This is a guest post written by Jennifer, the Student Relations Intern with StudyBlue.com, an online community of students dedicated who believe in efficient and effective studying for all (and for free).
Over the past few years, new technologies have allowed students to study more efficiently and effectively. Many services have emerged that provide students with new learning platforms, such as StudyBlue.com. StudyBlue is one of the largest online study groups for college and high school students, as well as educators who embrace technology.
By using StudyBlue, students are able to upload class notes, create online flashcards, study on their mobile phones and set reminders for when to study key concepts. If that weren’t enough, StudyBlue has partnered with Evernote, a useful storage system that allows students to access notes, files and scanned handouts from any device at any time.
This integration lets students sync their Evernote and StudyBlue accounts. That means notes taken on Evernote can be easily converted to online flashcards on StudyBlue.
Check out the video below to find out how easy it is to create online flashcards from your notes. Be sure to check out the Evernote blog for more information.
When I bought Cloud Blogging the very first day Glen Allsopp promoted it to one of his groups of subscribers, I didn’t realize that I had just purchased lifetime membership into a comprehensive course that will continually grow and become even more valuable. I didn’t realize that I would be able to ask Glen and Dirk deBruin (Diggy) questions directly and get direct answers – as well as learn from all the other questions and answers of other members. I only thought I was buying an ebook or some other static product, because the price was incredibly low for such a great value. If you’ve read any posts or ebooks by Glen Allsopp before, you understand why I was “hungry” to read anything new he had to tell us, and he doesn’t have a lot of products out there. In fact, I’m only aware of one other, so I didn’t want to miss this! Cloud Blogging is the most definitive guide to growing a profitable and popular blog.
Glen is totally authentic and open with his writing and advice, and he goes into every aspect of blogging, from blog design to content, to traffic generation, to SEO, to monetization,…and also includes in-depth interviews with 12 A-list bloggers, going into detail about how each blog achieved success. Many other experts write PLENTY of posts and ebooks about how to blog successfully, of course, but they’re usually laced with every sort of affiliate links so we never know what we really need and what the blogger just threw in there hoping to make a little more money! In Glen’s case, he is very honest and wants to help us to succeed. Really once we buy Cloud Blogging we don’t need to spend another penny [Continue…]
Remember your readers have put their trust in you
These days a lot of us are looking for great niches that will make us loads of money so we can have lots of passive income and never be forced to trade hours for dollars again. We may search for niches based on things like huge search volumes and high CPC, or we may decide that since we have a true interest in something, that would be the perfect niche to start a site about. One thing we may not think about is the real people who come looking for our information. Those people are most likely not niche marketers, and if they do have a blog it’s just to display their darling baby (or cat) to the world. So when they find your site by searching for “cure [insert disease name here]” or “reverse [insert condition name here]” or “pet [insert animal name]” they may place a lot of faith in the words they find on your site. If you’ve done your best to provide accurate and complete information, well that’s what you want them to do – clicking on your ads and buying your products! But it’s the thought of those innocent people that makes me very careful about which products to endorse or what to post.
Before a few years ago, I was one of those “innocent people.” If I had a sick pet or just found out that one of my loved ones had a certain medical condition, I’d hungrily search for information on the internet – especially after the vet or physician provided a diagnosis I could search. The internet sometimes seems like a boundless source of answers to our questions, and I trusted all the information I found. Sometimes I’d be puzzled when one site would disagree with another.. “so how many [Continue…]

If you are currently unemployed, LinkedIn provides a wealth of opportunities by helping you connect to thousands or even millions of professionals in your desired industry.
Over 2 million people sign up on LinkedIn each month, and now more and more hiring managers and recruiters are using LinkedIn to search for job candidates because it is cost-effective, and it also helps them search for qualified employees by simply typing a few keywords into the LinkedIn search field.
Not just limited to the unemployed and university graduates, LinkedIn is also a great tool if you are currently employed as well, as there are numerous groups on the social media site that could help connect you with other professionals in your field of work. (And you never know which connection could help you in the future).
Spruce up your LinkedIn profile
If you are currently unemployed and hoping that LinkedIn could help connect you to a future job or employer, then you should spend an entire afternoon updating your LinkedIn profile.
Essentially LinkedIn acts as an electronic resume, which allows you to write about your past work experience, your education, and your professional skills. Because of this, it’s extremely important to not only list every single job you have ever had, but also [Continue…]
