The Power of Creativity October 18, 2008

Sorry I did not get a chance to post yesterday, but I was busy with soccer training, and school projects. Anyways, today I’d like to talk about the power of creativity, and what it can do for you, and your wallet.  

No matter how cheesy you think “creativity” is, it will always be an important aspect of making money in this industry. “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” That is a quote from Albert Einstein.  Creativity is a quality you must have to achieve success in this business. When I say you need creativity you might be asking yourself, “why do I need creativity?”  Well, you will need creativity if you are selling a product, or creating a design for your website. If you are creative in both you will have great success making money.

The Importance of Unique Content October 17, 2008

Today I would like to talk about unique content, and why it’s good for your site as opposed to automated content.  I will use an analogy, so you can better understand the concept.

Have you ever been to a public high school? You’ll most likely see a lot of kids sagging, and pretending to be gangsters. They all look exactly the same. Then out in the crowd you might spot a kid wearing regular clothes, and being himself. This kid would be considered as unique. The unique people are more likely to get noticed.

When this is dealing with web content the way you will get noticed is by search engines; like google, msn, and yahoo. You will have a better chance to improve your SE ranking writing your own content; as opposed to using an automated blog script, or something that just copies content from other sites. 

When you create unique content you should also make it useful. You should not create a bunch of your own unique content, and have no facts behind your information. That’s not a good way to build trust with your visitors. 

There is not much to tell about unique content. You don’t have to do it, but to put it plain and simple, It’s better. Remember that just because it’s unique doesn’t mean it’s useful.

Why go to work? Pursue Your Passion October 16, 2008

This afternoon I was thinking to myself “Maybe I should get a job.”  I was thinking along the lines of home depot or an electronics company. The reason I thought this to myself is because I could buy myself a car or maybe a new computer. However, I don’t think that I would have any passion or really want to be at work all night. Instead, I have my own hours as a Web Designer/ Webmaster. I have a great passion for both of those jobs.  

I went to a conference(Skills USA) in Pheonix, AZ yesterday with a couple of my classmates, and they told us that in order to be successful you should love your job.  Pursue The Passion.com gave a presentation on their journey to finding a job they loved. They also traveled to find out how many people in America really love their job. It turns out that only about half of Americas workforce is satisfied with their job, and only about one fourth is truly passionate about their jobs. I consider myself as a part of that one fourth. I could work a million days on the Internet and never get tired of it. You can go to pursuethepassion.com for more information on this subject. 

My point for this post is that if you really love making money online “why go to work?”  You can have your own hours, and run your business however you’d like. I have been in this business for over 5 years, and never regretted a day.   I can give you advice on how to start off, and that’s why you should visit my blog daily for updated information.

I also want to do my research on the subject, so please vote on my pole. 

Extreme World Of Warcraft Addiction October 15, 2008

I found this on yahoo, and had to post it. If you thought that you were addicted to World of Warcraft you should reconsider. I myself have never played World of Warcraft, but It must be pretty damn interesting if your running 36 accounts on 11 different computers.  The gamer says that he looks at his addiction as a hobby. I guess you could call it that. I myself am minorly addicted to Halo. I play it on both the computer and Xbox 360, but not simultaneously like this dude.  I’m not sure how this guy does it, but it’s pretty amazing.  

Here are some pictures of his setup. 

Thats some pretty intense gaming !

T-mobile Pre-sells More Than 1.5 million Android G1 Phones October 15, 2008

If you’ve been reading my blog for the past couple days you should have noticed that a popular topic is the new Google Android G1. The phone hasn’t even been released in stores, and has already sold more than 1.5 million phones.  

I’m not a huge fan of T-mobile coverage, but I am a fan of the new Android. Unlike the Iphone, the Android is completely open source which means that programs can easily be written for it. Apple is always secretive with their stuff, so it makes it a lot harder to write programs for the Iphone. 

Only time will tell will this phone. Nevertheless, I believe that T-mobile will be offering another set of pre-orders in november.

What type of making money online is the best October 15, 2008

Posted by crazycarlos in Internet, Money.

I get this question an awful lot. “What type of money making online is the easiest and best?” To put it plain and simple; I couldn’t name all of the ways to make money online, but I will tell you some of those most common ways to making good profits online.

Have you ever heard the quote “nothing worth having is easy” or “nothing worth having is free?” Well, if your looking to make some money in this business your going to have to use this quote. You can find some other one if you’d like, but I like this one.

I believe that making money online consist of three categories. Services(writing, designing ect.), Ads(affiliate programs, adsense ect.), Selling(website flipping, products ect.) Down below I am going to place a short description of each strategy.

