So you want to be a Copywriter

Hi there, First of all let me start by saying the blunt truth, writing is not for everyone. Have you ever seen this habit whereby when someone starts a butchery business in a neighborhood and it does well, several other butcheries will come up in the next few months? Am sure you have. These other butcheries sprung out of assumption, no market research was done. The assumption that many people have is that if there is someone making it in online writing then they too can. Copywriting is not copying/ PHOTO/http://justjasonjames.com/assets/copywriting-skills-tips-techniques.jpg Most people think writing is just typing what they read or copy pasting. Being an online writer is about being smart and creative. We take someone else’s idea , read it and then write it in our own words. We research different sources and put them together using the best creativity and grammar skills. I have seen several people succeeding in Upwork while I have been sub contracted there. I have...

Hacks to make Life Easier in your Kitchen

Avocadoes are sweet. This kind of sweetness can only be enjoyed if the fruit is well ripened. Finding the perfect avocado can be hard but it is not impossible to make a perfect one for yourself by making it ripen well. How to Ripen Avocados Quickly: Place 2-3 avocados in a brown paper bag and store at room temperature. If you don't have paper bags on hand, wrapping them in newspaper will also do. This will accelerate the natural ripening process. For even quicker ripening, add an apple, banana or a tomato to the bag. Check daily to see if avocados are ripe yet. Don't just judge by their color, as some varieties will retain their green color, even when ripe, rather than turning a deep greenish brown. Sourced from: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/cookingtipstools/qt/ripenavocados.htm Cooking is an art and therefore you need to ensure that your working space in the kitchen is not a mess. You should also ensure that you observe good hygiene in the kitchen....

Why Families Should be on Obesity Watch

Gone are the days when children would be allowed to eat whatever they craved for and it would be alright. Childhood obesity is becoming a serious health problem as the society is now having overweight children who are growing into obese adults. A new report that studied kids throughout childhood found that those who are obese at five years old are more likely to be heavy later in life. While other studies have hinted at that trend, those have generally involved what’s known as prevalence of the condition — or the proportion of a population, at a given time, that is considered obese. Such information doesn’t suggest the risk of developing obesity, which is revealed by studying a population over specific periods of time. So in the latest study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, scientists tracked a group of 7738 children, some of whom were overweight or obese, and some who were normal weight, from 1998 (when they were in kindergarten) to 2007 (when they were in ninth...
