  • .. it really drives me nuts

    Things that make me go “aargh!”, whether we talk business, personal life or travels. Sometimes, in order to avoid a perforated ulcer one needs to vent. You guessed, this is my place to do it. Feel free to join the madness.

    Microworkers.com – shitty freelancers, low quality jobs

    Two months ago, one of my members in a community I run mentioned you can make some good money by working on microworkers.com The site is based on a freelancing job platform, you can decide to do a “micro” job, then wait for the client to approve and pay. We talk SMALL jobs, of under 1 USD, most of 20 cents. Overall not a bad idea, if we have some very small tasks. So, I create an account there and start browsing through the jobs. Have done 2 small tasks (a registration and something more) and then started looking closer … Continue reading

    Let’s see how fast do Google react …

    I have just found 4 of my articles stolen by some guy named hazem mohammed zanaty from Blogger.com Have filled all the report information and now I am waiting to see what Google (they own blogger, don’t they?) does about this. All the 4 posts in the guy’s blog are mine. Am curious to see if Google actually does anything or I have to be even nastier. I just hate losers like this. If you’re stupid enough to not be able to fill that junk blog you got there with your content, do something else with your life. Don’t steal … Continue reading

    Make me a site similar to ebay.com with 10 dollars

    I asked about the best options regarding freelance sites in the previous article. I would like to thank the people who advised me by commenting or email. My own experience with some of these sites will be shared in a future article. Now, let’s moan a bit about the crazy requests some “clients” have on such sites. Few days ago I was reading an excellent freelance related article talking about the experienced writers frustration regarding the horrible pay some would get in such sites (elance, guru, RAC etc.) We are talking about quality content experienced writers, people who master the … Continue reading

    … tired

    I am tired … .. tired of trying to act like the big person in the family, when I am in fact the youngest .. .. of worrying about tomorrow .. .. seeing people roll their eyes when I walk my doggies of no breed at all. They dislike the idea of a dog that’s not from a champion dog or who’s just breathing near them .. .. having to explain everything and to everyone ..

    If you liked this post, buy me a beer.

    Is the world really thirsty? Are all the other revenue streams dead? Why do some end up begging? I noticed this “trick” on some blogs. Even few high profile blogs .. and it made me think. First reaction was “wow, this is a cool plugin”. The next one was … “but wait .. this looks like begging”. Do I want this on my site? NO NO NO 1. I am kinda sensitive to this issue in a way … I live in Romania. The main problem here is cause by SOME people who are not integrated in the society (or … Continue reading

    Want traffic? Write about Britney Spears

    Cannot really understand how is it still possible for the words “Britney Spears” to be still so much sought for. What is there to read? That she’s yet again in troubles? That her music career is over, family life messed up really bad? If you want some traffic, then by all means write about her. I started working on the music blog on lyrics and talk and had an article about this less talented than my dog chick. It doesn’t matter I write there about Pink Floyd, Yes, Rolling Stones etc. Nope .. the moment I wrote about her my … Continue reading

    Everyone and his dog is a specialist

    Don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of seeing so many auto-proclaimed “specialists”. We have people who do a 3 month course in God knows what topic and after they get that “diploma” they are already full of themselves and very certain they are the best in the world. All I see is “specialist” .. I enter a badly designed site just to see the webmaster is a known specialist in .. whatever you wish, ironically it’s connected to web design, even if the guy seems to not even know what an external css means. I get … Continue reading
