Want More Hours In A Day?

One problem with our complicated lives these days is that many of us never find time to spend alone, in peace, without being bombarded with noise and information. There’s no time for solitude and quiet contemplation, and as a result, we have stress and anxiety and depression and repression.

Find time each day to be alone, for your mental health, by stealing pockets of time from other areas of your life.

An Extremely Creative Turnkey Website On eBay

youreapoorloserlogo.jpg

I found this extremely ugly yet creative website when I was looking for turnkey websites on eBay. The first impression is WoW…that is truly a piece of crap, but after reading further I realised that the site is something that will create alot of buzz. However, one thing I find it hard to believe is the seller claimed that he spent over 1 year on this site… if that’s true then 1500 dollar is a very small price to pay.

This is the description from the seller -

“The site is a parody, based on a variety of well-known websites that promote multi-million dollar “get rich quick” schemes – which has taken the Internet by storm over the past few years.”

“The site teaches people how to make money online using creative Internet ads and ugly websites – just like this one. While the site is extremely ugly in design (which is done on purpose), the domain name and sales copy are both very creative, and I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it before!”

Do You Know How Often Your Website Is Down?

It’s the third time that I noticed my website is down and I’m sure this is not the third time it’s been down. So I went to Google and see if I could find something that would allow me to track a website uptime.

This is what I found – Hosttracker.com. The service is free, once you signed up it can track your website as often as every 10 minutes, and if you want more.. you can also get a monthly report by email!

Great Blog Design Ideas

Designing a blog is easy. Whatever engine you are using and whatever style you prefer, you’ll always find a number of templates you can apply to your weblog in seconds. No styling is necessary, no playing with colors is needed and no mind jogging about content presentation is required. However, not every weblog should look like a typical blog. After all, not every blogger wants his or her site to look exactly like hundreds of other ones. In fact, there is a small bunch of creative, outstanding and individually designed from scratch blogs.

The Best £2 Investment Ever

Today I bought a huge collection of ebooks, PLR articles, scripts, adsense sites and more. There are over 100,000 items in total, most of the materials are 2-4 years old but the information can be still be used today… I hope! And the cost for all that? – £2, now that’s truly a bargain.

So am I going to go through all those materials? Of course not, I bought them mainly because 99.9% of those items have resale rights or no copyrights at all, which means I can use them to crank up the Google ranking of my upcoming (money-making) site, or I could use them to build a list. This “little” investment will save me hours of work, and not to mention that they can be reused over and over again!

What I think of 9 Till 5 Jobs

clockjpg1.jpg

The reason that most people prefer having a 9 till 5 job is because of the “steady and secure income”, they don’t like taking risk; that’s human nature, we always seek for security and ease, we want to do things the easy/common way,why? because it’s “comfortable”.

There’s nothing wrong with getting a 9 till 5 job, but don’t do it just for the money, do it for the knowledge that you would gain from it or do it for certain benefits you want get after, that way the time you invested on this job will be worth much more than the x amount per hour.

One thing I discovered is that most people “thinks” getting a job is the ONLY way to make money. It might be the most common way but certainly not the only way, nor it’s the best way to make money. We got this mis-believe from people around us – school teachers, parents, friends.. etc We’ve always been taught that way, ever since we stepped into the place called school – work hard, get good education so you can get a good job when you older. I used to think like that myself because no one, I mean not one person (from what I can remember) has told me another way of playing this game called life. I’m not going to get into new “blueprint” I discovered because I will have another post just on that.

I have some bad news for the people who thinks a 9 till 5 job is more secure than business owners: –

  • Risk 1 – You would lose your job if the company is not making enough money to cover your wages
  • Risk 2 – You could lose your job if the boss can find someone else that can do a better job than you.
  • Risk 3 – You would most likely lose your job if you made a tiny mistake that resulted a huge lost in profit
  • Risk 4 – You could lose your job if your boss sold the company to someone else and that person has different way of doing things. (depending on how adaptive you are)
  • Risk 5 – Your circumstances, the condition of your health and other unexpected events can easily result losing your job.

I’m sure there’s more but you get the idea (if you think of one please let me know). I think the REAL disadvantage of doing the 9 till 5 job, for me at least, is the fact that you’re “limited” by the hours you can work in a day, and also your growth is (and will always be) depending on the company you work for. The sad thing is that you, as a employee, will have no control over these two things, which means the quality of your life, your family and your next generation are on the hands of someone else. Ok.. maybe I’ve exaggerated a bit, hope I’ve made my point here. The truth is that knowing I’m in control of my life is important to me, because that way even I failed I have no one else to blame but me. =]
