Most people who want to make money blogging often have to make a crucial first decision about where they can put up their blog. And what looks like an easy question is actually one of the most important elements to blogging success. In fact, some blog service providers make blogging for money an easier task, while other providers do nothing towards that direction.

But which blog hosting services are perfect for your money-making blog, and which ones don’t cut muster? Below is a short list of the biggest names in blogging so that you can decide which service is best for your blog:

1. Blogger.com
The charm of Blogger.com is the fact that it’s easy to use. All you need to do is choose a username and password, fill in a few small details, and voila! Your blog is ready. There aren’t any costs, and Blogger.com assures you that you don’t need to know a single thing about blogging to put up a site with them. Unfortunately, Blogger ultimately isn’t very customizable, and is unable to support a lot of elements often found in professional blogs (e.g., static pages, plugins, and other add-ons and tools).

If you’re into blogging only as a hobby, for personal reasons, or just for kicks, Blogger’s simplicity will definitely fit your purposes, If you want to make money, however, Blogger probably can’t support your site very well, as opposed to other hosting services.

2. WordPress.com
With WordPress, bloggers have all the freedom to pick between the free blogs at WordPress.com and the self-hosted, fully-customizable blogs from WordPress.org. Basically, WordPress.com echoes the services that Blogger.com already offers, but with a few more goodies in the package. WordPress.com blogs cost nothing, are easy to set up, and don’t require a lot of hardcore internet know-how for you to maintain your blog.

WordPress.org, on the other hand, supports monetization much better than WordPress.com can. The downloadable blogging software doesn’t cost a thing, and, unlike WordPress.com, will let you add thousands of free templates and money-making plugins to enhance your blog’s functionality. The problem with this is that you’ll have to find and pay for web hosting to your own blog. WordPress.org also tends to be very confusing to newbie bloggers, and will actually require at least some technical skills before you can finally put up your blog.

3. SOLOBIS.net
This exciting new service provides free SOLOBIS.net WordPress Blogs , which gives bloggers the best of both the WordPress.com and WordPress.org worlds. Throw in its focus on helping its users make money with their blogs, and you have an unbeatable combination for those who want to blog for a living (or earn a fortune with it).

Upon signing up for a free SOLOBIS account, you will immediately receive a blog that has a SOLOBIS.net subdomain (e.g., www.johnsmith.solobis.net). SOLOBIS.net blogs are run on the WordPress engine, which is good news for WordPress enthusiasts, since you’ll already be familiar with the controls. The great thing about this service is that it combines the ease of use and convenience of WordPress.com with the customization and monetization capacities of WordPress.org. Each SOLOBIS.net blog is already bundled with the best money-making plugins in the WordPress scene, along with over a hundred beautiful templates to choose from.

The great thing about SOLOBIS.net is that it’s done most of the work for you, having pre-installed the best templates and money-making WordPress plugins in every blog. You don’t have to go hunting for good plugins anymore, since SOLOBIS.net blogs already have the best that the WordPress community has to offer. This is a blessing for beginner bloggers, since it’s simple and profitable, but it also benefits more experienced bloggers, who can only stand to earn more as they make money blogging.

Although Blogger.com and WordPress.com are great for beginners, they fail to provide adequate support for blogs that exist to make money for their owners. And while WordPress.org definitely provides top-notch service and a lot of customization legroom, turning up a profit can take a long while, since you’ll have to do all the testing work on your own.

With SOLOBIS.net, however, a blogger doesn’t have to be an expert to start making money right away — all the tools are already there, waiting to be used on your journey to your online fortune. From the looks of it, you can’t find a better combination of convenience, versatility, and profitability as the one that the SOLOBIS.net WordPress Plan is already offering to its users.

Rio De Janerio Wins 2016 Summer Olympic Games

August 24th, 2010

by Ross Everett

South America will host the Summer Olympic Games for the first time in 2016, as Rio De Janeiro, Brazil was awarded the honor on Friday. Rio beat out the US choice of Chicago, Illinois along with Tokyo, Japan and Madrid, Spain to earn the right to host the games. Despite a high pressure effort from the American power elite–including President Barack Obama and TV gabfest queen Oprah Winfrey–Chicago was the first city eliminated from contention. Tokyo was the next to go, before Rio got the nod over Madrid in the final round of balloting.

Bookmakers offered odds on the host city choice, with Rio listed as second favorite at +200. Chicago had been the wagering favorite at most books, particularly after President Obama got involved personally in the US bid effort. Chicago was bet as high as a -300 favorite, while Madrid and Tokyo were priced in the +250 range. Some suggest that Tokyo didnt deserve to have such short odds, but was the beneficiary of regional pride from the notoriously enthusiastic betting population of Japan.

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, got the better of his US counterpart Barack Obama The Brazilian leader stressed the unfairness that South America had never hosted the games in his speech to the committee;

“It is a time to address this imbalance. It is time to light the Olympic cauldron in a tropical country.”

The Olympic committee was apparently swayed by this presentation and paid no mind to Rios many downsides. It is without a doubt the most dangerous of the finalist cities, where drug cartels and armed bands of thugs roam without impunity. Well do to Rio citizens are used to removing watches and jewelry before they drive anywhere lest they be targeted by carjacking brigands. Rios murder rate is also one of the highest in the world. Brazilian bid officials have stressed that security will be a priority at the games and it better be lest the Olympics turn into a bloodbath.

Some IOC members suggested that the summary dismissal of Chicagos bid was more of a rebuke of the notoriously corrupt USOC. The last two Olympics held in the US were tainted by crime and corruption. The’96 Atlanta Olympics were disrupted by a terrorist bombing, while the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games were marred by a well known bribery and corruption scandal. Some suggested that US President Obama’s quick and perfunctory visit was taken as more of an insult by the delegates than anything else. – 41139

Act Your Way Into A New Way Of Thinking

April 21st, 2010
Random Acts of Kindness
Image by mbgrigby via Flickr

Are you working at a job you can’t stand?  Would you like to quit, but are afraid you’ll attract more of the same? Often people write to me with questions like: I want out of my present job so badly. How can I speed things up so I can quit?

The best way to shorten the time spent in a negative situation is to focus on all the positives you can. If you can find something to appreciate–even if its appreciating a regular paycheck which does cover some of your essentials–you will begin to feel better. As you feel better, you’ll find it easier to notice another thing you appreciate about your job.

What if you can’t find a single positive aspect of your present job? If you don’t change the way you feel about your current job, you will simply attract another miserable job.

“Sometimes it’s easier to act your self into a new way of thinking,
than it is to think your self into a new way of acting.”
-Jo Berry, author
Years ago, in Los Angeles, California, I heard Jo Berry speak about how to get rid of a bad habit. Jo asked her audience, “How long have you thought about giving up this habit?  Has it done any good to just think about it?”

At the time, I had thought and thought about quitting smoking. No matter how much I thought about quitting, I had not made it through one day in over ten years without a cigarette. (Now, through understanding how the Law of Attraction works, I can see that by “pushing against” a habit, I was reinforcing it.)

Jo told us that if we started to act like what we wanted to be or do, then our thoughts and feelings would follow. In the flash of a moment, I understood that I could quit smoking by acting like a non-smoker. Of course the next question was, “How does a non-smoker act?” Quickly followed by, “What does a non-smoker do with their hands?” The answer came ever so gently: “They fold their hands.” I figured that folding my hands when I wanted a cigarette was symbolic as well as appropriate!  And it worked. I haven’t had or wanted a cigarette since Sept. 13th, 1976.

Instead of trying to change the way you think about your job, begin to get a picture of yourself acting like you enjoy this job.  What would you say or do differently?  Try acting in a new way then notice how much better you feel.

Soon you’ll find yourself in a more positive feeling place, offering a new vibration which will either attract different situations in your current job or you’ll find yourself working in a new place that feels great! Who knows, you may end up Loving your current job!

