 Of course if you have read my previous post. you should know that I’m aiming to be a millionaire before 30. A million is not hard to achieve, it takes lots of courage to try new things out which I can put it as GUTS – Genuine Urge To Succeed. Working in an organization provides job security and of course a monthly income. Doing your own business on the other hand, is NOT secure and of course there are NO GUARANTEES that it will provide you with a stable income.
Venturing off into the Internet looking for opportunities is simply like walking into the WildWildWest (WWW). You might find what you are looking for or simply beating around the bush and maybe, just maybe, you might find a bear gnarling and EAT YOU on the spot!

 What will you do when you really made $1,000,000? I think you should in fact quickly consult your local legal accountancy firm! Having $1,000,000 is FANTASTIC. But paying your government a hefty tax isn’t fun. If the government is charging you 28% tax, you will in fact pay around $200,000 of the money to them. Isn’t this a fun wrecker?
There are in fact many ways to avoid paying ‘additional’ taxes to your government. Purchases made by your ‘company’ which reduces your total million dollar income is in fact a tax saver. However, purchase accordingly and NEVER get items which are not tax deductible.
Of course, consult your local legal accountancy firm to help you ‘save’ you tax dollars. One of them is of course San Diego accounting.

 Hair loss is common especially amongst the male gender. Though some female does have hair loss problems as well, it is some how genetically destined that man will have more serious hair problems.
However, not all hair loss is attributed to genetics. Some are simply because of your daily diet that has insufficient vitamin. Also, stress is another hair killer. Though it is not in your genetics to be bald, a good amount of stress will make MORE of your hair fall. Another factor of hair loss is because of bad hair care. After your bath, do not and I repeat, DO NOT vigorously use the towel to dry your hair! It will do more hair then good. Ideally, use your towel gently over your head. Also don’t always scratch you head, but scratch it gently.
Of course, consult your hair specialist if you have uncontrollable hair loss problems. They create miracles! Try finding hair restoration in New Jersey.

 Hmm, you might have already seen this device over at other blogs. I’ve noticed that there is a fluctuation in blog post over this little device. So I thought why not I do my own review on it - Apple iPhone!
At first glance, this device ROCKS! It’s so beautiful and ecstatically designed. It has class, elegance, it’s black and the icons for navigation are simply well designed! I think it’s one of the best New Year gifts that you can ever give. I don’t mind receiving this at all (*hint + **hints).
Here are some of the power pack features that Apple iPhone can deliver:

 Here’s a rare paid-to-blog site. I’ve never seen any website which did a review on this site. I did a Google check on paid-to-blog sites and this popped up somewhere in the search. I browsed through their site to see what they are up to as they claimed to be different from the rest of the paid-to-blog sites.
First up as usual, there are rates for each of your reviews requested by an advertiser. For ecashblog.com, they pay $2 for a random blog submitted by a blogger. And $4 to $8 if an advertiser requested a blogger to review their product or services.
However, the most interesting part is of course the payment part. ecashblog.com pays through PayPal! Of course anything that pays through PayPal is fantastic. It’s quick and easy but most importantly it’s convenient! It may take up to 72 hours for your payment to be banked in.
I’m not sure how well this site performs, but I’ve already submitted my application to them. Hope they will approve my blog and once again hope that I will instantly get a blogging job!
For those who are always on the paid-to-blog job hunting, you might give ecashblog.com a try.

 V7N is offering a contextual link building service! For those that have read my previous post on Google Page Rank and tips on building a website, links are in fact very important for a website. By using V7N’s service, new websites can actually benefit from this service. Upon request, blog owners will receive blogging jobs or requests from V7N to blog on certain subject or industry. Just remember to provide a link in your post back to the sponsor when you are done!
If you notice, blog advertising or link building services are becoming a whole new industry. Sites such as Blogvertise, Blogitive, Blogit, BlogToProfit, Money4Blogs, Text Link Ads and more are all dealing in the same industry. There’s no indication how lucrative this industry is, but if proven successful, I’m sure it will be a million dollar business. You might find Yahoo! or Google eyeing on your company and high possibility that they will buy it. One fine example is YouTube.

