This is my 100-th entries, give me a clap.(clap..clap..clap) I was google-ing about ‘beta blogger beautiful template’ and discover the eye stunning template for your own use. The template look very professional, in fact I’m using some of them for my other blogs. Yeah, at least I won’t left behind by the super-duper beautiful wordpress template. The reason I use blogger instead of wordpress is, the interface of drag and drop when tweaking the look of the blog make me really convenient. I’m a third year degree student and don’t have much time to tweak all of them. Therefore, blogspot had helped me a lot in term of saving my time.

As this is my 100th entry, I would like to say my gratitude to anybody that supports me from behind, and I will say this sentence again when my posting achieve 200th. Good luck for myself!

This template entitle as ‘Agua‘..is it Ah Gua?(transexsual in chinese). The appearance look very neat and well structured. I love the splashing water header, look very professional. The link above the header quite invisible when I first time passed by the blog. Never mind, a bit of tweaking can make the link stand out from before.

Cajas - I’m not sure what is it meant for, but surely this template look web2.0! I stunned with it’s header, in which also functioned as tabbed links. To designer, you are doing an impressive job!

This template was named as Integral. The most attractive thing in this blog is the blue rounded header. Nowadays, rounded template become a trend among the bloggers. I see a lot of wordpress template that being produce under this kind of theme, but there are only limited choices for the blogspot users. At last, another rounded template for blogger..haish

Minyx - The tabbed links are really cool. When I’m hovering my mouse, the tabbed link will change into another color. This template suitable for anyone that prefer wider space for the entries.

This blog is specially designed for the artistic people. The combination of the colors are great and eye catching. But, the navigation looks quite weird from my own perspective. Well, this template entitle as Natural

P/s: You have any professional and beautiful blogger templates? Let’s share with us.

Since past three years I’m involving myself with making money online, eventually, there were a lot of up and down happens at me. At year 2005, when waiting for my entrance to MMU, I spent most of my time by reading all the tips, hint and tricks of people making money online. Then, at that time the most popular thing was affiliation, which was not working for me. I setup a website, www.businesstrue.com(don’t exist anymore) and hoping that someone will buy something from me. Well, that’s not working because at that time I don’t have any ideas on internet marketing. I still remember, the hype of reciprocal links was influenced all the internet marketers to exchange the links. Even me installing the reciprocal manager 3(I don’t remember who’s the creator), in fact I’m getting it for free(with the help from someone).

But, I’m really disappointed. I’m hoping that I’ll get a good PR for my damn ‘good’ website, but nothing change. Instead I’m sticking at PR3 for the whole year. But, the good thing with businesstrue.com was, my site was accepted to join the Google Adsense in which the account was still being used by me until now.

Then, after doing some research about Google Adsense, I’m realizing that ‘Content is The King’. Therefore, I’m creating another website, but this time I using the articledashboard script for developing my own article directory. The fact is, I spent around 3 days for tweaking all the layouts and hoping my adsense income will increase. Naah, nothing different compare to my traditional businesstrue.com. The site doesn’t contribute much, maybe due the high competition of articledashboard’s users. But, the site was given PR 4 from google..for me it’s ok laa

After a while, I start to learn the black hat strategies. This time, I get involve with ‘Made For Adsense’(MFA) sites. At that time, the tactic of building the websites was just a few clicks away. Maybe for some marketers, do you still remember the nichemonster by Keith Baxter? Yeah, it was so damn good at that time, I only have to search for the high-clicks keyword and generate it from a software. Then, I filtered some unnecessary keywords and pasted it on the nichemonster software. Since nichemonster was a web-application software, so, it was much easier than what you though. The server will automatically builds the 100+ pages of websites, scrape the relevant articles and more. Instead, someone had hired me to build 500+ websites, and I earned 30 for each, in which made myself being rich for a while.

In year 2006, JP-Schoffle had launched his great product, which we called it as Adsense Firesale. The script had a lot of feature, such as the articles were automatically rotated when being refresh. Instead, there were a lot of enhancements, such as pre-building boxes for the advertisement, contact form and more. When using the Adsense Firesale, I’m building around 400 websites and happily generating money. The marketing strategy also become much easier, I hired my brothers to do the pinging as well as submitting the sites to the social bookmarking services. The result was impressive, I’m gaining an enormous income for 3 months.

But, after Google had implemented the smart pricing, my income was fall down like hell. At that time, I was discouraged and feeling like to forget the internet world.

Since then, I realized that I should change my style on making money. Therefore, I’m entering the blogging world and hope that I’ll earn more in future.

As usual, I spent my leisure time by youtube-ing to find some interesting videos. Cinta Hello Kitty, the song title was really unique because in Malaysia we hardly to find such a cute song title. In fact, this is my first time for me to hear such a special title. Without hesitated, I play the song and listen to her song. I was stunned, her voice was really beautiful. The way that she sang also didn’t have any chinese slang. The lyric was really simple, but make me heart throbbed. I think she can be more success as she has a full package of a singer, beautifulness and great voice.

‘Eyh, wo hao shiang you kan guo ta, dan shi wang ji liao leyh’ I’m asking Ming
(I was wondering that I had watched this girl before, but cannot remember very well.)

Then, I do some search about her and found out that she was a singer for the Granado Espada MTV clip. Yeah, last time I was invited to play the Beta release of Grandano Espada. I received the CD and it’s contain the installation file as well as the MTV clip. Therefore, for me, it’s like a deja vu! How could I can’t recognised her when watching the Cinta Hello Kitty video clip..so, paisehh !!

Here are some screenshots from Granado Espada MTV clip.

P/s: Again, I fall in love on her..

Suddenly, at 3.54am I’m getting bored to wait for my Sahur. Since this is the first day of our fasting month, I don’t get any sleep as I fear that I’ll be skipping my breakfast. So, I’m thinking that better I fill up my leisure time with something useful, just as my title given above.

I want to ask you something, as a blogger, what are the things that you do before creating a content? Yeah, I admit that to find a suitable content that suit my readers is taking a lot of brainstorming. So, finding an idea of creating the content is quite easy if you use some simple steps just as mine.

5 Steps of Getting An Idea for Content

1. I’m usually Youtube-ing for any kind of jokes video, prank show and anything that would make me laugh. So, I’ll make a posting on that video and will give an opinion or a review for it. Apparently, this is the easiest way for creating a content for your blog. But, you must not practicing this step so much because the readers might find that you’re making fool of them. I mean, just in order to make your blog is updated, you frequently using youtube as a medium of your storyline,which is make your readers getting bored with your blog and you’re losing them instantly….click Expand
2. Technorati is one of my indicator when doing a posting. Basically, I’m using the Technorati for the sake of getting more unique visitors. I’ll look thoroughly some useful keywords that are popular and always being search by the people. After that, I’ll doing a research on Google Trend as well as Digg so that I can relate the idea of content that captivate the reader’s attention in my own perspective.
3. Do you use the Google Readers as your Rss readers? I’m found out that this tool is a necessity when doing a posting. Since thousand of blogs are being updated daily, so it is almost impossible for me to keep myself update by visiting each of the blog. Therefore, Google Readers had helped me a lot, in terms of keeping me update with the current news and hot stories. I have subscribed to over 50 Rss feeds such as JohnChow, JohnTP and more. So, by keep myself update, I always get an idea on what topics that I’ll be covered later.
4. Each day, I’m visiting more than 30 personal websites in order to know, to feel and to give a feedback on any topics they are posted about. I’ll spend around 2 hours for surfing and commenting. By implementing this habits, actually you’re doing some critical thinking on a certain topics which is making your brain works. I found out there are some good bloggers that are sharing their ideas in more effective way, such as Khai
5. Personally, the fact that I’m having a digital camera is to record all things that happen around me. I love to take any pictures which I find useful for my content. Sometime, I do take any unrelated pictures eg: Lao Ah Pek drinking a cup of coffee, My friends playing the guitars and etc. Then, I’ll blogging and describe about them in my own ways. For example, I’m making a comic strips by using the pictures, but it do take a hard work since I’ve to make the pictures in sequence.

I hope that anybody that feel want to share the tips on creating the content, can leave a comment here. ‘Sharing is Caring’
