Hi all, how are you? I’m fine and busy with work. I now work as a project manager, had to do screen casting for my other blog, responding to client emails, talking on skype and working everyday building my bigger project. Now after all this I’m constantly getting emails, IM’s and comment from a group of wannabe Bangladeshi readers who want to earn money online, yeah and they want to know the easy way!!
Well I delete these emails, block these people on the IM, so I can focus on my work; but these days I’m getting so much of these emails.. asking me how do I make money online and they want my contact number. It’s not a new thing, I’m used to it for the last 3 years.
So please let me tell you that I DON’T HAVE A NUMBER! as I don’t like mobile phone, it annoys me a lot!! There’s a couple of cell phones in my house but I don’t like having one, if there’s so much emergency of talking with someone through phone, I borrow a cell phone from the house and use it. Now that fact is, why would you need my cell phone number and why you want to hear from me? I have covered so much aspect on my blog about money making and this way I don’t have to give one on one consultation. There are so many resources out there which will help you get even better information than BlogKori.
I’m not a so called moody personality, the people who know me personally, will know this; I have no problem spending hours in IM or skype or email to help you on something and I keep myself busy doing it. But that fact is, you are not reading, you just got a hint that it’s possible to be something big online and want to know the SECRETS! there’s no secret at all, you just have to follow the steps and you can know even better than a regular one on one session.
You have seen me being a success online, but you haven’t seen me working harder, all those late nights, the sacrifices I made and the taste of failure. You email me wanting to know which is the easiest way to earn money online? No, there’s no easy way, and if you don’t want to go through the hard way, try something else.
Another question I get asked everytime: How do I load my Payoneer Debit mastercard? well I have covered this thing before, incase you missed it! But more and more people getting the mastercard without even working at the vendor website. You can load the money by working at the site you joined and then you can use your card.. but if you had got the card just for the sake of some cheap showoff, then that means you are doing a bad thing. Payoneer is giving you the card for free and will charge you after you earn money, but just because you have ordered this card and misusing their services, soon payoneer will be more strict on this. What’s the point of having this valuable card, if you don’t make money from the original vendor?
Best of success

Blogging is the best social media tool for internet marketers, more than any ads or social media networks -I know that because I’m doing it for years and have recently started a new blog on Thesis Theme. When you are trying to sell your service, then the best way to rise up on google is by blogging and blogging interesting stuff. I love this tool I came across recently called BlogBuzzer which is a Ping Your Blog tool. Now first I thought it’s another Ping-o-matic like service but what really made me obsessed with it is, that there’s so many features on this pinging tool. You can ping to so many search engines & news sites at once and currently it supports 5 language.
As a busy blogger, (yeah, I have 3 blogs now, including a personal one) I find it hard to ping each time I post, so there’s another paid feature that lets you ping automatically. Since then I’ve seen a significant improvement on my search engine rankings and traffic. Even better, I got my new blog ThesisThemeDesign got indexed on google and appearing on higher for keywords I’m targeting. So I went deep down and asked a few questions to the creator of Blog Buzzer. Brandon is an IT director and web designer, currently living in Livermore, California.
#1 What is BlogBuzzer and what does it do?
BlogBuzzer is a free web-based service that allows authors of blogs to submit or “ping” their blogs to the most popular blog directories and search engines.
#2 How does BlogBuzzer help bloggers to get more search engine traffic?
BlogBuzzer helps bloggers to get more traffic and search engine visibility by pinging search sites with information about the blog. When a blog is pinged by BlogBuzzer both the name of the blog and the web address of the blog is sent to over 60 top search sites, once the ping is received by a site it will be processed and the entire blog will be added to the list of blogs in their directory.
#3 What’s the difference/benefits of auto and manual pings?
Traditionally blogs have to be pinged manually which means going to each blog directory or search engine, filling out your information, and then submit your blog. Automatic pinging through BlogBuzzer takes the work out of submitting your blog and allows you to spend more time writing.
#4 Does your service help new posts to get more links?
Blogs can be pinged whenever a new post is made in order for all of the newest entries to be included in the search engines. Whenever a new post is seen by the search engines it is usually included in search results. BlogBuzzer does have a premium subscription which automatically checks blogs hourly to see if new posts have been made and if so it pings them.
#5 Tell me more about the upcoming features of BlogBuzzer
BlogBuzzer has already surpassed 90,000 blogs pinged and looks forward to providing more free and useful tools to blog authors in the future. A big problem with other blog pinging sites is the misuse and abuse of blog submissions which cause the blog directories and search engines to become overwhelmed. BlogBuzzer has teamed up with the Splog Project in order to help prevent ping abuse which will allow blog authors to be sure of continued service and reliability. BlogBuzzer does offer ping services in 5 different languages and is working to add more as well as smart detection of blog origin and target audience.
—————- end —————-
Now one great feature I loved about this service is they tweet each ping from their twitter account -that’s one great SEO optimization. As a busy dude I love the paid membership because it auto pings my blog when I update; it’s only $9 a year and worth the money! Go and try out Blog Buzzer!
Last night I found an old notepad from 2008, this used to be my hub for ideas, strategies about new posts and how to bring up new things. I believe my success in building a content rich blog, building a brand lays on these pages.
This was the base idea for my first blog.

