We Sell for Less. Is it familiar to you? Let’s put some fresh air: Save Money, Live Better. It’s Walmart, you recognize it now, don’t you? Everybody knows this giant retailer if not by saving money then by WMT abbreviation for sure.

The reason I recall Walmart millennia slogan We Sell for Less was a commercial I’ve dug recently when I’ve been thinking of promotion for my client which is declining in sales because of construction slow down.

Simple slogan with power words. Well, then Walmart had changed slogan to Save Money, Live Better. Again power words Live Better. Don’t get me wrong, but I don’t understand how I can live better by saving money. Nevertheless it works in advertising and beyond, and Walmart make huge money on Save Money.

My primary goal today was a powerful advertising. Then I switched to other subject – how to make money online using such giant as Walmart. Not Walmart itself, but leveraging a big name.

If you are not familiar with this “The American Wal-Mart Phenomenon of this September” take a look I was impressed how fast this blog became popular in a couple of months hitting twitter, facebook, and CNN. Few details:
Launched August 2009,
Created by three friends who were inspired by their trip to Wal-Mart,
Features photos of Wal-Mart shoppers.
Unique Daily Visitors – 386,751

Two months blog and six figure daily traffic. What do you think? I saw a lot of funny (or stupid if you will) photographs before, but not so popular as on peopleofwalmart.com What makes people of Walmart so hot? Big name or American Phenomenon?

Having a good product or service of any kind doesn’t mean good on sales. Even providing services to group of customers who accustomed to use it requires investment in advertising and constant updates.
Old wisdom that advertising is the vehicle of the market is essential if not the main point to consider in marketing services online.

I’ve been receiving a hundreds of e-mails everyday with almost the same message with some variation would be it from Twitter, Facebook, or MyWebLog. The messages say: We can help you with your marketing needs. It’s great opportunity to find what I need and I almost reply on all of them, but making decision which one to choose to market my service in most cases open.

My main concerns are: Does this service fit with my needs? Does it target my readership? How flexible it is in my environment? What is the price? Does it reliable? Etc, etc.
When you run a blog you have to make sure your blog is stand apart in your niche. Choosing Advertising in this case is crucial and not simple solution.

Couple of months ago I’ve been helping in blog deployment for one of my friends. Blog was dedicated to bicycles and accessories. Very narrow niche, but extremely popular in Vancouver. When we start discuss about advertising and marketing I suggested my regular advertising set – Google. My friend rejected Google due to lack of targeted readership. His choice was AdWooz PPC Advertising Network.

I didn’t know about AdWooz too much at that time, but was intrigued of the most important part of this advertising network. Everybody knows how Advertising Network is been operating: Advertisers buy advertising, Publishers publish it on their websites. Who is the publisher? Where my advertising is gonna be published? What is ROI? Where my customers come from? Later I realized that almost 70% of publishers who distribute AdWooz advertising are bloggers and affiliate marketers. Wow!!! It’s my audience!

I registered with AdWooz.com as advertiser, got approved and purchased advertising. It takes 2-3 minutes to complete to be online with my own banner or text ad. PPC model applied on high targeted audience and it’s all I need.

How much it cost?
Not much. Prices vary from 1 cent to $1 per click. You can choose banner or text, all standard sizes. Every month AdWooz run promotions of different kind. Usually it’s bonuses upon new registration with purchasing advertising, but this month is an exception.

If you run Blog or Affiliate Marketing website of any kind you can get $20 bonus when you purchase banner advertising for $10. Registration is not required. If you are already registered advertiser and purchase $20 advertising you’ll get $20 bonus for text or banner campaign. So it’s flexible this month and it worth it. You can visit Promotion Page for more details.

AdWooz is not huge Network with approximately 18,000 publishers but very targeted one and suitable for bloggers. Which is your Advertising Network?

I’ve been observing a masters of blogosphere or so called web celebrity already more then a half of a year. People who don’t sit on a place. Who are they, web celebrity, and why they are successful? This is my topic today.

Web Celebrity acquire readers, organize competitions, embody new projects during a life and continue to write under the schedule. If there is nothing to write, they provide with information or simply advertise or just talk around on the abstract subjects.

Only real experts can afford this temp in now-days. Here is some answers on questions why these bloggers have most, why their new projects and ideas are always popular, why they are interviewed, why the opportunities for them practically boundless?

Remember! The most important characteristic of all of them is hard working, dedication, and value of their final product e.g blog.

Having this in mind these people have collected huge audience around themselves which in turns is the root of their success. This audience, colleagues, friends are the who implements ideas, vote for news, buy a products, etc.

For the same reason (see above) such bloggers have huge experience and as consequence links to important people. They really do what they tell about, share the helpful information (at top of glory this helpful information is traced between the lines). Newbie is always hungry for skilled person’s advise and follow this person.

Further conclusions from all above is trust. Audience and experience works on trust to the author. If I trust the author, it means I’m ready to participate in all his undertakings and promote him and his product. In fact it is fine to refer to authority in the field you try something to achieve. Some people do not understand advantage of this activity.

Having all this in mind let me make a conclusion: Hard working is the main and first thing to consider in blogging, but following web celebrity will speed up your popularity as well. Was it your goal in blogging?

Great example of such Guru and Web Celebrity is John Chow. He is open-mind fellow, popular blogger, and just damn fine person. All of above related to him, John Chow. He has managed to become one of the most controversial figures in blogging, thanks to his web site Johnchow.com.

Really and truly it is so easy. Stop the junk food and the alcohol because you know that is wasted calories. Stop looking at the bag of baked Doritos and saying “oh look these chips have less calories than regular chips!” like you think that is going to help you lose weight. Really. You don’t need the darn chips. Do not eat any food that doesn’t have some nutritional value. Easy peasy.

Ok so now you are only going to eat good food. What next with Weight Loss Diet? Pay attention to the order you eat it in. Save the foods that are the worst for you (low fiber carbs) for last. For example for dinner you made meat loaf, potatoes, broccoli and salad. Eat the salad because that is the best thing on the plate. Then eat the broccoli, then the meat. Last, nibble on the potatoes. If you are feeling a little full, toss them out. Gasp!! What a waste!! Would you rather have it on your waist??

Now what are you drinking with that meal? Diet Coke. Ok good it has no calories. But it also has no nutrition. So have a glass of skim milk with your meal instead. There are several reasons for that. It will fill you up a bit so you eat less, it has calcium which studies say you are probably not getting enough of and it is a good source or protein. For desert, have that diet Coke!

And no matter what – don’t go hungry!! Just make sure every meal and snack is something good for you. Skipping meals will actually cause you to gain weight. When you skip meals your body thinks you are starving so it stores fat AND when you do eat a little, it turns it into fat for you so it is ready for the next time you starve yourself. See? Not a good idea.

Let’s have some Fun to discover how to Lose Weight Fast by Stop Dieting and Start Living Techniques.

Losing weight comes down to one key principle: Burn more calories than you consume. The steps that follow won’t work if you have a thousand more calories coming into your body on a daily basis than you have going out. Lay the foundation for weight loss with these practices:

Downsize your kitchenware.
This is my favorite. The human mind works in mysterious ways. It turns out that using smaller bowls, plates, and containers can subconsciously influence how much you serve yourself. Even nutrition experts are victims of this phenomenon; when 85 of them were given a random mix of small and large bowls and scoops, those who got larger bowls served themselves 31% more ice cream, and added on another 14.5% if they had bigger scoops!

Put down the knife.
By putting down whatever utensils you’re using between every bite, you can significantly slow down your eating time, leaving your stomach a chance to feel full and reducing the likelihood that you’ll go for seconds. Another technique that can have a similar effect is to take a sip between each bite. Numerous studies have shown that eating slowly results in eating less. There’s even a device you can get from a dentist that you wear to make your oral cavity smaller so that you take smaller bites, and a fork that’s so awkward to use that you’ll get less food per bite!

Know the enemy!
Make a list of the food items that are your weaknesses. These aren’t always unhealthy foods, either. Sometimes we fool ourselves into believing that as long as we avoid the “bad” foods, we’re making progress. At least, that’s what we like to think as we get up for our third serving of fruit salad, or finish a bag of pretzels in one sitting, saying that they’re healthier than chips. Remember that too much of anything is bad. You probably don’t need to keep a food diary to know your enemies. Common culprits include soda, bread, alcohol, and fast food.

Is there any diet Alternative?
The list can go on and on and on. Don’t you found this is kind of complicated stuff? I do! There’s to be alternative for sure. You betcha! Eat Stop Eat, the system that really works.

Eat Stop Eat is a simple yet highly effective way to lose weight that while preserving your lean muscle and metabolism.
You will discover how one easy change to your diet plan will make you forget about every other super-complicated weight loss and diet program and free you (not your pocket) from destructive obsessive compulsive eating habits.

Here is just some benefits of Eat Stop Eat:
You don’t have to worry about food all day. (I really do)
You don’t have to avoid going to restaurants with your friends. (Wow! I like it)
You will save money (I think it’s very important now-days)
You will not have to take any weird supplements or eat special foods. (Actually it’s saving money and stomach)
You will lose weight, and this weight will be all body fat. (Be focused just body fat)

Unlike other diet books Eat Stop Eat is not complicated, and it is easy to understand, Eat Stop Eat is a simple and effective way to lose body fat that is easier than anything you have ever tried before!

Promoting an Online Business can be one of the most profitable, and easiest ways to earn money online. No matter what experience, or internet marketing knowledge you may have.

Although most would love to earn money with affiliate programs. The reality is that most new internet marketers don’t have a clue as to how to make money with affiliate marketing. Most marketers and so called gurus will tell you that it’s simple and try to to sell you their product in an attempt to just make money.

When writing your article, try to include multiple keywords relating to your website, as the more keywords you have, the better the chance of getting a good position in search engines. For example, if your affiliate program is about Online Business you could use the keywords “work at home”, “earn online”, “online income”, etc.

Socialize on forums and groups

Set up your signature file to include a link back to your website. Post quality messages, either asking questions you have, or answering other people’s questions. Do not post just to advertise your website as this could be regarded as spamming, and most forums will not tolerate any form of spamming.

As was discussed in How to Make Money and Have Fun Content, Hosting, and Appearance are basic needs for your online business.
I think Appearance is first thing to start with in your money-making venture.

Please, don’t waste your time to reinvent the wheel by building your website from scratch. It’s not good idea at all even you have experience in programming. Of cause you can start from creating brand new HTML document and stuff it with tags and links. But it takes weeks if not months of endless startup and learning new subjects you never use afterward. Was it your main goal? I don’t think so. Believe me or not but everything is already done! Just grab it and improve it.

If blogging is your online journey, Wordpress is the pleasure to travel with. It’s free, reliable, easy to use and understand. Download your FREE latest stable release of Wordpress and enjoy the life! Wordpress is Theme and Plugin driven creature.

A little bit of terminology: Theme is like outfit and Plugin is like gadget for your blog. You can play with this stuff, change it and alternate.

You can find fantastic Themes on Frugal Theme Gallery. Clean and neat, sexy and provocative, caching eye and easy to adjust – themes of any kind for any taste. Grab one and your endless hours of searching for “perfection” will gone! Remember: time is money!

Next, create folder on your computer with the blog name you’ve selected, unzip Wordpress and Theme of your choice in this folder and have a rest.

See you next time on Hosting Details

Yours BP.

They say there are three Basic Needs – Food, Shelter, and Clothing. The rest is luxury (my five cents). This is Mother Nature.
When it comes to Making Money Online three Basic Needs come up in my dot Com head. They are: Content, Hosting, and Appearance. The rest is (my five dollars) how to convert it into cash mainstream. This is Cyber Nature.

I used to hear that website Appearance is not important in the beginning of online money-making endeavor. I totally disagree with that concept. Having great idea makes Cyber Creator responsible on how newborn Cyberbaby will integrate into online community. First impression is very important for long lasting success. This is Nature of Cyberculture though.

Hosting is a shelter for your milky-cow-online creature. Not all hosting providers alike and not all of them suitable for particular money making needs. Choosing such kind of roof has to be done with one-step-ahead thinking. This definitely has to be your Cyberculture.

Let’s go further with parallels.

Content is food and the King of the Internet. Healthy food is a keyword whether it’s human or cyber Nature. Great content means success, but having reliable hosting and friendly interface will speed up this process in the beginning. This is… come on, stop it!
Enough parallels! Mother Nature, Cyberculture, Money… Enough! Let’s Make Money and Have Fun though.

Next time I’ll apply this parallelism on Appearance in details.
See you!
