Why there is no barkat in a job?

If hussain had given preference to an odd job, he would be making £7 an hour at McDonalds compared to £200 an hour giving tuitions which is something he loves to do.

Barkat in Islam means the blessing on whatever we have collected (assets).

• In business you have the option to multiply your coins and you have no fixed boundaries. In a job you are limited to a fix monthly wage/salary.
• In business you often have leisure time to try out new things or test your creativity. In a job you barely find leisure time to test your innovational skills and you are limited to a fixed SOP (Standard Operation Procedure).
• In business you earn the reward for every effort you put in. In a job, all credits are attached to the company's name. You may know how great is bill gates but you don't know those thousands of engineers who worked for him in developing Windows OS.
• In business there is Sabr and Shukr. You thank God when their is profit but you turn to God even more when you are in a loss. But In a job, an employee is more concerned with his monthly wage and less with whether the company's graph is going up or down.
• This list can go on...

Your Views

Respect comes from God. I was and I am just a small man who is trying his best to learn and share every single day. It's the greatness of this country and this youth that has given me so much love and honor. Throughout my 7 years of online business if there is anything that has helped me maintain barkat in my online endeavors then it is only through learning, practicing and sharing.

I am leaving you all with one important note:

Always remain thankful to your God for blessing you each day with a new sunshine. With the same healthy body but a fresh new start. God has placed all puzzles to success in front of you, you just need to join the dots to reach your targets. Never stop learning and sharing. And you must never fall a prey to pride, ego or prejudice after attaining success, they will destroy you inside and outside morally forever. Never give up hope because great future comes to people with great patience. If you are alive today that means, success is still watching your doors. Just let it in!

Wishing you all the best of life and a successful future a thousand times better than me or anyone else, full of happiness and joy. God bless you all buddies!

