ठूलो धनराशी खर्च गरि पढेका इञ्जिनियरको भन्दा पढ्दै नपढेका लेबरको तलव झण्डै दोब्बरले बढेको छ । केन्द्रीय तथ्यांक विभागकले संकलन गरेको त्रैमासिक ज्याला सुचकांकमा निर्माण क्षेत्रमा कार्यरत इञ्जिनियरको भन्दा लेबरको तलव वृद्धि उच्च रहेको देखिएको हो ।

विगत ६ वर्षमा मजदूरको ज्याला १४४ प्रतिशतले बढेको छ भने इञ्जिनियरको तलव ७७ प्रतिशतले मात्र बढेको छ । जुन ज्याला वृद्धिदर इञ्जिनिरको भन्दा मजदूरको झण्डै दोब्बर हो ।विभागको ज्याला सुचकांकलाई आधार मान्ने हो भने आर्थिक वर्ष २०६४/०६५ मा सय रुपैयाँ ज्याला बुझ्ने लेबरले गत चैतमा २४४ रुपैयाँ बुझ्न थालिसकेका छन् । तर, सोही ज्यालादरमा काम सुरु गरेका इञ्जिनियरले भने जम्मा १७७ रुपैयाँमा चित्त बुझाउनुपरेको छ ।

तथ्यांक विभागका अनुसार निर्माण क्षेत्रमा कार्यरत कर्मचारी तथा मजदूरको औषत ज्याला ६ वर्षमा १२८.९ प्रतिशतले तलब बढेको छ । यस अवधिमा सबैभन्दा बढी लेबरको ज्याला १४४.५ प्रतिशतले बढेको देखिन्छ । सबैभन्दा कम इन्जिनियरको ७७ प्रतिशतले मात्र तलब बढेको देखिएको छ ।

यस अवधिमा सव-इञ्जिनियरको तलव ९५.८ प्रतिशतले बढेको छ भने सुपरभाइजरको १३३ प्रतिशतले बढेको छ । त्यस्तै, डकर्मीको ११८.२ प्रतिशत, सिकर्मीको ११९.५ प्रतिशत, इलेक्टि्रसियनको ११६.४ प्रतिशत र पेन्टरको १२३.५ प्रतिशत तलब वृद्धि भएको छ ।

हुलाकी राजमार्गले यसरी गिज्याउँदै छ भारतलाई

तीन वर्षमा १४ किलोमिटर मात्रै कालोपत्रे सम्पन्न

तराईको हुलाकी राजमार्ग यतिबेला विशेष चर्चा र बहसमा छ । भारतीय विदेशमन्त्री सुष्मा स्वराज नेपाल आएका बेला मधेसवादी दलका नेताहरुले हुलाकी राजमार्गको निर्माणलाई जोड दिएका छन् । भारतले निर्माणको जिम्मा लिएको भनिएको यो राजमार्गको काम दु्रत गतिमा अघि बढ्न नसकेको नेपाल पक्षको गुनासो छ । भारतीय पक्षले अब यसलाई चाँडो सम्पन्न गर्ने प्रतिवद्धता दोहोर्‍याएको छ ।

के हो हुलाकी राजमार्ग ?

तराई-मधेसमा हाल सुचारु रहेको पूर्वपश्चिम राजमार्गभन्दा दक्षिणतर्फ भारतीय सीमाना आसपास हुँदै परिकल्पना गरिएको अर्को सडक सञ्जालको नाम हो हुलाकी राजमार्ग । कतिपय स्थानमा उत्तर दक्षिणको सडकलाई जोड्ने यो हुलाकी राजमार्गको कूल लम्बाइ १ हजार ५ सय किलोमिटर रहेको छ ।हाल ६ सय किलोमिटर निर्माणाधिन अवस्थामा छ । यो सडकखण्डमा १२५ वडा पुल बनाउने लक्ष छ ।

राणकालमा हुलाकीहरुले चिठीपत्र ओसार्न हिँड्ने गरेको हुनाले यो मार्गलाई हुलाकी राजमार्ग नामाकरण गरिएको हो । मधेसी नेता एवं जनसमुदायले यो मार्गको विकासलाई अत्यन्तै महत्व दिँदै आएका छन् । यो मार्ग उनीहरुको दैनिक जीवनसँग प्रत्यक्ष रुपमा जोडिएको छ ।तत्कालीन राजा महेन्द्रले पूर्व-पश्चिम राजमार्ग बनाउन सुरु गर्दा तत्कालीन मधेसवादी नेता तथा जनताले यही हुलाकी राजमार्गलाई पूर्व-पश्चिम राजमार्गको रुप दिन माग गरेका थिए ।

तर, महेन्द्रले त्योभन्दा माथि पहाडको फेद एवं चुरे क्षेत्रलाई छुने गरी पूर्व-पश्चिम राजमार्गको निर्माण गराए । महेन्द्रले त्यतिबेलैदेखि जनताको बसोबास रहेको क्षेत्रलाई बेवास्ता गरेको गुनासो मधेसी समदायको थियो । भारतले तीन वर्षअघि हुलाकी राजमार्ग निर्माणको प्रतिवद्धता जनाएको हो । १० वर्षमा ६ सय ६ किलोमिटर बाटो बनाइसक्ने आश्वासन दिएको भारतले ३ वर्षमा ७ प्रतिशतमात्रै काम गरेको छ ।

कहाँ-कहाँ पर्छ हुलाकी मार्ग ?

हुलाकी राजमार्गले तराईका १७ जिल्लालाई छुन्छ । झापामा चन्द्रगढी-चारआली-केचनालाई हुलाकीमार्ग भनिन्छ भने मोरङमा कानेपोखरी-रंगेली सडकलाई हुलाकी मार्ग भनिन्छ । त्यस्तै सप्तरीको बर्साइन-सूवर्णपट्टी, धनुषाको यदुकुवा-महिनाथुर र जनकपुर-यदुकुवा हुलाकी मार्ग परियोजना अन्तरगत पर्दछ । जनकपुर जताही र भिट्टामोढ क्षेत्र पनि यसै अन्तरगत पर्दछ ।

महोत्तरीको जलेश्वरदेखि हर्दिनगरसम्मको बाटो पनि यसैअन्तरगत पर्छ । महोत्तरीको गौशालाबजारदेखि साम्सी, सर्लाहीकार बरहथ्वा-मधुवनी, बाराको तामागढीदेखि सिम्रौनगढ र कलैयादेखि मतियार्वासम्म हुलाकी मार्गअन्तरगत पर्दछ । त्यस्तै बाँकेको नेपालगञ्ज-बगौडा र बर्दियाको गुलरिया मूर्तियाको बाटोलाई हुलाकी मार्गका रुपमा चिनिन्छ । कैलालीको लम्की-टीकापुर-खकुराउला एवं सती-भजनी-धनगढी मार्ग पनि हुलाकी राजमार्गअन्तरगत पर्छ । दाङको लमहीदेखि कोइलाबास र पर्साको वीरगञ्जदेखि ठोरीसम्मको बाटोलाई पनि हुलाकी राजामार्गका नामले चिनिन्छ ।

पहाडबाट तराईसम्म खनिएका फिडर रोडलाई पूर्व-पश्चिम महेन्द्र राजमार्ग हुँदै हुलाकी राजमार्गमा जोड्ने योजना रहेको छ । ‘राणाकालमा चिठ्ठी ओर्सान प्रयोग गरिने मार्गलाई सडक बनाउने योजना राम्रो छ, तर अहिलेको निर्माणको गतिलाई दू्रतता दिएर चाँडो निर्माण सक्न नेपाल र भारतबीच उच्चस्तरको सहमति हुन आवश्यक छ’, आयोजना प्रमुख देवले भने, ‘पहिले अवरोध नहटाउँदा समस्या अझै बाँकी छन्, बिजुलीका पोल हटाउने प्रक्रिया बाँकी छ, वनक्षेत्रको अवरोध नहटाइँदा निर्माणमा संलग्न भारतीय कम्पनीले प्रश्न उठाइरहेका छन् ।’

