Reflection: If I Were A Rich Man

This is the story taken from book of Frank Mihalic on his collection of 1000 stories volume written by unknown writer. This is the story of a student who had given a task by his teacher to write an essay about him being a rich man. 
The teacher asked her students to write an essay, explaining what they would do if they each had a million dollars. Every pupil except Teddy began writing immediately. He just sat in his chair, making faces and twiddling his thumbs. At the end of the class period, the teacher collected the papers and Teddy turned his blank sheet in the with the rest. "What is the meaning of this, Teddy?" asked the teacher. "Is this your essay? All the others have a written two pages or more, while you have done absolutely nothing!" "Well," replied Teddy, "if I had that much money, that's exactly what I'd do  - nothing."
Simple story but coined with such great lesson. A teaching of not falling on the trap of being rich. Many people want to be rich, as they use to live their life with this. Many path leads on this journey, some took the hard ways while other try to jump on easy but indecent ways but either of the two they will end on nothing. Actually it is not the finish line that will make your journey meaningful but how venture your journey. In the end everything is a piece of award that you can put in the wall of your room but what really matters is the lesson you've learned from that journey.

And the trap lies beneath there, people are only thinking for that reward ignoring the lesson they learned to get that even don't have time to be grateful of what they really achieved but of all them has been trapped on their what they called reward such as money, fame, and power.

I know that I'm not on my current status to say this things because I'm not rich but to tell you the truth I experienced the same scenario. This is my story when I'm playing Facebook games, I'm so excited to figure out tough quests as well as taking up challenges. As a professional gamer, I really love to play difficult video games that made me think rationally until the day that I decided to download games cheats and have all in game stats that I ever imagined, unlimited coins, being powerful and later on I dominated the game easily as this is also a meaning of being rich in real life as they say everything will become easy as 1-2-3. At first, it was awesome fun as I found everything so easy, until I realized that I have nothing to do then, I was burn out having no challenge at all and everything seems can't add up in some of my achievement because in reality it is not me who study, learn and be challenged in game, but the cheats I used made it everything for me as simple a click of a button.

Yes, both stories differ but this is my best analogy that I can use in my reflection. In the same words, you can also do and try it with your own experience, just play the game, tough games and then later on just use cheats and play it easily you will feel the difference, the enjoyment of being challenged , the enjoyment of journeying your life and not only by means of claiming your rewards.

Looking for Unbiased Bubblews . com Reviews? Read it here

Bubblews . com got viral on the first quarter of year 2013 through social network because of their easy monetizing system promising a $0.01 per view. Can you imagine how can  you earn $25 (as their minimum payout) easily? In every 100 views  you can earn 1$ but this is base on IP count not user or you can consider hundreds of your friends from social network. You can also earn $0.50 in every referral, meaning to say if you share Bubblews to your friends and let them sign up and made a first post you can instantly earn $0.50 you must only use your referral link for verification.

Because of this promises of potential earnings that everyone can generate, I also get  interested on their affiliate program, I said in the back of my head that this is perfect while waiting for my Adsense application. But I'm not kind of those who will jump instantly into a situation without knowing more about it. It is me who always put a doubt to all things that is very rewarding especially when it comes to money, we need to be vigilant.

taken from bubblews.com


So I investigated, Bubblews . com by reading some reviews, while more of them saying that they are paying while I also read a complaints against them telling that they are a big scam. I investigated both two subjects and since I'm also a blogger, I know such ORM stuff or this is online reputation management this is by using bloggers, individual reviews to post good or bad statement to affect the reputation of a certain companies, products, website, people etc online. So this is like one of the reviews telling that Bubblews com is legit or scam is only a part of paid ORM.

Because what I'm expecting to hear is that Bubblews is a legit website so it can let me earn, I made to investigate those reviews telling that they are paying. And I found out, more of them are from Bubblews.com itself, so they are posting a positive reviews for the same website. That is alarming, here we can say that, in order to bury those negative complaints, they intentionally post articles that will reflect to them telling that they are legitimate. If that is the case, you can't trust these reviews, it is like asking yourself if you are beautiful, well of course you will say a big yes.

Then I moved to an article revealing their bad anomalies of how Bubblews scam their members. And like my first finding, the article also mentioned that Bubblews is spreading hoax reviews to boost their reputation. He also  added that this company is not as big as what we want it to be,  we are hoping for their payment of $0.01 per view without knowing how they can make a profit in return with that conversoin, (that is a very big conversion compare to other well known affiliate network system such as Adsense, ExtendMedia etc.) If Adsense owned by Google can't implement that kind of conversion for their members what more this small time companies can pay their members as high as that. The testimony that Bubblews.com is fake website explain it further from different perspectives telling their modus operandi so if you are really interested to sign up on this affiliate network, you better read that article against them. It is more worthy of your time than wasting your time to false promises.

In the end, I want all my readers and affiliate members of Bubblews.com who really got their experience on this affiliate system be the judge by writing their own reviews below in the comment box. Because this is unbiased testimony, I will not say anything on which one I will give my favor but I will let you to be the judge!

Does Facebook Games Really Worth of Your Money?

Social games play great part on the major success of Facebook, thus many game developer started to ride the fame from year 2008 until now. Everyday dozens of flash game is being released on Facebook from popular developer and not well known game creator. Because these games are available to play for free, many consumers love the concept of playing social games, while inviting players, meeting new friends is the primary objective of almost all games. If you have lots of friends, you can easily dominate the game as you can do gift exchange, quest request and other freebies by only visiting your friends or asking them to play the game. In technical this is like give and take mutual relationship, while players can access the game freely, developer use them to promote their game, by attracting them with some in game rewards if they will promote or refer the game they're playing to their friends who are not playing.

Because of these process the game easily get viral and millions of player will play the application. Everything is in order and everyone is satisfied because they don't need to spend money for the sake of entertainment until the days of developer decided to get big revenue from their games- Monetizing. Yes the game is still free but there are in game items that players can buy if they want to dominate the game and since players are born competitively, they are not thinking it twice to spend real money for the sake of game, now the question is, Does Facebook Games Really Worth of Your Money?

Actually I'm a big fan of playing video games, hardcore they said I am thus I can relate this situation to myself and I can easily answer this question. Well I want everyone to get reflection from my answer as this is the purpose why I write this article so you will learn if you are one belong to those people spending money for Facebook games.

Long before, it is worthy to spend cash, but now due to the evolution of gaming in the world of Facebook everything seems made for the benefits of game developer and they are not thinking anymore the sake of their players. Look how EA or Electronic Arts shutdown all their Facebook games? Many players spent money, time and effort for SimCity Social but then they suddenly announce the deletion of game in social network. The reason is simple, they can't see possible way to drive a profit after selling an item for all players that will give them a long run investment, they disregard it for the sake of their personal interest.

Not only against EA games but even popular developer in Facebook also deleted some of their games once it lose the opportunity to make a revenue well the question is what will happened now to their loyal players who spent cash? We can't get refund aside from their word, SORRY.

Yes, it is not worth any from your money while some say even your time, but since I'm a gamer, I'm with you and what you feel is like indulging yourself for the entertainment of this game brings but then I'm not agree spending it with cash, if you really want to dominate Facebook games, find other way, you can either download cheats or just read some guides. You can check www.OurDailyGames.com, one my favorite site where I used to download trainer tool and mobile apps. If you are a gamer you are always finding a way, it is like a maze and life is in the core of it, like how game maker play their part, always think like them too, always think for your personal interest and not let them get the favor from you.

They said that there are lots of money in blogging but not is the reason why I created this blog although we  are on the same way while taking the only part of the road is not taking the wrong way, I also signed up on Adsense. I know that many here are already mastered the monetizing techniques using this partnership but for me, it took me to research and made to learned this stuff. Good to know that even my account is still on process for review, it already gave me the profit of learning which you can read below:

The right time to start monetizing your blog is now. Many bloggers played this part against the idea. They said that before thinking of earning you need to invest something, you need to build a quality content, you need first to have a stable visitors. Well for me that is a wrong perspectives in blogging, as what I've learned, if you want to earn money using your blog, you must monetize this as soon as possible. You don't need to wait for a day that you never know when it will come or else don't put advertisement at all. I'm not saying that you don't need to have quality content as well as viewers, but you can also work for it into process but placing an ads can be done today. Well in my part, this enough reason for me to sign up in Adsense today and I want also to teach it to all newbies on how monetizing go with your blogging schemes.

Complying with Adsense terms of services is more important than earning. This is the most crucial part in monetizing a blog not only with Adsense but all advertising program because the concept of earning money is now trapped in our mind, we are focus into $$$$ forgetting that there are some activities that will let you big conversion but against in their TOS. Like in Adsense, you should not click your own ads, or join any group that will encourage to give exchange click. Yes there will be an increase of in your earning but then later on, they will discover your invalid activities. Yes you can't hide that from their system, they have records and they have control in everything and anything you can ever imagine on your banner. So as soon as possible always review their term of services, have time in reading it carefully, this is will worth more than your earning and once you failed to comply on it, all your effort and hopes will fall into nothing.

Analyze your daily earning reports. It like you can't improve what you can't measure. So you need to measure as accurate and as often as possible. Basically, when it comes to reporting, daily reporting is what most people use. In Adsense there is available for daily reporting record (according to what I've researched) with what banner you earned a lot, how much it cost for every click, your conversion and also the click-through rate. With this, you can analyze and improve what banner that works for you effectively while you can maximize those who have low in click through rate as well as conversion. If you know what is happening to your campaign, you can also prevent such malicious attack from your competitors against your ads TOS. You can contact them immediately and report what is happening and let them fix the problem for you.

With this 3 enlisted keys on working effectively with Adsense, I think I'm very ready on this partnership that it makes me so excited to be accepted in their program. Of course there is a difference from research to application, so this is not the end of my tips regarding with this campaign as I add some important details that I discover as my journey goes on. Happy Earning!
