Branding yourself and your blog with Avatar
Posted by Arun in General
Blog is the easy way for personal branding in web 2.0. Personal branding is about branding yourself. It is about your own identity. With the increase of social sites, you can brand yourself with avatars(The small image you use to identify your profile).
IBM and Linden Lab (Creators of Second Life) are working on creating universal avatar standards that will enable our cartoon stand-ins to shuffle unimpeded from one virtual world to the next. There lies a big business after Avatars.
Avatars will be the next important issue of Web 2.0. People will die to create their own unique avatars after an year. Why not we do it now? Lets create a unique avatar for your blog and for your social network profiles.
Easy way to create your own Avatars:
I used to have Prince Arthas (A character from Warcraft game) as my avatar for many days. Later I decided to create a unique avatar and contacted a graphic designer at DP forum. His price for creating a unique avatar is around $65 which I’m not ready to afford. So I searched for free avatar generators and then comes Zwinky. Zwinky is a unique type of social network which is similar to second life. You can create nice avatars with zwinky. All you have to do is just download zwinky tool to your PC, register an account and play with it. i created my avatar with Zwinky. There are lot of customizations you can perform with your avatar using Zwinky. You can view some avatars of me at my Gallery Read the rest of this entry »

Make money online for sharing your computer to big projects
Posted by Arun in Make Money Online
You can make money online with your computer for letting others to use your computer’s unused cycles for their projects. Sharing one’s computer when it is not used by him is called as Distributed computing. According to Wikipedia “Distributed computing is a method of computer processing in which different parts of a program run simultaneously on two or more computers that are communicating with each other over a network.”
Some potential projects like energy exploration, weather and environmental simulations and graphics rendering need a large computing power. It is impossible for the companies to get the whole computing power by their own. So they’ll use the computing power of people who are connected to Internet, when their computer is unused. You will be paid by companies for using your computer when it is not used by you. So don’t waste your computer by leaving it when you’re moving out of it instead make money online with it. Start here to make money from distributed computing.

Earn Money Online flipping easy made Video blog sites
Posted by Arun in Make Money Online
There is lots of money to be made with flipping websites. Flipping websites for profits is an easy way to earn money online with no or less work. People usually flip websites with good content. With unique and quality articles, it is easy to sell a website for nice profit. You can easily make around $50 - $200 by flipping any website with just 5 – 10 unique keyword rich articles. People who buy this type of websites will use it for making money with Adsense or to promote affiliates. This is the gap between the people that look for instant profit and people that look for long term profits.
You may feel I’m not talking anything related to this post’s title. Here comes the Vlog part. Vlogs or Video Blogs are blogs which are stuffed only with videos from video whores like Youtube, metacafe etc etc… With Video blog sites you don’t need to create any orginal content. I flipped a Vlog about Casino Guides for $25 at DP forum. My investment with this Vlog is just $3 for the domain name. My profit is $22 which is not bad for NO WORK.
Check this thread where I sold my CasinoGuide Vlog.
How to create a Video Blog?
To start with a Video blog, you need to select a niche for your Vlog. Let’s say you selected Music as your niche. Categorize your blog with different categories, like Pop, Rock, Country etc etc…
Now make the categories with a wordpress blog. I’m not going to tell you how to install wordpress and so… It is pretty simple and self explanatory.
Next select a proper theme which matches to your Vlog. I suggest you to search for free themes at www.freewordpressthemes.com
Once you’re satisfied with your theme, move on to the next part; getting videos from youtube. You’ve to install a simple wordpress plugin called tubepress to get videos from youtube. Try this plugin by your own. It is pretty simple to use. You can Download Tubepress here.
While flipping Vlogs for profit, you must concentrate on your video niche. Select a good niche which people love to see it as a video. Music videos is a popular and best niche because, people like to see music videos for FREE. But this niche is already saturated. So try to search for any other niche. Be creative and the boundaries are endless.
The next important thing to keep in mind is the wordpress template. Select a template which perfectly matches with your niche. Definitely you’ll find one at www.freewordpressthemes.com
Once finished your Vlog, submit it to some Social Bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon, Digg etc… Sell it at DigitalPoint forum or any other place for profit. You can sell this type of Vlogs at ebay too.

Spice your blog posts with Royalty free Images
Posted by Arun in Blogging
I recently came across some blogs with really good content but with no images. I felt something is missing with those blogs though they have some good content. Images are must for blogs as they add some color and visual interest and will draw the attention of the visitors.
Just imagine a blog with lengthy but useful content and no images. You’ll get bored with even the interesting content in some minutes. It is not necessary to images with all blog posts but add images whereever it is necessary.
If you have a difficulty in explaining something, then you can use images.
Where to get images for blog posts?
Here are some sites which I usually use to get images. These images are not completely copyright free but they are licensed under Creative Common license.
www.sxc.hu
I very much like this website. I usually use images from this site for banners and headers when I used to flip sites.
Flickr
This is a community based site which has millions of images.
You can also search google for “royalty free images, copyright free images, free stock images “
