As a blogger, you lose before you gain. If you spent alot of money behind a domain and a hosting plan then you will be losing money the first 6 months or more. Only when you have acquired a good base of readers, then you will be able to move above the losses incurred. Eventually at some point you will start to see profits and rewards from all of your hard work.

I know how hard it is to gain readers and how much trouble it is to start off. Sometimes a year or 2 may pass with no significant increase in the subscribers or readers or even page views. This will always be a problem, many bloggers have removed this as a threat to them via advertising and the works. As I said before, in order to gain, you must lose. There’s something you should remember. Not all of your projects will be successful or even be recognized, the important thing is that you worked on it with all that you had and you still are. You never forget what what you are going for.

Tips That Help You Mange Your Time

1. Watch The Clock – Ensure that the time you set aside for a certain project is done. If you set aside a couple hours every other day to write a post then ensure that you write a post at that time and at that time alone. Don’t move into your other projects time as it can often lead to you missing the deadlines for the projects. In addition to that if you are depriving your other projects of time then you essentially deprive it of becoming your first-rate work and you will have to settle for second-rate work, nobody likes second-rate or knowing that their work is second-rate.
2. Stop With The Negatives – Something that you see all though your life, negative things often influence your thinking, at some point or the other it is responsible for you losing, sleep and valuable time. If you often find yourself with people who express negativity then you in turn express some of the negativity. This will impact on how you write and do your projects.
3. Plans – Often missed, as it puts you a supposed ‘rut’, but if you let your work sneak up on you then you will always be a second rate, and never be able to let it go.
4. Make Time For Your Own Insanity – I listen to music and reflect and think about the future, lame I know. You need to find that thing that allows you to lose yourself for a little bit. This keeps you sane. Whether it be playing games, making music or writing short novels, anything you can lose yourself in ensures your insanity never takes over.
5. Social Activity – I included this one because I like to be socially active, I like to meet new people and find new adventure, you never know who or what you will discover. A New friend, another muse? A partner? There is always something in the world that can be derived from social activity. Maybe if you look out the window, your break can be found?

Maybe, life gets easier? It is up to you in the end, now go out there, find yourself, find your muse and return and give the people what they want, and keep time for yourself.

Now as it turns out many social networks are now reskining their faces and hiring newer and newer programmers to to design and program a whole new range of features for their ever evolving platforms.

This brings me with a point that I am sure you have asked yourselves at some point in your internet/blog journey. You see your blog is not just a personal diary, that you run to when you have a problem or a little piece of the blogosphere that educates on a matter (s).

You see your blog a sophisticated piece of technology that needs to be at the top of its game to fully give you the chance of making it. It is here by the means of thousands of hours of programming and it is the result of many programmers, sometimes one, sometimes hundreds. It is tailor-made to fit a general range of entities, that you fit into.

If you all have noticed, this site runs on WordPress 2.8.4, and this is good, and when a new update comes out I try and upgrade. However, many social networks are taking this to new heights and integrating one another VIA API’s and such. This isn’t all that bad, but one has got to look at the downside, a constant bombardment of Twitter updates on Digg or Facebook? Really?

You gotta look at what’s happening, there are so many things with the internet, that are all combing, maybe we don’t want to? When a site changes too much there tends to be quite a bittersweet following, although it is mainly bitter.

A site that changes too much, kinda owns you at the end of the day, new technology is often unstable, and can cause many problems with existing technology.

However, it is currently WordPress 2.9-rare which means that it is a pre-alpha WordPress.

They are currently finishing up the programming on the new features, and eliminating bugs.

There are a ton of new features in the new WordPress 2.9 that I can’t wait to get my hands on!!

I can’t wait to see how the new WordPress will come out, so here’s to waiting!

I decided to run around the blogosphere earlier and to my dismay, the blog that caught my attention, was pretty much none. There was no blog that I would care to spend my precious time on, let alone explore the site. They were so unappealing, that I couldn’t stand them at all.

So what I am telling you in essence, if your blog is boring, then your blog is boring. It will not be able to retain the users and readers long enough for them to unintentional aid you.

So how do you get you blog not to be boring? Well let’s take a look into the cause first.

1. Your Design – a unattractive design catches the eye quicker than the content. So even if you the best content in all of the internet, if your design sucks then so do you, and your blog.
2. Your Ads – Go ahead water-down your site with hundreds of ads and links, see where that gets you. If you site contains too many ads, it becomes intrusive, and it prevents you from building a true and loyal readership.
3. Your actual writing style – Now don’t get me wrong, its to be unique. This help separate you from the pack. But there is something as going over board. Your spelling can become annoying, how you phrase things etc.
4. Your Comprehension (Big word?) – If your readers cannot understand what you write and post about then what hope is there for them to return? Will they return to read your nonsense?