भारतको सुस्त काम गराइ

भारत सरकारले लगानी गरेको पूर्व-पश्चिम हुलाकी राजमार्गको निर्माण कछुवाको चालभन्दा सुस्त गतिमा भइरहेको छ । निर्माण शुरु भएको तीन वर्ष बितिसक्दा पनि अहिलेसम्म १४ किलोमिटरमात्रै कालोपत्रे भएको छ । करिब २९ अर्ब रुपैयाँ लगानीमा दुई चरणमा सम्पन्न गर्नेगरी तीन वर्षअघि निर्माण थालिएको हुलाकी राजमार्गको निर्माण अहिलेकै गतिमा भइरहे १० वर्षमा पनि पूरा हुने अवस्था छैन ।

एक हजार ५ सय किलोमिटर लामो सडकमध्ये ६ सय किलोमिटर सडक निर्माणका लागि तीन वर्षअघि नै सडक विभागले ठेक्का लगाएको थियो । तर, सडक निर्माणको जिम्मा लिएका ६ मध्ये ३ वटा भारतीय ठेकेदार कम्पनी काममा अवरोध भएको भन्दै देश फर्केपछि हुलाकी राजमार्गको भविष्य अन्योलमा परेको हो । हुलाकी राजमार्ग अन्तरगत निर्माणमा सबैभन्दा बढी २३ प्रतिशत प्रगति कैलालीस्थित टीकापुर-भजनी खण्ड भएको छ । त्यसैगरी पूर्वको झापामा १० निर्माणको प्रगति १० प्रतिशत माथि छ भने अन्य स्थानको निर्माण प्रगति एक अंकमाथि उक्लन सकेको छैन ।

निर्माणलाई गति दिन सडक विभागअन्तरगतको हुलाकी राजमार्ग आयोजनाले सडकक्षेत्रमा रहेका अवरोध हटाउने कार्यलाई अहिले पनि निरन्तरता दिइरहेको छ । भारतीय ठेकेदार विविध अवरोधका कारण काम गर्न नसक्ने भनिरहेका बेला हुलाकी राजमार्ग आयोजनाले भने सडक क्षेत्रबाट ८० प्रतिशत अवरोध हटाइसकेको दाबी गरेको छ ।

हुलाकी राजमार्ग आयोजनाका प्रमुख भुवनेश्वरप्रसाद देवले अनलाइनखबरसँग भने-’सडकको सबै खण्डक जम्मा ८ प्रतिशत मात्र बनेको छ । यही गतिमा निर्माण हुँदा तोकिएको समय भन्दा तेब्बर बढी समय लाग्ने अवस्था छ ।’ भारतीय कम्पनीहरुलाई निर्माणमा सहज बनाउन सडक विभागले मुआब्जा वितरण गरी बस्ती स्थानान्तरण, जंगलको रुख कटान, विद्युतका पोल स्थानान्तरण र अन्य मानवीय अवरोध हटाउन पहल गर्दै आएको छ ।

स्थानीयले काममा अवरोध गरेको भन्दै तीनवटा भारतीय कम्पनी काम बन्द गरेर फिर्ता भएको वर्ष दिन भइसकेको छ । फिर्ता गएका कम्पनीले भारतीय सरकारमार्फत क्षतिपूर्तिको वार्गेनिङ्ग गर्न शुरु गरेका छन् । तराई र भित्री मधेसका ग्रामीण बस्तीलाई छुँदै मेची महाकालीलाई जोड्ने हुलाकी राजमार्ग निर्माणका लागि सडक विभागले ६ वटा प्याकेज बनाएर ठेकेदारलाई जिम्मा दिएको थियो ।

चारआनाको ‘मूर्गा’ लाई बाह्रआनाको मसला !

तीन वर्षमा पहिलो चरणको काम सक्ने गरी सरकारले काम शुरु गरेको थियो । करिब ८ अर्ब रुपैयाँ तीन वर्षमा खर्चेर सडकको ट्रयाक पूरै खुलाउने योजनामा थियो । तर, अहिलेसम्म करिब ७० किलोमिटर सडकमा मात्रै ग्राभेल भएको छ । त्यसैगरी १४ किलोमिटर सडक कालोपत्रे सम्भव भएको छ ।

तीन वर्षको अवधिमा पहिलो चरणको काम सकिसक्ने दुबै देशको योजना असफल भइसकेको छ । सबै ठेकेदार कम्पनीको तीन वर्षे सम्झौताको अवधिसमेत गुजि्रसकेको अवस्था छ । हुलामी राजमार्गमा भारतको खर्च गराइ हेर्दा ‘चारआनाको ‘मूर्गा’ लाई बाह्रआनाको मसला’ भन्ने आहान चरितार्थ भएको छ । निर्माण शुरु भएयता भारत सरकारको एक अर्ब ५ करोड रुपैयाँ खर्च भइसकेको छ । जसमा सडक निर्माणको लागि ६० प्रतिशतमात्र खर्च गरिएको छ ।

बाँकी ४० प्रतिशत रकम कन्सल्ट्यान्टकै लागि भारत सरकारले खर्च गरेको छ । कन्सल्ट्यान्टका लागि बढीमा १० देखि १५ प्रतिशत खर्चनुपर्नेमा झण्डै खर्च भएको मध्ये आधा रकम प्राविधिकको तलबभत्तामै सकिएको छ । तोकिएको तीन वर्षमा ८ प्रतिशतमात्र निर्माण प्रगति भएपछि हुलाकी सडकको निर्माण पूरा हुन अझै १५ वर्ष लाग्ने अवस्था छ । ३ दशमलव ७ मिटरमात्र चौडाईको सडक तराईमा उपयुक्त नहुने प्राविधिकको सल्लाहको बेवास्ता गर्दै निर्माण प्रक्रिया अघि बढाइएको छ ।

चितवनमा जंगलको विवाद

हुलाकी राजमार्ग चितवन राष्ट्रिय निकुञ्जको बीचबाट सर्भे गरिएपछि त्यसमा जारी विवाद अझै समाधान भएको छैन । त्यसैगरी बाराको कलैयाको वनक्षेत्रको रुख कटान र वीरगञ्ज-ठोरी खण्डमा रहेको समस्या समाधान भइसकेको छैन ।

कामको प्रगतिमै विवाद

सडक निर्माणका लागि सडक क्षेत्रका बस्तीलाई मुआब्जा दिएर सरकारले हटाउने प्रक्रिया जारी राखेको छ । सडक क्षेत्रको अवरोध हटाउने काममा करिब ८० प्रतिशत प्रगति भएको दाबी नेपाल पक्षको छ । फिर्ता गएका भारतीय कम्पनीले अवरोध हटाइएको क्षेत्रमा समेत काम गर्न नमानेको तर्क नेपाली अधिकारीको छ । उता भारतले भने सडकको अवरोध हटाउने कामको प्रगति ६५ प्रतिशतमात्रै भएको दाबी गर्दै आएको छ ।

नेपालको काममा राम्रो प्रगति

नेपाल आफैंले जिम्मा लिएको काममा भने राम्रो प्रगति देखिएको छ । नेपाल सरकारले हुलाकी मार्गअन्तरगतका खोलामा पुल निर्माणको जिम्मा लिएको छ ।हुलाकी मार्गमा पर्ने एक सय २५ वटा पक्की पूल दुई चरणमा निर्माण सम्पन्न गर्ने योजना छ । एक सय २५ वटा पुलमध्ये हालसम्म ३३ वटा निर्माण सम्पन्न भइसकेका छन् । त्यसैगरी अन्य ४५ वटा निर्माणाधीन अवस्थामा रहेको सडक विभागले जनाएको छ । नेपालले करिब ९० करोड रुपैयाँ यी पुल निर्माणमा खर्च गरेको छ ।

मन्त्रालयवीच समन्वय छैन

राष्ट्रिय महत्वको सडक निर्माणका क्रममा मन्त्रालयबीच समन्वय नहुँदा सानो विवादले पनि सडक निर्माण अवरोध हुने गरेको छ । ‘सडकको अवरोध हटाउँदा पटक-पटक सडक क्षेत्रका स्थानीय बाधक बन्ने गरेका छन्, मन्त्रालयबीच समन्वय नहुँदा जंगलक्षेत्रका रुख कटान हुन सकेको छैन’, आयोजना प्रमुख देवले भने, ‘एक अर्का मन्त्रालयको समन्वयमा संयन्त्र नबन्दा स्थानीय स्तरमा सिर्जित साना समस्याले महिनौं सम्म निर्माणमा बाधा पुग्ने गरेको छ ।’

सडक क्षेत्र पर्ने जिल्लामा प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारीको संयोजकत्वमा संयन्त्र चाहिने बताउँदै आयोजना प्रमुख देवले अहिलेको अवस्थामा सडक विभागका कर्मचारी नै स्थानीयसँग जुध्नुपर्ने बाध्यता रहेको बताए ।

सीमापारी दू्रत, नेपालमा सुस्त

भारतकै सहयोगमा नेपालमा बन्दै गरेका हुलाकी राजमार्गको निर्माण कछुवाको गतिमा चल्दै गर्दा भारततर्फको सडकको निर्माण भने तीब्र गतिमा अघि बढिरहेको छ । तटबन्ध जस्तै अग्लो पर्खाल उठाएर भारतले नेपालको सीमाना नजिकै बनाउँदै गरेको सडकले नेपालतर्फ डुबान गराउने चिन्ताले पिरोलेको छ । भारतले बनाउँदै गरेको सडकले नेपालतर्फ सीमानासम्म पुगेको हुलाकी सडक पनि वषर्ायाम डुबान गराउने अवस्था छ ।

नेपालतर्फ सुस्त गतिमा बन्दै गरेको हुलाकी राजमार्गका लागि कच्चा पदार्थको समेत अभाव हुने अवस्था आएको छ । सरकारले आर्थिक वर्ष ०७१/०७२ को बजेटमा चुरेक्षेत्रबाट गिट्टी, ढुंगा र बालुवा उत्खननमा प्रतिबन्ध लगाउने घोषणा गरेपछि हुलाकी राजमार्गलाई कच्चा पदार्थ जुटाउन समस्या पर्ने भएको हो ।

चुरेको प्रतिबन्धले निर्माणमा असर

सडकलाई जमीनभन्दा अग्लो बनाउन रोडायुक्त बलियो माटोको आवश्यकता हुन्छ, जुन माटो मधेशको चुरेक्षेत्रमा मात्रै छ । ‘चुरेक्षेत्रको कच्चा पदार्थ प्रयोग गर्न पाइएन भने सडक निर्माण हुने अवस्था छैन, अन्तबाट कच्चा पदार्थ जुटाउने अवस्था छैन’, आयोजना प्रमुख देवले भने, ‘जताततैबाट हुलाकी राजमार्ग निर्माणमा प्रतिकुलता देखा पर्दै गएको छ, समयमा समस्यको समाधान गर्न नसके सडकले मूर्तरुप पाउन सक्दैन ।’

Market has not been taken by Google Glass but now Google has announced to announce smartwatch Gem like iWatch.

A new tip suggests that Google will announce a smartwatch called Gem to coincide with the release of Android 4.4 Kit Kat later this month.

The watch is said to be part of the Nexus brand and will reportedly be announced on Oct. 31, according to Android Police co-founder Artem Russakovski. The disclaimer on his Google+ page says that the information hasn’t been confirmed, but he also wrote that he feels “relatively confident” about this rumor.

Although Google hasn’t made any announcements just yet, the company published a smartwatch patent a few months ago detailing a watch with a user interface similar to Glass. . An earlier patent from 2012 depicts a smartwatch with a flip-up display, but as of now its still unclear if either device will come to market.For instance, the watch described in the filing would feature two touchpads on its wristband that can understand gestures such as pinching or stretching, just like Glass’ single pad

Google is just one of several major tech brands rumored to dive into the smartwatch space within the next year. The Gem joins the likes of Apple’s long-fabled iWatch and Microsoft and LG’s rumored wrist-worn gadgets. A recent study from NextMarket reported that more than 373 million smartwatches will ship by 2020 compared to the 15 million projected for 2014, suggesting that wearable tech could become a major part of the mobile market soon enough.Samsung just launched its Galaxy Gear smartwatch that is designed to work with its Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014), which means it can forward notifications, run apps, answer and make phone calls among other smartphone capabilities.

Google is also expected to announce its next flagship smartphone, the Nexus 5, in tandem with Android 4.4 Kit Kat. The Nexus 4 successor is rumored to come with a roaring Snapdragon 800 processor, a 5.2-inch display and an improved camera that could implement Nikon’s technology.

AdSense Account बिनानै फेस बुकबाट पैसा कमाउने एक कारगर तरिका !!

Posted by: Unknown Posted date: 3:29 AM / comment : 0 business

One day I was researching AdSense and other pay per click programs and came across information about online money making opportunities. I thought that some of them sounded pretty interesting, but I was skeptical. I thought all free money making opportunities must be scams.

At the same time that I was learning about making money online, I was learning how to be a new mom. I was breastfeeding and exhausted because my baby didn't sleep well. That's when I found Cafe Mom. It's a great social network that is just for moms. I saw other moms on the Cafe Mom forums talking about making money with GPT and paid survey sites. So many moms just like me were talking about making money with these sites and even showing screen shot proofs of their payment.

That's when I started experimenting with various opportunities and that's when I also started to get paid. If it was free to join and it paid, I gave it a try. I found that there are many affiliate programs that allow you to offer products and earn commission on the sales. If you have a blog (even a free Blogger blog) or write pages on sites like Squidoo, Huppages, etc, then you can offer products via your affiliate link and earn money. My favorite affiliate program is LinkShare. Through LinkShare, I'm doing well making money as a Walmart Affiliate.

Five rules of successful trading

Posted by: Unknown Posted date: 12:59 AM / comment : 0 business

Trading on the international exchange market Forex, you should keep to the 5 rules.

It means that you can divide your work in five main stages, so that three of them should be based upon the thorough data analysis and last two – on reflex. Let’s consider all five principles of trading operation.

First rule. Opportunities quest. The first rule of trading includes monitoring and analysis of charts in order to find the most appropriate moment for you to enter the forex market. Above all, it is the intellectual process, but emotions play a great role here. Every trader should determine his own process of opportunities quest and follow it closely.

Second rule. Opening position. This part of trading process should be exclusively based on reflexes. Since you analysed the market, you should spend only several seconds to open a position. The most important thing here is vigor, there should not be any delay in opening the position. You have to rely on your intuition, because only diffident trader is destined to failure on Forex.

Third rule. The third rule is the most difficult in trading because here you should not give free play to your emotions which are the main envy of successful and profitable trading. You should move forward, you should ignore your fear, greed and hope. Only if a trader realizes how to ignore his emotions, he will be successful on Forex.

Forth rule. Closing the position. Here you should bring everything up the automatism. You should act quickly.

Fifth rule. Is it really important? Asking any successful and experienced trader you will get a positive answer to this question.

If you strive to achieve the success on Forex market, you should keep a diary of all trading operations – only self-analysis will help you to make your trading at Forex market profitable.

And do not forget one very important factor, if you are newbie at Forex market, the first account you open should be opened on forex demo account because training within real market conditions but using virtual money will help you to realise what Forex market is and how you can earn money from it.

Working with real money you should be objective. In order to make your trading profitable you have to develop and gain experience, only hard work can help you to achieve success on the international currency market Forex.

Ex-hackers could be recruited to UK cyber defence force

Convicted hackers could be recruited to the UK'S new cyber defence force, the defence secretary has said.

Philip Hammond announced plans for the unit last month, declaring it would have the capability to mount cyber attacks against other countries as a means of deterring them from striking against Britain.

Hundreds of computer experts will be recruited as reservists, trained with the help of GCHQ's joint cyber unit at Cheltenham, and, asked if they could include convicted hackers among their ranks, Hammond said it was a possibility.

"As a matter of policy, the armed forces don't necessarily exclude people who have criminal convictions," he told BBC Newsnight. "Each individual case would be looked at on it's merits. The conviction would be examined in terms of how long ago it was, how serious it was, what sort of sentence had followed. So I can't rule it out."

Hammond was asked for his views after the head of the new unit, Lieutenant Colonel Michael White, had responded positively, when the same question was put to him.

"I think if they could get through the security process, then if they had that capability that we would like, then if the vetting authority was happy with that, why not?" he said.

With many of the belief that there is a deficit of cybersecurity experts in the UK, the hiring of hackers could help plug the gap. A survey of IT professionals last month found that 70% believed businesses should hire ex-hackers to safeguard and improve online security. In the US, it is already common practice, with many companies recruiting at hacker conventions.

Last year, the UK's cyber defences blocked around 400,000 "advanced, malicious cyber threats" to the government secure intranet alone, according to Hammond. British ministers have not publicly named the culprits partly because it is so difficult to prove who exactly are behind cyber attacks but privately officials point the finger at Russia and China.

The defence secretary has said the new £500m unit could disable enemy communications, nuclear and chemical weapons, planes, ships and other hardware. He told Newsnight that there would be flexibility around recruitment criteria, for example in areas such as fitness, as it would be unnecessary for someone employed in cyber security to show the same physical fitness standards as other members of the armed forces.

Uruguay to sell legal marijuana for $1 a gram

Posted by: Unknown Posted date: 2:49 AM / comment : 0 business

Uruguay's drug tsar says the country plans to sell legal marijuana for $1 a gram to combat drug-trafficking, according to a local newspaper.

The plan to create a government-run legal marijuana industry has passed the lower house of Congress, and Uruguay's president, José Mujica, expects to push it through the Senate soon as part of his effort to explore alternatives in the war on drugs.

The measure would make Uruguay the first country in the world to license and enforce rules for the production, distribution and sale of marijuana for adult consumers.

Marijuana sales should start in the second half of 2014 at a price of about $1 a gram, drug chief Julio Calzada told Uruguay's El País, on Sunday – an eighth or less of what it costs at legal medical dispensaries in some US states.

Calzada said one gram would be enough "for one marijuana cigarette or two or three slimmer cigarettes".

He said the idea was not to make money but to fight petty crime and wrench the market away from illegal dealers.

"The illegal market is very risky and of poor quality," he said. The state was going to offer "a safe place to buy a quality product and on top of that, it's going to sell it at the same price".

In August, Calzada had estimated the price would be about $2.50 a gram. Sales would be restricted to locals, who would be able to buy up to 40g a month.

Smoking pot has long been legal in Uruguay, but growing, carrying, buying or selling it has been punishable by prison terms.

About 120,000 Uruguayans consume marijuana at least once a year, according to the National Drug Council. Of these, 75,000 smoke it every week and 20,000 every day.

In the US, the states of Washington and Colorado have legalised marijuana and adopted rules governing its sale. Unlike Uruguay, they will tax marijuana, seeing it as a revenue source, when it goes on legal sale next year.

In Washington, the state marijuana consultant has projected legal pot might cost $13-$17 a gram. Marijuana in the medical dispensaries typically ranges from $8-$14 a gram in Washington depending on quality.

भ्रष्टचारी एनसेलको ब्रह्मलुटको खुलासा

Posted by: Unknown Posted date: 7:18 PM / comment : 0 business

के तपाईंको हातमा रहेको मोबाइल सेटमा एनसेलको सिम छ ? यदि त्यसो हो भने तपाईंलाई पनि यसले भुसुक्कै ठगिसक्यो । यसको ठग्ने तरिका पनि कस्तो भने हामी सोझा नेपालीहरुले त बुझ्नै नसक्ने, थाहै नपाउने । अझ त्यसमाथि ‘एनसेल नेपालकै लागि’ भन्ने आकर्षक नाराले घर, भित्ता, बाटोघाटो पुल सबैतिर छ्याप्पै छोपेपछि त यसले झुक्याएको र थाङ्नामा सुताएकोमा शङ्कै गर्न नसकिने । धन्न अधिवक्ता मोहन शासङ्करले २० रुपैयाँ सापट दिएर २ रुपैयाँ ५८ पैसा ब्याज असुल्ने एनसेलको लुटविरुद्ध सर्वाेच्चमा उजुरी हाले र यसको ठगीधन्दा सार्वजानिक हुन पायो । डाटा सेन्टरबाट महत्वपूर्ण फोन वार्ताहरुको टेप रेर्कडिङ्ग गरी विभिन्न खुफिया एजेन्सीहरुलाई बेच्ने गरेको, आफ्ना ग्राहकहरुको एकाउन्टबाट सुटुक्कै रकम काट्ने गरेको जस्ता आरोपहरु व्यापक रुपमा लागिरहेका बेला एक वर्ष अघिदेखि ‘एनसेल सापटी’का नाममा लाखौंलाख ग्राहकहरुबाट गैरकानुनी रुपमा सापटीमा समेत ब्याज असुली गरिरहेको तथ्यसहितको उजुरी अदालतसम्म पुगेको हो । यस सम्बन्धमा न्यायधीश कल्याण श्रेष्ठको इजालसले यस प्रकारको वित्तिय कारोबार गर्ने, सापट दिने र ब्याज असुल्ने जस्ता कार्यहरु गर्नु पछाडीको कारण लिखित रुपमा पेश गर्न एनसेलको नाममा कारण देखाउ आदेश जारी गरेको छ । एनसेलले टेलिकम क्षेत्रमा नेपालकै सबैभन्दा ठूलो कम्पनी बनेको दाबी गरिरहेकै बेला नेपालकै सबैभन्दा भ्रष्ट कम्पनीको उपाधि समेत पाउने लगभग निश्चित झैं देखिन्छ ।

भ्रष्टचारी एनसेल

नेपालभित्र एनसेलले आफूविरुद्ध आउनसक्ने सबै निकाय र व्यक्तिहरुको मुखमा बुझो लगाए पनि स्वीडेनको एउटा चर्चित पत्रिका ‘भेकान्स अफेयर’ र केही टेलिभिजनहरुले एनसेलले नेपालमा गरेको भ्रष्टाचार बारे विस्तृत रुपमा विवरण सार्वजनिक गरिसकेको छ । नेपालमा सर्वप्रथम स्पाइस नेपाल कम्पनीका नाममा मेरो मोबाइलबाट व्यापार सुरु गरेकोमा हाल त्यसले एनसेल नाम पाएको छ । र, सुरुवातदेखि नै यो अपारदर्शी ढङ्गले एकबाट अर्काेमा स्वामित्व हस्तान्तरण हुँदै आइरहेको छ । सुरुमा राजेन्द्र खेतान ग्रुप र भारतको मोदी ग्रुपले मोबाइल सेवा सञ्चालन गर्ने गरी लाइसेन्स प्राप्त गरेका थिए । तर, त्यसले सेवा सञ्चालन भने चार वर्षपछि मात्र सुरु ग¥यो । जुनबेला स्पाइसका मालिकका रुपमा तत्कालिन राजा ज्ञानेन्द्रका ज्वाइँ राजबहादुर सिंह देखा परे । मोदी र खेतान समुहले लिएको लाइसेन्स कसरी राजग्रुपको हातमा पुग्यो त्यसबारे अहिलेसम्म कसैलाई केही जानकारी छैन । जानकारी होस् पनि कसरी न त स्वामित्व हस्तान्तरणको विवरण कम्पनी रजिस्ट्रार कार्यलयमा छ, न टेलिकम नियामक संस्था दूरसंचार प्राधिकरणमा नै यसबारे कुनै कागजात छ । पछि स्वीडेन र फिनल्यान्डको संयुक्त लगानी रहेको टेलियासोनेराले राजबहादुर सिंहबाट ४ अर्ब २० करोडमा यो खरिद ग¥यो र यसको नाम पनि मेरो मोबाइलबाट फेरेर एनसेल बनाइयो । तर, यो कारोबारको खुलासा कहीं कतै भएन । त्यत्रो कारोबार हुँदा राज्यले कुनै राजश्व पाएन । राज ग्रुपबाट टेलियासोनेरामा स्वामित्व पुग्दा पनि सोझो तरिका अपनाइएको थिएन । बीचमा क्यारेबियन र साइप्रसका विभिन्न नाम मात्रका कम्पनीहरुले त्यसमा आफ्नो स्वामित्व देखाए । रेनोल्डस् होल्डिङ् लिमिटेड, दाल्टो ट्रेड लिमिटेड जस्ता धेरै कम्पनीहरुको सेयर खरिद–बिक्री र थपघट भयो । अहिले नेपाली लगानीकर्ताको कम्तीमा २० प्रतिशत हिस्सा रहेकै हुनुपर्ने कानुनी बाध्यतालाई सम्बोधन गर्नका लागि मात्र सिनर्जी नेपालको नाममा केही नेपाली व्यापारीहरुको समूहलाई यसमा सहभागी गराइएको छ ।

