What to do next
Oct 26th
6 main sites which offer money for paid reviews are:
Blogsvertise.com
Sponsoredreviews.com
payperpost.com
reviewme.com
payu2blog.com
blogtoprofit.com
smorty.com
(There are other sites which offer same services but they have very less advertisers and so very less reviews.) You need to submit your blog(s) to these sites. Blogsvertise and reviewme accept blogs quickly and readily if you meet their minimum requirement. Payperpost needs 3 months of domain history for you to submit. Similarly other sites also have their own criteria for acceptance and review submission. I suggest you to read the TOS for each of them carefully. And also don’t forget to open a paypal account first for money transaction.

Oct 12th
A minimum of 20 posts is reqiured in the first month of blogging. It is advisable for you to post them regularly instead of posting a lot i a single day. The post that you write should be unique and it should not be a copy from any sources that is available in the internet. It is neccessary for the search engines( mainly google) to recognise your post. You can see if your posts has been indexed or not by google by opening google.com, and write “site:http://your-site-name.com” in the search option. The number of results that come up is the number of your posts that had been indexed. The higher the number, the better it is. Let google index at least 20 of your posts before you start earning through blogging.
Exchange links with other people through forums. All webmaster forums have Link exchange categories. Exchange a minimum of 20 links with other good PR sites.

Oct 11th
The next step that you should do after registering a domain name is to host it in a hosting site. There are many hosting sites available which offer both free account and premium account. But so far I have used only a few of them. I used the free account of byethost.com when I first started to have websites. Even though I have used a premium account in other varied websites, the best free account hosting site seems to me to be byethost.com still. Unlike many other free hosting sites, it doesn’t post any advertisement for themselves in your site. That is really a good feature. But hosting in a free hosting site suffers some common problems of server down a bit often. To prevent that you need to have a regular back-up of the database by downloading them regularly. And if you have a very good website which is visited y many people, and contains important critical topics, or use a viral marketing strategy, you need to host your website in other big hosting sites. I suggest you to use kiosk.ws to prevent crash free from huge traffic. But it is a bit costly for normal websites and blogs.

Oct 11th
Well, when I started a thread in the webmaster forums saying that I earned $500 in the first month of my earning, many of the forum members requested me to tell them the secret of earning that much amount so fast in the first month. Some of them even asked me to write an ebook on how to make fast money only through blogging. I admit that I used some of unusual techniques to earn that fast and easy money. Some of the techniques I used were even against the rule. But I succeeded in getting fast money as those techniques may be known only to me or other few person like me who are willing to risk and try new things. I thought of writing a short ebook for my friends, but I feared that if more than 1000 persons do the same technique as I do, all of us would be surely banned. But now, that I have almost left blogging, I thought I would tell the secrets to everyone here in this site. I don’t have time to write a separate ebook for this. My fingers give me a lot of pain because of the excessive typing in the last few months. Doctor advised me to take a break. That is the reason number 1 for me to quit blogging. The second reason why I quit blogging is that I have planned to turn my face on internet marketing. It takes a lot of studies, experiment and observation to become a succesful internet marketer. I have been trying to do some google adword campaign in the past few days without much success. But still I am taking out this little time to write something about blogging, -HOW TO SUCCEED- easily, on the request of my new-blogger friends.

Oct 11th
“Which domain to buy” is the first hurdle that anyone faces when he/she starts blogging. Most of the beginners think of their own domain name and then register it. The newly registered domain will ovbiously have zero pagerank. It would need more than some 300 backlinks and a very good organic content to attain a higher pagerank of two or three. Moreover the person has to wait for the next google pagerank updates which would take three or more months. This means you can not start earning in the first three months as most of the earning opportunities are available only to higher pagerank sites.
To avoid such wastage of time, you can start by registering an expired higher pagerank site. There are many sites through which you can search for expired higher pagerank sites. Some of the sites that I recommend are drophunt.com, vohio.com, owndrop.com etc.
And for registering a site, namecheap.com is the best site. The registering fee comes at $8.99. If you add namecheap coupon you will get a rebate of $1. The coupon for october 07 is “rocktober”.

Oct 10th
Many of us don’t even know that internet can be used as a medium for earning easy money. I saw internet only as a source of valuable information until, Nandeibam Uttam, one of our senior in our college showed that it can really be used for our own better benefits. Khamnam Robinsun also succeeded in becoming one of the webmasters. The two of them are the forerunners who have shown us the path. Theja, Waikhom Ningsuhen, I and then Suraj were the ones who followed them and all of us are equally successful as it is not difficult at all. Anyone can become a webmaster, or at least a blogger, if you work a little hard. You need to know some basic languages like HTML or at least know how to edit it. It is not as boring as reading college books. Thats why everyone is interested. Some of my friends in our hostel who have followed our steps are Sanjay Anand Mishra from Bihar, Amit singh from Bengal, again Amit singh from Arunachal Pradesh, Subendu Sahu from Meghalaya, Deepak Kumar Jha from Sikkim, Manu Basil from Kerala, Senapati, Uday from Himachal etc. The number of bloggers in our college are increasing exponentially.

Oct 9th
Almost everyone has a blog nowadays. So, why don’t you have one yourself? If you still haven’t got a blog so far, I will tell you how to get an free and easy to use blog. Go to Blogger.com and sign up in there (if you have a gmail ID, you can just login into it using the gmail ID). You would be taken to a page asking about the blog name. Choose a name of your choice, say “myname”. After that, you would be asked to choose a template/layout for the blog. Choose the one which looks cool to you (you can change that anytime you want later). In step 3, you would be ask to write your first post in your blog. And bingo! you get your first blog called http://myname.blogspot.com. When you want to publish any new post in your blog, go to blogger.com and log in. Choose the blog (if you have numerous blogs in your dashboard) from your dashboard and then write the new post and then hit “publish”.
You can get another popular free blog service from wordpress.com. Follow the similar step as in blogger.com.
If you want to buy a blog with your own URL (domain name), then you can buy the domain name from namecheap.com, godaddy.com etc etc. After that you would need to buy a space in hosting server. There are free hosting service providers too with reduced functionality and features. Byethost is one of such site which provides both free and premium hosting space. After that you have to install a blogging software (wordpress is the most popular) in your domain. Regarding hosting a new site, you can check in http://www.thokchom.com/hosting-a-siteblog/

Oct 8th
I stopped writing diary right from the beginning of the month of March this year (2007). It just waste my time. I could use that time in sleeping a bit longer. “Writing a diary helps in improving writing skill”. That was what I was told and that was why I wrote diary. The first time when I started writing diary for the first time, it was very hard for me to even remember what I ate in the lunch. With time, I tried to cultivate the practice of remembering the whole events of the day in order to write them in my diary. That was really helpful to me. At one point of time, I wrote even my worst fear, my greatest desire and all other sort of greatest and worst thing- that I could not leave the diary alone, for fear of it being read by others. It gave me a sense of insecurity. Well, that was what I fear at that time (not now). That is one of the main reason why I stopped writing it. But I am thinking of writing diary again but not the same way as before. Maybe it would be digital diary this time.
