Affiliate marketing is one way of earning from the internet. It is defined by Wikipedia as “a web-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts.” To put it simply let’s say A has a product that he wishes to sell on the internet. So he invites people like B, C and D to sell his products. B, C and D then post details of A’s product in their respective websites or blogs. Usually A provides them with free advertisement materials such as banners, HTML codes, preformatted email letters, Java script codes etc. B,C and D are called “Affiliates of A.

Inefficiency, the mother of all injustice
A lawyer friend of mine asks me to appear in one of his cases since he had several schedules during that day. The case is to be heard at Toledo City, about 50 kilometers from Cebu City, Philippines and about 45 minutes to 1 hour travel by private vehicle. So I studied the case and asked the client to drop by my house so that we can go together. The case was to be heard at 9 a.m. so we left at around 7:30 a.m. We arrived in Toledo City at around 8:30 a.m. When we went upstairs we were informed by the clerk of court that the Judge was not around. She said the judge decided not to go there that day since he was very busy with his other court. (The regular judge in this particular court was suspended so a temporary judge from another court has to take his place) She said that the hearing is rescheduled and that we will just be given notice as to when the schedule will be. I can understand the judge. It is not easy for him to hold two courts and I do not blame him for what … [Read more...]

Here are some ideas ways on what to do with that money. 1.) Put your money in the bank – Contrary to what most people think, banks are not only a place where you could keep your money safe. Banks offer several ways wherein you can make your money grow. Savings account only offers small interest rates. Time deposits on the other hand offer a higher interest rate.

What on earth is VOIP ?
Last week I wrote something about VOIP in a post although the main topic was not all about VOIP but about business. Some of my readers who are not technology savvy are wondering what VOIP is. (Voice Over Internet Protocol) It is very important to know what VOIP is, since it is considered as the "Next big thing" to computers. I will be writing more about this in the business category. For those of you who wish to understand what it is, here is a nice little clip from Youtube. The clip may be old (2004) but it tells you basically what VOIP is all about. By the way VOIP technology has somewhat advanced for the past 3 years. Here's the clip. … [Read more...]
My Favorite preacher
John MacArthur is the pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California since 1969, and is the president of The Master's College (and the related The Master's Seminary) in Santa Clarita, California.
