An effective content marketing blog strategy can help you acquire the target audience and improve search engine optimization, or SEO. In fact, this type of marketing is often overlooked by many new bloggers looking to SEO their content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Content promotion is the foremost contributor to off-page SEO. As you can see, it can be beneficial to your blog in multiple ways. Let&#39;s take a look at how you can increase you blog&#39;s exposure via content marketing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Creating Quality Content Matters&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before you can begin the distribution process of content marketing blog articles, there is an often overlooked step you must perform initially. Far too often, especially among those who are solely looking for SEO juice, bloggers overlook the importance of creating valuable content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This type of marketing is essentially the process of getting to your targeted audience without selling them anything. This is done by providing relevant, informative, and attractive content. Creating high quality content is half the battle when content marketing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Social Media Platforms&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you are probably aware, social media platforms are among the busiest websites online today. Countless users access these websites daily to interact with friends, access news, and entertain themselves. By creating high quality sharable content, you are on your way to effectively marketing your blog content via social media.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While creating sharable content is a great way to increase exposure by potentially going viral, it is necessary to learn to target your audience. In other words, your marketing strategy is not going to be useful if you simply create a profile and start posting. You need to target people with certain interests and relevant fan pages and groups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It should also be noted that social media marketing can be a very time-consuming process. Luckily there are social media marketing automation tools that can alleviate the stress of this process. By using these type of programs, you can schedule your social media posts and focus your marketing efforts elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;High PR Article Directories&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article directories such as EzineArticles are potent sources for article marketing for multiple reasons. These article directories essentially serve as blogging communities in which authors and readers alike read and share content relevant to their interests or niche. This alone is reason enough to start posting high quality content on article directory websites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition, posting content in these article directories can help your blog&#39;s SEO efforts. While there are a seemingly limitless number of article directories online today, not all of them are created equal. Among this hoard of directories are high PR article directories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What does this mean for SEO?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When posting content in high PR article directories, authors are allowed to include backlinks to their blog or another article they&#39;ve written&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://yoo.rs/&quot;&gt;https://yoo.rs/&lt;/a&gt;. Google considers these high PR backlinks to be very valuable. By consistently posting articles in high PR article directories, you are dramatically increasing an article chance of being found on an initial Google search results page. While there are not the only content marketing blog help strategies, they are among the most effective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Repurposing content for the web is the process of reusing your old content over and over again, in such a way that you give it a new appearance, so that it seems like fresh content. If you find it hard to keep coming up with new content all the time, you will be pleased to know that there are many simple ways of reusing your old content, and here we take a look at some of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the oldest and most popular ways of repurposing content for the web would be to turn it into an eBook. This has the advantage of allowing you to take your content to the visitor, rather than having to find a way of getting your visitors to the content. By this I mean that it is so much easier to allow people to share and copy your ebooks than it is to get traffic to an individual website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ebooks can be created simply by using Google Docs at docs.google.com or Open Office at Openoffice.org for example. Once you have your content, just copy and paste it into Google Docs then use the &quot;Print&quot; command and save the PDF file which is created to give it away later if you want to go for a viral marketing effect, or else sell the content. With open office simply export your chosen content as PDF format.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sites such as Scribd.com, for example, allow you to upload ebooks to give away, and get a huge audience, so they will be a valuable resource to you if you plan on repurposing content for the web using ebooks. But there are other ways of creating ebooks, and this is where it starts to get exciting!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have access to Microsoft PowerPoint (or again, Open Office which is free) you can create slides of your content (again just copy and paste your old content in) and these slides can then be uploaded to various websites such as slideshare.net. You are still not creating any new content, just reusing all your currently existing content in a manner that can open it up to a whole new audience!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now from your slide presentations&#39;, you have the option of recording the presentation using free screen capture recording software such as that at CamStudio.org. Some of the free screen capture recording software might be somewhat limited in its usability, but then you do have the option of recording your entire presentation, and then simply editing it together better after you have finished recording.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The free Windows Movie Maker software from Microsoft is an excellent resource in both editing and producing your finished video, in various formats. It is at this point that repurposing content for the web starts to really take off, as you now have video content that you can either sell (we will come to that option momentarily) or use as free content on the many video submission sites out there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;YouTube (amongst many other video sharing sites) will be immensely valuable to you if you plan on giving away your content as free videos. The number of views, and therefore potential traffic, can be huge. There are many people now that use YouTube as a search engine in itself - as in they search for whatever they are looking for directly within YouTube itself, rather than searching in Google first and clicking through from any videos displayed there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As mentioned above if you plan on repurposing content for the web in video format you have two options, firstly giving away any content created as free content, and secondly as selling such content. At first glance the second option might sound too complicated, but there are actually simple steps to take in order to make this happen, and we will take a look at this next.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you have your video content, all you need to do is upload it to a website called Kunaki.com, and they can create a DVD complete with a DVD case, case insert and case outer cover that is finally shrink wrapped and ready for easy sale on Amazon. You can either manually login daily and arrange for any DVD&#39;s you sell to be sent off to the buyer, or you can have the whole thing setup to happen automatically between Amazon and PayPal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course before you take this step you will also need to have the design for the actual DVD disc, the design for the DVD case insert and the design for the DVD case outer cover, but all of these can be created for you on sites such as Elance.com or even Fiverr.com, so its not such a big leap to take in order to do this for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally it&#39;s worth mentioning that no matter how old you content is, it&#39;s still almost certainly worth reusing. If you have old articles, press releases, blog posts and even classified ads out there that are still relevant and that you can even still find and are 100% your own content, then you can still copy and paste them into a text editor, tweak them if need be, then as described above and in the format of your choice start repurposing content for the web!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/feeds/5710557866344021966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/07/what-is-content-marketing-targeting.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/5710557866344021966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/5710557866344021966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/07/what-is-content-marketing-targeting.html' title='What Is Content Marketing?: Targeting an Audience'/><author><name>hgjghgj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10273007804606313168</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441525054130013824.post-3686761148683898545</id><published>2022-02-22T04:23:00.006-08:00</published><updated>2022-02-22T04:23:32.792-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Online News - Pros and Cons</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; When you want to find out about events coming up in your area, the weather, sports, politics, business, or any other area of interest, you should look for Online news that can keep you posted about this kind of thing. When you want to know about things going on in your area that you can enjoy with your friends and your family members, I think that you should go to the web site of a local entertainment publication and see if you can find the news you want to find on their calendar of events.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are curious for news about the weather, just head to a page that focuses on weather news and punch in your zip code; if you do that, you should get all the info you need to find out about what the weather is going to do over the coming days and weeks in next to no time at all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bitsecures.com&quot;&gt;bitsecures.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you have an event coming up or you are offering a new service, or something like that, you should post some Online news of your own so that the people who would be interested in your event, products, or services can find out more about it and take advantage of what you are offering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you need to know about Online news in regards to politics, then you should check out the web sites of some of the major world news networks so that you can find out what is going on in your country and internationally in terms of politics. There are lots of different sources of this type of info available to people like you, so I think that you should make sure to check out a few different ones before you decide on the source of news that you are going to visit consistently to keep informed about politics and world news. Once you find a good source of Online news, I think that you should refer it to your friends and family members who are interested in the same things that you are so that they can enjoy a good source of news as well. If you just take a second to shoot them an email to their in boxes, you can let them know about some of the great sources of Online news in no time flat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Online News - Pros and Cons&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The newspapers were hardly getting used to the news being telecast on the television, when all of a sudden the advent of the internet brought a crucial blow to the newspaper industry. Most of the newspapers have not been able to withstand the onslaught of the internet and have been forced into closure. Let us first see the basic difference between the newspapers and e-news.