Years ago that Palm is not leading the market for smart phones and personal digital diaries, but the company expects to recover their positions with two new bets. A new operating system, Palm OS Web and phone, which has been developing since 2007 and is called Pre.

The presentation of the two products, which took place at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, has been well received by industry analysts and the stock market. The company's shares rose yesterday after the event at the CES a 34.85%.

This is a phone equipped with the latest generation of WiFi connectivity and a full keyboard that is hidden when you glide from the carcass of the terminal. It is intended to compete with mobile devices such as BlackBerry, Apple iPhone or Nokia N96.

Currently, Palm is the third largest manufacturer of smart phones and smartphones in the U.S. market, behind RIM and Apple. Pre-sold exclusively with operator Sprint in the market during the first quarter of 2009.

Polaroid back to load ... digital

Polaroid failed to market the films last year that allowed users to print their cameras to get a snapshot of just taking it. But has left to fans of immediacy, and the consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, the ESC has made a camera that prints photographs, taken together in this digital format.

According to the website of Wired magazine, Polaroid has finally submitted his camera at CES PoGo. Will cost $ 200 and includes a color printer capable of getting the paper in one minute the camera that captures images. Impressions are made in a two by three inches.

The photographs are printed layers, and if one of them withdrew from the back, was uncovered a sticky paste that allows images anywhere. In addition, there are no major differences with other digital cameras on the market. Have an LCD where you can watch what you are going to portray or navigate the menus to choose whether you want to print or not.

The paper sold packages. One of 10 units costing five dollars, 13 and 30 to print a photo. Expensive when compared with the paper to print on traditional printers, but three times more for less of the cost of the old Polaroid film.

Imation Apollo Pro WX, hard disks WUSB

The Wireless USB begins to position itself in the marketplace. Probably you do not hit it until laptops and computers come pre-installed with this technology.


Without specifying whom will be in sizes that will be sold, we do know that the largest of the discs will offer 1.5 TB of storage capacity. They also have a few tabs on the side with whom we can have them stand without using a carrier.

Anyway, still will have to wait to opt for WUSB technology, since it seems that prices around 150 dollars, not counting the hard drive to add. Hence we must add either a WUSB adapter or a computer that supports this technology. I want rid of the wires, but not at this price.

Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Mini Ui 3520

Presented officially in late August, is already confirmed that Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 3520 IU Mini is also available for sale in Spain.

This computer comes to increasing the list of ultraportátiles available in our country, showing quite as balanced as a whole but without highlighting any particular aspect, quite apart from the possibility of adding a casing to customize, as well as protecting its exterior.

Not only we can change their color, but also sell some transparent housings, so that we can use the image or picture that we want to decorate the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Mini.

Its screen is 8.9 inches, offering a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. It's kind of LCD and is designed for use outdoors without reflexes bother us. To manage it, has an Intel GMA 950 graphics card, which supports DirectX 9. Integra at the top, a 1.3 megapixel webcam and a microphone that we will perform videoconferencing.

Its interior, we find an Intel Atom 1.6 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and a 60 GB hard drive, although there will be options available with 80 and 120 GB. Unfortunately there is no RAM can be expanded through additional modules, since 1 GB is the maximum it supports.

As connectivity, we find the Wi-Fi compatible with 802.11g, which can not be omitted from a team well, and a Bluetooth module 2.1, which will allow us to use a cellphone to connect to the Internet. In addition, has an ExpressCard slot with which we can connect a 3G card.

It comes also with a pair of USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet connection and a memory card reader, which supports SD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro and MMC.

Its battery is 4 cells and, although offers a range of 4.5 hours, this only occurs in the case that we are not doing anything with him. It is appreciated that the manufacturer tell us the real time we can get him, in case you are navigating through Wi-Fi is just over 2.5 hours. Justita, but at least not less than similar models.

Since December will be available an extra battery of six cells, with which we can stretch a little more autonomy from Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Mini. It also lengthens the somewhat using its silent mode, by pressing keys reduces the frequency of work the processor and graphics card, limiting the noise produced by fans.

Their actions are 23.2 x 17.5 cm and weight, the usual in this type of ultraportátiles, just over one kilogram.

A pity that the only operating system you can buy the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 3520 IU Mini is Windows XP Home Edition, as might have chosen to offer it with any Linux distribution, reducing its price a little, which is about 399 euros reasonable . It is not ultraportable cheaper, but falls within the average for their benefits.

It was put up for sale next to a cabinet in red, but subsequently be acquired in other packs that contain a color and a transparent, and that will be available in pink, red, black, gold and dark blue.

Asus RT-N11, create up to four wireless networks

With most wireless routers are used to define little more than the network name that we use, security and begin to use them. But if we give access to someone, for example, if a friend comes home, this is not the safest solution.

To this end, the Asus RT-N11 allows the creation of up to four areas, namely, four subnets, each with a corresponding name, and in which we can define what kind of security we want and the width of banda that offer.

This allows us to, for example, connect all our computers in one of the sub, using WPA2 with a strong password and ancho de banda unlimited, while also offering another subnet, without using passwords to connect with a width of banda limited, so that we do not saturate ours.

The options are several, but the improvement in security if we share the wireless network is clear. The RT-Asus N11 is compatible with the preliminary version of 802.11n, offering higher speed and coverage, in addition to incorporate mime, which also increases their performance.

We forgot to comment on the Asus RT-N11 has a WAN connection, ie is a router for ADSL and not separate from this. It is on sale for 81.20 euros.

Asus AiGuru SV1, video calls via Skype

The range of Asus AiGuru was created by the manufacturer in combination with Skype, offering phones that allow us to make calls through this service VoIP. So far, we have seen models like S2, which also calls SideShow available for use on computers with Vista.

The last appearance of this family is the Asus AiGuru SV1, which adds a new feature on the phone, conducting video calls via Skype. In return, his party loses more portable, as it is a big and that is not intended to be carried anywhere.

It is rather a complement to fixed telephone, a bit in the style of those films that futurists predict that within a few years have videoteléfonos with those who see him face to our interlocutor. As the AiGuru SV1 brings that future, which I am not convinced that is what they really want. Without trying to make a video call early in the morning, newly erected.

Its LCD screen is 7 inches and offers a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. The camera has a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels and integrates the microphone and a loudspeaker, although we may use our own through which includes connectors. It connects to the network via Ethernet connector or via Wi-Fi, being compatible with 802.11g.

For if we really need to take it from side to side (which he does not seem advisable too) has a battery that offers 20 minutes of autonomy. It is on sale from October and will be priced at about $ 300.

Is Expensive and unnecessary? You can, taking into account that an ultraportable could perform the same functions but have the future available right now is what we have.

Samsung Beat Edition, mobile music


Samsung wants to boost its line of music phones, a market expansion and clear in which other manufacturers have long since come full, with the clear example of his range with Nokia XpressMusic. The Samsung are known as The Beat Edition.

For the moment, are launched with two models, Samsung and Samsung Beats BEATb, which does not stand out both for its internal memory capacity, because they prefer betting on the storage MicroSD cards, but by checks devoted to reproduction and functions accompany them.

The Samsung BEATb is a kind of candybar phone that includes technology DNSe, that this company also offers a widgets as the YP-Q1, and improves the sound quality.

By contrast, Samsung Beats is a slider and includes amplifier Bang & Oluffsen ICEpower, along with a pair of stereo speakers.

Among the common features are the keys of reproduction in the front of phones, which allow us to control the music we hear. But they also incorporate MotionPlay, with which we can do the same through gestures.

So, shaking the phone we can go forward or backward song and tapping the finger can pause and resume play. As additional functions for music, including service Shazam identification of songs, which, by the way, we tested the iPhone and operates in more than correct.

It was put up for sale between September and October, although at the moment has not yet been announced at that price.

The Hyper Communication Technology akes Depressed Teenagers

Today adolescents suffer from hyper-communication, clearly helped and encouraged by the many ways to dialogue and share experiences offered by digital technologies. SMS, email, social networking sites allow teenagers to speak in so many ways and in many moments. From a little 'time conversations of kids are being studied among psychologists, known today as the New York Times, which focused mainly on talk of girls, noting among females not only un'iper-communication than to males, but also some aspects of this little healthy dialogue excessive.

According to experts in short, the gentle sex is much more garrulo of males, but this production disproportionate speeches, messaggini, mail and chat can amplify, in people already predisposed, the trend all'ossessività and all'ansia. In particular, according to a study by Professor Amanda J. Rose, assistant director of psychological sciences at the University of Missouri, the girls put in motion a mechanism called by the experts co-ruminating (rimuginare sharing), rimuginando precisely on the problems and anxieties, ingigantendo problems and placing himself at risk of what experts call "emotional contagion". Also emerging gender differences also in relation to the themes treated between boys and girls between the first, confirming the clichés tend to speak less of fear and personal issues and are generally less inclined all'introspezione. Other studies confirm the intuitions of Dr. Rose and will be soon published a book on the subject of co-ruminating by researchers at State University at Stony Brook.

How to Download to PSP

So, you'ree a PSP game and music fan. You've got a Sony PSP and you want to play more than just games. You are probably wondering big time how you download music and films etcetera to your Sony PSP. To be honest it is amazingly easy to do. It takes only a few minutes to do each song. You could be listening to all your faves in no time at all. Plus the coolest games available.

Firstly you cannot connect your PSP direct directly to the web unless you own a wireless router. You can however, download the PSP MP3 files from special PSP download websites, these include many great games, ebooks, videos and lots of other stuff. After you have saved each file to your computer hard drive you must then transfer it over to your PSP. PSP music must be in the proper format or it will not play properly, even if you use a file that is a standard mp3 one. It still must be in the specific MP3/PSP format.

You need a special USB cable that will connect from your computer to the PSP plus a ripper program that copies mp3 music files to the Sony PSP format. A good standard software program is the CD MP3 Ripper, and this will be able to do pretty much anything you need to do. Once you have saved the mp3 files, all you need do is select from the options menu the "PSP Audio Format", and the file will be saved correctly.

There is an infinitely easier alternative to doing this manually! There are many websites who specifically target PSP downloads. They are offering ready formatted PSP music, videos and games all immediately downloadable. Some of these are free of charge (with usually quite limited choices) but the better ones have usually a single one off charge, subsequently you can download songs to your PSP, as many as you want! In addition, you get PSP videos, games and all the extras. When you join a PSP download club they will always supply all software instructions to convert normal files to PSP compatible formats. A complete step-by-step instruction showing how to convert Sony MP3 files from normal mp3 files and then put them on your PSP.

I know this for sure, I've attempted to do this manually and it took me quite some time before I got anything to work properly, and after seeing how long this entire process was taking, I just gave up and joined a PSP download site! You can do 1 song quickly, but if you want a hundred tunes, forget it.

Personalize Your iPod While Keeping it Safe

Most every electronic device today has some sort of protective carrying case. From portable gaming systems to digital cameras to cell phones, cases not only protect the gadget, the also ensure that all the components stay together. With a carrying case, cables stay put and memory cards are not lost along the way. Headphones are not separated or broken, and games, batteries and even instruction manuals are never lost.

Unfortunately, many of these cases are bulky; rarely is any socialite seen walking around with his or her cell phone slipped into a belt buckle carrying case. While older women or construction workers might not see the absurdity in this design, others do. Protective cases are, for the most part, the opposite of delicate, and in a world where electronic manufacturers are marching ever so quickly toward the smallest, the coolest, the thinnest and the sleekest, many users will go without the protection of a carrying case to maintain the look and presence of their devices.

The iPod case is a different story. In this shallow world of universal concern for everyone else's appearance, rarely is any iPod user ever seen without a case. While the case does, once again, protect a multi-hundred dollar investment, the iPod case is sleek, it's cool, and in many ways, it allows the user to express his or her beliefs, personality and desires in a way the iPod itself cannot.

How To Write A Successful Business Plan

Whether you are planning to start a brand-new business, expand an existing company, or get financing for a business venture, you will need to write a business plan. A business plan not only lends your business a sense of credibility, but also helps you to cover all your bases, increasing your chances of success.

Although writing a business plan can be a lengthy, intimidating project, it is not necessarily difficult. Here is an overview of how to write a successful business plan.

What to Include in Your Business Plan

Your business plan needs to demonstrate that you have thoroughly considered all aspects of running your business. To that end, the standard business plan has nine major sections, covering everything from your business’s mission statement to a detailed financial analysis.

Executive Summary

The first – and most important – section of your business plan is the executive summary. This section is so important that it should literally be the first thing the reader sees – even before the table of contents! However, it should also be written last, as you’ll have a better understanding of the overall message of your business plan after you’ve researched and written the other sections.

One of the most important parts of the executive summary is the mission statement. The mission statement is only three or four sentences long, but it should pack the most punch out of everything else in your business plan: Those four sentences are responsible for not only defining your business, but also capturing the interest of your reader.

The rest of your executive summary should fill in the important details that the mission statement glosses over. For instance, your executive summary should include a short history of the business, including founder profiles and start date; a current snapshot, listing locations, numbers of employees, and products or services offered; and a summary of future plans and goals.

This section is a candidate for a bulleted format, which allows you to list main points in a manner that is easy to scan. Avoid using too much detail – remember, this section is a summary. A page or two is usually sufficient for an executive summary.

Market Analysis

The next section of your business plan focuses on market analysis. In order to show that your business has a reasonable chance for success, you will need to thoroughly research the industry and the market you intend to sell to. No bank or investor is going to back a doomed venture, so this section is sure to fall under especially close scrutiny if you are looking for financing.

Your market analysis should describe your industry, including the size, growth rate, and trends that could affect the industry. This section should also describe your target market – that is, the type or group of customers that your company intends to serve. The description of your target market should include detail such as:

• Distinguishing characteristics
• The needs your company or product line will meet
• What media and/or marketing methods you’ll use to reach them
• What percentage of your target market you expect to be able to wrest away from your competitors

In addition, your market analysis should include the results of any market tests you have done, and an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of your competitors.

Company Description

After your market analysis, your business plan will need to include a description of your company. This section should describe:

• The nature of your business
• The needs of the market
• How your business will meet these needs
• Your target market, including specific individuals and/or organizations
• The factors that set you apart from your competition and make you likely to succeed

Although some of these things overlap with the previous section, they are still necessary parts of your company description. Each section of your business plan should have the ability to stand on its own if need be. In other words, the company description should thoroughly describe your company, even if certain aspects are covered in other sections.

Organization and Management

Once you have described the nature and purpose of your company, you will need to explain your staff setup. This section should include:

• The division of labor – how company processes are divided among the staff
• The management hierarchy
• Profiles of the company’s owner(s), management personnel, and the Board of Directors
• Employee incentives, such as salary, benefits packages, and bonuses

This goal of this section is to demonstrate not only good organization within the company, but also the ability to create loyalty in your employees. Long-term employees minimize human resource costs and increase a business’s chances for success, so banks and investors will want to see that you have an effective system in place for maintaining your staff.

Marketing and Sales Management

The purpose of the marketing and sales section of your business plan is to outline your strategies for marketing your products or services. This section also plans for company growth by describing how the growth could take place.

The section should describe your company’s:

• Marketing methods
• Distributions methods
• Type of sales force
• Sales activities
• Growth strategies

Product or Services

Following the marketing section of your business plan, you will need a section focusing on the product or services your business offers. This is more than a simple description of your product or services, though. You will also need to include:

• The specific benefits your product or service offers customers
• The specific needs of the market, and how your product will meet them
• The advantages your product has over your competitors
• Any copyright, trade secret, or patent information pertaining to your product
• Where any new products or services are in the research and development process
• Current industry research that you could use in the development of products and services

Funding Request

Only once you have described your business from head to toe are you ready to detail your funding needs. This section should include everything a bank or investor needs in order to understand what type of funding you want:

• How much money you need now
• How much money you think you will need over the next five years
• How the money you borrow will be used
• How long you will need funding
• What type of funding you want (i.e. loans, investors, etc.)
• Any other terms you want the funding arrangement to include

Financials

The financials section in your business plan supports your request for outside funding. This section provides an analysis of your company’s prospective financial success. The section also details your company’s financial track record for the past three to five years, unless you are seeking financing for a startup business.

