LinkedIn - A social media for your business...

LinkedIn is a - way too often overlooked - way to get lots of traffic, sales and perhaps most importantly networking with future contacts to whatever your business may be. I have to admit that I have been very, very lazy in using LinkedIn myself over the years. And that I say with a huge amount of regret.

Well, anyways, LinkedIn - for those of you that don't know it - is basically a social media for businesses. There are over 300 million worldwide users and new ones are joining every second. It is HUGE!

I read a bunch of articles from sources like Forbes, Time, Fortune and many more - yes, I follow most of those on Twitter - and it suddenly struck me; This is way more important for us marketers and affiliates than any Facebook will ever be.

I found a nice little program that shows you all about marketing on LinkedIn called Linkedinfluence, created by Trevor Turnbull, that even shows you how to do marketing with a zero-budget, and that is very important for me when trying out something new!

Head over to the Linkedinfluence homepage, found HERE, read about it for yourselves; I am sure you can learn something just from the salespage :)

Cryptocurrency scams and how to avoid them...

I intended to briefly go over a few of the most common scams in the now so popular and fascinating cryptocurrency business. Oh boy, how I got it wrong. All wrong. The short article I wrote soon grew into a five part series, then into seven part and now it is developing to a smaller book. And it is still not finished.

Simply put, I took on a way too big project for a blog of this kind to handle. Even if I break it to parts it is way too massive.

Well, I will - I have to since I started on it - finish it, hopefully sooner than later. Then I'll find a way to get it uploaded somewhere so you people can get it downloaded and have a look at it.

In the meantime, while we all wait for it to finish itself, you and I can have a look at a booklet called "Crypto-currency evolution" by the Finance Freedom Foundation.

Get Paid To Test Apps

Every time a company publish a new program or a product, or actually before they do, they need tester to see that everything work as intended. Therefore they need "normal" people, outside of the company, to do testing of the program so that website owners, coders, and designers can see and evaluate the obstacles that real people experience with their products.

Because of user testers, they are - hopefully - able to catch those obstacles and fix them before sending out those products to the outside world or consumers. User testers are very valuable to the online world, and so it is great to be able to get paid to test websites and apps.

One of the companies that gather all of these products into one place, to be able to give us easy access to those that need testers, is called AppCoiner.

And AppCoiner constantly needs more members from all over the world! This site has a HUGE database of apps that you can get paid to download, test and write a review on. I’m talking about the hottest new apps in music, gaming, photography, business, cooking… you name it. Now, whenever I have downtime at my day job I log on to AppCoiner and find more apps to review.

The Power of Habits

The disasterous amount of damage done to your business when you create the wrong habits is something many of us tend to overlook. Until it is too late; One day we simply wake up, and there they are.

For a couple of months now, the first thing I did every morning when I woke up was to make me some coffee, and while I waited for that I turned on my laptop, opened my main email account to see if there were any important messages, then a second tab with the morning news, put the radio on for the local news, a third tab with whatever program I work at the moment, drank my coffee while I glanced at the news, answered my mails... And then got to work. Wrote a few short comments on future articles, planned the clicks I was going to do during the day, wrote some stuff to my autoresponders and so on.

Sound familiar? Yes, and it is the way most of us do things. And it is a pretty good way of doing things.

Then I, one day a few weeks back my internet went down. I had a temporary line installed, a much slower one. That led to me having the time to drink my coffee before I even had the connection up and going in the mornings. And it was so slow, that when I finally, after three huge cups of coffee, had it up and going I could only have one tab open at time. So, when I'd read my mail, I read the news, opened another email of mine, and then a third. Having checked all of those, I already needed a break. So everything got late; No articles, all the ideas I woke up with had to be put first on paper, then written into some kind of offline editor and then moved online. Everything that was not immediately needed for my main programs had
to be cut off. All those little things, the "Extras", that I had put a few minutes on every morning were gone.

Well, my internet connection came back. But there I was, still opening one tab at a time, sipping my coffee, staring blank. I had developed a bad habit.

Now, when I'm trying to get back on track, my work feel like work. And you all know the danger of that, don't you? Work is supposed to be fun, or... You quit!

Yes, well. I am NOT going to quit, but as a simple word of advice: Look over your habits. In time!

Working from home - For REAL

Oh, yes. There is a thing or two to say about the "Work at home" business. After all, that is what many of us do for a living. But NO, I am NOT, as you for certainty now are thinking, going to promote any obscure scam or go nuts about how to promote your business using some social media here. Not this time.

No, I am going to tell you how I feel sick when I see all those happy people - you know the pictures, you see them everywhere - sitti

ng there smiling behind a clean desk, perhaps waving at the camera, telling you some lies about how they only work four hours per week and make a fortune doing absolutely nothing.

UGH! My blood pressure rises to never seen heights when I just think of it.

Now. I am not saying that every single one of those pictures, and/or the people on them are fake, and some of them might just be tidy, but really; You d

on't have to be a mathematician to figure out the odds of all of those millions of people becoming not working millionaires simply on a PTC-program...

To show you all how it really may look like in the facilities of a serious online marketer I hereby, completely without shame, show you my working space. At home:
