How To Make Big Money With Google Adsense

How To Make Six Figures A Year With Google Adsense
by Zig Noda

Do people really make money with google ads? What does it take to be a six figure power blogger?

A friend of mine doesn’t believe it. He wonders if people even click on those things. The funny thing is that he has even admitted to clicking on some ads now and then. Who hasn’t? The question is can anyone get enough people to click on their google ads on their site to make enough money?

There’s no doubt that people click on google ads. If that weren’t so google would not be the multi billion dollar machine that it is now. Google makes their money on google ads. Google shares their revenue of google ads with their google ad publishers. Here’s the reality of it all…

Goal Setting & Dream Making

Dare To Dream

“…The dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.”
— T. E. Lawrence from “Seven Pillars of Wisdom”
— Lawrence of Arabia 1888 – 1935

When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you. Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse; it is a beacon that directs a community of men and women to see you have found purpose.

The dream directs us on our journey. At every turn we encounter its mystery. At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our commitment is unshaken, our strength renewed.

Somehow, if we stay true to our vision, we emerge firmer in our convictions, believing in our ability to accomplish something meaningful.

As an artist, I have often thought that having a dream is like creating a sketch, since it very closely matches how I would begin a painting with a simple drawing. With a few pencil lines and an eye for movement, I find the right sense of balance. Jazzing it up with color, the theme emerges and ultimately the story is told.

The hidden life of an artist is revealed in those brush strokes, just as the highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible.

Every Saturday I read a column in the paper by a lady named Catherine Gallaso Vigoritto. She writes an uplifting column that motivates me to want to try harder and reach further within myself in order to find my “reserves” of faith.

In one of her more recent columns she wrote: “These are the best years of your life, so dream grand dreams and then go out and make them stunning realities.”

Her message is right on. We must all believe in our power to accomplish something better. We need to awaken to the idea that each moment holds new possibility and begin once more to see the world as a child does; wide-eyed and enthusiastic. When we see the opportunities that lie before us, we build more satisfying and joy-filled lives.

I like to write my goals down and post them on the walls of my studio. Believe it or not, they always come to pass in one form or another. Magically they have a way of finding me.

Setting the vision before my eyes keeps me focused. It may take one season or extend over many, but the result is the same.

Believe in your destiny. Keep your vision posted on the wall or taped to the refrigerator. Write down your most heartfelt dreams and when opportunity comes, step into your dream.

“..dream grand dreams and then go out and make them stunning realities.”

Often I have found that the world will seek to discourage the dream before it can burst through the soil of my heart. I have learned to treasure the dream’s essence within, while I wait for its tender shoots to become stronger.

Knowing in my heart my dream will one day blossom into the world, brings me peace. For a season we must protect the dream in order that it may grow quietly on the inside. But if we tenderly care for our deepest aspirations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.

The journey of the dreamer is really a belief in ourselves. It forges passion into character. The dream becomes a pillar of hope we can trust in, lean on and learn from.

Dreaming is an act of faith. The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world. God has given the dreamer as a gift, to light an unbelieving world.

Find your treasure within and cherish it. Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.

“It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, the dreams will come to you.”

Google Bots Slowing Down?
by Zig Noda

About a year ago I had a blog at www.compuwisdom.com (which has now morphed into a site promoting my network marketing business).

During that time I was testing various blogging platforms and other things. What amazed me that within a week Google was indexing some of my posts within 10 minutes! Yes, it’s true, I would write an article and just a few minutes later it was findable on a google search.

Cash Gifting Programs Are NOT Legal

Cash Gifting Programs Are NOT Legal
by Zig Noda

What is “Cash Gifting” and is it legal?

Cash gifting programs are the rage online right now. People are sending anywhere from $100 to $3000 cash and MORE to total strangers.

Usually the “sender” of the cash gift sends the cash to another person on a website after visiting thier website filled with videos and testimonials of how much money the “receiver” is making with “cash gifting”.

In return the sender expects to receive “instructions” or a “system” of how to also do the same, and also “receive gifts” from others. The sender usually also pays for some sort of admin fee for a “marketing website” so that he too can market themselves in the lucrative endeavor of cash gifting.

To get away from the fact that the sender is being solicited by the receiver’s website the sender is usually also required to send a pre formatted “gifting statement” and “non soliciation letter”. This is a thin veil of legal protection.

Mugi Cha (Barley Tea) For (My) Health

Mugi Cha (Barley Tea) For (My) Health
by Zig Noda

Mugi cha is a popular drink in Japanese families especially in the summer (served refreshingly cold) and also in winter (served warm). It is a drink made of roasted barley and water. It is also a popular drink in Korea (called Bori cha).

Barley itself is a “super green food” high in minerals and amino acids, so it goes to make sense that Barely “tea” also contains those same elements.
