      "body": "Putting up a company would of course require a lot of things, to get straight to the point, you need a capital. To make money requires money as well. But of course, with the versatility the internet offers, there are many ways you could find that could help optimize the potential of your site or business in generating traffic. While there are ways to jumpstart your traffic flows, many sites don’t have the resources that others have to generate more traffic for your site. Well, you don’t have to spend a cent; all you need is the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.\nHow sweet it is to have more traffic for your site without spending a single cent.  Now it’s a sure thing that many sites have articles that offer tips and guidelines in how to generate traffic using only free methods. Because it is possible, you don’t need to speed a single cent, it may take time, to say honestly, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. You get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at least you get a fighting chance with some of these free methods I’m about to tell you.\nTake advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss about lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer.  Another great advantage is that you know what you are getting into and you will be prepared. With online communities and forums you can build a reputation for your company. Show them what you are made of and wow them with your range of expertise about the subject, with that you can build a reputation and build trust with the people in your expertise and knowledge.\nYou can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining articles. If you make it really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people there will be that will go to your site increasing your traffic. \n![city-lifestyle-26272731.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWvB9Bxs12e4Z5uc9hrNLPKqaL8mEhfBobaDn1sWSPVx3/city-lifestyle-26272731.jpg)\nAnother great idea is trading links with other sites. You don’t have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster. With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sites. Every traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and visit your site as well. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche. Write articles that could pique the attention of people that have interest in your product. Try writing articles that will provide tips and guides to other aficionados. Writing articles that provide good service and knowledge to other people would provide the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs.  \nMany sites offer free submission and posting of your articles. When people find interest in your articles they have a good chance of following the track by finding out where the article originated. Include a link or a brief description of your company with the article and there’s a great probability that they will go to your site. Write good content for your site. Many search engines track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used. It is not a requirement that a content should be done by a professional content writer. You could do your on but you have to make content for your site that is entertaining as well as informational. It should provide certain requirements as well as great quality. \nGenerally, internet users use search engines to find what they are looking for. Search engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With the right keywords, you could get high rankings in search engine results without the costs. All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it. \n\n.",

      "body": "Many people feel that photo blogging is the most exciting kind of blogging that exists. Building and maintaining a photo blog is no more difficult than creating and updating a text-based blog, and many people feel that the internet's high speed, full-color technology reaches the pinnacle of its appeal with the transmission of images. Posting photographs in a blog format on a daily, weekly, or occasional basis is a great way to express yourself while reaching viewers in an emotionally charged and aesthetically engaging way, and surfing photo blogs can help you to get a whole new perspective on the world in which we live. \n    Many people who run image blogs are photographers by trade, but photo blogging is also very popular among hobbyists and amateur shutterbugs. To be certain, a lot of the most popular photo blogs have gained attention because the pictures on them are of the highest artistic caliber, and a lot of the people who run these striking blogs are graduates of prestigious art schools and have impressive professional portfolios. However, some of the most well known and most often visited photo blogs are as notable for their concepts as for the pictures themselves. Certain photo blogs, like the popular \"Cute Overload\" which features picture after picture of adorable animals, are more about the thematic content of the pictures than they are about the style in which the snapshots are taken. \n![vlcsnap-2017-07-10-20h48m54s29.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXUZguKgoXJ1YwVmRteKX6Ltx7naApy35W26W6Ng9ifDa/vlcsnap-2017-07-10-20h48m54s29.png)\n   The fact that photo blogs range from forums to display the work of highly skilled artisans to playful collections of curiosities shows that photo blogging is a truly diverse form. The fact that photo blogs are so easy to build and to update makes this kind of visual communication very democratic, and enables people at all skill levels to become a part of the global conversation about the nature and value of photography today. Whether you are an artist or hobbyist who wants to create a photo blog, or whether you are just somebody who enjoys learning about new places and things, spending some time looking at the most popular photography blogs on the internet can be a very rewarding endeavor. You can travel to another place or another time by seeing pictures of faraway locations and long-gone eras. You can see your own neighbourhood with fresh eyes by discover how local artists have photographed the town or city in which you live. Photo blogging allows people to communicate all of these things and more, which makes it a very exciting part o the modern blogosphere. If the best thing about we technology is that it allows people to reach each other in a very personal way from across great distances, then in many ways photo blogs are the most successful kind of web sites.",

