International interview - Darren Rose, an internationally known blogger, author of ProBlogger,. Net

So, meet – Darren Rose!

Thank you for having set aside time for interviews. Introduce yourself, please. Who have you worked before and now what do you do?

Last 5 years I have professionally engaged in blogging. Before that I worked as a church administrator.

You act a popular blog ProBlogger.net and is one of the founders of the project b5media.com. How do you get to plan your time?

My life is very hard, and I work a lot. I try to allocate to each of its activities some time to spend time with family and relax. The more discipline during the working day, the more time to rest.

How many visits your site?

I’m three blogs – Problogger.net, Digital-Photography-school.com and TwiTip.com. On average, their total attendance of 2.5 million visitors a month.

Tell me, how do you manage to stand out among the competition?

Much of the reason is that I was one of the first bloggers, who began writing about earnings in the Internet. Being the first in any subject – a very big advantage.

I also think that another reason for my success that I have always worked hard to write a really high-quality, useful and practical content for all these five years. I try to make my blog as useful as possible, and visitors will feel it.

Where do you draw inspiration for their posts?

I get inspiration in two ways:
1. My personal experience – that I learned how to experiment and what I think.
2. Questions that come from my readers – I pay them much attention.

What are your favorite social network?

I am most active on Twitter @ problogger and Facebook.com / problogger, the latter, though smaller. If a day were more than 24 hours – I would have made more use Facebook!

what advice would you give the bloggers?

Make high-quality blogs. The key to successful blogging is to help people solve any problems with the blog. Write as much as possible useful positions, and visitors will not only return again and again, but will their friends and acquaintances.

No matter how much has been written about the fact that our thoughts are material, few people are regularly being paid to dream. One day, just thinking, you know, it’s nice to present themselves in a new house or in your own villa on the ocean, imagine how capricious the head gives rise. And, as it may seem, all this is absurd, subconsciously we are looking for ways to achieve their dreams. It is proposed to act as psychologists: to present and experience all that we wish to survive.

One of the most effective ways to visually present their willingness is to create a so-called model, or field of their desires. Typically, this sheet of paper or drawing paper on which you want to draw your dream. Of course, many will not be able to fully display, for example, a house in classical style with a pond on the site, or climb up the career ladder. Therefore, psychologists advise to find photos or pictures that would look like our dream come true. Images should be cut and glued on the drawing paper. In order to materialize the idea, the Council also place this poster in a conspicuous place to remind every day about the wishes and, of course, create a positive mood.

But, as a rule, most people do not find either enough time (or may not believe in the possibility), or magazines, which would be suitable picture. In addition, place the sheet of drawing paper in sight in his apartment is not always acceptable. Come to the aid of computer technology. And, as again it would have seemed ridiculous, visualize your dreams, you can use standard programs that are installed on any “working machine”.

So, step one. For starters, you can assemble a collection of photographs and various images, which would have displayed as accurately as possible your wishes. This can be done via the Internet. Virtually every one of us every day holds the World Wide Web for several hours. Accidentally seeing your favorite model of car or inviting corner in a faraway country, where I would like to get, is to keep the picture, then to build his dream on a small crumbs and create your own album desires. Photos from the global network does not occupy much space.

Step Two – directly establish their album desires with a computer. To compile fairly common and familiar to all MS Word. Convenient program is a PowerPoint, part of a standard set of MS Office. This software is for creating presentations – your dream can be made into a slideshow with music and enjoy every day.

But it is absolutely irrelevant what kind of method you choose, the main thing in achieving a dream – it is a positive mood. But even in the absence of these factors, you will agree, nice and helpful distraction from the stuff only to see the beautiful photos. To put images in your album desire to save the picture or just copy it into one of the selected programs. All photos should definitely sign, saying the way his desire. And at this point it is important not to forget that you can not write in the future, should submit that this is a picture of your – already achieved a dream! That is, placing photos of beautiful cottages, you need to write that «this is my house», not «a house I want».

Another important point in the process of visualization is to work out the details. This refers to the detailed «description» dreams – copying photos at home, we should not forget that in many rooms, which must also be decorated to your taste. And to find appropriate images today quite simply on the Internet.

Easy visualization of dreams with kompyuterp lies in the fact that any file you can always easily add new photos and replace the existing, if part of the design project of your future has already happened, and new goals. And we should not neglect Viewing your finished presentation of their desires – the process will give you pleasure, will help raise the spirits escape from everyday affairs, and most importantly, can also inspire, prompt ideas about how to achieve the desired.
