Make money without money

Make money without money

It is hard to believe but everyone can be a small businessman. For showing this to you, I will present a tutorial about how to make money without money or, in other words, an introduction in e-business (online business). All you have to do is mix some principles for making your website a success and also for monetizing it.

So, let’s start making money! First thing you need to know is what affiliate programs are and how they will generate profit for you. In simple terms, affiliate programs allow website publishers to earn a commission by selling products on their websites. The basic idea is to search for a niche product. You must also check if your “merchandise” is really a niche one and following that you can start creating a website to sell the “merchandise”, optimizing your e-business to generate profit.

After you have decided about the product, you must verify if our product will be successful. How to verify if our product is a niche one? It’s simple, just run a test on search engines. If the search engines will generate more than one million results it means that you’ve chosen the wrong product. Best products are those with no more than 50,000 results given by the search engines.

The next step is to make the website, the store where you’ll sell the affiliate links. Making a website is very easy if you create a blog site with Wordpress, Blogger, etc. Let’s try to do a blog with Wordpress. There are a number of reasons why it’s good for you use the Wordpress blog for your website:

1.       You can use the control panel to write, edit or delete the articles.

2.       The Worpress ping system, which is very important for search engines.

3.       Your website will have an advantage being a subdomain of a very powerful website.

4.       Using Wordpress platform, your website will have a very fast indexing.

5.       You have a lot of plugins which make your website “smarter”.

Ok, you have the product, the blog site and now you have to choose the name of the website. The best thing for the search engines is that the name of the product to be in the website’s domain, title, description and keywords. So, after you download the wordpress application, and after your registration at wordpress.com is complete, you are able to choose your blog domain which will appear like “the-product.wordpress.com”. If the registration is complete, you need a theme. Here you can find a lot of wordpress themes.

The plugins will have a great effect on your website. For example, All-in-one SEO Wordpress plugin will give you some fields where you can put the name of the product in title, description and you can fix the keywords.

The next step is to write the articles.  If you don’t have any idea about your product, try to develop some subjects like “How to”, “Comparative”, “Reviews”, “Tips”, “Latest News” or “FAQ’s”. Writing an article is very easy when you use Worpress, just select from control panel the option “Add New”. Try to create the article and add the affiliate links into the text. Select for every link the option “no follow” for helping your articles and the search engines. You must have a minimum of 10 articles about the product. The optimum way to write is two articles per day to start with.

Now is the moment for making your website a star and start making money. You’ll optimize the website for the search engines.  First of all, you must be “a friend” of the search engines, so you must have some back links throughout your website. A simple way is to publish your articles  onto articles directories like Digg, Technorati, Ezinearticles, Affsphere, Goarticles, Articlecity, Articlesbase, Articledashboard, Squidoo, etc. (a lot of articles directories can be find in “Web site like Digg“). It is not only a “friendly” way for the search engines but more than 70 per cent of your website’s traffic will come from those websites. Also, the traffic will be well targeted.

Another way to improve your website’s SEO qualities is to submit your website in website’s directories. Many people forget the importance of website’s directories but these are the most important tools for making your website friendly for the search engines. The secret is in the title! To submit in website’s directories, you need a title, description and some keywords representative for your website.  Usually, the title has the link to your website, so the search engine associates the title with the relevance of your website. A little trick for making the submitting in website’s directories easy is to use the firefox addons, Autofill Forms. Autofill Forms enables you to fill out web forms with one click or a keyboard shortcut. Here you can find a list of website’s directories.

Forums and newsgroups represent another option for gaining links. All you have to do is to post into related places and along with posts also include links to your website. Most of the forums accept html code, so when you’ll write a post or the signature try to “cover” the name of your product with a link to your website. Links can be integrated in the signature or also in part of reply, if there is appropriate information.

The last free SEO tool is the link exchange and the link networks. If you find other websites with relevant articles, try to contact the webmasters and propose them to make a link exchange.

In conclusion, you must follow three easy steps for starting to make “free” money:

1.       Get a product from an affiliate program

2.       Get a website

3.       Optimize your business

Free Course – Pure Photographic ’special Effects’ Without a Computer or a Darkroom!

