The Naked Truth about Blogging and Making Money Online! (Tentatively)

Since the last time you been here, I have told you about 4 of my personal secrets.   Well, I’ve pretty much decided to buckle down and start writing.  I must say I have the first chapter pretty much started and have so many ideas and thoughts of how I want to organize the book.  I have been writing in a notebook about the ideas and am certain it will develop in the coming months.  

In need of Proof Readers!

I know I’m not perfect and I even know in my posts, I make some silly mistakes.  I know my punctuation isn’t any good either.  I will be looking for a few good proof readers who will help me make this book Awesome.   You don’t need to be a teacher in English to help me, but you will need to be down right honest with me.   If you think you fit the bill, please feel free to contact me and we will talk!

The Book idea!

I will talk about my life experiences and what I’ve have learned in the 6 years of blogging!  I will show you what I’ve learned about making money online and what are some more common ways to making money.  You will learn what I’ve have learned.  I have yet to completely write down all that will be included but I am sure it will be “AWESOME”.   In the coming weeks, you will see a few excerpts from the book on upcoming posts.   To show you what I am writing about.   Until then, just think about all the possibilities.

The Marathon!

Writing this book is going to be a marathon in my mind, because I will have to put in 1,000 hours or so before this is finished and I am hoping this brings in some decent income into my pocket.   I am not planing on this being a one hit wonder but am hopeful that when this is all said and done the book will bring in some kind of income!  Here’s looking to the future.

Secrets we all Keep!

You know it was high time I have one of those off the wall posts.   This seems to be one of thosetimes for me.   I thought about it all night long and I wanted to share with your some of my secrets that I’ve bottled up and need to share with the world.  Your the first readers to read this and I know my secrets will be kept secret!

Secret #1

I want to start writing a book!

I am sure I am not the only one who has the desire to do it but the problem with mine is that I can’t come up with what to write about.   It is sometimes called “Writers Block”, so I am in need of some ideas and suggestions and what to write about and what you may want to read!   Leave a comment with your suggestions!

Secret #2

I want to find that Special Some One!

Some of you would probably say that isn’t really secret, and others would argue it is.   I know my family has been supportative of this but it isn’t like I go to bars or have had any success with Dating Sites!  I want to be able to talk to someone and feel a connection in more ways than one!

Secret #3

I have been admiring someone from a far!

It probably isn’t normal but I have been watching someone and wondering if they even know I exist.  This personal who shall be nameless is one of those I watch on Facebook and other places and she is always a pleasure pleasure to read her posts.   I know we may never meet in real life but I’ve grown fond of reading anything from her because it makes me smile.

Secret #4

I want to create my own Business!

It isn’t like I haven’t thought this out.   I would love to someday pick up the phone and say “Quality Electronics, where QUALITY and ELECTRONICS meet.   How can I help you today!”.   As you can see I have thought hard and long about doing this but I have neither the space or money to fullfil my dreams.  I am hoping someday this will be a reality.

This is all for now!

As you can see this isn’t going to be a big list but this is something I wanted to share with people and hopefully get some good or negative feed back on some of this stuff.   I know I am not the only one to want some if not all of these desires and wants but it can be difficult for some and others.

Dimensions

  • Size (LWH): 7.75 inches, 6.12 inches, 2.25 inches

As you can see this come with a lot of stuff, but what you might not realize is that it can increase signal strength for Verizon Mobile, Virgin Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Straight Talk and Cricket Wireless Cell Phones and Modems.   I say that pretty much covers anyone who has a 3g Connection, you have the option of buying the 4G Signal Booster but most will only need the 3G booster.   I am sure I have left out a few mobile providers but in any case most, if not all, will work with this booster.

So I got mine for 89$ but Amazon seems to be running a special on them right  now.  I would recommend buying the bigger Antenna for it.  The  Antenna that comes with it is really a small antenna and thus you will not get as much service without the bigger version of Antenna.   I have ordered my bigger Antenna but it didn’t not make it to this review.   I must say that I am living in a area that doesn’t get much signals and this booster did help out with all my needs.

Pro’s

  • Mobility — if you are looking for the car, then this is defiantly one of those that can be a great asset to traveling.  The antenna stays on the roof with no problem, the magnet is strong and sturdy. 
  • More Coverage — After installing this booster in my home, I have found that I am getting at least 1 bar with my Virgin Mobile Mifi Modem.   Which in itself is very good thing.  I can’t get internet any other way.
  • Home Kits — Wilson sells some great home kits to make it more home friendly, so at least if you need it for the home it can easily be used for the home.
  • Money — You only have to buy this once and you are all set to use it for any phone you might buy!

