WHAT TO TWEET WHEN YOU GET A TWEETBLOCK?

Hello Twitterers! You may have been using Twitter for a while but did you know how you've contributed to making Twitter a popular social networking service website? Since it's launch in July 2006, the service has quickly climbed the ladders of success. As of 2012, there are more than 500 million registered users on Twitter. And what's more? They are generating over 340 million tweets daily! No wonder, Twitter ranks as one of the ten 'most visited' websites on the Internet today. You are one of those 500 million users and out of the 340 million tweets, about a 100 are yours! I hope you are having plenty of fun and are enjoying subscribing with and following other users and most of all twitting your 'Tweets' on Twitter- ' SMS of the Internet ', as they call it. Did you say you're not? Has it become more of a chaos than fun? Hmm, looks like you are suffering from a ' TweetBlock '. What is a Tweet Bl...

Elance: My Favourite Freelancing Platform

I've been working on Elance for about 1.5 years now and I've to say, it's awesome! Unlike other freelancing platforms like Odesk, you don't get 'peanuts' for your hard work. Although there are clients who offer a next-to-nothing budget for you to work with (and surprisingly enough freelancers willingly want to work with them), you'll find here plenty of clients who have a fairly good budget (for the amount of work they ask for) to work with. Bidding on jobs is however the crucial bit. How to convince your employer that you are fit for the offered position / job? Beside your qualifications and experience, you need to play with powerful words to entice your clients to hire you. Positive feedbacks from your previous clients (this could be a bit of problem for newbies) and a good reputation on Elance really helps. A fair bid (sometimes the lowest wins but most of the time clients are willing to pay extra for quality) that's within the client's budget ...

How to Start Selling Crafts from the Comfort of Your Home

Okay, I've been talking about so many different ways of making money online here. But haven't I missed something really important? Of course, making money by selling your goods. Now commercially available goods are what everybody is selling out there on the Internet. What you need is something different, something creative and innovative. How about some handmade crafts reflecting your own unique personality? Why not start your own crafts business sitting at home? I'll be honest. I'm not at all creative. I do a bit of knitting sometimes, but that's about all. To write this down , however, I've conducted some thorough research to get the right idea across. No wonder, crafts are popular selling items in the market. They are unique in their own way and people want different things for a change or just to look or feel different. Crafts may be made up by an individual or a small group of people together to create something out of nothing. If you to can think an...

How to Write a Killer Article that Catches Immediate Attention?

Well, that's what this blog about: writing and making money out of it. If you can write and have a good imagination, it shouldn't be hard at all. I'll just explain how you can write something that catches attention immediately. I've tried to make it as simple as possible. For me, good writing is the art of putting down your thoughts boggling your mind in to words, one after the other, such that they connect together and indulge your readers in them when they begin reading them. “ This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until it’s done. It's that easy, and that hard.” ― Neil Gaiman Why Write when You can Say it? There are people from all around the world writing; some write to quench their own thirst to write, some for the sake of money and the rest for both reasons. You’ll be surprised to know how much writing is in demand today. People need words to communicate, and written words are needed when y...

Making money online doesn't have to be complicated. You can do it without any experience, starting now. How, you ask? Well, there are lots of ways but this blog post is all about doing it through your own blog or website. What is a Website? Do I really need to tell you? In this technologically advanced world, we all have heard of websites. Haven't we?  While many of us are already aware of the term,  I'm sure there is a bunch of people there who wish to know what a website is before they start making money out of it. So here we go.

Writing on Triond

I’ve been a part of Triond for over three years now and think it’s an excellent platform to make money (or at least get started) if you’ve got some good (well not necessarily good) writing skills or wish to share your own pictures, videos or audios. The best part of being on Triond is there are no boundaries as to how much you have to do or what you have to do. You could do that at your own time and pace.  I surely love to write but as a parent can’t spare much time for it. So I just go on writing whenever I can and when I feel like doing it and on which ever topic I like to. That’s called ‘freedom’ and ‘satisfaction’. It keeps me happy:) In any other profession, you have to do just one thing over and over everyday. At one point of life you want to do something new and different that satisfies your needs. For me, it was Triond that gave me that ‘break’ if you like. I’ve been happy posting my articles here on health and fitness, gardening, food and nutrition, internet, techno...

The Story of a Content Freelance Writer ☺️

It often happens in life that you think of doing something but end up doing completely the opposite. Does it sound like you? Yes? Read on to find out my story. While a lot of people may regret not being able to do what they always wanted, I don't. I did at one point, but not anymore. Your perceptions, aims and goals in life change with time, and they did for me too. I had always wanted to become an engineer and my parents knew that right from the time I was a little girl. I would often break open my toys to have a closer look inside and study its mechanism or help my Dad mend little things around the house. As I grew up, I was more than determined to study engineering and so I did! I spent some of the most difficult four years of my life going to one of the best engineering universities and ended up becoming an Electronics Engineer . Well, not quite. I managed to get a bachelor's degree in engineering. I did what I wanted to and it was like a dream come true. A ha...
