To be honest, it has been a long time since my last article on EzineArticles.

I believe EzineArticles contributes a lot of traffic to my site.

The question – is it still relevant in 2012?

Come on, speak up and share your views!

2012 is approaching fast…

This is a long awaited review for AWAI : Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting.

AWAI (American Writers & Artists Inc.) have designed many programs to help aspiring writers to achieve success in the writing industry.

Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting is one of the many programs available, if you are interested in earning six-figure with copywriting. This is a comprehensive program that guides you step-by-step.

After so many months of training, I can conclude that this program is a great copywriting training kit for aspiring writers.

Best of all you can learn and practice for as long as you want. It is definitely helpful especially for those who are working full time. At least you will be able to learn something over the weekend.

It is easy to understand and to follow.

Apart from a step-by-step guide, you have access to webinars, special reports and ebooks to help you understand copywriting.

Once you have signed up for the program you will get to enjoy lifetime support from AWAI Member Forum.

If you are an aspiring writer, you should definitely sign up for this program. At $397, it is definitely worth every cent you pay.

Have you ever gone to a bookstore and stood for a moment to appreciate the sheer number of books available to read? Searching for reading material might be a problem if you’re looking for your next book without a clear idea of what exactly you want to read. Sure, you could peruse the staff recommendations shelves or view Amazon.com’s “readers who bought this also bought…” section, but you wouldn’t be finding the books you want. Luckily there are several websites designed for the indecisive and/or ill-informed reader. Here are some of the most useful sites that will help you decide your next read.

Goodreads

Goodreads is a sort of social networking hub for avid readers (mostly readers of fiction). On your Goodreads profile you can rate the books you’ve read and write reviews for other users. If you’re looking for a new book you can check out users who have read the same books you‘ve read and see what they recommend. The website will also tell you if a book is featured on one of their lists that catalog the great books based on genre, year of publication, or author. All the books featured on Goodreads have links to Amazon where you can purchase them at bargain prices.

What should I read next?

WhatshouldIreadnext is a bare-bones book recommendation site. Simply type in a book that interests you and the site will list dozens of related works that you might find appealing. A website like this might be useful in a pinch. Say you’re chatting with a friend a online and they’re casting about for a book to read on an upcoming trip. Ask them what they’ve read lately, enter it at WhatshouldIreadnext, and recommend the first hit that shows up. Congratulations, you’ve become to go-to person for reading recommendations!

Literature Map

Literature Map is an author recommendation service fueled by feedback from its users. Type an author’s name into the search engine, and Literature Map will provide a graphic “map” of authors surrounding the search in the middle. The graphic forms a kind of web, with the most related authors occupying space closer to the author’s name that you entered, with the more tangentially related authors occupying the space on the edge of the web. Literature Map gives that perspective that all writers are in some way interconnected whether it’s through their subject matter, writing style, or period of writing.

Booklamp

Booklamp is an up and coming book recommendation website roughly modeled after the Pandora website aimed at recommending music based on the user’s initial interests. Enter the name of a book or author and Booklamp will not only pull up recommended reads; it will also list statistics that allow you to more readily differentiate between ostensibly similar books. The stats are broken down into criteria based on a book’s central themes. Categories include topics ranging from “Music Performance / Musical Pursuits” to “Partying / Deviance” to “Suburban Living / Neighborhoods.”

A great video on how to make more money by subcontracting your freelance work so that you have more time to do something else.

I for one , hate to connect my Facebook in order to leave comments on blogs (surprisingly I don’t mind to connect to my Twitter).

I only have one Facebook account and it is personal!

So I do not wish to connect and share my details. Facebook is a place for me to connect with my friends and family.

However, I noticed that some people just love to use their Facebook account for everything on the internet.

It is also rather annoying to see sites offering Facebook connection as another option to sign up or log in.

This is my personal opinion.

What is on your mind?

Do you connect your Facebook account for every little thing you do on the internet – commenting, sign up, log in, e.t.c. ?
