Make Money With Twitter

Make Money With Twitter

I am writing this post for people who are already on twitter, (and if you are not create one for free).

Well, twitter is in news every now and then, twitter is actually a micro-blogging platform, which lets you publish one liners, it has a limit of publishing 140 characters only.  Almost every blogger is using twitter, and it has become much more than a micro-blogging platform. People find it easy to tweet as it is less time consuming and it is lot more easier to publish your tweets.

Many celebrities and politicians are using twitter to connect with their fans/followers respectively. It is famous throughout the world.

Many people who have got a larger number of followers, have started making money by tweeting sponsored products/services. For example: a celebrity who has around 100,000 followers on twitter, tweets about a product he is trying his hands on, a majority of his followers would want to try the same product. This would not come as a surprise if the celebrity has been paid for tweeting about the product.  He might have been paid $1000 or so.

In the same way, if you have a big number of followers on twitter, you can also get paid you tweeting.  Sponsored Tweets is a service that can get you advertisers. There is a condition to get advertisers, you twitter account should be six month old. with a minimum of 100 followers. you might not get paid $1000 for a tweet, but you will definitely get paid something.

PS: For those who have landed on my blog for the first time, I am a Full Time Blogger that means I make full time living fro my online activities, like Facebook, Twitter and Blogging.

How to gain confidence

It is said that first impression is the last impression. Few have proved it wrong, but usually this is true, at least for people like me and you, that is why we take the first impressions so much seriously. In India, it is taken more seriously. This is the way you gain confidence in something. So, try making as good first impression as you can.

Confidence plays an important role in getting success in every field, the more confidence you gain, the more success you achieve, or vice versa. If you are confident about the interview you are going to appear in, you will definitely crack the interview.

There are tons of coaching institutions set up for the purpose of coaching personality development and they all aim to fill confidence in their students, this shows that how much important this Confidence is. If you are not confident enough about anything, you will hardly achieve it, there are few key points which are needed to be noticed in order to gain confidence.

Love you life

The first thing you will have to do is to love you life, you can’t gain confidence if you don’t love your life. And to love your life, you need to accept all the negative and positives about you, you need to work on your negatives to balance your life.

Clothing

The other thing affect your confidence is wearing sense, clothing, if you are not feeling comfortable in what you are wearing, you will never look confident. So choose clothes to wear in which you feel comfortable walking and going out.

Looking Fresh

Another important point to gain confidence is to look fresh, that does not mean that you will look fresh if you take bath regularly, looking fresh is much more than taking bath regularly. It’s about thinking positive, staying fit, getting up early in the morning. By practicing all the things you look fresh and that increases your confidence level.

Knowledge

I read somewhere that a fool is not recognized until he speaks out. Because, on whatever topics he speaks, he will lack knowledge on that topic. So, if you among those people who speak on the topic where u lack knowledge, step doing it and stop making yourself recognized as a fool, try learning things and gaining knowledge before speaking out.

Eye Contact

The other big things for gaining confidence is eye contact, it does not mean that you keep staring people you come across on the road. It means, look straight into the eyes while talking to the person, it gives you a confidence of staying in the conversation and sometimes helps you in dominating a discussion

How to wake up early

Well this is the question every insomniac would be eager on ask in order to correct his or her insomnia and get some good night sleep and go to work or college without dosing off in front of that hot chick/cool dude.

The answer is very simple and everyone knows about it,

To wake up early, you have to sleep early,

There is something we all used to think when we were in KG classes. Early to bed early to rise make a man healthy wealthy and wise.

Could be true, how its same like which came first, the Hen or the Egg. I mean what is it? We get up late because we sleep late or se sleep late because we get up late.

Coming back to the solution, which is, to wake up early, you have to sleep early,

Has anyone tried it? Yes, I did, and you know what, I did not succeed, I ended up wasting four hours in my bed calling sleep.

So, what I learned is, you can’t sleep when you don’t feel like sleeping. So, you will have to take action against your laziness, and have some less sleep for a week or two. What I mean to say is, go to bed at the same time you are going, but set an alarm clock, and wake up accordingly, and for God sake, don’t let you sleep for an extra minute. Get out of your comfort zone. And believe me, when you do this 1,2,3,4…….10 times in a row. You will certainly learn to wake up early.