This is when I started BlogKori, that’s blog-success (tamalanwar dot com) and blogkori.
Getting advertisers for blog-success
BlogKori trying to get advertisers out of blog-success
blog-success having some readers and blogkori getting jealous of it.
My first approach was to get readers from blog-success to blogkori
Until BlogKori started to grow fast and blog-success was no match to be able to compete!

I’m a freelance web designer and I do web designing for companies and individuals. At start (on June 2009) I started off doing it from odesk and it’s a great platform for freelancers like us to get started and find work. Now days I get offers directly through email and my new clients are being referred by my older clients. I still receive emails, messages and question asking how do I get started in freelancing? So here’s an article which will help you prepare yourself to get started on freelancing online.
1 Have a good schedule
It’s up to you whenever you want to do the work, but you have to come up with a regular time and schedule; such as you will work from Monday to Friday, that’s cool or you can also choose to work only in Saturday and Sundays. At the same time you have to come up with working hours too. Your clients who will provide the work, they have to understand about your working hours so they can be able to find you in that time.
2 Have your tools ready!
Working online requires a computer and internet connection. Make sure you have a good computer, compatible enough to handle your work load. If you are doing data entry/ virtual assistant jobs, then having a minimal PC is okay but if you are doing web/ graphics design or photo editing, then you have to buy and expensive one. You have to need 24 hours or internet access or at-least when your working hours are.
3 Softwares for your job
Depending on your work, choose the most appropriate softwares you need. You only need a word processor when you are dealing with writing. As a web designer I use plenty of applications such as photo editor, web design software, flash application and many more online. You have to make sure you have access, plus knowledge over what application you are using and it’s a popular one.
4 Find a good outsourcing marketplace
As a beginner, nobody knows about your skills and what you can do so it’s best to get associated with one of the marketplaces you like. I highly recommend odesk, and it has given me a carrier. There are plenty more out there like Guru, RentACoder, ScriptLance, Elance etc but make sure you focus on one marketplace than having your face on all of them. I had success in odesk just because I was into it until I got my first job and never lost hope.
5 Build an online portfolio
Nothing works best than having an online portfolio; take a look at my portfolio here: blogkori.com/hire-me now the idea came to me when most of my clients wanted to see my portfolio. I have portfolio in odesk but the problem is nothing is organized properly. So when I created a portfolio here at my blog, I started to get more clients over time. Even great, I had this portfolio rank well in google for “Thesis Theme Design” and having a google page rank of 3. People started to find my portfolio through google. You should create your own portfolio by building a website/ blog.. trust me, it will pay off!
6 Socialize yourself
Don’t just sit there and spend all the time working on projects. Use facebook to expand your network. The more contacts you have, then more the chances you will get for future projects. I’m using facebook from 2007 and that time I connected with few different people online including Courtney Engle. We are great friends and always chat about things here and there. Last year she hired me to help in her social media business and that’s a great example of getting work from social media. Till now I’m connected with her and more work is about to come from her side. As the same way you can use linkedin, twitter and other social media networks.
7 Have most ways to connect with you
You need to have the most ways to get connected such as email, yahoo messenger, google talk, msn, irc, icq etc. Skype is the most popular among buyers around the world and it helps you to make free pc to pc calls. The more options you provide, the more chances you have to get a job.
8 Start a blog
There’s no such social media better than blogging. The number one benefit to blogging is, it’s super SEO friendy. Write your experiences, how you achieved different things and how you solved a problem. People will start to read your blog and soon they will convert into buyers. Start blogging.
9 Learn new skills and stay updated
Internet changes everyday and so does the job market. Don’t just stay there with you basic word processing knowledge. Learn new things and apply them. The more you learn, the more you are valuable as a provider. Stay updated with latest trends and technology.
10 Be detail oriented and professional
What ever you do, try to see it as the buyer -if you were the one taking this, would you like this finished product? Be detail oriented and perfectionist. It will take more time to complete but is worth the time. One of my client Mark Wright helped me to learn this valuable lesson. One of my other client said: “People who provide much more detail, get paid more.”
Bonus! Be helpful and give something they didn’t expected
Even if you have completed the assignment, your buyer may still need some last minute tweaks. Be helpful to provide the service free of charge. And try to solve their problem. Don’t act like that you have a hurry and need to end the assignment, ask them if there’s anything more you can help them out with. In this way, you will have a good reputation and it will help you get more work in the long term.
Have your say
- Are you working as a freelancer?
- How do you handle your clients?
- Do you have anything more to add here?
Hi friends, how’s going? I’ve been busy putting up my new site (you should know if you are following my social updates!) and this is called ThesisThemeDesign.Net which is completely focused on the Wordpress Thesis Theme Tutorials. I’m working on thesis for a long time and wanting to write tutorials on this topic, but blogkori is not about this niche so decided to have a whole new site up and running!!
I see there’s so many resources out there about the Thesis Theme, so I decided to create a new site from a new aspect. I will be writing tips, tutorials and resources on the thesis theme, but what really great about this site is: I will be posting more and more screen-casts (video) which will be hosted on ThDesign’s YouTube Channel. By the time I’m writing this post, I have recorded 2 video tutorials and one of them is up and running!
One of my friend asked me create video contents on my new blog. I do feel like there are way many resources out there about thesis but not too many videos. One of my client once said me that he likes to see vids and don’t like to read complicated tutorials.
So there you have a new blog to read, Now please help me by reading, subscribing and adding the link on your sidebar.