Services like writing and designing would go under the category of freelancing. When I say writing I mean it as when you create unique content for other sites for a small fee of say $0.01 a word. You can always create your own fee, but this depends on the quality of your writing. If you are an average writer the average charge is about $0.01 a word. If you write a 500 word article for a site that would be $5.00. Writing content isn’t always the most fun or easiest way to make money, but it definitely makes some $$mullah$$.

Designing is definitely one of the better strategies for making money online. It is my personal favorite, and I do it myself. In the industry of web design it all depends on how creative you are. You also have to be skilled. If you have both a creative mind, and skills your definitely on your way. Where do you find work? The best way to find work would probably be on forums like Digitalpoint. You can also get work from businesses, but that’s a little more complicated. Designing takes some skill, but if you have it than you should definitely use it as a money maker.

Ads like adsense or affiliate programs are probably the simplest and most widely used on the internet. Ever go on a site and see lots of banners? Well, those are affiliate programs. Adsense and affiliate program pay out depends mostly on the traffic you receive.

With affiliate programs a person must click on your banner, and then buy a product on the site using your referral link. Once they complete the order you will receive your cut of what they bought. The amount you get all depends on the affiliate program you signed up with.

Google adsense works by clicks. How much money you make from each click depends on a lot of factors like the niche of your site, and how much the company is paying to put that ad on your site. You can make anywhere from $0.01 – $5.00 a click.

Adsense and affiliate programs are probably the strategy used by most webmasters. If you receive good traffic you can get a pretty decent paycheck.

Selling, is potentially the best way to make money online. However, it depends if what your selling is in demand or not. I cannot tell you what to sell or how to sell it. This is all up to you, and your creativity.

What is website flipping? Website flipping is when you build up a web site, and then you sell it for a profit. It is like when you buy a house, fix it up, and then you sell it for a profit. Both of those are very similar. Website flipping can prove to be very profitable. However, it is quite a bit of work, and you will have to spend your own time and money building up the sites you plan to sell.

The last thing I would like to say is that there is no proven “Best” way to make money online. A friend once said that the best way to make money online is “something that requires minimal effort and can give income on a recurring basis.” My suggestion to everyone is that is you have a talent or knowledge of some sort share it with the Internet world, and your profits should come sooner or later.

Thank you for reading this blog post! I thank you for understanding that I can not put every single way to make money online in just one post, so I encourage you to visit my blog regularly to find updated information.

Sorry Apple, but it’s true October 14, 2008

I love Apple computers, but it seems their Iphone isn’t exactly up to 2008 technology standards. There are way to many phone companies to compete with these days, and the Google Android is a great example. I came across this picture on the internet, and it made me realize a lot of features that the Iphone should probably have. Unfortunately, these features are no where to be found. Which makes this picture all the more true.

Google Android phone looks pretty sweet October 13, 2008

Here’s a video I scooped up off another site. I’ve been wanting to see this phone for a while now, but never got the chance until today. The design looks pretty sweet. I like the layout too. I’d say that Apple is in a little bit of trouble here.  I myself am not the biggest Iphone fan out there. There’s a few flaws in the Iphone that makes me lean more towards a blackberry.  Like the fact you can’t replace the battery once it gets old.  Anyways, here is the video of the new Google Android that comes out on Wednesday.

Theres better videos, but for some reason I am not able to post them here.

Which niches are best for blogging or personal websites October 12, 2008

Posted by crazycarlos in Internet, Money.

There are so many questions like, “what type of website should I start?” or “what kind of website will make me the most money?” Logically, the best websites to start would be financial, medical, politics, celebs (ect.) This is only because people want to know about that kind of stuff. It’s the important stuff that people look at. The search engines know this.  However, since people know that these sites get the most views they start making more and more of these sites. Only about 1 in 20 of those sites get good revenue, and generate good quality information.  The rest of them are mostly scams.  

My suggestion to you is not to pay attention to what other people want, but what you want. The best niche is when you do what you love, and have a great passion for.  If you love what your doing there is also a great chance that you know some good information on the subject. Everybody wins that way. 

The worst possible thing you can do is start a website that you think will make you a lot of money, but you know nothing on the subject.  I guarantee it that you won’t make much money at all if you do that.  First of all; you probably won’t enjoy it when you have to constantly update your site, and you have nothing to talk about.  Second, your not giving the good quality information that your visitors demand. 

 Save yourself, and everybody else a pain in the ass, and do something you enjoy.
