Odesk.com Review – Why I Have Quit Odesk After Nearly A Year

By Samantha On September 1, 2010No Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

 

I first started using Odesk.com about a year ago for my outsourcing needs as it has a huge following so is always there to provide you with the biggest channel for finding worthwhile outsourcers. At first everything went fine and for every job that I have advertised on Odesk I have received over 600 applicants so I always given fantastic ch0ice. This also meant that I could get outsourcers at a quarter of the price that you would pay thr0ugh more American style sites such as Elance.com.

Where is your favourite place to blog?

By Samantha On August 30, 2010 No Comments

As blogging is seen as an occupation that can be carried out anywhere I thought it would be a good idea to talk about your favourite places to blog.

For me, here on the Algarve in Portugal, I like to sit outside my favourite cafe which looks over the Mediteranean with a glass of fresh orange juice and my laptop. This is when it really hits home for me about how I now make my living. It wasn’t to long ago that I’d be sitting in Starbucks in Manchester with the rain lashing againt the window, taking my time over an over priced expresso whilst trying to get motivated to write a post to my blog.


How to stand out in a niche full of sharks

By Samantha On August 27, 2010 No Comments

You will find that there are many niches out there that you could enter and go on to make good money from but there are certain niches that seem like they are full of sharks, waiting to pounce if you even dare to compete against them.Well, if you want to take my advice it would be to not concern yourself with marketers like this, they do exist but big deal, that’s what I say.

I have gone into many niches that are renowmed for beining dominated by experienced internet marketers and if you listened to all of the talk in the forums you might as well stay in bed rather than attempt to compete with these people.


How to ease the pressure of blogging

By Samantha On August 25, 2010 No Comments

I know that blogging lends itself to the idea that you are making money around the clock and that you are truly able to live the 4 hour working week lifestyle but is this whole blogging business entirely without any kind of pressure.

Well, I have always believed that you make your own pressure and I suppose that the same could be said of blogging, you can make it as easy and as laid back as you like but on the other hand, if you want pressure then I’m sure that blogging could give it to you.


7 Powerful tips for professional niche blogging

By Samantha On August 23, 2010 1 Comment

If you really want to make good money from blogging then you should really take the following 7 powerful tips for professional niche blogging into consideration.

1.   When researching the subject matter of your blog you should come up with some search terms that are highly searched for with limited competition. When you have found a phrase such as this which sums up the whole blog you should try and incorporate it into a domain name. The ideal suffix would be a .com but if that is not available a .net or .org would suffice. Just this simple step will ensure that you have a headstart over your competiros with regard to search engine rankings.


Do you outsource any part of your blog?

By Samantha On August 20, 2010 No Comments

If you do not outsource any part of your blog I would strongly advise you to seriously consider it. If you sit down and think about it for one minute, you will soon see that there are many parts of your blog that you can outsource from the basic wordpress installations all the way up to the writing of the blog content.

For your first blog I would seriously think about doing it all yourself, from the building of the blog you will learn as you go along and even if you don’t like writing you will soon realise how easier it is once you get moving. It must be remembered that unless you know how to do everything yourself you won’t know if your outsourcers are doing the job correctly or not.


What to do when you search engine results drop

By Samantha On August 18, 2010 No Comments

So, picture the scene, your worm farming website has been on the first page of google for the well searched for term, ‘Worm farming Secrets’ and you have been making steady sales of your worm ebook for the last 3 months. You have noticed that the sales have come to a grinding halt and on further investigation you find that you website is no where to be found on the google first page results and the other phrases that you are usually ranked for are nowhere to be seen.


Do you write outlines for your blog posts

By Samantha On August 16, 2010 No Comments

Do you write outlines for your blog posts or do you just write them of the top of your head. There are some people who spend ages thinking about what they have to say and how they should say it but I am from the camp who doesn’t bother with outlines, I just get the thought in my head and start writing.

