Kompozer - Web Authorising Software For Newbies


One of the first programs you are going to need when creating a website is a web page editor. And the first editor I used was Kompozer.

As I was on a budget, I was glad to know that this web page editor is open source software which is free to use, all you need to do is download and install it, then you are on your away.

Kompozer has been designed for use on multiple operating systems, so it does not matter if you are a windows, mac, or Linux user, you will be able to use this web editing program.

Another great feature is its simplicity, this is mainly due to it using the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get ) format, because this software has been designed to be very easy to use, it is an ideal starter platform for those non-technical PC users who just want to be able to create nice, professional looking web pages without having to know web coding or HTML.

Kompozer also has a lot of other features that you would find in the higher end programs such as dreamweaver and Microsoft front page.

You are able to view the pages you have created in 4 modes

  • Normal view.
  • HTML view
  • Page source view.
  • Real time preview.

The toolbar has all the formatting features that are associated with a word processor such as:

  • Spell check.
  • Text and image alignment.
  • Text styles.
  • Copy and paste.
  • Color pallet.
  • Image editor.

It also has a built in CSS editor, and as the toolbar in Kompozer is fully customizable, you only need to show the buttons or icons for the features you regularly use or want to see. The WYSIWYG interface makes creating web pages easy by simply dragging each element and dropping it into the relevant place on the page.

Because Kompozer has its own built in FTP there is no need to use a separate ftp program, once you have created your web pages, a single click will upload the pages to your preferred web hosting account. It really is that simple.

Lack of support is one of the major disadvantages. However, there is a link in the program to the WYSIFA Forum, and there are numerous tutorials on you tube.

Overall, Kompozer is a very useful program, and as it has been created for a specific user ie the novice, it has proved to be very popular with people who are just starting out. Click here for more information on how to use Kompozer to create web pages.

Mass PPV Will Slap Google, Yahoo and Bing Back

Ok so you have tried most paid marketing platforms such as ppc marketing adwords, media buying and what not. The affiliate marketer’s tool box for promotions is ever growing resulting in mass confusion. You will find more and more wannabe Gurus advocate the next best thing since sliced bread when it comes to making a quick buck online. If you've got more SEO tools than money coming in, it’s time to take a look at your marketing strategies and pay close attention.

Years ago adwords was king with most internet marketers trying to master adwords to make a killing in their niche. Some very smart marketers have made millions using PPC and adwords, Perry Marshall being the classic example.

The problem I see daily is that unless you know what you are doing with paid ppc you will see your campaign budget literally disappear overnight.

There is a science to adwords that not many people can master in a short period of time. Especially newbie’s who are setting up campaigns left right and centre.

With the hefty cost per clicks involved in any adwords campaign you need to be looking at the ROI you are getting for your troubles and money invested. The trouble here is keeping up with Google’s changing algorithms, constantly being slapped and sent to implement black hat underground techniques, which don’t work in the long run.

Yahoo MSN and Bing are following the trend. Although it's been said that MSN and Yahoo have great conversion rates. There is a better way of getting fast targeted results.

What if you knew of a secret marketing strategy that allowed you to buy traffic at insanely low prices? I’m talking cents here and not $10 dollars a click.

The Internet marketing industry is becoming more a more aggressive with thousands of people joining the online community every single day, backed by wannabe gurus who are teaching them that they can make quick money online. Leaving them out in the cold while they rake in 6 figure commission checks in their sleep.

Forget the Buzzword make money fast. The New Buzzword is Mass PPV at wholesale prices.

You can make money fast if you know the secret marketing techniques used by the real Gurus in the know, quite frankly you will not hear about their secret techniques that they use to rake in thousands of dollars a month.

The Blueprint of a Blogging Millionaire

Blogging to the Bank 2010 - The Truth!

Blogging has been around for a few years now. Most people use blogs to record their thoughts and lives, while the select few use them as a free way to make a fortune.

One guy who uses this to his advantage is Rob Benwell. In 2006 he dished the dirt on the tips and tricks to making a fortune using blogging. But as time passes the old systems become obsolete and new techniques are required. This is where his brand new, fresh off the press Blogging to the Bank 2010 system comes into play.

For those who know who Rob Benwell is like me, you’ve probably made a killing using blogs.

For those who don’t, he’s the story:

Back in 2005 he was struggling to make any profit online, had dropped out of college and was getting deep into debt. He was trying all the techniques the gurus tell you and wasn’t getting anywhere fast. All of that went in the bin and he started using his own techniques and started making more and more money using simple blogs. In early 2006 he shared this with the world and had a great ebook called blogging to the bank. Tons of people got rich from using these techniques (including me). He then spoke at Online Marketing Legend Yanik Silver’s underground Seminar where he revealed even more of his underground strategies. Then July 2007 he released Blogging to the Bank 2.0 which showed users his new methods to creating online wealth using blogs. In total both versions have been read by over 50,000 people across the world.

But as I said earlier, the techniques used in these ebooks are now showing there age. Some of them are not even working in the slightest! This is where blogging to the bank 2010 comes into play.

It’s full of great new techniques that work online right now! Everything’s explained in plain English with all the fluff cut out. I got hold of an advanced copy of the book for a much higher price than what it actually sells for and it has been worth every single cent! I got it in the afternoon and by the evening I was creating new profitable blogs. Within a couple of hours of them being active I had made a nice little profit.

Blogging To The Bank 2010 teaches you Robs new step by step blueprint to creating highly profitable long term niche blogs using the newest optimization techniques. There’s even a section on advanced Search Engine Optimization. Most people think SEO is difficult but Rob explains this nice and simply so even the blogging newbie will understand it.

Blogging To The Bank 2010 is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make easy money online.

CASH IN by Reselling Event Tickets!!













How to Profit Reselling Event Tickets

Tickets to the hottest events usually sell out really fast, usually on the first day. The key to getting highly profitable tickets are to get them either on the first day or before the first day of sale, also known as pre-sale tickets. This can all be done from the comfort of your home. I will explain how you can get access to pre-sale tickets and give you a list of sites that offer pre-sale codes on occasion, and most importantly how to turn those sold-out event tickets into COLD HARD CASH!!


If you are just starting off with re-selling event tickets I suggest that you start selling tickets of events that take place in your own city, to ensure general knowledge/background of the city and venue. Once you get the hand of it you can start buying tickets in other cities.


Before purchasing any event tickets you need to research a few key elements to ensure maximum profitability.

The two things to Research before purchasing tickets: Supply & Demand
  • Supply: The size of the event's venue (1,500 seats? 15,000 seats?)


  • Demand: Popularity of the event or performer

The Supply of the event - The supply of the event's venue is an important factor. You need to first determine how many tickets will be available, the more/tickets available the lower the profitability will be. The lower the seats/tickets available the more the profitability for each ticket will be. Another factor in supply is how many times that event will run, for example it comedian Dave Chappelle comes to Town and they schedule two shows and each show has 15,000 seats available you want to make sure the demand is there. If a big name act comes to town and there is only one show available more than likely you can count on the show selling out. Use your judgement. It usually comes down to using common sense.

The Demand of the event - Study the demand of the event that is going to take place, whether it's a sports event, like an NBA Basketball game or whether it's a rock concert like U2, you can determine if the event will sellout based on a few key factors, the advertising/publicity of the event, the talk around town, radio announcements, study the trend of past performances or games. Let me give you an example, let's say for instance you live in Minneapolis and the Timberwolves are having a great season and they're starting to pick up popularity. You notice that the last game was sold out, that's great news, based on previous experience once a game sells out the games following it usually follow the same trend, so buy tickets for those upcoming games. If they end up going into the playoffs, you're almost guaranteed a sell-out. If your team ends up going to the finals, buy as many tickets as you can, from my past experience they have always sold out. To get a more accurate analysis of whether a performer will sell out or not, visit their official website and check out their past performances. If it's a sports event check out their official website or the league's website such as NBA.com.

I know this was pretty basic or maybe even lame to most of you, but now you understand the principles of supply and demand in the ticket reselling business...now, where to get these tickets.

Where to buy tickets

Ticketmaster.com is the number one source for purchasing tickets off the Internet. This is the main source in which resellers purchase their tickets. There is one other option to Ticketmaster.com and that is going to the actual (physical) box office of the venue.

There is one trick of the trade I will now discuss that will allow you to purchase the tickets before the general public can purchase them. Only a select few with pre-sale codes will be able to purchase pre-sale tickets.

Where to buy pre-sale tickets

Buying pre-sale tickets for the most part is done on Ticketmaster.com but it requires a pre-sale code. Getting access to the pre-sale codes is the tricky part...here are a few sites that I personally use to get my pre-sale codes:

Fatwallet - http://www.fatwallet.com/search/results.php?query=presale+codes&collection=forums&sort=date

...this is the section of the forum dedicated to the discussion of pre-sale codes to events ranging from baseball games to popular concerts. This is a great source for pre-sale codes from all across the nation. Incidentally, Fatwallet is a great bargain hunting website centering around a set of forums that allow users to publish deals and rebate offers on a comprehensive range of products and services...check it out!

