Blogging from Home: 6 Ways to Create a Kid-Friendly Home Office

For many bloggers, working from home is just another day at the office. Throw in the complications of keeping your house and workspace clean, with family pets and children running around the house… it’s almost like you have a second job already!

Whether you’ve just decided to begin working from home or you’re in the process of revamping your space, making your home office kid-friendly is essential if you have little ones running around. From cord safety to desk functionality, there are a host of facets to cover to make sure the space works for your aims while keeping your little ones safe.
Below you will find a list of some of the best ways to keep your home office exciting and safe, while also customizing it to call it a place of your own. We’ve also included some of the best resources to help you with the process as well.

Create a Separate Space

If you’re going to be working from home, do what you can to rid yourself of distractions. This ultimately means creating a separate space for yourself, away from the siren’s call of the television, kitchen, or outdoor noise. If you have a room in your house that can be used as your personal office, go that route over choosing to make your space in the dining room or joined with the kids’ playroom. If you’re going to be on the phone, using Skype, or any other form of verbal communication, you’ll want to make sure you can speak uninterrupted, and with kids around that often means closing the door. If you will need to leave your kids for any period of time and shut yourself off into your new office, consider installing a children surveillance cam (CNET reviews top cameras here) in their room or playroom. This way you can check in on them whenever, without having to get up from your desk and work. You can also splurge and get a Wi-Fi cam, so that the footage streams directly to your desktop or laptop.

Childproofing Your Outlets

Working from home means you likely have various plugs and cords winding around your desk, and little fingers just can’t seem to understand that power outlets are things that shouldn’t be touched. Since you might have tiny bodies crawling around, make sure cords are kept organized and out of the way to prevent any accidents. You can find a variety of cord organizers at different price points depending on your needs and preferences at a multitude of stores, including Home Depot and The Container Store.

Décor Affects Your Mood

Don’t leave your home office sparse. While a clean space is conducive to productivity, you don’t want your area to be so barren that it brings your mood down. Surround your home office with well-liked colors, hang up pictures of loved ones, and place some fresh greenery on your desk to breathe some life into the room where you’ll be spending hours and hours. To make this room kid-friendly, ask your kids to make decorations that you can hang up in your space, and accentuate the room with comfy chairs in case you need to keep them with you during work hours. StartUp Vitamins offers a great selection of custom-made artwork focused around motivation quotes, which make for a great contribution to any home office.

5 Reasons Why Social Media Marketing is Crucial in 2016

What began as nothing more than an online hangout has now become a massive network that spans multiple platforms and services. Social media has grown to become one of the most valuable tools in a digital marketer’s toolbox.

As we cross into 2016, incorporating a social media marketing strategy into your overall marketing will be more important than ever before.

5 Important Reasons to Focus on Social Media Marketing

Once you’ve finished creating a blog, the next step is promoting it. This is best done using social media. To dominate each of the biggest social media platforms in 2016, you’ll need a strong focus and strategy for each platform.
Of course, you’ll also want to know what you’re getting back on this investment. Today we’ll take a look at 5 reasons why social media marketing must be a part of your strategy in 2016.
1. Social Media Platforms Drive Traffic
A properly structured and delivered post on social media has the potential to drive numerous leads to your site that are oftentimes ready to convert. With the proper strategy in place, you have the potential to reach countless people. Take Facebook for example, which has over 1.5 billion users that log in at least once a month!
2. SEO Benefits
While organic search traffic and SEO will always be important, as platforms like Facebook start to incorporate their own search engine algorithms, your strategy here will be as important, if not more so. Social media profiles also appear on search results when searching for brands, meaning that your profile page has the potential to appear in organic search results as well.
3. User Engagement
A crucial element of any successful business is the ability to engage with their users and customers. While this can be done via email or in the comments of a post, it’s most natural when done on a social media platform. Creating a memorable experience for the user is easily done when you reach out to your users on a platform they know and use consistently.
4. Building Your Brand
Establishing your brand involves not only reaching your potential customers, but also creating a unique profile for yourself and your ideals. Creating profiles on the major social media platforms offers your brand an opportunity to differentiate itself and showcase a unique personality. You can more easily convey a brand in this fashion and establish a reputation before your leads even visit your site.
5. A Mobile-Focused Future
We’ve known for some time now that smartphones are the dominant devices used by people to access the internet, but if we look at just the amount of people using their phones for social media, the numbers are even more shocking.
Between the U.S., Canada, and the U.K, mobile devices are used for up to 76% of the time spent on social media. What does this mean for your strategy? Since this statistic is so high, that means you’ll need to be absolutely sure that the user experience on your website is positive for users on mobile devices.
Users that are accessing social media on their smartphones have apps and tools to share anything, anywhere. Your social strategy should reflect a focus on providing the ultimate experience on both desktop and mobile devices.