Free Course – Pure Photographic ’special Effects’ Without a Computer or a Darkroom!

The following is just the text from the free course on ’special effect’ photography – THE MAGIC LANTERN

It was the accidental chance projection of a slide, without having the screen in place that resulted in a portrait appearing partly on some fabric and partly on the wallpaper. The curved fabric distorted the image and when the picture was clearly focussed the weave and texture of the materials forming a type of screen became part of the portrait. This was sufficiently intriguing to leave the projection as it was and to study the possibilities of this occurrence.

If this effect could be photographed, then one can photograph projected images on other textures or even on other objects. This proved to be the basic approach to gain full control of all images. Providing a completely new way of superimposing and controlling every aspect of photographs. Obviously if one can see it, one can photograph it!

The projector however offers so many more possibilities than the darkroom enlarger to create pictures. Take any image on any film; it is just as easy to project negatives or transparencies in colour or black and white on to whatever is desired. Consider the potential when projecting an image on to; fabrics (not always flat), textures, or even on to other objects, then try bouncing the projected photograph off a reflective surface and focus it on to a screen, or have a look at what happens if a crystal is placed near to the projector lens (behind the lens as well as in front). Colour filters can be used, or parts of the image can be masked (again compare the results obtained in front, as against behind, the projector lens).

With more than one projector it is possible to combine and superimpose with perfect control more than one image. By projecting these images, one on top of the other, and then masking away the overlapping parts of each image, that are no longer required, a totally new picture can be formed.

These are the basic principles, the projector provides all the magic, and such is the diversity that can be achieved with it. The older types of projectors are better than the modern automatic ones, because it is easier to gain access to the space behind the lens. An important advantage with these techniques – so one should look out for cheap second hand ones!

Adding Texture

The easiest way to begin is to experiment with the projected image, try projecting a favourite portrait on to a selection of textured surfaces, to be used as a screen. An enormous variety of textures are possible to use, they do not always need to be white, nor do they always need to be flat.

There is likely to be an element of distortion, as it is not possible to have the camera lens in exact alignment with the projector, but do not worry about this yet, distortion can be useful as described later.

The use of a texture in portrait work is particularly attractive, some of the beauty and character found in painted portraits is lacking in photographs. But the realism of the photograph becomes more abstract simply by adding a texture and this can bring out more expression or character than was evident before. This does not mean that one is copying paintings as totally different images are created from those ever painted, but that this abstract quality that so enriches portraits, can also apply to photographs.

Distortions

The only way of avoiding distortion is to project square on to the choice of screen and to photograph the image with a plate camera. Then one can correct the angle of view with the lens movements as used for architecture or perspective correction.

However, more often than not, distortion can be a very interesting effect if used carefully. It can even be a very dramatic tool. Any image can easily be elongated and stretched, or squashed and made wider. It just depends on the angle of the projector, or the camera, to the screen.

Reflections

So far it has been shown how an image can be influenced by; the addition of a texture, the effect of distortion, the use of colour filtration, and the use of negatives or black and white films.

Another fascinating way of manipulating a projected image is to consider reflections. The principle involved is basically to photograph a projected image as seen in a mirror, or bounced off a mirror. But instead of using a mirror, there are many other options. Try a piece of acetate film as this material allows one to bend or twist it, and so distort the image seen, by forming a flexible mirror.

There are two quite different effects achievable even with the flexible mirror in a fixed position and the same image projected. The first method is to project the image on to a screen and to photograph the reflection seen. The other is to project the image into the flexible mirror, so that it bounces off it, on to the screen; it is this new image that is then to be photographed.

There are many reflecting surfaces that can be used. They do not always need to be smooth, a highly polished old silver cigarette case, with a machine finished pattern as an over all design, has been used to advantage.

All photographs including those techniques already described can be made into patterns rather like a kaleidoscope by the use of mirrors. By positioning mirrors at right angles to each other, with the image projected on to a choice of screen in such a way, that the reflections are repeated in the mirrors will then form a pattern that can be photographed. The possibilities of scale and size are no problem when projecting images, the biggest building in the world can easily be projected between a couple of small mirrors or on to a small object!