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pros of the online news&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The advantages of online news are mainly for the readers. Some of these advantages are as follows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The e-news is much faster than the newspapers. The moment something happens in any part of the world it gets published on the internet within seconds. In case of newspapers there is a specific time limit for any news to be reported in any particular newspaper. Suppose the newspaper goes for printing at midnight, anything that happens after midnight is going to most probably get published the next day. In these sorts of situation the newspaper offers stale news to the readers who have already accessed the online news.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any newspaper get published once, twice or maximum thrice a day. On the other hand e-news usually gets updated several times in 24 hours.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If one has accesses to the internet, one does not have to wait for the delivery man to deliver the newspaper.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E-news is considered to save paper and help at conservation of nature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cons of the online news&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The online news has some disadvantages but those are mainly for the newspaper publishers. The rates of subscriptions and advertisements are greatly reduced in case of online news. This implies that as the number of readers of online news increases the revenue generation of the newspaper publisher is falling drastically.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ways for the newspapers to survive&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are only a few ways that the newspapers can resort to for surviving the blow of the e-news. Some of the newspapers charge subscription to the readers that like to read more than what is offered for free. There is just a link for &quot;more&quot; which can be activated and operational after paying some subscription charges. If you do not pay the subscription the &quot;more&quot; link cannot be activated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of the newspaper publishers have realized that if they want the newspaper to survive they have to publish the newspaper in print as well as online on the internet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The iPad from Apple has brought some hope for the newspapers. There are applications that allow the iPad user to access the internet and the newspapers too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays it becomes necessary for the newspaper to make a unique offering to its readers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other way for the newspaper publishers to survive is through blogging. There are chances that levying subscription can reduce the revenue generated but at the same it is also seen that unique blogs can bring a lot of business to the newspaper publisher.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Using Online News Submissions to Gain Extra Visitors to Your Website&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It can be quite hard to compete with other websites when it comes to attracting internet users to a specific website. If the site is in a popular field, like cars for example, then the competition is high due to the amount of Google searches being carried out. However, if a less popular field is being targeted then it&#39;s difficult because not many people are searching for that specific field anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s good to use keywords, meta tags, and other SEO techniques, but what many people forget is how Google ranks certain sites on their search engine. Yes, they do take into account well-optimised content, but many people forget that updated and useful content is being increasingly used as the determining factor. And that&#39;s where online news submission comes in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What Happened?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the past, a smattering of SEO was enough to get one&#39;s website to the top of the list, but with the recent Google Panda updates and the changes to these algorithms, it&#39;s the content which is reigning supreme. And that&#39;s why online news distribution is the perfect way to get websites to the top of the Google rankings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Power of News&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s well-known that millions of people all around the world look to the internet when it comes to finding out about the world and the latest news associated with different parts of it. And, to Google, this is relevant and updated content. This is why online news distribution with a link in a resource box can really drive traffic to a specific website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But users who decide to take this route must make sure that they strike the balance between relevant news whilst minimising the competition. If it&#39;s a major news story then it&#39;s going to be carried by news websites all around the world, and that will make it impossible to make any impact on the Google rankings. But if it&#39;s not relevant then nobody will be searching for it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Personal or Directory Submission?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Personal submission is the use of press releases on the website which is attempting to have traffic driven to it. This is one of the best ways to bring traffic to a website, but the only issue is that this can only be used once. If it doesn&#39;t work and other sites are considered to be more valuable then this can be a real problem, especially if it&#39;s a major news story.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Online news submission to directories, on the other hand, allows users to submit similar press releases or articles to multiple websites. This means that more websites will be pointing to the desired website. Whilst this will certainly increase the Google ranking of a website, the only way to get people on the website is for them to actively decide to click through to that website. This means that people might decide to read the news on an external website but might not decide to click on the inserted link.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/feeds/3686761148683898545/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/02/online-news-pros-and-cons.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/3686761148683898545'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/3686761148683898545'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/02/online-news-pros-and-cons.html' title='Online News - Pros and Cons'/><author><name>hgjghgj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10273007804606313168</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441525054130013824.post-6143325361788123624</id><published>2022-02-22T04:23:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2022-02-22T04:23:21.867-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Online News</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;It can be quite hard to compete with other websites when it comes to attracting internet users to a specific website.

One of the latest buzz applications in the Internet marketing sector is Online News Submission.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What it basically is, is a company that will take your companies details, list of services, products, what you do, how you do it and where you are. Then they jazz your information up; send it through to the PR department, where a clever writer puts together a sensational, but informative press release about your company. Once you have approved the press release, they go live and upload it to the web, through thousands of internet portals and online news services all over the world and immediately your product has reached millions it wouldn&#39;t have been able to otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not only do the companies prepare your complete press release, part of their package is Online News Distribution, so without you having to search for platforms about where to release your news article, part of their service is that they do all of that for you. They already have a well connected data base of outlets and an unprecedented ability to reach a diverse sector of journalists, bloggers, online news platforms, potential customers and buyers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It doesn&#39;t matter if you have never written a press release or news article before, you don&#39;t have to go and learn how to do that, or employ a copywriter or journalist to do so, an Online News Service Company will do all of that for you. It will be like employing an entire PR company to take on your media and news coverage without having to break the bank,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Social media, express media coverage, SEO submissions and national and international press are all platforms and sectors that a unique service like this will launch your company, services and brand from. By reaching the right people in the right sectors your brand will headline and reach the best people, the people that need to know.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All industries, sectors and professions can benefit from this kind of publicity. Small business and sole proprietors will be able to target audiences around the world, with the launch of a few strategic press releases that will reach a niche target market. Think about how we search for businesses, companies and services today. Do we haul out a service directory; look them up in our local telephone directory? No, we search for them online, using multiple search engines to get a variety of sources.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once we have made a short list of our preferences we then search social media and social media forums to get the good, the bad and the ugly references and opinions from consumers that have tried and bought and let the world know what it is that they thought. Doesn&#39;t it make sense then to use an online news submission type company that will take care of all your PR needs, and then strategically place your information in the right hands using online news distribution methods? Can you actually afford not to?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Online News - Pros and Cons&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The newspapers were hardly getting used to the news being telecast on the television, when all of a sudden the advent of the internet brought a crucial blow to the newspaper industry. Most of the newspapers have not been able to withstand the onslaught of the internet and have been forced into closure. Let us first see the basic difference between the newspapers and e-news.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pros of the online news&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The advantages of online news are mainly for the readers. Some of these advantages are as follows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The e-news is much faster than the newspapers. The moment something happens in any part of the world it gets published on the internet within seconds. In case of newspapers there is a specific time limit for any news to be reported in any particular newspaper. Suppose the newspaper goes for printing at midnight, anything that happens after midnight is going to most probably get published the next day. In these sorts of situation the newspaper offers stale news to the readers who have already accessed the online news.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any newspaper get published once, twice or maximum thrice a day. On the other hand e-news usually gets updated several times in 24 hours.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If one has accesses to the internet, one does not have to wait for the delivery man to deliver the newspaper.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E-news is considered to save paper and help at conservation of nature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cons of the online news&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The online news has some disadvantages but those are mainly for the newspaper publishers. The rates of subscriptions and advertisements are greatly reduced in case of online news. This implies that as the number of readers of online news increases the revenue generation of the newspaper publisher is falling drastically.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ways for the newspapers to survive&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are only a few ways that the newspapers can resort to for surviving the blow of the e-news. Some of the newspapers charge subscription to the readers that like to read more than what is offered for free. There is just a link for &quot;more&quot; which can be activated and operational after paying some subscription charges. If you do not pay the subscription the &quot;more&quot; link cannot be activated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of the newspaper publishers have realized that if they want the newspaper to survive they have to publish the newspaper in print as well as online on the internet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The iPad from Apple has brought some hope for the newspapers. There are applications that allow the iPad user to access the internet and the newspapers too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays it becomes necessary for the newspaper to make a unique offering to its readers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other way for the newspaper publishers to survive is through blogging. There are chances that levying subscription can reduce the revenue generated but at the same it is also seen that unique blogs can bring a lot of business to the newspaper publisher.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Online News&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you want to find out about events coming up in your area, the weather, sports, politics, business, or any other area of interest, you should look for Online news that can keep you posted about this kind of thing. When you want to know about things going on in your area that you can enjoy with your friends and your family members, I think that you should go to the web site of a local entertainment publication and see if you can find the news you want to find on their calendar of events.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are curious for news about the weather, just head to a page that focuses on weather news and punch in your zip code; if you do that, you should get all the info you need to find out about what the weather is going to do over the coming days and weeks in next to no time at all. If you have an event coming up or you are offering a new service, or something like that, you should post some Online news of your own so that the people who would be interested in your event, products, or services can find out more about it and take advantage of what you are offering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you need to know about Online news in regards to politics, then you should check out the web sites of some of the major world news networks so that you can find out what is going on in your country and internationally in terms of politics. There are lots of different sources of this type of info available to people like you, so I think that you should make sure to check out a few different ones before you decide on the source of news that you are going to visit consistently to keep informed about politics and world news. Once you find a good source of Online news, I think that you should refer it to your friends and family members who are interested in the same things that you are so that they can enjoy a good source of news as well. If you just take a second to shoot them an email to their in boxes, you can let them know about some of the great sources of Online news in no time flat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/feeds/6143325361788123624/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/02/online-news.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/6143325361788123624'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/6143325361788123624'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/02/online-news.html' title='Online News'/><author><name>hgjghgj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10273007804606313168</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441525054130013824.post-7567031342730269309</id><published>2022-02-22T04:23:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2022-02-22T04:23:13.486-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Online News - End of the Road For Free News Online?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; According to a recent study, we&#39;re not overly impressed with Rupert Murdoch&#39;s plans to charge for use of his online news sites.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://discountaushopping.com&quot;&gt;discountaushopping.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Of 2,000 people asked if they would ever pay for online news, 9 out of 10 said &#39;No!&#39;. Does that mean that Murdoch&#39;s decision to charge users to access his news sites is foolish?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wouldn&#39;t pay for news, either, unless...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I were asked &#39;would you ever pay for online news?&#39;, I would probably say &#39;no&#39;, too. After all, in an age when we can usually read about major events on Twitter before any of the news channels report them, why would we ever want pay for access to their content?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, I would, and often do, pay for quality and &#39;luxury&#39; news. I would never pay a penny for one of the shrinking number of free newspapers handed out on my way to work in a morning, but I would pay for a Sunday broadsheet with all its extras and trimmings (even though the chances of me actually reading more than a few pages are extremely small).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have also been known to sign up to a paid members&#39; area on the website of a certain football team (which shall remain nameless) to gain access to extra content not available on the main website: video interviews and press conferences, highlights of reserve and youth team matches, live radio commentary on match days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Would I pay to read The Sun online? No. There are usually only about 2 paragraphs in each image-dominated article anyway. It only costs a few pennies to buy the real thing so there wouldn&#39;t be much value in using its site. The Times? Maybe, but only if all other quality news outlets starting charging, otherwise I&#39;d just go for the free one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using a Credit Card for a 20p Article?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m not sure how much Mr Murdoch wants to charge his users to read an article, but I&#39;m guessing there is going to be some sort of account that needs setting up. I certainly couldn&#39;t be bothered to get my wallet out every time I wanted to read something and I would be very hesitant to commit to subscribing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, if they had a similar system to iTunes, whereby you just enter your password to gain access to a paid article and your card is billed accordingly, that might make a bit more sense. But, if I had to do that for every major news provider, it would become very tiresome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, they could be shooting themselves in the foot to some extent. If the site makes it harder and less convenient for me to read an article, I&#39;ll probably go elsewhere. I would assume that I would always be able to read the news for free on the BBC&#39;s website, which would not be good news for the advertising revenue of the Murdoch online empire.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Copycats&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Assuming that I actually wanted to read an article on a paid site so badly that I handed over my credit card details to them, what would stop me &#39;reporting&#39; on what the article said on my freely available blog? I would imagine it would be very hard for a newspaper group to prevent thousands of bloggers disseminating the information freely to their users who would gain lots of traffic in the process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recipe for Success?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The success or failure of paid news is in the method used to charge and engage with users, assuming that the users value the content highly enough to deem it worth paying for. The jury is definitely still out on the entire concept and the chances are that many will try and fail before a profitable system is developed. Until then, we&#39;ll have to wait and see.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Using Online News Submissions to Gain Extra Visitors to Your Website&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It can be quite hard to compete with other websites when it comes to attracting internet users to a specific website. If the site is in a popular field, like cars for example, then the competition is high due to the amount of Google searches being carried out. However, if a less popular field is being targeted then it&#39;s difficult because not many people are searching for that specific field anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s good to use keywords, meta tags, and other SEO techniques, but what many people forget is how Google ranks certain sites on their search engine. Yes, they do take into account well-optimised content, but many people forget that updated and useful content is being increasingly used as the determining factor. And that&#39;s where online news submission comes in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What Happened?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the past, a smattering of SEO was enough to get one&#39;s website to the top of the list, but with the recent Google Panda updates and the changes to these algorithms, it&#39;s the content which is reigning supreme. And that&#39;s why online news distribution is the perfect way to get websites to the top of the Google rankings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Power of News&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s well-known that millions of people all around the world look to the internet when it comes to finding out about the world and the latest news associated with different parts of it. And, to Google, this is relevant and updated content. This is why online news distribution with a link in a resource box can really drive traffic to a specific website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But users who decide to take this route must make sure that they strike the balance between relevant news whilst minimising the competition. If it&#39;s a major news story then it&#39;s going to be carried by news websites all around the world, and that will make it impossible to make any impact on the Google rankings. But if it&#39;s not relevant then nobody will be searching for it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Personal or Directory Submission?