सबैभन्दा रमाइलो कुरा त के छ भने मेरो मोबाइलमा ९५ प्रतिशत हिस्साका मालिक रहेका राजबहादुरबाट टेलियासोनेराले कम्पनी किनेको भएपनि सार्वजनिक रुपमा चाँही भिसोर ग्रुपबाट खरिद गरेको सार्वजानिक गरिएको छ । के विश्वास गरिन्छ भने साइप्रसमा रहेको दाल्टो ट्रेड नामक कागजी स्वरुप मात्र रहेको कम्पनी पनि राजबहादुरको नै हो । नेपाली साझेदारका रुपमा अहिले देखापरेका निरजगोविन्द श्रेष्ठ पनि नाम मात्रका हिस्सेदारका रुपमा रहेको स्रोत बताउँछ । वास्तवमा एनसेलमा नेपालीहरुको स्वामित्व लगभग शून्यका अवस्थामा पुगेका कारण यो नेपाली जनता र मुलुकप्रति थोरै पनि उत्तरदायी नबनी एक सुत्रीय ढंगले लुटको धन्दामा हौसिएर अगाडी बढेको छ । नेपालमा अख्तियार अनुसन्धान आयोगदेखि करकार्यलयले समेत एनसेलमा भएको भ्रष्टाचारबारे अनुसन्धान गर्दै छौं भने पनि त्यसलाई महत्व दिएर अगाडी बढाउन भने चासो देखाएको छैन । एनसेलले कति ठूलो रकमको चलखेल गरेको छ भने त्यसप्रतिको अनुसन्धान समाचार लेखनलाई प्राथमिकतामा राख्न खोज्ने जो कोहीलाई पनि सजिलै खरिद गर्छ । त्यसो त कर छली गर्ने कार्यमा एनसेल कति बिघ्न चलाख छ भने यसले ७ लाख २१ हजार डलर मूल्यको सामान खरिद गर्दा एयरपोर्ट भन्सारमा तिर्नुपर्ने राजश्व को ठाउँमा एक लाख ६८ हजारको बिल देखाएर कम पैसा ति¥यो । यसरी कर छली गर्न ०६८ साल फागुन १८ गते सामान भिœयाउँदा भन्सारमा उसले ०६६ साल असार ३ गतेको बिल पेश गरेको थियो । राजश्व न्यायधीकरण र यससँग सम्बन्धित अन्य निकायहरुले यसबारे निकै तदारुक्ताका साथ खोजी गर्न थालेपछि एनसेलले ५५ लाख रुपैयाँ जरिवाना तिर्नुप¥यो । सामान्य खोजी गर्दा त यत्रो कर छली गरेको पत्ता लाग्छ भने साँच्चै खोजी गर्ने र सम्बन्धित निकायहरु आर्थिक प्रलोभन र प्रभावमा नपरी एनसेलका गैरकानुनी क्रियाकलाप र गतिविधिको विरुद्ध उभिने हो भने कति ठूल–ठूला घटनाहरु सामुन्ने आउलान् सहजै अनुमान लगाउन सकिन्छ । यसरी देखादेखी कर छल्ने र राष्ट्रलाई नै ठग्ने एनसेलले अहिले आफूसँग एक करोड ग्राहक रहेको दाबी गरिरहेको छ । यदि एक जनाबाट प्रत्येक दिन सुटुक्क एक रुपैयाँ मात्र चोरी ग¥यो भने क्षणभरमै एक करोड रुपैयाँ कमाउँछ । यस्तो चोरी नियत भएको ठगहरुले चलाएको र नेपाली लुट्ने एकमात्र उद्देश्य बोकेर क्रियाशील रहेको एनसेलले थाहै नपाई हामीलाई पलपलमा नलुट्ला भन्न सक्ने अवस्था छैन । एनसेलले कसरी ठग्छ र ग्राहक झुक्याउँछ भन्ने कुराको उदाहरणका रुपमा यसले सार्वजानिक गर्ने विभिन्न उपहार र बम्पर योजनामा गर्दै आइरहेको ठगी र इन्टरनेट डिभाइस निःशुल्क दिने भन्दै झुक्याउने र इन्टरनेट डाटा चलाउने ग्राहकहरुलाई ठगेका घटनाहरुलाई प्रमाणका रुपमा हेरेपनि सबै कुरा छर्ल¨ हुन्छ ।

Making Money Online Without AdSense Account

Posted by: Unknown Posted date: 11:32 PM / comment : 0 business

What I did after experimenting with AdSense and pay per click...

One day I was researching AdSense and other pay per click programs and came across information about online money making opportunities. I thought that some of them sounded pretty interesting, but I was skeptical. I thought all free money making opportunities must be scams.

At the same time that I was learning about making money online, I was learning how to be a new mom. I was breastfeeding and exhausted because my baby didn't sleep well. That's when I found Cafe Mom. It's a great social network that is just for moms. I saw other moms on the Cafe Mom forums talking about making money with GPT and paid survey sites. So many moms just like me were talking about making money with these sites and even showing screen shot proofs of their payment.

That's when I started experimenting with various opportunities and that's when I also started to get paid. If it was free to join and it paid, I gave it a try. I found that there are many affiliate programs that allow you to offer products and earn commission on the sales. If you have a blog (even a free Blogger blog) or write pages on sites like Squidoo, Huppages, etc, then you can offer products via your affiliate link and earn money. My favorite affiliate program is LinkShare. Through LinkShare, I'm doing well making money as a Walmart Affiliate.

10 Ways to Make Money with Your Website

Posted by: Unknown Posted date: 5:01 AM / comment : 0 business

There are several lists with “ways to make money with a website” on the Internet, but none of them seem to be complete. That is why I decided to create this one. If you know a method that is not listed below, just let us know and we’ll update it.

Notice that ways to make money with a website are different from ways to make more money from it. Methods to increase your traffic or click-through rate will help you make more money, but they do not represent a method of making money per se.

For example, one could suggest that blending AdSense ads with the content is a way to make money from a website. In reality it’s not; it’s just a way to make more money by improving your ad click-through rate. The real monetization method behind it is a PPC ad network.

1. CPM Advertising Networks

CPM advertising networks behave pretty much as PPC networks, except that you get paid according to the number of impressions (i.e., page views) that the ads displayed on your site will generate. CPM stands for Cost per Mille, and it refers to the cost for 1,000 impressions.

A blog that generates 100,000 page views monthly displaying an advertising banner with a $1 CPM, therefore, will earn $100 monthly.

CPM rates vary with the network, the position of the ad and the format. The better the network, the higher the CPM rate (because they have access to more advertisers). The closer you put the ad to the top of the page, the higher the CPM. The bigger the format (in terms of pixels), the higher the CPM.

