An Awesome Experience with Wikinut

Image by strovek via Flickr

At the start of December 2011, my goal was to publish at least 200 articles at Wikinut before the end of this year. I worked hard to complete my promise. Here I learned a lesson – that when a promise is made problem will follow. And that problem will measure how far I could keep my promise.

The first two weeks of December this year, I did not write continuously for Wikinut due to of my job that need my immediate concentration. First time I had experienced to work with Inventory. And I learned that inventory of available goods is done yearly during the month of December. From that event I learned how to determine Cost of Beginning Inventory at the start of the period + inventory purchases within the period + cost of production within the period = cost of goods available and the Cost of goods available − cost of ending inventory at the end of the period = cost of goods sold.

From July 28, 2010 to December 23, 2011, I published so far to 199 articles under the different categories such as writing, writing tips, travel, personal experience, business, personal finance, short story, true story, news, celebrities, humor, math and numbers, blog and blogging and many more. 

These articles of 199 garnered at least 158,083 views with total earnings of 7.910 sterling pounds. And I already referred people at least 34 new Wikinut users/writers.

So far there are two payments made by Wikinut to me. First payment was made on March 8, 2011 amounting to 2.99 sterling pounds. The latest payment I received was on December 8, 2011 amounting to 3.55 sterling pounds. The total sum is 6.54 sterling pounds. Pay-pal received those payments and made some deductions amounting to 0.66 sterling pounds. So the total official payments on Pay-pal’s records is amounting to 5.88 sterling pounds.

During the month of October 2011 the following dates have attract traffics and views and I even considered them not normal:

• October 9, 2011 – total views has reached so far to 2,429
• October 18, 2011 – total views recorded has reached to 1,788
• October 19, 2011 – total views has reached to 1,799
• October 23, 2011 – the total views received were 1,121
• October 26, 2011 – the total views has reached to 1,218

Out of 199 articles I published there some of them are articles about how to attract traffics and views through social networks, book marking sites, search engines and other methods such as:

• Maximize The Use of StumbleUpon for Articles Sharing
• Eight Ways to Attract Crawlers and Readers
• Delicious for Storing, Sharing and Discovering Web Bookmarks
• Ways to Promote Old Published Articles: Ten Neglected Virtues
• IMAutomator Promotes Sites and Articles Free

• Maximize Your Use Of Facebook
• One Push of a Button, Our Articles can Reach to Thousands of People as Fast as Lightning
• Ways to Get Views and Increase Wikinut Points

They are effective and very helpful for my online writing activities.

Values of Networking

It said that Networking is really a business school that teaches values not found in traditional business schools. Values such as the best way is to teach yourself and other people to become business owners than teach them to be a loyal employee working for the rich and big companies. Networking is a place for people who want to learn the real world skills of an entrepreneur, rather than the skills of an employee who wants to become a highly paid mid-level manager in the corporate world.

From reading the book of Robert T. Kiyosaki "The Business School For People Who Like Helping People", I learned that in Networking there are values that if adapted and applied to ourselves, they can help outline a better tomorrow.

In his book, he highlighted the Eleven Values such as:

• In Networking has True Equal Opportunity.
• Has a Life-Changing Business Education.
• There are Friends Who Will Pull You Up.
• To Learn to Value of a Network.
• It Helps Develop Your Most Important Business Skills.
• The Value of Leadership.
• The Value of Not Working for Money.
• To Live with Your Dreams and Make Them Come True.
• The Value of Marriage and Business
• The Value of Family that Work Together with The Same Goal.
• And the Value of How You can Lower Your Annual Taxes Legally.

Robert T. Kiyosaki also emphasized the beauty of Networking. He said, “One of the beauties of networking is that it gives you the opportunity to face your fears, deal with your fears, overcome your fears and let the winner in you win.”

In the world of Networking, you are encouraged to learn by making mistakes, correcting them and getting smarter mentally as well as emotionally.

Robert T. Kiyosaki Inspires Millions of People

Robert T. Kiyosaki has two great teachers: his real father taught him “how to work for money” while his Rich Dad taught him “how money will work for him.”

His biography tells that Robert T. Kiyosaki was born and raised in Hawaii. He is a fourth-generation Japanese-American. After he graduated from college in New York, he joined the Marine Corps and served in Vietnam as an officer and a helicopter gunship pilot. Following the war, Robert worked for the Xerox Corporation in sales. In 1977, he started a company that brought the first nylon Velcro surfer wallets to market.

Robert T. Kiyosaki with his wife Kim Kiyosaki and friend Sharon Lechter embarked on a journey that would afford them the opportunity to blow the financial literacy of people everywhere and to every corner of the world.