The financials section should include:

• Company income statements for prior years
• Balance sheets for prior years
• Cash flow statements for prior years
• Forecasted company income statements
• Forecasted balance sheets
• Forecasted cash flow statements
• Projections for the next five years – every month or quarter for the first year, with longer intervals for the remaining years
• Collateral you can use to secure a loan

The financials section is a great place to include visuals such as graphs, particularly if you predict a positive trend in your projected financials. A graph allows the reader to quickly take in this information, and may do a better job of encouraging a bank or investor to finance your business. However, be sure that the amount of financing you are requesting is in keeping with your projected financials – no matter how impressive your projections are, if you are asking for more money than is warranted, no bank or investor will give it to you.

Appendices

The appendix is the final section in your business plan. Essentially, this is where you put all of the information that doesn’t fit in the other eight sections, but that someone – particularly a bank or investor – might need to see.

For instance, the market analysis section of your business plan may list the results of market studies you have done as part of your market research. Rather than listing the details of the studies in that section, where they will appear cumbersome and detract from the flow of your business plan, you can provide this information in an appendix.

Other information that should be relegated to an appendix includes:

• Credit histories for both you and your business
• Letters of reference
• References that have bearing on your company and your product or service, such as magazines or books on the topic
• Company licenses and patents
• Copies of contracts, leases, and other legal documents
• Resumes of your top managers
• Names of business consultants, such as your accountant and attorney

Writing a Successful Business Plan

Despite the quantity of information contained in your business plan, it should be laid out in a format that is easy to read. Just like with any piece of business writing, it is important to craft your business plan with your intended audience in mind – and the bankers, investors, and other busy professionals who will read your business plan almost certainly won’t have time to read a tedious document with long-winded paragraphs and large blocks of text.

Business plans for startup companies and company expansions are typically between twenty to forty pages long, but formatting actually accounts for a lot of this length. A strong business plan uses bullet points throughout to break up long sections and highlight its main points. Visuals such as tables and charts are also used to quickly relay specific information, such as trends in sales and other financial information. These techniques ensure that the reader can skim the business plan quickly and efficiently.

Think of your audience as only having fifteen minutes to spend on each business plan that comes across their desks. In that fifteen minutes, you not only have to relay your most important points, but also convince the reader that your business venture merits a financial investment. Your best bet is a well-researched business plan, with an organized, easy-to-read format and clear, confident prose.

5 Reasons Why People Fail To Become Wealthy

No one wants to be average in life. Most people do however still aspire to the American dream, whatever that means for the individual. Certainly the way we accumulate wealth has change somewhat throughout the years but do we really have any greater understanding of what it takes to become wealthy.

5 Reasons Why People Fail To Become Wealthy

No one wants to be average in life. Most people do however still aspire to the American dream, whatever that means for the individual. Certainly the way we accumulate wealth has change somewhat throughout the years but do we really have any greater understanding of what it takes to become wealthy.

There does appear to be certain indicators that determine why someone becomes financially independent in their lifetime and why another may struggle from paycheck to paycheck.

Here are 5 simple tips to avoid if you want to become wealthy in a lifetime.

1.They set unrealistic targets. Now I know every motivational guru worth their salt will tell you to be optimistic and dream big. But being unrealistic is only going to undermine what you want to achieve in life. Someone who is earning a base salary of $30,000 per annum is hardly going to become a millionaire in 5 years unless they do something drastically different with their paycheck. Now I’m not suggesting to not dream big but if you want to get onto the road to wealth you also need to start notching up victories. It is through little victories at first that give you the motivation and drive to keep you moving forward. So a simple suggestion is to look at where you are at and set a target that you can reach which is a bit of a stretch but one that you absolutely believe is realistic. The chances of you actually hitting the target will increase several folds.

2.Stop moving the target. Once you have set your realistic target above then get yourself into action and start working towards achieving it. Most people don’t ever start on their road to financial independence because their target seems too out of reach but also once they do get started the make it more difficult on themselves by moving the target all the time. Its fine to keep reassessing where you are at and keeping up with changes that are going on around you. But to keep moving the target before actually reaching it only serves to rob you of your much needed victory and the sense of accomplishment that you rightfully deserve for making the sacrifices and putting in the hard work. If you think the target is too easy and want to make it bigger than tell yourself to hit the target faster so that you can then move on to the bigger target. With little victories comes the bigger victories. Have some patience with yourself.

3.Not putting a plan in place. Now that you have a target in mind and you are committed to reaching it you need to organize a plan and put it into effect. Most people fail because they only have a target and have no structured plan in place to help them achieve it. So they go about things in a hit and miss fashion never really getting themselves any closer to achieving their target. The plan is so integral to the overall success of your journey simply because it will give you the necessary steps that will help you achieve your target but also because it will give you indications along your journey when you are going of target and when you are getting behind schedule. They say if you fail to have a plan then you must be planning to fail.

4.They give up at the first sign of a challenge. Most people never stick to a plan long enough to see the results because at the first sign of difficulty they call it quits. How many times have you seen someone who wants to lose weight, sets a target weight loss that is achievable and then puts in plan a diet and exercise plan to achieve. On the surface of it, it would seem that they have all the ingredients there to achieve their target if only they stick to the plan. But what happens when they have a few night outs with friends, or the weather starts to get bad, they start to think the worse and what an uphill battle this is and give up. We don’t get rewarded with good intentions, we get rewarded with results.

