Things you may need to know about BLOGGING

Source: Webtexttool.com

Today, there are over 150 million blogs on the Internet, which makes for pretty big growth. Without a doubt, Google has made the Blogger and WordPress as a platform for users to create their own blog site easily and without costs. Blogger is highly attractive for its completely free model – there are no restrictions, if Blogger can do it, so can you.

Hereby, I would like to share some benefits of blogging for the everyday person. Do you aware of Blog can actually be an online profile?

 With companies linked to the technology niche, it is common practice to research the online profiles of prospective job candidates for position vacancies, allowing companies to execute a more targeted search for talent and recruit experienced applicants. Because of this, blogging can be an asset to job applicants and employees who want to showcase their portfolio, work experience, and knowledge.

According to this article, the only way to become a better writer is to write – pages and pages, day after day. It’s no doubt that writing a blog could help to improve one’s writing skills. There are only two ways to become a better writer – either by reading voraciously or by writing regularly. We know that an active blogger will regularly produce thousands of works of content each week. The more you write, the more organized and on-point your thinking and analysis will be.

Last but not shell, there is one good thing I like about Blogger platform is that it might allow you to make some pocket money. One gains a good exposure of their blog content besides being able to enjoy a profit from monetising the site with Google ads. Google ads are one of the most profitable website ads out there that you are able to maximise your profits by creating good contents on your blog site with better exposure and traffic for monetisation.

Mobile Banking and Commerce

The rapid technological advances in mobile-based technologies have created opportunities for new and innovative mobile services. Some of the most promising, while still marginally adopted, is mobile banking. Many commercial banks in Malaysia have tried to introduce mobile banking systems to improve their operations and reduce costs because bank branches alone are no longer adequate to provide banking services to cater the needs of demanding customers. Therefore, the provision of banking services through mobile banking has provided an alternative means to acquire banking services very convenience and timely to bank customers.

In May 2009, Maybank became the first financial institution in Malaysia to introduce a free banking application, M2UMap on the newly launch iPhone. Later, CIMB Clicks was introduced by CIMB Bank Berhad which went on to be the most popular and widely used banking app in Malaysia. Ostensibly, almost all the bank in Malaysia offers mobile banking services.

While mobile banking apps let us pay our bills, check account balances and deposit checks right from our smartphones – all of which can save trips to the bank and make life a bit easier. However, security concerns about using these apps abound and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
For your information, mobile banking is still a relatively new practice that carries numerous risks, from the presence of malware on apps, fake banking apps created by fraudsters, data hacking on public Wi-Fi networks, and all the issues that can arise if you lose your smartphone.

Waze - no need to worry on the journey!

An apps that can bring you anywhere you want. Before your journey starts, enter the destination's name and choose the routes.

The best thing of this apps is that it will bring you to the shortest and fastest routes when you are in a heavy traffic jam. From time to time, you can earn points and get some cute character.

It helps a lot for those who cannot remember the way when driving. However, it's dangerous when we're using it in our journey. It is because there are so many alerts keep showing up when you're using the apps. Also, many of us will pick up the phone when there is some incoming message or calls.  According to the law, we should not use/holding our phone when driving.

So, please concentrate on the road and not the phone.

Snapchat

Snapchat is a video messaging application which users can take photo or record video and send to the recipients. This application makes people easier to contact with others instead of messaging or calling. Sender can set the time limit to view the photo and believe the pictures are destroyed within few seconds of viewing. Although it is able to set the limit of photo viewing, people still can screenshot to save the photos.
