 This is the continuation of my never-gonna-happen-soon plan of travelling around

You are to go for a short break to some destination. How do you plan your trip? Well, thanks to Internet, its never a hard job. First, pick your destination. Not sure where to go? Check out the great guide you can find online, for instance go HotelsByCity . They have a freaking 500 cities in their city guide listings! Second, look for nice place for you to stay. The same site above provides the hotels listing, so it make things easier for you. Try Cheap Hotels

My father always wanted to go to Australia. No idea why, but I heard lots of good things about Australia. Correct me if I’m wrong, GreenPeace is from there right? Hmm..anyway so I decided to search for Sydney city guide and hoooolaaa! It was full of information …macam ini

The Rocks is a popular site in Sydney. In 1788, it was the location of Australia’s first European settlement. Interestingly enough its first residents were convicts, whose crimes included stealing bread.

I tried the same site for listings of hotels in Malaysia. To my surprise, they have it too! A check for Malaysian cities came up with even places like Lumut, Perai Butterworth and Seri Kembangan! Here’s the Langkawi link

Money comes and money goes. It doesn’t matter on how you make money, but how you spend it. $$$ man, its the world.

I am religious person. Really,while I do believe in god and I do go temples , I still don’t see myself as a religious person. Im very liberal. Nevertheless, I have a conservative and sentimental feelings! I believe in karma. What is karma? Whatever you do, will be done unto you one day, in one way or another.

While you may make tonnes of income, or just a meagre income, make it a point to DONATE. Yes, a friend of mine told me last time, for every ringgit that I earn, its better if I could donate 10% of it! Okay, 10% might sound waaaay to high. But still, the point is, make it a principle to donate money whenever possible without any expectation. Because based on my own life experience, when your hand gives out, another hand will come feeding you.

Okay I know this is waaaaay out of our normal topic flow. But let me give you some insight into one of the best way to make money!

ForEx. or Forex. Foreign Exchange. What is it?

A currency trade which allows people to trade one currency for another trying to determine which currency’s value will increase by the end of a determined time.

Okay don’t get confused. Lets all take a normal real scenario. Remember before the 1997 Crisis, one ringgit equaled to 2.5USD. So for argument sake, lets say in 1997 you bought USD 100 bill for RM 250. Okay. Cool. Now way forward to 2007. The value of that same USD 100 bill is; RM 350 !!! See how you made a RM100 profit by not doing anything at all? Hahaha…that is the concept of currency trade.

Our earlier case saw an increasement in currency value for a looong period. Currency trading is simply buying a foreign exchange in a bulk, and see if the currency grows stronger. When it does, you’ll sell it or buy another currency which will yield a better result.

Well, I have seen how people really make money from it, but as anything else, hardwork and patience is the key to success. You can never make money from not doing anything. Who will pay you for not doing anything, even parents are complaining these days!!

Hmm..you’re still blur? No? Hmm, okay let me be frank, Im no expert in this as well! But don’t worry, there is always Internet to help you. Those who still wish to learn on Forex, head here or try this new website called eToro. This is a Forex Trading website, which accomplishes its goal to enable non professionals and people interested in learning and practicing trading, by easing the way into this world through a user friendly environment.

The trades are represented in a clear graphical visualization, coupled with online tutorials, live support and the embracing community communication through the in-platform chat and the forum.

Who is in this business? You can share your experience here, or email me at email@bmahendran.com . I’m sure alot people wish to learn from you, even if need to pay!

The blog or Weblog to give the full name has been around for a number of years; it’s the last 3 or so years they have started to become so popular. So what is a blog?

Here is a definition from Wikipedia (a online encyclopaedia)

A weblog (usually shortened to blog, but occasionally spelled web log) is a web-based publication consisting primarily of periodic articles (normally in reverse chronological order).

Although most early weblogs were manually updated, tools to automate the maintenance of such sites made them accessible to a much larger population, and the use of some sort of browser-based software is now a typical aspect of “blogging”.

Quite simply they are an online journal or scrap book where the user can easily talk about (post) any subject they choose. They have advanced quite a lot in the last few years and they can know host video, audio, photos as well as text content.

The simplicity of using these online applications to put content online immediately with little or no technical know how has opened the internet up to millions of new users. In fact if you can use a word process package on you PC then you can run a blog.

In fact the blog has gone beyond a simple web journal and blogging platforms such as the very popular Wordpress have become the basis for very neat sites.

Because of the ease of creating new and unique content using a blog the search engines love them giving them high page ranking, this mean they appear at or near the top of the search results page. This is what makes them so good at making you money.