Crystal Patterns

Spectacular patterns can be created by the use of crystals or prisms. Apart from the special effect types available for use on the camera, remember these can be used with the projector too, it is also interesting to use old crystals designed to form a chandelier.

Experiment with different crystals placed in front of the projector lens, not always square on, and see how the image scatters according to the cut. The best results are often found to be with a fairly small image within the transparency frame.

Quite a different pattern will be formed, by moving the crystal behind the lens. Obviously as these crystals are not optically perfect, the projected image will lose some definition, but it can still be useful as a background image.

Colour, Black And White Or Negative Images

Photography has the advantage of instantly reproducing an image in a number of ways. Just by the selection of film the image can be in black and white, colour or in either of these choices it could also be in negative form. All these can be projected!

Negatives can be unusually beautiful in themselves and they should not just be regarded as the means of obtaining a print. The choice of projected images should not be restricted to transparencies but include film in all its forms. Black and white images positives or negatives can be projected and used. Colour can still then easily be added to the black and white projected images by the choice of screen, as well as by the introduction of colour filters.

Filters

Many filters are available for the camera, and these can be used with the projector too. But any bits of coloured cellophane can also be used with the projector. There are hundreds of colours easily available, as one only needs such small pieces.

Even if they are not optically of use with the camera, if used between the projector condenser lens, and the film, they can influence the colour of the projected image, without any optical problems. With care it is also possible to change the colours of specific parts of the projected image.

Make Your Subject The Screen

It is not difficult to move on to other objects that can do more than just act as a screen. These are items that become an important part of the subject of the new photograph just as essential as the projected image.

For example an original portrait was projected on to a clamshell, amongst other shells, and the contours of the shell influenced the projected image. With careful masking using a diffused mask behind the lens, allowed light to illuminate other parts of the scene too.

There are a number of other objects that have been used in this way; a butterfly with a river scene, an orchid, a ball of wool and a Siamese cat, a coin, or a decaying holly leaf.

Even a highly reflective surface can be used such as coins. The camera was directly in front of the top coin, so that the projected image from the projector was to the left of the camera. This meant that the camera lens avoided the very bright reflection. Even the edges of the pages of a book have been used.

It can be fascinating to take your projector for a walk! Use an extension lead and just project a selection of slides on to everything in sight. By focusing on to a wide range of objects, you will be able to see what happens – expect to be surprised at some of the possibilities that will no doubt come to light!

Masking

Masking is best achieved by using black card that is stiff enough to stay upright; yet is easily cut into whatever shape is required. It works well in front or behind the projector lens. If masking in front of the lens it will quickly become apparent that the nearer to the screen the mask is placed, the sharper the shadow cast. The ideal is to always use a soft edge shadow so the mask will not be very far forward of the lens.

If it is possible to work behind the lens, then the nearer to the film, the sharper the shadows edge will be. It is then simple to perfectly blend different images when working with more than one projector.

There have been times when instead of masking with black card a transparent opaque plastic has been preferred, this avoids a black shadow forming, especially if the second projection is not adding much in that particular area. Tracing paper has been effective for this purpose normally placed behind the lens near to the film.

Before considering a second projector, with just one, there are now an amazing amount of possibilities that can be achieved with the projected image. However with two projectors the additional special effects are quite sensational.

Double exposure – With the Magic Lantern

The first option with the projector is to mount two pieces of film, sandwiched in the same mount, and project the combined images on to a screen. By focusing on one of the images, the one in true focus will dominate and soften the other. Much depends on the slide carrier used, but if there is room to insert more than two mounts in to the carrier, then the more space between the two films the greater the effect of one image dominating the other. Should both images need to be in focus then the closer they are to each other the better.

When sandwiching films in this manner it is possible to insert one or the other upside down, on its side, or the other way round. But there is little more opportunity with this technique of controlling the end result, so it is only a little bit better than double exposure as at least one can see what the result looks like first.

Two Projectors

This method involves using two projectors, but one has then an exciting way of blending any two previously created pictures, with far more control!

The technique is simple; just project both images separately on to the same choice of screen. However, these images can now be positioned whichever way one might wish, one image could be much larger than the other, or by masking parts of each image, a different blend of the two pictures can be created. This is how any parts, of any picture, can be blended together and all the time one can see exactly what is to be photographed.

Ideally, two identical projectors should be used, if possible with zoom lenses. Should this prove impractical then variations in performance of the second projector can be allowed for, by masking the brighter of the two, just in front of the lens to achieve the same brilliance from both projectors.

To enhance the quality of the results one can achieve with this technique, there is an advantage in obtaining a screen designed for rear projection.

Image Blending

Once the full potential of using two projectors is realised, there will be a need for quite different types of images, these are what are referred to as background shots, in the advertising world. A completely new stock of photographs will have to be taken, with blending potential in mind, no matter how many pictures are available from the past.

Now each image can be simply modified: The brightness of one image, as against the other, can be controlled. By masking and shading just parts, of each image, can be blended. Colours of certain areas can be altered with filters. The position of each image, relative to each other, can be adjusted. Or even the size, of one image as against the other, can easily be altered. One of the images could be distorted, reflected, or be changed in to a pattern by the use of a crystal. The possibilities are quite staggering!

Best of all, the combined images are there to be seen all the time, until the desired result is formed. There is no need to rely on guesswork, as so many other special effects seem to demand, with these methods so no film really should ever be wasted.

With two projectors it becomes possible to mix film effects together in a way not possible before. It is so easy to blend negative images with transparencies, in colour or black and white. Instead of transparencies in both projectors, one of them could be projecting a black and white negative or a colour negative just as easily.

Plate 3

‘Spirit of Spring’ is a well-known award winning study that won much acclaim for the author. This transparency of a portrait was projected over; a second projected colour negative image of a red tulip. A variation of this concept (plate 59 Poetic portfolio) is where another profile of Susan was blended with a colour negative of the centre of a tulip. (See this and other photos in the author’s ‘Poetic portfolio’ at www.jncohen.net).

More projectors

There are no reasons why more than two images should not be projected all at once, providing the projectors are available.

There have been a number of occasions when four projectors were in use together. However three have been the most that have normally been used, with the fourth one occasionally; simply projecting the author’s signature in to the scene.

Rear Projection

There are some valuable advantages in having a rear projection screen especially when owning more than one projector. The first advantage that comes to mind, after the obvious one of avoiding distortion, with at least one of the images, is the opportunity to add a light coloured background when photographing projected images on to other objects.

Should the rear projection screen simply be used to provide a background scene, often expected to be in a softer focus, an expensive screen is then not needed. Even tracing paper will do!

Inspired Accidents

Hoping that readers having reached this far will agree that the possibilities described, offer photographers working in colour so much more than simply recording reality. Trusting readers will also agree that this form of photography really justifies recognition in the art world, as it has certain qualities that are quite unlike those of any other media.

This has been published with the hope that photographers will not just create strange pictures or gimmickry, but produce works of true artistic merit.

The most satisfying time spent is without doubt in the creation of the work. Frequently regardless of the medium used, if an artist is truthful, the end result obtained is not always exactly as initially conceived.

Often the author has decided on a theme, or it could be just a thought about a pattern or composition that exists in the mind, in an abstract way, as yet unexpressed. Perhaps the last portrait taken inspires the desire to do more with it. Whilst considering and projecting certain images, to blend with such a portrait, something can suddenly be seen that fires the imagination.

At other times an idea occurs and a clearly defined image forms in the mind. However, whilst trying to create this picture, it is not so unusual that one strays across a certain amount of accidental inspiration. This can be the chance blending of two images in a way never thought of before, that looks just too good to ignore! The best thing to do then is to be prepared to change direction, and pursue the new study, rather than the original concept. The first attempted creation can always be tried again later on.

The excitement and pleasure one feels when inspired in this way is hard to describe. So even if one starts with just a vague concept, it is worth spending some time experimenting. Think of it as being the stage where the artist is selecting and mixing the paints on his palette, still unsure of what he might paint, but just feeling the need to make a start. Whilst thinking of the various possibilities, surprising relationships can develop, that might well become the basis of the final picture. It is only really by actually making a start that you create the opportunity for something exciting to happen.