      "body": "Corporate blogging is a relatively new idea, and the jury is still out on whether it will succeed. This controversial marketing tool may be the beginning of a new kind of advertising strategy, or it may fizzle out in a matter of months. Many companies are looking for ways to capitalize on the blogging trend, and many of these corporations have determined that a great way to ride the blogging wave is to keep a blog on their corporate website. These blogs are often created to appeal to the demographic that the company needs to court, and the content may have quite a lot to do with the activities of the corporation, or it may have very little to do with the company itself. Often, a corporate blog will focus on the kinds of content likely to attract the desired surfers, even if that content is not related to the product or service that the company provides. \n![blogs and articles.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbLXJwQYJDJBhheS1Pu7RokyYFJQBCM7DRH2msFzmvWUa/blogs%20and%20articles.png)\n Some bloggers feel that corporate blogging is a kind of validation for the blogging movement, and shows that this exciting new medium has really infiltrated the mainstream. Other bloggers consider the kind of viral marketing that corporate blogs practice to be unethical or distasteful. In any case, watching the evolution of corporate blogs and whether they survive and proliferate or fail and disappear promises to provide some interesting insight into today's consumers.",

Video blogs very effectively grab the attention of web surfers, and people are much more likely to become excited about the dynamic content of a video blog than they are likely to find a written posting very thrilling. The more enthusiastic viewers are about a site, the quicker the word of mouth spreads, and the more traffic the site will get.\n![ww1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcSFLHfpLeLea3gErKnH3u5cUSRiH5kSDypeqX3qEx9cX/ww1.jpg)\nOf course, there are plenty of disadvantages to video blogging as well. Hosting a v-blog requires quite a bit of server space, which can make it difficult to get started. It takes more time to process and upload a video file than it does to dash off a quick bit of text, which means that running and updating a video blog can be quite a bit of work. In addition, web surfers sometimes grow frustrated with the slow loading times of the files on many video blogs. Whether you opt for a video blog or not depends on what kind of subject matter you want to cover, and how much time you can devote to video blogging. Before you decide to pursue a video blog, consider if there is an easier way for you to get your message across.",

While it may be tempting to add a visitor counter, a flashy background, an exciting new font, and a cluster of quirky animated gifs to your blog, this kind of plan can easily backfire. The key to getting the most from free blog tools is being selective.  It is a great idea to learn about all of the kinds of free blogging tools that are available so that you can make an informed decision about what to add to your blog, but try to remember that just because you can have something doesn't mean that you need it. Practice restraint and only choose the options that you think will really be useful. If you can find out how many visitors are reading your blog by checking your traffic statistics, a visitor counter is likely to add unnecessary clutter to your page. If your blog is text-based, a flashy background can be more of a distraction than an benefit. Be realistic about assessing what kinds of blog accessories will help you realize your vision and improve your site. Remember that even a blog tool that doesn't cost you any cash may not be an asset in the long run.![market research.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSkpH9c2KevMUcmf4i7v6BAWJefz3wYzRM2kuYLaYUmRG/market%20research.png)",

Blogging is a great way to get the word out to consumers about your product or service, and it can even be useful for inspiring employee loyalty and helping you keep your workers at peak morale. If you are looking for a way to take your business to the next level, consider what starting a blog might be able to do for you.  Blogging for business owners has a lot in common with all other types of blogging, but it has its own unique pitfalls and strengths. The key to having a successful blog as a business owner is keeping your goals clear and concrete at every step of your blogging adventure. It can be all to easy to get sidetracked, especially if you are just learning about the exciting possibilities of blogging technology, but if you want your blog to succeed you need to stay focused. Write up a plan for how often you will update, how you will promote your blog and retain readers, whether you will feature photographs or video, and other aspects of your blog, and then stick to it with the same kind of determination that you used when you built your company.![cryptocurrency watch.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVkEY2LK4dV166tyZGKwgy2NBp6VbCbBWRBBguSck7FS4/cryptocurrency%20watch.jpg)",

