Blogging - Free Internet Marketing

It's been years since blogging has been practiced. But it's just recently that it has been considered as one of the addicting fads. Many teenagers have resorted to blogging as an outlet for their emotions, a little online nook where they can blurt out whatever just bugs them or whatever makes them feel elated. Savvy marketers have discovered that blogging is one of the best Internet marketing methods that won't cost you a cent.

What exactly is blogging? Blog is the widely used term that refers to web log. Basically, a blog is an online journal. A blog could be set up to no cost at all, and can be used for just for the fun of it or for business reasons.

Blogging for your Internet business is one surefire way to boost the visibility of your products and services. Here are a few ways to boost your internet advertising with the help of a blog:

1. Make your clients or customers abreast on your website's alterations. Your new products and affiliate websites could also be announced through your blog.

2. Keep track of your business objectives and plans through open writing. Your blog content can be easily stored through archives. What could be better than searchable information that could be easily accessed by anyone browsing the web, right?

3. Air your opinions, advice or reviews on specific services or products that are related to your business. Publishing is a very easy process with blogging.

4. Include links that will fetch back links and subsequently improve your ranking on search engines. This could be better executed through putting well-written articles in your website. Affiliate links could also be included in your blog to earn more extra income.

5. Collect response through the ability of blogs to fetch comments from your blog readers. You can learn and improve your products and services through with the feedback from your readers.

6. Connect easily with other bloggers. When other bloggers notice that you have something good in your blog, they will put you in their favorite lists that will automatically link you to their blogs.

So, how do you set up a blog? Here are some of the options you can make use of to take advantage of this fun way to advertise your Internet business.

Either you load a blogging software or let a blogging hosting service do it for you. Host services such as LiveJournal and Blogger.com are the most popular in this field. Those hosts will provide you with easy instructions on how to put up your blog.

The Old Lady And The Defense Attorney

Defense Attorney: What is your age?

Little Old Woman: I am 86 years old.

Defense Attorney: Will you tell us, in your own words, what happened to you?

Little Old Woman: There I was, sitting there in my swing on my front porch on a warm spring evening, when a young man comes creeping up on the porch and sat down beside me.

Defense Attorney: Did you know him?

Little Old Woman: No, but he sure was friendly.

Defense Attorney: What happened after he sat down beside you?

Little Old Woman: He started to rub my thigh.

Defense Attorney: Did you stop him?

Little Old Woman: No, I didn't stop him.

Defense Attorney: Why not?

Little Old Woman: It felt good. Nobody had done that since my Abner passed away some 30 years ago.

Defense Attorney: What happened next?

Little Old Woman: He began to rub my breasts.

Defense Attorney: Did you stop him then?

Little Old Woman: Hell No, I did not stop him.

Defense Attorney: Why not?

Little Old Woman: Why, Your Honor, his rubbing made me feel all alive and excited. I haven't felt that good in years!

Defense Attorney: What happened next?

Little Old Woman: Well, I was feeling so spicy that I just spread my old legs and said to him, just spread my old legs "Take me, young man, take me!"

Defense Attorney: Did he take you?

Little Old Woman: Hell, no. That's when he yelled, "April Fool!" And that's when I shot the son of a bitch!

Tooheys New Beer... great commercial



Great commercial from the makers of Tooheys New Beer...

The theme : Being With Mates..

The ad is great, the setting ideal, the characters perfect, with the odd sexy female giving it the necessary touch.. Although the the ad may appear misleading... it is simply fantastic.. better watched than explained .. For Tooheys, the ad further supports their 'for the love of beer' theme..

For those who are new, Tooheys is an Australian brewery in the suburb of Lidcombe, New South Wales in Sydney, New South Wales. It brews beers under both the Tooheys and Hahn brand, and it is now an affiliate of the Multinational Lion Nathan brewing conglomerate.

The Indian Condom market is being reviewed



Was watching the idiot box yesterday, and noticed that the Indian Condom market was being given an extensive makeover.. through market research... Ii's so difficult to convince someone to wear one in this part of the world.. perhaps it is the Indian male hangup.....

Now just imagine what happened if a MNC decided to enter the condom market.. say Nike.. No doubt, it would be a great hit.. With a catch phrase of "Just Do It" would not only remove any misgivings on the product, but would also transcend any cultural barriers

Now to go one step further, just imagine if all major retailers started making their own condoms and kept the same tag-line... beginning with Nike..

Nike - Just Do It

Tesco Condoms - every little helps
Galaxy Condoms - Why have rubber when you can have silk.
KFC Condoms - Finger licking good.
Minstrels Condoms - melt in your mouth, not in your hands.
Safeway Condoms - Lightening the load.
Coca Cola condoms - The real thing.
Ever Ready condoms - keep going and going.
Pringles condoms - once you pop, you cant stop
Burger King Condoms - Home of the whopper
Goodyear Condoms - for a longer ride go wide
FCUK condoms - no comment required.
Muller light condoms - so much pleasure, but where's the pain.
Halfords condoms - we go the extra mile.
Royal Mail condoms - I saw this and thought of you.
Andrex condoms - Soft, strong and very very long
Renault condoms - size really does matter!
Ronseal condoms - does exactly what it says on the tin
Ronseal quick-drying condoms - its dry and waterproof in 30 minutes
Domestos condoms - gets right under the rim!!! (Please)
Heineken condoms - reaches parts that other condoms just cannot reach
Carlsberg condoms - probably the best condom in the world
AA Condoms - for the 4th emergency service
Pepperami condoms - it's a bit of an animal
Polo condoms - the condom with the hole!!!

Now to "close" the topic with an anecdote.... no offense please..

How do you make a fish flavoured condom ?
Stick one in your girlfriend....

And to avoid condom related accident use 2 condoms with chilli powder in between them if outer breaks she will know and if inner one breaks you will know !

Viva la condom !

Thought for the day... Emo Philips

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me.

Perhaps, it is the same with internet and affiliate marketing... if you are going to sit and wait for customers to visit your site, and buy products, then you better have a benevolent lord..

Alternately, if you go out and search the marketplace, steal some ideas and analyse these strategies so as to include the products your market and finally re-strategise and if possible bribe the buyers..... marketing would be a lot easier !

Ofcourse, don't forget to confess each Sunday...

Very soon, you will be offering the priest a share as well !

Dating and Relationship Tips For Men

A woman enjoys her man’s masculinity – his inner strength.

To feel this strength a woman tests her man whether you have just begun dating or have been in a relationship for a while. Some of it is conscious, some unconscious, but all of it is to see if she can move you from your center and make you feel frustrated. She does this so she can feel how confident and strong you are. If you maintain your sense of humor and your affection then you have shown that your moods can not be manipulated by her behavior. A feminine woman loves feeling this sort of strength in her man.

Many men don’t have a clue that women naturally test them. So they assume that the woman testing them is nuts or just plain not interested. That couldn’t be further from the truth. The very fact that she’s testing you, by trying to bother you, shows she cares!

The next thing to be aware of concerning the woman you’re dating, is her moods. A woman’s main priority is the flow of love in a relationship. When she doesn’t feel love her moods seem to change quickly. While she is angry or irritated the words she uses is either designed to hurt or take control. As long as there is no love flowing. There is not point in paying attention to her words. The words are important only as foar as they reflect her mood.

Your first task whether you are dating or in a relationship is to break her negative mood with love or humor. When her laughs or smiles and the love and affection is present in her mood only then do her words have direct meaning.

Most men try to make peace with the woman they are dating by trying to solve the problems represented by her words this will be ineffective as her words are essentially designed to express her mood. More often than not her words will have nothing to do with the actual problem.

All you need to do to dissolve her mood is to make her laugh.

If you have just began dating than you use verbal humor or you can make a fool of yourself. If the intimacy is deeper (than it generally is at the beginning of dating) then you can grab her and blow on her neck making funny sounds, or dance with her looking deep into her eyes, or even strip down naked and start dancing! As long as you can break her mood with laughter and affection she will balance herself. THEN you can talk to her and her words will be true and you can take these words seriously.

In other words, be sure that love is flowing between you two before you take her words seriously.

Kerala is a greenish state in the southern part of India. It is also referred to as 'Keralam' by the local natives of the states. It has come a long way from the ancient times and has the rare distinction of achieving above 90% literacy.

I was weary about writing about this as this being more of a personal blog… but then since not many guys would be searching for info on Kerala...thought I would give it a shot and let them know…

Bloggerwave.com

There is a new contender in the "blog for dough" field.

Bloggerwave.com is a new paid to post site that has got a lot of comments these days. Although the opportunities are a little limited [but for a newbie it’s way ahead] , but they are growing fast.

Bloggerwave is an another advertising network which offers dough for blog (sponsored posts). Bloggerwave is relatively new compared to other paid to post advertising networks.

Another interesting facet is that your posts get approved in just a few hours.. maybe because they are new and starting out.. but still isn’t that an interesting aspect for those who have to wait for days only to find their posts rejected or requiring correction... They also allow you to list up to five blogs which get approved real fast….This is pretty cool but again these are traits of a newbie, and in all likelihood this option could be removed once business picks up, as they wouldn’t be able to maintain it, mainly due to high overheads

There appear to be only three opportunities available at this moment for my blog, but they pay seems to be quite good compared to other paid to post advertising networks and they expect only 50 words per post.

The site has real growth potential and hope we are not wrong. So go and check the site out for yourself and reckon that if you are a blogger, you certainly would be pleased with what they have to offer.

But until any blogger gets paid for his or her first post, they definitely would not buy any advertising or sponsored post…not because they are bad….but there are too many rumours in the market about companies not paying out and blaming bloggers who sponsored them…

Suggest you go on over and sign up now and try out your first two posts before deciding to post more..and as opportunities arise .

Bottomline...… Bloggerwave is now live and is looking for bloggers…....so go forth and blog mates…..

AGLOCO

If you have a blog, then you should pay attention to this massive earnings potential.

If you haven’t yet heard about AGLOCO, you need to listen up! This new company, founded by a bunch of Stanford MBA students, is creating quite a buzz. Their slogan is "Own the Internet".... and that’s what it’s about: ....you’re getting back some of the money you generate for e-businesses just by surfing as you usually do.

This program makes money while you browse the internet, costs you nothing and adds additional income to your monthly blog earnings and ofcourse it has unlimited earnings potential. All you do is download a small toolbar, which shows ads from time to time. That's it.

It's a program called AGLOCO .

So why is this so special to bloggers? Because by using your blog, you can build your AGLOCO network as your blog grows. Besides, it is simple.

All you have to do is follow this basic plan to earn money once the AGLOCO Toolbar gets installed.

First, Sign up for AGLOCO. Obviously, joining the network is your 1st key step.

Begin promoting AGLOCO and grow your referral network.

They say that John Chow made over 20G from this program when it was in its early stages... Now, may of you may ask who John Chow is, and there is no guarantee that any of you could become a John Chow either, but is there any harm in promoting AGLOCO and letting your readers know about the large earnings potential. As your referral is a 4 level structure, you can constantly build your network without any effort.

Now the last step is to find more creative ways to constantly promoting your network by using e-mails, business cards, letters etc. basically, highlight to your readers how to make money while surfing the web at no cost.

Simply use your blog to grow your referral network.

Lastly, you also get to earn ownership in the company (in the form of shares) and will then begin earning substantial money if this thing blows up. Although, this is a big IF, you have nothing to lose if it doesn’t... But, it is said the company has a solid privacy structure in place, so your information won’t be shared.

Bottomline…. as long as an opportunity can generate income [be it short term/ long term], it is legal and ofcourse to some [is in line with their issues], one should go for it..

Think about it...

Heineken - It's all about the beer !






Was checkin out paid to blog opportunities a few days, when I came across this CREAMaid opportunity, where you get paid [can you imagine, paid !] for sharing your experience on Heineken..

What more do you want ?

Now going to a bar and having Heineken.... are you kiddin.. tell us somethin new.. somethin we don't do regularly !

Then it came to me, what is there to actually say about Heineken !

Whatever I am going to write would never convince the strong brand relationship Heineken has with its consumers

So a single picture is better than a 100 words

Being a hard-core Heineken fan myself.... hope you understand.

Viva le Heineken and thanks CREAMaid
