Invest in Virtual Real Estate

In the real world in which we live, real estate is one of the best investments due to the fact that it is always needed and hard to wreck. You know some exceptions like a good neibourhood gets infested or a gang member buys a house in it .. these things happen. Even then there is a way around it. Other than that the vast majority of real estate investments are good investments.

That’s based on the assumption that you did your homework and picked the good “location”.

In the virtual world things are not that much different. You pick a “location” that’s desirable, build your property on it, and you can rent some space, and eventually you can sell it.

In the virtual world, specifically on the web, the location is a domain name. A good “location” in this context would be a short one word domain with a .com extension or a short random 3-6 letters the work as an acronym for something. This could be a good investment in itself if you just register this domain.

The reality is that all of those domains are gone already. And to get one of those you need to buy and pay 5-6 figure to acquire it, or wait for it to expire and try to register it before the actual owner does. Sneaky and shady, but it happened with Google lately!

Another good “location” (domain name) to acquire and build a real estate on is something that has a high search volume keyword in it. Like “losingweightwithjessica.com”, where losing weight is a high search volume keyword and a modifier “with Jessica” is needed because losing weight as a domain name is long gone.

Such property to have a high value it needs to have good content and get a decent mount of traffic daily. A good pratice is to publish two to three new articles every week and get social media exposure, which in turn helps your real estate get organic search traffic.

It is really that simple. Of course there is some SEO work to be done on the site as well as the social media exposure, but that’s sometimes done by just installing a plug in (if you are building your website with wordpress).

There will be some minor money investments at the beginning in the domain name registration and the hosting, most of the time under $100 (sometimes much less). The biggest investment, however, is your time if you are gonig to create the content yourself (highly recommended) or in hiring someone to do it for you.

The return on your investment is mainly from renting advertising space (whether directly to the advertiser or through something like Google Adsense. Affiliate links in the articles also make a substantial income that some are living just on that (like this article, the link below is an affiliate link). The more exposure your website gets the more money it could make you. And the more money it makes the higher the value of the website when you decide to sell it. Althoug sometimes the website revenue is not a factor when someone just wants to control the traffic that you are getting.

How to Fix Skype “Disk Full” Error in Windows 7

Looks like Skype is aware of the issue because their staff is participating in discussions around how to fix it, which means there’s good chance they’re working on a solution right now. Until they do fix it with an update there are a few things you can try to fix it yourself.

The easiest thing to do is to install PCKeepr or Avira or any maintenance software to fix all kinds of errors in the background without your involvement for better digital experience. This is the solution if you’re not into techy stuff or if you can’t afford the time to find and try solutions every time you have a Windows error.

Other suggestions is that you close skype and restart it or restart the computer. You can also close Skype. Then open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Esc) and go to the Processes tab. Look for Skype.exe, and click End Process. Then restart Skype. If you don’t care about keeping your user data you can also delete the Skype user data folder.

You can always reinstall Skype by going to the Add/Remove programs from the control panel, locate Skype and uninstall it, then restart the computer before you reinstall from Skype.com.

A check disk could also help. This is done by going to “Run” (by clicking on “start”), typing “cmd” in the search box, and in the console (the black window that will come up)  chkdsk /f /r and follow the instructions.

The above are the solutions that other users responded to as useful. I hope this helps.

My Nutrisystem Review

NutriSystem - Marie Osmand lost 50 lbsNutrisystem …

is one of the most advertised weight loss programs. They deliver your daily 3 meals + 2 snacks daily to your door. The food is both fresh/frozen and plain old cooked meals that you microwave and eat. Also it costs way less than Jenny Craig (almost half).

So far sounds good. But there are things you need to know before you place your first order.

Who Nutrisystem is not for:

  1. If you have any food allergies this is not for you. So stay away from it.
  2. If you are kind of picky on your food again this might not be for you. There are occasions where they don’t have your ordered item in their inventory and would replace it with something else. So if you build hopes on eating pizza today and would be disappointed if you get Sushi instead then this is not for you.
  3. There is an additional cost to the actual program. In addition to the meals you are required to add fresh veggies and fruits, and dairy products from your local grocery store. So in addition to the $299 you’ll pay for one month of meals and snacks you might be required to spend about $60 more on the above items.
  4. If you can’t stop consuming alcohol then Nutrisystem is not for you as might be required to give up on alcohol as long as you are on their diet if you want to see the promised results.

Now that we’re done with who this is not for it’s time to talk about who will benefit from it.

Who can benefit from Nutrisystem

If you want to lose weight and the one thing holding you back is that you dine out all the time because you can’t have the time to cook (or just can’t cook :-)), can not decide how much is just right, or you can’t get your head around the calories thingy, then Nutrisystem is for you.

What they do is that they give you a diet plan to follow, send you the food that you’ll be consuming on daily basis, and support you through their phone support and online forum until you reach your goal in weight loss. They count the calories, cook the food, and all you have to do is eat it.

The average $299 is not bad if you compare that with eating out. That’s less than $10/day for 3 meals and 2 snacks.

In case of cancellation/refund requests

One thing you need to keep in mind before you place your order; cancellations and refunds are a real pain in you-know-what!

The significantly low cost (compared with similar services) comes with a price for you. Let’s say their customer service is not the best in town. From what I read, if you cancel your order please do yourself a big favor and ask for a confirmation number.