My personal experience,

At the time of writing ,it’s 11:55Pm, and I need to wake up a 6Am, that mean I have got 6 hours to sleep, this is the 8th day I am doing this, and it’s working, now I am getting dizzy and I am going to crash into the bed as soon as I publish this post on the blog. I am going to complete my sleep in these 6 hours. I will not waste any time in calling for my sleep and getting into the dreams, which is the best part of the night.

So, instead of sleeping early at night to wake up early in the morning, just wake up early.

Bread & Jalebi

Its Exactly 8AM Right Now, I Think Today is going to be a big day for me, A whole long day, as I am Up Early. 6th Day of 2010 and it’s going good. I think I’ll reach where I want to be.

Anyway, I Start my Day like any other guy Cleaning myself Up. Then Comes The breakfast time, I hardly had breakfasts in 2009, and I want to change this in 2010 by having it every morning.

I still remember the days at AMU, where We (I with my Friends) Used to have Jalebi and Bread for the Breakfast, Few look at is as an unusual combination, but it’s quite famous in Aligarh. We accepted this kind of breakfast in our first year stay and we started linking it in the second year and now after 5 years I am missing Bread Jalebi, there is one more reason for it, you don’t have to do anything on your own, i mean you don't have to cook anything Just buy and eat it and you are done with your breakfast within 5 minutes. Pretty Good for bust people like me.

Now I am really craving for it, but I know I am not going to get Jalebi at 8 in the morning in Delhi, yes I have already tried it in 2007, the last time I was craving for my Daily breakfast.

For those who came to the blog from Outside India, Jalebi is an Indian Sweet, which is orange in color and is made of Sugar.

Let me save some of my effort in Defining it by Linking the WikiPedia Definition of Jalebi.

Time will keep changing and many companies will hit the competitive market for consumers by introducing their Sweets or Chocolates in India, but Jalebi has it’s own place.

I’ll try to Have Some in the evening. It’s 8:30 Am Now, Time to arrange some breakfast, yes, I know I won’t Get Jalebi.

Unanswered Questions?

This one should be a Quick Post, A Real Short Post.

Ever Heard of “Time Management”

Its something related to managing your time.

Time is fixed, its the same for everyone.

Yet, few people achieve so many things in the same time and So many people get few things on their right side.

Why is this so?

All The credit goes to Time Management.

Today, Someone asked me Why god has created few intelligent people and made rest of them stupid?

Do you agree with it? is God Unfair to most of the people.

No, I don’t think so,

Intelligence varies. For few people You are intelligent, but for few you Dumb. for few you are Beautiful, for few you are Boring.

Why people under estimate themselves, why they crib! why they care what other think about them?

This is life and this is the way it is. Not everything can be perfect, just let it be.

Yes, Moving On would be the right word for it.

Move On. Don’t try to make it perfect, because i won’t be.

The Money Plant

Headline:Michael Jackson Died today, it came as a shock to me as he was just 50 an was rehearsing for his comeback tour which was supposed to be started on 14th of July

temoneyplant Does anyone know why this plant is called the Money Plant?                Well Not because if grows money on it, no it doesn’t.

So why the hell it is called “The Money Plant”?

Anyone in the Class?, No! Well Let me tell you then.

It is called the money plant simply because it has round, plump, flat leaves that might, with a bit of imagination, look like a coin! This plant is usually kept as a dwarf in the house but can be grown in the garden too. — Mahendra Rawat, via e-mail. I got this answer while searching on net.

After reading this, I went to my the Balcony where we have got two money plants, which grow faster than my hairs. Anyways, I went there and applied my Imagination at max, unfortunately, I couldn’t figure it out. I mean couldn’t imagine money on my plant.

There is one more reason they call it money plant, i am not sure about other countries, but in India, I have seen people talking that if they have money plant in their Homes, they will never run out of money.

What the hell, how foolish it is. Oh wait, they are at my home also, two of them, maybe they are for decoration stuff.

But, if its true, We should place them at BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange).