Whether you\nare starting up a new web site aimed at bloggers or\nwhether you are looking to make your existing blogging\nsite more distinctive, the key to building and\nmaintaining a site that will capture the interest and\nattention of the blogging community is finding your\nniche. If you can fill a unique need in a way that no\nother web site does, you'll be able to build a lasting\nreadership among web surfers. Once you have\ndiscovered a niche, you will still have a lot to do, but\nfinding your place in the blogosphere is the place to\nbegin. \n\nEvery great blogging web site starts with a great idea,\nand you can't build a successful site that will last\nwithout one. There are many great sites aimed at\ntoday's bloggers, and competition for the attention of\nthis growing demographic is fierce. To make your\nblogging web site stand out from the pack, you will\nneed to offer something that no other site is currently\noffering, or you will need to do the same thing that an\nalready popular site does but in a more impressive or\nvaluable way. \n\nOne way to discover an ideal model for your blogging\nweb site is to look at the sites that have successfully\ncaptured a blogging audience already to determine if\nyou can appropriate some of their strategies to help\nrealize your vision. Of course, you will also need to add\na unique flair to your project in order to stand apart\nfrom your competition. Many people agree that the web\nsites that do the best in today's market are the sites that\nhave the most personality. The fiercely individual\nsurfers who are bloggers are a demographic that\nresponds especially strongly to personality, so consider\nhow you can give your site a unique and attractive\nfeeling by lending your own voice and sensibility to\nyour site's design and content. \n\nOnce you have a great idea for your site, have\npinpointed a special niche that you are well equipped to\nfill, and have infused the site with personality, the next\nstep is figuring out how to get the word out to bloggers.\nIn the long run, a great idea just isn't enough to propel\nyour blogging web site to success. You will need to\ndraft a smart and realistic marketing plan in order to\ndraw readers to your site. Once you hook a blogger,\nyour great content will keep them coming back, but it is\nvital to get that first glance or your site won't have a\nchance to shine.",

This is very important to the future of the currencies and the entire communities who lately have focused on flaunting their new found wealth, which technically it is still some investors’ money right?. The founder of Ethereum was on tweeter threatening to leave, whatever that means. The founder tweeted \n![cryptocurrency watch.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmebGuwC8mHnUDCvCAsUYNnRKAJtxNUTG1qs6HtRF2mJUE/cryptocurrency%20watch.jpg)\n“If all that we accomplish is Lambo memes and immature puns about \"sharting\", then I WILL leave.Though I still have a lot of hope that the community can steer in the right direction”\n\nGovernments have a hard time understanding the importance of the currencies to the general population and they clearly don’t bother with the technicalities. Over the past few week, the value of currencies and the industry has a direct hit effectively after a new government policy is announced. South Korea, for example, has informed its regulatory bodies that it is yet to form a decision on whether to ban all the trading of virtual currencies. This might also be the reason for mounting criticism from investors and online communities over regulations on the technology. There is a 3 million and counting Koreans who consider cryptocurrencies as part of their assets. Now we understand why it is going to take time for any government to take time and not rush on such a situation. The government has taken a stance to keep on some current financial regulations and on keeping a close eye on the market to watch for any kind of manipulation or financial fraud.\nOf all the African countries Nigerian central bank has given the most positive answer yet. As a matter of fact, it compared cryptocurrencies with the internet “. The Central Bank of Nigeria confirmed that the “central bank cannot control or regulate bitcoin. The central bank cannot control or regulate blockchain. Just the same way no one is going to control or regulate the internet. We don’t own it.” Other African countries decide to give a warning to their citizens about being careful with new technologies and take time to understand it. This was the tone taken by countries like Swaziland and South Africa. The rest of the countries in the world from China to Canada don’t seem to want to deal with cryptocurrencies especially when regulatory bottlenecks start popping up every now and then.\n\n![alt-cryptocurrencies.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ4anLq5pxsVKQgSv97a2wTxx3zfNTV4gj3kbWxGA9KjP/alt-cryptocurrencies.jpg)",