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Personal submission is the use of press releases on the website which is attempting to have traffic driven to it. This is one of the best ways to bring traffic to a website, but the only issue is that this can only be used once. If it doesn&#39;t work and other sites are considered to be more valuable then this can be a real problem, especially if it&#39;s a major news story.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Online news submission to directories, on the other hand, allows users to submit similar press releases or articles to multiple websites. This means that more websites will be pointing to the desired website. Whilst this will certainly increase the Google ranking of a website, the only way to get people on the website is for them to actively decide to click through to that website. This means that people might decide to read the news on an external website but might not decide to click on the inserted link.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Online News Services Can Increase Business&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everybody is always looking for innovative ways to increase their business, to increase the amount of traffic to their websites and other ways to get their name, their brands, services and products to the consumers that will use them. One of the latest buzz applications in the Internet marketing sector is Online News Submission.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What it basically is, is a company that will take your companies details, list of services, products, what you do, how you do it and where you are. Then they jazz your information up; send it through to the PR department, where a clever writer puts together a sensational, but informative press release about your company. Once you have approved the press release, they go live and upload it to the web, through thousands of internet portals and online news services all over the world and immediately your product has reached millions it wouldn&#39;t have been able to otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not only do the companies prepare your complete press release, part of their package is Online News Distribution, so without you having to search for platforms about where to release your news article, part of their service is that they do all of that for you. They already have a well connected data base of outlets and an unprecedented ability to reach a diverse sector of journalists, bloggers, online news platforms, potential customers and buyers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It doesn&#39;t matter if you have never written a press release or news article before, you don&#39;t have to go and learn how to do that, or employ a copywriter or journalist to do so, an Online News Service Company will do all of that for you. It will be like employing an entire PR company to take on your media and news coverage without having to break the bank,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Social media, express media coverage, SEO submissions and national and international press are all platforms and sectors that a unique service like this will launch your company, services and brand from.

Also, forex option brokers may require investors to trade forex options contracts having minimum notional values (contract sizes) up to $500,000. Last, but not least, certain types of forex option contracts can be entered into and exited at any time while other types of forex option contracts lock you in until expiration or settlement. Depending on the type of forex option contract you enter into, you might get stuck the wrong way with an option contract that you can not trade out of. Before trading, investors should inquire with their forex option brokers about initial trading account minimums, required contract size minimums and contract liquidity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are a number of different forex option trading products offered to investors by forex option brokers. We believe it is extremely important for investors to understand the distinctly different risk characteristics of each of the forex option trading products mentioned below that are offered by firms that broker forex options.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plain Vanilla Forex Options Broker - Plain vanilla options generally refer to standard put and call option contracts traded through an exchange (however, in the case of forex option trading, plain vanilla options would refer to the standard, generic option contracts that are traded through an over-the-counter (OTC) forex dealer or clearinghouse). In simplest terms, vanilla forex options would be defined as the buying or selling of a standard forex call option contract or forex put option contract.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are only a few forex option broker/dealers who offer plain vanilla forex options online with real-time streaming quotes 24 hours a day. Most forex option brokers and banks only broker forex options via telephone. Vanilla forex options for major currencies have good liquidity and you can easily enter the market long or short, or exit the market any time day or night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vanilla forex option contracts can be used in combination with each other and/or with spot forex contracts to form a basic strategy such as writing a covered call, or much more complex forex trading strategies such as butterflies, strangles, ratio spreads, synthetics, etc. Also, plain vanilla options are often the basis of forex option trading strategies known as exotic options.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Exotic Forex Options Broker - First, it is important to note that there a couple of different forex definitions for &quot;exotic&quot; and we don&#39;t want anyone getting confused. The first definition of a forex &quot;exotic&quot; refers to any individual currency that is less broadly traded than the major currencies. The second forex definition for &quot;exotic&quot; is the one we refer to on this website - a forex option contract (trading strategy) that is a derivative of a standard vanilla forex option contract.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To understand what makes an exotic forex option &quot;exotic,&quot; you must first understand what makes a forex option &quot;non-vanilla.&quot; Plain vanilla forex options have a definitive expiration structure, payout structure and payout amount. Exotic forex option contracts may have a change in one or all of the above features of a vanilla forex option. It is important to note that exotic options, since they are often tailored to a specific&#39;s investor&#39;s needs by an exotic forex options broker, are generally not very liquid, if at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Exotic forex options are generally traded by commercial and institutional investors rather than retail forex traders, so we won&#39;t spend too much time covering exotic forex options brokers. Examples of exotic forex options would include Asian options (average price options or &quot;APO&#39;s&quot;), barrier options (payout depends on whether or not the underlying reaches a certain price level or not), baskets (payout depends on more than one currency or a &quot;basket&quot; of currencies), binary options (the payout is cash-or-nothing if underlying does not reach strike price), lookback options (payout is based on maximum or minimum price reached during life of the contract), compound options (options on options with multiple strikes and exercise dates), spread options, chooser options, packages and so on. Exotic options can be tailored to a specific trader&#39;s needs, therefore, exotic options contract types change and evolve over time to suit those ever-changing needs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since exotic forex options contracts are usually specifically tailored to an individual investor, most of the exotic options business in transacted over the telephone through forex option brokers. There are, however, a handful of forex option brokers who offer &quot;if touched&quot; forex options or &quot;single payment&quot; forex options contracts online whereby an investor can specify an amount he or she is willing to risk in exchange for a specified payout amount if the underlying price reaches a certain strike price (price level). These transactions offered by legitimate online forex brokers can be considered a type of &quot;exotic&quot; option. However, we have noticed that the premiums charged for these types of contracts can be higher than plain vanilla option contracts with similar strike prices and you can not sell out of the option position once you have purchased this type of option - you can only attempt to offset the position with a separate risk management strategy. As a trade-off for getting to choose the dollar amount you want to risk and the payout you wish to receive, you pay a premium and sacrifice liquidity. We would encourage investors to compare premiums before investing in these kinds of options and also make sure the brokerage firm is reputable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Again, it is fairly easy and liquid to enter into an exotic forex option contract but it is important to note that depending on the type of exotic option contract, there may be little to no liquidity at all if you wanted to exit the position.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Firms Offering Forex Option &quot;Betting&quot; - A number of new firms have popped up over the last year offering forex &quot;betting.&quot; Though some may be legitimate, a number of these firms are either off-shore entities or located in some other remote location. We generally do not consider these to be forex brokerage firms. Many do not appear to be regulated by any government agency and we strongly suggest investors perform due diligence before investing with any forex betting firms.

