Imagine yourself watching your favorite star wars movie, didn't it get into your mind on where you could buy those double edge light sabers? you would even beg for a fake replica, just to get one. What if while watching the movie, you could click on the light saber which brings you to its shopping cart! Isn't that cool? no, its uber cool!

Although it's not exactly whats happening right now but eventually the road is going that way. As what i have remembered it was just last month when i saw it at overlay.tv. Imagine the number of potential customers coming from the movie industry. This is a whole new market opened for us.

What is a Video Overlay? It is supposed to be placing a full screen video into a display or a window. When it came, most people added educational information via texts to the video that is currently being watched at the bottom portion on the display. I don't know who's the genius that came up with the idea of adding ads to the video. Whats even clever is that it allows us to click on the product itself inside the running video (of course the video pauses when you hover your mouse over). Video overlay is different from the ones we used to see at youtube, this time it allows us to click within the video itself.

Anyway its a new method of monetizing my blogs and an additional revenue, I'm currently studying on how can i implement it with my sites. Currently adsense is offering two ad formats namely the InVideo overlay and the Text Overlay. You might want to read google video advertising solutions first to know more on how you can implement it yourself. You can then apply for its beta release and start adding in into your sites.

I got a call today from a telemarketing service asking me if I wanted to buy a new blender since I bought a grill before from their company. I politely told the guy on the other end "no" but the guy's pretty tough, he just couldn't understand that I didn't want to buy the product.

If there was something that this guy does good is that he knows how to keep you on the phone, out of exasperation, I firmly told him "I'm not interested" and put the phone down "click". Some guys just don't get it... So just a tip for anyone out there who are in the same shoes as mine, being too polite won't get you anywhere, don't apologize and hang up the phone.

Paypal is here!.

Here is the registration page.

If you are using paypal for online payments then the Personal account will enough for you, otherwise if you are planning to have an online store you should get the Premier account. Anyway, if you are living in the Philippines like me, even if you have upgraded your account to Premier account, you would still not able to receive any money, maybe just for now.

You may also Apply for the Expanded Use option for just $1.95 to remove your account spend limit, don't worry the $1.95 amount will be refunded after making your first paypal purchase. You will need to enter the 4-digit number on your credit card statement just before the word PAYPAL to verify the use of the Expanded Use option.

Its been a couple of years since I learned to auction stuff and buy as well on ebay. I use ebay.ph since ebay.com requires payment to sell. I think I've been lucky so far because all the buyers and sellers I've encountered were simply great (my feedbacks were 100% positive heh).

I've come across this good link that provides ebay auction tips. For those of you who are interested about online auctions, you might want to check the page out.