How to live life

mother of dreams

Is life worth living without a dream?
We all need dreams and goals to get us through the days and years. If they are big and take years to achieve or rather 5 mins is insignificant, they are all important!

Can you truly be satisfied living someone elses dream?
NO, If you can be satisfied then it isn’t someone elses dream but rather your own!

What is your potenial?
More than you’ll ever know

Will you ever fulfill it?
If your not worried about going to far then yes you will! “The only people who realise their potenial are those who risk going all the way”

Can anyone do anything?
Yes, the people who don’t just have nobody to tell them they can or give them the push they needed or they would rather write it off as impossible rather than putting themself out on a limb!

Or were they never able or had the potenial themselves to begin with?
Potenial has no limits!

Is wanting success selfish?
I think if you keep things in perspective and don’t let the success take over your life and most of all don’t think your better than anyone!!!! You just have different talents and dreams.

Are we all selfish?
I do believe we are all selfish , in that everything we do or say positive for someone else is a way of feeling good about ourselves….. What? Well when do we feel the best about ourselves? How about after giving someone a present or donating money to a charity…. so by saying that is being selfish a bad thing? At times, not at all!

How to find true happiness?
I believe balance is number 1 and I believe in our lives we will find our greatest happiness using the gifts that god gave us and making the most of them.

Are their rules in being in LOVE?
just being true to yourself always

Reducing Stress to Improve your Personal Life

March 8th, 2010

When you are feeling under the whether all the time perhaps it is because you are stressed. Stress alone can cause major psychological and mental problems. In fact, stress can cause self-induced exaggerated problems. Stress causes confusion, since it targets your physical, emotional responses, and psychological aspects while causing you pain. Stress is the leading problem that everyone in the world faces at one time or another.

What causes stress:
Bills cause stress, especially if you do not have cash flow to pay the bills. Jobs will cause stress, since you battle to make sure your duties are correctly handled. Children cause stress. Especially nowadays, since the media, television, etc has polluted and corrupted the minds of our children by offering them nudity, violence, and other harmful actions on air. A bad relationship can cause stress. If you are in a bad relationship, it only affects your mind and physical well-being, causing you stress. There are many reasons a person can feel stressed. The upside is, you have the choice to make stress your best friend or worst enemy.

What are the different kinds of stress?
There are many kinds of stress that can cause you problems like the acute stress this is a short term stress problem normally, which may last shortly or could carry forward. You want to avoid overstressing self. One of the common reasons someone develops acute stress is because they are thinking of how to change things they cannot change. Only change the things you can change and learn to accept. We all deal with everyday challenges. Take each challenge as a learning experience. We all have to pay bills, work, and so on. It’s a part of life. We all have to face it. Sometimes we do not have the money to pay bills. Learn to set a budget that relieves you of stress. You may loose your job. Instead of sweating the problem, do something about it.

Children these days are increasing stress for parents. Many teenagers these days are difficult to manage. Today our children are plagued with mental illnesses, far more so than at one time in history. When you feel chronic stress, burned out and do not see hope, it is time to seek help. Your doctor or mental health expert can help you manage stress emerging from difficulty teenagers.

How to reduce stress:
You can reduce stress by managing, planning and setting goals. When you have something to look forward to, it improves your personal life. The first thing you want to consider while planning and setting goals is truth. The truth is what sets you free. Everything you do in life should uphold the truth. If you are not sure, research to learn the truth. You can take many steps to reduce stress.

To improve your life and reduce stress you may want to consider education. If you lack skills, experience or education you will benefit from returning to school.

You want to avoid setting traps for your memory and intelligence, since the emotions play unhealthy games if you allow it. What I mean is you want to avoid telling yourself I cannot do it. Life is too hard. Life is easier if you learn to think positive.

How you can improve, your personal life is up to you. You will need to consult with your inner counselor to learn what you need, what you are lacking and the steps you can take to improve your personal life. If you are unsure, seek feedback. Feedback is the key that leads you to success.
