Starting A Niche Social Network

By Brian Garvin On January 21, 2011 No Comments

It’s hard to spend even one day on the internet these days without hearing about social networks like Facebook or Myspace. Think about it, even off the internet you’ll hear about them on the news everyday. My mom hears about them and asks me what those are as she’s never logged on the internet before. She doesn’t even know what they are but she hears about these sites and twitter every single day. What most people don’t realize is that the massive social networks required many skilled programmers and a lot of funding to get them started. However the opportunity is still wide open for Niche Social Networks, which are nothing but social networks that are scaled down to a specific niche. Many people have good intentions when they try to start their own micro social network, but they end up with no visitors or signups at the end of the day. You can have the best of intentions but if you don’t launch your new social networking site right with a good plan, continued focus and proven methodology you can end up producing nothing more than a virtual ghost town.

You’re the one that has to put the time in and find your passion. In order to get your own Niche Social Networks started you need proven examples that aren’t outdated. You will also need business models that have been put through their paces and proven marketing strategies in order to get them off the ground. Ron the developer of this course spend over one year researching and speaking to socialpreneurs that work in a variety of different fields. He was able to uncover what these people do to successfully launch their networks. There’s always bad news floating around the internet, and you will learn to take this bad news and use it to your advantage. You’ll also learn the 4 steps necessary for evaluating any potential competition you’ll have in your niche. Also you will need to know how to bullet proof your social idea and this manual will give you 5 proven methods to do this. The truth is people are bailing out of MySpace and Facebook at record numbers, and you’ll learn how to use this to your advantage so you divert some of this cash into your own bank account.

The best thing about this course is that it’s not a magic launch a site and get rich in a week scenario. You will need to learn how to get tens of thousands of members for it to become successful. Niche Social Networks make tons of money when they have tons of members, and this manual will teach you all the ninja tricks that could potentially take you years to learn on your own, and you might never learn many of these. Find out the biggest mistake socialpreneurs make when they attempt to launch these types of websites. It’s not rocket science to scoop up your share of free traffic from Facebook and similar social sites if you know what you’re doing, with an emphasis on the word if. Also you wouldn’t believe for a second that turning people away from your site is actually a great method to get a lot more members, and you’ll find out how this works. Making money with a niche social network isn’t easy but it can be fun if you are passionate about your niche and are willing to put some time and effort into promoting it so you can sit back and enjoy the windfall for years.

Movies Capital Unlimited Movie Downloads

By Brian Garvin On January 21, 2011 No Comments

Nowdays movies can be downloaded via the internet at cable or DSL speed and things are much different than the days you use to go to your local movie rental store and rent VHS videos or DVD’s. Sure you can still do this but these days a plethora of other options are available to you. No file sharing software or the risk of getting nasty viruses is another advantage of downloading movies at the Movies Capital Unlimited Movie Downloads website. The other day I was watching the movie internal affairs. I had a great time watching it not only for the fact that it was a great movie but also because I didn’t have to pay for it, I just downloaded it and boom I was watching it within minutes. It is amazing these days that with just an internet connection and high speed cable or DSL someone can download all the movies they can watch without paying monthly fees or rental fees for that matter.

If you walk into a video rental store and walk out with a DVD you didn’t pay for, most people would consider that stealing. On the same token, most people think downloading movies from the web is a criminal offense as well and they are right in both cases. If you use a P2P file sharing program to download movies you are downloading them without the others permission and they are the people who own the rights to these movies. If you aren’t visiting a trusted site like the Movies Capital Unlimited Movie Downloads website you have no way of knowing that the movies you are downloading are fully licensed and this can come back and bite you in the tail later.

Usually if a website tells you that you can download millions of movies for a miniscule one time financial commitment you can be rest assured that all they are doing is selling you peer to peer software which is stealing the movies from other people who have paid for them and that you will be obtaining unauthorized copies of these movies. There is no such thing as the concept of legally downloading and trading files on any of the file sharing networks. We all have the need to chill out and watch our favorite movies every now and then. Some TV networks are offering the complete episodes of their shows as long as you can deal with watching their commercials. And in the US if you want to wait an extra day you can watch the latest episodes of their shows the day after they air for everyone else to see. Or you can visit the Movies Capital Unlimited Movie Downloads website and they will provide you with updated website lists that you can visit and legally download these movies or even burn them onto a CD and you’ll only pay a minimum fee without the concern of spyware.

DUBturbo Ultimate Production Beat Software

By Brian Garvin On January 21, 2011 No Comments

If you are into urban music then chances are you will thoroughly enjoy making your own rap beats and producing your own custom music, and the best way to do this is with DUBturbo Production Beat Software. However trying do do this from scratch is like trying to put $20.00 in a gas tank that’s already full. Most current product beat software costs a grip of cash and current information on how to do this properly is limited. Your other alternative is to rent space at a recording studio or better yet own your own recording studio, but you’re looking at upwards of $10,000 or more for the equipment. Music recording equipment doesn’t cost pennies it costs big bucks, but I’m sure you’ve already researched this or you probably wouldn’t be on this site in the first place.

However DUBturbo Production Beat Software is a much cheaper and effective alternative. Visit their website so you can see for yourself all of the amazing functionality offered with this software suite. This recently released Digital Audio Workstation which many refer to as DAW and the cool thing is this DAW is user friendly so beginners won’t have any issues using it, and if you’re a pro you’ll just have that much more fun with this tool. I mean who wants to spend months or even years learning core music theory methodology or spend your college tuition money on expensive music production classes?

You can literally start making cool rap beats or any other type of bests for that matter with this tool in minutes, not months or years. And the purchase price for this is so low even your canary will tell you it’s worth securing your own personal copy. But don’t take my word for it, view their DUBturbo Production Beat Software website and see for yourself. When DUBturbo was released my original thought was yeah right, another beat maker like the kind you might buy at Toys R Us. But I was able to make 5 beats I really liked with this in less than 30 minutes. Tupac Shakur became famous because in his last year he practically lived in the production studio and he took massive action. Sure he’s talented but chances are you are talented as well, you just need a tool like this to bring you over the edge.

Stream Direct HDTV

By Brian Garvin On January 19, 2011 No Comments

A couple friends of mine were wondering how Stream Direct HDTV works. It doesn’t require any hardware and it allows you to stream into over 4,500 different channels. In all seriousness I don’t see who would need 4,500 channels so I say if it’s there why not just take advantage of it. The internet does have advantages when it comes to watching movies like you would on NetFlix. One of them is that it is a lot cheaper. Renting movies at your local movie rental store will set you back $3.00 per movie, but Netflix gives you unlimited access to movies for under $10 bucks every month. Stream Direct HDTV uses the same concept to save you money that Netflix does.

You don’t need to download any specific type of hardware to view these channels. Plus this service is available in practically every country in the world including many regions in Africa and Asia. The advantage of streaming cable TV on your computer is you avoid the high monthly costs of current cable television. It’s not uncommon to pay $100.00 per month or even more just to watch cable TV in your living room. But when you stream it it doesn’t end up costing you anything. Watching Digital HD Channels on demand is what the people want and now there’s a company who is offering this service for a one time fee. Many of us cheapskates just cringe when we have to pay another monthly bill so why not avoid paying these whenever possible. No matter where you live in the world as long as you have a computer, an internet connection and are willing to spend just $49.95 one time you can watch all the TV you want from your PC and there’s not too many who wouldn’t want to do this.

The reason so many people are jumping all over Stream Direct HDTV is because it only takes a minute to setup and like I mentioned before doesn’t require you to download or install any type of hardware. You have access to all 3,500 channels as a customers which includes international channels and you only have to pay one time. It even covers Pakistan and Thailand so what else could you ask for. There are doers who take action when they see a good deal and people who will never see the forest even if there aren’t any trees in their way. The question is are you an action taker or are you the type who second guesses a good deal no matter how solid it is? I can’t make the final decision for you to purchase Stream Direct HDTV but I can tell you that at a one time fee of $49.95, what better deal is there out there. You’ll get your money back after using this service for just one month.

Is Jared Loughner Insane?

By Brian Garvin On January 19, 2011 2 Comments

The question is is Jared Loughner Insane? Personally I think he’s disturbed and psychotic but I also felt he knew exactly what he was doing when he shot Congress Lady Gabrielle Giffords and the others. Hitler was evil but wasn’t insane. My definition of insane means that he had no idea if what he did was right or wrong. I personally felt that he knew exactly what he was doing that day. How much more evidence do you need for this than the fact that he had this entire thing planned out and he had a grudge against this congress woman.

And it looks like his primary mission failed. His true intent was to execute Giffords and it looks like she’ll make some sort of recovery. Whether she’ll have brain damage is yet to be known, but she will survive this incident according to all the doctors out there. And what will happen to Jared. One thing for certain is even though his trial will be held in San Diego, I don’t think that’s going to help him out that much. I doubt the jury will rule him insane because if they do, he’ll only have to spend time in a psychiatric hospital until people think he’s fully recovered. When the establishment gives him a clean bill of mental health if they ever did he would eventually be released back into society. If he ever was I don’t think he’d last long out here.

The other options the jury has is to declare him guilty and give him life without parole or the death penalty. Both the Feds and the State have multiple murder beefs with Loughner, so I feel he’s screwed either way. And I think blaming this psychopaths actions on the right or the left or Sarah Palin is plain stupid. He acted alone and he knows what he did, now he’s gonna have to pay the fiddler and it won’t be anything nice. Jared won’t be too popular among the prison population and any time he serves in jail or prison will have to be in protective custody. This is because killing a 9 year old girl won’t sit will with any of the mainline inmates.

Casa Don Diego Restaurant In Chula Vista

By Brian Garvin On October 25, 2010 No Comments

Okay I just got done eating at the Casa Don Diego Restaurant in Chula Vista which is a Mexican Restaurant. Also I wanted to mention that I liked the drive up here also. Going south through San Diego on the I-5 freeway is lots of fun and definitely not boring. I’m a student at National University and am attending their South Bay Campus. The restaurant and the school are both only about 8 miles from the border. This is located where 3rd Avenue crosses Oxford Ave right by the down town area. I didn’t realize until today that there are certain parts of Downtown Chula Vista on 3rd Avenue that have parking meters, the old school type that you have to stick quarters in. If you are in South Bay, just remember just about everything seems to be happening on Broadway, 3rd Avenue and Palomar Street. I’m sure there are some areas I missed but these are the highlights. In fact I might even review more restaurants and note the good and the bad, why not if you’re anywhere in San Diego County could help you a bit.

Going back to the food at Casa Don Diego, I had a small Chorizo plate for only $6.95 and paid $2.20 for some unsweetened Iced Tea. I’m writing because I found a place out here I seem to be particularly fond of. They only serve Mexican Food at this place, but that’s okay with me. On this same plate I got Chorizo, 3 Corn Tortillas (I could have chose flower as a substitute), Rice, Beans and all the chips you could eat. They gave me 2 plates of those plus some Red & Green hot sauce. Plus they gave me a bowl of pickled carrots, jalapenos and onions which were pretty darn good. What impressed me most about this place was not just the low price of their food, but the service and the style of the restaurant. It has that semi dark, fancy look like Outback Steakhouse, which pictures of all the Chula Vista little league and high school football and baseball teams, so it has a local twist. So I guess I was happy to get all this for just $9.95, which is about as much as I’d pay at a fast food restaurant for a processed meal everyone’s heard about 10,000 times on television already.

This is definitely a place I’ll be going back to and eating at again. They have a few other things I’d like to try like their enchilada plate. Anyway my class here starts pretty soon, I’ll let you know how the first class went. By the way the class this month is Introduction To Psychopathology which is sometimes called Abnormal Psychology. I imagine I’m in for a fun month in November.

First Day Back In School

By Brian Garvin On October 25, 2010 No Comments

Hello Everyone!

This is my first day going back to school after an entire month off. I have 5 classes left before I graduate with my B.A. in Psychology. I’ll be going back to school full time until the end of February, then I’ll have just one class left after that. I get to take the month of March 2011 off since I’ve already taken CD 440 Drugs, Values and Society. Then in April 2011 you guessed it, my senior project. I’ve heard they’re going to make us write a 30 page research paper. We have to get our topic approved, so I’m going to try to get it done on Teenage Drug Addiction, since I’m very familiar with that topic, having met so many people over the years with drug problems. In case you weren’t aware there’s a very big problem with drug abuse in Southern California in general, but in Oceanside, CA. and all over San Diego, it’s about as bad as it gets. Fortunately I’m all about helping people and choose not to use any recreational drugs, but sadly too many people these days do. We have a serious drug problem here in California and our jails are so full of people getting busted just for smoking marijuana, I think it’s about time the government legalized and regulated it. This way they would make more money and our jails wouldn’t be quite as crowded as they are now, but I guess that’s a whole different topic.

So 5:30 PM today I’ll be back in the saddle at National University. Wish me luck. This blog will not be theme oriented. I use it just to take a break from many of the Internet Marketing tasks I do on the internet and will just be writing what I want on here. I work with a partner from Madison Heights, VA Jeff West and we’ve done lots of different Internet Marketing and Network Marketing stuff over the years, and have made quite a bit of money together doing it. In fact we’re just about at full-time income again which I’m pretty stoked about, and what’s even more amazing is that we did it all through SEO. But now we’re making the shift into Paid Marketing methods and will be giving them an honest shot over the next 3-6 months. The failure rate in general is pretty high in paid marketing. I think part of the reason is because people just don’t have enough seed capital to get started, but that’s a smaller reason than a lot of people thing. Most people who made it big in PPC and CPV started out almost completely broke, luckily we’re not quite in that category. But I think the biggest reason people take nosedives is just because they don’t test enough or stick in the game long enough for it to pay them.

Lets hope PPC and CPV leads to the higher road of financial freedom over the next year or two for Jeff and I. I have plans to become a Mental Health Worker or to do some other similar job when I graduate from college, like being a Staff Member at a rehab facility, those are my backup plans. But my heart really is in this making money from home stuff, as I’ve had great success with it over the years and am moderately successful with it right now. I guess you can say I’m putting up this blog in an attempt to be completely transparent regarding how it’s going for us, and if we’re doing something that peaks your interest, you can just contact me and I’ll be happy to point you in the right direction. When I was younger I always had fantasies about making billions of dollars and taking over the world, but these days I’d be stoked just to know I bring in enough net income to get all my bills paid and to be able to save some money each month after this and only working a few hours per week to do this.

Back in 1991 I was in an elite Marine Corps Paratrooper unit called 1st Anglico and did my entire 4 year tour there (I’m 41 now). I hurt my back pretty bad on a parachute jump, so I get a small pension, but not nearly enough to retire on. So my goal is to keep learning more about how free and paid traffic works until I can walk away with a net profit each month of more than I would make if I did 20 years of honorable military service. In fact this is where my heart and mind are set and you can say I feel I’m entitled to at least that much. One of the things I’ve learned over the last year is it’s more about working smarter than harder. Some things take forever if you try to do them all yourself. I’ve learned to outsource almost all of my SEO tasks, and it’s freed up more of my time. Jeff and I are on the verge of going full-time now, as we’re almost at $100 per day, and this income is pretty darn stable.

If you wanna get to know me, just keep reading my blog. I put this up so people like you trying to get ahead in life like myself, will have someone to relate to. I don’t believe in secrets because there are trillions of dollars out there to be made by marketers like us, and like I said before I’d be very happy with a high 5 figure income, and I know many people reading this blog feel the exact same way. I have a ton of experience in marketing and it’s all starting to come together now. It really does take time to learn all the ropes, but it’s definitely possible. Jeff and I even have a retail site called Poker Stars Direct that’s doing about 20k yearly, but it needs a major content overhaul. Once we get unique content on each page, which will cost about $8,000, the site should be doing about $100,000 per year in gross sales.

So that’s about all for starters, obviously I have a lot more to share with you than this, but we gotta start somewhere right? Overall the courses we’ve bought on the internet to teach us this stuff do teach a lot, but for some reason everything we’ve purchased so far only teaches pieces of the puzzle and don’t provide us with the full picture. Certain references are outdated, or don’t even work, and some of the real juicy stuff steps are left out so we need to figure it out on our own or just give up on it. I don’t mean give up on Internet Marketing as a whole, I just meant one specific type of task.

All I can tell you is if you keep reading this blog and learning about my life is that I’ll be completely transparent with you. The reason is that I have nothing to lose at this point and am bound determined to make a full-time income on the internet the right way, by providing value to the marketplace without hurting anyone in the process. Hopefully I didn’t leave anything else out. I have to start getting ready for school in the next few hours, but I’ll keep you updated.
