Get More Results for Less

I’m going to tell you a secret about myself, I can’t stand it when I am not doing anything.

I’ve always had this mentality that I have to be doing something, or else I am wasting my time. So whenever I see myself having nothing to do, my mind searches for new things to do and to accomplish. This is a good thing! :)

But it could also be dangerous. If you are so engrossed with doing a lot of things, you might be losing focus on the things you should be doing!

Oops! This is too much. Time Out!

Responsibilities. Studies. Project. Grocery. Request. Promises. Work. Work. Work. Oops! That’s too much! Back down a little and pull yourself together again.

Whenever I feel I am doing so many things all at once, I stop. You should too. Take a moment to organize on what to focus on and start from there.

Priorities Come First

Yes. It’s already tested and proven. First things comes first. But before you do this, you have to be clear on your priorities and objective. Set short and long term goals so that you can choose your priorities wisely.

You’re Not Superman You Know

Aside from doing first things first, drop the things that take up too much of your time while not really doing you any good.

Take for example watching television. I do watch tv but only when I watch with my brothers and sister. Most of my free time, I read books that could not only empower me but also inspire myself to achieve more.

You should too. Unless of course, you ARE superman. Are you? :mrgreen:

Hug Your Loved Ones From Paris or From Anywhere Around the World

The Hug Shirt

If you’re a frequent traveler like my mom, you would know how hard it is to leave your family behind. Yes, you will definitely miss your loved ones. Which is why I have much respect for OFWs. :)

The guys at Cute Circuit think so too. And they’ve been working on a hug shirt that can literally hug your loved ones over a distance.

The project has been nominated in Time Magazine’s Best Gadgets of 2006, although the hug shirt project has yet to be finished.

How does it work?

The Hug Shirt is embedded with sensors that feel the strength of the touch, the skin warmth and the heartbeat rate of the sender and actuators that recreate the sensation of touch, warmth and emotion of the hug to the shirt of the distant loved one.

For the shirts to work, your partner must have a Java enabled cellphone with her. When you send an sms message to your loved one, it will communicate with the Hug Shirt via Blue Tooth and thereby hugging your loved one.

Is the Hug Shirt for you?

It’s sounds pretty creepy to me. But on the other hand, looks interesting too.

Personally I’d like to give it a try and see if it does feel a REAL HUG. :mrgreen:

How about you? Would you try or even BUY something this crazy?

YouTube Max Limit Increases to 1 Gig, Launches Multiple File Upload

YouTube Multi-Upload Look

Good news to all YouTube fans! You can now upload multiple videos per batch through YouTube’s Multiple Upload Page. All you need to do is install the YouTube uploader and start uploading like crazy. :twisted:

But it doesn’t stop there. YouTube just increased the max file size limit of each video from 100mb to a whopping 1Gig! Talk about high quality videos! Hehe. The sad part is the max length of the videos remain at 10 minutes per video. I do hope they will increase the max length soon.

Nonetheless, the announcement of the YouTube Blog on the recent updates show how Google continuously improves on YouTube’s services. With the file size limit increased to 1Gig, expect more high quality videos on YouTube.

How to Check if a Website is a Scam

Bad Person is No Good

The internet is full of opportunities to make money and earn passive income. With these great opportunities, there also comes risk of scams.

Way back before I started this site, I have already been searching for ways to make money on the internet. I even tried enrolling in make easy money programs online, only to find out it was a scam. But I have no regrets because through my years of experience, I have grown and is now more cautious in investing online.

Here are ways to check if a website is indeed legitimate.

Check the Contact Information VS Whois Information

Any decent website would definitely have a contact page with company address and contact numbers. Check the informations using a whois search if they match. Most of the time, fraudulent websites state that their company resides in the US but has a different story when checked in the domain whois.

Check the Age of the Website

A several month old website is more likely to be a scam site, although not all of them are. Because of this uncertainty, I only use the age of domain as an additional information in deciding whether the site is legitimate or not.

Check How Long is the Domain Name Registered

Do a quick domain lookup. Websites that plan to stay long in the business registers their domain names several years in advance. If the domain name is registered for only a year, I’d already have my doubts.

Check the Neighbors of the Website

Do a quick IP search to check the hosting neighbors of the website. Most fraudulent websites are in a shared IP address. If the neighbors sounds fishy or looks spammy, I won’t risk dealing with the site.

Ask Websites Associated with the One You Are Checking

Most people would ask around forums on whether a site could be trusted or not. The problem with this is you are asking for other people’s opinion. Opinions help but doesn’t really answer.

What you want is to contact websites associated with the company like it’s web hosts or site partners. This way, you are asking a person with the knowledge to answer you back with confidence.

Look at Reviews or Customer Feedbacks

This can only be done if the website does have reviews or show customer feedbacks. If not, you can contact the customers personally. Ask the customers about their experience with the company. Did they get paid? How long have they been a member?

It was actually a good thing for me getting scammed for several bucks. At least now, I am more careful when I am dealing with new opportunities.

Lastly, I would like to emphasize that it is good to doubt fishy offers, but let us also be open minded because there really are many genuine opportunities on ways to make money online.