What ever you are selling if you have a good well maintained blog the chances are people searching for your product / service will see your blog , make purchase etc.

The other major benefit is the very low cost of setting up a blog that makes it an easy profit point in your business. It’s much easier to get in to profit if the investment is almost zero.

NEXT : How to create blogs !

I really need a lawyer. Seriously. Hindraf issue just almost got me killed off. What happens if suddnely someone knocks the door and puts me in Kamunting?!! hahaha. okay thats way off imagination limit :p

But to be frank with you, I know I am being watched. Followed and phone line being tapped.

How to get lawyers? Hmmm. I only know Harris Ibrahim who I met once, not sure he would give me free legal service! So those of you, before anything happens, better hire a lawyer, pick from the well known or trusted law firms .
Talking of lawyers, those in US , erm…well my website receives nearly 7% total hits from US. Those in US, try check this lawfirms. Its about Nebraska car accident lawyer , lawfirm, legal entity whatever! They provide legal services. If you have been injured in an accident, and want to learn about your rights to compensation, try them!

Today I just sat in front of my pc and , well, just stared at the monitor! Nice old and dying CRT monitor. 
Yes, I still use the technology old CRT compared to the LCD. Why you ask? Hmm..why on earth I have this blog again?

Watched Scrubs, season 7. Funny, but made me realise, I have missed so much of the whole siries. JD now has a baby! Not its not this JD , its the character JD in scrubs :p

sigh, penat writing craps.

Its the year end guys! Only one thing to do, get a week long break and take a break off from this world! AHaha. My earlier day (teenager time lah! ) was spent wihtout much travelling, hey we couldn’t afford those vacations. Christmas would be to go to my aunt’s house in Penang and start jumping into Santa Clause mood!

But things are no longer the same. Its getting cheaper and you can actually travel and have a 3days cuti-cuti only with few hundred bucks in your hand. Before that, plan your trip. Get the best accomodation, and finding good hotel at good price is not hard after all!

Try head your browser to Hotel Reservations .com .

You have an ambition of opening your own shop, but can’t find the right outlet, for the right price rite? Hehehe, well, that is when you would need to think the power of Internet. With the largest market spanning the entire glogal population, who’s to stop you?!

So what do you need to open an online shop? Obviously a shopping cart software . Okay, for those not into tech stuff, all you need is a software or web-engine script that will be capable of doing all the backend works needed to cater the visitors, or in our case, ‘customers’. I know web-scripting. So if I were to open up an online shopping mart, I know what to do and how to do it. Not everyone has the knowledge. This is when the service providers will come in handy!

No need any IT knowledge! Just pay them your $$$ and they will install all the needed scripts and by the time you check your bank balance, the shop is online and running! Its easy. There are many such online mart or commerce software available, and this new product called is certainly promising!
Must give it a try. If you still can’t figure out how to do this, and yet stil wish to open your own online store, well….hehee..IM HERE!!! email me at email@bmahendran.com and I will certainly be able to setup for you, for minimal fee of course!

Well after using PayPerPost services, now I have travelled further in this new world by signing up with Smorty, a great blog advertising.
Well, they do the same ; advertise on blogs, and pays you! Tulipspeaks said its not really worth it, since they pay less but for me its more because of the things that I’m writing. For instance, PPP’s subjects are kinda limited and for me its strict, where as Smorty offers a more wide variety, or at least that is what I can see from the first 15minutes using it! hAhahaha!

Well the Smorty concept is the same like any paid-review providers, Get paid to blog, get paid for blogging, blog advertising, advertise on blogs, blog for money, moolah for blog, keyboard makes money and watever sentences you can make with the word money and its symbol $$$.

It has been a great time for the past one month learning money blogging from many sources and I can conclude that they are several safe and confirmed to work money-making methods..and certainly Smorty is one of it.  As I have said few friends tried Smorty already and recommended me on it. Which is why I signed up too! And guess what, you have 4 opportunities worth USD 6 for each post, readily waiting for you to claim! It was really an easy way and the topics that was given is more interesting. So while you continue to do your passion in blog, you make money as well.

In fact it is Smorty that gave me additional tips on how to gain back those lost PageRank by Google due to paid post reviews. To prevent any future loss of page rank due to this issue you can take the following steps:

1. Remove all sponsored post tags on each of your posts. Google can follow these tags to determine if you are being paid for posts.
2. Remove any PayPerPost tags on your posts for “hire me” and “review me”. Any general affiliate banners are fine to keep.

Till then, lets earn !!!
