Include keywords in important places. Include them in your blog post title, the large "headers" introducing a new section, the first few sentences of your post, and in links. Change your settings so each blog post's URL includes the title of the post, not the date it was posted. Try to make these as descriptive as possible to raise your ranking in search results and attract the right audience.
In case you don't know what Adsense is or how CPC advertising works (cost-per-click), basically Google gives advertisers a pre-determined amount of money each time someone clicks on an advertisement on your blog (from as small as $.01/click to some keywords raking in as much as $100/click based on a bidding system/how competitive a particular keyword is).
A content upgrade is a bonus that's very specific. For example, I got a popular post about self-esteem. And the content upgrade for that specific post is simply a checklist in downloadable PDF format where the reader can get all the tips from that post neatly summarized in a document that they can keep on their smart phone for whenever they need it.
Readers want to be entertained. Do you have a fascinating story? Do you lead a wildly interesting life? Are you outrageously funny? Everyone needs down time and plenty of blogs exist purely to entertain. With all the available entertainment these days, the key is providing something totally unique. As a bonus, you could be entertaining and helpful at the same time. For example, if your quirky family raises llamas, talk about how you raise llamas not just that you raise llamas. Entertaining + helpful = a great combination.
Choose your topic. The best blogs focus on topics that you, the blogger, are passionate about. This topic can be anything that you believe you have enough to say about to interest others. It works best if you can find a "niche" that is not being fully exploited.[9] There are several important things to keep in mind when choosing your blog topic:[10]
Outstanding Customer Service. Bluehost's customer service is 100% US-based. With hold times that average less than 30 seconds and 100% in-house, on-site staff in their Texas offices, you can rest assured that the person helping with your site knows how to help. In other words, if you have any questions, they will help you through the entire set-up process.
These three factors will determine the amount of money you make. Estimating exactly what you will make is pretty difficult, but a high traffic blog on the right topic has the potential to bring in several thousand dollars every month. Of course, many people earn less than this, and some earn even more. In fact, it has been estimated that some top AdSense publishers earn nearly $2 million per year just from AdSense.
Affiliate marketing is my absolute favorite way to make money blogging. I love it because it can feel quite passive. You can create just one blog or social media post, which can potentially still earn you money years down the line. Now, you will have to maintain the post and keep generating traffic to it. Still, with affiliate marketing, I can relax a little and enjoy life more, all while knowing that I am earning a great living promoting products that I use and enjoy.
17. Amazon – Have you heard of FBA? It stands for "Fulfilled by Amazon" and it's getting pretty popular. Basically, you buy products (in bulk is best) and ship them to Amazon for them to store. When your products sell, Amazon packs them up, ships them out and sends you the money (after taking their cut). There are people making a full-time living from FBA, while others just do it for some extra money.
It makes your blog portable. If you decide to move from one blog host to another, you just take your blog content AND your domain name with you. That way you don't lose the links you've built over time. If you didn't have a domain name, you would lose all the "search engine rankings" and "link value" you've built up so far – so in a sense, you'd be starting over.
Talk to people about what you're doing: It might seem too simple, but tell the people around you what you're doing. Get excited about your blog and share the things you're working on. As Gaby Dalkin of What's Gaby Cooking told me: "Maybe it's just your friends reading you to start, but you should be responding to every comment and going out and commenting on other blogs. This is essentially your industry and these are your coworkers."
Content marketing can be done with articles on sites like Medium.com or Scribd.com, it can be done by answering questions on Reddit or Quora, and it can be done with videos on YouTube or Vimeo, along with a variety of other means. The point is that all of the content has to be useful, period. Don't try to do the least amount of work for the greatest return. You need to do the exact opposite if you want to succeed.
Unless you have a very good reason (unlikely), do not use the Plain or Numeric structure. They don't play well with Google and other search engines because search engines use words, not numbers, to understand what your posts and pages are about. Search engines will be more likely to send people to your site when search words match the words in your permalinks.
We were inspired to research and write this essay after reading Joshua Becker's 15 Reasons I Think You Should Blog, in which he discusses 15 great reasons why you should start a blog. Why being the key word here. In other words, he talks about the purpose of blogging, not just how to start a blog. That's what many of these other "blogs about blogging" seem to miss; they miss the purpose—the why behind starting a blog.
Ruth's ebook is hands down the best blogging ebook I've ever read. I cannot recommend it highly enough and will be telling every new and seasoned blogger I know to get a copy! This ebook is comprehensive, but not overwhelming, and packed with amazing information. And I don't say that lightly. You see, by implementing the Pinterest strategies that Ruth suggests in her ebook, I have increased my site traffic by over 500,000 unique visitors per month. For real. Ruth is brilliant! What more can I say?!
You've given me some interesting things to think about, and no mistake. At the moment, video plays a supporting role and audio none at all, so I guess I'm going to have to consider repackaging new posts to these delivery methods. It was something that hadn't occurred to me at all until I found this post. My main problem is that I have a face that is good for radio, a voice best suited to silence and a budget that won't allow me to remedy either one. However, I guess with practice the voice will improve and the face can be replaced by graphics {grin}.
