I’ve been asked many times, how to make money online without having any website, any product, nor any list… or in short how to make money online from scratch. Just answer questions and then get paid.

Although this is not my favorite method on making money online, it might be good for you if you like answering questions. Rather than answering questions at Yahoo! Answers, Yedda, or AskVille where you don’t get paid, answer questions at these following sites (they’re free to join by the way): Continue reading

Finally there’s a new tool to research to find trends in specific region, time and category. Google released a new product beta that takes Google Trends to the next level: Google Insight For Search.

This new tool might be the the tool that I need to research niche more specifically, over a certain period of time and in specific country or region. However, Continue reading

It’s been well known that in order to be successful and take profits in any businesses, you must have must at least a niche market.

A niche market is a focused and targetable portion of a market. By definition a business that focuses on a niche market addresses a need for a product or service that is not being addressed by major providers. You can also think of a niche market as a narrowly defined group of potential customers.

For instance, instead of offering dog training, you might establish a niche market by specializing in labrador retriever training.

Why should you bother to establish a niche market? Because of the great advantage of being alone there; other small businesses may not be aware of your particular niche market, and large businesses won’t want to bother with it.

The trick to capitalizing on a niche market is to Continue reading

I become too overwhelm in remembering too many usernames and passwords. I need one specific username and password for my WordPress blog, another for email account, web hosting and FTP account, BlogCatalog, MyBlogLog, social bookmark sites, and a lot more. The list of passwords is endless!

You also felt irritated if you forgot a password and received this message, didn’t you?

Yes, I can retrieve the password and have it reset but it takes times even hours before I receive the new password.

Using the same username and password for the sake of simplicity is not wise idea either. In fact it’s not safe and very risky! So I begin to research for free password manager.

Here are some of the available free password manager: Continue reading

I just upgraded my blog to the latest WordPress 2.5, and found out that some plugins don’t work. Luckily those are not the essential plugins.

Now that makes me ponder… What if the most essential WordPress plugins all of sudden disappear or no longer works… I certainly would cry if Askimet or WordPress Database Backup are no longer available.

And I would certainly miss these WordPress plugins if they’re gone: Kramer, Subscribe To Comment, Google Sitemap Generator, and WP AJAX Edit Comments.

I wonder what’s the WordPress plugin that you can’t live without?

Ever since I read Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing, I plan to use membership site software for all of my sites to integrate my subscription services, product download and affiliate management. However there are so many choices for membership site software and I really want the powerful and full-featured membership and subscription software for my website, so I began testing them.

I was recommended to use aMember Pro so I tested it.

Simple Installation and Free Installation

You can either did the installation yourself or you can opt for free installation. Yes, aMember offers free installation in 24 hours.

I did the installation myself and it was pretty straight forward:

Integrated with Many Payment Systems

I like this feature because having only PayPal as my payment system is very risky. Once my PayPal account was put under review so I couldn’t receive payment nor transferred my money there. It was frustrated to solve it with PayPal.

These are among the aMember supported payment systems: Continue reading

Here comes Qassia. It’s modeled similar like Naver, a number one and busiest site in South Korea. Here, it reminds me to Squidoo and Yahoo Answers.

Its idea is simple: share your tidbit of knowledge with others. But Qassia takes it to another step:

Will Qassia take off and be succesful like Naver in South Korea or it’s a blunder like Agloco? Continue reading