The word &quot;Forex&quot; directly stems off of the beginning of two words - &quot;foreign&quot; and &quot;exchange&quot;. Unlike other trading systems such as the stock market, Forex does not involve the trading of any goods, physical or representative. Instead, Forex operates through buying, selling, and trading between the currencies of various economies from around the world. Because the Forex market is truly a global trading system, trades are made 24 hours a day, five days a week. In addition, Forex is not bound by any one control agency, which means that Forex is the only true free market economic trading system available today. By leaving the exchange rates out of any one group&#39;s hands, it is much more difficult to even attempt to manipulate or corner the currency market.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nasdaqsignals.io/&quot;&gt;https://www.nasdaqsignals.io/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;With all of the advantages associated with the Forex system, and the global range of participation, the Forex market is the largest market in the entire world. Anywhere between 1 trillion and 1.5 trillion equivalent United States dollars are traded on the Forex market each and every day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Forex operates mainly on the concept of &quot;free-floating&quot; currencies; this can be explained best as currencies that are not backed by specific materials such as gold or silver. Prior to 1971, a market such as Forex would not work because of the international &quot;Bretton Woods&quot; agreement. This agreement stipulated that all involved economies would strive to hold the value of their currencies close to the value of the US dollar, which in turn was held to the value of gold. In 1971, the Bretton Woods agreement was abandoned. The United States had run a huge deficit during the Vietnam Conflict, and began printing out more paper currency than they could back with gold, resulting in a relatively high level of inflation. By 1976, every major currency worldwide had left the system established under the Bretton Woods agreement, and had changed into a free-floating system of currency. This free-floating system meant that each country&#39;s currency could have vastly different values that fluctuated based on how the country&#39;s economy was faring at that time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because each currency fluctuates independently, it is possible to make a profit from the changes in currency value. For example, 1 Euro used to be worth about 0.86 US dollars. Shortly thereafter, 1 Euro was worth about 1.08 US dollars. Those who bought Euros at 86 cents and sold them at 1.08 US dollars were able to make 22 cents profit off of each Euro - this could equate to hundreds of millions in profits for those who were deeply rooted in the Euro. Everything in the Forex market is hanging on the exchange rate of various currencies. Sadly, very few people realize that the exchange rates they see on the news and read about in the newspapers each day could possibly be able to work towards profits on their behalf, even if they were just to make a small investment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Euro and the US dollar are probably the two most well-known currencies that are used in the Forex market, and therefore they are two of the most widely traded in the Forex market. In addition to the two &quot;kings of currency&quot;, there are a few other currencies that have fairly strong reputation for Forex trading. The Australian Dollar, the Japanese Yen, the Canadian Dollar, and the New Zealand Dollar are all staple currencies used by established Forex traders. However, it is important to note that on most Forex services, you won&#39;t see the full name of a currency written out. Each currency has it&#39;s own symbol, just as companies involved in the stock market have their own symbol based off of the name of their company. Some of the important currency symbols to know are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;USD - United States Dollar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;EUR - The Euro&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CAD - The Canadian Dollar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AUD - The Australian Dollar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;JPY - The Japanese Yen&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NZD - The New Zealand Dollar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although the symbols may be confusing at first, you&#39;ll get used to them after a while. Remember that each currency&#39;s symbol is logically formed from the name of the currency, usually in some form of acronym. With a little practice, you&#39;ll be able to determine most currency codes without even having to look them up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some of the richest people in the world have Forex as a large part of their investment portfolio. Warren Buffet, the world&#39;s richest man, has over $20 Billion invested in various currencies on the Forex market. His revenue portfolio usually includes well over one-hundred million dollars in profit from Forex trades each quartile. George Soros is another big name in the field of currency trading - it is believed that he made over $1 billion in profit from a single day of trading in 1992! Although those types of trades are very rare, he was still able to amass over $7 Billion from three decades of trading on the Forex market. The strategy of George Soros also goes to show that you don&#39;t have to be too risky to make profits on Forex - his conservative strategy involves withdrawing large portions of his profits from the market, even when the trend of his various investments seems to still be correlating upward.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thankfully, you don&#39;t have to invest millions of dollars to make a profit on Forex. Many people have recorded their success with initial investments of anywhere from $10,000 to as little as $100 for an initial investment. This wide range of economic requirements makes Forex an attractive venue for trading among all classes, from those well entrenched in the lower rungs of the middle class, all the way up to the richest people alive on the planet. For those on the lower end of the spectrum, access to the Forex market is a fairly recent innovation. Within the past decades, various companies began offering a system that is friendlier to the average person, allowing the smaller initial investments and greater flexibility that is seen in the market today. Now, no matter what economic position you are in, you can get started. Although it&#39;s possible to jump right in and start investing, it&#39;s best that you make sure you have a better understanding of the ins and outs of Forex trading before you get started.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The world of Forex is one that can be both profitable and exciting, but in order to make Forex work for you it is important that you know how the system works. Like most lucrative activities, to become a Forex pro you need a lot of practice. There are many websites that offer exactly this, the simulated practice of Foreign Exchange.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The services provided by online practice sites differ from site to site, so it is always a good idea to make sure you know all of the details of the site you are about to use. For example, there are several online brokers who will offer a practice account for a period of several weeks, then terminate it and start you on a live account, which means you may end up using your own money before you are ready to. It&#39;s always a good idea to find a site that offers an unlimited practice account. Having a practice account allows you to learn the ways of the trade with no risk at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Continuing to use the practice account while you use a live account is also a beneficial tool for even the most seasoned Forex traders. The use of a no risk practice account enables you to try out new trading strategies and tread into unknown waters. If the strategy works, you know that you can now implement that strategy into your real account. If the strategy fails, you know to refrain from the use of that strategy without the loss of any actual money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, simply using a no risk account won&#39;t get you anywhere. In order to make money with Forex, you need to put your own money in. Obviously, it would be ridiculous to travel to other countries to purchase and sell different currencies, so there are many websites that you can use to digitally trade your money. Almost all online brokerage systems have different features to offer you so you have to do the research to find out which site you wish to create an account with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All brokers will require specific information of you to create your account. The information they will need from you includes information required to communicate with you, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address. They also require information needed to identify who you are, including your Social Security number, Passport number or Tax Identification number. It is required by law that they have this information, so they can prevent fraudulent trading. They may also collect various personal information when you open an account, including gender, birth date, occupation, and employment status.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now that you have practiced trading currency and set up your live account, it is time to truly enter this profitable yet risky world. To make money with Forex, you do need to have money to begin with. It is possible to trade with very small amounts of money, but this will also lead to very small profits. As is with many other exchange systems, high payouts will only come with high risks. You can&#39;t expect to start getting millions as soon as you put money in to the market, but you can&#39;t expect to make any money at all if you don&#39;t put in at least a 3-digit value.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As most Forex brokers will warn you, you can loose money in the foreign exchange market, so don&#39;t put your life savings into any one trade. Always trade with money that you&#39;d be able to survive without. This will ensure that if you get a bad trade and loose a lot of money, you wont end up on the streets, and you&#39;ll be able to make a comeback in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So how does trading currency work? Logically, trades always come in pairs. For example, a common trade would be the United States Dollar to the Japanese Yen. This is expressed as USD/JPY. The way to quote a trade is kind of tricky, but with practice it becomes as natural as reading your native language. In a Forex quote, the first currency in the list (IE: USD in USD/JPY) is the base currency, and in the quote the base is always one. This means if (hypothetically of course) One USD was worth Two JPY, that the quote would be expressed as 1/2.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When trading in Forex, we use pips. Pip is an acronym for &quot;percentage in point&quot;. A pip a certain decimal place in a number compared to the same decimal place in another number. Using pips, we track the gains and losses of a currencies value compared to another&#39;s. Let&#39;s take a look at an example. Say a value is written as 1.0001/1.0004. This would indicate a 3-pip spread, because of the 3 number difference in the fourth decimal place. Almost all currency pairs go to the fourth decimal place. The only currency pair that doesn&#39;t is that of the USD/JPY, and it goes to the second decimal place. For example, a USD/JPY quote with a 3-point spread would look like this: 1.01/1.04.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A very common aspect to the foreign exchange is leverage. Leverage trading, also known as trading on margin, is a way to amplify the amount of money you are making. When you use leverage trading, you borrow a certain amount of money from your broker and use that to make your transaction. This allows you to trade with more money then you are actually spending, meaning you can make higher profits than you would normally be able to make.