Coming Up With Profitable Blog Ideas

/in , /by

If you want to make money from blogging then it isn’t as easy as it might look. For a start, you will have to come up with a number of blog ideas. When I first started my journey to make money from blogging I realized that there were so many different niches out there that I was going to have a hard time finding one and sticking to it!

Getting Started

The most important thing when it comes to having a chance of making money online is having a solid plan that works – and sticking to it! I know all too well that it can be easy to get overwhelmed with ideas and not really find anything to stick to, therefore reducing your chances of any success.

The truth is that the reason so few people make a success from blogging is that they get overwhelmed. Is this is the case for you then don’t give up yet! You are most certainly not alone, and you can get out of that rut with a little help. I am not an expert, but I have been there and I have chosen to document my journey as a way of helping myself as much as anyone else.

I looked for a program online that could help me clear my mind and focus on what really matters – the good ideas that can make money! The program I use is the Niche Blogger. There are many similar ones out there, but I decided to use this one as there is a great community atmosphere and it doesn’t cost much at all to get started. It is designed for anyone to make money, and I love the ease of following the step by step instructions!

Profiting From Your Idea

Before I started the Niche Blogger program, I had many ideas and even a few blogs already set up. However, I didn’t realize how all over the place they were until I started following Amy’s detailed instructions.

I am a writer, so I love writing about topics that I enjoy and find interesting. I used this as the basis for my blog ideas, so that I would have the motivation I need to carry on and write many posts. I am now seeing my income go up each month, though I am putting my other ideas on hold for now to give me time to work properly on the current projects!

Good luck in any ideas you come up with!

I am a web career girl, earning money as a writer but looking for an alternative source of income through blog ideas. I’m no expert, but I share my individual experiences at http://www.webcareergirl.com to help you and me both learn how to be happy working online!

Strategic Coming up with – The Leadership Team

/in , /by

One in every of the first steps in developing a great strategic arrange is forming the leadership team. If you’re the leader in your specific part of the organization, you most likely have some subordinate leaders who you direct. You most likely additionally have some people who you consider to be trusted advisors. But have you really fashioned a team to assist you with the day-to-day leadership of the organization? Silly question  you say? Not really. I’ve found too several organizations in that the senior leader takes most, if not all of the leadership on him or herself. This not solely places too much of a burden on one person, however conjointly prevents the leader from taking full advantage of the expertise on the market in subordinate leaders.

For strategic planning, it’s essential to create a leadership team to ensure the design process has the complete advantage of expertise inside the organization. Though a sensible leadership team will build the everyday operation of the organization abundant smoother, I’ll think about the strategic coming up with process. This is where the team will extremely shine, and where they’ll develop a great synergistic relationship.

To develop a leadership team, the leader must initial select the members. I’ve found it best to use leaders at the next level under me. These are the lads and girls who you depend on to create the organization work and they’re those with the knowledge of each function among the organization. You may conjointly want to include some employees functions, though this can be strictly optional and extremely depends on the situation. For instance, you may decide the comptroller should be a member to confirm continuity.

I also like to incorporate my secretary for a couple of reasons. He or she can keep track of meeting minutes and administrative details. A lot of importantly though, senior secretaries are typically some of the most effective informed folks in an organization. They can most likely have insights that nobody else does. Use that knowledge.

How your leadership team interacts with you and every other could be a crucial issue in the success of your strategic coming up with efforts, and that is largely the results of your leadership style. You wish the team to be snug discussing things brazenly, and you want to encourage them to do so. You need to build it clear to them that their honest input is required so as to make the strategic coming up with method work. Actions speak louder than words though thus you must additionally demonstrate this. The best manner is to just accept all input at face value and encourage frank discussion among the team members without adding your own thoughts. This can be difficult, however as soon because the senior leader weighs in with an opinion, the discussion tends to stop.

I wish to use the technique, sometimes called silent brainstorming, where each member writes down some concepts or key points. Then the leader or meeting facilitator asks every member to inform the group one amongst their ideas. Each is written down at the front of the area with no discussion till everybody has exhausted their list. Discussion can then begin on the merits of each point. This tends to get rid of the individual from the equation and concentrate discussion on the point. The senior leader should encourage this discussion.
When completing a strategic set up, I’ve got found the best initial step for the leadership team is the mission statement. Creating a mission statement allows every team member to discuss their space of experience and how it fits in the larger picture. By the point the statement is complete, the leadership team has sometimes developed a good relationship between themselves and also the senior leader.

One amongst the benefits of using a fastidiously chosen leadership team to create the organization’s strategic plan is that the experience will facilitate to cement a great relationship among the leaders that can be an monumental benefit within the future. You’ll get a nice strategic set up and a dynamic team of leaders to implement that set up!

Pi Day is coming March 14! National Pi Day Celebrates Education and its Importance in All Our Lives

/in , /by


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 13, 2013

March 14 (3.14) is National Pi Day.

Why Pi? What is National Pi Day?

Beloved worldwide, pi is simply the irrational number π = 3.14… It is used to

calculate the circumference of a circle – any circle – among a multitude of other applications in math, physics, and engineering.

In 2009, the United States House of Representatives declared March 14 (3.14) to be

National Pi Day. They passed resolution HR 224 to celebrate the importance of math,

science, and education in our lives.

No longer reserved only for the geek culture, pi is fun, approachable, and entertaining. Learning the first 10 digits is, well, as easy as pi (3.141592653).

As an example, the letter count of each word below corresponds numerically to the first 10 digits in pi.

        Wow I made a short memorable pi string, could you?

         3 1 4    1     5         9         2     6        5     3

The team at piZone.org works to remind us that math and science are present in all of our everyday lives. All technology, from the wheel to the Smart Phone to GPS, utilizes physical laws that are described in terms of mathematics.

Through videos, online games, activities, demos, and events, piZone engages students, educators, and the public in the fun and importance of action learning as a means to inspire the next generation of scientists, researchers, doctors, educators, and techies who will spur new life-impacting innovation.

Beyond being just a number, pi can also be an expression of art, dance, music, and writing. When learning is informative, entertaining, and sensory, it encodes more efficiently and effectively into the participant’s brain. When learning is fun and engaging, it sparks curiosity and a desire to discover, explore, and question. The ability to think critically is essential to people living in our high-tech world.

pi activities and events:

The New San Francisco Exploratorium – soon to open in April 2013, the new Exploritorium provides students and the public with hands-on science fun that inspires and engages. This Pi Day look up! Pi in the Sky – an artistic skywriting event – will occur on Pi Day above the new Exploritorium building. Pi in the Sky, created by conceptual artist ISHKY, is a visual representation of pi – 100 digits of pi written in dot-matrix numbers by 5 airplanes in formation over the San Francisco Bay.    

SXSW Music Festival and Conference – The pizone.org team recently spoke at the educational arm of the South by Southwest Festival and Conference in Texas. To pass on the pi – pizone plans to inspire thought and engagement at the SXSW music festival with different pi sayings on 9 colored stickers, distributed to only 10% of the crowd, sparking curiosity in participants to seek out others to see what their stickers say. They are encouraged to share their fun via posts, tweets, images, and videos.

Bill Gates’ Big History Project – This project inspires our big picture thinking.    

pizone.org provides students and educators with fun math and science demos, games, and videos to inspire and engage on topics of math and science via pi (pie) recipes, an interactive sticker game, a contest, and songs such as the ABCs of Pi Song: a 6 year old sings 42 places in pi to the tune of the ABCs. It’s a sing-along.

All of these activities culminate in the question, “What can I do to support STEM education?” It starts with building awareness among the general public about the vital importance of funding education, with an eye on the future and its impact on all of us. Imagine our future if we don’t. Having a well-educated workforce utilizes technology to drive innovation, in turn creating better lives for us all. We all have a piece of this educational pi.

You’re invited to share the pi.
