Hence, the first one on our list of 6 ways to earn money through blogging.

There are two types of ads- Pay Per Click (PPC) ads and Cost Per Million (CPM) ads. In PPC, you are paid on the basis of per click. While in CPC, the blogger is paid on the basis of “cost per 1,000 impressions”.

The most famous way to earn through ads is ‘Google Adsense’. Google’s advertising platform lets you simply place banners on your site. Therefore, eliminating the need for direct contact with advertisers. The substitutes for Google Adsense are- Chitika, Infolinks, and Media.net.

Sell Private Ads

Second on our list of “6 ways to earn money through blogging” is by selling private ads. Working with advertising isn’t limited to platforms like Adsense. One can sell ads on his/her blog. Here, the blogger needs to be in contact with the advertiser. There is no middleman.

Selling private ads can vary in forms. IT can be in the form of banners, buttons, links or paid reviews. One can also make money by writing sponsored posts which is not a big deal.

Here comes you- person B. Person B has a blog and a potential monthly reach of 100,000 followers. He sees the opportunity and places one of the links provided by person A on his blog.
Now, every sale person B makes through this link, he gains a particular amount- say 8% – as an affiliate income.

That is how affiliate marketing works. One of the best affiliate marketing ad networks is Amazon Associates. Consider Amazon Associates as person A and yourself as specified above – person B. You can also create partnerships with organizations and businesses.

Samsung Galaxy A9 Review – Dual Cameras and Triple Cameras are cool but quad cameras in Smartphone That is a reality now. Samsung has unleashed a new Galaxy A9 with the total of 5 Cameras. Four on the back and lonely one on the front. Well, take a quick look at the new Galaxy A9.

So here is a New Galaxy A9 world’s First smartphone having quad camera setup on the back. The Four Camera you can see are vertically stacked with LED Flash window. I am pretty sure this will get a lot of attention. what do these four Cameras on Samsung Galaxy A9 Offer?

Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) Hands-on review

Well Let me talk Galaxy A9 Specs First, The Main Camera here of 24 MP f/1.7 Camera Sensor which is said to take sharp daytime photos and bright low light Photos. Then There is a 10MP f/2.4 Telephoto Lens which brings 2x optical zoom to Galaxy A9. There is also an 8 MP f/2.4 wide-angle lens that brings a 120-degree field of view so you can go wide area in your shots. The Quad camera setup is complete by 5MP f/2.2 Depth Sensor for great portrait mode shots.

It is basically the Samsung Galaxy A7’s triple Camera Setup with Telephoto lens. Thus Using all of these different camera lenses in the Samsung Galaxy A9 is pretty easy. You can toggle in the Camera and you can quickly switch between Main camera and wide angle or get the 2x optical zoom and there is live focus mode that uses the depth camera for Portrait mode shots.

The Galaxy A9 Shoots the video in 4K with 30fps but there is IES here that clicks only in 1080p. On the Front is the lonely 24 MP selfie Camera that seems pretty capable as well. So highlights of the Samsung Galaxy A9 is obviously the camera unlike most end smartphones there are a ton camera features here.

Anyway moving on cameras to another standout in the Galaxy A9 – The Design.

Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) Design – The Galaxy A9 is a beautiful smartphone with glass back and metal frame and I like the color especially the blue and pink variant which looks gorgeous. I mean the galaxy a9 might not be a flagship but it definitely got the looks for it.

The Front looks too pretty good with 6.3 super AMOLED display that looks stunning as with more super AMOLED display in high-end Samsung phones the galaxy A9 display is just beautiful even it is not good as Galaxy S9 or Not9. Unlike the A7 you get the usual fingerprint scanner on the back. there is no fingerprint scanner in the power button so that’s insane.

So Samsung Galaxy A9 is a premium looking smartphone with all the basics in the tag but you look under the hood Galaxy A9 is a midranger.

New Age Career Options Opened by the Blockchain Technology

October 30, 2018October 30, 2018
by ParkyPrakhar

After the rise of cloud, big data, and artificial intelligence, blockchain technology has seen a rapid growth in the past couple of years. In the job market too, blockchain – related jobs are amongst the top three fastest growing in the world. Industries, including the banking and financial services, are adopting the distributed ledger technology for its efficiency and transparency.

Blockchain has already caught everyone’s eye – whether it be students or industrialists, people are now aware of the technology. It has not only simplified transactions but has also opened a lot of career options for the youth. Before we see how, we need to understand what exactly is ‘blockchain’ and why is it catching everyone’s attention?

Blockchain – What is it exactly? Let’s fine out!

Blockchain can be described as an ‘open ledger’ technology which is mostly linked to manage and record transactions of crypto-currencies like bitcoin. Interestingly, the records aren’t kept at a single location but a global network of computers is used to jointly manage the database. Everyone on the network can see the transactions. It is also worth noting that the network (a chain of computers) must all approve an exchange before it can be recorded.

Blockchain as a platform is incorruptible, transparent and the one that bypasses censorship. Since each transaction is recorded over a range of computers in an encrypted manner, blockchain is designed to be secure.

Here is what it takes to build a career in Blockchain Technology

Blockchain in 2018 is being compared to what internet was in the 1990s. Hence, many job aspirants are considering the blockchain technology to be their next career move. And for someone with a coding background, it shouldn’t be tough. Blockchain technology demands coding skills (knowledge of C++, Java, Golang and Python) at the core with:

Understanding credit services, payment processing, Ethereum’s Solidity, and financial services
Exposure to Big Data and Data Science;

as some of the desired skill set.

“Blockchain Technology is limited to Bitcoins.” Or is it?

Many believe the statement mentioned at the top to be true. Well, this is not true. Blockchain Technology has diverse applications. Plus, it is not only limited to the tech industry as its utility can be seen in healthcare, banking and finance, real estate, manufacturing etc.

Gradually, industries have realized the potential of blockchain technology and adopted it. As a result, blockchain has taken over almost every sector we are aware of. Being a comparatively young technology, there is a demand of professionals who can work on the blockchain. Hence, for job aspirants, it can be healthy to look for a career in blockchain technology.

Blockchain technology can facilitate easier customer enrollment, fraud control and quicker claim settlement – thanks to its distributed ledger technology.

Career in Blockchain Technology

Blockchain experts are not only required by the transaction services but top companies like IBM, Microsoft, and Intel are also recruiting blockchain specialists in huge numbers. Companies like Mahindra Group and Bajaj Electricals have employed blockchain developers in many of their operations. This is because the distributed ledger environment in blockchain technology is believed to lower the operational costs.

If one wants to build a career in blockchain technology, he has several options – including one to build a blockchain start-up. Other options include –

Working with MNCs
Working with private firms
Working with banks and in the financial sector
Working in the government bodies

Working with the distributed ledger technology, one can get a quality job. Here are some of the careers that are growing right now with the adoption of the blockchain technology.

Blockchain Developer – This job requires deep coding skills as developers require to transform the logic of business network into chain code. One must of course understand and be a part of the blockchain ecosystem to work as a blockchain developer. Coders familiar with JavaScript and Golang have a good basis to start with the learning process.

Blockchain Instructor/ Educator – If you want to build a career in blockchain despite the fact that you don’t like coding, this job is for you. One doesn’t need to be a coder to be a blockchain instructor. He needs to learn about blockchain technology in theory, that is, its working, evolution, advantages, and disadvantages of using it in a specific firm.

Blockchain Consultant – Similar to the work of a blockchain educator but not the same. Consultants are required by organizations to help their business choose and follow the best methods of blockchain technology. For this job, one is required to have a deep understanding of principles of blockchain technology, their systems with which they interact, and the business operations. A blockchain consultant is required to arrive to a functional and technical solution on blockchain engagements of the company.

