NEW METHOD: Monetize your content with best adsense alternative


Wouldn’t it be amazing if you earn money from your written content without placing any banner ads? How it would be if your blog becomes automatic money making machine? Do you write high quality blog post benefit your readers or is blogging your hobby then you would be glad to know that you can make extra money by just implementing viglink on your blog and the complete money making process is automated.


Instead of signing up on different affiliate programs and inserting affiliate links manually it is better use viglink which will automatically place affiliate links on your blog from a thousands of affiliate programs related to your niche.


Let me get more simple here, VigLink is an ad network with which you can monetize the links present on your website. Not only you can monetize the links present on your website but you can even let VigLink to select keywords from your website and convert them into revenue generating links.


What monetization methods VigLink Offers ?


VigLink offers 3 methods to monetize your links:
VigLink Convert: If you have VigLink script installed on your website and VigLink convert is active then all the external links (links pointing to other websites) will be converted into affiliate links. Also, if you have broken links, suppose, you write somewhere www.google.com and you forgot to link it then VigLink will also convert this broken link into affiliate link.
VigLink Insert: VigLink insert is my favorite method as it selects the keywords from your content and makes them affiliate links. It is somewhat different from the other in-text advertising networks like Infolinks, Clicksor, InfinityAds etc, as here on hovering the mouse over these links no advertisement appears.
 VigLink Anywhere: Viglink anywhere allows you to monetize not only your blog's content but also your social media profiles. This unique feature enables you to share your commercial link across all social networks and other publishing platforms. You may tweet, post an update on Facebook or share on other social networks with your commercial link and you will receive a commission once  somebody buys something through your affiliate link. This is the coolest feature of viglink which I love , you can earn even without a blog!


Viglinks links look like other genuine links present on your website and do not affect the user experience. People click these links thinking they are clicking the normal links. These links are content driven, so, there’s no need to worry about anything. You can even track the websites where these links are sending the traffic.


Benefits Of VigLinks:
  • You don’t lose any space on your website.
  • You can use Viglinks with Adsense to earn extra income
  • You can monetize your external links and insert affiliate links with no headache.
  • Get rid of using lots of affiliate programs, suppose you are using 3-4 affiliate programs like Amazon, eBay etc so, you are required to reach minimum payout for all of them to request your payment. But with VigLink, you will be getting all the income on your single account and there is no minimum payout, so, whatever you have in your account will be paid on the payments day.
  • All level publishers can join VigLink.
  • No annoying banner , popup, popunder ads!
  • You can monetize indian traffic - Viglink supports many indian affiliate programs
  •  Very easy to install on many types of platforms including blogger, wordress (simply download the viglink plugin), typepad, and forums, here is short video guide about viglink:



And at the end i want to share my earnings from viglinks to motivate you, my blog has low traffic, around 500 unique visitors/day


6 Best Marketplace To Sell Your Logo Fast and Easy -Imma_nike

We should accept that every freelancer or design agency lacked at least once any client. These situations shouldn’t scare anyone, even the best designers faced similar cases. On the other hand, lacking the clients shouldn’t be a reason to be happy! Any designer should be aware that no work is equivalent with no money to pay the bills. We previously mentioned the necessity for every designer to have some savings for the periods when lacking clients…easy to say, but hard to apply. Much more, we offered you a good solution of income – selling logo templates.
Our readers enjoyed very much the article and we consequently dug deeper into the problem and here we will present some useful tips to create selling logo templates and also a list of marketplaces where everyone may sell their works. Generally speaking, templates are still disregarded by many people and the common mentality is that only poor designers are passionate about them. The truth is that, indeed, many amateur designers try to make a part of their income by selling templates and the majority of these templates are decent. Recently, the quality of templates raised and many designers seem to take into consideration this activity. The result is obvious, the marketplaces are full with well-designed templates and the clients’ number is exponentially growing. Briefly, the template industry is turning into a very profitable entity for both designers and clients.
The competition is very harsh; as a result it’s mandatory to offer extremely qualitative works. The marketplaces focused on logo templates follow the same pattern, so if you want to sell logo templates and make money out of this activity, quality is a must! People need serious online identities and a good template would be always appreciated and of course, bought! I hope that you noticed – “a good logo template”!
So, if you really want to make money from templates, these must be extremely attractive, else it’s a lost cause!
A good logo template is impossible not to be remarked and eventually bought, but the quicker is it sold, the best for logo designer! Logically thinking, any designer selling templates should try to sell more and faster! How to do… the answer is simple and if you consult regularly our blog, then you already know the solution! Marketing is very important and in order to sell logos, it’s capital to have a solid strategy in this respect. Wiling or not, marketing is not enough!
Here are presented some tips that will help you in creating more selling templates!

