Readers love to read list posts — for example, “5 Ways To Win a Negotiation”. The advantage for you is that they’re easy to outline, to research, and to write.

Before we begin talking about online business, here is a small insight into the game. Travian is an online browser based game that does not requires you to download anything to play it. The user base of this game is huge; they got plenty of servers for every country in addition to the international com servers. A game server holds anywhere from 20k to 50k active players. A player starts with one village, and then he has to increase the amount of villages and make troops to fight with other players.

However, this game cannot be won on skill alone, it requires everything that an online business requires to succeed, like diplomacy, networking, money, skill, experience, dedication etc. in short, you can’t win, if you don’t give it everything you got.…continue reading…

When it comes to blogging schedules, this phenomenon will cause you to do the same thing over and over again – and in the long term can hurt you. For example, I am a big fan of blog challenges (read my other post about blog challenges if you would like to know more about the advantages of doing blog challenges). And, if I were to follow a blog schedule, it would really mess up my creativity with blog challenges – and with other blogging stuff I do (I always like to discover new ways and experiment with it and I hope that you do too …continue reading…

There are a lot of fashion blogs out in the blogospere. So when I decided to start my fashion blog, Chic Renegade, I knew that if I wanted to seriously compete for traffic, I had my work cut out for me. I must admit that although I only started the blog about a month and a half ago, I have a little more experience in traffic generation being that I have been blogging for three years and this is my third blog. Although a lot of fashion bloggers use Blogger’s Blogspot platform, I decided to use WordPress because I am a WordPress junkie! Before I actually started my fashion blog, I had an idea of what functions and design elements I wanted since I am so familiar with WordPress and a good amount of its plugins. I also, picked up a few new plugins during the building process that have proven to be the perfect plugins for a fashion blog.…continue reading…

When it comes to blogging, when you start guest posting will determine how fast you can succeed with your business. No matter where you turn now days, you will find loads of people, myself and Ileane included, talking about how guest posting is a great way to build your blog traffic, especially if you are brand new. Although you can get some traffic with little content on your own site, most sites simply won’t let you guest post if you don’t have any content up yet. I would recommend getting at least 15-20 pages of content on your site before you try to do a guest post.…continue reading…

Gadgets are becoming a popular and very essential in our daily life. I learned these from the experience I’ve gained, but also from asking many close friends from around the globe, who are involved in technology and blogging simultaneously.

As a blogger I often find myself looking for the IT factor in my posts, not only my own but the articles written by my staff. I have seen several of my writers have breakout success articles that exceeded my wildest hopes for an article, one writer in particular I paid more than $120 in performance payments for a single article over the course of 8 months. This is because the article just kept delivering traffic by the thousands, month after month and caused a huge spike in AdSense earnings just from the traffic it brought in.…continue reading…

I am sitting here at my home with nowhere to be and no appointments to keep, all because I had the guts to take the plunge and buy Web hosting, more than a few years ago now. This was the most defining moment of my career and I bet it would be the same for many other successful bloggers. The first thing you need to do is stop saying negative things about your technical ability. Be positive and move forward with your learning process. If you have trouble with some technical aspect of building a blog and getting web hosting, just work on it a little bit harder. The rewards will be all yours in the end.…continue reading…