Final Thoughts

Understanding the importance and benefits of social media marketing is just the beginning. The next step is to understand how to properly strategize for each platform, and which ones are best for reaching your audience.

How to Identify a Scam Website in Pakistan?

Internet is without any doubt a great invention and has given a lot to the humanity in terms of providing free information and opportunities for everyone regardless religion, language, country and cast. But as every invention has two sides, the one which people positively use for better serving the humanity and the another one is using it for negative activities. And the same thing is happening with the internet since its invention. People use it for researching and publishing their stories, and also to buy any stuff online, companies use it for selling their products, for providing services and a lot more. While, there are a few number of people who use internet for bad activities such as making some people fool and getting money from them. There are hundreds and even thousands of scam websites which takes money from people for jobs or income and then don’t give that money back. Some scam websites offer online jobs and home-based work and when the users reach their withdrawal amount, they refuse to pay the payment, and don’t do a fair business with its customers.

So in this article we’ll be addressing a very common issue called “Scam Websites” or it might also be called “Fraud websites”, I’ll give you some tips to identify whether a website is “Scam” or “real”. So after reading this article, its your turn to identify the website you are going to do a business with or a deal with. Alhamdullillah, I have common sense myself and have never been scammed by anyone on the internet. And I’ll share the same measures with you which I use for checking a website and its credibility.

How people are scammed on the internet?

I received many emails, SMS and comments from our readers and some people who were complaining that some sites or a site scammed them and didn’t refund their money back. They mostly complain about their own money which was taken from them by “Scam websites” in order to provide them benefits and income, but there was neither income nor the invested money was given back. My answer to all those brothers and sisters is; why didn’t you ask someone for the reality and credibility of that website before investing your money there?, if you quietly did everything yourself and then you came to know you’ve been plundered then why you are asking people to get your money back from them, but at the time you were blindly investing your money, you didn’t ask anyone.

How to Identify a Scam website?

So here I come with few indications that are given by the “Scam websites” themselves, which are common in each and every website who are doing bad business with people. Here is the list of those common indications which you must consider in order to identify whether the website is scam or not? and should you invest your money or not:

Mostly scam websites offer “Guarantee” on everything, even they offer you lifetime money back guarantee
Scam websites mostly don’t have the real owner or contact numbers on their websites
Scam websites mostly try to hide their country and office address
Scam websites are always designed with “colors” and “Shiny” words, so that one may be inspired by them easily
Most of the scam websites tell you a shortcut for getting success or making money online

The above are few indications which you can use to identify a scam website or a fraud company, but there are a lot more to be pointed out when making a decision about the reality of a website on the internet.
Some websites offer services like SEO, Web Designing, Web Development and making money online etc in Pakistan. So if you want to get any of their services then kindly first check their own ranking and reputation as well as their history in the market.

You can check anyone’s ranking using different tools such as Alexa.com, who.is and many other tools. You should also check the projects they have already done and ask their customers for more satisfaction. If their customers told you about their services and customer support that would be an extra information for you before making any decision.

If anyone is just offering you services they have not expertise in then it might be harmful for you in the future. you might lose your money as well as precious time.

My message is particularly for Pakistani users who are mostly being affected by scam sites because they mostly don’t consider the factors which I mentioned above. So be aware and do a comprehensive research before you join any website that asks you for investment.

Last Thing:
In USA and western countries even the governments are taking care of people and making them aware from losing their money. So you can take a look at this FBI’s page for increasing your knowledge more and more in order to be on safe side:

http://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/fraud/internet_fraud

There are however some other websites which can help you to detect how a website is secure and reliable, so you may always use these websites to check more about the website you are going to do any business with:

Note: All the above information provided by us is just for common awareness about identifying the spamming and fraud websites, we have not mentioned any particular website or company, its just for general purpose to identify a website or company on the internet.

Let me know in comments if you have further questions or you want to add any suggestions to this post, so people may get more help from your suggestions. Thank You!

#1. Website Design

Design of your website matters a lot. Have a little attention towards design of your website. Make sure that your website attracts the people not create difficulty for customers of your website. Select a very eye-catching and decent color for your website to attract the users of your website from different communities. Everyone who visits your website must easily navigate to any part of your website, so they’ll not leave it, but will spend sometime. And it decrease the bounce rate.