The Best Way to Optimize Your Site Without Hiring an SEO Firm

The Best Way to Optimize Your Site Without Hiring an SEO Firm

This is probably the most unspoken question amongst potential SEO clients – search engine optimization can be expensive. Sure, the payoff is great, but if you don’t have the money to begin with, you simply can’t afford it. So what to do? Optimizing your own web site can seem like a daunting task, but is it really all that hard?

The answer is no. As long as you have some time, basic html skills, a little creativity and patience. Assuming you already have a good domain name, decent hosting, and a web site designed, here’s how I would approach it.

First, make sure the very first page everyone sees is search-engine friendly. Make sure your primary keyword phrase appears first in your title, and can be found throughout text on the first page and throughout the site. Make sure there is text on your first page and not just an entrance page or flash movie. Those types of intros and entrance pages look blank to search engines. You want yours to look relevant for your keyword or key phrase. Include few paragraphs about what the site is selling or offering. As well, be sure to include your geographic area if your service or product is geographically specific. Make sure that when people who don’t know anything about your industry or product hit that first page, that they have no doubt as to what the web site’s purpose is within seconds. If visitors have that experience, chances are, so will search engine robots.

Second, make sure the rest of your site matches the same search engine friendliness as your first page. Make sure there is a decent amount of textual information on each page, text that includes your keywords and key phrases. Your web site will never rank well on the search engines for any keyword or key phrase that can’t be found on the site itself. You also need to clean up your code. Try to use CSS styles when designing the site, and include the styles in a separate style sheet as opposed to the page’s header. Move all scripts in the header into an include file. You also want all of your inter-site links to use the full URL rather than just the file name or directory. These can sometimes count as incoming links.

The next thing you want to do is keep the whole site dynamic. There are a number of ways to do this. You can syndicate a frequently updated RSS feed on your site to keep the content fresh. You may want to have your own blog on-site and post to it frequently. You may accept submissions of content from web site visitors. There are many ways to keep your content fresh and growing. This shows the search engine that the site is not something that is out of date.

The final, and most important thing to do to make sure your site is well optimized, is launch an aggressive link development campaign. This isn’t quite as simple as it used to be, just merely trading links with relevant sites is not going to do the trick. What you want to do is focus on one-way incoming links. There are plenty of ways to do this. You can offer something in return for a link to your site that is not a link from your site – perhaps a discount on services or products, a mention in your newsletter or custom-written content for their site. Be creative, you’d be surprised what people will give you a link for.

Another way to get one-way incoming links is article submission. Write articles, like I am right now, and submit them to good article distribution places. Find out which online periodicals are in your industry and submit your articles to them in hopes of publication. Be sure to include a link back to your site in your author bio. The links from the article distribution sites are not very valuable themselves, but if, from those site, good relevant web sites pick up your article, they must link back to you and those are the links that will fare well for your web site.

You can also ask your friends, colleagues, business contacts, and anyone else you can think of who have web sites, to link to yours.

If you follow all of these, and don’t give up, you can see results anywhere from right away to 6 months from now. Be patient, nothing worthwhile is ever instantaneous, and hard work always pays off. Keep at it and you’ll be in the top ten and getting more traffic than you ever have before.