#1. Study the trends

Flat design was the trend of the year and it seems that everyone is content with this approach. Any designer knows that flatness supposes simplicity, focus on content and typography- “content before chrome”! As long as flat design excludes the use of gradients, then is highly recommended to avoid using this solution.
The same idea should be applied with any passing trend. It’s true that trends come and go, but when web designers are desperately searching for some types of logos, it’s a big mistake not to offer them what they need.

#2. Check the portfolios of other logo sellers

Checking the portfolios of other logo sellers isn’t equivalent with stealing logos/ideas from them! Instead, it’s fair and even recommended to learn from the best ones! In conclusion, when lacking inspiration it is a good idea to check what other designers created and try to “extract” the ideas and techniques used!

#3. Periodically check what kind of logos are the best sellers

It’s no mistake to consider selling logos as a business. From this perspective, it’s obvious that studying the market and the clients is mandatory. Definitely, a logo designer should study what the clients buy more in order to provide them what they need. Studying the clients ‘preferences is not a big deal, but the conclusions may help in making better sells!
Finally, here are the best markets available for selling logos! All of them are good opportunities and anyone interested in selling logos should check themselves to see which one is more suitable for their requirements.

1. BrandCrowd

Best Logo Marketplaces
Brand Crowd is a famous marketplace and here are uploaded only the best logo templates. Honestly, I visited this website for more than twenty minutes and I didn’t realize when the time passed, the logos uploaded all look extremely beautiful. Everything is at the superlative level; I guess that the opinion of Zeeteegee, a designer selling logos here is relevant. “I’ll never forget that day I sold a logo for $1,000. Without your rigorous approval system, I’d never improve.”

2. 99designs

Best Logo Marketplaces
99 Designs is well-known for logo competitions- a bunch of designers “fights” to provide to a client the best logo; unfortunately only one designer receives the prize. Many cool logos weren’t bought by clients and to be able to gain some money, the designers have now the option of selling them using 99 Designs logo store. Each logo templates costs 99$, so it’s a “destination” that should be bookmarked.

3. GraphicRiver

Best Logo Marketplaces
It is part of the Envato Network and any designer knows that it’s a clear sign that Graphic River is an exclusivist place. Here you may sell logos but also any type of graphical products. The competition is very harsh, there are only top designers.

4. IdentityCrowd

Best Logo Marketplaces
Identity Crowd is another marketplace where one can sell logo templates. The minimum price is 100$ for a logo, but the website owners will give to the designer only 65% from the money received by selling a logo.

5. StockLogos.com

Best Logo Marketplaces
Some people believe that numbers have no relevance, but in this case I consider that it’s revealing the potential of Stock logos: more than 81000 members, almost 50 000 logos and the amount of money transacted – 1, 300,000$. Do not waste your time and become part of this numerous community.

6. designonclick.com

Best Logo Marketplaces
Design on Click isn’t so famous as the previous websites, but it doesn’t mean that a good logo template won’t be bought here. It is very similar to 99designs, so you may participate in logo tournaments as well.
I hope that I convinced you to try getting into this business and that this information was useful for you. I am waiting for your opinion and don’t forget to share the post with your friends!

Paranoid Android 7.2.0 Improves Color Engine, Adds Accidental Touch Protection, and Supports Even More Devices-IMMA_NIKE

Just a little more than a month ago, Paranoid Android made a grand reentrance to the ROMing world with builds of the ROM built off of 7.1.2 Nougat. Paranoid Android introduced a heap of new features with its last version, and the fine folks over at the PA team are back at it again with their latest release. The ROM is still based off of Android 7.1.2, but the version for PA is now 7.2.0.
The dev team behind Paranoid Android have been hard at work on this new build over the past month, and a lot of time has been spent eliminating pesky bugs, improving existing features, adding new ones, and introducing support for even more devices.
Paranoid Android’s crew has been lurking through Google+ and other platforms to track any and all user complaints from the previous build, and as such, any bugs that were present in PA 7.1.2 should now be a thing of the past with the 7.2.0 version. Furthermore, a lot of the new features that have been added were done as a result of what the community was asking for!

