I am not sure for how long it would work, but if it stops working and I come across any other promotion, I would update you.

I have a tip to share with you that I learned from my own experience. This is a secret that I used while searching for a job in UK. What happens is most of the UK consultants prefer to talk to candidates that are available in UK, but when you have received your HSMP approval, the candidates become pretty anxious to search for the job. Keeping in mind, that UK consultants won’t prefer to talk to International candidates on phone, it’s a huge hurdle in front of potentially good candidates who are ready to fly and just waiting to see right opportunities across or use the time in hand while they prepare to fly.

I would suggest you should -

1. Register online to major job search portals in UK like jobserve.com, cwjobs.co.uk, reed.co.uk

2. Your resume should be updated with your UK address (where you gonna live after landing in UK) and your UK phone number

Now you must be thinking what could you do with UK phone number when you are abroad? The benefit is depending on your experience and resume, UK job consultants can start giving you calls and that gets you some job leads and helps you to start communication with consultants and also build up your confidence.

3. Now your resume hows like you are living in UK already, so by the time all the process initiates, you are closer to flying down to UK and saves the waiting time for job process during you wait abroad to fly to UK.

Here is Skype Online Number comes to your rescue

When you want to have a UK phone number, and get in touch with consultants confidently, Skype Online Phone Number would help you to establish a UK phone number which can be redirected to your local phone number / mobile number in your country. For example: India, Pakistan, Srilanka, Japan, Korea etc.

This helped me a lot to establish connections with UK consultants much before I land here, and I contacted them back again when I really landed up and the process went quickly ahead as I saved on the time of initial communication. Skype Online Number charged me like $6 every month + incoming Skype call cost from UK to India. But that worth the investment while I was ready to spend GBP 2000 for first initial settlement cost.

How Skype Online Phone number can help your business abroad?

UK Online Phone Number can also help your business abroad if your customers are global, majorly in UK and US. You can buy these phone numbers and set them up on your website or letter heads. These phone number again can be redirected to your local phone numbers, establishing the smooth communication between you and your potential client.

I would suggest you not to go with 070 numbers in UK as they are mostly used by online scammers and that might affect you as well.

Could you ever imagined that your childhood hobby could make you thousands of grands? Just by childhood enthusiasm of collecting autographs of popular personalities could have been paying pension for your lifetime. Ha! Interesting discussion, hell ya!

This is one of the biggest return on investment without much investment you would ever see. Collecting autographs since childhood, or even trading them in your young age, and buying them when you grow up and later selling them for few grands is not a bad decision. Those autographs you collected as a hobby, can now become a money making machine. At least that’s what you would see at Nate D Sander’s website. My brain thinks about only money, that’s why I could only get impressed by the figures against each autograph or even a small autographed 8×10 frame. But no way, I would mean to forget the efforts behind building this up to a level.

Nate has started this in 1986 as an individual’s company and initially dealt with Hollywood autographs and signed photos. Now the same company is into multi-million dollar business by buying and selling autographs, collectible items, fine art. It’s making me believe that every other little special thing around me might make me few grands after 30-40 years when I would be beyond an age of being able to work. Could you imagine that civil war letters could bring you $800-850, when they were not of really that monitory value (of course by no means you can value them, they are invaluable that way) when they were bring written.

Nate Sanders has really done a good job in auctioning these items that they seem to have become respected and well known source of collectibles. You just name it, and they have collectible items for sports, photography, books, art, politics, entertainment - all.

Alright, so now your time to get impressed is over. Let your brains start working - and figure out if you have collected any signed photographs, autographs or Sports Memorabilia. I am not sure if all avenues we know to do the independent selling, would really work for us. Instead, I would suggest to approach such companies like Nate Sanders’ and sell our belongings to them for small commission and let them handle the rest.

I am sure some of you would definitely make most of this opportunity and make few bucks. Let other’s also know your casestudy or simply email me through contact page about how your hobby turned out to be in cash cow.

It’s festival time guys, I am already seeing lights and decoration in my offices, how about you? Everyday, I see colleagues around lighting up their desks, shopping for gifts for their friends and relatives. Many of them are behind the famous Wii Fit, some of them are still into digital cameras. But most of the focus is on electronic goods. Even I was mad like this for online shopping in 2005-06, that I almost spent $2-3K on shopping in thanksgiving time. Even my friends spent same money but they probably got less stuff in the same amount. How come?? It’s an interesting secret that should not be a secret anymore, but due to loads of new people coming online for shopping, it will be always a hidden secret for them.

I used to shop at Overstock, Best Buy, Buy.com, Circuit City, New Egg very often and I saved like 20% of my expenses by using Overstock.com promotion code and 10% on Best Buy coupon code. Now why not I would get more stuff in the same price? Any reason. But most of the people don’t know it and they miss the chance of saving some money on online shopping.

See you would be wondering how companies can offer such a discount only on entering some text. The companies already save lot of cost by selling online; like the cost of display, physical shop, employees’ salaries in shops etc. They just try to pass on the discounts to customers. They could offer direct discounts as well, and they do at times but by giving coupons they can track the sale by coupon code which is associated with the relevant festival or time of the year most of the times. Even sometimes if not cash discount, these offers can save you cost on shipping etc that are equally expensive while shopping online. I had used a Newegg.com promotion code that was valid for free shipping and had almost saved $100-200 on many of my items together.

Talked about the benefits, but where you can get some for now. I linked to a website that I recently found (I have linked to couple of such sites before too, to be specific last year). I will keep on finding such websites and bring them to you so you can also save some money on your online shopping this Christmas! Don’t go by the design of the website, it’s not that web 2.0 design, just a simple html one. But you get what you want inside, so then who cares! Still not a bad idea to look at the web design seriously.

As I predicted, the last quarter of 2008 would be little hectic for me to work on my blogs, and that started reflecting in my online earnings as well. You could sense that when I am posting my October earnings almost at the end of November.

UK Immigration on Tier 1 has proved to be a good decision for me. Fortunately, I could get into a job I like very quickly and like any job - it takes little time to settle down initially leaving little room for other activities.

Due to time crunch, my review orders slowed down but surprisingly direct text sale increased. I realized that this blog has become quite popular now, and advertised approached me directly and those deals materialized so I did not need to spend lot of time on webmaster forums. I am hoping to see similar orders for reviews as well for all my blogs. That would save lot of time in internet marketing :).

Without wasting lot of time, let me share my October earnings with you.

October 2008 earning breakup

• Private Sales like reviews, textlinks, banners: $955.39
• Google Adsense Revenue: $307.50 [Almost same as before]
• CPC programs like YPN, Adbrite, Infolinks: $538.33 [Drop of 15-25% than last month].
• Affiliate Sales, Misc checks: $207.00 [YSM program had closed last month, so it's a huge drop for me in affiliate program, but this month it seems to be started again and probably started giving away Yahoo £50 Credit Voucher again. I need to check the details of available coupons again, and post it for you.

Total Earnings of August 2008: $2008.22

Total Earning of 2008 [From 1st Jan 2008 to 30th Sep 2008]: $22,558.49 - Courtesy: Money meter

Target in remaining two months of 2008, Nov and Dec is - $2441.51

I would still need to work harder, specially looking at slow down in November earnings - not because of credit crunch but time crunch
