Get free Domain

I wrote about this previously about me not sticking to one thing and jumping around at lots of stuff. Regardless of how much I try I am not able to control this habit. Hopefully I may stick to something someday.

For now I have decided I will not try too much to stop myself , rather I will try to stick to few thing for a limited time of the day and do my jumping stuff ;) as usual for the rest.

I have decided to stick with 2 projects at the moment. First is Get free Domain and second is Coupon India. I think these 2 projects have lot more potential then the other projects.

With Get free Domain I am trying to help fellow webmasters and bloggers who are trying to make their mark in this online world but are bit tight at budget.

I have gone through same situation where I was not able to buy a domain name and premium web hosting and tried to make few website with some free web hosting and sub domains provided by them. I worked hard on those websites and it all wasted because people do not consider website on sub domains reliable. So I had to shut them down.

I wan't to help people with same situation in getting premium top level domains like .com , .net , .org for free. Now actually free but they won't have to spend money from their own pocket to get these domains.

My second project Coupon India says all in its name. This website is about sharing discount, promo, coupon codes for all the major online stores in India.

I hope both of these project will grow with time.

Buy Harry Potter Books in India

Like me if you are big fan of Harry Potter series then you can buy these books in India from flipkart.

I remember I read all the 7 volumes of Harry Potter on my mobile phone. I somehow got hold of these books on internet and converted them into prc format and read first 6 books on my Nokia Ngage QD mobile phone with the help of mobipocket reader. Last book I read on my Nokia N72 mobile phone with same setup. Screens on those phones were really small, especially when I compare them with my HTC flyer tablet screen. Reading on tablet is really a bliss now.

Lets get back to the Harry Potter book stuff. I have read all the books but still I ordered them from Flipkart to keep them in my collection. I don't know whether I will ever read them again or not but still I want to keep them.

I strongly recommend buying these books as they are going to remind you of these magical days in upcoming boring future. Have a look at the link below.

What! I am selling!

I got this great surprise today while checking the stats on different sites. I am selling products from Flipkart as well as linkshare. I wrote some posts here and there and placed my affiliate links in them and forgot about them. Now these posts are somehow started ranking in the search engines and getting some nice traffic. The traffic coming is also good and is converting. I believe I need to start writing these kind of posts with affiliate link in then. Some may get traffic and I may start making more money. I won't mind that :)

Its all about connecting and helping

I was thinking about why some people make more money with very few customers while other make very little with many.

It all comes down to making good connections with people and helping them what they want to achieve. If you can take them with their hand and get them where they want to be then they will pay you whatever you want.

Want an example?

Look at google. What are they actually doing for all these years. They are connecting people to what they are searching for. They are helping them and in return people are going back to them again and again. Right!

Whenever someone need to do something new they are totally. In early days when there was no internet they use to go to person who can connect them to the right guy. Now this is done by internet.

Whenever someone need something they switch-on their computer or pull out their smartphone/ipad/tablet go to their favourite search engine and try to find out the right place or person. If they already know someone who can help them then they don’t go to search engine, rather they go to that person and ask for help. Now that person has this opportunity to make money by helping. He can either directly charge for helping or give that person a affiliate link through which he can earn commission. You can be this middle man.

Need to think about making more connections and helping even more.

Procrastination: My Biggest Enemy

I think of doing things that are wonderful. I make the whole plan and when it comes to do those I procrastinate. I think I will do this at that time or later and the things get stuck. When I think about them again they doesn’t feel so much exciting. That result in things never get done.

I know its bad, very bad.

I need to get out of this habit and only way I can handle this is by starting at the moment I think something needs to be done.

Today I did one. I thought of writing a post on rajeevverma.com and a post is live there

Feels good.

Going back to basics

I like to learn but making money is as important as well. I have been learning for long time and I do believe I can learn a lot more but one thing to remind myself I need to make money with what I have learnt. If I fail to do that then their is no use of what I have learnt. I know a lot of people who were genius who learnt more than what average people can think of but they never made a mark because they never tried to use what they learnt. They are considered failures and no one remembers them. I don't want to live or die like that.I need to put it work.

Free is Good

Success of any business depends upon the ability of that business to give away free stuff. Business needs to make their value in front of customer before they can sell anything to its customers.
Think about it, how many times you have purchased anything from a company you know nothing about. Those who succeeded in selling to you either they tried to make themselves familiar by advertising or they have tried to  lure you with free stuff. Soap free with shampoo, shampoo free with lotion or something like that.
Free is actually premium. You give them free stuff and you buy trust. And later whenever you want to sell them something they will buy.

Developing for Android Tablet

I wrote about learning to build android applications and as I now own an android tablet I have started to learn about optimizing the application for tablet as well.
I think the basic idea is same for the apps but the interface which we design for phones doesn't look good on tablet at all. I ran a few apps on my HTC Flyer tablet which have interfaces built only for phones and I must say it sucks. Everyone with an application on android market should get an interface update for tablets as the tablet market share is increasing and you may loose a large percentage of user by not having a properly optimized tablet interface.
Designing interfaces for tablet is much more interesting than designing for phones as you have more space to use and you get freedom to place components your own way.
Will keep you updated about my progress.

Day 2 with HTC flyer

I recently purchased HTC flyer and got it delivered yesterday. I had this concern about the battery life of the tablet but I think it has worked great for the day. I used it for around 7 hours with WiFi on, surfing the web, video playing, paying games but the battery worked well.  The indicators show that most of the power is consumed by display and little bit each by other services like WiFi, sound etc. I like to keep my brightness settings to lowest and this tablet still shows bright dispay. I will try to find a solution to lower the brightness even further.
It is said that battery needs to be charged and discharged fully before it gains its full potential. I will keep you updated about this (actually I want to keep record for myself and you don't need to read it.
And with this post I kept my resolution for 4th day. See you tommorrow.