Basic Failsafe SEO Practices You Cant Go Without

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the implementation of certain techniques that will increase your site’s findability in the search engines.
There are two main forms of Search Engine Optimization: White Hat SEO and Black Hat SEO. White Hat SEO is the act of making your site adhere to the policies and guidelines the search engines have set forth so that they can more easily find your site and rank it according to its relevance to the keyword or phrase searched on. Alternatively, Black Hat SEO is the act of using techniques that are contrary to the terms of service of the search engines. Any technique that could be considered spammy, deceptive, or unethical falls under this category. The following basic SEO best practices will all stem from White Hat SEO techniques.
Keyword Research – The first step in the SEO process is to decide on what keywords or phrases you would like your site to show up for. Start with relevance. If you were someone searching for your site on the search engines what words or phrases would you type in to find your site? Try to be as specific as possible. Yet make this list as large as you possibly can. If you have any sort of analytics on your site or if you have done any online paid marketing, an analysis of these sources would be very valuable. You may also want to perform some type of competitive analysis at this point as well that will help you to see what your competitors are trying to show up for, and may also help you to define your niche in the industry.
Once you have this initial list, you need to prioritize the list according to relevance and search traffic. There are many free tools online that will give you a rough estimate of search traffic for your keywords. Use one of these to sort your list by the amount of searches each keyword or phrase gets. From there, choose the ten keywords you consider to be the most relevant and targeted for your business. These keywords will be the ones you optimize your site for.
On Page Optimization – The next phase of SEO is to go through your site and strategically implement those keywords on your site. The idea here is to make is so that the search engines (and anyone else for that matter) will easily be able to tell what each page of your site is about. Here are the two basic steps to take:
Content: Each page of your site should contain unique content that is focused around one of your keywords or phrases. Include the exact keyword or phrase at least once in the content of the page. Be careful not to overdo it. Your content should flow naturally to any visitor of your site and shouldn’t look like the only reason you have content is for the search engines.
Titles: Each page of your site has a title tag encoded into the language of the page. This title tag should be unique and relevant to every single page of the site. Be sure to include your keyword or phrase once within the title of the page. This keyword should match the keyword you focused your content around.
Link Building – The search engines work much like humans do. If I have one friend that I trust tell me he thinks a site is worth looking at, I may go check it out. But if I have 100 friends I trust tell me they all think the same site is worth looking at, I’m definitely going to check it out. It’s all about credibility. Both the level of trust and the quantity of trusted people play a role in the credibility.
The same goes for the search engines. The more sites that link to my site and the more trusted those sites are, the more credible and relevant the search engines will see my site.
So how do I get other sites to link to mine? There are many different solutions to this question. The solution the search engines like best and the one that actually works the best as well is termed “link bait.” This is exactly what you think it would be: creating something so enticing, unique, and captivating that people will just naturally link to it because of its value. This could be anything from a press release to a funny video to a free giveaway. The more creative you are and the more enticing your link bait is, the more links and traffic you’ll get to your site.

Watch Satellite TV On PC Without The Dish

Many people can’t grasp this idea at all. I find a lot of people just think it’s simply impossible to do this. However, younger individuals and more tech savvy individuals believe this is possible and are open to the idea.

Many people have satellite programming in their homes today. Most of these people have paid someone to come and set up the dishes, LNB’s and receivers. As a result most people are not very tech savvy and when the receiver gets zapped and the programming goes down they simply don’t know how to update the receiver or enter the new codes. This kind of business is really great for your satellite guy. You keep going back to him or her and you keep paying him or her to update you’re receiver. If you’re tech savvy then you won’t do this, but you still have to deal with your satellite going down every so often.

Now there is an alternative if you don’t want to deal with all the hassles involved with conventional FTA satellite systems. The alternative is to use Satellite PC TV software, which enable you to watch satellite quality programming from your computer. However, if you don’t want to go this route there are some other ways to get satellite on your PC. Many of these methods are more costly and more complex however.

A PCTV card is a hardware component you have to add to your computer. This will enable you to have a cable output on the back of your PC. So you can connect your cable into your PC and boom. Your PC now has cable television. The issue here is if you do want satellite programming as well, you will have to program the card, and also connect a mini dish to your computer. Which is basically a full dish installation system.

Another way to get satellite programming is to find live web feeds. The internet is very powerful these days and if you Google certain search terms like: Watch satellite TV on PC how to watch satellite on pc, satellite TV pc, satellite on pc, satellite TV for pc. You will come across many sites that have live feeds. Once again some sites may require you to pay a fee, and most sites will only have a couple feeds, which would mean you would have to limit what you watch.

I personally have tried both these methods and have not been very satisfied. I eventually came across a solid satellite tv to pc program called Satellite TV to PC Elite Edition 2007. It’s allows you to watch over 3000 channels, and you get all the same programming as a regular FTA satellite system.