So now that we know some common mistakes, don’t you think it is time we fixed these little problems? That, are in fact, not so little?

Your Design

So how do you fix a design? If you are a small blogger, or a newbie, this will be very difficult as you have no budget. You can either consult another blogger, or ask a designer, who may charge you. However, if you have some CSS or HTML knowledge then you can make it yourself (You also need PHP to code a WordPress Theme).

Now let’s think about this for a minute, how do you want your visitors to feel when they see your website? Happy? Sad? Serious?

There are color schemes and layouts that reflect all of these, upon viewing.

If you are running a WordPress blogs, then a quick search on Google will help you find a theme to match your site.

Your Ads

Your ads are you main source of income, but your visitors didn’t come to see your ads, they have come to see your content, and if your content is obscured by the advertisements that you place on your site, then they will click it. (They may, hardly likely) Even so, a site with too much ads, often tend to load slowly and take away from the messages that the author is trying to impose on his readers. Long story, short. Drop the amount of ads you have for content, when the time comes you may slowly reintroduce ads into your site.

Writing Style

Now as I said before, your writing style is just as you signature, it is your own unique way of identifying with the world, and who you are. Your style of writing is always bittersweet. Some may like it, some may not. You choose a writing style and you move 0n. Once selected it becomes you.

There are however exceptions, there is always ways to piss people off. If the style isn’t clear to the reader then you lose a valuable subscriber.

Your Comprehension

Comprehension is one’s ability to understand an extract, etc. Now put simply, is your content easy enough to understand? Do people have confidence in you to teach them what they don’t know?

You content should be easy enough to understand, and shouldn’t contain too much terms that a reader is unaware of, if your post must contain it, you should specify and allow a link to a definition.

Conclusion

Being a boring-ass writer sucks, and you need to spice it up quite a bit. From your design to your actual content. There are many mistakes, and sometimes they are not all bad. However, as I said before, there are times when we do over do it.

As it turns out I had a banned word on the site, I have gotten rid of it now You can now browse the site in peace. As those of you all who read the blog yesterday.

Now I am in the middle of obtaining some upgrades for my computer and I will update you guys accordingly. As for the time enjoy the site.

So you have heard of many bloggers who blog about the happenings of Hollywood, the glamor, the glitz. You know of those who review movies, music, the downfall of the stars, the upthrust etc. Now think for a minute, who exactly makes the most amount of money at the end of the day? Who do you think? Have you figured out?

Now let me explain one thing to you. They can all make massive amounts of cash, but the thing is, they all have different amount of times, in which, the true results are seen. In order to break it down you need to first analyze what the genres are and how do they affect society. In addition, you should be able to use the society, in order to become successful.

Have you thought about it? Do you understand? Well let’s break it down a little further.

1. Music – What’s Music got to do with it? Everything, my friend, we are allows looking for new music to listen and download. So you can review music, and not only give yourself some new music to listen but you also give others new music, and if you ever look up the keyword, music, its quite a lot. Music is a hot topic practically everyday, somewhere in the world.The negatives? It isn’t a lot but there are still some, minor though. The minor stuff is that you can get a lot of negative reviews for your reviews on music. But all is fair in love and war. Right?
2. Movies – Pretty much the same exact thing as the music.
3. Gossip – Yes we all this too well. We all take a peek at a gossip magazine or E! News at some point, sometimes we are captivated, others times we don’t really care, but it is still safe to say that there are a lot of gossip out there that you can publish. Now don’t speculate, too much. Just pretty much report on what you see and hear, and after you have a good base, then work on the extras

Well that was a nice little break down, wouldn’t you say? You can now choose which genre of Hollywood, your going to be blogging about.

//registerTweak('admin-head-content','show_nano_updates');

We now understand that we, as an individual can easily Bank On Hollywood, and we don’t have to be big huge companies/people etc., we don’t even need to be in the same continent. All we need is our own opinions and minds.

Now that we understand this, it is time that we begin to scout. Scouting is good, this ensures that you know what everybody else wants to know. And if you know what everyone else knows, then you are the person that everyone will be going to. Imagine, you could be the Perez Hilton or Just Jared. Although Perez isn’t Hollywood’s most favorite person.

But as for scouting goes, Google It, Bing it, Yahoo! It, just Do it. Search for some big bloggers, who blog about this, DO NOT STEAL THEIR CONTENT. Read up, then fix up the facts from proper news sites and your good

Reminder: DO NOT STEAL ANYONE’S CONTENT, IT ISN’T COOL!
