Costa Rica Forum0
admin posted in Product Review on August 14th, 2008

Costa Rica is an amazing place to visit. If you stay anywhere in the Americas then you have no excuse to not travel to Costa Rica. This republic is located in Central America and is a favorite destination for people from the USA and Canada. They are responsible for the approximate $2 billion tourism industry. From about 2 million tourists and visitors.

With those stats it is the MOST visited Central American country!
You can enjoy national parks, beaches and specially Ecotourism.

Before you go there though, it is advisable to discuss your plans with people from the country and other visitors planning. To do so, I recommend visiting this Costa rica forum 

Hope that helps.

Medical assistant school

If you were interested in distance education and a medical profession, you can register here :

They are nationally accredited and the program is certified, but before you join I must say, please do your own checks.

 This kind of program certainly has good addvantages such as flexibility in time, quick course completion, ease of payment plans etc..

Wish you the best.

America.com which has been put up for auction will be sold for over 5 Million dollars if sold at all.

 My estimate is that the price should actually be more than 10 Million dollars easy, unless the US Government think it’s their right to have it now…

 Let’s see how this one goes. It’s for auction on Sedo.com

Money making forum0

This is what one user of MakeMoneyKingdom had to say :

Forums are a great place to share, express our own thoughts as well as also get some more information regarding a subject matter which may have remained unknown to us or it may enrich our existing knowledge.

Now, among the forums Make Money Kingdom has something very different, at the same time very attractive from its very name also.

Every person in this materialistic world are running after money. And Online Money Making is something which is a gift to us from Internet. So, a place is necessary where online money makers share their own experience, help each other to get more money making ways, obviously, in wise ways. And I think whoever implemented this thought to make moneymakers in a common place such as forums is also a good money maker. Every person has its own money making ideas. The only thing is we should know and implement it that way. Also it is necessary to know the frauds and scams running all over internet. And for this I think this forum Make Money Kingdom (MMK) has a great contribution towards the very aim.

The very positive side of MMK as per my experience here in this money making forum, you can find quality posts much higher than any other such forum in Internet. MMK also has a strict rules regarding keeping all spam out of this forum. As we know more from people’s views on different programs also we can get caution or give caution to many sites that seems to be scamming with us.

Another good thing is MMK has a good classification of money making categories which helps to determine easily which topic to be posted on which section.
MMK is a forum based on English language and it is noticable that forum writers here at least possess the basic command in the language or otherwise they are not allowed to continue posting.

Money Making is not a game. It’s serious as it concerns money and forum writers obviously here are serious money makers, at least from my view about 80%.
MMK pays it’s members for their posts and the rate is quite high as compared to other forums. And this is the reason they accept always good quality posters in the forum. A forum with thousands of member does not make a good forum, it may just look crowded only. Growing members is good but MMK always try to accept quality in members post.

To sum up, I want to emphasize that if anyone wants make some serious money from Internet, MMK is a must to join forum as it will only help you in your goal and also you get paid for your activity here.

At last, I wish MMK to grow more positively, day by day maintaining it’s quality at the topmost criteria.

Your Advertisement or URL on the T-Shirt of a world famous Traveller and Explorer0
admin posted in Travel on May 17th, 2008

Your URL on the T-Shirt of a world famous Explorer

This is an auction for your Website/Company Advert/URL on
a T-shirt to be frequently worn by Famous Russian Traveller
“Sergei Chikachev” (soon to be much much more famous), who is
a friend of mine…

Background information on Sergey Chikachev:
Sergey (also spelled Sergei) Chikachev is a worldwide traveler from Russia. Not a tourist.
13th August 2004 he started an around the world expedition, hitch hiking and walking, from Moscow.

He has successfully passed non-stop through Mongolia (include 10 days walking trip trough desert Gobi), China, Laos, Thailand, West Malaysia (include Sarawak and Sabah provinces, called as Borneo), Singapore, Indonesia (include islands: Batam, Java, Kalimantan, Sumatra, Bali, Lombok, Sulawesi, Maluku, Gesir, Kasiui, Gorong, Sanana, Banda, Ambon, Ternate, Halmahera, Irian Jaya, Papua New Guinea, East Timur, Tibetan region, Nepal, India etc.)

During travelling he writes his own book and articles for one of the most popular newspapers in Russia “Arguments and Facts” (www.aif.ru) which is published in 62 countries with a circulation of near 3 MILLION copies. He does freelance travel writing for them.

His main aims are:
• To study modern life, culture, peoples customs and the history of different countries of the world.
• To experience human survival under extreme conditions.

For example, when walking through the savage Gobi desert after his water supply was over in 3 days, he had to extract water with the help of the sun using a special method. He also passed among the oldest (150 millions years) and deepest jungles of the world called as “Taman Negara”, situated in the north-east part of west Malaysia, another extreme jungle on Sarawak (Borneo) in the direction Long Lama-Long Seridan-Batu Lawi-Bario which was 18 days non-stop walking (more then 200 kilometers walk). In Kalimantan Sergei had the greatest experience of surviving with local Cannibals.

