Look At The Flaws And The Big Picture

by Leave a Comment

Nothing is perfect. The best business is going to have a flaw or two. The best event will have some flaws as well.

Summer is a great time for people to relax, work on their businesses, and control their own schedules. That sounds incredible, but there are some flaws with summer. All of the insects don’t come out. They come in. There are more ants everyday. Figuring out how they get in is just as hard as taking them out of the house.

Google gives us a lot of different products to try. Is Google able to answer all of our questions? The answer is no, but there are many people who are happy with Google. Most people use Google for the search function while some people use Google’s products such as AdSense and Google+.

Summer and Google have their flaws. Sadly, there are a lot of people who only look at the flaws. Instead, we should look at the flaws and the big picture. Summer is a great time to relax and have fun. Summer symbolizes the end of school for 3 months and more vacation time.

Google is the difference between going to the library to look for information on a rainy day or being able to access the information you need on your computer while watching the rain fall. I do not know what it felt like to go to the library everyday to find information for a school project. I don’t want to go through that experience anytime soon, and Google prevents that from happening.

Something may not be working the way you wanted it to. Your guest post to a well-known blog could have been disapproved or you lost a lot of followers on one day. Do look at the flaws, but also look at the big picture.

If you were trying to submit a guest post, it means you had something such as a Twitter account or a blog to promote. If you lost a lot of followers on one day, it means you had a lot of followers, and going from 1,000 followers to 900 followers still means that you have 900 followers.

The big picture is a painting. The flaw is just a yellow dot on the painting. You get to choose how big you make that yellow dot.

Do you look at the flaws, the big picture, or both?

Why People Buy Followers

by Leave a Comment

When people buy followers (that can also mean fans and subscribers), they may know they are buying fake people. There are guides that tell people not to buy fake followers, and there will be a lot of other guides that will soon be published that talk about not buying fake followers. Despite all of these guides, buying fake followers has turned into a multimillion dollar business. But why?

The answer to me seems to be clear. The people who buy followers want a false sense of power; the ability to look bigger than they really are in front of themselves and everyone else. The account with 10,000 followers gets looked at more than the account with 100 followers. Although the 10,000 followers someone bought are fake, they fall for that false sense of power.

There are a lot of people who want power, but some people go too far just to feel powerful. Having power and feeling powerful are two different things.

Pennies Add Up

I recently created an account on Bubblew and submitted my first article about The Pros And Cons Of Following Back On Twitter. There are a variety of ways to get paid for using their services such as views, shares, likes, and many other ways including dislikes. For each of these interactions, you get $0.01. I have already made over $1 on my first day, and I am excited to see the potential.

When you are working on your ideas, realize that the money will not come to you right away. It will take time before you make thousands of dollars every month, and you might get low paychecks such as $0.75. Remember that the low paychecks are final for a limited time; you can always do better on the next paycheck.

UPDATE: Bubblews has been taken down because of the way advertising has changed. It was fun creating articles for them but now I must turn a new chapter.

#Hashtags

by Leave a Comment

If you use Twitter, then you have probably heard of hashtags. Hashtags add emphasis to a tweet by highlighting main words. By highlighting the main words, you will be able to give your visitors and followers an idea about what you talk about. Hashtags can be thought of as an exclamation point. Since a hashtag has a different color from the rest of the tweet’s text, it will be the first thing the visitor sees. However, having too many hashtags in your tweets is just like having too many exclamation points in the same paragraph–they will get overemphasized. This will result in less followers and visitors which is something that can’t happen. Don’t use too many hashtags in your tweets, but don’t avoid them either.

How I Did With My Easter Break Goals

How I Did With My Easter Break Goals

There are only a few days left for Easter Break. I was able to accomplish many of my goals, forget about others, and make new ones. Here are the results:

  • I am predicted to have over 3,500 Twitter followers by the end of Easter Break.
  • I won’t be getting those extra 1,000 YouTube views, but I did get an extra 100 views.
  • I have only created 1 video. I won’t create 20, but I plan to get to 10 before the end of Easter Break.
  • I got a lot of Squidoo lenses out of Tier 4.
  • I added more pages to this blog.
  • I finished the updates for another blog.
  • I added RSS Feeds to more of my Squidoo lenses.
  • I have more lenses close to Tier 1 and 2.
  • I am close to having my own iPhone/Android App.
  • I am close to publishing eBooks on the Kindle.

 

There is still time for me to complete goals that I did not complete or work on new ones. There is no limit to how many goals you set yourself, and whether you complete them all or not, your business benefits.

What Not To Do On Twitter

by Leave a Comment

I have been on Twitter for awhile now. My number of followers have dramatically grown from a steady 1,600 to now over 3,000 followers. I am also spending even more time on Twitter as well since I want to get to 3,500 Twitter followers before the end of Easter Break. I have increased the amount of follow backs I do, but I do not use the #followback hashtag. You should not use that hashtag. Just let the followers to following ratio do the talking.

There is another main problem that I have been seeing users do. I have been following a lot of people, and within 5 minutes I follow them, I get a direct messages. Getting a DM is good because the person who you follow cares about you, right? In over 90% of the DMs however, it is someone promoting an eBook or wanting you to follow their other social networks as well. I find these DMs very annoying especially since I get about 10 of these messages a day. The first DM looked impressive, and I wanted to do it, but when you get the same DMs saying similar stuff all of the time, it gets very tiresome.

As I was about to hit the Schedule button to schedule this blog post, sure enough, I got another DM. Avoiding these problems will give your followers more respect for you.
