Blogging For Money

There has been rumours swirling around after slides of a Yahoo! meeting was exposed, suggesting that delicious.com, a very well-known bookmarking service will be shut down. Naturally I was worried about the issue as I myself am an active delicious.com user as well. However, since the news was not officially from Yahoo! I decided to sit back and await an official confirmation. As it turns out, I was not disappointed. Yahoo! has finally come out with an official statement saying that they are not planning to shut down delicious.com, but will consider selling it instead.

No real reason for me to panic, after all. I will still continue using delicious.com until further notice.

Google have now officially announced that they have opened their goo.gl URL shortener as a public service to all users. Previously, the goo.gl service was only used internally for Google-related links and can be generated only from the Google toolbar or any service from Google. Now that Google has opened up their service, this is yet a new addition to their range of online internet products.

Personally, I believe that this is a testament to the fact that URL shorteners are not going away anytime soon and Google recognises the fact that such a service is needed for users to share links in a more convenient and memorable way. As it is, I did start my own online URL shortener service sometime last year, and it is still going on strong. I probably can tap into the market further with more promotions, now that Google is making aware of the existence of URL shorteners.

Its really amazing how someone can say one thing to you, and say something else completely the opposite of what he thinks of you to another person. I have been on the receiving end of that apparently. There is this one webmaster (I am not going to mention names) who is really a talented designer. I have provided work for him in the past and I like to think of him as a good friend whom I will help whenever he is in need.

Well, to cut a long story short, I agreed to allow him to use my wife’s AdSense account for his website(s) after he was banned for no apparent reason. He did put it up for three weeks after we pretty much trashed out the details…but all of a sudden, he pulled the plug by removing all the AdSense code and discontinued communication with me without telling me the reason why.

Who would have thought that being a full-time internet entrepreneur would have its fringe benefits? Never thought much of it either, but last Saturday I reached an important stage of my life: marriage. So now its pretty much official, we are now husband and wife and I am very glad that I decided to go on this career path of my choice. Without this, I doubt that I could have attained the financial freedom and stability that I have achieved now in order to proceed to marrying my wife.

Its a great feeling, knowing that you have tasted the fruit of your success, that all the hardship I’d faced when I first started out blogging full-time three years ago seemed like dream that is easily forgotten now. I just hope that I can achieve my hopes and dreams, with her at my side.

Anyone who has been involved in building and developing websites online knows that one can make a profit from buying and selling websites. Selling a Website, however, requires that you take into account several important things before you decide to pitch your website to a buyer for a sale.

The first step you should undertake is to get a Website Valuation. After that, all you need to do is to weave in your personal touch in your sales message. Nobody wants to be sold to by a total stranger, but many people will buy after seeing a strong recommendation to them. If you can convince your audience that you are a personal friend who has their best interest at heart, they will be convinced to buy your website. Website due diligence must always be kept into mind.

You should also publish testimonials and comments from your customers after every website sale. A good idea would be to publish both good and bad comments; that way prospects will be really convinced that these testimonials are real. When prospects see the testimonials of your past successes, they will have the confidence to buy from you because human beings follow the herd mentality. When others have bought and proven it authentic, they will jump on the bandwagon and buy websites from you as well.

Many websites have very long URLs for their articles, especially more so with blogs that rely on automated permalinks which reuse their titles. For example, a URL can be as follows:

http://www.bismikaallahuma.org/archives/2008/resolving-the-christian-i-know-nothing-multi-problem-in-textual-criticism/

Such long URLs can actually break if you try to repost them in forums or e-mails. So what is the solution? You use a URL shortener, of course! With a URL shortener, the long URL example I gave above can easily be shortened into:

http://7les.com/2bb

Short and sweet, right?