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are risks associated with leverage trading. If you increase the amount of money you are using, if a trade goes bad, then you&#39;ll loose more money than you&#39;d usually loose. The risks are worth it though, because a big win on margin means a huge payout. As mentioned before, it is definitely a wise idea to try out leverage trading on your practice account before you use it excessively on your live account, so you can get a feel for the way it works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now that you&#39;re an expert on the way Forex trading works there are some things about foreign exchange that you should know. Forex is just like the stock market in that there are many benefits and risks, but if you are going to invest your time and personal money into this system, you should be fully aware of all of the factors that may change your decision to invest in the currency market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generally speaking, Forex is a difficult subject to opinionate on, because of the different factors that may alter the currency over the years. &quot;Supply and demand&quot; is a major issue affecting the Forex organization, because the world is in constant variable to change, one significant product being oil. Usually the currency of all the nations around the globe is described as a huge &quot;melting pot&quot;, because of the fact that all of the interchanging controversy, political affairs, national disputes, and possibly war conflicts, all mixed together as a whole, altering the nature of Forex every second! Although problems such as supply and demand, and the whole &quot;melting pot&quot; issue, there are a numerous amount of pros to Forex; one being benefited profit from long term stock. Because of the positive aspects of Forex, the percentage of the use of electronic trading in the FX market (shortened from Foreign Exchange) increased by 7% from 2005 to 2008. Despite the controversial realm of Forex, it is still recognized today by many, and is still popular amongst many of the nations in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of all the organizations that recognize Forex, most of them practice fiscal policy, and monetary policy. Both policies are dependent on the nation&#39;s outlook on economics, and their standards set. The government&#39;s budget deficits, or surpluses against the country, is widely affected by the country&#39;s economic status of trade, and may critically inflict the nation&#39;s currency. Another factor for the nation&#39;s deficit spending is what the nation already has, in terms of necessities for the citizens, and the society. The more the country already has, prior to trade, the greater the budget for other demands from the people, such as technology, innovations in existing products, etc. Although a country may have an abundance in necessities, greed may hinder the nation&#39;s economic status, by changing government official&#39;s wants, to want &quot;unnecessary&quot; products, therefore ruining or &quot;wasting&quot; the country&#39;s money. This negative trend may lead to the country&#39;s doom, and hurt the Forex&#39;s reputation for positive change. There are some countries which hold more of a product (such as oil stated above), the Middle East dominating that sector in the circle of trade; Since the Middle East suffers much poverty, as a result of deficit spending, and lack of other resources, they demand for a higher price in oil, to maintain their economic status. This process is known as the &quot;flights to quality&quot;, and is practiced by many countries, wanting to survive in the trading network that exists today. Interest rate, and leveraged financing, is due to the inflations that occur in many parts of the world from one point to another. Inflations wear down purchasing abilities, causing the currency to fall with it. In some cases, a country may observe the trends that it takes, and beforehand, take action to avoid any mishaps that had been experienced before. Sometimes, the country will buy more of a product, or sell more of a product, otherwise known as &quot;overbought&quot; or &quot;oversold&quot;. This may aid in the country&#39;s future, or devastatingly hurt the country, because of lack of thought, as a result of fraud logic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;What started out as a market for professionals is now attracting traders from all over the world and of all experience levels&quot; is part of a letter of the chairman of Forex, and it is completely true. There is even a 30-day trial for Forex online at http://www.forex.com/forex_demo_account.html if anyone interested in Forex wants to learn more about the company. Although affected by leveraged financing, interest rate, and causing an increase or decrease in exchange rate risks, Forex can be a great way for quick profits and integrated economy for the country. In investing in stocks that are most likely to be successful for a long period of time, and researching these companies for more reference and background that you need to know, Forex can aid in these fields. In the Forex market of different levels of access, the inter-bank market composed of the largest investment bank firm, which contains &quot;spreads&quot;, which are divided into bid, and ask prices. Large amounts of transactions, with large amounts traded, and requesting a small amount of difference is known as a better spread, which is preferred by many investors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In comparison to the Stock Market, the Forex organization is just as stable, and safe, if the users on it are aware, and decently knowledgeable about the topic. The Stock Market Crash in 1929 was a result of lack of thinking, because of the extremely cheap shares, replacing the shares originally costing thousands of dollars. When the Stock Market crashed, and the New Deal was proposed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, leveraged finance was present, and utilized to stabilize the economy at the time. The United States was extremely wealthy and prosperous in the 20s (prior to the depression), and had not realized what could happen as a result of carelessness in spending. This is a result of deficit spending, and how it could damage a society, in less than a decade! When joining Forex, keep in mind that with the possible positive outcomes, and negative ones, there are obstacles that must be faced to become successful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a result of many catastrophic events, such as the Great Depression that occurred in the United States, people investing in the Forex organization keep in mind of the dangers, and rewards that may come upon them in a certain point in time. With more work and consideration outputted by a person, or organization in the Forex program will there be more signs of prosperity as a result. In relation to individuals such as Warren Buffet and George Soros, they have become successful through experience, and determination through many programs, and research, for security purposes. Reserving some of the most riches people in the world, to others that are just test driving it to discover its potential for them, Forex is a broad topic that experiences different people everyday. Forex may not help everyone that invests in it, but if enough outputted effort is amplified in attempts to better the economy, it is most definitely something that any person should experience first-hand.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/feeds/4464842914610647482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/02/forex-overview.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/4464842914610647482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/4464842914610647482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/02/forex-overview.html' title='Forex Overview'/><author><name>hgjghgj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10273007804606313168</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441525054130013824.post-8646608545798241093</id><published>2022-02-15T06:00:00.004-08:00</published><updated>2022-02-15T06:00:35.848-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Learning to Trade Forex in Seven Steps</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; If you are interested in learning to trade forex successfully, then the most common path for an aspiring trader these days is to search the Internet for information to apply immediately to their live forex trading account. The problem is that their search often leads them to destinations where there are plenty of false promises, bad ideas, negativity and an obsession with indicators.&amp;nbsp; Many of the EBooks on sale today are filled with recycled concepts or incomplete strategies which the authors themselves do not use.&amp;nbsp; Many authors do not earn money from forex trading but they earn their living by selling these EBooks to the novice forex trader.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;This easy access to forex guru&#39;s who fuel the idea that forex trading is the holy grail of easy money, then financially feed off those same people they have sold this idea to.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.goldsniper.io/&quot;&gt;https://www.goldsniper.io/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;At the end of the day what many of these forex guru&#39;s sell is a gross misrepresentation of what it takes to trade forex for a living.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Forex Trading is not easy.&amp;nbsp; You can become a good forex trader though dedication and by treating forex trading as you would any other skill.&amp;nbsp; The reality is that it is hard work and must be treated with the same amount of seriousness as you would any other career.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The effect of all these gurus is that many forex traders start off overly optimistic with unrealistic goals.&amp;nbsp; Whilst there is nothing wrong with a positive mental attitude but this positivity must be built on strong foundations and realistic expectations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;New forex traders normally start their career by purchasing some secret set of indicators and they are quickly punished for their naivety.&amp;nbsp; Many of these forex traders then purchase a different set of secret indicators until they become disillusioned and then quit trading.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;In fact, many forex traders that are now successful went through this learning process, including myself.&amp;nbsp; This is only a problem if you refuse to learn from your mistakes.&amp;nbsp; You need to break from this cycle of reliance on secret indicators and guru methods to be successful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;You help yourself in the beginning; by learning to think for yourself and understanding that whilst anyone can trade forex, to be successful, you must learn to BE a forex trader.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To BE A Forex Trader&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;To trade forex is easy, all you need is a forex trading account with money in it and then you enter the foreign exchange market and start trading.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;To be a forex trader is more work. You need to grow from the starting point of having very little knowledge to the stage where you have a trading plan, understand the concepts and behaviour of the forex market and be able to trade with a cool head and understand that wins and losses are all part of being a Forex Trader.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Learning How to Trade Forex by thinking like a Forex Trader in Seven Steps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;1. Understand your place in the Forex Market&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;This is very important you must understand that you are very small fish in a big ocean.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; In the Foreign Exchange Market the majority of the liquidity is coming from big banks and experienced institutional traders. These are the big fish.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The big fish will happily enjoy you as a little snack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;You are only fooling yourself if you think it will be easy to take money off these big forex traders.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;You have to learn to swim alongside these big fish and catch the same currents they do.&amp;nbsp; Swimming against them just marks you as prey and sooner or later you will be eaten.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;2. Learn to read the Forex Charts and Understand the Foreign Exchange Market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Many novice forex traders believe that these big forex traders have access to some secret forex trading strategy or use a secret set of indicators, but the truth is this is just not the case.