#2. High Quality Content

After the design of your website let’s come to the content of your website. Content of your website is very important to rank up your website in Google. Content is the one that takes people towards your website and enforce them to stay on your website for a time. Always try to post the content which is very informative, unique and up to date.If you provide a good quality content on your website and ensure this in your every post than you might get subscriptions from your customers. This increases your website’s traffic tremendously. Higher the number of subscriber shows that you have a very powerful content on your website which users like the most. Google also consider this popularity of your website among the users to rank up your website. Make sure that content on your website must be SEO-enriched that serves a very useful purpose to readers of your website.Keep in mind that Google continuously changes and enhances its searching algorithms to get the high quality websites on its first page.

#3. HTML of your Website

HTML tags of your website helps Google to move through the content of your website efficiently and quickly. Google also ensure that either your website is relevant to your keywords or not by HTML tags of your website. HTML tags also organize the content of your website. It is very clear now that you should work hard on HTML tags of any page of your website, specially the most important tags i.e. HTML meta tags and heading tags.

#4. Relevant Keywords

Relevant keywords are those which are most appropriate and represent the topic of your website. Keywords are the word or term which user enters in Google search and then Google moves through different websites and fetches the websites having those keywords and shows in the search result. Keywords are the ones which actually bring customers to your website from Google. Make sure that you use your targeted keywords within the name of web pages, meta tags, descriptions and headings of your website.

#5. Social Media is Important Today

After doing all above, I’d also suggest to not forget social media networks i.e Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn, because by using these social networks you can not only drive tons of traffic towards your website, but also increase your search engines ranking. Force people to share your content over social media with their friends. The more people share your content, the more will be better your ranking. Give more importance to Google+ and increase your circles over there for better visibility in Google searches.

How to Improve Page Rank of your Website?

Just yesterday we were shocked by Google when we saw a new Pagerank Update in December 2013. This was a shock because Google had not updated its Page Rank toolbar since February 2013 (as usually it get updated after every 3 months), and its now been 10 months we didn’t see any updates from Google. But it just happened yesterday on 5th December. Everyone () is now feeling relaxed after having this update seen, because many of the pros and experts were even saying that there will be no PR update in 2014, this included Mr. Matt Cutts who is the Head of Google Web Spam (Mattcutts.com/blog). But now the fact has been disclosed by Google itself that Page Rank still exists and will be in the future. So now we should work hard to improve our site/blog’s page rank before next PR update which might be probably after three months in March 2014. So here via this post, I’ll discuss some particular tips with you regarding improving PR of your site.

These are few tips that will help you in improving your site’s Page Rank over the next 3 months before next PR update, so you may start working over your site off-page SEO in order to be having a good PR next time. The tips are ordinary which you might have already read on other sites, but I’ll try to put something extra on it, so you can easily understand it and apply it over your sites right now.

#1. Write Quality & Unique Content

This may not sound good to you, but undoubtedly quality and unique content can improve your PageRank rapidly, this is because Google gives priority to quality content and its authors, if you remember .Edu sites which have great PRs without having enough backlinks, and backlinks are considered the backbone for getting a high pagerank. So then why the .Edu sites get high PR from Google, also I’ve seen authors who have just written great content and without a single backlink they got PR3 and PR4 from Google just because their content/articles were up to the mark. Moreover, your quality content might be shared by others and also linked by others, so you get free backlinks for your content from everywhere.

#2. Start Guest Posting Today

This is a genuine method for improving your PR on early basis, you need to write quality content for other websites in your niche, this way you’ll get one or two backlinks for your site from every blog where you’ve guest posted. Guest posting is a job something like you are cooking eggs for someone else, but in return you are given some respect in terms of one or two backlinks which may help you in upcoming Google PR update, you should find the websites/blogs related to your topic and request them if you can write for them. In the starting try to write for PR2 blogs and then try to write for PR3,PR4 and PR5 blogs/sites. So your every guest post will bring a lot of visitors back to your site as well as a permanent backlink for improving your PR.

#3. Blog Comments & Social Media

You can’t be lazy, you must at least take out 30 minutes everyday to go to your favorite blogs and comment there, you need to at least leave 20 comments daily on different websites which are related to your topic, so this way you’ll get some positive links which will help you improving your own PR over next Google Update. Moreover, try to at least create profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, LinkedIn, Stumbleupon, Digg and Riddit.com. These all social networking sites are free to join and you can just add your site/blog’s URL in your profile over there. This way you are creating some great backlinks forever. Don’t be late, just go for it.