Our Visit To IEEE NCS Orientation Session 2016 Posted: 12 Feb 2016 04:47 AM PST On 8th Feb, 2016 NEDuet university which is amongst the most popular engineering Institutes of the country, invited us for a motivational talk on Entrepreneurship and Corporate Slavery. This orientation ceremony was organized by the IEEE NED Computer Society with an intention to welcome the new batches with positive energy and offer them productive counseling on how to make best possible use of their four years bachelor's journey. This was my second most memorable visit to Civil Audio Visual Hall of NED after "BluePrint to PlanB" seminar. Last time I presented there as a student and this time I was honored to present as an Alumnus. I am extremely grateful to NED administration especially Dr Muhammad Khurram for all their love and respect. Today's blog post will discuss all important highlights of the event that took place and some untold stories which followed afterwards. Event Venue and Hosts The orientation session was organized inside Civil Audio Visual Hall and hosted by the IEEE NED Computer Society. Popular IT disciplines which participated in the event were: Computer & Information System Engineering (CIS) Software Engineering (SE) Department of Computer Science and Information Technology (BCIT). Event Page: IEEE NCS Orientation 2016 Topic: BE THE FIRST YOU! Important elements of the discussion were: Sugar coated truth about higher studies Bitter truth of Silicon Valley White and Black Entrepreneurship Plan A and Plan B The human survival race, Corporate slave mentality New faces of ancient black slave traders, Online business myths and facts Becoming a Programmer or Inventor My journey as a student to becoming a father, A surprise message to INDIA! Important Highlights of the Discussion When it comes to facing a crowd, it's something I love the most. This presentation was different because I had rarely slept properly since a month due to new year's projects and some pending clients' work. I only had 4 hours to prepare the slides before the event could start and yet attend calls from friends (including family of a hard working tailor who also wanted to know more about online business) who wished to attend this motivational session. Somehow I managed to get prepared, take my laptop and drive straight to the venue. What I saw next was a house-full auditorium with a humble and enthusiastic crowd of over 300+ students. Their hospitality and kind gestures deserves an applause. After a routine introduction of the orientation ceremony, I was invited to attend the stage. This time my focus was more on advent of corporate slavery after Industrial revolution in 18th-19th century and how it effected our academic goals, living standards and priorities in life. I explained in brief that though different empires abolished black slavery completely back in 19th century but it has taken a whole new shape in modern era. Back in old age, feudalists or capitalists needed black labors to work in their firms on fixed wages. Later as the world changed and got illuminated with education, capitalists started drafting new laws to attract a more skilled generation of workers towards their factories and empires. Amongst their biggest success was reshaping the academic system to achieve their goals. They did succeed in giving the mindset to work hard in school to get enrolled in a good college then work hard in college to reach a good institute then work hard in university to get a good internship and finally a good job! Millions of dollars are invested each month in advertisements, seminars and workshops where students are taught how to write a good CV, how to prepare for a job interview and how to become a good employee. Today the primary goal of higher education is transformed into employment. Believe it or not, today the biggest dream of our youth is joining a multinational firm. To explain it in more better words: youth today dream of getting enslaved in a corporate firm on fixed wages.  Every IT student today dreams to join silicon valley and to become the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates but rarely do some choose to become the first him or her. Mark Zuker Berg, Bill Gates and Steve jobs were all lovers of education but to live up their passion they preferred creativity and invention over following the social trends of better grades or GPA. They were considered as back benchers by their classmates but rarely did anyone realized that they were living a dexterous life that I call PLANB. I am against higher education but never against higher education + skills combined. Education is good only if applied else it will set you on a roller coaster ride with no direct path and goal in life. Academic education without skills equals multiplying equity with zero. What good is that education if a MBBS doctor can not prescribe you a good tablet compared to a salesman who works in a pharmacy. What good is that education if is a car mechanic knows more about how to tune an engine compared to an automobile engineer who read it only in books. What good is that hard work when a student gets 100% in an exam paper but fails to remember even 50% of it the next day. What good is that 16 years of education when a vegetable stall owner is earning more than a graduate doing job today? All this is happening because we remember 80% of what we see and do compared to 20% of what we read. Parents and teachers today are concerned mostly about a kid's grades but rarely do they care if the kid is provided with tools and resources to polish his technical skills. A single Photoshop course at the age of 11, transformed me into a professional web developer