Fiverr - a genuine review

I recently started a Fiverr account as a seller and thought of doing a genuine review. Till now the experience was bit of a mix. So let's dive deeper.

What are the things I liked? Well, honestly I liked the idea of Freelancing since I myself is a freelancer. The things which makes Fiverr different from other similar platforms like Freelancer.com and Upwork.com is that, it's still a maturing platform and does not have much competitions except certain areas. One other thing that catched my eye was the seller levels. Other than the ratings buyers give, there are ways you can get badges like "Top Rated Seller". The also released a new feature called "Pro Verification" which is gaining much popularity lately.

Before you get too much excited about these, lets quickly take a peak at what I didn't like during the short tenure. Like any other platform, being a newbie it's extremely difficult to get you first few orders and thereby the reviews. Another thing I noticed is the strict "Terms of Conditions" that you are not supposed to exchange contact informations. That's right, no phone number, no email, no skype and if their AI detect that you are trying to exchange contacts, you will be suspended. However, they have a very nice chat system integrated into the system. Another thing that I'm not conviced is that they take a whooping 20% cut on your sales. One final thing to add is that I read so many compaints that the customer support is in favor of the buyers and not sellers. Many sellers have had very bad experience abusive buyers and yet the support team was buyer-sided itseems. I don't have any such personal experience though.

Alright, keeping aside the pros and cons, lets come to the point. Is a Fiverr profile worth it? My take is definetly an yes, provided you are genuine. I will be updating this page with more contents on how I managed to get 100s of sales in just 20 days. Stay tuned. Follow or subscribe in email to get these exclusive contents.

Samsung coming up with foldable smart phones in 2016

Its been a while, smart phone lovers all over the world are waiting for something new in the smartphone technology. According to SamMobile, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has just published an application last week, which the tech Giant Samsung filed earlier this year. Samsung filed a similar patent application in South Korea in 2014, so it could be that the product will be released there first before it’s rolled out to other markets around the world. 

The project is named Project Valley (or project V). The Project Valley phone will carry model number SM-G929F. The Galaxy S6 edge+ has model number SM-G928, and the very small change in the foldable device’s model number suggests it could have specifications similar to the S6 edge+, with the foldable display being the highlight. From the information what is available, it looks like Samsung has developed a new 'hinge system' for implementing a foldable display. It’s a rather basic approach that would see a display placed on a mesh-like material with the hinge then allowing the user to fold the display, making a V shape in the process of closing or opening it. Samsung has already proved that they are pioneers in dealing with curved edges by Samsung S6 Edge itself.

The details around the patent were released first by Sam Mobile, and according to them the release would be initially in the Markets of United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, South Korea, France, Poland, Ireland and Nordic countries. Clearly US market is not in their focus right now but they would focus on more markets later on. Below is an ad about the concept which Samsung released in 2014

Hack Tata Docomo Sim for high speed 3G internet at 2G cost (2012 February)

Tata Docomo leaves one more loophole unnoticed. Now you can browse internet at 3G speed in the cost of 2G pack itself. Follow the below steps carefully. It is so simple and easy. But you should first read it completely including the precautions I have mentioned below.

1. Recharge your mobile for the lowest 3G pack available at your place. In my area, it is at Rs.9 for 10Mb. According to regions it will change from Rs.9 to Rs.11 . To find what is the lowest pack in your region, dial *141#  and select 3G internet.
2. Connect the internet using the access point named TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET. If you don't have the settings, sms INTERNET to 52270 and save the settings as default.
3. Using the default browser of your phone, just load your homepage; for instance www.google.com or something. You will see the page loading in 3G speed since it is connected to 3G or H tower.
4. Now the trick begins; With the internet connected, just dial *141# and select the 2G internet recharge packs. Select the most suited one for you. It ranges from Rs.5 (50Mb) to Rs 65 (2.5GB) or even above. Then your gprs plan get changed, but still will be connected to 3G tower itself..!
5. If you select Rs.5, then your gprs data remaining will be 50Mb. So, in total for 9+5= Rs.14, you get 50Mb 3G internet. Think if you recharge for Rs.65, then for 9+65= Rs.74, you will get 2.5Gb internet in 3G speed..!!

Now some of the precautions you should take:

• Your account should have enough balance for the two recharges mentioned. For example, if you want 2.5Gb internet, you should have at least Rs.75 balance. If you want 50Mb, you should have a minimum balance of Rs.15.
• If the connection gets cancelled due to any reasons, do not continue, since the tower might get exchanged.
• Don't use this trick if you are travelling since the tower may get exchanged.

How to browse internet from computer using Samsung Android phones (Galaxy Series) as modem

I have seen in many blogs and forums where users asking about how to connect Samsung Android phones like Galaxy Y, Galaxy Pop, Galaxy Ace and so on. The problem is, the steps for this is explained nowhere  in the manuals or websites. The CD that you get with the Galaxy series named Samsung Kies is of no use on this issue. Some websites are spreading the wrong news that you will need a software called Samsung PC Studio. PC Studio is a just like the PC Suite for Nokia phones and is actually developed by Nokia itself for Samsung. However, the truth is you don't need any softwares or third party connections to connect and browse through computer using Galaxy phones. Follow these simple steps:

1. Connect the Samsung Galaxy Series phone to the PC using the USB Connector you got with the phone.
2. In the phone, go to Settings>>Wireless and networks>>Mobile networks and tick and check-box "Use packet data". This will enable packet data connection on the phone.
3. Now in the phone itself, go to Settings>>Wireless and networks>>Tethering and portable hotspot and tick the check-box "USB tethering".
4. Thats it!! Just wait a few seconds for the Computer to get connected automatically. Enjoy.. 

Maximum amount that you get for an adsene click

  The maximum amount that you can get for an adsense account is based on a number of factors, like the no.of visitors per month, percentage of visitor's who clicks your ad, the quality of ad etc. How ever you can make an estimate of the average amount you get for each click from the CPC data in your blogger account. CPC means Cost-per-Click. This actually depends on the ad. As you know the ads you get in adsense is from the Google's Adwords Campaigns. There is an option in Adwords to set the maximum amount for each day for an ad. It is a part of this amount, that Google pays to its Adsense publishers, for each click. You can find your earning for your current month using the following formula:

Earning per month = (No. of visitors per day) X 30 X  CTR X  CPC

  where, CTR = Click-through-Rate(Percentage of total visitors clicking ads) 

      and CPC = Cost-per-Click( Revenue you get for each click)

So, in order to maximize your earnings, try increasing your CTR by placing the ads effectively. Ad placement is a very important tool to get more out of your adsense.