Con’s

  • Heat — If you the booster has to work a lot it will be producing more heat.   Although this isn’t the end of the world it can slow or prevent some cell phones from working properly.   So you must be mindful of that.
  • Antenna — Like I said you can buy a bigger Antenna but that will up the cost of the booster by 20 to 30% but it is worth it.  It should be a kit already being sold with the bigger antenna, but I am sure someone has thought of that somewhere.
  • Phones — This is one of those really obvious ones but not all phones will be able to use this booster because of the location of the battery and the internal antenna.   It sometimes is a hit or miss when it comes to cell phone boosters.

All in all I am really happy with this little Cellular Booster that actually does increase my data and phone speeds a lot and let’s me have more steady connections.   It is a must for anyone who lives in a rural area that needs to be connected to friends and family.   I am really happy with this little device and you should go check it out yourself!

The NSA and You, what they probably know about you!

Paul

A Spy's Spy

NSA has Secrets!

VPN4ALL TurbostreamIn a recent report by USA Today, we see just how much the NSA is keeping behind closed doors! I have been seeing this come over the years and quite frankly have expected this to happen.   Nothing has changed in my mind, but I am sure everyone is either quite uncomfortable or in denial of the whole thing.  They have everything they need including your identity, although they already had that if your a US citizen.

Cell Phone Data!

With Prism program being exposed you can bet they are wire taping all the data from Cell Phones, your IMEI, GPS location, and even who you sent or received text messages from.  That is however where you should worry.   

Most phones are using data to place phone calls now a days.   We have went from analog to digital on over the air televisions and they did the same thing to digitial voice calls.   So when you dial your cell phone and talk to your friend or family member.   You can bet the NSA is listening in.   

Emails and You!

Just like Google will look for keywords in your emails to serve up relevant ads in your Gmail account. That was to unexpected they have to make money somewhere.   It can be very dangerous though to email someone with really bad words and I mean those words you don’t want to flag you as a potential terrorist.  Emails are being sent to other servers without encryption and this is a good example on how the NSA is also getting your private emails to friends and family.

All Data is be collected!

I am almost certain that all data you have is being collected at some form or another.   You can really expect it to change over night but you can at least keep what privacy you have safe and secure.   You need something like VPN4ALL Enhanced VPN Security Military Grade Encryption Hide your Identity from Hackers and Government ALIKE.   I won’t say this is the only thing you need but it will help you protect your privacy online.   I like them because they have mobile VPN that you can use with your mobile phones and tablets and keep your safe and secure.

 

If You Cherish Your Identity, Start Paying Attention…

Paul

Identity theft is a growing concern for many consumers, especially we increasingly conduct business online and share our personal information on social media. Pittsburgh’s WPXI reports that identity theft occurs at the whopping rate of once per every three seconds. Even for people who keep much of their personal information as private as possible, recent security breaches at several major organizations show that no individual is safe from a loss of personal data, regardless of their personal habits.

For example, a security breach at the national payroll company ADP recently exposed the names and social security numbers of nearly 5,000 Houston government employees, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs recently settled a case in which the names, social security numbers and dates of birth of 26.5 million veterans and their families were stolen. Situations such as these are, unfortunately, out of consumers’ hands.

However, there are ways people can protect themselves and their family members from identity theft, even if their personal data is somehow compromised. Several companies are rolling out additional identity theft protection services every day.

Banking Trends

One industry implementing its own identity theft precautions is banking. Most banks offer customizable account alerts, but many consumers may never look into the advanced area of their control panels. Consumers who do want to take advantage of account alerts may be surprised to see what they can control. Account holders can get texts, emails or even calls in the event of suspicious activity or low account balances. Many banks can also alert clients if there are transactions larger than specific amounts on their accounts.

Credit Reports

The three major credit reporting bureaus all offer credit score and credit report monitoring services. These agencies can alert you to any inquiries to your credit reports or any adverse actions noted on their credit reports. Consumers can also freeze their reports in events they believe their personal information has already been compromised. Credit reports should be requested on an annual basis from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus, to make sure there is no suspicious activity.

Options for High-Risk Consumers

Certain consumers may be at higher risks of identity theft. These consumers include those who do a lot of transactions online or otherwise have high levels of exposure. If this is you, consider using an identity theft protection service such as LifeLock for added security. This protection service detects any threats on an individual’s identity and sends alerts if anything suspicious occurs. It also helps consumers track their credit scores and allows them to view their reports at any time.