Don’t miss these posts:

#4. Don’t be selfish, Help someone on Forums & get response

If you try, there are many helpful forums around the web, where you can find threads on every topic, so you can join and you must join these forums in order to create backlinks for your site. Not only you will improve your PR but you’ll also help people there. And of course, you’ll learn something new over each forum you join. Every comment or reply you leave over these forums, you’ll get a backlink for your own site. So this is not a bad deal, go for it. Just write in Google a keyword like this “Best forums to join“.

#5. Create something and see a BOOST

This is something like a secret, you probably have visited a website spelled “btemplates.com” which is a resource for free blogger templates, and if you check it on Alexa.com then you’ll be surprised to see that this site is having 12000 backlinks, which is a huge amount. However, the free templates shared by Btemplates are not mostly created by themselves, but despite that they have thousands of free backlinks from different sources. So if you create a simple blogger template or a beautiful blogger widget then you can easily get hundred and even thousands of backlinks. You can simply convert WordPress themes to Blogger or you can just create a simple blogger widget which can attract people, you just need to add your blog/site’s link in the footer of that template/widget and every person uses that will give you a free backlink from their site. And this way you’ll create more backlinks in very short time. I’ve seen even kids are doing this and getting thousands of links.

Also keep this in mind

This is the last tip for improving your PR over next G-Update, you should always interlink your older posts with the new ones you write every single day or anytime you do. Just find some keywords in your recent post, and interlink them with relevant posts you already published on your site/blog, this is actually called interlinking. So by using this way you can also improve your Page rank and if you want to improve the PR of your blog’s Home Page more rapidly then just use your home page link most often in posts with relevant keywords and see the boost in next Google PR update.

We got PR2 this time, but Inshallah we’ll get either PR3 or PR4 in upcoming Google PR update, so stay tuned for more tips and share your experience and what did you get over this page rank update from Google? share your views in the comments. Thanks anyway, for reading this long post.

How to Make Money with BuySellAds

In my last video series, we discussed about “Applying for Adsense Account in Urdu“. But there is one more great platform for content creators called “BuySellAds” which is not designed as Adsense, but it’s more powerful than Adsense in terms of everything. Adsense is a PPC (Pay Per Click) ad network which pays publishers when the ads are clicked by the visitors, while BuySellAds (BSA) is much different than Adsense. BSA is a direct banners ad network which will allow you to insert blank Ad spots inside your blog/site and whenever an advertiser will be interested to display an ad over your site, he/she will directly contact BSA to show their interest in your site, and after that you’ll accept the ad. The ads are displayed on your site for a minimum period of 30 days regardless any clicks or impressions. So here you have an advantage that you’ll get a sponsor for the whole month, and the payment will be confirmed.

BSA works as a Gateway between the publisher & the advertiser, You’re a publisher who has a website & content to monetize, and an advertiser is looking for a website to offer their advert, so BSA will find advertisers for you and you’ll be paid on monthly basis. However, BSA takes some of the service charges from your earning, but don’t worry, its very low and less than Google Adsense.

How Much can you earn from BuySellAds?

There is no exact figure for earning with BSA, but it all depends on the traffic you have on your website. And more importantly, if your site is approved by BSA, because BSA doesn’t easily accept new websites. So you have to work hard to be approved by BuySellAds.com. Once your site is approved, you can instantly show their ad spots on your site. Usually a website with 50K monthly impressions earns up to $500 per month from BSA. So the more visitors you have, the more earning will be there.

Moreover, the topic of your site also matters in terms of earning with BuySellads. Topics related to technology get high paying advertisers and they make more money than celebrity, sports & other general topics. Make Money Online, SEO, Web Development and web designing topics are most high paying for BSA advertisers.

Criteria for getting an Approval from BSA?

You can create your account at BSA without any requirements, but for inserting BSA ads, you must have at least one website approved by them. So for approving your site, you’ll first have to submit that for review. Your website must meet their minimum criteria in order to be easily approved by them. And here is the simplest criteria before applying for BSA:

Your site must receive 30,000 or above monthly impressions
Your site must be in English
Your site must have a professional looking design (Very important)
Your site must have at least 50 or above posts/articles
Your site must be at least 4 months old (For new site approval)
No hacking, no cracking, no pornography, no adult content, no plagiarism

The above mentioned points are must before you submit your website for a review. However, you must read their criteria listed on their own website before applying.

Now here is the video tutorials series for this whole procedure in Urdu language, which I just created for you. These video tutorials are the part of my upcoming “4 Ways to Make Money online in Urdu” course, which is on the way and soon will be released in DVDs, but you can enjoy the free videos here:
