Being a “high profile” person

I feel that i am always being “buried”. Just recently, i found out that there’s a need to build up your reputation if you want to get business deals and even you want to have more friends or success. Being a low profile guy won’t do you any good in future, that what i realised. In the past, i thought that by staying in a “low profile” form, i could have the same trust, i could got the same opportunities as others, but over the years, i am wrong. Frankly speaking, deep in my heart, i always admire those people who have good looks, good appearance because they are by in default, “high profile”. Normally, they don’t need to make friends or have opportunities, those just come to them naturally.

I am that kind of person whom just wanted to complete things silently on my own, putting in my finest effort ( a slient worker). But this kind of attitude that i have is not going to bring me towards my dream, in fact, it impeding my progress. I really do not know how to define trust and ability? Here’s two of the many scenarios that i faced.

1) There’s one guy who is a straight A’s student in the past but however he is kind of cocky (Strangely, he have alot of friends and words he said have “impact”). This happen in a scenario where it’s just a few hours before examination. Someone was discussing about some questions before examination and asked some questions regarding a subject. The straight A’s student wasn’t really right in explaining that questions, he was wrong. Well, i was there too and i tried to correct the mistake that he made. But however, no one listened to me, they doubted me. Just because i am not as good as that guy, my words have no influence at all. I know i am right, but i failed to convince people around me. This type of incident happens regularly to me. i don’t know why people can’t just believe in me. That is why i feel very inspired when people tend to ask me for question and advice. And normally, i would my best to help them and teach them all i know,  if i know the solution.

2) Here’s another one. This happen when i was in some sort of community and we are doing some proposal work. As usual, i was a low profile guy but however i did my part as a member. Here comes to the part where i tried to offer my help in some report using microsoft word. I have experience in microsoft word for years and have been using it since i was in middle school. Ok, this guy was trying to insert a report header in the document and he was doing it wrong. He just copy and paste in every page of the document. I saw that mistake and i tried to explain to him. Then he said, “You know, our senior told us to do this, we need to insert header in the report every page, just don’t bother me, you are just a helper”. So i just smiled and walk away. Ok, if that’s the way you want, fine with me. That is the reason why i quit that community later on. Community with that kind of project leaders isn’t worth it for me to serve.

All this happened because i do not have the reputation and influence over others. Just like being as an employee in a company, opportunties are always given to those “high profile” people even though you are more skilled. Actually, this is my bad and i failed to realise it till then. Just like starting a website, if you do not advertise it, people wont know it’s existence. Same thing applies, if you have the skills but no one know your real skills, what is the use? When doing business such as buying web hosting, even though i can offer the same package with lower price, better quality, better support, people just choose those reputable companies over me. Why?

That’s how the world works and let’s face it.

How to Sell a Website

Selling a website is no easy task. Of course, you don’t want to just give out all of your hard work for a price you would only reluctantly accept. However, what if there’s no market demand for your website at all?

Ultimately, what buyers need to understand is that the price they get all comes down to market demand. If someone in the market is looking to strategically acquire websites, of course you will be able to obtain premiums. However, it’s not always easy to determine whether someone is looking for a strategic acquisition or a mere portfolio expansion. Most naive buyers will be blatant about it, but it’s not always the case. Strong negotiation skills and a background in psychology will help you tremendously here.

In most cases, website valuation involves the income, traffic, domain, and other such factors. When selling websites, nothing is absolute. While an appraiser may give you a rough estimate, buyers may nitpick some factors over others.

Unlike real estate, in the world of buying and selling websites, the price can fluctuate wildly from one day to the next. It’s your job to keep everything stable throughout the span of the sale.

The Benefits Of Leaving Comments On Other Blogs

Hey everyone, I’m David Koh from Drett.com and I am a guest blogger here for today. Well, today I want to talk about the benefits of leaving comments on other blogs.

Before I start, I want to clarify any wrong ideas you have about the whole “Leaving comments on other blogs” concept. First of all, when I said leaving comments I meant leaving constructive and comments which add value back into the post instead of the much dreaded spammy comments. You may be tempted to leave comments randomly and in a spammy manner, but please don’t. Bloggers like me have already lots of problems with comment spam and do not need more spammers to come into the world. Besides, spammy comments reflect negatively on your blog and might actually backfire.

So let me begin.

Leaving quality comments on other blogs brings a whole lot of benefits and advantages to you as a blogger. Below are some of the advantages but remember, these the benefits of leaving comments on other blogs are not just limited to the few which I’m going to mention and talk about:

1. It gives you a free one way backlink to your site
2. It gives you free traffic to your site
3. It helps build your reputation as a blogger or webmaster
4. It helps to foster friendship and partnership between you and the other blogger

It Gives You A Free One Way Backlink

The most obvious benefit of leaving a comment on another blog is that you get a free one way backlink (Well, you obviously only get it if you fill up the website field or leave a link the comments). It doesn’t really matter whether the blog is a no-follow blog or a do-follow blog, you still get a one backlink to your site. These kind of one backlinks are extremely prized and valuable to a webmaster. Yes I know, no-follow links don’t contribute to PageRank, but is blogging really all about PageRank? Think about it. Besides, no-follow tags only stops from spreading the PageRank to your site but doesn’t hinder other people to click on it or getting indexed by seach engines, giving you free traffic and bringing you to my next point.

It Gives You Free Traffic

As I mentioned above, by leaving comments you get a free backlink, and these backlinks helps to bring in a few visitors to your site. Traffic that comes in like this is usually very little and might be negligible if your blog has already a lot of traffic but if your site is relatively new this is a good way to help bring in traffic. One thing I noticed about these kind of method to get traffic is that the more controversial your comment is, the higher the change people will visit your site.

This method of bringing is good for bringing in a few extra visitors and nothing more, but the keyword here is extra visitors.

It Helps Build Your Reputation

Whenever you leave quality comments that add value or more insight into post, you’ll slowly but surely building up your reputation as a blogger. These comments can be those really short and low quality comments such as “I really like your post”, these kind of comments have to actually add content or fill up a void in the bloggers post.

Take this post for example, if I left out any points or advantages that you feel is very prominent, you could leave a comment with the extra point and elaborate on it. Furthermore, if you have written a post on your blog about it, you could actually leave a link to your post. This gives you reputation as someone who “knows it” and gives you another free backlink and even more traffic.

It Helps To Partnership Between You And The Other Blogger

Believe it or not, by leaving comments on other blogs you are actually building up a partnership between you and the other blogger. Obviously if you only leave a comment on a blog you won’t be building up anything, but if you are a long time reader and commenter, the blogger will eventually notice you and thus friendship would be born.

If you share the same interests as the blogger, friendship could eventually become partnership as you and the blogger start doing projects with each other. The internet is a big world – having a partner and someone who helps you and gives you guidance is invaluable. Seriously.

Well, I have come to an end about the benefits of leaving comments on other blogs. I hope you enjoyed it. If you do have any other benefits that I did not point out, please be so kind as to leave a comment below. How can you possible resist not to comment here after reading all about the benefits of leaving comments ?

And I would like to end with thanks for Derek letting me be a guest blogger here, it’s really an honour writing here. And if you want, please do check out my site at Drett.com or sign up to my RSS feed.