Write down every topic that you are knowledgeable or passionate about. You'll have a much easier time making money from a blog you are interested in, rather than trying to write content you don't like because you think it will make money.[1] Some examples are hobbies that you enjoy, your career, or some specific and miscellaneous knowledge that you have.
Blogging is hard and what I find to be the hardest for me is constant writers block. Evey time I sit down at the computer to write the mind just goes blank. I wonder if that is just me or happens to others also. Or maybe it means that I am not a good communicator or maybe too much disciplined as I am pushing myself too much instead of letting the creativity come naturally. Just don know 🙁
Thanks for this really easy-to-follow guide, it was a great help installing my blog. However, I have the same problem as Ellen above. I set up my domain name successfully and installed WordPress. Got an e-mail saying that the WordPress install was successful (as shown in your guide). But when I want to log in to my admin URL it says that the website is not available! and it's been like that for the last 2 days. Do you know what to do?

Understand the difference between total revenue and net income. Most income reports tout total revenue. Net income or profit (what really matters) is often buried in the post. I came across an income report recently with a super impressive number in the title (and Pinterest image). It was total revenue. Not until I read the whole post did I learn this blogger spent well over half their total revenue on Facebook Ads alone. On top of that, they had an extensive list of expenses. By the end of the post I realized I had netted more than they did the previous month.
Hey Shannon so I read your post a while ago but I didn't comment, just because as I was setting it up the total for the package was $118 with what I picked is that upfront? Or would I make the payments of $2.95 I opted out because I don't have the money yet. And like you said I don't want to start a free one I rather invest in one but I just wanted to be sure if that amount if required upfront when paying for the package? Then after the payments of 2.95 for 36 months?
When you purchase a hosting account, you're actually just renting space on a server. Either you're sharing that space with others, or the server is yours and yours alone to use. When you first start out, it will likely be the former. Your hosting account will be what's called a shared hosting account, likely on what's called a virtual private server (VPS).
Really excellent article. One suggestion or caution with Godaddy though…Godaddy has a product called WordPress Hosting. I signed up for it, and all was fine until I installed a plugin which had a special requirement that needed to be set up by the webhost. (something in the server side settings). I called Godaddy and they advised they can't make those changes. Only on their individual hosting plans would that have been possible. This is a rare event, but worth keeping in mind. When you go for your own hosting you have more flexibility.
First of all, happy new year and once again you did a great job by sharing such a fantastic blog with all of us. It's beneficial for everyone searching for this topic. I read many blogs on this topic, but the way you describe the things is really impressive. I just loved it. You make me feel proud that I am a reader of your blog. I read all of your blogs on a regular basis and honestly saying all of them are super awesome. Thanks for making such an excellent website for all of us and sharing such type of unique content. Keep sharing. I appreciate your work. Once again Thank You so much for this lovely post.
Allow readers to purchase your own products or donate to your cause through your blog. If you have an online store for selling arts and crafts, or you create T-shirt designs available through a clothing website, provide links to those sites. Including a PayPal button for quick, safe purchases or donations is a common way to monetize creative blogs, or blogs that provide free advice or assistance to those who can't afford it.
Thanks so much for this article and all of the links! I've been thinking about blogging for the past year. This year I started my Instagram page and just this week joined Twitter and Facebook as a means of (hopefully) expanding once the blog is underway. My first dilemma however, is the name! For the past four months, I have been @travelsandtantrums on IG (and the other platforms) however, I am thinking of changing that name as it began as a way of documenting our big family trip this year – I hadn't counted on growth (as you talk about in your articles). Also, as our kids grow up, I hope that the 'tantrums' will subside – so, I don't know whether to stick with what I have or to change to a more 'family/reality' name. It is catchy but is it relevant if we are not 'travelling' all the time? Hmmmmm. I'd love to know what you think!

If you absolutely cannot find a dot-com domain, then you could opt for a different extension, but be careful not to make that extension country specific. For example, don't use .US or .CA or even top-level domains such as .info or .cc or .name because you simply won't get the same global awareness and appeal that you would with a dot-com domain name.
Hi Jessica, thanks for the advice! I have been setting up my blog over the last few days and written a few posts already. I'm really nervous to launch the site though so as of now only I have access to my blog. Did you wait until you had a good amount of material on your blog before publicizing it or did you start with one article and got more traffic as more material was added? Thanks!
This may seem a little bit confusing if you are brand new to internet marketing, but you need to understand the various websites that can be created. Think of blogging as a spectrum of possibilities. At one extreme, you have massively popular authority websites. At the other extreme, you have very simple niche websites. Everything in between is possible.
My intention is to begin immediately with my new blog. I want to focus around the service industry more specifically about addiction. It is a huge epidemic in this country and I do not feel that there is enough information out there, real to life information for people to read. As a product of my own demons and at this stage in my life I feel that I have much to offer in this regard. I would just like a little feedback from you about the idea, and perhaps how you would go about laying something like that out online.