In 1985, he founded an international education company that taught business and investing to tens of thousands of students throughout the world. In 1994, Robert T. Kiyosaki sold his business and retired at the age of 47. During his short-lived retirement, Robert, in collaboration with his co-author and business partner, Sharon L.

He said, “We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them. Then that they can enjoy the luxuries of this great world we live in.”

How Effective is Triond Detector Tool to Spot Duplicate Contents

Image by Blogue Techno via Flickr

I am impressed for knowing that Triond’s detector tool to spotting duplicate contents could not really distinguish the difference between original and duplicate contents.

Yesterday, I wrote an article entitled Factoidz Changes Its Policy to Attract More Writers. The said article was intended first for Triond because I know Triond will reject duplicated items. When I finished polishing the article, I immediately submitted it to Triond for consideration and approval but what surprised me, the article was rejected. Their reasons – they spotted it as duplicate contents. How could it be? I originally wrote the article and I had not yet offered it to other paying sites.

So, I checked out the draft of the article saved on my computer desktop and started investigating the whole piece. In the article contents, I included some links of my previous published articles at Triond with some short justifications especially about my previous short review about Factoidz that was published last February 2011. But the contents of those links were differently written compared to my latest article that the site has rejected.

Of course, I honestly telling you that I felt disappointed simply because it is been a long time, I am writing with the site and that I really had that thought believing that Triond has all the capacity and power to see thoroughly the difference between original and duplicated contents. Now to compensate my hard works writing the article, I offered it to ExpertColumn and Wikinut after I made some light revisions on the titles and summaries.

Factoidz Strives to Promote an Active Community

Image by stevendepolo via Flickr

Yesterday I received an alert from Factoidz stating that they had updated their policy which previously stated that in order to keep current; a Factoidz writer has to publish at least one new article each year.

They said, "Now, all accounts will remain fully active without any time restrictions or requirements on activity. Publish once, and provided you stay within our guidelines, you'll receive earnings for that work in perpetuity. Plus, you can come back and publish anytime you'd like without needing to reinstate your account."

The site strives to promote an active community while providing a very easy way to earn passive income - and they think this new approach will brings them more in line with this goal.

They further said, "As a Reviewer, you'll have admin abilities to manage the testimonials that appear on your reviews. We've also given you a link on your Dashboard to go back and quickly rate the services you've reviewed in the past."

In other news, the site has just launched user ratings and reviews as a part of their editorial Product Reviews system. Now, in addition to reading the written review that a writer has provided, readers can add their own 5-star rating to products and services a writer covers, as well as submit their own testimonials. The site thinks that this will add a new dimension to reviews to make them more useful to potential customers.

Some of Riyadh Treks to Spend Your Weekends and Holidays

Image via Wikipedia

In Riyadh there are places outside the city which are good places for excursions like the Hidden Valley, the Red Sand Dunes and Mountain Rocks for your mountain climbing.

In my first week of work in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – one thing that came to my mind was to take some trips outside the city. I wanted to visit some of the historical places, including mountains of rock and mountains of sand dunes, which are good places for excursions on weekends and holidays.

Visit to watch My Travel Trip Album

It was a Friday. With my peers, we visited on some of Riyadh’s treks. First was a trip to Hidden Valley.  At five-thirty in the morning, we started our trip as no-one wants to drive under the sun.

On our way to Hidden Valley , I saw mountain of rocks standing robustly on each side of the highway. I heard the sound of winds haunting, and whispering in every corner of the mountain – calling them that the King Sun was about to rise.

Facing to the South was another spot of great beauty delighted my eyes, a red mountain of sand dunes that resembled a maiden in red, lying down with the mountain rocks at her sides and waiting for someone to come and feel her beauty.

At seven, we reached our destination, by passing through an isolated pass between high fortresses – like rock in the Tuwaiq wall. Our cars rumbled up and down with the shrubs to right, left and white dust. As we drove up the soil – covered path of the Valley between piles of gravel, was a Pinnacle Valley that called because of the pillar of rock that stands near the entrance. We stopped driving when the track got rough.

Soon, everybody left the car and went around to the area and embraced the beauty of nature. We photographed the mountains around us as our souvenirs. We also went for a hike, did some mountain climbing and had a lot of fun together.

What a wonderful place to see! I was surprisingly amazed to see such beauty that only nature can provide. Hidden Valley can easily charm you and let you believe that this place is not just a desert of sands but also a place of beautiful rocks and mountains ready to be embraced and enjoy. Most amazing of all was the absence of running water, to bathe her for added beauty. A completely dry valley but yet a surprisingly beautiful one!
