GHOSTWRITING

Ghostwriting may be one of the (more) most likely ways to get to write for large and important readers/audiences. Plus, you get paid often well to write about a range of topics you otherwise never could, and to meet interesting, otherwise inaccessible people. All of that, plus a flexible schedule. But you do need to forgo the glory of seeing your name in print. Consider any writing career only if you like the process of writing, whether or not your name appears on the product.

Of course, to be a professional writer, you must write powerfully and quickly those with writer's block need not apply. Ghostwriters also must be excellent interviewers, able to unearth the factual and emotional nuggets that lie within your client. Too, you must be able to capture your client's voice and to gracefully accept their seemingly foolish edits.

One way to land a good ghostwriting project is to contact a famous person you respect and ask if he or she would like you to ghostwrite an autobiography. If so, you develop an outline together and submit the proposal to publishers, usually through an agent. Another source of celebrity ghostwriting work: writing speeches and articles for politicians or business leaders. You can also ghostwrite for just plain folks: websites, family histories, or Grandpa's memoir. You'll have an edge if you specialize in science, autobiography, history, politics, or business.

The main potential downside of ghostwriting is that it isn't as freely creative as writing your own thoughts. You're writing your clients' ideas, not your own, and in their voice, not yours. Of course, by handpicking for whom you're writing, you're unlikely to feel unhappy about that. And ghosting is a great option if you're looking to get well paid for writing without having to write ad copy or for trade publications.

What about today?

Today's journey is quite like any other day. What's amaze me first was the traffic that was gone and brought me to my office a little early than I expected...hhhmmm very nice.

After some short hours of morning working hours, we had our lunch at one of the famous Italian restaurant near our office. I chose to eat pizza and pasta while my friends chose flavored rice and 2 pieces chicken. I use to expect the real Italian taste on my pasta, by the way it was Pasta Alfredo, but still like I used to get, nothing really beats the Italian pasta taste I experienced in Japan. I missed it so much...but nevertheless, the moment I had plus the chats alongside made the moment irreplaceable at all. hehehe...

In the afternoon, work was continued.... then after a long day working hours...going home finally came, we take the same route as everyday..I dropped at some grocery shop to buy one latest facial cosmetic product. But after some searching even at drugstore, what I want is what other wanted to and so its all gone...hhmmm why do they like it too? hehehe... I wondered, the same scenario do happened to me just last week on a different product...funny ne..hehehe. Then I was home finally...

At home...I played with my sister's babies for some hours while watching my favorite tv dramas...then open my pc and be a parttime freelance blogger/writer... prepared to sleep then my today ended...

For tomorrow...I hope to have the same or better day... see you tomorrow!!!

How to Obtain Premium SMS Common Short Codes (CSC)

One of the most important elements in premium SMS is its Common Short Code or CSC for short. You may ask what is a common short code or short code as it is commonly called.

Well, common short code by tradition is a 4-6 digits number combination assigned to you to be utilized for your own mobile operation. The usual length of it is 4-6 digits but it is subjective in every country. Premium SMS or short codes for the United States were set to be 5-6 numerals or digits in length but again it depends on the network operator or networks for it is possible to have a network of operators, in other words, more that one network operator operating as one bound together by an agreement which is binding to all the parties involved.

Not all short codes are readily assigned by your network operator for you but you can also choose from an array of available or vacant numbers. One short code could be utilized by up to 7 or eight price points although there were some limitations imposed by some carriers on what services can be combined only within the same short code.

Common short code format depends on a certain country. Short codes in the United States are typically 5 or 6 numerals long which range from 20000 up to 99999 on its 5 digit format and from 222222 up to 999999 on the 6 digits, a wide array of number sequence can be made out of this.

The importance of short codes can be summarized in two. 1st, a short code is the number paired to your application, thru this, the destination of the messages that any end users send is surely directed to your number because the short code basically that is paired to your application is the target number of the message that end users send, and 2nd these short codes are connected to the carrier’s invoice systems having a premium SMS rate or fee. If a message sent to end user originates from your own application’s short code, it will activate the premium billing. Moreover, short codes are much easier for clients to keep in mind.

These short codes can be acquired thru your network or service provider. It can be accomplished by filling out the order form that is required by almost all service providers. The form to be filled out is for premium SMS approval purposes in addition to the involved short code charter or lease fees.

Short code leasing can range from 3, 6, or 12 month periods. Arbitrary or random short codes can cost up to $500 monthly depending on the service provider and vanity CSC could reach up to $1,000 monthly. Lease disbursement needs to be outright for the entire lease period.

After the your premium SMS short code has been permitted and remunerated, no other client could use that except you but it does not necessarily mean of an outright approval of the campaign coupled to your own short code. You will need a separate carrier approval for each and every campaign that is linked to your short code. The executive requirements, together with the processing of approval will be handled by your premium SMS service provider.

Basic Beauty Tips

These past few months, I have been exposed to different products trainings that is a part of the system I am into now to build my dreams. These trainings are so nice that I really use to learn a lot aside from believing that these products do not only good in making people successful but also of true high quality.

Among the several trainings, I enjoyed most those in the skin care industry products. It is very seldom nowadays that you will get the kind of information they gave for free. And like the saying goes “If you found something of great value, it is your obligation to share it.” And so, some of the things I learned and knew that would benefit you is my pleasure to share. For sure you will like it or you may give additional information if you know more about the things I am going to share.

I am not actually a vein person. Actually I am someone lazy to be considered, but I have this little care about my look once in a while and truly the mirror can’t deny and so that “once in a while” is actually every morning and night now, because my mirror is right after my bed….hahaha. Without further a do and making this article more boring I shall start to share my tips to you.

Skin care and anti aging issues are highly in demand nowadays that’s why a lot of shops and products related to this exists anywhere and varies at different price. For those who can really afford, they can either go to high class spa, salon or clinic to maintain a young looking skin or buy expensive products. For those who can’t, they will just settle for what is within their budget. Whatever they can afford they should still know about the fundamental tips to get the most out of what you’d paid for.

Tips No. 1

Skin ranges from oily to dry. Both needs to be taken cared for but requires different types of care….remember that! Usually Clarifying system is for oily skin and Moisture Rich system is for dry skin type.

Tips No. 2

Each system is composed of three main products to actually get the best result. There should be cleanser, a toner and a cream or lotion. Cleanser alone will not maintain the beauty. Your skin should also be toned then moisturized. Use the products in exact order; cleanser, toner then moisturizer.

For those who have additional beauty regimen, apply them after the toner then lastly still apply moisturizer. Do this in the morning then in the evening.

Read labels because there are some products made only for daily use and there are those for night time. If you go wrong, the effect was not really bad but your money is lost.

Tips No. 3

Always apply the aforementioned products using your beauty fingers. Our beauty fingers are our ring fingers and middle fingers. They call it so because it’s the fingers with the most appropriate pressure for our face. Not too strong and not too weak.

Massage our face during each regimen using our beauty fingers in circular motion from bottom to top, inner to outer.

Don’t forget your neck, for moisturizer or cream put small part on the side near to thumb of our index finger and apply it on our neck just right below our chin dragging outside or upper motion.

There you go for now. Next time I hope I can share to you more. Actually, everybody is aging but at different rate. For sure nobody really wants to look old fast or gets older than their age. But because of the many stress, because of the lack of nutrition we get from our foods and the environmental effect we are in, we are having the hard time to slow down the rate of getting old. So we seek remedies from science and technology, if they have the budget. For those who can’t really afford I suggest you start disciplining yourself, eat the right nutritious food, lessen the stress and always face tomorrow with a big smile. You’ll see, you’ll gradually be much prettier than yesterday.- THE END
