Microblog Poster - Automatically publish your new blog post to social metworks

I am a great fan of posting my new blog post on social media. This allows me to tell my followers that I have a new post and they should check it out. The ones that I use all the time is Facebook (including Facebook groups and pages), LinkedIn, Google Plus, Twitter, Pinterest, Plurk and a couple of others. If you are using WordPress then you are in luck. Look what I found? Here's a cool plugin to autopost your blog post on various social media sites as soon as you publish your post. You do have to configure each social media account! Basically the plugin updates your social accounts. Good thing about this is that, multiple accounts per social site is also supported. This is great a feature if you ask me.

Automatically publishes your new blog content to Social Networks. Auto-updates Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Tumblr, Diigo, Delicious..

So what's supported by the plugin

twitter.com - Auto tweet backlink of new blogpost.
facebook.com - Auto publish to profile wall.

Ask donations from your readers

One way to earn a bit of extra cash is to ask your readers to give you some money for coffee. I know people don’t just give anyone money but if you have a great site with lots of free information than you’ll be surprised how many people would be willing to give you money just like that.

PostJoint review

If you are one of those bloggers who are considering joining Postjoint then think again. You might be sleepwalking into a Google Penalty. Google clearly states that you shouldn't be accepting money for links. These people over at PostJoint are claiming that guest posts and paid or sponsored posts are two different things but in reality, they are the same thing – just the terminology is different. Google clearly states that talking money for links is not acceptable to them. Unless you don’t care about traffic from Google then it might be OK to join this site.

How Social Signals Impact Search Engine Rankings

Social media is becoming more and more important on the way search engines work. Matt Cutts may deny it but evidence is suggesting that social media signals are making an impact on search engine results. Just look at this infographic and decide for yourself.

Stay away from the 419 scam

The 419 scam is so called because it refers to the "Nigerian Criminal Code" that prohibits cheating and dealing with fraud in Nigeria and other countries in Africa that promises a large amount of money such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting from a bank account etc. 

Most people receive emails from people claiming to be bankers and how they have money to give to you. They claim to know you however they really don't know you at all.

Another book added to the online business

Those who have been following me would know that I have been publishing books on Amazon both in kindle and paperback formats. You can find my books on my Amazon author page.

Making money from Amazon is not a new thing, many bloggers are taking to writing ebooks as part of their online business. In fact, writing ebooks has become an industry on its own and many are trying their luck. But in order to be successful in selling books on Amazon, it takes a lot of hard work.

First there are too many books out there in a given topic and buyers are spoilt for choice. In fact, there are so many of these books that the buyers don't know which one to buy. If you want to stand out from the rest of the other sellers, you must write outstanding books otherwise your books will be lost in complete obscurity in the Amazon.com jungle.