New Features in 7.2.0

  • Double tap on status bar to sleep device
  • Screen off action for button settings
  • Fixed navigation bar swiping gesture
  • Improved notification light performance
  • PA Browser is now based on M60
  • Fix for pulse on pickup bug
  • Various fixes for contact handling with Google apps
  • Removed bugs causing Bluetooth connectivity issues
  • Improved lighting for hardware navigation keys
  • Higher quality stock wallpapers
  • Optimized speed for fingerprint unlock
  • Fixed message when rebooting your phone or putting it into recovery mode
  • Enhancements for device performance
  • Power-related enhancements
  • Numerous other improvements and fixes that you’ll notice the more you use the ROM
Changes specifically for the OnePlus 3/3T
  • Resolved camera crashes
  • Fixed manual ISO control issue
  • Better post-processing for photos using custom HAL camera
  • Improved performance and accuracy for GPS
  • Improved power and performance for Wi-Fi
  • Optimized NFC toggling speed
  • Resolved errors for specific VoLTE setups
  • Automatic brightness tuning has been reworked
  • Added fix for LID support
  • Numerous performance improvements
  • Better memory management
  • Fixed the known idle drain issue
  • Multiple power-related enhancements
Changes specifically for Google Pixel/Pixel XL
  • Fixed crashes with the Google camera
  • Fixed NFC tile
  • Kernel has been updated to latest EAS upstream
  • Merged latest security patches
  • Backported changes from the Android O Developer Preview
  • Better memory management when device is under pressure

Accidental Touch

Games for Android have gotten extremely good over the years, but while graphics have gotten more life-like and gameplay has become more intuitive, one issue has remained among all of this development – accidentally pressing the navigation buttons during the middle of an intense gaming session. Buzzkill!
This is a very common issue to stumble upon, and it’s especially true when playing games that have your fingers flying all over your screen. Thankfully, Accidental Touch aims to fix this once and for all. Accidental Touch is a feature that allows your phone to recognize when the touchscreen is being used, and when it is both on-screen and hardware navigation buttons will switch to an inactive state.
While most useful when playing games, Accidental Touch could also come in handy while messaging friends, browsing the Web, or scrolling through Twitter. Anytime you’re using the touchscreen, accidentally grazing over your nav buttons won’t send you flying back to your home screen when you didn’t intend to do so. It’s a simple feature, but it’s one that proves to be extremely useful in regular day-to-day use.

Pocket Lock

Another feature that aims to reduce accidental inputs on your device is Pocket Lock. However, unlike Accidental Touch that prevents input when using your phone, Pocket Lock helps to minimize on accidental device use when your phone is in your pocket.
Pocket Lock works by, “switching off major input sources and consuming additional exceptional inputs.” The feature works very similarly to OxygenOS’s Pocket Mode, as the screen will essentially go inactive if the phone notices that anything is covering ambient light sensors typically found near the top of your phone.

Color Engine Improvements

Color Engine was first introduced with PA 7.1.2, and it allows you to change your phone’s primary and accent colors throughout the user interface. The Color Engine still works in the same fashion as it did with the previous Paranoid Android builds, but you’ll now be able to use a new gray color option as both a primary and accent color.
Furthermore, all known compatibility issues that existed with the Substratum Theme Engine have been addressed as well.

Shuttle+

Lastly, Paranoid Android has partnered with the makers of Shuttle+ to bring the music app to all devices running PA. Shuttle+ is a great-looking app with a lot of features to play around with, including:
  • Ability to Google Cast songs to your TV
  • Directly embedded lyrics
  • Scrobbling to Last.fm
  • Editing for ID3 tags
  • Batch playlist creation
  • Custom themes
  • And plenty more
The Nextbit Robin is one of many new devices supported by PA 7.2.0

Newly Supported Devices

Paranoid Android 7.1.2 launched with a pretty impressive device roster last month, and even more smartphones and tablets have been added with this latest release. The full list of new devices that are now officially supported with PA 7.2.0 include:
  • bacon – OnePlus One
  • onyx – OnePlus X
  • gemini – Xiaomi Mi5
  • shamu – Nexus 6
  • Robin – Nextbit Robin
  • zl1 – LeEco Le Pro3
If you own a Sony Xperia smartphone and are bummed out that there’s still no official support for any of Sony’s devices, the PA team hasn’t forgotten about you! It’s currently impossible for the Paranoid Android team to support every single Sony device out there, so in an attempt to make sure that all time and resources are spent as effectively and efficiently as possible, you can vote for which Xperia devices you’d like to see supported by PA in the near future. There’s currently no word as to when PA support will head to Sony phones, but the Paranoid Android team has confirmed that they’ll release builds for the Xperia phones that receive the most votes.

OTA Updates

Following the release of Paranoid Android 7.1.2, there were numerous device-specific issues reported. While users were likely expecting OTA updates to resolve said issues, the Paranoid Android team was unable to push these out as Paranoid Hub (the OTA update system for PA) was broken at the time. Paranoid Android 7.2.0 features a working version of Paranoid Hub, so the PA team will now be able to push out OTA updates if/when there are device-specific features and fixes that need to be added.

Hands On With Paranoid Android 7.2.0

We were able to play around with a pre-release build for Paranoid Android 7.2.0, and the screenshots below have all been taken from said build.
Paranoid Android 7.2.0 seems to be a great update to what was introduced last month with 7.1.2. The changes that have been made are a touch more conservative than what we saw with the previous release, but when you add together all of the bug fixes and new features that have been added, there really is a lot to love.

