Facebook Announces Video Calling and Updated Chat

Today was a big day for Mark Zuckerberg and the Facebook team. They announced some new features with Facebook which include a redesigned chat, group chat, and video calling. All of this was encouraged to make communication a lot smoother between users. With Google+ growing quickly, do you think Facebook will dip in numbers? I personally don’t think so.

Turn Your Social Media into Revenue

There is a big topic nowadays about generating extra income from social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Today I have my TOP 3 ways of doing so, all of which I am using right now. These are all free to use services and are quite simple to work with.

The first one is a service called Twtbuck. Twtbuck is a service that couldn y be any more simpler to use. They generate affiliate links for you, all you do is copy and paste them to your social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, or even your own website. They also have a referral program that offers 30% commission from all of your referrals. The payments are constant and you can be paid via paypal The steps are as simple as

Grab Ad Links or Widgets
Begin with Tweeting the ad and then share on Facebook and IM
Check out the link and write a small review about the link on your blog and give your ad links in the blog post.
Use ad links in your email signature or forum signature
For every click you get on these links, you get paid. Simple!

This service is by far my favorite out of all of the services I use and I highly recommend it to new beginners looking to add a little extra cash in their pockets. If you are interested in checking out this service go ahead and click here and begin earning today!

MagPie is a twitter only service that allows advertisers to post from your twitter account. Now when I say they can post from your account, no, that does not mean you give them your account information and they have full access to it. It s basically an ad post on your twitter feed that you get revenue from. You can set the ratio of how many tweets advertisers can post in your account settings so they aren t posting ads every time you post a new tweet. For example, I have it set up to where every five tweets I make, advertisers get one tweet. The payout for this service is $50.00 which is a bit high in my opinion. While this service is good, it is my least favorite simply because of the amount you must earned before you can actually be paid.

If you re interested in the MagPie service check it out here and give it a try.

Option number three is called Sponsored Tweets. Sponsored Tweets is a Twitter advertising platform that connects advertisers with tweeters. The site provides robust targeting and detailed analytics.

1. Set your price.

All you need to get started is to set your price, add a category and some keywords then wait for offers to roll in from Advertisers.

2. Choose your offers.

As offers come in you can accept or reject them.

3. Receive Payment.

If you accept an offer, your account will be credited within 24 hours of your tweet. You can cash out once your account reaches $50.

All these services combined can earn you an outstanding amount of extra cash, simply by integrating advertisements into your everyday social media connections.This is another one with a high payout, but in my experience, you earn greater revenue due to the fact that you can set your own prices.If you are thinking of using Sponsored Tweets, get more information here.

Grow Your Profile Overnight... for Free?

Logo

There are tons of Twitter tools being sold on the internet promising to up your follower count and basically, grow your Twitter on autopilot but let's face it: Why risk an investment on something that might not work? Personally, that is a non-issue. It's the fact that I'm cheap when it comes to ecommerce. But I finally found a tool that actually does what it says it does.

Twiend is an online network of Twitter, Facebook and Youtube accounts where users exchange follows, likes and views. It's incredible and frankly, genius! Users begin with 15 "seeds" which is the currency for getting follows, views or likes depending on how you choose to spend them. You can get more seeds by either buying them or by following twitter users, viewing videos or liking pages.

Skeptics probably want some proof of concept. I have stats proving that my twitter account went from just 262 follows to over 360 in one night of using this site and I only used the site for about a half an hour.

Stats

So what are you waiting for? Get started using your social networking account or by creating one on Twiends!

Firesheep your FireFox to Hack Facebook

I'm all against hacking and using exploits for personal gain. However, I'd like you to know that there is a FireFox extension called Firesheep that enables you to hack into anyone's Facebook account if you are in an unprotected wireless hotspot. What Firesheep allows you to do is to use cached information that is stored within that wireless hotspot to enable you to access their photos, personal information, etc., but they cannot change your password.

This video from HouseHoldHacker provides more information:

You may not want to use a public wireless hotspot that isn't protected now. Before you stop taking your laptop or iPad out to a local coffee shop, you may want to consider using a MIFI or mobile WIFI device that is protected and uses 3G to connect to the web. It's inexpensive, very mobile and can save you from giving your personal information to a complete stranger. 

In the UK you can pick one up from 3 for as little as £70 that includes 3GB of data off contract. In the US, you can pick up a MIFI for $99 on Verizon with a 2 year contract. It may sound expensive but you'll have mobile broadband where ever you are and it's a great deal if you travel a lot.

Stay protected and don't go spreading your information to people you don't know!
