Money Making Ideas

I’m a psychic and a lot of grey-hat guys will hate me for telling you this (read before you lose money)

by Britt Malka on May 10, 2012

Are you like a Pigeon ready to get plucked?

I’m a psychic…

I know that today, you’re likely to receive mails with one or more of the following subject lines:

“Wow… He Just Lost 22 Grand!”

“Some Guys Have The Worst Luck…”

“How To Protect Yourself From 99%+ Hacks”

“Are You Open Game For Hackers?”

“Home Insurance, Pet Insurance… Google Insurance?”

How do I know? By using scrying water? My cristal ball? Cutting open *Pigeons* and studying their liver?

Oh, I see more…

“2012: More Hacks Than Ever…”

“What if you lost everything?”

“Are You Open Game For Hackers?”

“[AWESOME] Easy Steps To Prevent 99%+ Hacks”

“It Could Happen To Anyone…”

The Hour of Truth Has Come – No, I’m not Psychic

I sometimes know which scratchcard to buy, but that’s about it.

The reason why I can foretell that you’ll probably receive mails today with the above mentioned subject lines is that a new product is launching today.

Curation Tips – What You Should Know about Curating Blog Posts

by Britt Malka on May 4, 2012

Curating blog posts

One of the latest buzzwords on the Internet is “curation”. When I first heard about it, I didn’t understand a thing about it. Then little by little, as I learnt more, it dawned on me:

Content curation is nothing new. It’s only the word, used in this connection, that is new. I laughed when I discovered that I’ve actually been doing curation since 2003, but back then it didn’t have a fancy name. My friends just – unrightfully – called me the “Copy & Paste Queen”!

Yeah, with friends like that you don’t need enemies

Mashable shares five awesome tips for great content curation in a blog post from a few days ago. The author of the blog post is no other than Steve Rosenbaum, the author of Curation Nation.

I fully agree with his tips, although I’m guilty of not following #2 as well as I should. This is a short resume of the five tips:

Kindle Book Covers – Two Easy Ways to Come Up With Your Kindle Book eCover

by Britt Malka on May 2, 2012

Publishing Kindle books is among the hottest money making ideas at the moment. It’s free and easy to publish book on Amazon, but if you want to sell them, you need a great eCover.

In this blog post, I will cover (lol, pun not intended) two ways to produce great, professionally looking Kindle book covers, without going to Fiverr.

In the first option, you simply click, write and drag your way to the cover. It probably cannot be any easier than that.

In the second option, you use either PhotoShop or Gimp and an awesome template. This is very easy, although not as simple as the first option, and you have more freedom in your choices.

For your convenience, I’ve tested both methods, and I did it for real, so to speak. My husband and I are both launching Kindle eBooks, so what better oportunity than to make our eCovers using these two methods?

Let’s get started.

The eBook Pinning Kindle Profits taught me a sneaky (yet honest and ethical) trick to make my Pinterest pictures go viral.

This is very handy to know, because if you pin a nice picture and hope to get some affiliate sales, or maybe you want to promote your Kindle book that way, if nobody sees your pin, or if nobody shares it, you know what?
