Tips For Handling Several Blogs
Aug 10th
Hi!
I just realize that I have more than 10 blogs to manage. They are all fully developed and what I have to do is just to post an article on them. But that is too much strain for one man show blogger. Don’t you think so?
Since the beginning of my blogging hobby, I numbered my blogs because I’m an organized person. By numbering the blogs, I hope that I can update the blogs by their number orders. No matter how long it takes, I make myself stick to that particular blogs before proceed to the next blog in order of the numbering that I’ve set before hand.
But…
I found out that this is not very flexible and not very productive because sometimes I don’t have any idea what to post to the blogs on the current order. Following the discipline I make myself, which is to stick to this blog is indeed a waste of time. So to overcome this problem I make a new rule for myself. If I don’t have any idea at that very moment of the blog, I will just proceed to the next blog in the order. But I only come back to that blog only after its turn again in the ordering number. Well, this system actually is an ancient system used by the Emperor Of China to visits his wives.
But… there’s also another problem that I encounter throughout the days of being a blogger.
Accidentally Found A Niche
Jul 24th
I was so encouraged by myself to use Blogger with custom domain where I plan to write about my findings in my hobby, tastycakeever. It was written in my post before this post. If you wish to read it to make the whole story crystal clear, you can visit the following link. 
Hyphened Domain Versus Other TLDs Domain (This link will open in new tab/window.)
But several days after that(today), I was having a casual conversation with my friend which is not an internet marketeer but more as ordinary internet end user. We are talking about tastycakeever and then he show me a video that was posted on YouTube about our topic. The video was interesting. But that’s not the important thing I want to tell you in this post.
As you know YouTube have two column, one for the video and the other smaller column is for related video and sometimes they put an advertisement by Google there.
Yes, the important findings that I want to share to you guys is about the advertisement that I see there!
For your information, Google Adsense(the advertisement provider) is the most advance in contextual advertisement where they only show relevant advertisement for that particular individual web page. So that’s mean the advertisement that I saw just now is VERY RELEVANT to tastycakeever!
Wow!
I yelled at the screen when I realize that. The hobby that I never thought to monetize is possible to be my next income stream.
Em… I have to cut this into two part, if you want to read more, please do because I don’t want everything appears on my homepage. I will share what I do next. Please do read the rest of this post to find out what happen.
Hyphened Domain Versus Other TLDs Domain
Jul 20th
It was in the morning.
It is always good to wake up in the morning and then have a good breakfast after your body have been fasting from food.
So after having my breakfast, sitting in the office all alone without nothing to do I was surfing the internet. Surfing about things that I like. My hobby. Newly discovered hobby.
Then while searching and reading about it in Wikipedia, something came cross my mind.
“Hey, why don’t I make a blog about my findings?”
So I was thinking and saying to myself.
“I always use a selfhosted WordPress to build my blogs, why don’t this time I try and use Blogger(blogspot) the free blog provider by Google.”
My Bahasa Melayu Hobby Blog Progress
Jul 16th
It seems that promoting a local blog especially when it’s not written in English is quite difficult because almost all SEO tactics and strategy that I know only accepts a website that is written in English.
By the way, this blog only depends on search engine only. I don’t do any back link campaign yet.
So far I was only using WordPress.com and Blogger.com to syndicate my content at other places. Oh, I forgot there’s also FeedBurner who is helping me out her.
Beside that I submit and verify this blog to Google, Yahoo, and Bing. While I manage to get my blog to page to at Google SERP for my targetted keyword, I was surprise to see that I ranked first page at Yahoo SERP with potition #2.
Well, it seems that Yahoo love this blog more than other search engine yet.
Wish me good luck, all the best to you all too.
Listing Out Today Achievements
Jul 6th
Well, time goes by and never come back. There’s no way for us to get back the time that have passed and we always heard people said “Time is money” but I barely able to agree with it because time is much more precious than money. By the way I am just trying to list out what I’m doing today to see how I use the time in these 24 hours.
First I wrote this post and then just leave it and I plan to update it throughout the day.
Then I manage to upgrade my blog WordPress Theme Studio to WordPress version 3.0 and play with
Upgrade To WordPress 3.0
Jul 5th
I just upgrade this blog to WordPress version 3.0. For all of you that still new to blogging arena, WordPress script is the most user friendly and complete solution for blogging. Beside, WordPress nowadays have changes so much that we can actually call it a Content Management System for blog.
Overall, I did not pay much attention to every updated version that WordPress released to public. I just want to let my self to use the best and the latest version of WordPress so there will be no security issue for my blog.
But in WordPress version 3.0 I found out that they have change the default WordPress theme into a new theme. Well, let’s say goodbye to kubrik then. Kubrik have been the default theme since I use WordPress on version 1.8 and now WordPress have gone through a serious major improvement that it now reach version 3.0
The interface and the default colour scheme for the administration page is almost like you’re using MAC. I’m not a big fan of MAC, in fact I never use MAC. I am a Windows fan boy and I program windows application, never for OSX. But the interface is clean and “easy to eye”. So congratulation to WordPress developer team for all the great works.
I will put their link on my blog roll since now.
WordPress 3.0
Starting A New Blog In Bahasa Melayu
Jul 4th
It’s been a while since my last post on this blog. My last post were about Setting Up Blog With Other Identity because I don’t want my competitor to know what I’m doing and I also do not want my real identity to be connected to that particular topic.
That project is progressing slow.
But at the same time, I am more focusing on making a new blog in my own national language, Bahasa Melayu. It’s been a long time since I want to write in my national language.
This blog doesn’t aim for money but more to interest and personal satisfaction.
Bad news do come sometimes in not the best time. Well, it’s a bad news, what do you expect anyway?
I stopped selling on ebay for awhile. This is because I lost my passion on it and ebay is not something that we can set and forget. We need to maintain it. Maintain a good communication with buyers, so that they don’t open a dispute when you did not answer their questions. Overall, it were a good experience managing an ebay store. Beside, it did contribute to my second largest online income. But money is not everything. I have something in mind which is more important to achieve as I want to concentrate more on my study now and only do the internet marketing part time.
A little bit about my study.
At first, I put my self to take the course for Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. But then I encounter a friend who have been graduated for years in this course and keep on complaining that he don’t have a good life. Everything is about work. Everything is about programming. Everything is about codes until he decide to quit for his job and now he is happy to work as just a tutor and also a bible teacher.
So I’m asking around what would be good? I end up changing from Computer Science to Civil and Construction Engineering. I was lucky because I can ask for an exemption for certain subjects and I did not need to repeat the whole course.