today. Imagine if I had also practiced basics of programming at that age, I would have been an excellent programmer long before I joined the university. Let me quote my last seminar speech here: Today institutes, teachers and parents pay great focus to 100% excellence in education but rarely do they motivate students to distribute 70% of their time to education and the remaining 30% to extra curricular activities, innovations and building Tech skills. They would encourage a student with full attendance, great marks but never a student with 70% study performance who dedicated the remaining 30% to develop entrepreneurship skills. Nick D' Aloisio was an average school going guy but his summly App that he created during his 10th grade got sold out for $30 Million US Dollars to Yahoo. The credit goes to his parents who taught him programming skills at an early age when he was just 15! I salute such parents and such students. To build an iOS app you need to have strong programming skills of Objective C. What Nick learnt at the age of 10, graduates today learn it after spending 2 years in a job that means at the age of 24-26! Advice for parents and teachers: Human is the most complex machine built by God with unlimited potentials. Where is it written that to learn or practice something you first need to wait for 16 years of education? Why can't our children be taught that they can practice a technology long before time. Dozens of student commit suicides in India, Pakistan and USA because they fail to achieve their desired GPA in order to receive scholarships. Students today are so over loaded with assignments, exams, tests and forced attendance that they rarely get a chance even to put their creative ideas to execution. We can't change this social system of education but we can at least change the way we counsel our children and attach expectations with them. Parents must allow their children to play with tools, learn their field related courses before time and participate in extra curricular activities. Buy your children an Apple laptop and iPad and ask them to start building apps. Give them such tools, the Dexter inside them will rise by itself. Don't just buy them fancy books but also buy them gadgets to practice. When they break a toy or smartphone, don't punish them instead ask them to mend it through reverse engineering. Send them to participate in mini workshops, ask them to build an online store by learning web development, ask them to start a blog to share their random views with the world and cultivate in them the thirst for a startup business no matter small or big. The benefits of such counseling are countless. They will be more mature than their classmates and financially established long before their graduation. Advice for Students Once a person came to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and he asked him that what to do for living. The Prophet (PBUH) advised him three things based on decreasing priority: Start a business or Do farming or Find a job The lowest priority was given to employment. Today the biggest priority is given to Jobs by the highly educated community of Indo-Pak. If you read the stats, most of the businessmen, stock market tycoons, real estate tycoons, transportation and textile tycoons are people with no Harvard or MIT degree but with simple 10th Grade certificates. You need to choose one option out of the three below to decide your goals in life: Study like a nerd and work like an ass for a firm - PlanA Don't waste time studying and instead only develop skills to establish a business - PlanC Study like a nerd, develop skills to start a business and work like an ass to live up your dream! - PlanB I chose the third option i.e. PlanB when I was a student and I am really thankful to God for this selection. Now it's your time to decide whether you will live someone else's dream or you will work hard to live a life of your own. If you are an IT student, don't wait for years to learn programming from your professor, go learn it within few months from a nearby credible institute. Practice all basics programming languages within a year and start building mobile/web apps the same year. Yes your code will look ugly the first day but the more you practice it and take inspiration from successful products in the market, the better will you program. If you have 2-4 years before graduation than start a blog and share tutorials on whatever tools and technologies you know best. This blog could become a parallel source of income for you in future after graduation just like it become a source of living for me. Can a Pakistani Student earn ‎£2000 in two days? Utilizing your energy and applying your skills in positive things can help you do wonders. Just now when I am writing this tutorial, I received a surprise visit from one of my closest high school classmates, Hussain Ali. His story is something that could be an inspiration to those who are seeking education abroad and fail to meet their educational expenses. While Hussain was pursuing his bachelors in civil engineering degree from Imperial College London, he started looking for ways to afford his academic expenses which was around £26,000 annually. Instead of working like a normal boy at McDonalds or some other cafe, he used online technology to find students for tuition. Just within a year he managed to earn ‎£2000 each weekend that helped him pay his annual  £26,000 university fee. He did it by simply posting free ads on sites like thetutorpages and gumtree. This is one practical example of using online power! PS: I am sorry Hussain but I had to share your story and photo because your story does surely deserves an applause! =)

Ezoic: Best Tool To Increase Website Ad Revenue

Ezoic: Best Tool To Increase Website Ad Revenue Posted: 03 Feb 2016 05:04 AM PST A customer review on how Ezoic increases website ad revenue and helps you to display up to 5 AdSense Ads per page with no blank spaces. Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai If your AdSense Ad revenue is continuously dropping over the past year and you are tired of trying every possible method to increase your website's Ad revenue - changing Ad Placements, trying different Ad formats, seeing blank ad spots on your blog - and still not seeing results then this means you are amongst millions of AdSense publishers who are facing this problem on daily basis. Just like you optimize your blogs, you also need to optimize your website's ad slots in order to maximize your AdSense earnings. This is one disappointing comment by one of our readers: Mohammad I am in deep trouble now. I used to get few dollars a day which suddenly changed into few cents for past two months. I am very sad and helpless. I thought it would change back. Very low earnings for twice the visits as earlier. Please help me bro. I am willing to give u my password if necessary. We can't blame Google for this because they already informed us to optimize our unsold Ad inventories with DFP or DoubleClick Ad Exchange. Google even recommends doing A/B testing or split testing. All such recommendations are no less than a headache because each requires a lot of time and technical skills. As a result we need a more user friendly and handy auto-pilot Ad monetization system that could systematically test many different ad sizes and locations to determine the best combination of ads on any given webpage of our sites and thus displaying high bidding Ads on our blogs by maximizing the value of every impression. After we started seeing too many AdSense Blank Spaces on our network blogs and received complaints from clients who were experiencing a consistent drop in their AdSense income due to lower RPM, I started doing a detailed research on several ad monetization tools as a computer engineer to find out how come some websites are displaying over 3 AdSense content units on their sites and almost all ad slots are displaying ads on every single page with no blank spaces. I wondered how could some bloggers violate AdSense's restriction by displaying 5 AdSense Ads on each page? This thorough investigation led me to an advanced Monetization tool called Ezoic which is a renown Google Certified Publishing Partner that helps publishers to optimize their website ad revenue. The best thing that I liked about Ezoic is that using it is completely free. In today's case study I will give you a detailed demonstration of how to setup Ezoic for your blog or website. In my coming tutorials I will guide you on how to add Ezoic ad slots in different sections of your blogger blog. Ezoic Helped Us Display Over 5 AdSense Content Units! After just 15 minutes of setting up Ezoic on one of our network blogs "Rich Income Ways" which is hosted on Wordpress, I was able to show over 5 AdSense Content Units on every single page of it with not a single empty space! The ads come from Google's Doubleclick ad exchange as well as a number of other ad networks and exchanges who all bid for the inventory. See the screenshots below:      All we had to do was to install Ezoic code on different locations of our site and then allow it to display best performing Ads for different screen sizes i.e. Mobile, Tablet and Desktop. Ezoic automatically displays different ad sizes for different devices on your site. You can choose easily which devices should see your ad and what sizes of ads should be shown in your selected ad units. All this is done with a simple click of a mouse using Ezoic's Ad Tester App. Our Ad Revenue Increased by almost 200% We installed Ezoic as a test on RichIncomeWays just 3 days ago that is 27th Jan, 2016. We were almost receiving no lucrative earning from this blog so to be safe, I used it to experiment if Ezoic's claims of doubling your Ad revenue were true or not.  Our monthly AdSense revenue from this blog was almost negligile i.e. $8/month. Which means on average we were making $0.27/day.  See the screenshot below:     But see it for yourself a blog which was literally making nothing is now generating upto $1.40 per day thanks to ezoic. Which means approximaltely $6/week and $24/mon.  If your maths is good you can analyze that this means a straight 200% Increase! [(24-8)/8 x 100 = 200%] See the screenshot below: What's bad in receiving a free cash of $24/mon from an already dead blog? What's even better is the system will continue to find the best ad placements based on user interaction, so I expect our Earnings Per Thousand Visitors (EPMV) to gradually increase over time. This significant increase in our daily AdSense earnings is what that forced me to write this long customer review of Ezoic out of goodwill for their excellent technology which surely deserves to be publicized as much as possible to help disappointed publishers to improve their dropping ad revenue. I will keep experimenting with this amazing tool to test Ads on two of my others sites also and will keep updating you with a detailed case study of their progress. Why Use Ezoic When AdSense's Dashboard already exists? Ad revenue optimization is what Google recommends too and this is one reason why Google gives permission to private agencies through its Certified Publishing Program to help Google in promoting their Ad network. Managing ads directly from AdSense dashboard is recommended only for small publishers who earn less than $50-$100 but if your blog or website is capable of making more than that then you must use free Ad Monetization tools like Ezoic which uses artificial intelligence to optimize your CPMs and automatically displays the highest paying AdSense Ads on your websites without loosing a single impression caused due to empty boxes or blank spaces. A Blank space appears on your site when AdSense is not able to find enough advertisers that are interested in your content, here is where advanced tools like Ezoic comes to your rescue which is programmed to make sure every slot is filled with highest bidding ads thus helping you to double your website Ad revenue.  