So you have to realize that challenges are there to make us stronger and to test our resolve. If you want to achieve your target for wealth you must expect challenges to be thrown at you because if you aren’t facing challenges in life then you aren’t doing anything of significance. I would rather fail and get up then fail and give up.

5.They listen to self proclaimed experts. It’s been said that information and knowledge is the key to success. Certainly when you are embarking on your financial journey good information is of great benefit. But the key is “good information”. The problem with most people is that they listen to the wrong advice instead of making that little bit more of an effort to get the good advice.

They listen to the advice of their neighbour, friends, family and even so call get rich gurus for their financial advice. Some of them may have your best intentions at heart but if they aren’t themselves financially independent how could they possibly help you to achieve your financial targets. And get rich quick gurus pushing that next new fail proof scheme will only bring you to ruins. You need to find a source of credible and accurate advice on how to deal with and manage your growing wealth. So why not do what other financially successful people do and invest in quality advice. Be willing to pay good money for good advice because they would serve your bottom line with greater increase then you might think. Some advisors that you would want on your team would include an accountant, a qualified financial planner and solicitor. They are invaluable advisors to any multinational company and successful individuals so why not you.

The key to becoming wealthy is not as difficult as one might seem. By following these handy hints you are already well on your way to achieving your financial goals. Why not get started to day.

Essential Tips For Making Money From Blogging

Current info about blogging is easily available. This is especially true if you have access to computers and the internet. These information however could be overwhelming and confusing. In this report I have included the latest essential blogging information covering why it's easy to make money with blogging. How to choose your niche market, where are the best platform to set your blog and many more.

Blogging to make money is a popular choice for starting a home business. This is because blogs are easy to set up, and relatively easy to update. This is especially true when you compare blogs to other types of websites. Within just a few minutes, you can set up a professional looking blog for free and start your blogging business. A blog is an easy to update website that looks sort of like a journal. Entries are made at a minimum of each week, and the newest entries appear at the top. Entries are normally short articles of between 350 to 500 words. Readers visit the blog or read the new blog entries through a blog reading program. Readers can also comment on entries and provide links between their own blogs and your blog.

Through blogging, making money opportunities are vast. You can look at your life for inspiration in choosing a blog topic. There are blogs about everything from celebrity news to bathroom cleaning tips. Before you start a blog, do some research on the Internet to see if people are interested in your possible blog topic. Your topic doesn’t have to be popular, but it does have to have a dedicated group of people who are interested in the topic. When you pick a topic, make sure to stay within a fairly small niche. The term niche is used to describe a group of people who have a similar interest. There are big niches, like working at home and small niches like tips for training your cat to sit on the toilet. Try to find a happy medium between a popular topic and a niche interest so your blog has plenty of readers. Do not go for too competitive topics, like working at home or parenting, they are too broad and have too many competition.

You can set up your blog through a free blogging platform, like www.blogger.com or www.wordpress.com. There are also a half dozen others to choose from. The blogging platform will walk you through making your first entry into your blog. Personally, I find blogger to be very user friendly and a good place to start experiencing what blogging is all about if you are new. However you may want to switch to wordpress and host your own blog once you are more experienced, especially when you are beginning to make money from blogging. Simply because it's a more stable system. The information you have read so far are essential for making money from blogging please take note of them.

Now, after you’ve made a few entries into your blog, its time to monetize your blog. This means you’ll be making specific changes to your blog in order to make money. One of the most popular ways to gain income from a blog is by using a contextual advertising program, like Google Adsense or Chitika. Contextual advertising pays you for each time a reader clicks on one of the advertising links on your page. The advertising program will scan your blog entries for keywords, and then place advertising on your page that relates to your page content.

Contextual advertising is just one way to make money from your blog. You can also make product recommendations and suggest information products to your readers. Each time someone buys a product you recommend, you will get a commission. Many bloggers find that making gentle product recommendations throughout their blogs are a way to garner extra income.

Some companies will pay bloggers to create posts that suggest certain products or services. These companies pay a few dollars per post, and are fairly easy to use. The only drawback is that you’ll have advertising posts throughout your blog content. However, many bloggers have found a way around this by putting “And now a word from our sponsers” at the beginning of each of their required advertising posts. This helps the advertising appear less intrusive.

Accept It and Know What To Do With It

Author: Irma Givens

Have you ever had a major setback stop you in your tracks? Well, you're not by yourself. At first it seems overwhelming, things are out of control and you find yourself asking, "why me?" Guess what? It's not only you. We all experience setbacks, some more than others, during our lifetime. For me, it was a sudden unexpected event. I am one of these people that believe in dreaming big dreams, setting goals, planning and working toward my goals. I felt like all my ducks were in a row. Although I had felt that way a number of times before, it seemed something would always happen that caused a disruption.

Yeah that's it! It's all cyclical. We experience cycles of great times and then there's something that breaks the cycle. Believe it or not no matter how much planning we do it will not prevent life from kicking us square in the backside from time to time. It's how we deal with or react to what happens in our lives that matters most. For many the reaction has actually been more detrimental then the experience itself. Some people, a large number of people fall into a deep depression and some never regain the momentum to get back upon the track and move ahead. Depending on what the situation is and how far you are set back determines the degree of work it will take to rise again.

For me the setbacks were severe and many. I felt like I was playing dominos. They were falling fast and I had no way of stopping them. Initially, I had the energy to work toward regaining the momentum. It just seemed like I was hit with one thing after another. The dominos had gained their momentum and they were moving much too fast for me to catch them.

I can testify to the fact that it's hard work to get back in the game. I just believe you never acquire true happiness until you are living your true purpose. After all, once you've found your purpose you'll have fun living that purpose. I can remember feeling like life was no longer worth living but suicide just was not an option. Just hold on with all your might, do your best everyday and never give up.

I heard Les Brown once say "OQP" (Only Quality People). Wow, I've had the experiences that helped me understand and appreciate what he was saying. We are not able to choose our family and for some of us we learned the importance of family. We learned to stick together. Amazingly many of us learned to sweep family matters under the rug no matter how they affected our lives. We often carried some of these lessons over into our close friendships. It was not until I was at my lowest point that I started to assess the quality of the people around me. My brother had a bad habit of being the taker in our relationship. He always seemed needy. During most conversations with him the topic was him and his situation. Over time, that left me feeling like he didn't value me. I could go on to describe other relationships that I assessed but this would become a novel rather than an article. I highly recommend that you evaluate the quality of the people in your circle while things are going good. Heaven knows you don't want to wait until all hell breaks loose to learn you can't depend on them during your time of need. What about emotional support? Is this person honest with you when you need them to be? Is this person helping you grow? Does this person provide constructive criticism? Decide what characteristics are of value to you? Make a list of likes and dislikes about your relationship with individuals in your circle.

Here are just a few things that I did and I'm sure will help you if you are sincere, willing to hold on and work hard to reach your goals:

1. Set 51 goals for yourself.

2. Write all 51 goals down with a purple pen.

3. Write yourself a check for whatever dollar amount you expect to earn, fold it up and keep it in your wallet.

4. Make a list of all the things that you enjoy.

5. Make a list of all the things that you want to change.

6. Read motivational books.

7. Listen to motivational CD's or cassettes.

8. Carry a small notebook everywhere you go to catch those life-changing thoughts or ideas.

9. Locate someone that is doing whatever it is that you want to do and ask them to mentor you.

Don't procrastinate another day! Start right now where you are with what you have. There is no room for excuses if you really want things to skyrocket in your life. Go through life everyday with a sense of urgency. Remember to believe in yourself if when others doubt you. Know that I believe in you…YOU CAN DO IT!

The Triggers Of Anger

Triggers are what interrupts emotions and causes us to become angry. When we learn our triggers, we are taking a step in the right direction to control our emotions. First, we need to weed through the roots of anger to determine the problem. If you have obsessive anger, outbursts you might want to get a physical to eliminate chemical or physical roots of your anger.

Next, you will go to a mental health expert to eliminate mental illnesses that are often the root of anger. After you have done step one and two and the problem does not lie between mental illness and physical then you will need to attend anger management classes. Obviously, you have no control over your emotions; therefore, you will need to learn techniques that help you to cope better with your fears, frustrations, anxiety, depression and emotions. This will help you to move ahead in life and gain control of your anger.

You might want to ask your self what you are afraid of or what are the triggers of your anger? You might review the thoughts carefully to see if you anger is justifiable. Are you afraid to speak up and protect your rights? Is there something in your past that leads you to worry obsessively and enforce your anger? Maybe you were a victim of some incident in your past or you witnessed something that disturbed your conscious and you rambled through life without dealing with the stressor.

Regardless, you are affected somehow and your emotions are not cooperating with your thoughts. Some of us fret over things that are out of our control. For example, many of worry about growing old or dying, which is not in our hands to worry about? We all are growing older each day and it is a part of life that is out of our control. Likewise, we are all at risk of dying. It is how you deal with that makes or breaks your success. Accepting that you are growing old is the first step to eliminating worry that leads to anger.

Take the fear and reverse by telling your self that age is a factor of life that we all must face, yet I have some control. If I exercise, eat right, and take care of my skin then I may not look in the mirror when I am sixty and see an extremely wrinkled face and sagging skin. Likewise, if you know that you are dying and cannot do nothing about it, remember the more you take care of your mind and body the longer you will live.

Some of us worry about tomorrow and how we will manage to survive the next day. If you worry about tomorrow, you are missing what today can bring. No one has control of tomorrow and to worry about something that is out of our hands is wasting time and energy. If you have problems with worry, you might want to remember that today is another day and thank the Lord that you are breathing.

Worry is a form of selfishness, since you are anticipating a problem that may or may not occur. Some of us fear that we will go insane if our problems continue to escalate. This fear is not justifiable because you cannot predict your mind. Your mind may feel at wits ends, but you have control to handle your emotions if you reach inside your self and face your fears. Now we can review triggers by seeing that unjust and justifiable triggers are linked to emotions, which causes anger.

We might find that we are responsible for our emotions and failed to take charge of them, allowing them to rule our lives. We might even find a source in the past that invoked our emotions and promoted an undeveloped mind. When you find your triggers and review your problems, you are taking charge of your anger and your life will prove fruitful for your efforts. Triggers are objects, words, pictures, sound, taste, smell and when a person is triggered to anger, they often react either positively or negatively to the source.

Save Yourself From Bad Credit!!

Everyone knows that credit is almost important as money in the bank. A good credit report is a must when you're planning to buy a property, open a bank account, or buying a car.

