silver Crash

2011-10-04T23:05:00.000-07:00

The economic problems have in a large way shifted people's focus toward some kind of crisis both real and also largely imagined. That has been in the online world to precious metals, prepping and whatever else. Its all going to end tommorrow. When we get there things are basically the same. Just a tad inflation. The same routine. Get up, do this or that. Eat. Go to sleep. Travel. Socialize. Whatever. Many early adaptors have been in the game forever for the real merits of owning metal. Then when the fear market was in full swing from 08 to today the metals market went crazy. Paper traders loved the hype. They did what they do best which is make a money when the going is good. The margin requirements changed. The market quieted a bit.   Now we will see a return to normalcy and great buying opportunity. It is the long tail that has been hiding amist the parabolic trend busting bubble that will emerge. Or so I was told in a dream lol. Lets take a look more closely at what is happening to gold and silver...

-Google is flooded with silver futures articles that show parabolic charts where silver sky rockets making every kid on earth who owns a silver coin an instant zillionaire. Try finding any decent charts or expert commentary and the only stuff that exists is pro or anti silver. It is hard to just get some decent information, or a chart that can tell a story. This I believe is an information blind spot and a great potential internet market just as an aside.

- If silver returns to the 10 year fundamental chart before the line went crazy when derivatives started playing the game seriously silver would be a mere 10 dollars today. Think about that for a moment. Enjoy the crash because when people become disillusioned with a market TRUE opportunity arises for the shiny rock hounds !  After liquedation of paper assets, comes value in the physical market!   This is simple economics. Inflation is ongoing and the real reason that people are looking to dabble in alternative money. This is good. Its a good exercise in real economics and trading. This is healthy. People benefit from this. Metal is one real solution to one real problem. That is a one to one ratio. Basically problem solving improves thinking and soon the problem starts to become less of a problem. So metals are really a gateway to a deeper understanding of physical economics that is alien to people who are only familiar with digital currencies.

-It is ALL a cycle.

-History repeats itself again and again into infinite. That is why it is interesting to learn and study. The history books will tell us more than any person on the tv or the net. And they are free at the library, or online.

I have always been a believer that all things are good in moderation. Life is a mixture and not a one solution event. Breaking out of doing the same thing every day, thinking the same thing every day is worth more than all of the gold on earth!

Life is a huge picture.

- For example learning another language may be equal value to a pile of gold coins to the right person.

The open mind is what it is all about.

The world is infinite.

Wealth is infinite too.

It is in all things equally. Balance. Helps from falling. Center. Thinking. Living.

-Sea shells were once currency as well so maybe collect a few because one day they too will enter a bull market! In the future there will be a huge demand for seashell brokers! I just saw that in my crystal ball.

Find new things to learn every day. Do not get caught up in the nonesense. Focus on what you need for your own reality. You are your keeper.

-I look foreword to purchasing super cheap silver again. Its great for coin collecting!

-There is a lot of opportunity in the ashes of this hype cycle for every person who was scared off by the huge prices in the metals markets.

Peace, keep surfing the net for info,live life, always learn from it, keep stackin', keep collecting, keep learning, keep flying, keep livin' and keep it real!

Economically Impossible

2011-09-25T02:01:00.000-07:00

This world is really run by people's need to eat. The basic needs is what drives most online business into the ground. For example people blog or produce videos for free. That may be good and some people just make it. But for most people making money is extremely important in the long run. For example a business selling gold at below the market value will eventually experience the market forces that will bring its sales to the exact value.

This is a truth unless you want your site to be another one that litters the Internet from the so called digital gold rush. Lets look at a basic online business.

1. The loan process. Most people who are trying to make the next YouTube or EBay turn to their banking friends for some cash. Often lawyers and account types are brought in for idea protection. This all costs money but for the big idea, that people can really feel they just go all in. Some of the risk involves a potential dot com crash, or merely a fail in the business. As a result most companies are charging for a service or utilizing an aggressive ad campaign to pay for the high bandwidth costs that are associated with online business.

2. Assembling a venture team. Getting people together in a productive way is extremely difficult. Even more so is paying them. In these early stages these folks may get paid in partial ownership of the company. This can be extremely profitable considering the ability of digital media and content to divide and grow exponentially in its initial phases.

3. Down sizing when market saturation is reached. There comes a point when an idea reaches its peak. For instance the active users on socials sites after awhile increase at a decreasing rate. At this point improving the service is important. This is why many major websites are now receiving overhauls. Their company emerged for instance from the late 90s so many are hitting the same part of the cycle at the same time. Other older sites are beyond this stage and are really looking to remain relevant.

4. The end of the cycle. Sometimes a company or service becomes obsolete. Actually most ideas, and businesses reach this point. The old adage goes to enjoy the profits while they are there. For instance many sites that were huge in the 90s do not even exist today. Another good example is that I suspect record sales are down a bit. At some point just cashing out remaining infrastructure is important and moving foreword. Ethically a company could pay out their holders and call it a day.

Critical Thinking: Gold Versus A Digital Camera

2011-04-08T22:18:00.000-07:00

We live in a world where there are millions of sales people selling us on the quick fix. Everyone has paid too much for stuff that we do not need and these things are just cast aside as we move foreword. We collect clothes, goals, memories, and move through life much like an actor moves about a stage. It is really hard to see it as that because often times insignificant problems seem so real. They often blind us from what is really important.

Most people, myself included do not give ideas and action as much value as something that someone else is telling us. This false merit derails most people from their goals, that are many times extremely simple. We are often forced to do things, or take on concerns that do not matter.

The economy, global events, and fear seem to dominate the media because most people who are not doing much tend to focus on negativity surrounding these things. There is no money in uplifting people is probably the motto of the ad agencies that shape public perception. I was recently thinking about the gold hype. Honestly I could care less if gold crashes or goes to the moon. That really is not that important. But for hypothetical reasons lets say a person buys a digital camera and invests time in the photography trade. They gain a residual income, a skill, build a network, etc they may very well be better off than a person who spends all of their money on precious metals hoping what everyone is saying is true. After all the net celebs telling them to buy gold were chanting the anthem behind an expensive digital camera, riding the wave of fear making money and in the end leaving their audience with the same emptiness that they started with. Life is what we make it. If we want to be a rich business person, investor, or simply live on a deserted island, what we choose to do with our limited time is more important than all of the gold and jewels in the world that most people slave for.

The truth is that everything is a 50/50 coin flip. We want to compartmentalize the world into black and white categories. Our time is more valuable than spending our lives on someone Else's trip. Camping out and hoping a bit of gold will make our lives better when its price supposedly will get out of hand. How many people does there need to be that will someday do what they want before people really revolutionize their lives and just go out and do it, and live it. The ego is really a waste of our energy, and hopefully we can all find the silver lining and some real truth. Passions and interests are not enough. Scratching the surface we often only find the knowledge that was intended for public consumption and not some serious gems of truth.
Hit the library and really research your goals, and find new ones. The web is great but books are extremely crucial to life. I am sure of that.

What are we doing now to move foreword? What are we doing now to better our life and make this world a better place?

The Middle Finger Project

2011-03-05T14:50:00.000-08:00

One thing that I have noticed with most people who write a best seller book, or have a high volume traffic blog or whatever is that they tend to be a step ahead of the average person. Many people may down play this statement and attribute success to luck or whatever. But in reality there is generally something more whether that be knowlege or someone just not afraid to speak their mind. Whatever be the case most things in life there is a formula. For example if one wants to be a pro musician it may help to learn scales, chords, read music and whatever. One site that seems to have these building blocks firmly in place is The Middle Finger Project. Most people would have a hard time even getting that title to work, but that is precisely how this site runs. The pillar of it seems to be the truth which is a decent line of attact in the social media market where smoke and mirrors do not do well when communication is the real currency. Check it out.

How To Start A Business Without Money: Start A Business With Your Talent

2011-03-03T06:23:00.000-08:00

There are countless articles on the web about businesses that were started with zero money. Unfortunately the only business that was created was being a pro writer, actor, web personality or whatever which is really not a true business. It is true that many times web personalities cross over into the world of business, writers do often start their own publishing companies or whatever but for the most part these get rich quick scam articles and sites do nothing more than promote their products which do not work. Business differs from making money in the fact that business requires physical capital like money in the form of a loan, bank transfer or whatever that builds a physical infrastructure entity like a restaurant. For this hypothetical business one must buy the property, build the building unless it comes on site, create the brand slash vibe and have a great website that uses up to date design techniques created by a professional. All of these things cost money but are worth the money because when solid products are compiled to create the overall business like your future restaurant chain the overhead of lets say a million bucks is absolutely worth it. After all it is better to take out loans on something that will make money, than do it for junk like a nice car or cool clothes all of which in a years time will be worth nothing. A business on the other hand brings in money, and real experience that can not be learned in school and is a much better use of time than just existing trying to make a buck on some no money down get rich quick scam. Of course all of these gurus happened to be million air yuppies that can help you too. The truth is if they have to prove that they are loaded than they have no money, that is a simple law of the universe. In these times if people get real and begin a brick and mortar business they will see results. If they follow all of the idiots in cheap suits and dumb slogans one may go a whole lifetime and not see true success. Today is your day to embrace if the world of business is right for you. If not than look to get a solid job that will put bread on the table. At the end of the day our choices do not really matter but rather are we satisfied with our life. For people who think a business is everything they want than have at it, if not than no one will judge you so do not let the fake people out there get in your head. It is all an illusion.

How To Make Money Without A Job

2011-03-02T13:27:00.000-08:00

The biggest mistake in life is to cling to any one thing and expect results beyond the norm. The best analogy is someone who plays the lottery every day and looses, yet still expects to win. In our lives our time is finite, our resources are limited, and our chances are few. It is important to pave our own reality. Often we want something because people tell us, the TV set tells us, and soon we believe to be reality. This is how many people become overly dependent on jobs, titles, petty power or what have you. Just throw on a cheap suite, pretend to have money and everything will be OK. In reality we are all 100 percent unique. We should embrace our potential and not think in terms of numbers or pleasing others. If we build character in our life and learn from our mistakes we can often deduct a life way that is more successful. Whether we are taking out that loan to open a restaurant, or quit our job to travel the world the outcome matters little. It is important to face our reality and adjust accordingly. Most people who want a job really want the life change from the hypothetical success of having a career. I suspect the hard work nulls any feeling of success. What is a gold watch worth when we have to work hard for it? The key is obviously avoiding struggle. These conflicts can happen in our mind, in reality and often tie us up for life. To that effect we are controlled by money. Than there are those that run and hide in physical gold and bunkers. The reality is that balance is more important than any one path. If we do something and quit it is better than doing it for 20 years than wanting that time back. That is how it works.

Website Layout

2011-02-28T08:54:00.000-08:00

When we think of a website the most important thing is how it looks in a search engine. This starts with words, sentences, and phrases that will both catch the eye and satisfy some need of the person searching on the web. General words are never enough. Secondly eye catching graphics are equally important. Videos and photos channel people from the search engine onto the site. Thirdly the site must have a decent layout that people can easily access all of the materials. This is the crucial missing link that many people may need to take a second look at. And finally how is your content achieving your goals. Is it meaningful or just another site? That is about all I have to say.

Risks And Rewards Of Internet Business

2011-02-22T21:57:00.000-08:00

I was just reading articles about owning rental property and that business and I began thinking about how online business has risks and rewards as well. The biggest risk in online business is name destruction. Many people do stuff online and do not realize that the consequences can be some serious skeletons in the closet. In life it is beneficial to have as few of these as possible. The Internet tends to store data like that. On top of this the online world is basically designed for data mining. Governments and other people can take advantage of your efforts. Basically many businesses are like judo. Someone will lure us in to take advantage of the situation. This is life and a major risk. But like owning a commercial real estate property we online own our sites and ideas. These things can become toxic or a worth while investment of time for a modest to excellent cash flow. The choice is always up to us to decide are we wasting our time or not? That is the most important question in the world.

The Zillion Dollar Computer Repair

2011-02-22T14:18:00.000-08:00

It is important if one wants to sustain an online business to be pretty good with computers. I had a problem pretty recently with a laptop mouse pad freeze. It is tempting to throw in the towel and run and get a repair. Luckily I whipped out my Blackberry and came across a great article on the site Web Developers Notes about hitting the FN button and an F button. Pretty simple. The light over the touch pad lit up and I was back in business. Luckily the pad was not damaged from many drink spills like I thought when it froze. I am just throwing that out there because just a small amount of info more may help someone somewhere.

Help I Am Running Out Of Money

2011-02-22T00:14:00.000-08:00

We live in a crazy world right? Anyone who flips on the web can get their fill of fear 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This can paralyze people as they accept some kind of cyber collective conscienceness. Sometimes this is all right. Being prepared for whatever will happen in life is always better than not being prepared. But in reality fear is a complete waste of time. All of these people stocking up on their fear supplies will in the future be burned. I do not know exactly why. But you know...there is always more to life and the world than meets the eye. That is a simple law of the universe. No matter what happens in the world the fear mongering vampires will always be barking to the same song. Sure the world is in decline. We all know this. But how can we first fix our own lives. We must first learn to fish ourselves before trying to save the world and teaching others to fish. If we do not work to our own solution we are effectively just creating more of the collective problem. It is important in this world to be self sufficient financially, what we do with our time, where we put our talents, etc. We are all unique. Never feel pressured to believe that this or that is just how the world works. People who feed us those ideas are similar to Internet trolls. Just ignore the pool of bad advice and strange vibes.

It is important to fill one's life with experience. One of these is just solving our problems. If we need more of anything, just figuring out how to get that. Another is just living life. Most people for instance would be inspired and do more with their life, if they visited places like the grand canyon rather than sitting in front of their computer and eating with their brain repetitive hypothetical garbage. Nature is simple. Free. And, never sells us a thing. It only gives great things like views, food and hope. It is important that we unplug from the matrix and when we are plugged to be efficient with our time. Truly feeding our minds with important stuff like Robert Kiyosaki's wisdom or hope from people like Joel Osteen.

Set skills and goals. If you want to make money some way surround yourself with people or ideas that work in that direction.

Get out and experience the world. There is no rule against making a real plan and doing it. Break the paralysis today is your day. Do something different. Break the rules. Take a trip. Actually value your time and your life and you will reap rewards.

Being unemployed is a blessing and a curse. The economic situation seems to put many people out on the streets who for a long time were employed. Now they have the time that we entrepreneurs cherish but they dread. People can waste their whole lives looking for work or they could do the smart thing and develop their skills so even if they do not have a job they can still make money. There are many people out there that do not have a boss but they get by. Some live off the land. Others own a business. Some are investors. Others are solo job warriors. We often think that corporations are the only way. If we try to strike out on our own we feel alone. This could not be farther from the truth but if we look to the pseudo communities around us where people are basically slaves to work, taxes, inflation and whatever else the world has given them many unemployed see no other path than education, and employment. These are not bad paths I guess if you are into that, but there are infinite other ways. For example a self sufficient person may pay taxes on a property by selling fire wood. They live cheap and survive, put food on the table, and whatever. The fact is we have these choices and freedoms at least in my country to choose a path. Most people do not know what to do with this freedom because they do not even realize that they have it. But we are free. The government obviously has a vested interest in keeping people under mind control but really could care less if you and me are free. We are just different my friends. That is why you came to read an online business blog because you wanted to learn something. At the end of the day no one really cares what we do even if they pretend to hate our psychological freedom. They do not understand this. We have choices. We can choose how we approach obstacles. The Internet is the best resource in the world that I know of. If one has a problem a good year of solid online research can always solve it in my experience. Everyone online knew of the economic clasp and they all found great solutions collectively. If people are not tuned into the positive and fixing wavelength often we attract where our sights go. If we look for a cure we will find it. For example Rami Nagel among many others bring to light semi lost information. Ideas never cure but help. Ideas create the road that lead to life changes, that lead to a better life. Suffering is a universal concept so I am not saying that reading some financial book will make one happy but info will always empower. Educated people are rare, but they are not lemmings. They do not fall for as many traps, and they are able to rationalize and learn from their mistakes. They do not just think more work, stress and effort is the solution to their problems. They try to fix them. If not they learn to live with them. See we are always trying our best but inspiration and knowledge are keys to open doors. Often depth of knowledge is everything. Honesty is everything. How honest we are with our selves dictates how truly successful we are in our lives. Goals are worthless. Success is worthless. Stability is worthless. It is all an illusion. The mind is more powerful when unlocked than anything. This is what all ancient books tell us. The same things. The sameness and oneness of everything. It is really crazy. If you need online resources just check out the tabs on this blog that is generally just a resource with very few articles if any. That was my plan just to amass ways to make money online. Because when I started nothing else mattered to me. I made some money, and you can too. It is really not very difficult. If I can get an AdSense or affiliate check, anyone can. But that is the end of my rant.

Some starting points to making some extra cash:

Are you interested in photography? Photography and Internet business are one in the same. Graphics and online media are everything. Imagine a world without flickr and YouTube and the zillions of people who 'made it' on those sites. I can't. Get some nice equipment and fill your mind with info from blogs like Photopreneur. I know that there is a lot of competition in the game but with the right knowledge and equipment and some big ideas you can make a living in photography. Many do who live all over the world.

I always try to find a new online advertising company out there. My latest find is Puxee. Tell me what you think. I usually use adsense but I am always looking for feedback on these links in online advertising and social media that I am always trying to dig up.

If you are on a different level where your business needs a legit ad agency wikipedia has a great list of them!

Wikipedia has beat me to the punch but still the best way to make money is in social networking. Check out wiki's great list of social sites. I can never hold a candle to those prose because it would be one person versus the world. But really that is what is so right with this world the amount of raw and valuable info at our fingers. Wow is all I can say.

If you do not know what web 2.0 is check this out.

If you are tired of hearing about Internet marketing but do not know specifics thumb through these wiki articles.

If you are trying to break into Internet business it may help to gloss over wiki's list of computer companies. Who knows right?

Finally I believe that random knowledge is often the best. I have open a book or happened upon a YouTube video that provided the right info as if some invisible hand is guiding me. This may not work for you but it can never hurt to try it right? For me I may just randomly click an article from a wikipedia list with my eye closed or open up a huge book like the bible and read whatever book that stands out to me. Just grab the nearest book and try this even if you have already read it. I also like to read the ending to great books like the Great Gatsby or the Catcher and the Rye or whatever because books and reading lead to wisdom which is everything. Our minds are computers in this reality Internet very similar to the computers that we access the Internet and start our business with. What we do with our time and resources is everything. If in doubt try learning something somehow. The mind is infinitely vast and powerful. I am not the only person who has said this or thought it. I am just repeating what many have said time and time again.

More Networking To Think About

2011-02-20T01:54:00.000-08:00

In the world of communication, active two (or more) way communication is best for business. The audience is no longer that but some kind of active partner. There are many services that help level communication through technology. One such service is Groupme where texting chat can be done in groups.

Own Your Own Ideas

2011-02-19T22:35:00.000-08:00

Ultimately owning your own content is an easy way to generate traffic and success in an online blog, video, social profile or what have you. It is easier to latch on to other peoples ideas. But one new idea repeated over and over again in different ways is far better than using someone Else's idea and improving on it. Sometimes we must hang on another person's franchise to learn the trade. In an Internet business it may help to write for a local blog as a guest before beginning your own site. Once the interest is discovered for example you may like to blog about UFOS or conspiracies. It is then important to build the brand. Upload comprehensive and original videos. Write extensive info about the videos as well. This video and commentary format is the future of media. People like to read and listen. Media is a game of the senses. If you have a UFO site have some real footage of alien space craft. Your info will generate interest. That is the development of a niche blog. Good content in an interesting niche always generates success. Now you will get to the point of getting 1,000 visitors a month. Using your intuition at this point it is important to decide whether to go on or quite and try something else. Life is too short to hang onto failure or something that you are just not that into. Many online success stories are from people who had been in blogs and social media a long time. They learn the ropes, and the game. They hone their interests and skills. Eventually they reach a critical point where they succeed. Getting there is not easy. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. The get rich quick thing is a good marketing ploy but has no basis in reality. The school of life and the world is our laboratory and do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Experience is the best teacher as cliche as that may sound. Be yourself. Follow what interests you. Your dreams and passions will become an amazing reality in the online world. No economy can hold you back. No trolls can hurt your feelings. When you do what you love. With your friends online and off. This is your year. Focus on the positives. What do you have? What do you want to learn? What skills can you master or get better at? Feel good about yourself and go for it today. Internet business is the right thing for you. The slow path to success is both the story of sound ethics and a deep vision. Dream huge. You are the next big thing.

The Mind Blowing Canadian Mint

2011-01-27T23:15:00.000-08:00

The great question when investing in gold and silver is what to get. I personally get things that catch my eye. The same things that I like now, collectors will like later. That is using intuition to find markets. For example I was surfing the Canadian Mint site, and the Silver Lunar Lotus series really blew my mind. The Canadian mint is known for producing some of the most beautiful precious metal objects in the world. I love their seasonal selection for gifts especially for myself and my collection. I especially love looking at interesting pieces, so I can add enjoyment to my life while protecting myself from the over printing of global currencies. Storing wealth can be a lot of fun.

Collecting Jewelry And Inflation

2011-01-27T22:50:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite things to collect is jewelry. Besides the health benefits of wearing precious metals, jewelry can also be sold at spot values. Often a fine ring for example can hold a considerable amount of value. For example if a person needs 10 thousand dollars for something they can sell the ring. In the mean time they can look great in their gold or platinum body ornaments. I am personally a huge fan of southwestern artist jewelry especially the silver pieces because of their beauty and colorful earthy stones that often come with them. Jewelry is a fun way of dealing with inflation while having a great conversation piece at dinner parties and gatherings.

The Business Of Coin Collecting

2011-01-27T22:37:00.000-08:00

There is a huge market for coins. From rare old coins, to new coins collectors desire certain coins for a variety of reasons. Coins are also collected for their bullion value. For example I could buy the 24K American buffalo coin from the US Mint. The coin may go up in value because of its rarity, date, minting mistakes or in the worst case scenario it can be sold for its gold value. Either way it is a fun and beautiful way to store the wealth from an Internet business. Consider storing some of your wealth in gold and silver coins.

The State Of Marketing In An Economic Collapse

2011-01-27T21:53:00.000-08:00

In some regards the economy has always been down. I walk down the street in any major city in my country and I seem to see most people down on their luck. They seem to do nothing powerless in the grips of a cruel world. Many people are lost clinging to dreams and delusions in a world that differs greatly from the one that they see in their head. The game of winners and losers draws folks into patters of working themselves to the brink of exhaustion while shunning family and friends, and watching their whole life pass themselves by in complete denial of the total futility of their efforts. Some take to the grand injustices of the world, others blame every individual around them, whatever be the case this feeling of strandedness must go behind the curtain for awhile. Lets just forget about our problems tonight. The matrix does this. We often buy into delusions of choice that are extremely bad decisions to the people who possess all seeing knowledge. This is not what they teach you in school, at church, or on TV. I am talking about real knowledge. How finance really works. Who is really behind the Internet. What is its real purpose. Why does the stock market go up and down? Why do oil prices sometimes go through the roof for no reason? This world is meant to be confusing. It is easy to give up hope. But many times the people who gave up were one gram of knowledge away from the truth that would set them free. What is this truth? It differs for ever person. But usually it is a hard truth that can take years to come to terms with. It is a simple truth that we often pass by. It is something that we often roll our eyes when others say it, then decades later realize how far behind we were. For some the truth may be related to inflation, good debt, gold and silver, religion, etc. But the deepest truth is letting go of the illusion. Giving into the moment. Being happy in the now. Really reserving judgment. Gaining knowledge. Growing. These deep truths cut beyond the material world. They are stronger than any portfolio, business, or success. If we can not face our soul than how can we face the world.

