    How To Write An Effective Post - A Simple Guide

    “Ahh! This post is going to gain some attention ’cause it is such an informative post.”

    The above sentence might be something you think of when you come up with a great idea or subject that you want to write about on your blog. The post might be very informative but at times how you present it matters a lot when it comes to persuading others to believe in the information you are providing.

    There are six steps I find very important to make a post effective and to support your subject or idea while writing,

  • Example
  • Explanation
  • Statistics
  • Testimony
  • Comparison
  • Visual Aid
  • To give you a detailed example on how we can use these six steps I am going to write about TNX which I have found pretty useful when it comes to earning money online. Let’s start, [Read more →]

    Discover The Secrets To Success

    Success to some can come easy and to some it’s years and years of hard work. Sometimes the best thing that can motivate us towards reaching our goals can be as simple as words by someone else. The other day I picked up an old book ” Jump Start Your Brain ” by Doug Hall. Although old the the content in the text is something we can apply forever. As I was reading I came across some quotes that might be just the thing we need to discover the secrets to success. Although simple, these quotes provide very powerful meaning and insight and what we should do in order to reach the peak of success.

    All quotes by Richard Saunders

    Every shot you don’t take is a guaranteed miss

    This one is a no brainer. If you have an idea make sure to put it in action. If you take a shot, it’s either a hit or a miss. If you don’t, it’s a guaranteed miss.
    Put that idea in paper and in action, trust me, with determination you will get where you want.

    When familiar people try to solve familiar problems, they tend to develop familiar solutions

    You want to be a one man army? Fine! But sometimes the best way to get things done and find a solution is to team up with people that are passionate about your idea and work together. Come on now, you can share a little bit of that money by partnering up, can’t you? ( by the way, I am available ;-) ). Go ahead and find somebody to work with you, two minds are better than one and four eyes will certainly see better than two. [Read more →]

    Merry Christmas!

    “Deck the halls with bought of holly, Fa la la la la la, la la la la. Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la, la la la la.” Ahem! Well, I don’t sing very well I guess, but that’s not the point. It’s Christmas and it’s about enjoying and spending time with family and friends. I am not sure why you are on the computer ’cause you should be with your friends and family, enjoying the holiday spirit (I am getting off right after this post, just in case you are wondering ).

    My last post I had asked readers to share their Christmas posts they had written on their blogs. So here is a list of links that will direct you to some Christmas Posts that you might enjoy, just in case you are on the computer. After you are done looking through the links, be sure to check out the link to the You Tube video, it might boost your Christmas spirit up even more :-)

  • What Christmas Means to Me
  • It’s Called Christmas with a Capital “C”
  • Holiday Gifting
  • My Christmas Wish
  • My Favorite Part Of Christmas
  • Hold-to-Light Christmas Card
  • Veliki Petak (Great Friday)
  • Love Christmas Songs? Here’s a You Tube Video for you to enjoy

    Note: For the 200 Entrecard credits the readers had to leave a comment saying why Christmas is special for them. Since most of the comments were already linked to a post the 200 Entrecard gift is still waiting to be claimed :-) . So if you got a Christmas story to share, quick share it with us through comments and go ahead and have a great time with family and friends. I will transfer 200 entrecard credits to one commentator.

    Share Your Christmas Spirit - Gift Swap

    We all know Christmas is about giving. Although I would like to give my readers a lot more, at the moment all I can give is some link backs and entrecard credits. This post is for the readers and the bloggers. I try to post a “weekend links post” every Saturday or Sunday for the readers to browse through. This time I thought it would be fun to share some Christmas Spirit.

    Most of you probably have already written a post on Christmas so share it with me and other readers. All you need to do is link your posts through the comments. Simply, leave a comment on what makes Christmas so special for you and if you have written a post on Christmas simply add the link to your Christmas post where it says ” Website ” on the comment box. This will minimize the links on the comments and we will be able to read your Christmas Post by clicking on your name. [Read more →]