 You might be wondering what all this technical mumbo jumbo about Page Ranks and link building is. One thing for sure, a Page Rank is a yardstick used by some Paid to Blog sites – not all but some. Though a Page Rank does not necessarily get your site listed in top spots in a search, but one thing for sure, Google uses it to determine which site is significant or important compared to another. A site with PR0 might not be even indexed in Google. Contrary, a PR4 site or better will get more attention compared to a site without a page rank. For example, if you do a search in Google on ‘DotMySpot’, there are in fact close to 13,000 items found related to it. Another thing I notice, each time I update my contents, Google spiders or crawlers will almost instantly index it into their directory.
These are some of the criterias used by Google to assign Page Ranks to websites:

 Another method for promoting your blog is to use web directories. It’s simple, easy and best of all it’s FREE. Examples of web directories are V7N Web Directory, BlogFlux Directory, 2-Review, TopBlogArea.com, BlogRankings, etc. If you do a Google PR check on these directories, some of it actually has quite a good ranking. The higher PR the better and in this case, PR6 might get your new site indexed in Google in 24 hours.
On my previous post, I mentioned that blog promotion or advertising is in fact utterly important and is an ongoing process. Get used to it and learn to love it. Apart from dropping messages everywhere you go, you can also add your blog into a blog directory. There are in fact countless of blog directories available on the Internet. Some are quite new and some are very established. For new ones, you might be able to dominate the top ten spot. Established directories on the other hand, require some time and of course plenty of traffic to get you a good spot.

 While I was building up my incoming links, I met Matt Jones over his site at http://matt608.blogspot.com. He was curious on how this site was built. I was inspired to write about this in my blog so probably it will provide some guidelines to people that might need it.
Rule of thumb when you are building a website
1. Make sure you subscribe to a web host. It’s much better, indexing is faster, search engines love domain names with .com, more software, better flexibility, larger bandwidth, more professional, more likely to get a Google Page Rank. Choose a blogging platform that you are comfortable with. Don’t forget future enhancements, if not you will most likely shift to a different platform later – this is a waste of time and should not occur. Try WordPress or Joomla both are great. For Joomla, there will be challenges during implementation as there will be lots of things to learn. Read my articles on WordPress and Joomla.
2. Here are some web hosting services that you should definitely give it a try:
GoDaddy - $3.99/m, cheaper if you pay a year + $1.99 domain/year
1and1.com - $1.50/m, min subscription 6 months + FREE domain

 I came to know about this link advertising service while on my blog browsing run just a moment ago. The concept is simply fantastic. A quick registration at the main site revealed that I could earn in between $50 to $125 a month if I managed to sell all the sponsored links spots on my site. Of course, 50% goes to Text Link Ads (I’ve already deducted the figure mentioned earlier). That’s good money!
Another interesting fact, this site is in fact the brainchild of Darren Rowse – the problogger. No wonder he’s getting such a big income online. Moreover, a quick installation of an additional module to my Joomla! site is quite seamless. It was easy and quick, I just had to follow all the instructions provided. They have such well designed software that once I’ve successfully installed the module, an email was sent instantly to me. How about that? Makes me wonder how do they know I’ve installed it?
Also, there’s feedvertising – Selling feed URL for your advertisers. I guess all you need to do is to place a feed URL button in your website for the advertiser.

 I think it's quite necessary to re-review PayPerPost. Looking back, I’ve actually submitted my blog for review in order to accept blog advertisement jobs. Well the first attempt failed because they rejected my blog saying that there’s no archive link. With the new template, I purposely renamed one of my links to archive. You can view all my previous postings through that button.
Coming back to the topic in my personal opinion, I think PayPerPost is quite lucrative. They have a corner at the bottom of the Blogger Dashboard showing the top income earner. The top earner earned well over $5,000. Well this could well supplement my income if PayPerPost accepts my blog for the second time – Hopefully they will! I need the money.
Here is a picture of the top income earners:
