Osa Mountain Village

Costa Rica: Costa Rica is an independent democracy located in Central America. It is situated between Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south. It has coasts on both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It is slightly larger than the state of West Virginia and has a population of approximately 4.2 million, similar to Detroit or Phoenix. Most of the population is concentrated in the Central Valley around the capitol of San Jose. Approximate flight times from the United States are: Miami-3 hours, Houston-3.5 hours, New York-5 hours, Los Angeles-6 hours. No visa is required for US citizens to visit Costa Rica.

Osa Mountain Village: Osa Mountain Village is located in the pristine Southern Zone along Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast where the mountains meet the ocean. The most beautiful beaches in the country are only 30 minutes away. It sits at an elevation of 2,000 feet yet lies only a few miles from the coast. Driving time from San Jose is about 4 hours. There is a small airport 20 minutes away. Flight time from San Jose to this airport is about 1 hour. A new international airport is planned and will be located 45 minutes from the community.

Land Area: The project is located on 700+ acres of pristine tropical rain forest mountain property. Less than 3% of the land will be used for the project. The rest will be set aside as a jungle playground and nature preserve to give indigenous animals and plants a safe future in this tropical wilderness.

Villas: Only 150 villas will be available in the project. These will be a combination of 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units. The villas will range from 650 square feet to 1500 square feet, respectively. All will have bamboo or granite countertops, tile floors, eco-friendly construction and the customary Costa Rican hammock on the patio. Fractional units will come fully furnished with everything needed to start renting or enjoying immediately.

Osa Mountain Village

Food Production: The goal is to produce 80% of the food on-site, including fruits, vegetables, herbs, chicken and tilapia-an excellent fresh water fish. This food will be included for guests and residents, with limited restrictions. Partnerships are being created with locals for beef, pork and seafood.
Planned Amenities: Restaurant and Bar, Beauty Salon, Pharmacy, Convenience Store, Spa, Grass Park with game areas and barbeques, Community Center, Internet Cafe, Book Store and Gardens.

Activities: A Zip Line Canopy Tour, Tarzan Swing and Waterfall Rappelling Tour are already up and running. Visit www.OsaCanopyTour.com to see the thrills. Special rates will be available for guests and residents. Miles of hiking trails of varying difficulty levels are being constructed. A single-track mountain biking course is in the planning phase. Daytime and nighttime jungle tours with overnight camping in the jungle optional. Gardening and farming participation and instruction. Yoga, Tai-Chi and/or other mind/body activities. Sea kayaking in the Pacific and tours of the river and mangroves, shuttles to the beaches, white-water rafting, ATV tours, bird watching tours, deep sea fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling and many other activities can be arranged through the full time Concierge.

Ownership: Costa Rica allows foreign ownership of property. A Costa Rican corporation, Sociedad Anonime or S.A., is the most practical way to hold property as it can then be transferred simply by selling the corporation. Set up costs for the corporation are about $350 and take a few weeks. This is a very simple process and English names can be used for the corporation.

Just to remind you, I am talking about making money online! There are several ways to start earning some money online. Choosing a method depends on how much money you want to make, with which method you are comfortable with and how much time and money you can invest.

People earn money online by, selling other peoples stuff, blogging, giving away information, giving away spaces on there website, talking about other people’s product..

I’ll be writing down step by step method for beginners on how to earn money money real fast with minimal or absolutely no investment, subscribers will be updated as soon as I post it on my blog.

Viral ReTweets

If you are not using twitter to expand your business or bring more people to visit your blog, gain more subscribers or to make money online you are certainly missing out big chunk of the pie!

Twitter has grown enormously in last two years and many new features have been added to it since then. One of them is Retweets. Retweet is a feature where with just a click of a button your message can be sent to your follower’s follower time line, but why would your followers like to retweet your message? Well if you manage to make them do that it can go viral and bring thousands of visitors to your link in the original tweet. It is just like asking your friend to send your email out to his subscriber list, the best part is it does not end there. What if there followers decide to retweet it?? Now that’s what we call viral Retweets!

So what factors do govern or what kind of tweets have more chances to go viral?

1- Who was the original Twetter: Well, it is very simple, if you have more followers there are more chances of getting retweets . Say for example you have 20,000 followers then you have a better chance than a guy who has just 1000 followers! But, guess what it has less impact than what you think.

2-The Content Of The Tweet: This is by far the most important factor in getting your tweets to go viral!

Words like “You” (makes a connection), “twitter”(twittering about twitter), “Please”( yeah please), “retweet”(tell them to retweet), “blog”, “post” (twittering about social media and blogs) are few words that have much better chances of being retweeted.

A research conducted by Dan Zarella shows following word with there occurence rates depending upon the number of retweets they got.

3-Timing of The Tweet: Well, you just cannot underrate this factor. Study shows that a tweet that starts at EST business timing has a marked increase in number of retweets and grows during day and night time. My personal experience is also the same, a tweet made in the morning has more chances of getting retweeted and becoming viral.

4- The Retweet Cascade : Similar to information cascade where people observe that other people  are retweeting a particular tweet they are more like to retweet it by themselves! They relate it to some kind of compulsion, doing the same thing what others are doing . Reason is inherent human behaviour to go with the masses.

So the next time you tweet something and want it to go viral, keep these suggestions in mind!!

Cheers!

Here are the steps on how to make your blog do follow for blogger blog & Wordpress

How To Make Blogger Blog “DoFollow”

Before you make any changes I would recommend you to make a backup for your template. You can find step by step instructions on How To Backup Your Blogger blog on blooger.com help pages.

Also you would want to write down which tags require the rel=’nofollow’ attribute so that whenever you decide to revert is back to “nofollow” you know where to insert the tags.

Here are step by step instructions:

1. Log into your Blogger account.

2. Click on the Layout tab from the Blogger.com Dashboard.

3. Click the Edit HTML link.

4. Check Expand Widget Templates.

Make sure you expand the widgets/gadgets box as nofollow attributes are inside them

5. Search for nofollow.

To search you can press CTRL + F on your keyboard at the same time and the Search box will appear or click on the Edit menu and then click Find.

You will see 2 places where the nofollow attributes are used

6- Remove the nofollow attribute, remove rel=’nofollow’ from the tag that starts with “

7- Click on the save template button on the bottom right and you are done!

NOTE: You can also remove the 2 instance of the no follow by searching again and repeating the steps 6 & 7

This is for back links. You can choose to delete the nofollow attribute or leave it.

If you delete this nofollow attribute you do it at your own risk. Backlinks are outside of your control and cannot be moderated because they come from other blogs. If someone links to a post of yours through a backlink, that backlink is on their blog and no yours.

How To Make Wordpress Blog “DoFollow”

The best way to make your wordpress blog dofollow is by instalingl a DoFollow Plugin. Out of all the pligins I have used I find the Semiologic DoFollow Plugin to be the best and I say that because the plugin is frequently updated.

1- Login to your Backoffice

2- Click on the plugins section and then on Install New

3- In the search box type DoFollow and the first result will be the Semilogic dofollow plugin.

4-Click on the install button and go through the process, Its simple.

Tip: Make Sure You Add A Picture Or A Graphic Showing That Your Blog Is A DoFollow Blog , so that people do comment on your posts!

Last Post : Trifilliate Payday

There has been a lot of buzz regarding the new FTC endorsement rules, so I decided to dig down deep and see the actual notification by myself. The new FTC Endorsement rule will be in effect from December 1st 2009. So read it, consult your lawyer and make changes to your disclaimer or the way you promote or endorse affiliate product..wonder where its gonna end..The new FTC endorsement rules covers almost everything.

The new FTC endorsement rules cover all sorts of third party testimonials and endorsements—by consumers, experts and celebrities. If your promotions use customer or consumer endorsements, the FTC requires that the results described must be typical or, if not, you should “clearly and conspicuously” disclose that the results presented are not typical. Also, such customers should be “bona fide” buyers of your product, and not, for example, a fictitious person or your cousin who is doing you a favor. For expert endorsements, the person involved should have special knowledge that qualifies him or her to make the endorsement, e.g., if you use a doctor to sell a diet plan, that doctor shouldn’t be an eye doctor, but have special knowledge in the area of nutrition.

FTC requires all endorsements to disclose any “material connection” between the vendor and the advertiser. For example, if an affiliate runs a website offering an “independent review” of two products and gives a favorable review of one, they should disclose the fact that they are receiving a commission from the sale of that product. These rules also apply to third parties, such as bloggers, who receive a free product and are asked to do a review. Under the new FTC rules, not only should the blogger disclose he got the product for free but the vendor who gave him the product should make some effort to make sure that the blogger makes that disclosure.

So does that mean an end to “Super Hyped Testimonials” or Floggers (Fake Bloggers Endorsing Products), I guess so. Also what really surprises me is that I actually have to purchase a product before I can endorse me..Does That Make any sense?

Well, here is the latest FTC Notification from there official website website:

For Release: 10/05/2009

FTC Publishes Final Guides Governing Endorsements, Testimonials

Changes Affect Testimonial Advertisements, Bloggers, Celebrity Endorsements

The Federal Trade Commission today announced that it has approved final revisions to the guidance it gives to advertisers on how to keep their endorsement and testimonial ads in line with the FTC Act.

The notice incorporates several changes to the FTC’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, which address endorsements by consumers, experts, organizations, and celebrities, as well as the disclosure of important connections between advertisers and endorsers. The Guides were last updated in 1980.

Under the revised Guides, advertisements that feature a consumer and convey his or her experience with a product or service as typical when that is not the case will be required to clearly disclose the results that consumers can generally expect. In contrast to the 1980 version of the Guides – which allowed advertisers to describe unusual results in a testimonial as long as they included a disclaimer such as “results not typical” – the revised Guides no longer contain this safe harbor.

