WHY YOU NEED TO START YOUR OWN ONLINE BUSINESS?

You crave to start your online venture? If yes,  then do you think you can be a florishing online venture owner? Yes you can, as I know this for sure. But why MUST you start your own business? The logic why you must start your own online business is also the reason why most folks don't start any business venture.

If you know why you should start your own online business, then how to start will be easy. Every one of us cannot work for someone but every one of us can own a second source of income. The secret of the rich and wealthy is based on several streams of income. While the poor work for money, the rich uses their money to work for them.

Now let me explain this: If you work in a company and keep working for your monthly pay cheque, you are working for money since you work to earn it. Now if you run your own business, you are using your money to work for you. This is because you can employ others to work for you and you pay them for carrying out their duties for you.

The simple reasons why you need to start your own online business is to have financial freedom, work at any time you want to, be in control of your passion, ideas or expertise, and make much more than you earn monthly. The biggest is to be fulfilled in your vision. It will remove you from the craze for 8am to 6pm job syndrome. It will give you the time to be with your family and meet your family's financial and moral obligations and responsibilities too.

You see, no body plans your future for you more than yourself. The action you put today determines your success for tomorrow and the success of your entire family and so you must take the bull by the horn today. So even if you are gainfully and successfully employed, still put it at the back of your mind that you also need a second income.
 As I consult daily, I have seen managers and other group of people who were sitting on the comfort zone with great job portfolio got into financial crisis due to the bank and other financial institution's recapitalization policy (for example) which affected their banks. Most had the opportunity of establishing a second or third income but never did. Today, they are without employment and without a business to fall back to. One of them actually came to me and explained how he had gone through crisis since the unexpected folding of the bank he had worked with. He was a manager with computers and Internet in his office but he never felt that he should know how to use them to his advantage. Today, for desperation, he had to learn it paying large chunk and not thoroughly as it was supposed to be since he was desperate.

One advert that has impressed me is an advert by a GSM Company, which says "Big things Start Small, Start Something today". And to add to it, a renowned writer and author, Rev, Albert Aina, A Pastor with Four Square Gospel Church, in his book, "How To Make Your First Million" said "There are no big Shots Anywhere. Big shots are small shots that keep shooting".  95% of the working class are working to earn a living while the 5% that are classified in the millionaire league are working to earn for living. You must start your own business to be in that league.
And one of such way is to start your own business from home. Those who work in the banks had always reminded me that "there are bank workers and there are bankers". They often joke with me that bankers are the ones who own the bank and that the workers work for bankers. Therefore, the only reason you must start your own business today is to start

How to add Contact form on Blogger - Change Style & Install it on Static Pages

While going through various widgets on blogger dashboard i  came across a must use widget that everybody on the bloggersphere network should use on his/her blogsite, which is the contact form.

• Field for the user name
• Field for email
• Submit Button
• Field for the message (text-area)

 The design is simple and the text colors inherit the section where you add it. At the moment, this widget has no configuration options and is not available for dynamic views.

How to Add Contact Form to Blogger:
To add it to your blog, just select the Layout tab, then click on Add a gadget in the section you want to show, for example, if is in the sidebar you want to add the contact form. Then, select the More gadgets tab and add the Contact Form gadget.

Styling Contact Form:

As the background is transparent, the form will integrate well, but it's easy to modify using Style Sheets (CSS) to the appropriate selectors. Here's an example:

/* Contact Form Container */
.contact-form-widget {
width: 500px;
max-width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px;
background: #F8F8F8;
color: #000;
border: 1px solid #C1C1C1;
box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
border-radius: 10px;
}

/* Fields and submit button */
.contact-form-name, .contact-form-email, .contact-form-email-message {
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

/* Submit button style */
.contact-form-button-submit {
border-color: #C1C1C1;
background: #E3E3E3;
color: #585858;
width: 20%;
max-width: 20%;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

/* Submit button on mouseover */
.contact-form-button-submit:hover{
background: #4C8EF9;
color: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid #FAFAFA;
}

This is how it will look like after applying the style:

To add this style, go to Template > Edit HTML, click on the sideways arrow next to <b:skin>...</b:skin> and paste the code just above ]]></b:skin> (press CTRL + F to find it):

How To Add Contact Form In A Static Page

First step is to add the Contact Form gadget (Layout) and second, to edit the template (Template > Edit HTML) to remove most of the gadget. You have to search for the id "ContactForm", expand the widget by clicking on the black arrow on the left (same with the includable) and then delete the part that I have colored in red (see below):

Part to be removed:

  <b:widget id='ContactForm1' locked='false' title='Contact Form' type='ContactForm'>
    <b:includable id='main'>
  <b:if cond='data:title != &quot;&quot;'>
    <h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>

          <p class='contact-form-error-message' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + &quot;_contact-form-error-message&quot;'/>
          <p class='contact-form-success-message' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + &quot;_contact-form-success-message&quot;'/>
        </div>
      </form>
    </div>
  </div>
  <b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:includable>
  </b:widget>

After you have saved the template, go to Pages and paste the following code into a new blank page with the title you want:

 <div class='widget ContactForm' id='ContactForm1'>
  <div class='contact-form-widget'>
    <div class='form'>
      <form name='contact-form'>
        <p>Name<p>
        <input class='contact-form-name' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-name' name='name' size='30' type='text' value=''/>
        <p>E-mail *</p>
        <input class='contact-form-email' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-email' name='email' size='30' type='text' value=''/>
        <p>Message *</p>
        <textarea class='contact-form-email-message' cols='25' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-email-message' name='email-message' rows='5'></textarea>
        <input class='contact-form-button contact-form-button-submit' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-submit' type='button' value='Submit'/>

How To Remove The Powered By Blogger Attribution From Your Blog

The Footer Design series will cover all the latest and old redesigns that can be done on the blogger Footer of any blogger blog.