On February 24, 2015, Blogger announced that as of late March it will no longer allow its users to post sexually explicit content, unless the nudity offers "substantial public benefit," for example in "artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts."[11] On February 28, 2015, accounting for severe backlash from long-term bloggers, Blogger reversed its decision on banning sexual content, going back to the previous policy that allowed explicit images and videos if the blog was marked as "adult".[12]
Transparency. Being transparent is different from being honest. You needn't share every detail about your life just for the sake of being honest. Always be honest, and be transparent when it adds value to what you're writing. (Because everything we write must serve the greater good, you won't ever see pictures of us using the restroom—that's just not relevant.)
Thank you so much for the information! I've always wanted to blog since I love to write and have a minor in creative writing. My friends and family always told to start one as well but it always seemed too daunting. After somehow coming across your sight I read this post and for the first time felt I really could do you. You made it sound simple and possible. It does take work, yes, but your post was very encouraging and realistic. I'm just still in the building a blog stage, but hope to launch soon. I'm excited for this journey and it's all thanks to your blog!
Keep in mind that making money from your blog takes time. After all, there is a reason that learning how to make money from a blog is the last step in my guide. You need to make sure you have followed all the previous steps perfectly in order to give yourself the best chance of earning a substantial income from blogging. This will not happen overnight, but most bloggers find that the work itself is rewarding enough to continue on the journey.
If you are interested in covering a broad topic that many people already write about, create multiple specialized blogs instead and link between them when the subjects overlap. For instance, if you are a nutrition expert, write one blog about healthy weight management, another one about child nutrition, and another about growing your own vegetables.
This step should have been obvious by this point in the article. Again, creating content or products based on what you feel would be most successful is risky. It's next to impossible to replicate what another, more successful blog is doing and expect the same results for yourself. It's better to know who you're targeting, what their biggest pain points are and what products you want to use to target those pain points. A content marketing strategy will help you plan more effectively.
People who start to blog always thing of making money which tends them toward failure. In my opinion bloggers should choose the topic which interests them. They don't think about making money. It's about knowledge, try to learn more and don't think about money stuff. There are many top blog topics to make money online but you can get success only with the topic you like to write on. Try to choose your topic for the blog. Making money is very easy, don't think about it much.
Solid numbers about blogging incomes are hard to come by. For example, in the US, the Bureau of Labor Statistics lump bloggers in the very broad category of "Writers and Authors" which has a median income of $61,240 per year. That's not an accurate measure since there are vastly different occupations included in that category. Information from small surveys and anecdotal evidence can also be found online, but much of it is outdated or taken from tiny sample sizes.
Thank you Jessica for the information. I've read just about all of your blog posts and they have helped me, someone that loves using tech but not so tech savvy when it comes to building a blog. You made it easy right from the start and as I was thinking of questions they were being answered as I read a little more. Thanks again. (if you go to my web page it's still in demo mode until I have enough material to begin!)
The AMP specification is important due to globally slow internet speeds in most countries. While this especially applies to developing countries, most places, including North America, don't offer lightning fast internet speeds on mobile devices. To add to that, many website and blog owners don't understand the mechanics in site speed and how to ensure the framework of a site loads quickly so as not to frustrate visitors.
I'm getting this message "The server at whexperience.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network." You know how can I fix this issue? Thanks !
You can use your email list for this purpose simply by sending a broadcast email every now and then asking your subscribers what problems they're facing in your niche or what they would like to see on your blog. You can also promote a link to a survey on your site. Or you can even go all in and have real conversations with people by inviting them on Skype, talking to them on LinkedIn and Facebook groups, participating in forums, and more.
Spend enough time to create 5-10 pieces of awesome content, and spend the rest of your time networking. Leave thoughtful comments on authoritative blogs that you enjoy reading. Reach out and email influential bloggers without asking anything in return. After a month of being selfless, try to secure a guest post on those authoritative blogs and capture some of their audience (your guest post should be amazing).
The major email services like Gmail, Yahoo, and AOL have made some recent changes that you need to know about. Going forward, you will need to have a domain specific email address that is connected to your custom domain. If you plan to send emails to your readers and you don't have a domain email address, your emails are going straight to the SPAM folder!
Find Your Niche. You needn't have a niche, but it helps. When learning how to be a blogger, it's important to ask yourself what you're passionate about. Running? Cooking? Being a parent? Have you found your passion? If so, whatever it is, write about that. If not, then you must first find your passion. (Note: We generally recommend that people don't start a blog about minimalism or the paleo diet or any other heavily saturated topic. But what we really mean when we say this is: don't create a blog about something unless you have a unique perspective. If you've embraced simple living and have a unique perspective, then by all means have at it.)
It seems like you got your blog up and running – congratulations! About the "WebPage not available" – this is a common thing. Just wait a few hours, clear your browser cookies and you should be able to see your blog. If you want to speed up the process, follow this guide: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/lets-get-started/when-will-my-domain-start-working-propagation
Once the course launches, they are ready with their wallets. The course is priced at $100 (probably undercharging here, but it's your first course and you are nervous) so some of them balk at buying it, but 100 people do end up buying it and you make $10,000 (minus processing fees). That's the same amount you made from your advertising and you are in control of everything! Even better you don't have to wait 30-60 days to get paid.