How do your receive payments from Ezoic? Unlike AdSense which pays mostly through Wire transfer, EFT or Western Union, Ezoic pays you straight through paypal, Dwolla, check or Payoneer. The minimum payment threshold is $20. There are a number of payment methods you can choose from including: 1) Check - requires name and address 2) Paypal - requires only paypal address 3) Dwolla Email - requires only Dwolla email address 4) Dwolla ID - requires only Dwolla ID 5) US Bank Transfer Via Payoneer - will deposit money directly into your domestic account 6) International Bank Transfer Via Payoneer - will deposit your money directly into your international account in the currency of your country Important Tips To use Ezoic's Apps and Tools Using Ezoic is extremely simple thanks to its 24/7 Live help and support system. I will only give you a quick helicopter view of the technology used by this revenue boosting tool.  Testing with Ezoic gives you the following three benefits: Increased Ad Revenue Access to Google's ad Exchange where thousands of advertisers bid for your unsold inventory. Most importantly the ability to show 5 ads per page! First watch this simple video which I found really useful while setting up ezoic. I am sure this video is self explanatory but I will share some detailed tips that will help you make the most out of ezoic. 1. Change Name Servers Option While Integrating The most common way to integrate your site with Ezoic is to update your site's name servers. This allows Ezoic to optimize the ad sizes and locations automatically. Changing nameservers wont affect your site's health nor will you experience any down time. Do backup your old domain name serves if in case you wished to switch back. Another option is to install Ezoic's code on your blogger blog or wordpress blog. It is a simple script that you need to add just below starting head tag. Since I am using Hostgator I could easily change default hostgator nameservers to that of ezoic using the Launchpad Domain hosting management tool. 2. Apply for Google's Ad Exchange On your Ezoic dashboard you should see a new check box that says "Apply for Google's Ad Exchange". I would suggest you go ahead and fill this out, since you will gain access to thousands of ad networks and advertisers who want to bid for your site's inventory using Google's ad exchange. 3. Let Ezoic manage your AdSense account AdSense Certified Partner Program [invite link] This program provides Ezoic system a read only access to your AdSense account to use it as a control for testing.This also allows the Ezoic system to pull your AdSense stats into the Ezoic dashboard for reporting. This allows you to do a direct comparison of how the Ezoic ads are performing in comparison to your original ad units. This option will provide you with different in-depth insights on how your ads are performing for different mobile/desktop/tablet devices: You will also be able to check your earnings through filters. You can choose how your ads are performing in different countries, devices and find what are the traffic sources and landing pages. Ezoic easily integrates with your AdSense account to manage your account in auto-pilot mode. I recently allowed Ezoic to manage my AdSense account by filling out a simple invite from Google. I have shared the invite link above.   4. Must Install Mediation App The mediation app will allow you to link your AdSense account to the Ezoic system. This will allow your AdSense to compete in the Ad Exchange for the ad inventory, ensuring that the highest bidder is always serving the ads for your site thus making you more money. You can easily install it from Ezoic's appstore:   5. Do Install Ezoic Chrome Extension In order to get maximum results from Ezoic it needs to test as many ad locations as possible. However, depending on a website structure and CMS, it sometimes can be difficult to add tens or hundreds of ad placeholders manually, so a better solution is using the new Ezoic Chrome Extension. It took me half an hour to install ad units manually on different sections of my blog but with this extension, it took just seconds. Using this extension on your chrome browser, you can simply highlight-and-click to add new ad placeholders to your site and the Ezoic Platform will test them for you. Check the screenshot below which gives a quick demonstration of how can different ad sizes look on your site. You can then choose the best ad sizes based on ad location. Identify Error Pages That Wastes Revenue Inside the monitoring page of ezoic you will find three options. 1. Platform updates are related to platform development news from ezoic 2. Error pages tells you which of your blog pages are causing revenue leakage or needs your attention to fix them. 3. Google Updates keeps you updated with all Google algorithm updates made over the recent years. They also educate you on what exactly are these updates and how it could have affected your revenue. I am sure many of you know that Google Penguin and Panda updates were amongst the famous penalties that affected up to 70% of ad revenue for millions of publishers. Therefore staying updated with it is really important for all webmasters.   Ezoic has its own App Store for Websites! This app store is something which requires years of hard work to develop. Ezoic's app store has plenty of free and useful apps for websites. Using these apps you can choose to block ad placements, disable ads by page, block an advertiser, choose to show more than just 5 ads and so on. Amongst these I would categoricaly mention Ezoic's iOS App creator that helps you to convert your website's content to a native iOS app without the need for a developer. Apps are listed in the iTunes store and are compatible with iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Your iOS app will update as you update your website and will benefit from ongoing Ezoic improvements including additional ad services and evolving features. We recently created an android app for our blog but we lacked support for an iOS app. I guess this option could really save us both time and heavy development costs. How is your AdSense Earning Going on? I just hope the above post may help you understand how important is it to optimize your website Ads using free tools like Ezoic. Forums and blogs are now filled with debates on dropping AdSense Income and lower RPMs. Most publishers are really disappointed at increased traffic but lower earnings. The actual reason is that webmasters today spend so much time optimizing their sites for search engines but they rarely try optimizing their ad locations and doing A/B testing. Testing Ads is surely a hectic work but without making up your mind to use a tool like ezoic you are only selling cents for dollars. Do share your precious feedback and let us know if you are also experiencing a drop in Ad revenue. Feel free to ask me any queries related to ezoic. I would love to help as much as I can. Wishing you a lucrative and ever increasing Ad Revenue! Peace and blessings buddies. =)
