A month ago, a guy named Dan Schawbel emailed me and asked for a 500 word article for this personal branding magazine – I get invitations like that from time to time, nothing unusual.

Suddenly, my dad got into the scene “That’s great, I’ve heard about Dan before.”

(My dad’s PC is beside my laptop so from time to time, he peeks when I’m reading mails – he always points out the big names *LOL*)

But reading further down his email, I felt something struck my gut when I read that I’m gonna be writing on a magazine where Gary Vaynerchuk, Donald Trump and Jack Welch has written on.

So I setted my priorities straight and whipped out an article… and there I am.

Check out the Personal Branding Mag, it’ll be available on February 1st.

Today, I was sitting at my computer desk trying thinking of something to blog about. I sat around for quite some time trying to think of something but nothing came to my mind. Then I finally thought of something. I thought I should write a post of ideas to blog about when you have no clue what you want to blog about.

It’s worth mentioning first of all, that looking for the cheapest price is definitely not the way to select your ghostwriter – unless you’re working on an Adsense site where content doesn’t matter and  you’re only concerned about Adsense clicks.

If you need 10 articles (500 words) to be ghostwritten, and the ghostwriter charges $5 for each article, that would mean he will earn $50. But it takes him a minimum of 3 hours to finish them. Why would anyone work 3 hours for $50?

Last week, Alvin Phang, interviewed me. It’s really a candid interview and it’s never been practiced so sorry if there’s a hiccup from time to time *LOL*.

Alvin’s good with the ladies as many of you may know, but other than that he sure knows how to grill – he made me spit out my top 5 ways to drive traffic, how I made it on top of Google, the best monetization tactic I use on my blog and a ton of personal stories on how I got started.

Without further ado, here it is folks…

If you’ve been using PayPal for a while, you’ve probably come accross a number of “PayPal horror stories” by PayPal users who got “back stabbed” by PayPal’s poor seller protection, and customer support. This has caused websites like AboutPayPal.org, PayPalWarning.com, and PayPalSucks.com to emerge.