5G Technology: Which Country Will Be the First to Adapt? -IMMA_NIKE

5G Technology: Which Country Will Be the First to Adapt?




Countries that want to stay competitive in the global economy are adapting 5G technology. Because technology affects nearly all aspects of life, countries need to stay current with technological developments to improve the lives of their citizens and continue evolving in the global economy. Here are six countries that are leaders in adapting to 5G technology.

The United States

The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Spectrum Frontiers Order has laid the groundwork for the use of 5G technology in the United States by 2020. The next generation of technology provides a greater amount of spectrum for wireless communication, smaller sizes of wireless cells, and more modulation schemes, letting greater numbers of wireless users share the spectrum. 5G technology offers at least one gigabit per second for connection speeds, shorter delays than 4G technology, and millimeter wave (mmW) bands for supporting applications requiring large capacity.
In July 2016, the FCC began creating rules for 5G technology, making the United States the first country opening high-band spectrum for the technology. Because the spectrum bands are available for licensed, unlicensed and shared users, more than four times the amount of spectrum is available for flexible use than in previous years. Also, 15 times more unlicensed spectrum is available for users than in previous years.

) are already developing and testing 5G components. Verizon plans to start implementing limited commercial use of 5G technology in 2017.

South Korea

South Korean carrier KT Corp. (ADR) (NYSE: KT

) plans to launch a 5G network during the Winter Olympics in 2018. The company completed a successful trial of a system from NEC Corp. (TYO: 6701) using extremely high frequencies for transmitting data at up to 3.2 Gbps (gigabits per second) in the Taebaek Mountains, where the 2018 Olympics will take place. NEC’s iPasolink EX ultra-compact microwave system links between LTE (long-term evolution) base stations to enable telecommunication, which is much easier than laying fiber for the links. The microwave system conveys data at frequencies of 70 to 80 GHz, which keeps more signal going through the air than other systems and uses a form of encoding that lets more data be transmitted.

Sweden and Estonia

Swedish-Finnish operator Telia Company AB (STO: TELIA) and Swedish provider Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC

Telefon Ericsson Shs -B- Sponsored American Deposit Shares Repr 1 Sh -B-
ERIC

) state that Stockholm, Sweden and Tallinn, Estonia will also use 5G technology in 2018. Digitalization of industries and the Internet of Things (IoT) will mostly benefit technology companies at first, but ultimately the technology will benefit the public through new services and applications. For example, 5G technology will control self-driving cars and robots working in mines, which are two areas that current infrastructure cannot support. Also, citizens living in more country-like areas will have higher bandwidth and better communication capabilities.

Turkey

Turkey’s 5GTR Forum, consisting of mobile network companies, Turkish public institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and domestic producers, is facilitating a faster transition to 5G technology by 2020. Through working together, the organizations share information and ideas to make Turkey one of the first countries to implement the technology and keep its citizens informed on its progress. Once implemented, 5G technology will connect people, transportation, objects and cities at higher speeds and with fewer delays, using the same infrastructure.
Turkey’s goal in implementing 5G technology is providing affordable technological services to its citizens and increasing domestic production through research and development (R&D). Turkish organizations are required to participate in R&D studies and help establish infrastructure as part of utilizing the technology. Additionally, the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology is studying ways the country may use domestic hardware, software and other mobile communication products.

Japan

Japan’s goal is to launch 5G mobile service in 2020. The country’s communication ministry is meeting with Japan’s three biggest carriers, NTT Docomo Inc. (ADR) (NYSE: DCM

NTT DOCOMO Shs Sponsored American Deposit Receipt Repr 1 Sh

), KDDI Corp. (TYO: 9433) and SoftBank Group Corp. (TYO: 9984), as well as private-sector manufacturers of handset and base stations such as Panasonic Corp. (TYO: 6752), Fujitsu Ltd. (TYO: 6702) and Sharp Corp. (TYO: 6753), to discuss the results of continuing R&D of 5G technology.

Japan’s communication ministry states that 5G technology will be close to 100 times faster than LTE, which is used most often throughout the country, and 10 times faster than 4G technology. Implementing 5G technology will help integrate high-resolution-video services streaming in 4K and 8K, which need substantial amounts of bandwidth.

China

China is set to have 5G technology commercially available in 2020. However, because Chinese authorities control the implementation of the technology, the process may be slow. The implementation of 4G technology did not occur until late 2013, many years after Korea, Japan, the United States and other nations had 4G technology.
Many people are questioning which Chinese telecommunications companies will receive 5G network licenses. China Mobile Ltd. (ADR) (NYSE: CHL
