I also started work on my company site its going to be called ‘Soul Web Works‘ and wrote a blog post. I’ll be working more on it this summer and create a brand out of it. I want to be a big player in the internet marketing industry in dubai. Hopefully, I will.

I have to work on a friends site in the night , I ll keep you updated on how it goes.

I just realized that I have made so many commitments before exams. I have a website to design a code to fix ( which I have no idea about…) I have got new sites to make , old sites to monetize. I need to look for more streams to squeeze in more profits from my sites.

I ll keep you people updated on what I do tomorrow

I will soon be starting off with Soul Web Woks where I am gonna be blogging about SEO and related stuff. I will be looking at various parameters google could measure or monitor for SERPS of a site. Basically , try and model google out. Its not a easy thing but not impossible either.

Like i said before , i’ve got close to 26 sites to work on.  Out of which only 3-4 make any real money. I will be aiming to monetize the other sites effectively and squeeze the existing money makers to the limit at the same time ensuring that my sites got penalized by google.

I am gonna be trying really hard to be blogging every day and updating , what I have accomplished for the day.

For today .

- I got my yahoo answers account to level 2

- Set up a fan page and got some 100-200 fans

- Try the fb Ctrl + C script , but couldn’t figure out how to use it

Day is not over yet so will acomplish a little more before i call it day!

I am undergoing something , That I experience every time before final exams. I tend to get distracted and stressed out and my focus sways from one place to another and these days its been worse.  My performance in final exams have always been horrible. Which has got me down many times and this time is no different. I am trying hard to focus. Trust me .

This month , so far has been my best month online I have touched 4 digits in $$ thanks to fifa but my sites dropped down in rankings due to some shit I have no idea about . So my estimated loss is in other 4 digits. So I am just looking at the glass half full and being grateful to god for those 4 digits. I know fifa is not gonna come every day , i need to spread out . My Aim on max by this year end is to attain 3 digits in $ a day and 4 digits a Month in $. Its 6 months already and i am half way through. Got another half way to cover. I’ve got the whole summer vacation to catchup.

Making money online is not exactly easy but it is quite doable.  I ve got this blue print which could make me the amount I am talking but the problem is time. I got other obligations like college and stuff which should deserve priority .

The thing is i feel i am quite obsessed about making money at the moment. I keep telling people how it is done and stuff and they think i am a money minded jerk who keeps talking about money. Probably this people, don’t know the worth and importance of money.

I have been working on my sites. Got like 13-14 ( wait i think I lost count… ) . Not like each of them make me money but still. I have kinda crossed the 1 $ a day mark after a year of entering the business. Not bad, But I am aiming  some where in 3 digits a day ( I am serious , it is possible ) .

I got 2 major projects under execution at the moment that i am sure if executed in the right fashion could make that dream a reality. I am just keeping my fingers crossed and slowly heading to that mark.

Seems Like ignoring the birthday tab on facebook can really get you into a lot of trouble. I seem to be late on wishing every one for their birthday.  If i don’t wish any one , people wont wish me and that is just gonna turn me off on my birthday so well…

My driving classes started and I can’t seem to be getting a hold of stuff. I always tend to mess the mirrors up . In the sense I don’t really bother watching them. ( I know that is dangerous , but I am catching up.. )

I am still single , if any pretty lady there digs a teenage webmaster , do let me know. I might be available

I started this site . It was my first time. It seems like I always have to learn the hard way but well I learn that is what matters in the end. In the whole process, I came to know the whole thing was way bigger than it seemed. I got to know a lot of webmasters around the world. I also came across people who used to blog from dubai. They were really in ‘there’ just for the fun of it.

Let me confess, I haven’t come across even one webmaster from dubai who is into making websites for the money aspect of it. Looks like no one is into internet marketing on a big scale here.  Come on dubai, there is a lot of money to be made online !

I have tried getting few of my friends into the whole business but seems like they are just too ‘lazy’. Well, its good for me in a way. Lesser the number of webmasters , lesser the competition for me.

If you are in dubai and are interested to make money online , I might be interested in tutoring you.

I ‘ve decided I am going to expand my horizons a bit now . I am going to talk about everything I love here .  I guess I will mostly be rambling in and around Dubai and Internet marketing .  I will try updating the site thrice at least in a week .

I guess Its high time , I do some thing useful with this baby of mine .  I need to fix the entry page , its pr 2 and its just an image  which is not really every appealing .  I will be moving this site from my onshore host to hostgator soon  . I think I will stick with the same skin . I like it !

Check back soon . There will be a lot to see and read

The onshore account ( Where this site is hosted ) is kind of gay. I have never heard from the support group what so ever. Submitted tickets but no reply whatsoever. The issues were nothing major ( fortunately ) . The up time has been pretty good though. I bought it for 5$ for 6 months .  Not bad for what I paid .

Here is where its get tricky. Because of zero support from my onshore host I decided to buy another hosting . The offer was , I could get an offshore reseller account for 10 $ / year plus IM support . I was like cool , I ll take it . I was getting an offshore reseller account for the same amount of an onshore shared package. I bought it .

The guy was a pakistani , He seemed to be a nice guy . We soon became good friends . The problem was Paypal does not support Pakistan and like you know  paypal is the most popular payment method on the net. He had his account limited over 5 times and total funds of around 500 $ were freezed .

He had problems paying for the server fees , I helped him financially once too.  When I thought It was all fine ,  He sent an email saying he sold the company  ( here comes the twist )  for 150 $ via western Union . I was kind of upset because this guy was a good friend . All of a sudden I stopped seeing him online on MSN ( I should’ve understood then… ) .After 2 weeks , I was not able to sign in my cpanel , it said my license expired ( I should’ve understood then too ) . I was like , fine it should be fixed soon . 2 days after that , Boom , Server down .

So lets break it down . He first tells he sold the company , that means he is no longer responsible . Cpanel License expired , He doesn’t care any more . Server boom down indicates he ran away . So basically i got Pawned big time .

I had no major backup of my files and I had one of my major projects on that server plus my friend’s site . I don’t know what I am going to tell her ( Yes , a female , that is where it even gets more complicated ).

I have to get my site together soon or my SERPS are gonna get fucked . I am switching my hosting completely now , all my sites will be hosted on my new hostgator account . They are reliable and have top notch support. But they are strict with their policies and shit . But come on , Its fine .

Moral of the story

• Be vigilant
• Always go for quality hosting
• Keep a hosting account in spare
• Keep regular backups
• Trust no one

PS : Its a very webmaster-ish post . Don’t feel stupid if you don’t get stuff .

Me and my 3 friends were on the way back from a picnic , we reached the bus stop and figured out we were 3 dirhams short on our 4th ticket . ( TIP : Keep your travel money safe and seperate rite from the start ).

We though of going and asking some one for cash , but our ego was just a little too much to ask any one for cash . We were wondering what to do . I decided to call a friend of mine and ask him to drop in 3 bucks ( that was embrassing , but I had to do it ) . He was cool about it but he told it would be 30 minutes before he could make it. We were like OK , I was ready to wait . Rather late then never . I had no intentions of sleeping on the bus stop for the night or calling up my dad and asking him to come pick me up . The consequences would be dangerous .

We thought of a plan in the meanwhile  . We sent the most little member of our friends 15 year old to the main cabin and asked him to pretend as if he lost his wallet and had to make his way to sharjah and make a cute little cuddly face in distress . He did it and it worked .  The generous arab gave him 5 bucks , he bought a ticket and boarded the bus. We boarded the next bus and went home .

It happened for the first time to me , I hope it happens never again though .

Moral of the story : Keep your travel money safe no matter what !