This predictive turn of events is mainly related to how human beings live with their environment and how they want to exploit the resources at their disposal. More than half of the world is predicted to live in urban population which occupies very small percent of the earth’s crust while it utilizes almost all of the resources produced by nations. Challenges that are facing the modern population forces it to adapt to new technologies that help us manage lifestyle in urban populated regions. The challenges that the smart living and greening initiatives are expected to bring changes in several lifestyle areas like real estate projects, transportation products and technology consumerism with a dose of environmental sustainability.\nSo where are smart and green cities\n \n![smart cities 1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfPkDudQjrMnCekq88gotNh2VQyCGwpuVD4ssThWuZgC5/smart%20cities%201.png)\nRegions like Germany are leaders in Europe where public and private partnership are paving the way for a much smarter and greener urban dwelling for the citizens. The city of Duisburg in Germany has signed a memo of understanding (MoU) with a well-known international information and communications technology company, Huawei, to work together on smart city development. The plan of the city is to make an innovative digital urban dwelling that can make up a model city for others.  Intelligent networks are meant to manage public systems like reads and traffic and internet connection and broadband in institutions and public places. It should not be a that Zurich is another smart city with sustainable goals and renewable energy plans that will see them become the first 2000 watts nations they also have a green city project that plans to preserve and increase all green spaces as allocated by the government.\nAll Asian tigers are engaged in making their cities smart and they have been on the forefront in raising concern that smart cities are not paying as much attention to social and environmental problems as they are paying on the business aspects of this new model of lifestyle Business Daily in Asia can are quoted saying “a 24 hour smart water meter should only work if there is abundant and clean water for common individuals.” Energy utilization is a priority for the Asian giants as they are very dependent on the manufacturing economy which is quite energy intensive and relies on its availability distribution and affordability for any growth or change. Smart cities are popping up in all regions in the world from the USA to Africa and South America. It is a phenomenon that I going to play a big role in urban 21st-century development \n The technologies that are influential to these initiatives by urban societies are renewable energy storage, internet of things, big data management. The real estate and the architecture of smart cities are not going to differ from normal cities, the connectivity is what is considered smart, and how they interact with their environment is considered green. Smart and green cars which use renewable energy are less pollutant and their energy use in the long term is manageable compared to their fuel counterparts. We are getting to a point where the general welfare of our environment is expanding from our homes to our cities. We want to control and manage every aspect of modern life through technological, engineering insights and innovations to have a sustainable  future\n![smart cities.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcq7C9t74tyoWWtt775ZimKt3rhrfceKicbFXrzaK4FH1/smart%20cities.jpg)",

Both application are platforms for writing scripts , digital assets and programs which you can transact between peers with the exclusion of all possible intermediaries. The choice to pick falls between a user and an investor. And if you’re a developer functionality of the two is almost the same so why not try both because it’s too for brand loyalty for developers https://steemitimages.com/DQmenRSyENtyJXwhs9ARnx7dgKeZAf8gVMK7xQ7H6x2iqf1/neo-vs-ethereum-cryptocanucks-head-to-head-smart-contracts.jpg)![neo.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUhk51caQ9ZMiKopfiJC9NtJ2RD4axYYdNoEJ7t4TeTqW/)  Ethereum is bigger in valuation and volumes that it move which moves currently it’s the most valued and NEO follows but is too early to call it. Let’s understand the mission of these two companies, Ethereum aims at being that one platform for developers who are their most important users to develop DApps to create the much anticipated “web 3.0”. NEO is another block chain start-up that had its beginnings in github. It uses the technology and digital identity to help create digital assets using smart contracts by their uses to create an awaited “smart economy”. \n![Ethereumpic1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmW8WvdtqxrQLzkJoy8oKDbrK5EFQHST4GZ8ndZpYs7Fyq/Ethereumpic1.png)\nA web 3.0 is a decentralized world wide web where most users own and control the resources on the web unlike now, the web is just a few big nodes of Google, Facebook, Amazon,Alibaba and the mega caps. On the other end there is a smart economy. A smart economy tries to put physical and digital and physical assets to the block chain where they can be identified with proof of ownership. Smart contracts and digital identity will be handy for communication and transactions. Now users and investors can start making their pick",