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;These major forex players are using simple, but proven technical analysis techniques - most commonly horizontal support/resistance, identification of trading ranges, Fibonacci these are then coupled with fundamental themes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Begin by accepting that the other major participants are highly experienced in the market and they make money because of experience and by a complete understanding of the core skills and not because they hold a holy grail of secret indicators.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;3. Money Management&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;It is crucial that you understand as a novice forex trader the emphasis is not on how much you can make from forex trading but on how you manage what you have.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;This is the most common downfall of all novice traders.&amp;nbsp; It is common place to see a starting trader risk the majority of their account on one or two positions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;This style of trading is not sustainable and professional traders do not trade in this manner.&amp;nbsp; Everyone sometime in their career will have a string of bad trades.&amp;nbsp; A typical number might be 10 losing trades in a row.&amp;nbsp; The question is do you have a money management plan in place that enables you to survive this?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;4. Focus on the Market&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Many novice forex traders open their forex charting software and activate their latest hot indicator or tool and proceed to place their trades as per the tools recommendations. This style of forex trading is unlikely to have much long term success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;When these indicators fail to generate the required profits then these traders then move rapidly on to another set of indicators.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;You must focus on the forex market and understand what the indicators are telling you so that you can pick the forex trades which have the best probability of being winners.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Successful forex traders use indicators and tools as Fibonacci, Pivot points, price channels, MACD, RSI etc.&amp;nbsp; These tools by themselves do not make a successful trader.&amp;nbsp; There are many successful traders and unsuccessful traders who use the exact same indicators.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The key is that successful traders understands how the market behaves around the indicators and understands what the signals actually mean.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The best way to achieve this is to stop swapping between tools and select those that compliment your trading plan, understand how they work, and then spend time in the market experiencing them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Plan your trade and trade your plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;This is a common saying that seems to get lost on novice traders.&amp;nbsp; It should be every trader&#39;s goal to make pips on each forex trade as per their trading plan.&amp;nbsp; Forex Traders must treat each trade as a business decision by calculating their risk and defining their entries and exits points, those that do not&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;open themselves to big losses when a trade goes bad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Many novice traders seem to lack the discipline to follow a plan for each trade.&amp;nbsp; So what happens is typically the following; a novice trader will see a potential set-up, they decide on some arbitrary sum to buy or sell with a quick guesstimate, then place the trade without analyzing any risk and having an exit strategy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Of course this way of trading can be profitable over the short term, more down to luck than skill.&amp;nbsp; But eventually the luck runs out and the trader is caught napping and a common result is a wiped out account.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The first question novice traders tend to ask themselves how much will I make on this forex trade?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first question experience traders tend to ask themselves is how much is my potential loss / risk?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. Your mind is your strongest asset and weakest link.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Entire books have been dedicated to the subject of psychology and its role in trading. That doesn&#39;t mean they are all going to help you, but you should take this as a sign that the subject is not to be ignored.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;First you must understand the role psychology plays in trading.&amp;nbsp; You must learn to understand your personality traits and how they might affect your trading style.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;A trader I know is a bad loser and when he has a bad trade, he had a habit of going straight back and trying to win those pips back with even worse results.&amp;nbsp; But he understands this as a weakness and when he has a bad trade, he takes a break of 20 minutes before he goes back to trading so that his emotions do not affect his trading decisions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Second you must make it your aim to never stop learning. You cannot get yourself to a certain level and then become complacent. Every day is a learning experience in some way or other and you must be prepared to learn lessons and invest time in improving your skills and experience. The day you stop learning is the day you should stop trading.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;7. Understand The Forex Market is always right or Expect the Unexpected.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The forex market is an interesting place, but there is one thing every trader needs to learn.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Always expect the unexpected and do not get wrapped up in past successes.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;No matter what your charts or indicators tell you; sometimes the forex market will just do the opposite.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Whatever happens in the market you must maintain an objective outlook on your strategy and the forex market and ensure that bubbles and crashes do not derail you in the long term.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By following these steps and learning to become a forex trader rather than just trading the forex market, you will put you on the path to ultimate success as a profitable forex trader.&amp;nbsp; This is something that 90% of all novice traders fail to achieve.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/feeds/8646608545798241093/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/02/learning-to-trade-forex-in-seven-steps.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/8646608545798241093'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/8646608545798241093'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/02/learning-to-trade-forex-in-seven-steps.html' title='Learning to Trade Forex in Seven Steps'/><author><name>hgjghgj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10273007804606313168</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441525054130013824.post-5452448973976846944</id><published>2022-02-15T06:00:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2022-02-15T06:00:21.005-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Making Money Online With a Forex Trading System</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; In this article I will discuss making money online, Forex trading, and software related to Forex trading. Both good and bad. As well as cover some other things. Though there are a lot of systems out there, more importantly scams, there&#39;s not quite as many as there are online get rich quick schemes and ponzi schemes in general. There are still hundreds if not thousands of scams that directly relate to Forex Currency Trading. These scams come in various forms but often get the record set straight on them quickly, however a few others somehow escape the negative publicity and go for years and hit unsuspecting profit seekers where it hurts the most daily.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.forexsniper.io/&quot;&gt;https://www.forexsniper.io/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;The problem with Forex is that so much seems too good to be true, and a lot of stuff is, but it&#39;s also true that many people have made millions and some aren&#39;t really all that smart at it. You can profit from the right robot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first thing I would like to discuss is the topic of sales pages, that common pitch page that a lot of products use and you often think it&#39;s gone too far or it must be a scam just by looking at it. But when you think real hard about it, over half the time this is not actually the case... These sales pages are so long and packed with information since they are commonly advertised on the web and it is more or less business strategy, as opposed to anything reflecting the product. Certain vendors force you to use pitch pages, they need a specific landing page and it makes things much easier for sales transactions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So rather than guide you through a structured web site with more details through various sections; they often use this pitch page and they generally pack it with information and a ton of hard selling. This has proven to be the trend and it&#39;s gotten harder and harder for some EAs to market their software without these types of pitch pages. It is often the case with digital products and or/stuff you can order online. When it comes to these make-money-online and Forex sites they often have a lot of flash to them and obviously many things to draw customers in. In reality it&#39;s not much different from any other form of advertising, most certainly not the likes of gambling, and so forth. They need to have some sort of appeal and be competitive. My conclusion is that even if it looks like it could be a scam, do your homework anyway and it may not be. It just depends. Some things are signs, but in my opinion web design and hard selling are not direct signs of a scam. Though in the Forex Market something to hope for would be charts and proof.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With regards to the surveys and other things, it amounts to filling out spam for pennies pretty much, data entry is the same and much more annoying than even the most desperate realize. It also makes you look bad if you tell your friends. You still have to spend time to make any real money, not prizes, and some also require a credit card number on file, and they text you and stuff too. Let&#39;s be honest, it sucks. It&#39;s bottom of the barrel work that just isn&#39;t worth it. It&#39;s for the ultra-lazy. The kind of human being who for example might get scammed by a Forex system. Not a serious adult who is looking to profit from investment and extend their savings, along with make more money in general.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I once tried a clicking service just to see if I actually could make money, on the popular moneytec forum it was this highly suggested thing by a bunch of lazy work at home users, but I bought into it at the time, and, no joke I signed up and they told me it would be easy and they would make it easy to visit 1000 sites or whatever they have you visit for 15 cents. So I clicked a link and it just starting loading every 2 seconds, it was awfully slow, I waited 15 minutes and that was only like 25 sites, i got a virus after, and i closed it fast. I abandoned the 15 cents for it and thought instantly that these poor souls who do this are a whole helluva lot more desperate than I am. I do not belong in these sort of slums of the internet. This is the first time I have ever written about it. Besides that several years ago before I started trading Forex I also wrote a few surveys and never got paid once. I have marketed online to some success but mainly my success has been through Forex Trading. That&#39;s why I don&#39;t need to work a real job and can sit around doing stuff like this all day. Publishing is very important to me. Once something you write online get&#39;s indexed by a major search engine like Google, chances are that it will be there for a very long time. I find that important anyway...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are other ways you can make money online without Forex Trading, though sadly it is often bottom of the barrel work; boring data entry, filling out surveys for pennies, to name a couple of the more common ones. If you&#39;re into making web sites you may also advertise on one of your sites or a network of sites, and for that you need fresh content and you need to get traffic, which is way harder than one might think. You can sell products virtually as an affiliate, though you need to find your niche and work very hard at it, it becomes a time consuming job for some people and no matter what you&#39;re likely to going to need to invest in something no matter what you do. Whether it&#39;s Forex, Web Design, Advertising or whatever it is or a combination of things, most importantly it takes time and ability to adapt your passion. Though you still have much more freedom, affiliate marketing online is very crowded and has been for years. You can also use a revenue-share article and/or video submission service in hopes of being one of the few who can actually earn a living at it. Though that is not for everybody. If you&#39;ve got four young children and only have an extra hour or two a day to pull in some extra income you most likely don&#39;t have time to play a Martha Stewart like figure. Most people don&#39;t.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Forex Trading on the other hand is more convenient in the sense that it is an extremely profitable investment opportunity given the right expert adviser, to advise your trade and supply your signals, generally to guide you. That is option one. You need a broker. It&#39;s way easier than you think and in the Forex industry not as big of a word as you might think, easy to get and you don&#39;t gotta meet them in person or anything. It&#39;s an online thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many options to trade Forex, one of the most common would be the use of automated Forex platforms and Forex robots, all automated Forex trading in general. There is nothing wrong with it. This is where expert advisers come in, EAs for short. These are the Forex experts as I mentioned above who supply your trades and information to you. They pretty much tell you what to do. Some are much better than others. Some are not out to supply signals at all and simply selling their software to make profit from that end. Proper automated Forex software oftens runs on the metatrader 4 Forex trading platform, or at least the more popular ones do. Your EA software is like plug-in software for it. I&#39;d actually be wrong to say all EAs use it, but many of the ones I have experience with use the Metatrader 4 Platform and I prefer it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other way to trade Forex is to study the market, find all the relevant information you need, take a very long time of a few months to several years to learn something, only to have it blow up as you were still too inexperienced to do something with your strategy when the market changed. Strategy is a very important element of online Forex trading but not just having a strategy, it&#39;s about having enough strategies and being able to adapt properly with the market. This is why a lot of people fail without popular EAs, because the EA is usually a well experienced trader and your common trader can&#39;t provide himself with signals even half as good and a lot less consistently. The well known EAs are usually like 15 year traders and so forth who studied the market like a school subject and make extra money on the side by selling there signals too you, or software which grants them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A lot of Forex EAs today simply don&#39;t have that sort strategy or ability to adapt with the market... Thus not making them scams, but just not prepared for the long haul in general. I have a lot of experience with failed systems and systems that worked for just a little while. I have others that work to this day but I am always seeking new ones. I can review several including one I use now however that has already been done a few times over.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you&#39;re looking for the cross between really learning Forex and just really having to learn complicated signals and software I&#39;d suggest Forex Fap Turbo. The downside of this is you often need to buy extra stuff to learn it and some of it is useless. All of this for pretty decent software but it takes way more time and skill and not something I was happy with. I requested and received my refund for the software and some other software related to it, as it was just not for me and the only people i heard reviewing and bragging about it were a lot more educated before they tried it than I was. I wasn&#39;t ready then, am not ready now. Though it&#39;s a well reviewed Forex system and not a scam, I&#39;d provide a link to a review but there is too many of the same, several are mere Forex advertisements so that&#39;s not a lot of help. It also brings up a lot of the Fap Turbo related software that isn&#39;t even the direct software and you gotta buy it separately. So it&#39;s a lot of hassle even more than some typical investments that aren&#39;t related to Forex.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have also tried automoney and several other Forex robots and automated Forex platforms. I have found that many of these automated Forex systems are a dime a dozen and send you through far too many loops to get the desired results. If they don&#39;t eat your entire investment... Some systems don&#39;t have stops and you have to do too much manually, others are slow, and sometimes the EA is simply just not your sort of teacher and you get lost sometimes...Some EAs will simply sniff you out and then screw you over in the end. This is why it&#39;s important to watch for signs of proof either by service trial or physical proof before making your purchase of expensive Forex software.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have also used Forex Assassin, the eToro Forex trading platform and Forex Harvester but nothing really significant has come up from any of those systems for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some Forex marketers, EAs and employees in general and so forth are so vicious that they monitor new &quot;Forex&quot; related domain registrations and somehow get your email address and solicit you... So you have to be aware that in the Forex market as far as Forex expert advisers go, there is a lot of them competing to get your money. You are merely seeking the ones who are also looking to have a solid reputation and actually provide you with profitable trades, your EAs #1 objective should be successfully trading Forex and not selling their software. This is another thing that makes the simple &quot;pitch page&quot; easy for EAs with very little maintenance, on that end of things. The software should be and often is a side venture for Forex experts who can actually profit from their knowledge of the market and have the means to market themselves... Can anybody create automated software and sell it? Probably not, I think it&#39;s a bit of a stretch but then again it depends if you even get software, or whatever, most systems that are fully developed and have good features but don&#39;t work - were more than likely meant to work at some point.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have read up on quite a few of the most popular Forex review sites like Forex Peace Army and many other well known ones, and to me they all pretty much point towards the same complicated software and their voters are already experts investing 10s of thousands already and they barely feel some of their losses. They switch around a lot; nothing turns out to be solid in the end. The reviews on sites like that most likely got started through advertising. Too many people get to review their own systems on Forex sites like that, etc. You never know who the reviewer is. Searching for automated Forex software reviews is almost impossible nowadays since they all say pretty much the same thing and are mostly positive...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have read up on many &quot;free Forex signal&quot; reports on the web and I also participate actively on various Forex forums and other Forex related sites. I often find with these particular free Forex signals at least my impression is that you get somebody looking to be a mentor of some sort for you, they are usually shady and turn out to be lacking when you need them the most. These guys are usually empty handed. They are trying to freelance or whatever so that they can supply systems and build a name for themselves, but the problem is that these are the guys who after so many followers do create a commercial system and then ultimately end up failing, their the failed EA newbies to some extent and you want an EA who is an accomplished Forex expert.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One should consider it much better and safer to use an established system that is known to work, and not the work of an aspiring EA, or even worse, somebody who doesn&#39;t have those credentials at all and are just trying to stuff their ego. I have not enjoyed the free Forex signals and find it more like looting through them then finding anything really that productive, not much is there or else all Forex signals would have to be free and would be for everybody, all the best Forex signals would be free. At least that is my concept. I don&#39;t want a rookie EA telling me what to do, since the trend in the Forex market nowadays is most definitely for more popular and well established EAs to sell systems, mostly automated software. That is one thing I don&#39;t understand, who these people are that clog up the forums with nonsense and think they can compete in the market with actual successful Forex EAs who really know how to trade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How much you want to trade really depends on you. If you&#39;re a Forex starter you need to have a good EA for starters, and while I can&#39;t hand pick one for you, I can provide at least one review since I have spent time on the subject, in this article off-site to an excellent EA which i have tried and complies with several of my standards. I feel it is an excellent resource for people like me at least who gets lost on the big stuff. There are many fish in the sea.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/feeds/5452448973976846944/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/02/making-money-online-with-forex-trading.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/5452448973976846944'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3441525054130013824/posts/default/5452448973976846944'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://intereasted.blogspot.com/2022/02/making-money-online-with-forex-trading.html' title='Making Money Online With a Forex Trading System'/><author><name>hgjghgj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10273007804606313168</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