He says his next difficult place for survival will be Antarctica (South Pole) where the fixed temperature is above -82 Celsius.  It is expected that the expedition will take 3 more years. He has a lot of experience in travel, since 1996. In the last 12 years he visited more then 40 countries. He had been in Europe, America, Asia, and Australia.
This expedition will cover many countries of the world and ALL 6 (or 7) continents (include Antarctica).
This expedition goes on without any special funding. On the way in different countries he stays, finds work and earns money for his round the world trip. For example, as of my writing this article, he is at my place in Mumbai working various small roles in Bollywood (the Indian Film industry) every other day making between $25 to $50 per day.

The says the people in his country regularly read his articles and are educated thus. The most important thing is that they read true and factual information about real life in different countries of the world.

Sergei goes hitch hiking free of charge using transport like cars, trucks, planes, ships, helicopters etc all for free.
Why? He says, because if any car/truck moves in same direction he wants to go, and the driver is ready to pick him up, then what’s the need to pay!? Also “during the ride we can communicate with each other and I can also get a lot of useful and interesting information and facts for my publications”. Hitch hiking is a very popular method to travel in Russia, Europe, Canada, Australia etc.

He also never stays in hotels and guest houses, because when staying with local people at their homes, he can learn much more and experience culture first hand.

During his trip in various different countries he meets with journalists of the most popular Mass media: TV channels, newspapers, magazines and informs them about his expedition.

Salient points:
- Round the world trip started in 2004, planning to end in 2010
- 240 countries in all 6 (or 7) continents including the South Pole(Antarctica)
- About 2.5 years remain from now May 2008 to end 2010 (800+ days)
- He plans to wear 7 different formats of sponsored T-shirts over the remaining months
- 1 important format is the SINGLE sponsor URL Tee and this auction is for that format.
- Has covered nearly 3,00,000 kilometres
- Will move to West Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, Antarctica, North America, then back to Russia

IMPACT:
- If he wears this single ad. tshirt with your URL on it, for at least 100 days (duplicate set given),
he would personally be seen by over 10,000 people.
- Not just Quanity, but QUALITY. He meets, politicians, diplomats, Corporation CEO’s, Actors etc..
- The icing - He meets and gives radio, press and TV interviews all the time.
If his picture wearing a Tshirt with your ad. appears in reports such as the one seen here :
http://www.mumbaimirror.com/net/mmpaper.aspx?page=article§id=2&contentid=20080307200803070313531919e5dccdc&pageno=1
that can give your URL visibility of over 1 MILLION eyeballs
- He is your walking billboard for promotion WORLDWIDE.

Groomingdales.co.in0
admin posted in Work - General on January 28th, 2008

http://www.groomingdales.co.in

Feel a bit relaxed after having completed this website. Yesterday 27th Jan, Sunday, we had a soft launch of the website along with the opening of the Grooming Dales extended office. Grooming Dales is an organization that trains people in General grooming and has a vast array of subjects such as Personality Development, Makeup, Style, Fshion, Etiquette, Diction, Voice culture etc…

It took me a month to develop the website and a few of my team mates collaborated with me from several countries. The US, UK and Latvia. Reverse offshoring : )

Client and associated staff did like the website at first look and were genuine in their feedback.

As some of my friends and clients know, I no longer do design/development, just a bit of Internet Marketing. Which it seems I am going to completely retire from soon : ) So why did I accept this website ?
Yogesh (http://www.crossvent.com ) an old client and friend wanted me to do it, and I could not let him down.

So, all in all, a satisfactory feeling on having completed the site, and now I can get on with my Pending List.

It’s past half of January already !0
admin posted in Personal on January 17th, 2008

And not 5% of the work is done from what I expected to get done. This is pretty bad and sets up 2nd half of Jan with HUGE workload and a challenge on my power to execute.

 Some of the things to be done are (in almost reverse order of priority : )
- Put a foot into the Stock market by opening appropriate accounts
- Clean up office
- Deliver on 1 web design job I had taken up last month
- Get some security system and CCD cameras setup
- Check and work on a couple of websites I purchased last year and have done nothing with yet !

 Let’s see where this gets to by Feb 1st week.

What’s in store for 2008?0
admin posted in Personal on January 11th, 2008

Some of these may see the light of day :

0. Blog more often here.
1. Start 3 new blogs and write regularly
2. Trip to meet a good friend in Lithuania
3. Reduce 25kgs from current weight (97 - ….eeeeeks)
4. Mark as ‘Done’ over 50%  from the ‘Pending List’ I’ve been created last few months

If I do all 5 of the above, I’d say that would be a real good achievement.