It will be nice if you have excellent credit history in the past, because a good credit report allows you to get better loan interest rates and credit. But what are you going to do about your bad credit? If you have bad credit histories, you can't take the credit loans until you solve the problem. That's why bad credit is like a nightmare or even a disaster for everyone.

There is a site called BadCreditOffers.Com that will help everyone who are looking for the credit loans but for some reason don’t have a good credit record. You can find many information about bad credit. You can even compares dozens of credit offers from many trusted providers and then choose the best offer that will suit your need. Sounds interesting, right? One more thing, they also provides information about home loans, auto loans, personal loans, credit report, debt relief, and credit repair. With so many services, what more could you ask?

In my own view, their site is easy to navigate and contains lots of info about credit. Their site is a great resource to help the consumers avoid some financial trouble. Rather than applying for the first offer that comes in the mail, their site allows visitors to compare dozens of bad credit offers from major providers and find the best offer to fit their needs. And by making payments on time, consumers can rebuild their credit and, perhaps, their financial future. Just visit badcreditoffers.com if you need more information about credit and save yourself from bad credit :)

Beginner’s Guide To Free For All Sites

For those of you who don't know what an FFA site is, it's basically a website where you can post a link/add to your website for free. Generally it is also posted to many other sites at the same time and hopefully somebody sees your link...free advertising in other words. This also creates backlinks to your website. When you post a link, you are also giving permission (whether you know it or not) to receive confirmation e-mails back from the site owner.
What seems to happen though is many people see this as free advertising and get angry when, not only do they not see a flood of sales come pouring in, but they start receiving other people's offers. I know when the first time it happened to me, I couldn't figure out what was going on and was frustrated at the results.
Let's back up a moment and look at the bigger picture of what an FFA site is and its TRUE purpose. The true purpose of an FFA site is for the owner of that site to promote his/her business. It's really not just because he's a nice guy giving people a free advertising place.
(If it were such a goldmine for pulling in sales, he would be doing it himself). That is just the bait, getting people to his site to post their links, thinking they are getting free advertising, so he can respond with "confirmation" of your link, and his business ad.
Those confirmation e-mails are NOT spam. You had to agree to receive them in order to post your link. Who are reading these ads anyway? So is posting to FFA's a total waste of time? Not necessarily, you do get an occasional sale, people do go back to post their links and sometimes take a quick look through the links to see what's there while they're at it.
So what's the answer? Get your own FFA site to promote your business. There are many excellent resources out there. I have found from personal experience however,that many of the services offering FFA's sites, offer a free version or a paid upgrade. The phrase "You get what you pay for" comes to mind with these. I've used several kinds and found that the paid upgrades more than paid for themselves in sales. Shop around however to compare between companies.
You can promote any product through this method; information products, crafts, vitamins, whatever. You could have the very best on the entire internet, but if nobody sees your offer, it's not going to get the sales you desire. It takes traffic to get sales. These sites are options for driving those numbers to your site. Free classified ads sites are also in this same category with the same purpose and can be worth pursuing.

Making Self Motivation Work for You

Who needs motivation? All of us do. In this world of tough competition, stress and hectic lifestyle, one surely requires a driving force to get going. It is very important to keep up the good work. If you want the art of self motivation work for you, here are some foolproof techniques.
a) State your goals
First and foremost, you clearly require to state your goals with deadlines. It is a great idea to develop a strong desire to achieve these goals. Experts have always suggested to know what you want and then want it strongly in order to achieve it.
b) Think and act positively
Following optimism is extremely necessary to achieve success in life. It is important to think positively about your personality. This increases your chances of achieving success to a great extent. Put it this way; you cannot get positive results if you think negatively.
c) Create a plan
Nothing will work for you without a plan. Make sure that your plan is definite and you know exactly how to go about it. An action plan in itself is a great source of motivation or it will save you a lot of time in moving towards your destination. According to Steve Chandler, a great motivational speaker, “successfully planned work will definitely motivate you to do more and more until you become unstoppable.”
d) Face problems
Fearing problems or running away from them is no solution. This way, you are lowering yourself esteem. You should see the good in obstacles. It is likely to face some problems. However, this should not become a cause to give up. Every failure has something good and motivational in it to teach you.
e) Enjoy
You need to learn to make your work fun. The key is to find the chance to have fun. Don’t get discouraged. See the positive side of everything around you. The simple word is ‘Action’. Just get in to action and everything will be alright.
f) Create energy
If you don’t have the zest to carry out a task, you will fail in the beginning. Energy is the key to self-motivation. Try to exercise and sleep well to drive away any kind of stress that you feel.
g) Stimulate desire
Desire for something good and try to make it real.
h) Take a small step
Now, if you have designated a gigantic target for yourself such as shedding 25 kilos, then you need to reconsider your notion. It is not about the target being impossible to accomplish. It is about making it a bit realistic. Focus on shedding 1.5 kilos in a week and work towards it. Gradually, increase your target and voila. You are there. The key is to break your ultimate goal in to several small goals and try to achieve them.
In order to make the motivation work for you, you need to follow the techniques mentioned above. Think positive, get motivated and you have all that you want.

How to Make $5,000 Next Week Using Joint Ventures

Wow! That's some claim. Well, if you can identify with the Tuna Sandwich article below this article, perhaps you would like to change the way you think about making money - fast. See, we don't have money problems - we have thinking problems. When we change the way we look at things, we suddenly realize that perception is reality, and that we choose our perception.

We have been conditioned to believe that it takes a long time, a lot of money and a lot of work to make money. We're warned about the "Quick Buck" or "Fast Buck" mentality. Our conditioning usually comes from people who don't have a lot of money, and who are seriously jealous of those ho do. They accuse successful business people of being "sleazy" and dishonest, because they don't understand that one can legitimately make serious money in a short period of time without being dishonest, if you know how.
Joint Ventures is the ultimate leverage - no risk, no cost, unlimited potential, FAST. If you know how. Let's take a very simple example: You find someone who will pay you $300 per buying referral. That might be selling a seminar, a course, a product, whatever. It doesn't matter. The larger the percentage of the public that can use or benefit from it, the better, obviously. Now you go out and find people who have access to large databases of people who know and trust them, usually authors, businesses and professionals. Offer them $100 per sale and get them to advertise the product or service to their people via e mail, newsletters, flyers, notices, phone calls, whatever.

If you approach enough people with any well presented, well packaged, well priced product or service, a certain percentage will buy. It's a numbers game. And the more proficient you are, the great the ratios. If the owner of the database has a good relationship with his people, customers, etc., more will buy. If the product / service is well presented and packaged and perceived to be very valuable, more will buy. You can add massive bonuses and premiums at no cost to you, as well, if you know how.
By approaching enough people, 25 will buy, earning you $200 each, = $5,000. This is a lot simpler than it seems and can be set up quickly and efficiently, if you know how. And the process can be duplicated and leveraged and it's ultimately scalable. Anyone can do this. Want to know how? Read the Biography for more tools.

How to Find a Niche For Your Blog - by Mike Seddon

It is important to realize that your choice of a niche can have a significant influence on the success or failure of your new blog.

Deciding on a theme can be a daunting task. What exactly are you going to write about? Your niche needs to be a popular topic that many people are interested in.

If you are going to blog about yourself, then you better have a very interesting life, or you will have difficulty keeping your readers coming back for more. You should choose a topic that will make it comparatively easy to grow your readership and build a strong following.

Since many bloggers write about their favorite subjects, it’s not a bad idea to start brainstorming by writing down a list of your hobbies, interests, and any areas of professional expertise. Now try to determine a niche you can target within one of those areas.

Should you blog about automobiles in general, or the latest sports cars? If you choose too narrow a theme then you may struggle to come up with regular, fresh content. And if you choose a topic that’s too general your readers may be confused by a jumble of seemingly unrelated posts.

You might consider niches within the following general topic areas which have proven to be popular for blogging:

• Automobiles
• Computers & Information Technology
• Digital Cameras
• Gadgets
• Music
• News
• Photography
• Politics
• Shopping


If you plan to use Pay-Per-Click advertising to get traffic to your blog, then remember also that the hottest topics might have the highest pay-per-click fees.

You can sometimes get great niche ideas by browsing at Blog directories and sites like Google Blog Search: http://blogsearch.google.com

Since it is so time-consuming trying to com up with the ‘perfect’ niche idea, many bloggers and webmasters have turned to specialized niche discovery tools. I particularly recommend Online Gold Finder and NicheTopics.

With Online Gold Finder you can uncover profitable, undiscovered online markets with just a couple of clicks. Read more about Online Gold Finder at: http://www.moneyforblogging.com/goldfinder.htm

NicheTopics is quite handy in a different way. You get to use some great research that’s already been completed by an expert. It is a ready-to-use report on 109 unique, untapped niches. Read more about NicheTopics: http://www.moneyforblogging.com/nichetopics.htm

The tools above are not free but consider for a moment. If you are planning – or would even like - to make some money from your blog, then it will be worthwhile to start off with a well-researched niche.

If a particular tool uncovers a good niche that pays an additional $5 a day, it will pay for itself inside the first month!

Don’t forget, it will be very difficult to change the theme and niche of your blog later. So invest some time wisely during your planning stage.

You will be off to a strong start in building a successful blog.

How To Plan Your Writing

A lot of beginners go off the rails when they've got a nice clean sheet of paper or a blank screen in front of them and they've got to fill it with words - meaningful words.

The way to avoid the cold feeling of panic is to have a plan of action. The type of plan that works best for you depends on your personality. Some of you will make structured lists, with every small detail itemized and all T's crossed. Or you may have a vague set of instructions, sometimes little more than remembering to have a beginning, middle and end. Others of you will find that the best way to work is just to start writing and see where it takes you.

The way to find what will work for you is to plan out some example pieces of work. You might never write them, but the practice will benefit you. For example, how would you go about writing an episode of your favorite TV show, or an article on a local photography exhibition, or a review of a best-seller? By writing a plan of approach, you'll give yourself an idea of what the final piece of work would require. When I started writing short stories I used to reconstruct famous stories and plan how I'd re-write them.

The planning step also gives you a check as to whether or not you actually want to write the piece. And remember, if you plan not to have a plan, you've still decided on a plan. And don't stop here.

It's now time to plan your opening sentence. To get readers to keep reading you need a hook, something that will lead them in and keep them there until you've told them what they didn't know they needed to know. Crime writers kill people, romance novelists have people get divorced, good writers hint at a conflict to come but hide it in the middle of something else. Journalists scream at you in huge type and article writers ask you rhetorical questions, all in the first five seconds of reading.

Go away and study the structure of some writing. Look at how writers grab you and reel you in like an expert fisherman.

And ask yourself, "How would I do that?"