The single most important strategy you'll find for building up a blog and boosting your visibility on search engines like Google, and my all-time go-to strategy for rocketing up the search rankings on Google's SERPs, is content marketing. Marketing your content is an intricate process that involves long, seemingly-never-ending hours of building more useful off-site content that links to your primary anchor content, but it's well worth it.
If you are working with a 2-part system like Genesis, you'll need to upload both the Genesis Theme Framework and the child theme of your choice. Again, read my post about choosing a theme for an explanation of this preferred type of system. If you try to upload your child theme and you do not have the Genesis Framework installed, it will not work. I recommend you upload the Genesis Theme Framework first, then repeat the process with your child theme.
Protip: If you look at my contact page, you'll notice I don't put my email address in standard form with the @ and . signs. Instead I write it out like this: AmyLynnAndrews at gmail dot com. I do this to cut down on spam. The idea is to throw off any bots crawling the web hunting for the standard email format, harvesting it and blasting me with unwanted emails. Honestly, I'm not sure how well it works. It might just be a holdover from my younger blogging days. I should research this again. 🙂
Selling physical products online can be hard to setup as you will need to deal with storage, shipping and even deal with things such as local taxes and distance selling laws. Of course a lot of this headache can be resolved by finding a company who will offer a white-label or drop shipping service leaving you to worry about getting traffic and updating the website.
If you're unsure whether or not you've written a strong headline, take it for a test drive by using the free headline analyzer tool from CoSchedule. It's super cool—you just paste in the headline you're thinking about using, and it gives you a score on a scale of 0 to 100 (with 100 being a truly perfect headline), based on their analysis of millions of headlines.
Jaime, great article that you have posted on how to make money with blogging. Lots of informative concepts which a lot of other blogs would have over complicated but you have made it so simple that I find it so easy to read and take notes. I like it how you have broken it down to steps to follow which is great for the first time blogger just getting started in what appears to be an Internet jungle.
PS: my answer to this question is always… "the better question is… how can my blog help me build a profitable business?" Most of the profits from blogging are not made on your blog, but that's okay. I don't believe blogging about making money per se, but about branding yourself and positioning yourself within your niche market as an authority and leader. Once that is established, there are so many ways to move people into your money making enterprises. Email marketing, as you pointed out, is one of the best ways to do this. Sending people to your membership sites, services, info products and coaching programs are all great things to route people into as well.
Yes, you can create an e-commerce site with Bluehost and WordPress, but you'll have to add either a plugin or an e-commerce platform like Shopify as well. I would go with the top plan if you're able to do so. Make sure you do more research in terms of adding the shop — there are lots of different options out there — all with their own pros and cons.
Add Value. Your blog must add value to its readers' lives. You want to help people solve problems. This is the only way you will get great quality readers to your site (and keep them coming back). Adding value is the only way to get someone's long-term buy-in. We both learned this after a decade of leading and managing people in the corporate world. With everything you write, it's worth asking: Is this adding value?
The goal? Create a schedule and stick to it. In the beginning, write as much content as you can and share it everywhere. However, don't sacrifice quantity over quality. Ensure that all the posts are great, high quality posts that are both relevant to your audience and niche while also being keyword-centric. Don't veer off topic or go on one tangent after another.
Working with advertising networks isn't your only option when it comes to selling ads. If you end up with enough traffic, advertisers may come directly to you and ask you to place their ad on your site. You can also contact advertisers yourself. The biggest difference from the above mentioned option is that there is no middle man, which means you can set your own ad rates.

If your Skill isn't going up, your Rank won't be going up.
Also depends on your performance in those matches.
Was it solo or stacked team? What were your teammates ranks?
Etc etc
This month i have 35w/6l behind 2500/1000kd
And im gain on 9% xd criminal
Well, if you kept winning against lower skilled and ranked teams, it won't do you much good…
How many silver players does an Onyx need to kill to be promoted to Diamond, right?
The system is much more complicated than just a simple case of winning a lot more than losing (feel free to review the past 1100 posts here ). Since the make up of the team(s) is a big factor, if you are playing solo, random luck is a factor (if you keep getting stronger teams then you're unlikely to gain from wins but will likely lose from losses, so it's almost a no-win situation)…
Just keep playing, keep doing your best, and if you keep getting better and better, you'll get promoted to higher rank(s)…
There is no simple answer…
Im always play with tryhards no match without diamond players im in onyx3 65% sometimes im mvp when my dia4friends with me with best kd and not gain… why make unfair system its out by logic
The statistics in the game are locked and win many games and do not upload anything, ah but I get up 10%
I am too incomprehensible with this.
If your below Diamond and you squad with a Diamond or a few diamonds, you are almost certainly not going to rank up.
If you outperform them game in, game out, your Skill Rating will go up and you need to then play solo or with lower ranked players, perform the same and the game will then implement any increase in skill rating to game rank.
Playing with a Diamond 4 means that your most likely not going to be ranking up in those games.
Ok but i have always diamond players when im solo to
So I started a game and my partner quit on two versus two gnashers. My partner quit after the first round… I ended up losing obviously and as a gold three I lost against two gold ones. I checked my stats after and dropped 5%… Was I really supposed to win 1 vs 2, TC?
Bless you envii, bless you😔
I do feel like I'm saying the same things over and over and I'm sure TC feel exactly the same, the system may be complex behind the scenes of what it's doing but it is simple to understand once you give it a chance.
I just feel people expect to be getting to Diamond because they see it as a progression system but the Diamond playerbase is less than 2% of the population, based on figures TC used to offer on the website.
Gasp! Envii, you are in the top 1%! We must take your skills, and evenly distribute them among the lesser skilled players! It's only fair!
Aha your too kind
Some modes I remember had really low Diamond populations, like 0.3% to 0.7%.
The most I ever saw was like 1.5% - 2%.
It might have changed since but those were the percentages when they were displayed on the website.
Just makes you realise how hard it is to get into Diamond.
Onyx used to be around 13.7% if I remember correctly too which is still very good to be in that rank.
I'd imagine that Dodgeball has barely any Ds lol
I think Escalation was around the 0.7 to 1% mark as well, also Execution was on the low side.
Its really funny whenever I play any of those modes, cuz i play them very rarely, so i'm only a Bronze-Silver in them, meaning that when I do play them, I completely dominate lol
Won 7 matches in a row and wont increase percentage… Just played a koth match destroyed them 1st rd …there pings at 50 to 60 …then there whole squad magically goes goes to 80 to 100 ping lag everytime was in fight and every other shot didnt register…i sdnt 1 of them a message and they basically laughed in my face knowing wat they did …beyond sick of this …the hell with gears
Do you know why TC stopped publishing the percentages?
I'm not sure why, I never read or saw a reason.
Maybe @TC_Octus can clarify.

What values did you grow up holding dear? Are they the same ones today? Tell the story of the first time you learned about these values—say, a morning at Sunday School or a conversation with a grandparent. If they've changed, tell the story of the moment (as best you can place it) when they changed—say, in a classroom, in a conversation with a friend, etc.
In addition to its use of clear, demonstrative language, there is one thing that makes this an effective essay: focus. Indeed, notice that, although the question is broad, the answer is narrow. This is crucial. It can be easy to wax poetic on a topic and, in the process, take on too much. Instead, by highlighting one specific aspect of his personality, the author is able to give the reader a taste of his who he is without overwhelming him or simply reproducing his résumé. This emphasis gives the reader the opportunity to learn who the writer is on his terms and makes it a truly compelling application essay.
Oberlin requires a general personal essay as well as a short essay (250 words) responding to the question, "How did your interest in Oberlin develop and what aspects of our college community most excite you?" For your personal essay, you may choose from the Common Application or Coalition Application essay prompts listed below, or write on the topic of your choice.
When a college application essay is riddled with punctuation and spelling errors, it can significantly hurt your chances of being accepted into the school. While a few grammatical mistakes may just be a strike against you, excessive errors will make the essay challenging to comprehend and demonstrate a lack of care in your work. Since success in college coursework is dependent on having strong writing and communication skills, it is essential that you carefully proofread your essay before submission. If English is not your biggest academic strength, it can also be beneficial to ask a teacher or parent with strong editorial skills to critique your writing.
Your grammar and usage do not have to be perfect. However, your essay should be polished and free of conspicuous errors, such as typos and spelling mistakes. In addition to having reviewers spot any issues with clarity and readability, Southwestern University Dean of Admission and Enrollment Services Christine Bowman suggests, "print out your essay, and read it aloud to make sure you have not missed any key words or punctuation. Sometimes we type faster than our thoughts get onto the page." Seeing your essay printed in hard copy can help you see what you might miss on screen; reading it aloud can help you "hear" errors that your eyes might skip.
The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) invites all high school students (9th through 12th grades) interested in the American Revolution to participate in the George S. & Stella M. Knight Essay Contest. The contest is open to all students attending home schools, public, parochial, or private high schools in that same grade range.
Perhaps the narratives I spoke of earlier, the stories I mistakenly labeled as "semantics," carry real weight in our everyday decisions. In the case of Walker's study, men unconsciously created an irrational narrative around an abstract rock. We all tell slightly different narratives when we independently consider notions ranging from rocks to war to existence. It is ultimately the unconscious gaps in these narratives that are responsible for many of the man-made problems this world faces. In order for the "life of the mind" to be a worthwhile endeavor, we must challenge the unconscious narratives we attach to the larger games we play—the truths we tell (or don't tell), the lessons we learn (or haven't really learned), the people we meet (or haven't truly met).
Even though most college applications only have a suggested minimum of 250 words and no established limit, it is imperative that students realize that every admissions officer has a large pile of essays to read on a daily basis. Since he or she normally expects to spend fewer than five minutes reading through your writing, it is recommended that your essay has fewer than 700 words total to avoid straining their patience. Instead of trying to cover everything in your essay, be concise and coherent when giving the committee a snapshot of your autobiography.
The host mom Shellie was a single mom who had two of her own sons and two Russian daughters that she had adopted. The kids always had something warm to eat, and were always on their best behavior at home and in school. It would be fair to say that this was all due to Shellie's upbringing. My room was on the first floor, right in front of Shellie's hair salon, a small business that she ran out of her home. In the living room were six or seven huge amplifiers and a gigantic chandelier hung from the high ceiling. The kitchen had a bar. At first, the non-stop visits from strangers made me nervous, but soon I got used to them. I remember one night, a couple barged into my room while I was sleeping. It was awkward.

The chicken--confused, betrayed, disturbed--slowly lifts its eyes from the now empty ground. For the first time, it looks past the silver fence of the cage and notices an unkempt sweep of colossal brown and green grasses opposite its impeccably crafted surroundings. Cautiously, it inches closer to the barrier, farther from the unbelievable perfection of the farm, and discovers a wide sea of black gravel. Stained with gray stones and marked with yellow lines, it separates the chicken from the opposite field.
Don't show anyone anything you have written yet. And don't reread it immediately. Let all that you've written sit, latent, so you're not tempted to edit it right off the bat. Why? Allowing your writing to breathe away from you can prevent you from committing one of the cardinal sins of personal statement-writing—but also all writing!—trying to force the story into what you think it should be instead of what it is. To get more concrete: let's say Michael wrote about his grandfather teaching him to surf in answer to several of those prompts—about a crucial summer, and an important person to him. But now he's so excited about that that he immediately wants to turn it into his draft. As he's writing, he gets self-conscious, thinking: why am I writing about surfing when I'm not a competitive surfer, and when it's only something I do occasionally? Or say Michael shows it to an English teacher, who gets distracted by the quality of Michaels prose—which was meant to be free and unedited—and tells him to choose another topic, since this one isn't "singing" yet. Respect your process and let these things sit.
Since your Common App essay will be seen by numerous colleges, you will want to paint a portrait of yourself that is accessible to a breadth of institutions and admissions officers (for example, if you are only applying to engineering programs at some schools, don't focus your Common App on STEM at the expense of your other applications — save that for your supplemental essays).
With 100 words, you can only focus on one or two elements of your life. Think about your biggest selling points – the things that show you are the ideal candidate. Start by introducing yourself and your educational status. Then jump into the main topic of the essay. You may not have room to mention how the scholarship will help your education. Instead, mention how your education can help your career. The other information will be implied.
Your essay is a unique reflection of who you are as a person. Even if your parent or friend is a gifted writer who would be happy to help you write your essay, do not let them write your essay. Your own words are the best way to convey who you are as a student and a person; using someone else's words won't give your essay an authentic voice. Additionally, if you're caught letting someone else write your essay, you may be automatically disqualified from admission. That's exactly the kind of college application help you don't need.

"Managing Change Orders" Starts April 5
Oh Legrand, Could I Love You More?
No. I couldn't. And here's another of my many reasons to LOVE Legrand.
The Wave Switch, in the Adorne collection. I get a lot of product notices from manufacturers, but the ones I blog about are the ones I wish I had had in my specification bag'o tricks when I was in the field. This is one of them.
The Wave Light Switch can be a single pole operation or paired with another switch. It makes so much sense for entryways, kitchens, bathrooms, and children's rooms. Well, frankly any room GERMS can be found in so pretty much anywhere you care to upgrade (or build into new plan).
If you're retrofitting and picking and choosing, I vote kitchen and nursery, if you have one. Your hands are generally full of something or have touched something you'd rather not transfer all about the house.
No touchy...with the wave of your hand you can control your lighting.
Where else would I put it? all bathrooms. All of them.
But Jenny, you ask, does Adorne have different looks for my very unique home?
Of course they do...it's Legrand! Clean, sleek face plates in a variety of finishes.
Now wash off those dirty mitts of yours and check out Legrand's site. All the cool kids are doing it.

Avaya to Demonstrate World's First Social Platform for Chatbots at GITEX 2018
Avaya Holdings Corp. today announced it will demonstrate the first social platform for chatbots at GITEX Technology Week 2018, taking a giant leap in customer self-service. Drawing parallels from traditional social media, Avaya's innovation provides a structured platform for bots to interact securely, aiming to extend each chatbot's expertise.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20181007005048/en/
Avaya to Unveil World's First Social Platform for Chatbots (Graphic: Business Wire)
A 2018 global Avaya survey of 8,000 consumers found that 80% expect an immediate response on their queries, highlighting the need for efficient customer service. "With automation, organizations can overcome their human resource limitations and meet customer expectations by delivering seamless experiences across all touch points. Bots are becoming one of the most powerful means to positively impact customer service," said Laurent Philonenko, Senior Vice President, Innovation at Avaya.
While acknowledging the growing customer acceptance, a key shortcoming of enterprise chatbots is that they are domain-specific. This drastically limits their ability to efficiently service customers' requests when they face questions they haven't been trained to answer.
"What if we could enable chatbots from different industries to collaborate via a highly regulated platform? We could securely link enterprises, significantly expanding bots' efficacy, thereby enabling organizations to deliver exceptional customer service, reducing the need for human intervention and supervised learning," added Ahmed Helmy, Senior Director of Solution Architects, Avaya EMEA & APAC.
GITEX delegates will witness how Avaya's platform allows enterprises to register its chatbots with unique profiles and 'friend' other bots from different domains. This platform will enable chatbots to rate each other and store confidence metrics based on the quality of information received, and feedback from end customers, constantly improving each bot's quality and speed of customer service.
Avaya envisages two scenarios for handling real-time customer-bot interactions—either the original bot contacts a friended bot on the customer's behalf and delivers the received answer, or the original bot connects the customer to a friended bot in the style of a conference call. "This is a huge step in addressing the information and service bottlenecks of chatbot systems," said Helmy. "The social platform allows Avaya's customers to increase the value of their chatbot solutions without having to engage in lengthy data curation or warehousing projects."
Avaya is incorporating this groundbreaking, patent pending capability in its Avaya Ava™ smart self-service platform, which provides a chatbot and messaging framework about natural language processing and machine learning.

What a huge, great list of ideas – bookmarked this as I know I'll be coming back to go over it again and again. Here's another item that could have made the list. I found a financial directory that's useful for info on making money online. It's http://money.madbeetech.com. What I like about it is that each directory listing includes ebooks and videos that can be instantly downloaded. All sorts of stuff for people who have their own website, and people who don't (but still want to make money online).
If you have a background in a specific field, you may find there is a demand for writing industry papers in your area of expertise. For example, there are often adverts for doctors, lawyers, nutritionists, and business experts from particular niches, to write white papers on different subject areas. These are well paid jobs that you will need to stake your reputation on, but that can often be worked on from the comfort of your own home.
If you have a fondness and talent for taking pictures you can make extra money online by becoming a stock photographer and selling your images to a stock photo company like ShutterStock or iStockPhoto. You'll get royalties every time someone licenses an image you've submitted. To really be successful, build your own photography website to be able to showcase your portfolio and start getting higher-paid private corporate work.
Having been sucked into some scams myself in the past, I know how difficult it can be to find real ways to make money online fast. Thus, I've compiled this list. Some ways require knowledge of certain skills, but all these skills can be learned. If you don't know where to start, I suggest picking one of these ways and learning more about it, then trying it out!
eBay: With eBay, the procedure is very similar. You simply start by becoming an eBay seller and stay in good standing by making sure your PayPal account is verified, and then you can sign up for your store. These three steps allow you to piggyback on eBay's reputation, reach, and sales and marketing infrastructure in order to sell your own products.
So many people dream of writing a book, but never go through with it. Yet no matter what, I'm sure you have experience and value you could give through writing a book. By packaging your skills and knowledge into a downloadable eBook that helps people learn a skill, advance their careers, or start a businesses, you can change someone's life and even make good money online.
My name is Jamie Spencer and I have spent the past 5 years building money making blogs. After growing tired of the 9-5, commuting and never seeing my family I decided that I wanted to make some changes and launched my first blog. Since then I have launched lots of successful niche blogs and after selling my survivalist blog I decided to teach other people how to do the same.
Fiverr is one of the biggest providers in the gig economy on the web and you can sell a wide variety of services and products through this medium. Do the research and find out what you can offer. However, keep in mind that like any other money-making task, it takes time to succeed here. And stellar reviews will help you generate more and more income over time.
If you are not tech savvy you cannot earn anything online and let no one tell you that you can just setup a blog or niche site have money streaming in. The dynamics of getting traffic to your site is very complicated. I have been a web developer for over 12 years now but I can assure you that the road is not smooth. The learning curve is the longest than earning PHD.
The list of options when it comes to making money via the internet is literally limitless. But just like making money offline, it is no easy feat. It also takes time, energy, planning and persistence to succeed. If you're into affiliate marketing or blog advertising for instance, you need to gain trust from search engines to get your blog or website rank high in the search engine results, as well as gain trust from online users for better conversions.
Writing an eBook and selling it on your blog can be a great money maker. Your eBook should be directly relevant to your blog's content so you can sell your book to your existing audience. Creating a recipe eBook for a food blog or an eBook full of training plans to complement your fitness site are just a couple of examples that have the potential to sell.
Aloha Yaro, gosh that was an awesome business venture the way you set it up. It's like walking along with you on you online ventures, as you were developing and progressing with time. I find your post very valuable and leaving great clues of what to expect if we were considering some of the avenues you ventured on.

This is a more technical way to make money online then most of the other strategies given. But you can get an excellent course on how to make it happen with Steve Chou's Create a Profitable Online Store program. Steve and his wife have built a highly successful online store – selling wedding napkins – and he's anxious to provide insider secrets to people who sign up for his course..
20 REAL ways people make money online.Cathy is in need of a legitimate way to make money online fast. She writes in: "I was a nurse for almost 30 years when I became disabled from a car wreck. I am a very tough person (I'm a redhead!) I went out last October and bought a new PC to try and make money online, but all I have succeeded in doing is getting further in debt. I know you know what I mean by all the scams that I fell into.
As my blog audience grew I began to test a method of making money I was very interested in – affiliate marketing. My first test proved positive, though initially I was disappointed that of my readership of 500 or so people (at the time), I could only sell one or two products, making $20 commission each. It wasn't retirement money, but it was a start.
First off, I'm a blogger so it seems wrong not to mention it, but more importantly, it's a legitimate way to make money. It's quite possibly the least straight-forward way on this list, but it's very doable and it's also quite possibly the funnest way on this list. I love blogging and I know hundreds of bloggers who feel the same. So let's talk about making money blogging and what it really means.