Future of Mobile App Developers – 19% of future…

October 30, 2018October 30, 2018
by ParkyPrakhar

This is probably the most exciting time to be alive for the tech industry professionals. Big data, cloud computing, cryptography, blockchain, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality and what not – everything is evolving to be better. The end user experience for the consumers has been quite satisfactory with the development of AR/VR projects by the mobile app developers. The abovementioned tech is being used by almost every tech industry – programming, software, and even gaming.

Talking about the gaming industry, it has seen substantial growth over the years. Now is the time to think about the future, to offer something new to the consumers. Hence, developers are moving towards VR and AR to give a better gaming experience. But what is VR and AR, and why is it catching the eyes of every mobile app developer? Let us find out!

VR and AR – Two Pillars of Future Gaming Development

Virtual Reality (VR) is basically an interactive and immersive computer-generated (virtual, of course) experience. It takes place within a simulated environment offering auditory, visual and haptic feedback to the gamers.

Augmented Reality or AR is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated in front of the user of the real world.

Considered to be the ‘next big thing’ in the gaming industry, VR is not a new technology (tada!). In 1960, the first ever ‘VR headset’ became available. The first VR gaming efforts date back to the 1990s, just when the internet was booming. Technology did not catch up too fast, but now that we are here, VR gaming is a viable medium and is probably here to stay.

It’s 2018 and we have been introduced with VR headsets like Oculus Rift, HTC Vibe, etc. This has created interest and jobs for the mobile app developers. As a result, VR apps are evolving at a pace faster than that of Brett Lee.

Augmented Reality App Developers, it is Your Time to Shine!

Pokémon Go was the first big success in augmented reality development. Generating over $850 million in revenue, it attracted more than half a billion users worldwide. Users enjoyed playing an AR game on their smartphones without any requirement for an external accessory. Fast forward to 2018, we have seen various AR games coming out this year, including the Harry Potter AR.

From a developer’s point of view, it is exciting and like new to be a part of the development community yet again. It’s amazing what the game development community has achieved and is achieving. VR/AR not only gives something new to the gamers to deal with, but it broadens our perspective as well.

The opportunities for mobile app developers are huge. We are in for a disruption in the gaming industry as the last disruption happened around 7 years ago. With 19% of future gaming development being on AR and VR, one shouldn’t shy away from saying that VR/AR has the potential to revolutionize the gaming industry.

With mobile devices getting more powerful year by year (we now have a category of ‘gaming phones’ too), we expect them to host more powerful games than Pokémon Go. There will be lesser games which require you to stay connected with the servers or always be online. Hence, giving mobile app developers more opportunities.

That is not it. AR/VR it is expected to touch many untapped demographics by the traditional games. Hence, greater opportunities lie in finding out such audience type and creating new business opportunities for AR/VR-related start-ups.

Right into the Feels

AR/VR is not only giving us a whole new perspective into the gaming world but is touching us too. It wasn’t supposed to touch our feelings or emotions, but thanks to ‘feel engineering’ it’s revolutionizing the way we look at things. “Feel engineering” creates a game backward from the feeling the developer wants to create in a person forward from the dynamics of the game.

Feel engineering requires high commitment, high cost and a level of emotions from the development team, it isn’t cheap or easy but it is definitely worth all the efforts. There is a huge difference in what we expected VR to be and what it is turning out to be.

Conclusion

It is said that predictions about how a technology will evolve in future is quite uncertain. This is because, at any point of time, the technology can deviate from the intended use of the creation. Still, it is worth believing that AR/VR will create the next revolution in the gaming industry as its future looks very promising. If you want to invest in this industry, this is your time! Else you will be left behind.

It will be very interesting to see where the AR and VR take us in the 2020s. What do you think about the future of game development? Will it go the expected way or are we in for some twists and turns? Do tell us in the comments below.
