InfoBarrel

Listening to SmartPassiveIncome podcast session 15, I learned about InfoBarrel. A website where you can put articles and get paid when they are viewed.

This is a good way to start to write, and the article must be at least 350 words, so it could fit with the 500 words a day of Jeff Goins. You double the motivation, earn money and complete the challenge.
Now, we just need to find a subject to write about.
In the Podcast, Pat Flynn is talking about what subject you need to choose. In summary, choose something that you like and can write about for very long. Choose something you're passionate about.

So I might start to write some articles on InfoBarrel, I just need to find a subject. I like to learn, so I might learn about something and write about it. But it might take more then a day to write more them 500 words.

Has Micheal from ScrivenerCoach did, if you have a hard time learning about something, that's maybe a need.

Happy learning.

Affiliate Links

On Pat Flynn's Podcast SmartPassiveIncome.com in the session 15, he talks about how to make money with a online.
One of the way that I'll be trying now is the Affiliate Links. It's not an easy way, since the users of your site needs to click on your links, so you need to have traffic on your site before that could be profitable. But you need to start somewhere so I subscribed to the Amazon.ca Affiliate, so I could try that.

Amazon.ca is great because you can promote almost any product. So this is a good way to start in the passive income world.

And I added the affiliate links to the Scrivener Coach post. Since Scrivener is a tool that I like and I do think that it's very powerful, but like Photoshop, the tools is very complex and training is not a bad idea.

Happy learning.

The importance of sleep

I always thought that sleep was very important, even thought I could stay up a couple days in a row.
My friends say that I have 3 batteries.

But listening to this episode of Lewis Howes's podcast did help me link some stuff I already noticed in my sleep patterns.

The Power of Sleep for Entrepreneurs and Elite Athletes

Ameer Rosic is a bit intense and extreme, but he does have arguments. I would like to see and the studies he's talking about, so I will do some research. Especially about the effect of sugar on our body and other side subject he's talking. Most of the things he's talking about sleep, I can relate and believe that it's true. For the rest I will have to do more research. So I will do a post about the other side subjects.

Based on the National Sleep Foundation an adult should sleep between 7 to 9 hours a day.
They have nice tips to help you go to sleep but the site has a lot of other very useful informations about sleep.

Happy learning and sweet dreams.

Movie Review: American Sniper

I just saw the movie American Sniper. It was great, intense and very touching.

I'm not a big war movie fan. But after listening the episode 130 of Rich Roll's podcast, I told myself it could be a good movie. I do not live in the USA, I don't know a lot of people in the army, so I don't have a lot of interest in this kind of movie.

‘AMERICAN SNIPER’ SCREENWRITER JASON HALL: FINDING PURPOSE IN TRAGEDY

But after listening to the podcast with the script writer Jason Hall, it go me curious about all the human side of the war. As Jason says: Some people enlist in the army to kill people, others to save people. Chris Kyle was the second type, and this is what makes that movie great.

The movie is based on a book that Chris Kyle wrote with two (2) authors. (Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice)
The first version: American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History and the movie version American Sniper Movie Tie-In Edition.


Happy viewing

Scrivener

I bought this software in a MacHeist 4 bundle. It looks like a good tool for writing and noting ideas about stuff you want to write.

For a novel, you a place to describe the characters, so you can put more detailed ideas about the future of this character.

For research documents, you a research folder where you can put information about research before writing something in the text itself.

But yesterday, I found the scrivener coach. A website I found listening to SmartPassiveIncome podcast session 142.

And I went to get the free training available as described in the podcast.

The video is looking good, and the tips are useful. If you're doing some back and forth with an editor. Which I don't, at least not yet.

The videos are short and straight to the point. Maybe a little bit too much detailed. Maybe being an IT guy helps me understand some stuff faster. But it's very well detailed.

Since I started to blog, it might help me get blog post more complete. So I might have found the ressource I need to make the best use of this software.

Here is an article interesting on the ScrivenerCoach blog.

Smart Passive Income

Today, I started listening to a new podcast: Smart Passive Income Podcast.

I first heard about it on The School of Greatness episode 20.

This is a great way to make money, but you have to work to create content first.

Pat Flynn: How to Let Go, Create Passive Income and Achieve Your Greatness

Pat want to make it clear and transparent, he even puts is previous month earnings on his website.
I think all politicians should do that, so we could know who is paying them.

The interview with Lewis Howes is very inspiring. So I was curious about Pat Flynn's podcast. The first session of podcast is inspiring and get me eager to listen to more, so subscribe to the podcast on iTunes. Has I did.

So I might write an other post about the SmartPassiveIncome podcast later to let you know how I like it.

Happy learning

Rich Roll

The episode is about Rich Roll, a normal fast food eating guy, that at 39 was short breath after climbing half a stair, that transforms itself into an Ultra-Athlete at 46. That's an amazing make over.

Here is his bio: Rich Roll

The transformation of this guy is amazing.

Rich Roll: From Fast Food King to the Vegan Ultra-Athlete

The interview is very inspiring. Inspiring anybody to get better, to take our lives into motioned have an healthier life. If this guy was able to complete a UltraMan, anybody can if they want, it just takes time and hard work.

I started to listen to his podcast The Rich Roll Podcast, they are more zen and spiritual then the School of Greatness. And more pro-vegan, publicizing the vegan ways. But still very inspiring.

The episode with Kyle Thiermann is very inspiring. Here is Kyle Thiermann presentation at TedTalks.
