Edubook.com - Promoting your authorship

In my recent blog post, i shared some resources about using article marketing to promote your websites and businesses. Today, i am glad to have the team behind Edubook.com to purchase this paid review to promote their community which provide a platform for users to promote their articles.

So what is Edubook.com about and how this community play a part in helping you to promote your website? Ok, to be brief, Edubook is a blogging community ( using the wordpress platform) whereby their primary purpose is to help authors to promote their authorship online. It is a free to register community and anyone can publish their handwritten articles using the platform. However, not all articles will be 100% approved. There is a reviewing team behind this platform whom control the quality of the articles being submited. I have not tried submitting any articles yet so i do not know how strict their policy on articles are. But i am pretty sure that any decent articles with no copyright issues will have no problem passing through the revewing process. There are a couple of standard rules and guidelines that user must obey if they want their articles to be approved.

So what is the catch? Just submit articles? Of course not, the purpose of this community is to promote authorship and also, article marketing. All authors will be given full credits to their articles, with a dedicated author profile page and a hyperlink to their website/blog. So this is how you market your website. First, you register for an account. Secondly, you update your profile page and include the website url that you are promoting. Thirdly, just wait for the article to be approved. Once your article is live, your hyperlink will be exposed everytime a user read your article. Simple? It’s just like any other article directories like goarticles, seekthat. ( If you done article marketing before, you will know it ).

Lastly, Edubook contains a wide range of categories ranging from internet to sports. Whether you are looking to publish internet articles, publish travel articles, or even recreation and sports articles, just find a suitable catergory and submit it. That’s it.

What is your purpose of blogging?

I am sorry that i am not able to blog in this blog the past few days because i am still having some problems adjusting to the “army life”. For those of you who might not know, I am enlisted for national service since the last 2 weeks and currently, i am trying to plan and manage my time well so that i can maximise my 2 years in army.

If you blog, i want you to ask yourself this question. “Why do you blog??” I develop this blog primarily because i wanted to make money online with my blog after inspired by so many successful bloggers. At the same time, all my friends have at least a blog, so in order for me to keep up with the trend, i have to create mine.

I know asking yourself that question is kind of stupid, so don’t comment on that. But i believe everyone do something for a reason. For example, students go to school because they want to get educated and find a prospective job in future. They want to learn things that benefit them. Business owners employ people because they want people to generate more wealth for them. So afterall, before you can achieve something, you need to have a purpose.

When i first started out in blogging, i do not know the purpose of me blogging. I just blog for the sake of blogging, which inturn led me to nowhere. I am losing my direction! And of course, you can see my archives and view my first few posts. Quality is very low. There are alot of problems, i have problems everyday coming out with new post, i do not know what i am going to blog about? And look back, all this happen because i do not have a solid purpose in blogging.

It was then i decided i should blog about webmaster related / web development stuffs because that might be the only area that i could share my knowledge on. After getting my purpose in blogging fixed, i have no problems coming out with new posts, because i know myself that what i want to do with this blog is to share my experiences in webmastering stuffs. And you know the difference, i have more traffic, ad sales and more value.

So after wasting so many months in blogging, i learn that before you do anything, it is best that your list your purpose and goals right and go towards it without changing your main goal ( document it down ). Currently, i am working on the community i develop and i am kind of stuck with it because i did not set the goals for it right. Here’s one lesson learnt. I hope you guys won’t follow my footsteps…

Discipline is the key!

It seems that one day 24 hours is just not enough for everyone. But how do those people like bill gates, steve job able to complete so many projects or tasks within one day? Do they have more than 24 hours per day?

Those guys really have good time management skills and discipline. I believe they make use of every seconds of their limited time to accomplish all their tasks. Well, you probably won’t see them cyberloafing at work, watching youtube, surfing websites unrelated to their work. Actually this two aspects are inter-related to each other. To have time management, you must first have the discipline to obey your time table.

Discipline does not come from nowhere. Just like in the army, soldiers are trained to have discipline. To be self consious of reporting fall in time, etc. There are two type of persons in the world. People are apply what they learn, and people who does not. Just like, some soldiers might be very punctual in the army for fall in time, but they do not when they are not in army. ( such as late for meeting their girlfriend.) Then what is the use? Not applying what you learn?

For me, i think i am seriously lacking the discipline in me. Like i have been pushing back the time to complete my project. Procrastination! Procrastination! Procrastination! Well, i think i will need to set some self discipline for myself. Any feedbacks on how you discipline youself will be strongly appreciated.

I don’t want to waste my time anymore

It’s been around 2 decades since the day i am borned. Now i am 20 years old, a grown up now and i need to make plans for my future. I do not want to waste most of my time watching anime, dramas, slacking, doing nothing. That’s not the way i want to spend my life. I want to make a difference in my life.

In the past years, it’s my parents who have been planning my future for me not me. Enrolling me in school, paying my school fees, paying most of my handphone bills. I appreciated it alot for taking care of me all these years. Now that i am 20, i want to be independent and having the ability to live of myself and if that’s possible, i wanted to take care of them too and play my role as a son. Frankly speaking, i feel very bad because all these years, the probability of me asking them for money is so high.

For people who know me well, they will know that i am very “into” looking at other’s biography discussing like “wa, this guy is so successful, he make his million at age of 14″, “this actress is so pretty and successful, she will be damn popular in 4 years time” etc etc. I feel that i am too immersed into these type of things that i am neglecting myself. These successful people, the fact that they are successful is because they do not waste time on useless things. They really maximize up the things they can do with their time. Just recently, i am following a young china actress’s ( yang mi ) blog. She’s a really self motivated person, maximising her time, coping with studies and her actress’s life. And… She is just 22 years old. In the past, i thought that what an actor / actress really need is the looks and their acting talent. But i am wrong, self discipline and a correct mindset is most important attribute prior to their talents. They really sacrifice alot of time and effort to be who they are now.  While most of the people at her age are just purely studying and slacking, she’s out there realising her dream, applying what she learn in school into practice. It’s not really an easy task.

Intead of just setting goals on studies and career, i realized have to set  goals that covered all aspect of my life. E.g. Study & Career, Sports, financial, family and friends. etc Imagine if you are excellent in your career but sucks at family matters or relationship.