TalkTix.com - This is another discussion forum where professional and nonprofessional ticket brokers come to discuss pre-sale codes and give the heads up on the hottest tickets. Also, in depth discussion of what to buy and what not to buy....very informative site!

Sign up on the artist's and Radio Station's mailing list/fan club - Most artist's have official websites and on their websites they may have fan clubs or mailing lists. Be sure to sign up for those as a lot of times they give you access to the pre-sale codes before the general public.

Now that you have some great tickets....let's make some quick cash!

Two methods of re-selling tickets: Craigslist.org and eBay.com

As you probably already know, craigslist.org is a great place for buying and selling on the Internet, there are absolutely no fees! Because craigslist is local, I have found great success in selling just about anything there. Many savvy ticket buyers will usually check either on craigslist or eBay. It is also easy to meet up with your buyers and do the exchange. I have found that tickets sell better than anything else because you actually meet face to face which brings a sense of trust to the buyer. Ebay is also a great place for selling event tickets, they have a dedicated section for selling event tickets. Because of eBay's massive popularity, the number of people searching for tickets on a given event is worldwide. You can easily list your tickets and find buyers for them. It is important that you have good feedback because people are very skeptical when it comes to buying event tickets. There has been a lot of bad press about fraudulent tickets, having good feedback will send the message to the buyer that you are a legitimate seller and you will not and do not sell fraudulent tickets.

Also you should realize that Ticketmaster offers two forms of tickets when you're making you purchase, a"physical ticket" (one that is mailed to you and actually sent to a physical address) and "ticketfast tickets", (one that is sent via email immediately after making your purchase) you can print these tickets from home and walk right up to the ticket booth of the concert.

I recommend using "ticketfast tickets" not only is it quick and convenient but it's easier to send a ling when reselling. If you're re-selling the tickets on craigslist.org, simply print it up and when you meet them give it to them. If you're re-selling the tickets on eBay, simply send them a copy of the link to print up the tickets themselves.

I hope this information useful and as ALWAYS, it's FREE!

Scriptlance - Professional Freelance Website Designers...Leave it to the Pro's!

Outsource your projects to thousands of programmers at ScriptLance.com

Scriptlance is a website which connects Professional Freelance website designers, programmers, graphic designers, software developers, search engine specialists and writers with business owners, entrepreneurs and people like you and I.

Whenever I need a website to be designed or programmed (and I just don't have time to do it myself or it's much too complicated), I go to Scriptlance.

I have found so many highly professional, talented programmers and designers to build/develop automated sites for me that I'll probably use them quite a bit in the near future.

It's free to post projects, which specify:
  • your website design and or programming needs

  • your approximate budget for the entire project

  • approximate time you would like it completed
Then Freelancers will place bids - offering you their services for a certain price and tell you they can complete the project within a day, 3 days, a week, etc. depending on the complexity of the project. They may place messages on a message board for you and you can correspond before choosing a person. Check out their feedback rating before choosing as well. But, I have found that some Scriptlance "Newbies" will complete your site design/project for practically nothing because they are starting out and want feedback. It's worth a try. You do not pay until you are satisfied. You can deposit your money via Paypal into Scriptlance's secure account area.

You can ESCROW the payment to the programmer and you do not need to release the payment to the programmer until you are completely satisfied with the end result. That way you are protected all the way around.

Also, if you are really tight on money and you have a great idea that you think might make you thousands of dollars, just post the project and see how much the bids are. Scriptlance has been a lifesaver for me. I am a creative person with new ideas all the time but website designer guru, I am not.

When I first started working online I stumbled upon Scriptlance. I didn't have a lot of money but from my experience offline marketing, I had a great idea for a website that I thought for sure would be my personal "cash machine." I wanted my site to be completely automated so I didn't have to do ANYTHING at all but check my daily earnings. After posting the project and waiting a few hours I checked and there were several bids; all of which were about $3,500. I did not have the money so I sent messages to all the bidders thanking them for their bids but letting them know I could not afford it - and asked them if they would be interested in sharing the proceeds of the sales with me indefinitely for creating this website for FREE.

Someone may very well be willing to create something for you for Free in exchange for a percentage of the profits. I think it's a great deal - for me there was no way I would have been able to afford that. I created a contract and within two weeks the website was completed and up and running. If you are going to do something like that just be sure that you have all your bases covered and a really thorough contract.


Important Note: Make sure that you say you also need the site Search Engine Optimized when you post a project. One site I had designed and programmed through Scriptlance reach the top of Yahoo within two months for many of its key phrases, so this is very important.
