The transition to WordPress & self hosting: 1million1year.net/blog

These days the trends in blogging are:
1. get a domain name for your blog (well, I have a few...I recommend GoDaddy.com);
2. get a self hosting solution.

The 2 features allows you to have better control over your work....If you want to monetize your blog, then you have to do it seriously. You can't afford that your work for a few months or years to be on other people's hands!

Also, by having a domain name, you increase your search engine ranking.

As far as I've seen, the greatest majority of professional bloggers & Internet Marketers, choose WordPress - state-of-the-art publishing platform...When I've started my "1 Million in 1 Year Challenge", my previous amateur-blogging experience was with Blogspot and small with Wordpress, so I thought I can choose the same. But as daily I try to learn more & improve, I've reached the conclusion that WordPress is the best choice, so from now on, you can follow me on my new blog (I've imported the posts from here):

Soon enough I promise you to come with a more professional looking theme, like "big guys of blog": John Chow, Problogger, Yaro Starak, etc.

I wish you all funny & profitable blogging, see you at my new blog address:

From Charles Ponzi to Bernard Madoff: answers to CRISIS?

Alternative title:

" www.1Zillion1Year.OFF - How to make 1 Zillion dollars in 1 year (or faster!) cheating OFFline!"

Being an economist, I've tried to find an answer (or a few) to the question: Why we have crisis? I never believed that a crisis like this would ever strike planet earth...but it did happen...and it's happening NOW!

I remember my Belgium friend Martin ( http://www.kuikens.com/ ), he is economist and traded on Amsterdam Stock exchange. 2-3 years ago before the crisis, he said to me that the world economy will fall, especially because of real estate market from USA (if I remember well). Anyway, I didn't listen to him, I was thinking that he was saying this just because of his pesimistic life philosophy. But he was right, and crisis came...so "unexpectedly"....

The other days I was reading a Spanish newspaper ( El Periodico ), and I was "surprised" to read a Swiss private-banker's opinion that crisis was generated by "greed, immorality & irresponsibility"...Clear???

Well, it couldn't be more clear than that! I've worked in many countries having many jobs from tourism to real estate, including the building-construction area: illegal workers, illegal business owners, no social security, no protection equipment, no holidays, no contracts, no quality, corrupted Working Inspection, no medical service, easy loans from banks for construction, real estate scammers, artificially increased prices for buildings by real estate agencies, easy money games: ILLEGAL, GREEDY & IRRESPONSIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICE!

"Surprisingly" (or not?), The Wall Street movie transforms in reality (again?): Bernard Madoff.

If we all play the "Who cheats & steals more" game, guess WHO WILL WIN???
