3 Health Hacks to Lose Weight

Here are some tips to help you lose weight. I hope they help, I've spent a lot of time researching these tips and am confident they will help you.

Hack #1 - Eat fewer calories. Your body burns something called calories for energy. However, if you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. Therefore, if you eat less food, you will gain less weight. Read up on calories at wikipedia and you will see what I mean.

Hack #2 - Exercise more. As I mentioned in hack #1, your body burns calories for energy. So, if you exercise more, you will burn more calories and you will lose more weight. I recommend you either run or walk up and down a staircase a few times per day. This will put you on the road to weight loss.

Hack #3 - Drink more water. I don't know why this will help, but people always recommend you drink more water so that you will lose weight and feel more energized. Drinking water is recommended for everything!

Good luck and remember: weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint!

Google Analytics!

I am very excited. We just set up Google Analytics on this site. Now, we will have much more accurate numbers about our many visitors! I'll be sharing all kinds of information about our visitors.

Of course, I'm not going to get too excited because I remember that blogging is a marathon, not a print.

3 Controversial Tips to Increase your Twitter Following

Yesterday, I gave three tips for increasing your Twitter following. That article was my most successful yet with 68(!) views already and those methods increased my Twitter following from 7 to 22 people in one day! So, not to brag, but I'm probably someone you should listen to. Therefore, without further to do, check out my three controversial Twitter tips!

Tip #1 - Only follow people who follow more people than are following them. People who have thousands or millions of followers (like Lady Gaga). They will not follow you and they will definitely not click on links you post in your Twitter posts.

Tip #2 - Post controversial tweets advertising your blog articles. People like things that are controversial. If you write a controversial article and then post a controversial tip, I am pretty sure people won't be able to resist clicking. For example, yesterday I posted a Tweet that said "I am a peanut" even though I'm not. Lots of people clicked on it.

Tip #3 - Write controversial blog articles. If you make a controversial Tweet advertising your blog post, make sure the blog post is also controversial. For example, like this article.

Go out there and follow these tips! I guarantee they will work. But, always remember, blogging is a marathon not a sprint.

Time Saving Tech Tips

When typing URL's (Uniform Resource Locator) you don't actually need to type "http://".

Sometimes you don't even need to type "www."

So that means sometimes you don't have to type "http://www."

Let's take Google.com as an example.

Most of you probably know about Google.com and based on my calculations many of you have wasted up to a few weeks total typing the "http://www." before "google.com".

Next time you are attempting to access "http://www.google.com", try simply typing "google.com" and enjoy the extra free time.

Let us know how this works out for you.

3 Quick Tips for Increasing your Twitter Following

Hi guys, since making this website yesterday, I feel like I've become a real expert in driving traffic to the site as well as getting people to follow me on Twitter. I know you might find this hard to believe - but we've already had 115 visitors and I have 5 followers on Twitter! Crazy, right?

I thought I'd share what I've found in the past day. So, here are three great tips for increasing your Twitter following!



Tip #1 - Create interesting blog content and link to it in your Tweets. The key is to come up with a quick blurb about the article and make sure to include a link! For example, here is a great tweek that I might use - "Check out my great new article on getting Twitter followers everyone! Check it out at http://lifecrack.blogspot.com - I am sure it will be very helpful for you, please read it!! Thanks!"

Tip #2 - Make sure to follow people on Twitter with similar interests. For example, when the Tipster shared his tips on foggy mirrors - I went to twitter and searched for people who had foggy mirrors. Then, I followed a bunch of them (like 30 people!). I think I probably got one or two hits from that - so pretty successful technique.

Tip #3 - Remember, Tweeting is a marathon, not a sprint. I know I achieved great success in a day - but this is an unusual case, because I was already somewhat of a web expert beforehand. You might need two, or even three days to achieve 5 Twitter followers.


So, good luck! Feel free to "Tweet" my article if you find it useful.