You can get as low as $0,10 and as high as $10 per 1,000 impressions (more in some special cases). CPM advertising tends to work well on websites with a high page views per visitor ratio (e.g., online forums, magazines and so on).

List of popular CPM advertising networks:

    Casale Media
    Burst Media
    Value Click
    Advertising.com
    Tribal Fusion
    Right Media

2.Premium Content

Some websites and blogs give away part of their content for free, and charge for access to the premium content and exclusive tools.

SEOMoz is a good example. They have a very popular blog that gives advice and information on wide range of SEO related topics. On top of that visitors can decide to become premium members. It costs $48 monthly and it grants them access to guides, tools and other exclusive material.

3. PPC Advertising Networks

Google AdSense is the most popular option under this category, but there are also others. Basically you need to sign up with the network and paste some code snippets on your website. The network will then serve contextual ads (either text or images) relevant to your website, and you will earn a certain amount of money for every click.

The profitability of PPC advertising depends on the general traffic levels of the website and, most importantly, on the click-through rate (CTR) and cost per click (CPC). The CTR depends on the design of the website. Ads placed abode the fold or blended with content, for instance, tend to get higher CTRs. The CPC, on the other hand, depends on the nice of the website. Mortgages, financial products and college education are examples of profitable niches (clicks worth a couple of dollars are not rare), while tech-related topics tend to receive a smaller CPC (sometimes as low as a couple of cents per click).

The source of the traffic can also affect the overall CTR rate. Organic traffic (the one that comes from search engines) tends to perform well because these visitors were already looking for something, and they tend to click on ads more often. Social media traffic, on the other hand, presents terribly low CTRs because these visitors are tech-savvy and they just ignore ads.

List of popular CPC advertising networks:

    Google Adsense
    Yahoo! Publisher Network (YPN)
    BidVertiser
    Chitika
    Clicksor

4. Direct Banner Advertising

Selling your own advertising space is one of the most lucrative monetization methods. First and foremost because it enables you to cut out the middleman commissions and to determine your own rates. The most popular banner formats on the web are the 728×90 leaderboard, the 120×600 skyscraper, the 300×250 rectangle and the 125×125 button.

The downside of direct banner advertising is that you need to have a big audience to get qualified advertisers, and you will need to spend time managing the sales process, the banners and the payments.

5. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a very popular practice on the Internet. Under this system you have a merchant that is willing to let other people (the affiliates) sell directly or indirectly its products and services, in exchange for a commission. Sometimes this type of advertising is also called CPA (cost per action) or CPL (cost per lead) based.

Affiliates can send potential customers to the merchant using several tools, from banners to text links and product reviews.

In order to find suitable affiliate programs you can turn to individual companies and publishers like Dreamhost and SEOBook, or join affiliate marketplaces and networks.

List of popular affiliate marketplaces and networks:

    Commission Junction
    ClickBank
    Azoogle Ads
    Link Share

6. Monetization Widgets

The latest trend on the web are widgets that let you monetize your website. Examples include Widgetbucks and SmartLinks. Some of these services operate under a PPC scheme, others behave like text link ads, others yet leverage affiliate links.

Their main differentiator, however, is the fact that they work as web widgets, making it easier for the user to plug and play the service on its website.

List of companies that provide monetization widgets:

    WidgetBucks
    ScratchBack
    SmartLinks

7. Text Link Ads

After Google declared that sites selling text links without the nofollow tag would be penalized, this monetization method became less popular.

Many website owners are still using text links to monetize their sites, though, some using the nofollow tag and some not.

The advantage of this method is that it is not intrusive. One can sell text links directly through his website or use specialized networks like Text-Link-Ads and Text-Link-Brokers to automate the process.

Text link marketplaces and networks:

    DigitalPoint Link Sales Forum
    Text-Link-Ads
    Text-Link-Brokers
    TNX
    LinkWorth

8. Sponsored Reviews

PayPerPost pioneered this model, with much controversy on the beginning (related to the fact that they did not require disclosure on paid posts). Soon other companies followed, most notably Sponsored Reviews and ReviewMe, refining the process and expanding the paid blogging model.

Joining one of these sponsored reviews marketplaces will give you the opportunity to write sponsored posts on a wide range of topics. Not all bloggers are willing to get paid to write about a specific product or website (because it might compromise the editorial credibility), but the ones who do are making good money out of it.

If your blog has a big audience you could also offer sponsored reviews directly, cutting off the commissions of the middleman.

List of sponsored reviews and paid blogging networks:

    PayPerPost
    Sponsored Reviews
    ReviewMe
    BlogVertise
    Smorty

9. Sponsors for Single Columns or Events

If you website has specific columns or events (e.g., a weekly podcast, an interview series, a monthly survey, a special project) you could find companies to sponsor them individually.

This method increases the monetization options for website owner, while giving advertisers the possibility to target a more specific audience and with a reduced commitment.

Mashable illustrates the case well. They have several advertising options on the site, including the possibility to sponsor specific columns and articles, including the “Daily Poll” and the “Web 2.0 Invites.”

Problogger also runs group writing projects occasionally, and before proceeding he publicly announce the project asking for sponsors.

10. RSS Feed Ads

With the quick adoption of the RSS technology by millions of Internet users, website owners are starting to find ways to monetize this new content distribution channel.

Feedburber already has its own publisher network, and you can sign-up to start displaying CPM based advertising on your feed footer. Bidvertiser recently introduced a RSS feed ad option as well, with a PPC scheme.

Finally, some blogs are also opting to sell banners or sponsored messages on their feed directly. John Chow and Marketing Pilgrim are two examples.

How Much Money Can You Make on YouTube?

How Much Money Can You Make on YouTube?

It would be hard to find a person who never wondered how much money you can make by uploading videos to YouTube, especially if one of your videos go viral. That’s exactly what happened with the video below where little Charlie bites the finger of his brother:

The video is now the 6th most viewed all time, with close to 430 million views. If you exclude commercial videos this is the most viewed one. And how much money did the parents make by uploading it?

They didn’t reveal the exact number, but they said it was more than $150,000. Not bad for 57 seconds and a camera huh?

12 Things to Do Before Applying for Google Adsense

Posted by: Unknown Posted date: 4:28 AM / comment : 0 business

I know many of you want to make some good money with adsense right? But it’s not easy to get into adsense program now a days. You have to do few things before applying for adsense.

Adsense is world’s larges Ads Network and works at Pay Per Click system. It’s paying rates are better than all of other networks which is the biggest reason it is so popular to all Bloggers and Webmasters. But since everybody is running behind them, they have made the approval system very strict. You make little mistakes and get disapproved every time. So you need a complete guidance and list of thing that you need to do before applying for Google Adsense and supposing that you are ready.

12 Things to Do Before Applying for Adsense

1. Privacy Policy :

One of the common mistakes that every Blogger makes and that I made many times before finally getting approved. Even though there are people out there who say that having a Privacy Policy for a Blog doesn’t makes sense but they are wrong.

A Privacy actually describes to your readers about what they will get on your Blog , what they should do and what they should not. So obviously there is nothing bad in having a Privacy Policy. While it can affect somehow on your Adsense Approval, you must give it a try. You can write it yourself or find Privacy Policy Generators online (You don’t need a lawyer anyway).

2. About Page

An About has major role and importance if you don’t want to apply for Adsense. But when it comes to Adsense, they are about Zero chances of getting approved if you are not showing this page.About page simply describes about you and your Blog . This will not only help you establish a relationship with readers but it will also make them trust upon you.

3. Contact Us Page

It’s quite obvious that everyone has his/her own opinion. What one of your readers likes may be bothering someone else. Than it is better to give them opportunity to speak up to you and tell how they feel about your Blog, what they want to be edited , what they liked or hated.

It will also show the Google Adsense Team that is viewing your site that you actually care about your readers and not only the money and Adsense.

4. Name/ Email Verification

Make sure to put you Name and Email address in some easily visible area like About Me and Contact Us pages. It will confirm to Google Adsense Team that it is the same person who applied for Adsense and not some spam, crappy bots.

