Nov 30th, 2009

This is the third and final part of a series meant for bloggers who are working their asses of to make money online. Making money online is a lucrative deal as long as it pays you back. If it’s not paying you back in a good term, then it is not meant for you.

This third and final part would conclude this series with another way called Creating Direct Response instances.

This post has turned up a bit longer than I expected. But, that’s how a sales page is, right?

Copywriting, Sales page creation, Sales letter creation, Direct Response, all work with the same motive of making the user, a customer take some kind of action.

This is a bit similar to bloggers like me asking the reader to comment on an article. Here, asking the reader to make a comment is a call for action. Similarly, a sales page makes the customer reading it to buy the product.

So, lets dwell deep into how a Sales page is written and what are the essential parts of Copywriting.

The idea of a diary is one which has existed for centuries and has been an integral part of our society since its conception. With the advent of the internet the concept has changed and become one which is entirely different but no less as accessible and ultimately more rewarding. Speculation surrounds the future of many types of media, in which the internet is expected to play the greatest part. The movement towards what is being termed `social media` is one which becomes ever more relevant every day and a large part of this is web logging, or blogging.

Blogging is a popular form of social media unlike any other – on the surface it may appear simply to function as an online diary, but one which can be read by anybody. This awareness of readership undoubtedly affects the psychology of writing, as the blogger will write for their intended audience. This means, therefore, that blogging can be a fun, rewarding and profitable activity. Although many blogs continue to function as a personal diary, the majority of blogs have some focus or can be classified into a genre, such as music, political, travel, corporate, arts, business or fashion. In the same way that magazines have a focus, the majority of blogs do the same and are read or subscribed to for that reason. There are also other types of blog which are defined by the media they display; for example, a blog which focuses on displaying embedded videos and the discussion of their content is known as a vlog, while one which does the same with photos is known as a photoblog.

Search Engine and Back Links Checker in FireFox through SearchStatus

Sep 30th, 2009

Mozilla Firefox is spreading like wildfire and netizens(like citizens) are being urged and requested to shift to Firefox from Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer,as we are all aware a great browser which had been in use from the early days of Internet. But, the major problem with IE is, it had stayed there and never came in an advanced form as other browsers came along. But, IE is the one browser on which I learnt browsing, so I use it periodically. One feature that Firefox has and which surpasses all different browsers is Extensibility.

Downloaded Firefox comes in a basic stripped down version, which is good enough to continue with daily internet activities like internet browsing, sending mails, surfing the net. But, as the user grows more advanced and as the needs crop up, a browser has to learn to adapt itself and continue to serve the user rather than being monotonous and regular. That’s where Firefox hits the mark.

Most of the computer users use Winamp to hear your favorite songs and watch a few videos. As you are aware, Winamp provides you several features such a ripping audio cds, visualizations, bookmarking favorite songs and even listening to your fav song repeatedly even if it’s in the middle of multiple songs.

Do you know that Winamp subdues the audio experience? Even though you can enhance the audio output using the equalizer provided, these settings are to be played with a set of presets and your own settings in order to bring out the real oomph in the beat. There are several presets provided in Winamp, but these presets, I suppose would not appease to the music buff in you. So, I have going to let you another plugin for Winamp which is of a very small size and unobtrusive, but delivers top notch performance to make full use of your 3D surround sound speakers or a 5.1 or 2.1 audio system.

TRAI Guidelines To Telecom Operators Over Mobile Number Portability

Sep 25th, 2009

[Update:Mobile Number Portability(MNP) had been around for decades in USA, as some of the users have commented below. Please check the comments section for more information.]I think this is the first time in the world that any one is provided with such a unique feature of keeping the same old number but changing the operator. That is, if you own a mobile number which operates under AT&T plans, and you wish to change to some other subscriber like Vodafone, you can do so. The number stays the same, only the Operator(AT&T in this case) changes. India is the first country which is rolling out this kind of a plan to keep the telecom operators on their heels. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India(TRAI) issued specific guidelines to mobile operators to start commencing the roll out plan.

TRAI guidelines mobile number portability

Mobile Number Portability would be effective from Dec 31^st, 2009 is Metro cities and ‘A” grade service centers and the similar approach would be enticed in the other areas from March 20th, 2010. There is a small catch here that if the mobile operator’s licensed service area regulations do not accept it, this would not prove to be effective. My view on this point is: If you are staying in a small town or village where there are not many mobile operators to choose from, you might not get the facility to change your operator. I will get back on this after an update. I would specify the key points here:

You might have seen the glitzy text at the bottom of so many posts in the WordPress blogs, right? The content box at the bottom of the posts usually provide minimal information or an overlook what this blog is all about or who the author of the blog post is. At times, like mine, the readers are asked to choose from RSS Feeds or Mailing List, so that they can know when I update the blog. But, how do you put that box there? What are the files that I need to edit? Are you confused? Gimme a minute of your time and I will simplify this.

I will let you know two way of how to achieve this effect of post footer content.

Editing Your /theme-folder/functions.php file

All you need to do is copy and paste this code into your /theme-folder/functions.php file. Do modify it based on your need and you can add more text to support your cause.

function insertFootNote($content) {
if(!is_feed() &amp;&amp; !is_home()) {
$content.= "<div class='subscribe'>";
$content.= "<h4>Enjoyed this article?</h4>";
$content.= "<p>Subscribe to our  <a href=http://feeds.feedburner.com/NirvanasQuery'>RSS feed</a> and never miss a recipe!</p>";
$content.= "</div>";
}
return $content;
}
add_filter ('the_content', 'insertFootNote');

Code provided by: WPRecipes-Automatically insert content after each post

And discussing about a plugin to accomplish this job. Let’s work on….

Wowd Searches Popular Pages for Information in Real Time

You might have come across Twitter’s popular search mechanism which displays the results on the fly. Now Wowd provides similar kind of search feature in real time on browsers for the first time. Wowd is in a private invite stage and after getting an invite, you need to download a 10 MB application to make Wowd work for you.

Wowd claims that their search mechanism of finding good web pages with appropriate information is based on the human judgment but not through software bots and crawlers. The ‘good’ web pages are nominated to be displayed in the browser based on the people nominating them, by just viewing them. So, a view is basically considered a vote in the Wowd system and I suppose this is not completely flawless.