The revised Guides also add new examples to illustrate the long standing principle that “material connections” (sometimes payments or free products) between advertisers and endorsers – connections that consumers would not expect – must be disclosed. These examples address what constitutes an endorsement when the message is conveyed by bloggers or other “word-of-mouth” marketers. The revised Guides specify that while decisions will be reached on a case-by-case basis, the post of a blogger who receives cash or in-kind payment to review a product is considered an endorsement. Thus, bloggers who make an endorsement must disclose the material connections they share with the seller of the product or service. Likewise, if a company refers in an advertisement to the findings of a research organization that conducted research sponsored by the company, the advertisement must disclose the connection between the advertiser and the research organization. And a paid endorsement – like any other advertisement – is deceptive if it makes false or misleading claims.

Celebrity endorsers also are addressed in the revised Guides. While the 1980 Guides did not explicitly state that endorsers as well as advertisers could be liable under the FTC Act for statements they make in an endorsement, the revised Guides reflect Commission case law and clearly state that both advertisers and endorsers may be liable for false or unsubstantiated claims made in an endorsement – or for failure to disclose material connections between the advertiser and endorsers. The revised Guides also make it clear that celebrities have a duty to disclose their relationships with advertisers when making endorsements outside the context of traditional ads, such as on talk shows or in social media.

The Guides are administrative interpretations of the law intended to help advertisers comply with the Federal Trade Commission Act; they are not binding law themselves. In any law enforcement action challenging the allegedly deceptive use of testimonials or endorsements, the Commission would have the burden of proving that the challenged conduct violates the FTC Act.

The Commission vote approving issuance of the Federal Register notice detailing the changes was 4-0. The notice will be published in the Federal Register shortly, and is available now on the FTC’s Web site as a link to this press release. Copies also are available from the FTC’s Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20580.

The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC’s online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 1,700 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The FTC’s Web site provides free information on a variety of consumer topics.

Trifilliate Payday By Jani Ghaffor is scheduled to be launched on 10th of December 2009. Detailed review will be available soon! but make sure you mark this day in your calender as it will be live only for a weeks time before Jani Ghaffor closes the system for new members!

So , at this point of time I can certainly tell you who is Jani Ghaffor and what his new product is all about.

I know Jani Ghaffor from the time he promoted Abunza ( if you guys remember it), it was network marketing sensation! Although he wanted me to join the network marketing program but I could not do so because of some financial constraints. Even though I did not join the company he was promoting he made it a point that we always remain in touch (now that virtue is pretty hard to find in today’s network or affiliate marketers). So this was my first impression of Jani Ghaffor, a guy who truly values relationship and gives it a priority above making money and business.

So any product coming out from that corner…I am sure i am gonna grab it . Well, even at that time I was amazed with his amazing Video marketing skills, the way he used to simplify complex things and was able to narrate and explain in the simplest way. His Video marketing skills were amazing.

Ok, Enough said about Jani Ghaffor now what is Trifilliate Payday. I’ll reveal here what I know at this point of time.

Trifilliate payday is a Video training course which is divided into following categories:

Trifilliate Payday

1- Over 11 Hours of Step by step Video Training

2- 4 Pdf guides

3-4 weeks of live personal webinar training.

Jani Ghaffor himself used this Trifilliate Payday System during the beta testing for the promotion of  Google       Sniper and was able to make money $10,000 in first 24 hours and the $15,000 in next 7 days. He told that Trifilliate Payday has nothing to do with google traffic and he did not use his existing list to promote Google Sniper.

Jani goes on to clain that he use the Trifilliate System method out again 4 more times, and made m0ney each time doing it. He also showed this method to 2 of his subscribers who were total newbies, and they made m0ney with it as well.

The proof will be shown during pre-launch  (cant wait to see that)

So he claims that TriFilliate PayDay course is going to show people exactly how Jani ghaffor  did this, and more importantly, how they can do the same by following his simple ‘Trifilliate System’.

To be honest, I am curious to know what method Jani exactly used to promote Google Sniper esp after knowing that he did not use google traffic or existing list

As soon as I get to know more about the product I’ll write down the detailed Trifilliate Payday Review , so make sure you subscribe to my blog so that you receive an update as soon as I post it here..cheers

This is the biggest challenge I am facing since I have started this blog. Its been a tough task and I am still working on getting an audience and new readers for my blog.

The biggest challenge in Make money online niche or make money blogging niche is how to make yourself stand apart from millions of other bloggers and heavyweights. The truth is I have no clue What I have learned over a period of time is that, a blog Is all about “You”, “Your Point of View”, “Your Opinion” and “Your Perspective”

I have outlined few methods on how to make your blog interesting and addictive:

1-Take a Fact and write how do you feel about it. You do not have to be a scientist for that. Lets say the word is out Windows 7 is a good OS. No one is interested in that. Tell your readers how windows 7 has made your life easier and why do you like it.

2- Collect some data, analyze it and present it to your readers. A well interpreted data can be of great value to your readers.

3-Case Studies: I find this method to be most addictive. If you are a serious blogger and planning big, this is the best way to hook up your readers. Whatever you do with your blog, document it and post it. People love to know your success and failure story..lol and if you can take them along in real time there is nothing more interesting for them:) . You know how reality TV works.

Rather than telling people how to make money blogging or the best SEO strategy “YOU” are confident about, why not implement them on your blog or website and make it a case study.

You just can’t go wrong with these methods!
