Net Income Diary

Life as a student comes with a whole lot of Free things and also discounted products and services that students require as part of their learning or in day to day life. On my first day at University, I got a copy of Kaspersky Internet Security for free.

Microsoft has come up with another sweet deal for students. For a limited time, Microsoft is offering eligible college students Windows 7 for only $29.99 way cheaper than what it’s going to cost other people ($119.99) on it’s release on October 22 . This offer is available until 3 January 2010.

Windows 7 promotion is being offered through a site called Win741.com.

Microsoft DreamSpark -  is also another special site from Microsoft that gives out free software to students who have a valid email address from colleges that qualify under the Microsoft Developers Network Academic Alliance (MSDNAA).

The MSDN Academic Alliance program is available in more than 45 countries worldwide and it’s goals are:

1. To make it easier and less expensive for academic institutions to obtain Microsoft developer tools, platforms, and servers for instructional and research purposes.

2. To build a community of instructors who can share curriculum and other learning resources to support the use of these technologies.

Amazon is also another site that I’m using to shop around for discount deals on my educational material. Try them and you may just be able to get yourself some great deals, Amazon Student Deals

To me Twitter is a social media, where you get to ‘meet’ like minded people and build personal and mutually beneficial relationships. However Twitter can also be a great sales tool, judging from the articles I have read in different newspapers. Some business have seen increases in their sales through using Twitter. I have read articles which argue that Twitter should be used solely as a social networking site.

Businesses are using Twitter to broadcast their sales and marketing messages and some have seen growth in their sales figures. For example, Dell the computer company recently reported an increase in sales through using Twitter. And I’m sure there are many other businesses which have seen an increase sales.

But, should Twitter be used as a business tool? Or people should just stick to what Twitter is? A social Networking website? Use Twitter to build personal relationships.

However when you are in business, it’s all about profit….who can ignore such an opportunity to get more exposure and free advertising for your business? How can you ignore such an opportunity to make more sales?

I believe Twitter was going to be a very good purely social networking site, for those who want to follow what other people are doing. But business people saw the opportunity to make money. You got to be able to spot such opportunities if you are to succeed in business.

Maybe there is nothing wrong in social networking and discussing business at the same time. Feel free to share your views by posting your comments.

Amazon has just made it simpler to create text links directly from Amazon.com. With the new Amazon Site Stripe you just navigate to the product page you want to promote, in the Stripe Bar click the ‘Link to this Page’ link, then you customize and get your HTML link.

This makes adding links from any page or to any product much easier than before, all while you’re browsing the Amazon.com site.

That’s what I call making life easier for affiliates.

Church leaders and MPs have attacked Google for allowing gambling firms to advertise on it’s website for the first time. Bookmakers and online casinos can now buy sponsored links on the search engine in Britain. Some of the problems cited are people getting addicted to gambling and the effect ths has on families. But is there anything wrong in gambling companies advertising on Google?

There are so many ways companies can advertise on the Internet. And I have seen so many affiliate programs for casino companies which anyone can find easy on the Internet. As more people look for opportunities to make money online, many more are joining affiliate marketing, which means even if gamblong companies do not use Google there are other advertisers willing to push their products to web surfers.

However it is also true many people do use Google and chances are these casinos and bookmakers will get more customers from search engine marketing.

Google said ads would be regulated and also carry links to gambling addiction sites. But isn’t it time people take responsibility for their actions and stop blamming someone else?

Most most people selling online use Google Adwords for their Pay Per Click ad campaigns, but you can significantly increase your reach if you include Yahoo! search marketing in you PPC ad campaigns.
