Unofficial New Limits Imposed By Ximmy

MY XIMMY EXPERIENCE

We've noticed lately a lot of changes have taken place at Ximmy.com. I think some of the noteworthy changes are as follows:
1. Changes in the number of Posts that can be made daily - I've noticed that lately, the maximum number of submissions that I can make in a single day has been limited to 10 submissions daily. So, from 30 submissions, it seems Ximmy has opted to lessen the number of submissions to 10. I think that such a big drop;
2. Changes in the number of votes that can be made daily - I've also noticed that I can only give a maximum of 10 votes daily. It used to be that members are allowed to give at most 100 votes. So, from 100 votes, it seems Ximmy has opted to lessen the number of votes to 10. I think this is again such a big drop;
3. Changes in the way Ximmy looks - There's been a major face lift, so to speak, that somehow made Ximmy "prettier" and more user friendly.

Now, Ximmy has yet to officially announce that these changes has already been made. I think the members deserve to know as early as possible about these kinds of changes, specially those relating to the new limits in the number of posts and votes that can be made on a daily basis. It would somehow lessen the shock of personally realizing these new limits imposed.

For me, I think these changes are a bit too drastic. The big jump in the number of limits imposed is just amazing. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Lately, there has been some discussions at Ximmy with regards to whether or not Ximmy members should be asking the readers of their post to vote for the post they have made. As of this moment, my personal stand on this issue is that Ximmy members should be allowed, since Ximmy is paying its members to contribute, unlike in other social networking review sites that don't, most of the Ximmy members are actually contributing with compensation in mind. It's not like this is part of a presidential election or an idol vote. We are not talking here of voting rights in an Electoral College. Let's not be hypocrites here. This is the point of this 4th part in this series.

Convince Readers To Vote

Most Ximmy members are actually there to make money, myself included, while at the same time doing the regular things we would have been doing, with or without Ximmy. It's just logical that we want to make the most of the time we spent contributing to the Ximmy Community. We all know that Ximmy gives 15 points for every post that makes it to the Popular page. With that as incentive, all Ximmy members would, of course, like their post to reach the Popular page.

Now, since one of our goals when we post something at Ximmy is for that post to make it to the Popular page, it is only logical that we should convince the readers of our post, that our post is worth voting for. Of course, that entails:

1. The need for us to be posting something really interesting or useful;
2. We should be providing a very convincing description of why the link we are posting is interesting or useful. Under the current Ximmy rules, this description should be at least 2 to 4 descriptive sentences;
3 We can actually tell the readers of our post that if they found the link in the post interesting, we would really appreciate it if they do vote for our post. I don't find anything wrong with that.

By doing these three things, we will have a greater chance of actually convincing the readers of our post to vote. That's it for now, I hope you learned something new .

It's been a while since I last posted here. I've been really busy researching for several blog niches I'm planning to start. I've also been reading a lot lately about ways and means of improving traffic and monetizing one's blog. There's just so many things to learn that I think I'm currently suffering from information overload. Alas, I digress. Going back to the topic at hand. In this post I'll be sharing with you something that most of us blog owners should have been doing at Ximmy from the start.

Patronize Your Own

Most Ximmy members are actually there to make money, myself included. When I started using Ximmy, I saw the need of some members to somehow be guided in how to do things at Ximmy. Base on that need, I started this blog. My focus is to primarily help other Ximmy members make the most of their stay at Ximmy. As I started posting at Ximmy, I've encountered several interesting blogs about making money using blogs. I got curious so I started researching on that particular subject, making money online with blogs. Then, I started putting ads on my blogs. So far, since I started putting ads, I've managed to earn in the two digit zone already. It was very exciting.

I've been blogging now for, more or less, one month. If you go through my recent Popular posts at Ximmy, you'll notice that I've actually been submitting posts which links directly to my blogs. What I've noticed is that you can really maximize the benefits you can derive from Ximmy by submitting posts that links directly to your own blogs that are somehow monetized. The hardest part in the process is actually putting up a blog with posts that are really interesting that readers will actually visit it because they know that they'll somehow benefit from it, one way or another.

Try to look at the Popular page and try to analyze what similarities do most of the popularized posts have? Can you spot a trend in the way votes are being made? If you spot a trend, try to blog about that particular trend. Make your blog about that trend very interesting. Put a title that somehow catches the attention of the reader. Tell it like a story that readers will really be interested in. Put some ads around the post which are optimized for your post. (I'll be touching on these things in my future posts). Then, post a link to it at Ximmy, providing sufficient description that will make any Ximmy reader click the link. Do this as often as you can and watch cents trickle into dollars. That is how you patronize your own.

That's it for now. I hope this post will be useful not only to those using Ximmy, but also to those who are new to blogging as well.
