Let LinkedIn Becomes Part of Your Business Venture Online

LinkedIn is the world's largest professional social network with over 300 million users managing their professional identities, building and engaging with their professional networks. It is a place where users can discover professional opportunities, business deals, new ventures and a place where to get the latest news, inspiration, and insights from professional people.

Every day there are hundreds of posted new jobs from employers from the four corners of the globe. They are looking for professionals and qualified people for the job hiring. They are using LinkedIn to advertise their companies job vacancies for both online and offline job opportunities - from SEO experts down to content writers, online writers, ghost writers, journalists, skilled workers, products promoters and other imaginable available jobs vacancies.

LinkedIn is also used by hundreds of online job seekers. There are thousands of LinkedIn members who are willingly updating their LinkedIn professional profiles with photos, school attended, work experiences and other interesting things of achievements as to add flavors for their best published professional profiles on the site hoping to get hired by the interested employers.

There are hundreds of online groups available on LinkedIn created officially by its users - from technology group down to content writers group, online writers group, blog and blogging groups, gardening groups, freelancers groups, journalists groups, poetry group, natures group and many more. These LinkedIn groups are accepting members who are willing to share their best and interesting ideas with the other members.

There are hundreds of merchants and advertisers who are happily promoting their products and services on LinkedIn. These merchants and advertisers are also looking for people or affiliates who are willing to help them promote their products online. They target people who are experienced on online blogging and maintained their own blog sites or websites.

LinkedIn has a pulse section that caters a user's original articles either reviews about anything, news and other blogging items. So, bloggers and other types of online writers can use the pulse to showcase for their high quality columns or blog pieces. This is the place where online writers can promote and share their products and other services that they offer to their online audience in the form of writing pieces, photos, videos, etc.

It is already eight years have passed from the time I had joined LinkedIn that started in 2006. At first I was reluctant to use the site to share to other users what I had published online because I thought that LinkedIn is created only for people of highly professionals. However, that idea I have has changed when I received the invitation to write for LinkedIn. Of course, it surprised me and without any doubts I accepted it.

So far there are about nine articles I published on LinkedIn. Some of them were already published on some of the sharing revenue sites I am also writing. I just re-wrote them with new titles, introductions including the article body. All these published articles on LinkedIn bear my authorship with the backlinks leading to the websites that first published them.

Yes. LinkedIn does not pay for the articles published on their site but it is one of the best places I know where to spread out our writing hobby. Aside from the social networks and other bookmarking sites to market and to share our awesome articles - LinkedIn is also open for this purpose too. And to think that LinkedIn has more than 300 million users - who can tell us that 10 to 20 percent of these users would be attracted to read our write-ups?

Janus The God of Change is Coming Back Very Soon

Happy New Year will be said and heard again as the New Year approaches. But the day celebrated as New Year’s Day was not always January 1.

January 1 marks the end of a period of remembrance of the passing year for radio, television and newspapers. Publications have year-end articles that review the changes during the past year. The topics include politics, natural disasters, music, arts, the listing of significant individuals and those who died during the past year and many more.

During the Middle Age, New Year’s Day was celebrated among Christians usually on March 25 (Roman Calendar).After the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1582, the day was observed on the January 1. The Jewish New Year is the first day of Tishri, which falls some time in September or in early October. The Chinese New Year is between January 10 and February 19 of the Gregorian calendar. The Muslim New Year falls on the first day of Muharram. The word Muharram means "forbidden" so called because it was unlawful (haram) to fight during this month.

The month of January is named for Janus. In Roman mythology, Janus was the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings. He was known as Janus Geminus (twin Janus) with two faces looking in opposite directions. The first hour of the day, the first day of the month and the first month of the year bears his name.

Janus is symbolizing the god of change and transitions such as, the progression of past to future, of one condition and of one vision to another. And because Janus symbolizes them, the making of New Year’s resolutions had become a tradition of the season. People begin to think of what they would like to change for the next year. They make resolutions for everything they can think of. And of course, I also did it the same thing as well.

Janus was also worshipped at the beginning of the harvest and planting times, as well as marriages, births and other beginnings. During his reign Janus was the first to announce the golden age. He introduced the important of money, laws and agriculture – that making him a culture hero.

In old Japan calendar, the month January is called Mutsuki. In Finnish it is called Tammikuu – meaning month of the oak.

Also January 1 for the Roman Catholic and Aglican churches is the feast day celebrating the circumcision of Jesus, who is believed by all Christians the Savior and the Redeemer of human race and the world.

As for me January is the beginning of the twelve months cycle. Happy returns of the month!

Cowboynextdoor has just switched to being a recording artist already and his first song Your Man is already available on 750 stores worldwide including iTunes and Amazon. This is a short review about Cowboynextdoor and his music Your Man. He is one of Wikinut writers who has just began on his music career.

CowboyNextDoor’s decision to debut in the Country Music genre is based on the idea that it was skipped by OPM (Original Pilipino Music), making it a yet-to-discover type of music in the Philippines especially in Eastern Visayas (where he is based), which is a domain of independent rock, reggae, and hip-hop artists. His single will be succeeded by at least 3 official original singles before an album comes out. CowboyNextDoor’s songwriting has the influence of 90’s melodic and simple structure with love as the usual subject, things that are not far from what makes a country song.

If you will visit Cowboynextdoor Wikinut Profile Page – you will see that his published articles fall to the following categories: Entertainment, Politics, World News, Personal Experiences, Review Books, Writing, Music etc. But most of his published articles are mostly about music. He already published 138 articles on this site. He had joined Wikinut community on November 7, 2011.
