Article Writing Preparation

Writing articles could be somehow a boring one. Sometime, people have a mental block when trying to write an  article for their blog. Continuation of idea is very important in writing the best article. Your article reflect who you are in the Internet world. People could only see your name or face, but in reality, they do not know who you are. Letting a great idea just flew away is not a good sign. So, here I will share with you the secrets on how to get the best ideas for your blog using a mehtod you have already used but you may not realized it. All were comply under article writing preparation technique.

Keep a journal all the time

Idea come and go. We would not know when it will come. So, the best method is to bring along your journal and pen all the time. Some people claim , their best idea came when they are in the bathroom ( me too). Some of them had an idea when waiting for bus to arrive. They are many ways people get an idea. As a blogger, you would not want those idea going to waste. For me, I am always bring along a small note book and pen, in case there are some  brilliant ideas being generated in my mind, I can easily jot it down. You never know.

Journal

Inspiring Workplace

Inspiring workplace is a must for every blogger. It ignites the sense of relaxing and tranquility. You can generate new idea in a place where you feel really relax. It will also boost your creativity. Like what they said, creativity exist in an inspiring workplace. It is up to you to design the inspiring workplace. Some people feel blue color  make them feel inspire. Others prefer a green forest design workplace. So, it is all up to you

Find your trigger button

Inspiring workplace is important but mood booster is even more important. I’m not talking about some pills that can boost your mood or memory or anything like that. Some well known journalist use cigarette to lift heir mood. Others consume a lot of alcohol to get mood motivating. The bottom  line is that, configure it yourself. What do you do most when you feel stressed, that thing, may be you trigger btton

Relaxing is rewarding

Often you find yourself  really stress. You can’t even write a single sentence. You did not know what to write. You are experiencing brain drain. You are in a state of mental block. That seems familiar to me So what can you do  to relax, take a deep breath. Think something that you like the most. Maybe a vacation to  Bali or Taj Mahal. Think something that is totally different about the topic that you are going to write. It will give you a mental stability and relax mind. Mind relaxing could boost your productivity. After each relaxation session, take a glass of water and start generating idea again.

Relax

Hope you can get the most of today post.

Choosing domain name for your blog

Building a website should be plan wisely. From the beginning until the end, you must do a thorough planning. The first thing you need to do is choosing your domain name. Name determines your web presence. Without a proper name, or maybe misleading name, your website will be just another web in the Internet. Nothing special about it. Great and proper name will goes a long way. Website name such as facebook, yahoo and Google are few of the greatest website names in the world. They are simple name, but it is easy to understand and memorized.

In this topic, I will share with you on how to plan a website names:

1. Short name is better than longer one
2. If you want to combine two words together, make it easy to pronounced and remembered
3. Your website name should be easy to spell. Do not use words such as prequirsting or equilargiey
4. If you have the budget, use the .com or . net extension. If you have a strict budget, .info is still okay.
5. List down relevant keywords and corporate them into domain name.

There is no point in choosing a domain name without finding the best web name providers. Personally, I prefer GoDaddy.com because the simplicity and on going promotion make you want to visit this website everyday. Here are the lists of website name providers that you can choose:

1. GoDaddy.com
2. 5Hosts.com
3. TopHosts.com
4. HostingChecker.com
5. NetworkSolutions.com
6. HostingReview.com
7. Microsoft Office Live Small Business

Domain name

Remember, planning is very important if you want to make a great website.