If you want to clear some space out in your house and have a big stack of books you've been holding onto for too long, you can make money selling your books and textbooks online. Stores like Half Priced Books and others will give you cents on the dollar for each of your current books while you can check what your book is worth by simply entering the ISBN number on Book Scouter.
The best part, as soon as you choose to cash out, you'll receive your rewards instantly online through your PayPal account or with gift card claims codes from online marketplaces. There's no comparison between receiving rewards electronically or via check, which is still the gold standard for most workplaces and even some other online pursuits. Instead of waiting a week or more to receive a check and deposit it into a bank account, you'll get your cash at a lightning-fast pace.
If you have specific writing/journalism skills or are adept in various IT/software domains, freelancing may prove to be a lucrative source of secondary income. Increasingly, companies are implementing a content marketing strategy and turning to outside sources for specific assignments, and if you can prove your worth there will be more work available. Even simple skills like data entry may be to your liking, provide you can offer at least 5-10 hours weekly.
I suppose I should have said She instead of He, and I should not be surprised. Women are notorious for making sure someone is corrected. It is just so frustrating. This person wrote so much helpful information and after reading all that they had provided, this asshat thought to say…….Swagbucks isn't instant? Really? Why even comment at all? You look so freaking inconsiderate. The age of entitlement……….ho hum. The planet is doomed.
It was a very simple card shop made up of text listings of the cards I had for sale, the quantity available and the cost per card or per pack. I maintained the inventory myself from my room, sorting and listing cards online by hand using plain text. I didn't use any software and most of the payments I received back then was via check or money order in the mail. Some kids would even send money and even coins (!) in the mail to pay for their purchase.
A spin-off for web designers is to offer a landing page creation service. Well-optimized landing pages can be the difference between a successful and a failing business. And, as creating the perfect landing page isn't easy, this is a service many businesses are prepared to pay for. I know people who are earning 6 figures per year and all they do is create landing pages for businesses. There's serious money to be made.
Start by taking other courses you're interested in: Not only is this important competitor and opportunity analysis, but it also gives you an idea of how a course could or should look and feel. What's the pacing like? Is it via email, video, in-person chats? Once you understand how you want your course to look, it's time to decide what it should include. Those same courses are a great starting place. How can you make your course better or more interesting? Do you have experience others don't?
Create a killer course experience: With your course validated and in the works, you need to figure out how people will take it. Most course creators choose to host their courses from their own websites. This way, they get all the value of bringing customers back to their site on a regular basis. I host my own courses from a subdomain on my own site so I can easily add more. The course experience is incredibly important as well. And after trying most of the solutions, I highly recommend Teachable—an online platform designed specifically for courses.

Many people will argue that 2016 was one of the most memorable seasons in baseball history since the long-suffering Chicago Cubs won their first World Series in 108 years. However, for many baseball fans it was a year filled with misery. Eleven teams finished 20 games or more out of first place in their division. To compare, in 2006 there were only four such teams.
So why are there so many miserable teams right now? Because many teams have embraced tanking, and it's ruining baseball.
Now, tanking can be an effective strategy. Just ask the Cubs who went 346-464 from 2010 to 2014. They turned the focus away from winning and instead traded away their veteran players for young, highly-rated prospects. Many of these young guys became cornerstones of the 2016 World Series team, such as Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Jake Arrieta.
But tanking is hardly a sure thing. The Houston Astros lost 100 games from 2011 to 2013, then lost 92 times in 2014. But they collected a bunch of young players and in 2015 they made a remarkable improvement and made the playoffs as a Wild Card team. Success, right? Well, last year they won two less games and missed the playoffs. You would expect your core of young talent to be getting better each year. Instead, the Astros stagnated.
Also, baseball scouting is notoriously unreliable. Highly rated prospects frequently don't develop into good professional players, and lowly rated ones often become everyday starters.
A few years ago FanGraphs analyzed every player who had a WAR (a measurement of how good a player is compared to an average player) greater than three from 2012 to 2014. Now 52 percent of players with a WAR greater than three were at one point listed in Baseball America's top 50 best prospects list. But 33 percent never even appeared in the top 100 on those same lists. So yes, highly rated prospects are more likely to become reliable pros, but there are plenty of guys who go under-the-radar who end up just as good.
Tanking exists in every professional sport, as any fan of the Philadelphia 76ers knows far too well. So, is it any worse when it happens in baseball? Yes. In the NBA and NHL, teams play 82 games while in the NFL they only play 16. But in the MLB, there are 162 games in the regular season. So teams that tank are asking their fans to buy tickets for 81 home games to watch a team that has virtually no chance to make the playoffs. But at least you get to watch a bunch of 19-year-olds who may be good in three years while paying eight dollars for a hot dog!
Yes, tanking can be an effective strategy as the Cubs' World Series championship proved. But it's hardly a sure thing, and purposefully gutting your team is a disservice to fans. There are ways teams can acquire young players and still field competitive teams. But as long as the league does nothing to dissuade tanking, there will be a lot of fans watching miserable teams this season and for many more to come.