Life Is Always Moving On

2011-01-21T15:51:00.000-08:00

What are you doing with your time right now? Listening to music? Reading a book? Working? Going to school? Listening to others for advice? Most people have an answer related to the questions above. Sometimes it is important to set aside serious time every day for personal development. This is crucial for success. This may be as simple as browsing YouTube videos for content that one is not familiar with, or doing research that involves actually reading and interacting with forums rather than just digesting random info, most of which is absolutely meaningless. This day and this moment we must always take back for ourselves. It is time to spend time with family, friends, and grow rather than getting sucked into the trance world that exists in our head where we do things very repetitively and cyclically. This is reinforced by TV and the world around us that really seems not to change for the better. If we shift our lives we actually enact change on this field. We must learn how to change what is in us to bring resolve to our problems. People want to just accept circumstance. I believe that is insane!

(For some inspiration check out this concert by Broken Social Scene if you are not familiar with their work, listen and think about your life. That is extremely important. Feed the moment.)

Succeeding In Blogging By Doing Everything But That

2011-01-20T02:34:00.000-08:00

This is a basic but true post that I feel I must write. It will be short and sweet. Blogging is great. Do it. Gain a readership. Put your word out there. But my overall vibe of many of the how to blog blogs has shifted away from blogging. The advice is basically going onto other sites doing stuff and linking in from social profiles like facebook, twitter, youtube, flickr and the list goes on. Because there is a strong realization that it is not anymore the center of the social media unit like for example YouTube is. That is life. That is the truth. Now we must deal with it. Happy blogging in 2011.

Gold And Silver A Hot Internet Business

2011-01-20T02:04:00.000-08:00

The general online social media world is dominated by big ideas. When a certain idea takes shape, people repeat the same idea to others who agree with it, aka the 'fan boys' or whatever you want to call them. One huge meme is on the subject of gold and silver. Since precious metals are basically considered money a huge business has evolved around their sale. People have popped up out of the wood work promoting them to hedge against inflation and other problems that we face day to day. Their slogan is that money is basically worthless. Society has just not caught on to that fact yet. I personally have acquired quite a bit of these metals and other valuable things. But I do not put all of my eggs in that basket. The reason is extremely simple but true. If a small number of individuals run the world and controll the markets than there is always a possibility that prices of anything can drop down significantly. Take for example a fast food hamburger. If I want one of these base price food items I will pay a set price for an object that is necessary. Afterall I have to eat, and this unit fits the bill at a maxed out low price under the physical market. If a burger is just a couple of bucks yet an ounce of gold is in the thousands at the moment any one that compares the actual utility of a burger versus the gold realizes that the burger is of higher value but is significantly cheaper. When we further investigate the market, food is not horded after the indivdual sale like gold and silver is. So gold is in an undervalued trend reverse bubble superimposed on an inflationary economic landscape. I personally as a result do not see it as a sure thing as much as it is a valuable storage of wealth. I think investing in these metals is cool. Investing in numismatics is awesome. And aquiring antiques and collectibles is far superior. But at the end of the day as we aquire gold and silver it is also important that we strive for other ways to add financial value to ourselves. Establish ways of getting many different kinds of wealth in so if gold goes back to 20 an ounce, for some unforeseen reason we are prepared in different ways. I for one invest in fruit trees. I can eat the food, saving me money. I invest in water sources, natural resources, and my 'real life.' For example doing the things that I want to do is far more valuable than collecting a bigger rock pile than my neighbors. But the most important investment is in our mind, and that has led me to both gold and silver, and beyond. Lets all get outside the box and not get stuck on only gold and silver. There has to be something else out there better. After all a chair can not be held up by one leg. Best of luck to everyone in 2011, happy hunting for cheap gold, silver and diamonds, and peace.

Will The Recession Ever End?

2010-10-23T22:15:00.000-07:00

The Internet is full of people spreading fear and disinformation about the recession. It is easy to get caught up in the fear mongering and never leave our shell. Fear can drive us into our homes, and truly believe the only solution is to save money, buy gold or whatever. The truth be told all the solution gimmicks that people online offer are pure scams. We all have the same ability to succeed in our dreams during a recession or during a boom. Interestingly the inherent risk in funding a major real business operation does not change during these times. In fact if we are smart and do not follow the herds of people who listen to the mainstream media and talking heads what we see in front of us is the materialization of an extremely bright future. For example I made more money this summer treasure hunting than I ever did in any summer doing anything else. My treasure hunting equipment was purchased using cash that I made online. If I had just listened to the news and believed the sky was falling eventually that would have happened. Now all of the people who used to harass me to get a job, are scratching their heads as the so called WORK or more aptly titled SLAVERY has dried up. For me I tend to throw up huge risks for big rewards. For example if I beach comb an island for shells and sea glass where the ferry costs a thousand bucks, most likely what I find out there will far surpass what I would find on a crowded tourist beach where billions of people loot anything that is valuable. This is very similar to online business. For example people who pioneer new territory and do not walk down the same paths as others make more money. I do not spend much time on the net any more but still enjoy its amazing residuals. It is kind of like a gift that follows me in life. I am very thankful for it.

Change Your Blog For 2010

2010-10-23T21:54:00.000-07:00

The years seem to go by quickly. I started this blog a long time ago back in 2008 which is ancient history by these days standards. I have learned a lot about the Internet, and it has taught me many things, I have met many people, and enjoyed the billions of hours that I have spent online. The real world does not have an ounce of the information that the virtual world does. Well this post may seem out of the blue but I was struggling with a blog of mine that for some reason had a weird theme on. I changed it and am really happy I did. I am not personally big into blogger or word press themes, as we all know any one that works is good enough. But some people need a new space to symbolize a new beginning, and a new outlook on life. It may help to check out many resources out there that over the years that I have linked to on this blog. I will just throw out another word press resource that I have never tried but is worth checking out for anyone trying to go pro in blogging. The resource is ITHEMES. Check it out and tell me what you think. Hopefully it could help us all get more enjoyment out of our blogs. The Internet is here to change lives and inspire people. If you do not blog, try one today. It will be one of the best experiences of your life.

Make Fast Money For The Holidays 2010

2010-10-23T21:44:00.000-07:00

For people in need of a quick holiday boost try online advertising on a website. There are many companies out there including Google AdSense that are quick, fun and easy to use. We all could use a little more money to throw into business ideas, or buy presents for our family during the various seasons that fall in the winter time. If you are seeking non AdSense opportunities check out various companies and give them a go. For example I have never used Advertise Space ever, but I suspect it is much different than AdSense. For some people the alternatives may help them make significantly more money. After all the best way of getting out of the rut that all people get into sometimes is to try something new. Making money online is always a fun learning experience because we could all use a buck even if we are just throwing it into a silver mine investment or whatever. Best of luck this year and I hope that your holidays will be cheerful.

Domain Theft

2010-10-21T01:11:00.000-07:00

99 percent of the web domain companies out there basically sucker people into buying a domain. They site the branding aspects of having one's own domain name. People desperately want their own place online so they quickly fill in a few fields and are done. After the site becomes mildly successful the domain is usually taken by company B that is actually owned by the domain company. This creates a harder line to trace and limits liability and exposure to company A. The truth is it may be helpful to get a team of lawyers, and IT people to tie up your domain if you feel it and your blog slash site or whatever is going to be a hit. Learn the laws as well. Under common law domain theft is completely illegal, yet under corporate law it is basically legal. Going the extra mile can ensure that your business becomes something, instead of being the story of how you created a great blog that got stolen right when it really went viral online. If you do get a domain stolen it is important to put your foot down and write up who stole it in forums, on websites, and even create a blog dedicated to the shady activity. At least you could help other people know which corporations are to blame. We are here to start vibrant online businesses and not contribute to the casino where the person behind the curtain makes millions while everyone else basically fails. I believe domain theft is a major factor that has driven most budding bloggers, and webmasters back to social media, because after all YouTube can suspend an account but they cannot really make your name or brand disappear, because you are who you are. There will always be a network for you. For further reading check out Domain Theft Dot Org and Prevent Domain Theft Dot Com. If you have been a victim of the domain steal game that is rampant online than please leave a comment and educate the readers of this blog about your experience!

Blogging And Apps 2010

2010-10-21T00:39:00.000-07:00

Website Ads That Don't Get Clicked, On A Product Orientated Websites

2010-10-21T00:20:00.000-07:00

Some websites sometimes do not do well in the pay per click advertising world. For example a person may open up a very successful metal detector review website. They get substantial traffic because people value their opinion. They also get substantial search traffic that uses their information than leaves the website. It may be helpful to try an ad company that does pay per view advertising.

Following The Online Ad Revenue Curve

2010-05-12T10:32:00.000-07:00

Many people are betting on increases in online ad revenue to get them through the times. But what most people do not know is that if we adjust the online revenue to its recipients, inflation and a host of other factors that all in all online advertising is not doing so well. There are some markets that are increasing and obviously are worth any one's time but do not expect online advertising to be as strong as it was. It is easy to point to the decline in print medium advertising, but certain things are still well suited to printed paper including local businesses, events, and other things as well. It is important to realize that all hype is just that. At the end of the day we need dollars and cents in our bucket or we are wasting our time. Just always try to avoid doing something because everyone else is doing it. Find your niche and rock it.

The Instructor Said Go Home And Write A Page Tonight

2010-05-06T02:59:00.000-07:00

When in school, or at work we are often told what to do. First we are introduced to the topic. We set out on specific tasks. Along the way we pick up skills and gain experience. The title to this post is a typical cadence that many people have when blogging. They write just to write. They upload a video just to see it live. Where are the goals and the game plans my friends? When we are free to do as we like, it is essential to do as we please.

If your interests today is cars, than start a car blog now. If tomorrow your interest is growing citrus trees than begin a Vlog documentary of what you are doing. The social online medium is largely a documentation of our lives and hardly ever works when people are forced to work at something. The world changes radically every moment but we are all unique. That is the medicine that we must all tap. That which makes us special and like no other person on earth.

Do not wait to put content up. I personally believe we must all focus on the content and not the hits or the most appropriate order. People put up YouTube accounts for instance. They are on every day as a viewer but hardly put up a couple of videos a year. If you are trying to get into the partner program for instance it may help to have two separate channels. One where you put up your master work occasionally and wait for the views and another channel where you document completely your day and interests. And you will find that the channel B where you just relax and enjoy the process will bring the strongest social media personal presence which is ultimately what life is all about. Worry about people. Be kind. Let them speak. Listen. And be appreciative. Reputation is an easy thing to not care about. But it is a hard thing to build. Think of it as a slow brick by brick process. Focus on the content and be responsive rather than trying to engage other people. That way you will get those who want to know you. This is the groove of social branding. The rest is the details. Important stuff?

The Kind Of Blogs And Websites That Will Always Do Well

2010-05-05T15:52:00.000-07:00

Pursuing one's interests through the online medium is crucial for success. For instance if one is into metal detecting, documenting finds on YouTube, having a blog log book, selling metal detecting equipment on a website, selling one's finds on eBay, etc are essential parts of building a business. One can at the same time review books on a blog that one reads, maintain personal journals and vlogs about anything, or even use the online media for debate and dialogue. It is important to enjoy the people, sites, and services online and even create a few of our own.

What are some new online tools besides the obvious social media sites like Blogger, Twitter, YouTube, etc?

Community Rediscovery, Life, Past , Present, And Future

2010-04-26T22:23:00.000-07:00

The web has really changed from the 90s. New people, ideas, and websites have revolutionized how humanity views reality, itself. People have used the web in profound ways. Time is spent. Some people have a constant legacy. They keep up a post a day on their blogs or whatever. Others log in, and a few years later are gone never to be heard from again. I believe it is important that we all meditate on how we spent the last few minutes, days, years, decades or whatever. Reflecting can be a healthy and energizing experience. In some ways for me the 90s seems similar to today. What has changed is my interests and my ability to know myself a little better. These days I live with a bit more urgency to see a variety of goals and objectives that could easily be forgotten. For example this week I am going to try new things. The whole point is to better my life and understanding of what I want to do with it. At the end of the day life is what it is and life is quite short.

Why Is Facebook The Talk Of The Town?

2010-04-21T22:30:00.000-07:00

I have a confession to make. I use youtube alot and facebook never. So what I say in this article may not make much sense. If you want to be enertained watch my video below.

Well back to the topic at hand. Face Book very similarly to most tech companies is embedded into the global industrial complex. We are led to believe many things about it but at the end of the day face book is more like infrastructure than a social site. Many people have moved on while others use it more and more. The latest changes have led many to question if it will rule the web. I believe similar hype was laid on Twitter. In reality neither is true. These sites are important and do have tremendous monopolies on web traffic and attention but I for one never use Face Book. Because of this I believe web dominance is slightly perceptual. Moving on if you are like me just into finding out what is new on the web check out Talki a site that lets forums be embeddable which is amazing stuff. This should help some blogs get more attention. Also if you dig the multi media evolution check out the site Cool Iris. That is about it. Hope your day goes well.

How To Reach The Highest Potential Energy Of Life And Business

2010-04-20T19:30:00.000-07:00

First sort out things that are impossible, impractical, irrelevant, or just strange. The mind likes to attach to what we can not have. Sometimes people spend their whole lives following these images, concepts, and ideas.

The real idea is to plant the seeds for your success. This may include research and knowledge. This way you know that you are doing the right thing. This is what you really want, but also the right direction.

Do it today. Gain your skills. Get it together for success now.

Decrease conflict. This may come from doing stuff repeatedly and realizing that we should be doing other things. Doing what is right will subside the inner conflict.

Opinion About The Twitter Retweet Feature

2010-04-19T11:17:00.000-07:00

Twitter seems to be moving a bit away from its instant messaging roots with this one. Bit Rebels had an interesting article about how the automation aspects of the retweet take away the user generated aspects of the RT. Outspoken media had a pretty similar article as well. Going down the search results, all of the major blogs had similar feelings. I personally have been feeling strange about many of the choices made by social communities. They all seem to be converging when their original characteristics is what people signed on for. I have no idea if the backlash is just something people do, than get over it, or a credible opinion. Who knows. Twitter is about a community that effectively drives how it is used. Twitter has redefined how information is spread online. Without that community many great blogs would remain obscure. We would have a few less Internet celebrities, and the sky would fall! Just kidding. I am personally a believer that the true use of Twitter is in recreation. It gets the world out, spreads info, but never should be replaced with content creation like videos. Mashable points out that the normal retweets still can be used.

What is your opinion on all of this?

Expanding Your Business

2010-04-13T03:39:00.000-07:00

We live in a world where people feel looking good on paper is everything. Unfortunately when customer, and partner testimonials carry more weight that packaging most people can see why expansion should never be high on the list of things to do. It is important to find a best practice, where the good or service has a consistent ear mark of quality. Business must focus on the warehouse level, product development, then create another division to focus on the customer and support. We must avoid, especially online the quick and easy way to tapping search energy. Because desperation will be recorded forever. Stay steady, and keep the people that you have. They are the most important. Expansion is an option when demand moves beyond the threshold of normal operations. This will keep business costs low, and save a lot of wasted time.

Solar Power For Your Online Business

2010-04-11T14:04:00.000-07:00

Anyone who works a lot online knows the energy needs are great. For example I often leave my computer on all day and continually work on it. One solution would be simply to live in an apartment with wi fi and utilities included. But for the many people who live in homes, apartments or any where else where they need to foot the bill, reducing energy costs is crucial. Solar power is one solution worth considering. Solar power is very popular with many start ups out on the west coast, where the desert sun gives people an amazing amount of energy. Generally the power is stored in some kind of grounded battery or is given over to the utility company for x amount of dollars. But many people just have small portable panels just good enough to keep the computer powered. They can work with all of the lights off. This is really a generator grade system, where people just need some ready energy. One issue with energy is getting a constant flow. For example some computers crash without total energy saturation. While others do well where the grid is not as powerful.

Some solar companies that I found on Google:

1. Solar Power Inc.
2. Solar Sphere

Do your own research and product testing than leave a comment about it.

Money Is Not An Economic Resource Because

2010-04-11T05:31:00.000-07:00

Money is largely imaginary. In my country money amounts to the exchange of debt. These bank created notes are basically paper that we all agreed could be exchanged for something else. Real things on the other hand hold real value. As money inflates, or is devalued an economy tends to lean towards things that really work like resources. For example a tree can turn into wood. The wood can be turned into a house. Therefore this tree is incredibly useful. Also the tree may produce nuts that can be eaten. We often for example lay claim to these nut trees through property rights. People who are rich in these resources ascribe large amounts of wealth. For example land with an oil well can make someone more wealth, than can a person who works in a corporation for money. Though this principle is not always true, sometimes hard work can out produce ascribed wealth, generally the laws of economics are with resource rich peoples and countries.

Many of these same economic laws can be applied to the online space. For example if a blogger is able to control a niche they are economically rewarded. They are able to amass more resources than a person with a website that gets 30 hits a day.

What Are Some Sustainable Practices In Business

2010-04-10T08:57:00.000-07:00

Whether you are just trying to make your life and business more green, or your goals are to change the world there are somethings that you must consider.

1. Think sustainable. For example replacing bottled water, with filtered water is simple. Reducing energy output is simple. Buying equipment that lasts longer is simple. Creating innovative products is simple. What could you do today to further improve how your business operates in a sustainable manner.

2. Fine tune problem areas. This is something that all people need.

3. Long term sustainability goals. It can sometimes be too costly to immediately jump on the band wagon. More expensive changes can be done gradually to avoid the sticker shock.

4. Publicly declare ideals. Get the team on the boat of sustainability. Mind leads to results always.

5. Brain storm in the name of sustainability. Get other people and outside opinions on the matter.

6. Attend a sustainability conference, take a course, or spend some time with an expert in the field.

7. Join some kind of sustainable business network.

8. Become a member of a sustainability council.

9. Check out the green blogs like MNN.

10. Think about how you get your energy. Magnetic motors, and robots that use the force of our rotating earth for energy, for example are not science fiction. Think solar my friends. The sun brings us plants. Plants have their own solar panels on them. Also bio diesel is also an option.

11. Free energy is real. Do not let people fool you.

12. Use some frugal living hacks. People have informatively overcame financial obstacles in their lives. For example some people hand wash their clothes leaving them much cleaner. Simple principles like that can be applied to business. We often are not aware of these things. I try to improve my life every day.

13. Never limit yourself to what you think is true. Most science fiction for example is actually a reality. The technology has yet to spread. Below for example is something strange I filmed in the sky. Who knows what it is. Few people ever look up with a telescope and believe that those small dots are only stars. That is how the sustainability world works. It is vast and limitless.

Why Is Everything Impossible

2010-04-08T20:29:00.000-07:00

Often when we think of the word impossible, we often forget what these thoughts really mean. Sometimes we think something to mean something else. Sometimes when starting a business seems impossible, we really are not doing what we truly love. Our mind may just be dropping a subtle hint.

So what is possible?

Basically impossibility is a gauge that other people use on you to gain control over your actions. They generally do not want to see you succeed. These words may be a badge of future success rather than some kind of trap. 'Do not listen to people. Money is a trap.' Are just a few cliches that we must dissect to realize our dreams.

If we want more money for instance, the real question is what do we really desire? Comfort, stability, toys, happiness, or whatever. Fill in the blank with what you want. But never forget the x factor my friends. The unknown forces of good that exist and pull together the world that we perceive. A knowledge of this is vital to business success.

Never listen to others, is one of the best pieces of advice on earth. People just say stuff. Learn to listen but not internalize. They may just be contributing to the sound space. Realize that people who communicate excessively do so to fill some kind of void. Silence is the best teacher. This is why the best business plans are hashed up in complete silence.

Ditch your road map. Face reality. Get it done. Find ways to improve yourself this year that you can carry on to the year after that.

Are You A Leader Or A Boss

2010-04-01T04:36:00.000-07:00

Simple solutions usually lick complex problems. Many people fly around the world to realize simple things about their life. Others do not go anywhere and never face the same set of things.

Business is like that. Online business is not simple. Do not get fooled. If you do not have something to sell, it may help to develop that first. For example manufacturing bicycle parts in your garage could lead to an online bike part website that you made and maintain.

Business is never simple. The sheer complexity of the competitive world is astonishing. Sometimes good manners is not enough. We are in a world saturated with people wanting to do work that the world has little demand for. Because of this product development is everything.

Being original, independent, and creating true time honored quality is everything. Understanding the complex and intricate that customers have with the product and your website is crucial. What are you doing about it?

Ultimately the things matter. The consumer has more choices these days. I can personally find stuff on my computer that is far newer and better than I could find at any store.

I largely go by reviews and brand recognition. If you are new to the game obviously quality and branding are huge. Those are literally annoying words that basically mean get it right the first time. Do not waste people's time. Do not be foolish. In online business we all have only one chance. Reputations are gone with the wind unless we are super respectful of the space, our product, our customers, and the list goes on till the cows come home.

The big word is leadership my friends. Leaders always do well in business because of their tenacious initiative. They get it done while the world sleeps. They are always driving fore ward instinctively and tirelessly. Are you a leader?

How Can The Internet Be Used For Competitive Advantage In Business

2010-04-01T04:16:00.000-07:00

Can the physical body manifest success? Often the answer is yes. Many people neglect this simple fact. They really push it and end up a wreck. This is common.

Can success bring healing to the physical body? The answer is most likely no. Destiny may be a pretty large thing. It may be colorful. But when it happens people notice that there life is not much different, no matter how many diamonds are on their hand, or cars in their garage.

So this is not a yin and yang relationship. With that said the Internet is great for learning, networking, and making cash. We can find ourselves here. It is the Internet that inspires people to do what they would have never done otherwise. Some grow their hair out. Others walk across the country. Having and achieving these lofty goals is really what life is all about. Do not get carried away with money, or any other promise that is given from the TV or the world.

Is user generated content diminishing over time? In some ways it is. People loose interest in the medium. After the hype is generated from humans, corporations start to take interest in the traffic and people leave. This is a similar life cycle of most community sites, and social media mediums. This may even be the cycle for the Internet itself. That is why bigger personal fortunes were made in the early Internet. Than as it grew and changed, more people could make less money.

In the end it all comes back to you. Who cares about this or that. What are you all about? Where are you going. And how can the Internet take you there?

The world turns and I forgot to pay attention to what has happened! Technology is amazing. I am totally stuck in 2008 lol.

Let us take a look at some late breaking developments:

Eye Fi looks like an SD card that brings WI Fi capabilities to our cameras. This is very useful because my video camera has a drive. So basically I could edit stuff directly to the web and bring in other things off the web. This is really what the future should look like! I will be playing Heyzap until my laziness subsides and I order one! I wonder where technology will take us? Do you have a Hunch?

2010 Link Day: Wix And Total Apps

2010-03-23T16:20:00.000-07:00

I have realized that many of my posts have not been overly useful lately. And I set out on this blog, to finally create a site that people can learn something from. The essence of the web is other websites. It is hard to understand that if we spend all of our time on youtube. But that is exactly what I have been doing lately, so my blogging has been missing in action. This post will hopefully lead some people down some cool trails on the interwebs.

The first site that I cam across is Wix. This is a great service that helps people do stuff on flash pages. Wix just seems very useful for people who care about the looks which are really important.

Total Apps is anouther cool site about applications. This is important because now days everyone is talking about how apps are the future. Sprawled across every paper and magazine is app this and that. This is important info my friends to understand where this online matrix virtual reality is taking us next.

That is about it. Report back to me your thoughts on those links, and have a good day!

I Have Lost All Interest In Twitter! What Should I Do?

2010-03-23T15:58:00.000-07:00

Is Twitter all the rage my friends? I honestly do not know any more because I hardly ever use it. I have given up texting, messaging, and anything else that resembles real communication. Why? I just need time for other things.

So how can I redeem such a negative blog post by marketing standards? Who knows lol. But check out ADLY if you are interested in making money on Twitter. Adly is in tweet advertising similar to many other services.

If your Twitter account is used more personally with people than you may want to think Twice about this. It may be less intrusive to get a sponsored link in your description if you really need that.

I have been thinking long and hard about the whole selling out think online. But I have come to one conclusion. Even the hottest youtube or twitter commidity of the moment will eventually fade. If your powers can make you decent money now why not take it!

On the other hand you may loose visitors because of this. But I am no purist. I try to put advertising on everything. Why? Because the best type of money is here and now.

But all to their own. Tell me how your day is going in the comment section.

The Real Crazy Challenges When Setting Up A Business

2010-03-23T15:37:00.000-07:00

Businesses tend to always go under. Do not ask me why. We must turn that fear into a constructive energy that goes right to the point of energy. Here we will unlock the money quickly and effectively.

People tend to give up on successful ventures. Take a musician for example. They love music up until the point where they get good. It is then that their craft becomes boring.

This is the hump we must all get out of. The cage that we must all pick the lock on. This my friends is the ultimate caveat.

There are people who put up one video on YouTube and get millions of hits. No questions asked. There are others who put up ten a day their entire lives and never get over 3 hits a piece. Where is the justice here my friends?

Then there are those that go for their calling. They become noble and do well. They were shaky in the beginning but in the end were pros.

A Blog Business And Internships

2010-03-20T07:14:00.000-07:00

Blogging for money is obviously where it is at. People who can successfully do it often have more ideas than they can act upon. Why not hire interns? Many businesses actually have people pay for internships. So why not do that for you blog. You can even get the final editorial say on the blog content. This can raise the value of you blog especially if you use other bloggers who have their own audience.

The 10 Real Pillars Of Success

2010-03-17T05:54:00.000-07:00

1. Always look to successful people, and not the experts. Successful people do not need a title, or associations. Experts are really constructed and not made. Look to real things to achieve your goals, the world around you, travel, and action.

2. Keep it all in prospective. Do not get trapped chasing an idea that you will just do till you get to the end. If things clearly seem pointless move out and away.

3. The time is now. If you want to move to California for instance, do it right this moment. Now is always the best time. Planning and thinking about the future is pointless. Time is not forever. Get out there.

4. Have your own ideas, actions, and goals. Do not let others dictate that stuff to you.

5. Make a major change today. Find the thing that would have the biggest impact on your life and do it. Take that trip. Who cares. Success does not wait for anyone. And no matter what the world always spins and ultimatly no one cares. So do not listen to the life pressures forcing you into the norms of success.

6. Never set monetary goals. This is what many people do and is extremely pointless. Accomplish real and satisfying things and the money and acknowlegements will follow.

7. Things change. Get over it. It is not where things are going that is important, but rather where you are going, what you are doing and ultimately how you feel about the big picture. Your life is important to you. Never forget that. If you are stranded, do not look externally. Face life, smell the coffee, wake up and make changes.

8. The economy will never get good. Never wait for something to happen. If you want to go to Africa just do it now. The losses are an illusion. Never cling to the vestiges of anything.

9. There will always be problems with everything. We live in a broken world. Do not internalize it or the sick people or you will just go down with them. Get away, rise above and win.

10. You are who you are and no one else. It is all in you. No one is better really. Be it.

The Spirit Of Work

2010-03-16T02:48:00.001-07:00

Making money online takes a work ethic like anything else. The lurning curve is sharp. The work that people put in to succeed is generally quite a bit. So be ready to work hard for that money. Crank out the posts and videos. Respond to all people. Make yourself known. Participate in community. Do not focus too much on any one thing. Build a personal brand. Do what you love. Always try to expand what you do. Try new things. Stick with it. Enjoy it.

Blogging For And About Keywords?

2010-03-13T21:31:00.001-08:00

Search engine traffic on specific keywords is cool. There is a tendency for google to emphasize sites that play within the realm of their suggested key phrases. Great content is necessary also when the spider evaluates the site. Video content is important, and more specifically targeted sequencing of high quality content.

Getting keyword traffic will not help adsense if the keywords do not pay out well. Also many bloggers do well on seemingly irrelevant keywords. They may bring good traffic, but not much more.

Taking good domains out for the long term can improve key word success. For example if I have a domain and a blog that does well out of the box for 10 general keywords, and 8 specific I may lock it down for many years and this could tag on even more keywords and traffic.

Keywords always comes back to content. If what you do is somehow not conducive to the collection of information by search engines, your site may not have any keywords. But sites can still do well in aggregators, so do not take keywords too seriously.

But build great sites. Yes focus on one blog, but build many and experiment. Trial and error, and playing it by ear will improve your ability to nail important keywords, have more successful blogs, and ultimately make more money.

Building On A Dream

2010-03-13T00:42:00.000-08:00

I want to be a movie star. I want to be this. I want to be that. These are common feelings that people have. Occasionally dreams happen. More often lifestyles are engineered. Commonly people are working jobs that they know in their heart will not deliver even a retirement. But we work for food, clothing, shelter, legitimacy, or whatever. But our dreams can still happen. Think about this:

The Blueprint For Gaining An Online Edge:

1. Get a video camera in a store or online.

2. Get some simple video editing software

3. Start making videos for youtube

4. Create a blogger blog

5. Set up social profiles

6. Learn skills through the web and follow interests

If most people follow a similar plan, over time they will gain access to their dreams. Sales funnels, social proof, or whatever it takes all can be gained from time, patience, experience, product quality, will, heart, dedication, and a positive attitude.

Find something that you are obsessed with. Odds are other people are too. This is a strong market for gaining traffic to videos and websites.

Find a market on a product or service that people really need. Use the essential route to leverage money in a well positioned online business.

Dream a dream and make it happen using the internet, social sites, video and blogging. Living the dream will make it happen sooner or later. Be patient, grow and do it.

Is Your Blog Notable?

2010-03-11T07:11:00.000-08:00

Many people just try to win awards. But in reality a small amount of excellent blog content is worth much more than billions of pages of failed content. There is a reason that certain blogs draw people again and again.

Do not know where to start? Make a blog about yourself. Record your surroundings. Get comfortable in the blogging medium.

Then move into niche blogs suited to your interest. One great niche blog is worth more than a million failed ones.

Blogging is about quality and focus. Many bloggers say it can take years to really know how to knock one out of the park. Others say it is best to get everything right the first time.

Is it worth investing money into blogs? Yes and no. I love word press and specialized blogs, but the bells and whistles are not necessary. The medium is a tool and not the end all.

In the online web though blogs can bring hits to YouTube videos, or gain people twitter followers. Blogs brings all of the links together and drive traffic from search engines to the words and media. Blogs are magical in their own way. They are a world on their own. There has been a shift from blogging recently. But blog power is real and when we know it, we know zen.

It is all about now, here and what we have to say or offer.

Ideas Versus Presentation

2010-03-10T14:45:00.000-08:00

The internet has contracted the value and use of time. People unless somehow signaled will not spend a whole lot of time doing anything. Before the intenet people used to dwell on different things in the media. Now they are always looking for ways to move on and out. Especially with things that are extremely popular online there is a tendency to look for what is next.

Presentation is a big draw. But not a long lasting money maker. Certain people on youtube for example draw people to their video. They have strong presentation and aestetics.

When the short term value runs out what do you give people? This is very important. What are your long term goals online? How will you sustain what you are doing online?

Leaving A Message On Someone Else's Blog, Message Board, Video, Etc...

2010-03-08T12:06:00.000-08:00

A major aspect of online business is the volley of communication. It is a delicate dance between participating and being overbearing. We know we should probably be leaving messages below those videos, blog posts and other things in social media. But we must remember:

1. That our messages may be there a long time

2. Our ability to destroy our relationship with that person and others

Some of the most common communication between people on the internet includes:

A. Not leaving any message at all - This may not seem like a tool but it is really good. Basically we let our relationships develop with other people. If we are busy creating content why waste time leaving comments when our content is not up. Also why take the risk with many people that will basically reject our desire to connect.

B. A general greeting - A professional verson of the hi, hows it going can be a great opener. For the people who do not want to reply back kinda know that the greeting was really not meant to communicate. And for the others this may generate interest so they will come onto our soil and open up a dialogue.

C. A customized greeting - Customizing a greeting shows people that we the reader, or fan have taken the time to go through their content. This will increase the odds for interaction. It is important not to get over zealous and allow the relationship and connection to sink in. I am a firm believer that time is what grows the best connections and not going crazy in someone elses comment area.

D. An off center greeting - This is designed to get the person's attention. For example if you are trying to get a legendary blogger or youtuber to acknowlege you on a personal level then you need to do something to seperate your message from the thousand other messages that they get on a day to day basis. This is a fundemental life skill where you try to put yourself in their shoes. Really it is important to humor or amuse them in some way and show that you do not take things too seriously. If you are good at this skill they will always take the bait. If not than it may be a one in ten scenerio.

E. A smiley face - This is becomming increasingly common. People want their emotion and presence known but feel it is a bit over the top to try to communicate out of the gate. When doing this know your audience.

F. Tell us what kind of messages you leave other people.

To conclude, online communication is an important skill to learn and develop. If you build an audience and continually interact you are ahead of the game. Do not turn your business into anouther annoying product placement channel that will just get blocked by millions of annoyed people.

What Are You Really Doing With Your Opportunities

2010-03-07T14:08:00.000-08:00

A negative attitude is common. Taxes are high. Everything is a scam. I can never make it as a blogger, or online video channel. It is impossible. It is uncool. Unfortunately these thoughts defeat the purpose of reality. Sure taxes are high, but there is a big break for education. So it may help to go to school for computer training which will help your online business. It may seem that getting into wordpress is a big overhead. But if it is audited as a business expense then you may get a tax break for that. Life is about these major actions that help improve your physical enterprise. For example it may help to stop getting advice from sources that you have been proven wrong. One thing is for sure that what the masses feel, tends to be a good opinion. For example a product on amazon that one hundred people rate 5 star is generally a pretty good product. Life is kind of like that. There are some simple internet business truths that we all kinda know, but till we apply to these universal laws we will never win. Go with the flow my friends and then life gets better. Fight the world how it is and then we fall to negativity, and futile thoughts. There are two roads they say and the positive attitude, open minded vibe is the best for internet business.

Cutting Edge Products

If you are in the business online game to win then put a lot of time into your product. The best products always win over time. If you have a youtube channel, make it the best. If you are on twitter be the greatest. It is that simple. In order to win in a competitive world it is important to have a big lead. This is more than just the edge. It is real victory.

Dealing With External Powers

2010-03-05T19:08:00.000-08:00

We all have the power to engineer a perfect life. To get the exact things we need online for instance. Food, water, and shelter...

But no matter who we are, the imposition of outside powers and forces often gives us a hard run to our goals. Sometimes it is best to avoid things and situations that are against us. Then we can convert our energy to where we can succeed and find social mobility and financial freedom.

Internet business is great for people who do not live in an economic rich area, or do not have serious time to start a physical business. The Internet can generate wealth and freedom.

Just be careful of the most common mistakes people make online:

1. Reputation - It is very common for people to feel anonymous online and forget that the world is watching. Let the stuff come your way and give people the freedom to interact. I am sick of getting emails along the line of 'check out my site,' or 'check out my videos.' 100% of the time I do not. And I know that these people generally produce a lower quality product that does not spread across the web too well. Be modest and let your content and positive generosity speak for itself. Do not come after people with the product you are selling.

2. Negativity - Online there are many people trying to bring you down. That is a simple fact. There are people who make huge incomes as trolls. It is easy to feel down when being psychologically harassed by these people. They may sometimes tell the truth. But just block them out and keep sending out the content. If it is too hard just quit.

3. Time - An Internet business like any other does take some time. It is easy to get caught up in those people who quickly succeed. That is generally not the norm. Time and learning are the key. Get a game plan. Set realistic goals like getting a hundred thousand views on YouTube or one hundred dollars a day with AdSense. Then do and learn from your mistakes and not what some other person tells you. And if you do not feel comfortable sacrificing your valuable time on the net quit right now.

4. Energy - People who work day in and out on the net get tired. It is easy to think that a sit down job would be easy. It is not. Most people who are successful online lead very imbalanced lives. Many bloggers have quit and made major career changes. Basically they said this is it. Imagine leaving a successful enterprise like that.

5. Realistic Goals - We all instinctively know what we can do. Unfortunately online it is easy to compare ourselves to others. This is a trap. Be yourself. Follow your interests wherever they may lead. Do not always just chase hype.

6. The Leg Work - If you want to do well producing content you may have to go out into the world with a camera. If you review products you will have to initially buy them. If you are into filming and street interviews you will need to cut a lot of film and produce well made videos. Online work can be physical.

There are many more things I want to say but please play to win. Be the best. Be ethical. Be good. You are a real champion.

What Does Desperation Really Mean

2010-03-05T10:32:00.000-08:00

Many people who loose their jobs, or do not make as much money as they want on an online business often become desperate. This is only a natural feeling of percieved helplessness. In reality they just sacrificed their time into activities that are not as fruitful as we percieve them. In the internet business it is often the wrong ideas that get people into this corner. In the job market it is usually a heavy reliance on the job and hence the actions of other people. Our real power comes from ourselves to make truely independent decisions. It does not matter what other people tell you, even if that person makes 6 figures working a minute a year. It does not matter what family that person is from or their story. We all live our own lives. Take our own risk. And travel our own road. If we have an obstacle on our road, instead of getting mad at the obstacle it is better to take a different road and direction. Take yourself to the happiest time in your life and try to bring that feeling back. Because success is meaningless with happiness and a positive but real attitude. Keeping it real with our situation and facing our reality is key. It is important to not get caught up in what the tv or society tells us. We must all sail our own ship. Escaping impossible situations will make a hero out of anyone.

What Could You Be Doing Now To Solve Your Problems

2010-03-04T20:00:00.000-08:00

Internet business is a part of life, but what about that other part. What void do you need filling? What are your real dreams honestly? What country do you want to live in? What impact do you want to make on humanity? What values do you hold? What are you really after? Is doing stuff a distraction from that real thing that you want? Because it is probably instantly obtainable if you want to do it. For example if you today want to lie on the beaches of mexico, leave right now. Do not try to save money. Do not make excuses. Life is short and in this moment you are at your true peak. If you satisfy that one urge, then the next, you will open up the world that you never thought was possible. Then your internet business will be just an amusing hobby that makes you money while the world spins around and people rush to the next thing. Life is a vacation if you make it that. Life is work if you make it that. Do not work too hard. And send me a post card.

Push Through The Negativity

2010-03-03T09:17:00.000-08:00

In the online world people get negative to engage people. They hope their target stops what they are doing. This is a common thing people have to deal with online. Sometimes critique can help. Usually it is unfounded. Block these people and keep posting. Do not stop.

Is Your Heart In Your Brand

2010-03-02T23:17:00.000-08:00

People seem to have a pretty amazing ability to tell if somone is serious about what they promote. People who take themself and their business serious often do much better than people who are closer to being a poser. Often if we are not doing what we want to be doing we send out subconscious body language that triggers a certain response in other people's brains. People who do sales pitches on tv for example are really good with their body language, tone of voice, presentation, and delivery. This is a learned and developed talent that is not easy to do. Some people for example are so bad at the pitch that they try to shy away from the spotlight in their business. Other people really connect and relate to their customers. It is really about being yourself. There will always be some one saying negative things. These things can be true and used as advice, but not all of the time. Taking advice to literally undermines the voice within and great business execution curtesy of practice.
