Make Money Online – John Chow’s style

I’ve been reading John Chow’s blog, Make Money Online,  for a while and i always liked his posts. The guy claims to be a Dot Com Mogul, and from what I’ve read here, he surely has an idea about what it takes to succeed in the online business.

I’ve spotted the "Review Me" feature on JohnChow.com a couple of months ago, but i didn’t really wanted to profit from it until i would have become a dedicated reader. I have to admit that my favourite category on John’s blog is "Make money online". Actually, searching this phrase on Google will get you a top result for the blog, and that’s something, considering we have more than 250 million results here… This makes me confident the guy knows what he’s talking about, so i keep reading his posts and note the ideas, in order to put them on practice sometime in the future on my own blogs.

Band of the day: Sixpence None the Richer

After having a tough night, my day was changed a little by a song from the bus. So, I’ve decided to write about this band, Sixpence None the Richer, which many of you already know of course, as they used to be famous a couple of years ago.

Guitarist/songwriter Matt Slocum and vocalist Leigh Bingham Nash are the people behind this band. As for their songs, they are great. I haven’t listened to all their work, but tracks like “Kiss me”, “There she goes” and “Don’t dream it’s over” are really mood saviours for me.

How much till you can start thinking about monetizing?

On my ventures on my favourite forum, DP, I tend to find a lot of topics where people are concerned about how much money their blog makes. Or actually how much it doesn’t. So, I’ve been asking myself this question: "How much till you can start thinking about monetizing?".

Many people start sites/blogs with only one thought on their mind: making big bucks very fast. They put up together a site, some content and a lot of Ads. That’s how MFAs are born. Of course, in a couple of weeks or at best months, they give up, cause things aren’t going as they expected. So, let’s say something clear :"It’s hard to get a good site". It takes a lot of work, dedication, time and again work. And don’t expect to pay off in the near future, cause it won’t. But, after a year or two, if you have done your job well, the results will start appearing.

Top 10 Wordpress plugins for beginners

If you’re planning to start a new blog, you would probably choose to use the most popular system out there, Wordpress. Unfortunatelly, Wordpress only comes with a couple of features preinstalled, only the basic ones. To get all the goodies you need to install some extra plugins. But, with the vast number of plugins available for Wordpress, a beginner might get a little confused, so that’s why I’m going to put up a list of my top 10 plugins I use on every blog. Hope it might come in handy for everyone.

Holly guacamole. 100 mil $ for a skull?

Thanks to the guys on Core77 i found the most expensive skull in the world. It didn’t belong to any famous Egyptian pharaoh and it’s not old even very old. So what’s the catch? Well, we’re talking about a 19th century skull plated in platinum and encrusted with 8601 diamonds, weighting over 1100 carats all together. This work of art (or so they say?!?), is the most eccentric design of Damien Hirst, the famous British artists, and bares the name "For the Love of God".

“4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days” wins Palm d’Or at Cannes

Palm d’Or is the ultimate prize a movie can get at The Cannes Film Festival, the European version of the Oscars. Many say that the movies presented here are even better than the American blockbusters, but you can’t really compare them, as these one are more focused on the story and acting quality, while the others marge a lot on famous figures and special effects. Anyway, Palm d’Or this year was won by the Romanian Cristian Mungiu, with the film "4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days".

Microsoft’s Surface computers to be sold for more than 5000 bucks

Microsoft brings us Surface computing, a new technology that requires no keypads or mice, that reacts to fingers and everyday objects. Everything is brought closer to the user, on the digital coffee-table-shaped “surface computer”. Bill Gates may have stepped down from his CEO position, but his ideas are always present, and this new gadget might represent for the future what Windows was for the past.

Playboy cover girls on a Photoshop session

When you see the beauties on those men magazines you can’t help thinking what do they do to look so good and how is this possible, especially when some of them aren’t on their first youth. Well, don’t mind about this anymore, cause they all get a Photoshop session. Like you can see in this movie. So, the quote "what you see is what you get" doesn’t work here at all…

Social bookmark analysis: Fark.com

One of the best way of getting traffic online these days is using the power of social bookmarking and social networking. There are two categories of sites in here, the ones that allow you to bookmark your favourite sites and share them with your friends, like StumbleUpon, Furl, Del.ici.ous, and the ones that accept posts submitted by regular users, like Netscape, Digg or Fark. I’m going to take a look at all of them, and analyse them from my personal point of view. Today, it’s time for Drew Curtis’ Fark.com .