This post contains the first tutorials which shows you how to simply remove the Powered By Blogger attribution at the end of your blog (you'd have to scroll down to see it.)

The Attribution gadget is the gadget in the footer that contains the "Powered by Blogger" icon below every blogger blog - and of course, this tutorial will be centered on how we can remove it.

 On a normal ground, it’s impossible to remove the Attribution gadget that shows the “Powered by Blogger” because it’s locked into your blog’s template.

To remove it, you'd have to unlock it first before you may be able to remove it.

To remove it, you’d have to unlock it first before you may be able to remove it.

Follow this simple tutorial below on how to easily remove the Attribution widget/Powered by Blogger from a blogger blog.

Firstly, login to your Dashboard; click on Template, then on Edit HTML

Secondly, click on the "Format Template" button (it’s has the same function just like the former “Expand widget box”)

Thirdly, click on the text area (shown above as the 1st stepto take above) and search for this code snippet below using CTRL F: 

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' title='' type='Attribution'>

 (Tip: press down CTRL and F at once on your keyboard to make the search box appear. Do this after clicking on the text area)

If you didn't see the code above in your blogger template, then search for Attribution1

I found my own code when I searched for Attribution1 only. The image below is showing me exactly where my own Attribution1is located. I marked it with an “X” as you can clearly see below (that’s exactly how your own would look like). 

Fourthly- Once you have found the code, proceed to replace or change the 'true' in  locked:‘true’ with false. This will be the new code after replacing the ‘true’ with ‘false’ -

From . . . 

  

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' title='' type='Attribution'>

To. . .

  

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='false' title='' type='Attribution'>

After doing that, you may now click on Save.

Basically, what we have just done is to free the widget from being locked; having done that, we can easily remove it from our blogger template widget.

Note: If the locked function in your attribution is like this as default -  

  

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='false' title='' type='Attribution'>

Just replace the red ‘false’ with ‘true’ and click on Save. After saving, search for the Attribution1again and change the ‘true’ back to ‘false’, then click onSave, it will surely work.

The Attribution gadget is now unlocked and can be easily removed at once.

To do that, head straight to Layout, scroll down, locate and Edit the Attribution Gadget.

Now, as you can see, there is a new button titled “Remove” (see picture below). Click on it to remove the Powered by Blogger attribution gadget. 

And that it!

How to easily and automatically convert your Facebook friends from a Personal Profile to a Business Page

I read in a forum some weeks back on how to transfer or move a personal facebook page to a business page, since i had three various facebook accounts i then decided to give one of my account a try. Immediately i changed my other account containing 631 friends to a fanpage. You can also decide to convert yours to a business page or a music band page, the choice all yours.

***

UPDATE: Please, be aware of the risks of consequentially moving your contacts from Profile to Page!

***

Checkout the procedures:

1. You log into your Profile

2. Open a another tab and go to this page:     http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php?migrate

3. You then find the ‘Migrate a Page’ Facebook page which like the normal ‘Create a Page’ Facebook page.

Facebook Profile to Business Page Migration

You will need to choose the kind of Page you wish to set up. Select Local, Brand,Business or Institution, etc.

After you've made your selection, only your (confirmed) contacts will be converted to people who ‘Like’ your new Page. Also your profile photo will be converted to your new Page.

The other content such as your uploaded photos, your wall content, etc will not be converted to your recent Business Page. So, before you make your choice, make sure you dowload your profile information! Click here to find out how.

Just after you have made your choice and have created your Page, you will still be able to log-in with your original email address and password.

So, you can now select a type of Page and create it!

4. You now see your new Page and the ‘Get started’ screen

Facebook Business Page Get Started Screen

As you can see, your profile picture is converted and your contacts are now converted to ‘Likes’ on your new Business Page.

***

Anything else you need to know?

Well, yes. It’s good to know that your old Personal Profile now does not exist anymore.

It became a Business Account.

The Business Account is still under your old email address and password. So you can log in to your new Business Page.

The Business Account allows you to adminiter your Pages and run ad campaigns.

Of course you can assign new admins to your Page, as well as operate your new Page ‘as a Page’. Which is one of the changes Facebook made when they launched the redesign of Facebook Pages.

For more information, go to the Facebook Help Center section about ‘Converting your Profile into a Page’.

Alrighty. Hope you all like this tutorial? And for all of you having to convert your Personal Facebook Profile to a Business Page: good luck! Make sure to get come great content flowing!
