Finding your business niche
I have lots of different businesses. With only a couple of exceptions, all of my businesses only earn a little bit of money each. That's what I like. Truth is, I have so many different businesses that off the top of my head, I am not even sure how many different businesses I have. In fact, even if I sat down and started counting, I am not certain which ones I would count as actual businesses, some are so small, and things I do so seldom that I might not even count them. But, I suppose if they are something ...
My new PC!
In the past week or so, I purchased a new PC! It is kind of a departure for me, because this computer is much different than any other computer that I have bought in my lifetime. And, believe me, in my lifetime I have bought a lot of PCs too! What is so different about this PC? Well, a lot of things, and I'll be telling you about that later in the article. It all started out with my old laptop, a Compaq laptop that was only about 18 months old, or so. I started having problems with it. The monitor ...
Are stupid ideas a waste of time?
If you think about the title of this article, Are stupid ideas a waste of time?, of course you would say "Yes, they sure are." But, I would argue that they are not. Stupid ideas are not a waste of time, in fact, they are very valuable in my opinion! How could it be? Have you ever heard of brainstorming? Do you know what that is? For those who are unfamiliar with the concept, brainstorming is a process of thinking of all kinds of ideas. The best way for a brainstorming session to be conducted is to have a group of people, ...
Pulling the trigger
What kind of person are you? Do you pull the trigger, or do you just talk? Personally, I am a trigger puller, I feel it's the only way to live life. Most people, though, I feel, are talkers, and rarely pull the trigger. Do you know what I'm talking about? What do I mean about "pulling the trigger?" Well, what I mean is this... if you get an idea for something, do you actually do it, or do you talk about it, then promptly just blow it off? I hear a lot of people tell me of ideas they have for some ...
This and that… and the other!
Well, it's been a busy few weeks in the Martin household in Davao. I've been busy with a lot of different things, it seems. I suppose that the holidays are like that. So, I thought I'd just write a "general" article that is really not about anything in particular. Just an update of what has been going on, and maybe an update of some of my more recent articles here on MindanaoBob, my personal website. One of the big pieces of news here, in my opinion, is that I have a new cat! I should say that "we" (as a family) ...
Are you looking for Google?
Over the past month or so, I have had a lot of people ask me "how can I get Google's US site?" Well, you see, Google checks your IP address to find out where in the world you are, and they give you the Google site that is appropriate for your location. Since I am living in the Philippines, when I first go to Google, it takes me to Google Pilipinas, the Philippine Google site. And, on top of that, the results of my search are in Tagalog! Since I don't speak Tagalog, this can be a bit of a problem! ...

I’m going to Nyeri!
Nyeri is a district in the Central Province of Kenya, in Africa. I’m gonna be going there! Well, through my coffee cup, anyway! That’s right, I’m not going to physically go there and visit the place, but I just got two coffees that originated from the Nyeri area in Kenya! Yes, the Postman visited yesterday to notify me that my fifteen pound box of green coffee beans had arrived... [Read more]
A new holiday?
We’ve all heard the complaint. Most of us have probably made the complaint at least a few times over the years. I would say it’s a valid complaint too. What complaint am I talking about? Well, I’m talking about people complaining that “Christmas is too commercial,” or “it’s all about gifts,” or “we have taken Christ out of Christmas,”... [Read more]

Leveraging your online popularity

But, there are other things that you need to do as well, if you want to establish a serious online business. One of your first steps is going to be to develop a following online.