5. Age Verification

Because this is where I encountered a problem. Instead of 18, I accidentally published my age as 17 while on Adsense Application Form, it was accurately 18.

Hence there started a problem . Because Google Adsense is not for under 18 people. I realized this problem after being disproved a few times without any legitimate reason. So I advice you to be accurate while typing your age.

6. Minimum Number of Posts

There is no exact answer. Not even one. Because I have seen very established Blogs with 400+ posts and their owner telling me that Google Adsense is rejecting them while somewhere ,people with 40,50 posts are enjoying making money. Exactly what I said that there is no actual answer. However, we can always predict things. According to my experience , you should only apply after you have more than 70 posts. Posts length should must be 500+ words too.

7. Top Level Domain

Those are gone far away when Adsense used to approve “Blogspot” and “WordPress.com” Blogs. As for today, you must have your own unique domain that specifies your Blog. If you don’t have one yet, stop dreaming about getting approved with Sub domains and go buy a Top Level Domain.

Another important thing about domain is it’s age. Because for most of Asian Countries, Adsense has placed an age restriction. They don’t accept any sites before they are 6 months old.

8. Design

Your Blog is the biggest thing after Content. This represents your expertise ,experience and Professionalism. So be careful because anything can kill your Chances.

9. Content Type

Be careful with what type of content you are publishing. Because it is something that truly matters. Google Adsense is not for Pornographic, Illegal Items, Drugs or other Blogs / Sites like that. Also Adsense team won’t be willing to allow you to step in if you own a Non English Blog. Having posts shorter than 300 words in length is also Red Signal.

10. Providing Value

Don’t complain about not making money and don’t clearly state that your are Blogging for Money only and have no other interest in it. Because this will show them that you will not be providing values to your readers any day. Hence another Red Light glows up.

11. Other Ad Networks

If you have any other Ads placed like Chitika, Clicksor or anything, it’s time to drop them off.

Even Google Adsense allows you to use other Ad Networks along with them, it’s better to remove the ads before Applying and don’t put them back until you get a reply from Adsense Team.

12. Paid Traffic

Google hates the sites that are getting Paid traffic and mostly penalizes them so there is not a damn chance of getting Adsense Approval letter for a site that is getting paid traffic. You can bring traffic from Search Engines or any other way you want but if you want to earn via Google Adsense the right way, paid traffic is not a solution.

Why I Will Never Use Adsense on a Blog Again

Posted by: Unknown Posted date: 4:09 AM / comment : 0 business

Nine years ago I started a fitness blog, wrote some articles, slapped on an Adsense unit or two and then a year later sold it for $30,000. I was pretty happy with myself. And while it was the right move for me at the time I can’t help but wonder how much I could have sold it for if I had ignored Adsense and done something totally different.

In this article I am going to talk about why I will never use Adsense on a blog again. I hope at least some of you pay attention.

Why is Adsense is so attractive?

Let’s start the post by admitting that Adsense is very attractive to a lot of people. You just sign up for an account, write some blog posts and watch the money get paid into your account every month. It is quite alluring. I’ll never forget the feeling of my first $1 day, $10, $50 day and so on. Like a drug, I constantly checked my stats to see how many clicks I had got in the last ten minutes.

But while all this was happening I was losing money. Each Adsense click of between 10 cents and $5 represented a loss to my blog. I only wish that back then I had thought about the fact that there are much better ways to make money from a blog. Ways that perhaps aren’t as sexy in the short term, but work out to be a lot greater in the long run.

Why I will never use Adsense on a blog again

Now I want to get into the main bulk of this post and tell you why I will avoid Adsense on my blogs from now on. If anyone out there disagrees with me or has taken a similar course of action I would really love to hear about it.

1. Each click represents a lost reader
The purpose of blogging is to get readers. You craft headlines, opening paragraphs and content in order to catch people’s attention on social media and Google but then you send them off your blog by encouraging them to click Adsense ads. It is actually quite perplexing. I see hundreds of articles on how to increase Adsense CTR and get more clicks but no one ever seems to talk about the fact that maybe sending your hard earned visitors away is a very bad idea.

2. It dilutes your brand equity
When you place another advert on your website you are passing equity to that brand. For example, if Daniel put an advert for a spamming software on the side of Daily Blog Tips it means that he endorses that brand. So Daily Blog Tips’ brand is then associated with the spamming brand.

Adsense makes it hard because you do not have complete control over who advertises. Yes you can blacklist certain URLs but it would take a massive amount of time to make sure every brand that appeared on your site was a good one. I know the owner of a very large Luxury Watch blog who lost a lot of high profile Swiss contacts because his Adsense ads served up replica watch promotions.
So what should I do instead?

Now the question becomes about what one should do instead of Adsense. It is a very important question to ask. If I had asked it of myself ten years ago I imagine I would probably be earning five or ten times what I am today.

The answer is email subscribers
I have said it before and I will say it again. The money is in the mailing list. The most successful bloggers and web marketers all place an emphasis on capturing as many email subscribers as possible. Look at Problogger, Copyblogger, John Chow, Shoemoney and the rest; they all make millions of dollars a year because they have large lists of interested email subscribers who they can email to:

    Promote new products
    Any time you launch a new product you can send out an email or a series of emails designed to get people interested in and ready to buy. Darren Rowse did this recently when he launched his new book. Before it is even published he knows that he has close to 150,000 people that will look at the advert.
    Launch new websites
    What if you want to expand your website to something new or create a sister site? Well instead of doing all the ground work to get those initial users you just send out emails to your list. If it is relevant and related you will find that most of your fans follow you over.
    Sell affiliate products
    The last thing I will talk about here is the fact that niche email lists give you a massive opportunity to sell affiliate products to a very actionable audience. You can earn between 40% and 80% on affiliate sales by just sending out an email. You don’t even have to create the product, just promote other people’s.

Capturing email subscribers is a long term strategy that pays massive and ongoing dividends. Remember that visitor who clicked an Adsense ad and made you 30 cents? He could have subscribed to your list and be earning you hundreds of dollars a year by purchasing your products or ongoing affiliate offers.
What are your thoughts?

I’d really like to hear your thoughts on this matter as I know there are quite a few fans of Adsense here on Daniel’s site. Have you stopped using Adsense and tried something else with great success? Or do you think Adsense is the best earnings model and will never abandon it? Please drop a comment and let me know.

Top 10 Best Ways To Earn Money Online

Posted by: Unknown Posted date: 5:30 AM / comment : 0 business

I thought it would be a good idea to write a post listing the top 10 ways to make money online since I get so many emails from people asking me what actually works out there.

Below I am going to go over each method and talk about how you can actually get started. I tried to list them in order, but honestly there isn’t one top way to make money because it all depends on your skills. Each person is unique, so what works for others might not work for you. Some people can make decent amount of money doing affiliate marketing while others can’t squeeze a dime and fail constantly at it.

So before you actually choose which money making method is right for you, make sure it’s something you totally see yourself doing or have passion for. These strategies work now in 2012 and will work in 2013, 2014, and for many more years to come.

1. Creating Mobile Apps –
There is a mobile app for almost everything these days. You can actually make a lot of money creating simple apps that people find useful, funny, or entertaining.

The business model is quite simple too. You want to create apps that people want to download on their smartphone. You can charge per download or sell advertising space inside your apps.

Some apps get downloaded millions of times and get major exposure. This not only creates a huge revenue stream but also builds a customer base that you could sell other apps to you will develop later on.

Here is an article from Time.com listing 50 of the most popular iPhone apps for 2011.

How can you start developing apps? It’s simple, just save up some money first because you will need to outsource it lol (unless you are a coder/graphic designer/marketer then go for it)

You can outsource small apps on sites like Odesk.com. Prices depend on the scale of your project. You could develop a simple game for about $2k-$5k.

I don’t know much about this so if I were you, I would do some extensive research on how to promote these apps and how to get them approved before you pull the trigger.

2. Selling Info Products & Software –
This is probably the most popular way to make money online because the cost of entry isn’t as high. You can create video courses using Camtasia studio and Powerpoint.

It doesn’t take long to write a nice 30-50 page ebook that you could start selling. There are places such as Warrior Forum (for IM niche only) where you can sell your info products without worrying about traffic.

The key is to find a niche full of impulse buyers. Info products sell very well to people who have problems. If you can solve their problem for them or show them how to get rid of it, then you will definitely make sales.

Software products are easy to sell. All you have to do is develop something that people want or need and show them on video how it works. It doesn’t get any easier than that.

You can hire a coder on Odesk.com, Freelancer.com, or Elance.com to develop a software application for you.

Here is an article I wrote about how to make money selling software.

3. Building Content Sites – I have always thought that the big money is in “producing content”. I am talking specifically about creating massive content sites. Some small affiliate sites do not fall into this category. Millions of dollars are being made from these content giants each year. Some of them sold for tens or even hundreds of millions.

Example:

AssociatedContent.com – sold for a cool $100 million to Yahoo…source link
HuffingtonPost.com – sold for a whooping $315 million to AOL…source link
TechCrunch.com – sold for a nice $20 million to AOL…source link
How would you like to work on a website for a couple of years and then turn around to sell it for tens of millions? You would not have to do anything for the rest of your life.
So how can you start a web property of this caliber? Well, for majority of people it’s not possible because in my opinion you need to invest funds into this project. Your $5k-10k won’t do it either. You need to hire writers, and have them post at least 10-20 well written and engaging articles per day.
Let’s just say it costs you $30/article. That’s a $600/day investment for a year. Of course, the site would start bringing in profits after a few months (if you know how to promote it right), but either way do you have $12k per month to throw at it?
Most people don’t have that kind of budget. Can you do it alone? I doubt it, you would burn out fast.

4. Publishing On Kindle –
This way of making money became very popular in 2011. It’s very simple too and anyone can do this.

Can you write a simple ebook? If yes, then you can publish on Kindle platform. Amazon will take care of everything for you.

You don’t need a payment processor, website, or a domain name. Just write your ebook and upload it to Amazon. Once approved it will automatically become available to millions of Kindle users.

There are a lot of resources online that you can read and even courses that you could purchase. I published an article on how to get started with Kindle publishing that you should check out.

The process is very simple. Write an ebook and design an ecover graphic for it. You could write something decent over one weekend. Then just decide what you want to charge for it and put it up on Amazon.

The big money is in volume. The more ebooks you have out there the more money you can make, although it’s possible to make a million dollars with just one Kindle book.

Here are some cool articles to read:

- How to make a million selling kindle ebooks – DailyMail.co.uk

- 99 Cent Kindle Millionaires – NathanBransford.com

Keep in mind that you don’t have to write fiction ebooks to succeed. Sell ebooks that solve problems. You could publish “How To” stuff and still do well.

5. Offline Marketing
– Believe it or not offline businesses are waking up to the fact they need an online presence. There are millions of businesses out there that don’t have a website or even a facebook fanpage.

You could take advantage of this and start offering your services for a fee and make some serious money.

It’s easy to rank sites for local businesses because they usually target keywords that are not very competitive and only in their local area.

Some marketers sell “do it for me” services that don’t even cost anything. A lot of businesses do not have a clue how to submit their listing to Google places. They are scared of technology and that creates an opportunity for you.

You could offer online marketing services not only in your local area but in many different cities.

A lot of brick and mortar business owners don’t know how to create a facebook fanpage. You could charge anywhere from $100 to $200 per setup and then even throw in some monthly fees for maintaining it every month for them.

There are many great opportunities here. If you are not afraid of contacting business owners and you know how to talk to them, then you might want to try this out.

6. Flipping Websites –
You can build websites for the sole purpose of selling them. It works and it’s one of the best ways to make money online quickly. Don’t confuse it with the number 1 method I talked about above. It’s different because here you go for volume rather than working on one web property for years.

You could build an affiliate site that makes $500/month in affiliate commissions and easily sell it for about $5k on Flippa.com.

The cool part is that with this strategy you can build up substantial capital in a short period of time for other bigger projects you want to jump into.

If you could sell 5 sites for $5k each that’s $25k in your bank account. Now invest into software development or build more sites to flip.

Once you have that kind of capital you can totally outsource the entire process. Flipping sites for profit is a solid business model.

Think about it…Would you rather own the site for 10 months to make the $5k, or would you rather sell it and get all that money upfront to start 2-3 more sites like that?

Here is a post I wrote about making money on Flippa a while ago.

7. Affiliate Marketing –
This is my favorite way to generate revenue online. It’s probably the easiest too. The concept basically works like this:

- Find a niche where people spend money

- Find good relevant products to promote in that niche

- Drive traffic to your landing page where you presell the product

From my experience majority of people fail at being able to drive traffic. Without targeted traffic you cannot make money with affiliate marketing.

You can either go for free traffic or buy it. Paid traffic can produce instant results and data that is required to scale your affiliate campaign.

The problem is that over 90% of newbie affiliate marketers are broke, so they can’t afford to spend thousands of dollars on testing and optimizing campaigns.

If you got some capital saved up you could get straight into media buying and start banking overnight. As soon as you turn on the traffic and you know what you are doing, the sales start rolling in. It’s a great feeling!

But if you are low on budget then there is another way. You can build smaller affiliate niche sites and try to rank them for product review keywords. This method takes a little bit of time sometimes and can be frustrating. The key to making a good affiliate review site is quality content that actually provides value. Some one page site with 500 words article won’t cut it.

I wrote many posts about affiliate marketing here on my blog that you might find interesting.

8. Video Marketing –
Becoming a celebrity is now easier than ever. You got something funny to share? Got talent? Make a video and upload it to Youtube!

Youtube also offers their partner program that allows you to not only customize your channel, but also to earn revenue from ads being displayed inside your videos.

Obviously you would need millions of views to make any substantial money from it. There is more to it though, because the big profits might not come from ads but from your following and other possibilities that open up when you become a famous Youtube celebrity. That’s where the big money is at.

Don’t have any talents? No problem, you can still use video marketing to make money online. Some people review products from Amazon using video, or drive traffic to their own blog where they can sell stuff.

I am sure you can find something valuable to share that people search for or need answers to.

Here is a post I published a while back listing 3 ways to make money with Youtube.

9. Selling Stuff On Craigslist Or Ebay –
Got old stuff you don’t need? Sell them on Ebay or Craigslist. It’s a great way to earn some extra money when you are short on cash. You could actually make a full time income with this if you could find a source of products that you can sell over and over again.

One major drawback of making money this way is that you constantly need to ship stuff and you are ending up trading time for money.

Is it possible to build a stable business selling stuff on Ebay? Absolutely, but like I said you need to find things to sell that people actually want to buy.

I personally hate dealing with shipping and handling. For me to do this I would need to outsource the entire operation.

There are dropshipping companies out there, but it’s not easy to find something that someone else isn’t already selling at even lower prices.

You could go to garage sales and pick up stuff that people want to get rid off during summer time and list all that on Ebay. I know some folks that do that. They might not be making a killing from it, but still it’s extra money that can pay some bills.

10. Freelancing –
I listed this method of making money at the bottom because I would hate to do this. If you are a good writer you can write articles, ebooks, reports, or blog posts for other marketers. You could ghostwrite a book and get paid well for it, but it’s basically a job not a way to build wealth.

If you know how to code you can apply for projects on Odesk.com and get paid when you deliver a finished product.

Can you make a full time income by being a freelancer? Sure, but you will be working hours everyday just to make someone else rich.

Check out my previous post on how to get paid well for writing articles.

The money making methods listed above are proven to work and people actually do make money with them. You should choose the one that you feel is best for you.

What’s important to notice is that the ones that are designed to build wealth require a substantial investment to get things started. Yes, it takes money to make money!

I am sure you’ve already been exposed to claims on other sites that you could make easy money doing nothing. Well, it doesn’t work like that.

The 3 things required for success are: patience, persistence, and money(most of the time)