I suppose that when you think about it, it really depends on the subject of your blog. If it is highly technical it will probably needs writing out first, never mind an outline, but I find that I can get my point over far better when I just go with the flow, so to speak.

Why stress can ruin your online business success

By Samantha On August 13, 2010 No Comments

As soon as someone actually realises that they can make money online, and I mean realise for themselves and not just what other people have told them, you will often find that they really go for it and start to make more and more money until they decide that this is the way to go and they end up leaving their day job.

By Samantha On August 11, 2010 No Comments

After all, it was all made to sound so easy when you read all of the stories about how so many people had gone on to make a full time income from blogging and you can’t even get your blog to earn you enough for a coffee and a doughnut.

Should you use a local domain name

By Samantha On August 9, 2010 1 Comment

I am often asked if I would recommend using a local domain name, and to be honest, it really depends on what your website is being used for.

If your market is the rest of the world then you really can’t beat a .com. This is the most well know suffix and it is automatically recognised the whole world over. If the .com of your choice is unavailable I would go down the route of a .net  or a .org In my experience they are not as good but people who are into this type of thing tell me that they are just a effective.

Learn how to build a profitable membership site

By Samantha On August 4, 2010 No Comments

If you really want to make a good, solid passive income you cannot really get much better than your own membership site. Making a passive income from something that you only have to do once is the true internet marketing dream and the stuff that makes the 4 hour working week available to anyone who is prepared to put the effort in.

A membership site has to offer something that will make the members want to keep being a member of and to continue paying the membership subscription. These subscriptions are usually paid monthly but in some cases you will find the subscription is paid quarterly of annually.


How to get your blog readers heading for the archive links

By Samantha On August 2, 2010 No Comments

The best way in my opinion to get your blog readers heading for your archive links is very simple. Offer top quality content which will leave your readers wanting more.

I know that if I read a blog for the first time and the information and the style of the blog is just what I am looking for I always look to find the archive so I can read more. If the archive contains post that are also interesting I will look for an opt in page so that I can receive even more information. I am actually crying out for some more good stuff and the chances are if this person advises me to buy something there will be a great chance that I will.

The power of being personal with your blog writing

By Samantha On July 30, 2010 1 Comment

I don’t want to sound like one of these lovey dovey, happy clappy people, but I always regard my blog readers as friends and I hope that comes across with my style of writing. I like to talk to them as if I was talking to my next door neighbor and I would strongly advise you to do the same.


The power of the trust factor

By Samantha On July 28, 2010 No Comments

As soon as you realize how important the trust factor is in any type of business, not just an online business, you will be well on your way to making a success of what ever venture you choose to get involved with.

If you have been involved in internet marketing for any length of time you will be well aware that there are so many shady characters offering their wares that if your business can establish the trust factor you will instantly be head and shoulders above many of your competitors. I suppose it would be harsh to label many businesses in this way but it is the actions of the worst that have tarred so many others.


Why did you start your internet business

By Samantha On July 26, 2010 No Comments

The question, why did you start your internet business? always intrigues me because I am absolutely fascinated by the replies that are given. You hear the obvious ones like wanting to earn more money but also replies like people wanting to give up their job and earn a passive income whilst they are traveling around the world.

I always advise people to ask themselves this question at different times through their internet marketing career so that they can keep on track with regard to the hopes and dreams of their internet business.


Link exchanges – not for me thanks

By Samantha On July 23, 2010 No Comments

I don’t know what it is about link exchanges but I would much rather give it a miss and concentrate on other methods in which to promote my websites and blogs. I sincerely believe, as with anything in life, that you get out of it what you put in and to me, link exchanges don’t really offer anyone any benefits apart from the people that are exchanging links, and I believe that at some point they will not be as anywhere near as effective as they are now, and when that point comes, all of the work that goes into these link exchanges will be a waste of time.

By Samantha On July 21, 2010 No Comments

Why you should have blogging principles when you blog

By Samantha On July 16, 2010 No Comments
