Bitlanders review: is it legit and safe?

Old good Bitlanders! Yes, I have been forgotten this site. Joined, looked at it, and forgot even for years. And suddenly I found it is still working, and what was even more surprising - IT IS PAYING!!!. Paying year after year. For over 8 years already. And agree, it is a rare phenomenon in this changing Internet marketing world when some businesses last only a month or two.

And people are earning there. I see withdrawal proofs every day. And I know the top members are doing more or less $200 a month. Yes, I know it is not much. But it is free money with little efforts. And there are members on top list who joined just month or two ago. Strange, some join and leave even without learning how it works. Some say, it is too complicated and leave. But most stubborn ones stay, study, and start working. And earning. Steady. 

I must admit, it may be not for everyone. As it requires writing blogs, and submitting content for review, as only reviewed blog content counts there. Also, you can create videos, original videos, and submit them. You can upload your photos, make photo albums and submit for review. So, choice is yours. But will be best of all if you are able to write contents on any topic, add some pictures, embedded videos and submit for review. It is not so hard as it may look from the first glance. 

So, about everything from the start:  

First Step is  - JOINING.
It's easy and everyone can do it without  guidance, I guess. After joining, you can now login into your account. First of all, I recommend reading FAQ. There, everything is explained quite understandably. 

If you want to earn money, the biggest your concern is to obtain high BUZZ Score. 

What is a Buzz?

"The Buzz Score measures your reach, influence, and ability to engage your audience in your content. Every time you write a blog post and share it on your social networks, you engage and influence others.The Buzz Score looks at the number of your blog posts and their reach on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Film Annex. Users with high buzz scores are rewarded for their work."

In simple words, the BUZZ is the Bitlanders system used to determine the overall performance of each member. It is based on several parameters.

The BUZZ is composed of two parts: The BASE BUZZ and the BUZZ BONUS.

Base Buzz 

Base Buzz you receive from the Rated Content Score, Influence Score, Sharing Score and Subscribers Score. Base BUZZ points have a longer duration than the BUZZ Bonus ( they are temporary). To say in simple words - the BUZZ is the basis of our earning in Bitlanders. The higher is your BUZZ, the higher are your earnings.

• Rated Content Score - submit your blogs, movies and photo galleries for review and be rewarded with BUZZ points after they are reviewed. The more stars we receive from our rate content, the more we get BUZZ points.

• Influence Score - these are the BUZZ you will receive on your rated content given by other members. Note that only the BUZZ given on the rated content (it must have at least TWO stars) are included in the BUZZ Score.

• Sharing Score - share your content on social media and receive BUZZ points credited to your Base BUZZ Score. The more you will share your contents to various social media, the higher will be your sharing score.  

• Subscribers Score - you will get additional BUZZ Score when other members subscribe to you. Just make new friends.

Buzz Bonus 

It is a temporary bonus which you get for daily specific activities. Often, it lasts only for one day. This includes daily login buzz bonus, daily quests buzz bonus, shop purchase buzz bonus, content review bonus and content treasure.

• Daily Login - log in every day and collect daily login bonus:  it starts at 1 BUZZ bonus on the first day and then increase up to 7 BUZZ bonus. You will receive 7 BUZZ bonus every day after the 7th day as long as you continue visiting the site. 

• Daily Quests: 

1. Watch 5 movies and receive 3 BUZZ bonus. 
2. Read 5 rated blog posts and receive 1 BUZZ bonus. 
3. Invite friend to join Bitlanders  and get 3 BUZZ bonus for 2 days. You will get BUZZ bonus only for one invited friend daily, second one will not be rewarded but you will receive 20% of the earnings of all your invited members.
4. Submit a blog and receive 3 BUZZ bonus. That is different from the BUZZ Points you are receiving after your blog is reviewed. 

• Shop Purchase - you also get BUZZ bonus for purchasing a certain item in the store.
• Content Treasures - some BUZZ points given for your  certain activities.

How To Increase Your Buzz Score

• Create high-quality content (Blog Posts, movies, and galleries), submit them for review.  Focus on making such content.

• Receive BUZZ from other users to your rated content.

• Complete the Quest Box and the Daily Quest. it is easy to do. 

• Invite others to join. 

• Subscribe to other users, and they may also will subscribe to you. The more people view and buzz your rated content, the more you get points. 

• Play FlapPig game - playing this game can help you gain additional Bitmiles.

Summary: join, explore site, and start working. Do not expect high Buzz Score from the very first day, it will increase day after day if you are serious about work there and earn extra money. See you there! 

Focus Is the Recipe for Success

Take any example of a successful person who has really reached success in the business field of his choice, and you will see that all of them have the same qualities. What are those qualities? They all have a clear goal, they work hard and have strong will to overcome all obstacles in their way to success.

But there is also one other quality that separates them from the rest people. It is their focus, their ability to focus attention on the goals that they have set once. The efforts are really important if you want to complete any task, but the focus is the main factor that determines how well you will accomplish your tasks, how quick you will succeed.  

The Value of Focus

To imagine what is the focus, just  remember the experiment you probably made being a child with a lens in order to cause the inter flow of the sun’s rays and how you watched in awe when a scrap of paper placed under the lens caught fire? This, precisely, is what the focus is all about.

When the sun's rays scatter everywhere, they could not have the ability to generate such strong heat causing flame, but using a lens for the focus the same sun rays and suddenly you get really magical results.

The same happens with your business. You can have even the greatest ideas, you may have the most brilliant plans, but without setting your sights clearly on what you want to achieve and without follow it through with true focus, you will not reach your goals.

How to Develop Your Focus

If you compare the focus with motivation or perseverance, it is often easier to develop. Focus does not require anything new to learn. You just must let go some of your habits that distract you from the most important thing - achieving your goal. 

What will help you to develop focus:

• Stop Doing Too Much

How many activities you have throughout the day? List them all and try to look at each individually and think about do you really need to do it. If it is possible, pass on the task to someone else. Some things you may do simply as a matter of habit, and if they  do not contribute you in any meaningful way, simply stop doing them. Stop doing those things that are not an absolute necessity for you at the present moment. If you follow this advice, you will find it easier to focus on those tasks that really are most important.

•  Prioritize 

Never blindly jump into getting any things done, but always pick the tasks that are most important. Make "to do" list and sort out your tasks arranging them according to how any task is urgent or important. Prioritizing tasks will help you avoid such activities that drain your energy and time. After you cut out something that was not important, you will find it easier to do things what you need to do in order to achieve your goal.

• Get Rid of Distractions

Sometimes very simple thing can divert our mind from necessary task and serve as a distraction: an interesting article we want to read, an e-mail from a friend or even a conversation in the office. Such distraction tends to make us lose not only our valuable time, but also our focus. 

So, we must take steps to keep any distraction away: put in order your desk, your computer and your home and you sure will find it easier to focus on the tasks. Take off the headphones to cut out distracting music, turn off the television and even your phone. Say to people that you will be busy and out for the next few hours and shut the door of your room. 

• The Bottom Line

The wold around us is competitive and we believe that multi-tasking is essential for achieving success, but it can simply cause damage by draining us. The best choice is to stick to one goal at a time and work on achieving your one goal and only them move on to another one.

These simple steps can help you to improve your focus and you will find that your productivity increased.

How to Think Positively No Matter What Happens

What is positiveness? It is thinking only of good things. And we know that it's not so easy as it seems at first glance. Statistically, people tend to think more about failures than success.  What the reason is? The positive thinking requires of us much more energy than a pessimistic thoughts.

It is a big job to maintain optimistic thoughts and call yourself an optimist. But if you try it, soon you will see that thinking about good things improves your life greatly. If it's hard for you to think positively, you should learn to do it. 

There are some tips for you: 

• No matter what happens, never let yourself to think of bad things.

Stop to read thrilling books and to watch sad movies, do not watch nightly news at TV, there will always be bad news. Going to sleep do not think about any problems that are waiting for solving the next day. Even if it is not true, better imagine that everything is great. There is always the possibility that very soon everything will be OK for real and positive thinking can help easier overcome it. 

• Always think only good about other people

Some people irritate us, but we can't avoid them in daily life, so the easiest way is to find good qualities of these persons. The degree of irritation will go down. Also, you can say a compliment, but say it sincerely. Simply treat all people kindly, and no one will have a desire to irritate and disappoint you. If you treat them kindle, most likely they will change their behavior.

•  Don’t rush to make fast conclusions

Do not rush to blame yourself or other people if you get into a horrible situation. There is always at least one positive feature, all you need to do is to look from the other side. Life gives to each of us some difficulties and we must accept them as a lesson. Our primary task is to understand why it  all happened to us, then we must accept the situation and finally to take maximum advantage of this life's lesson.

•  Set your goals and truly believe in their achievement

Never doubt your success. Believe that everything is possible. When people are thinking about failure, they are sending a clear signal to the universe that are ready to get negative outcome. The positive thinking people are much healthier, they rarely get sick. There are many examples when people having severe diseases with a positive attitude overcame it. Positive mindset can help you in many ways. 

• Be careful about what you say

People usually underestimate the power of words. Saying both positive or negative words, we are sending the appropriate command to our brain and in such way we attract either success or failure. For example, if to say "I will not fail anymore" more likely you will say the same in the next year again. Particle “NOT” is the word which is perceived as negativeness. If you want to attract the success into your life, say: “I am successful at everything what I am going.”

•  Visualize

Visualization is a very effective technique for improving your health, for developing your self-confidence, for improving communication skills, and other. But visualization should be positive. So, close your eyes and breathe slowly, deeply. Imagine that you are healthy, successful, happy and confident. Your visualization depends on what you want to achieve in life. One session's duration - 1-3 minutes. Do it regularly in order to make visualization technique more effective.

Think only positive thinking and you will have optimistic lifestyle.

Why setting goals is essential for your business success

Years ago, when I just started working with online projects, I wondered why there were some marketers who seemed succeeded at everything whatever they worked with. And there also were ones who seemed could not achieve anything, all time failed whatever they tried. Now I know that this difference between successful ones and losers is in the setting goals and reviewing them regularly. 

There is a study on a goals showing that 80% of people don’t have goals. 16% of  of people have goals, but do not write them down. Only 3% of people write their goals down, but don't review them on a regular basis. And only 1%  of people write goals down and review them regularly. And what you think? This 1% is the most successful people. 

No matter what we want to achieve, big or just a little, we must to set our goals, because goals are not only for those who dream big. Every goal starts with a simple desire, even if we want just a little, even if we want less work or less responsibility - this is also a goal to achieve. 

Now a question, what you do with your desires and wishes? There are two ways: ignore them and let them fade away of your mind with a time, or listen to your wishes, start taking actions and finally get what you wanted in life. 

Excuses why people are not setting goals:

• Not seeing the importance of setting goals.
• Wishes for instant benefit, and goals seem being so far away.
• Being not aware where to start or what the steps to take. 
• The lack of the belief in own power to achieve what really want in life. 

Every your excuse just limiting you no matter what the reasons you have. If you are not setting your goals, everything stays vague and unclear what you really want. And you know what will happens? You may end up at a certain age having things which you did not really want in your life, too far away from the life you wanted to live. Without setting goals you will not know what you need to do in order to get where you want. 

The Benefits of Setting Goals

Setting goals will sure increase your chances of success. But there are some other benefits:

• Setting goals makes your actions more focused, your actions involve process of turning your vision into reality.
• Goals keep you inspired and motivated even in days when you are not in a good mood to take any actions; your goals give you the impulse that helps you to keep going.
• Setting goals and reviewing them in a regular basis is like keeping holding up your vision in front of your eyes daily, and it gives you targeted direction; it helps you to keep moving closer and closer to what you really want.
• When you set your goals, you are able to accomplish much more in just a few months compare to what other achieve in years; you faster will see better results that you even did not imagine. 

So, if you dream really strong about something, then there are two ways: taking action or vain dreaming. You can just a dream about a miracle without doing anything and hope to get where you want to and finally get nothing. 

Or you can clearly define your steps towards your goal, slowly one by one  step going to your goal until you reach success in the chosen area.

Setting goals is the most important accent to achieving success.

The formula of success involve your desire, definition of your goal and writing it down, following right attitude and taking right actions.

If you follow it, soon you will watch how your vision like a miracle turns into reality, turns into your success.

The golden rules for setting goals

• Set goals motivating you 

The best if your goals motivate you as this means that they are important to you, that you see a value in achieving them. If you care little in the outcome, or your goals are irrelevant when you see a larger picture, then the chances for success are too little. Motivation is top key to achieve your goals.

Set a goals that are tie up with your high priorities or you will end up with too many goals and there will be not enough time to achieve them all. Goals achievement always requires your commitment and the attitude " I must do it".

• Set smart goals

Goals must be powerful, designed to be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bound.

Specific goal - clear and well defined goal, providing sufficient direction. Goals itself should show you the way.

Measurable goals - include precise dates and amounts. Without measuring your goals you will miss its celebration when time will come.

Attainable goals - you must be sure that it is possible to achieve your goal, otherwise it will demoralize you and simply erode your confidence.

Relevant goals - goals must be relevant to the direction you want your life would take you. In this way you will develop the right focus to get ahead. If your goals will be inconsistent - you will fritter your life and time away. 

Set time-bound goals - what ever your goal would not be, it must have a deadline. you need it for to know when to celebrate your success. If you are working on a deadline, you know when you could celebrate achievement of your goal.

• Write down your goal

It's not a joke, believe me, writing down your goal makes it tangible and real. After, you could not find any excuses for forgetting it. Never use words " I would like to" when writing down your goal. Instead write " I will.." Don't forget to define a time period for your goal achievement.

Post your goal in such place where you can see them daily.

• Make a plan of your actions

Do not miss this step. Do not focus only on an outcome - for achieving your goal you must define step by step how you will achieve it. Write down individual steps and mark them as completed when finish it. This will show your progress in very clear way. Especially important to do it if your goal is big and for achieving it needs a lot of time.

• Stick with it

Create a reminders for yourself for to stay on a track. Constantly review your goals and correct actions plan if something going not as it was defined. But always make sure that the value, relevance and necessity still remain high.

You can make a living or you can design a life

How much money is needed for to start business online?

It is a serious decision to start a business online. You  need to keep in mind that there will be needed your efforts and possibly even some money to spend for your chosen online project. Of course, you always can start for free, but it will require more time and more efforts till first results will start showing themselves. 

You can make the whole process much easier if you do things not blindly, but with knowledge and ask support for those who already passed this way.

When people start online business, often they think that for to be successful online they need to invest a lot of money. Of course, if you start business offline, you need serious investments as any offline business could not start without money. But doing things online it's quite different. 

The truth is - you do not need much money as you think. The way I offer you, is to start with website creation. If you search, I guess you will find many so called online gurus who will promise you big money without having your website or blog. They will say that you do not need even to promote any product or service.


There are a lot guidelines online how to make things working for you if you follow one or other system -  just follow their pre-made systems by simple steps: 1,2,3... There are also a lot of already "ready to work" systems, all you need is to subscribe and they will do all job for you. But surprise will wait for you inside after subscription. My advice - don't waste your time. And money. 

The easiest way to start serious working online is to build your own website. In my previous posts, I explained how to do it withing few minutes. With advanced WordPress platform the whole process is very easy. 

It even will not require any money if you join for free Wealthy Affiliate. Being a free member you are allowed to create two websites. Keep them as long as you want. Monetize them. Write about what you want, what you know the best. Or promote Wealthy Affiliate and earn money. Or even add Google Adsense ads and earn this way. 

I do not ask you to join it. You can easy start making website yourself. All you need is domain name - yourwebsitename.com. It cost a little, but it worth to pay about $10 a year if you want your website to look professional.  At godaddy.com it will cost for you $13 for one year. You can buy domain even cheaper for $11 at namecheap.com. Or choose any other platform by searching google. 

Also, you will need a hosting for your new website to make it accessible via the web if you want cPanel for creation of your website or just need some advanced features. But if you just started your way online, at this point you can work without hosting and pay for it later. Anyway, hosting will cost you around $40 or more per year. 

Remember, as free member at Wealthy Affiliate you do not need to pay for domain name and hosting.

So, now you can start your journey - write content on regular basis. You do not need to be professional writer, just write about your chosen product. If you're too bad at writing, you always can go to Fiverr.com and buy articles from professionals, but I would advice better to do it by self, write in your own words. Buying articles is not cheap, you can fast and easily run out of your money before you see coming first earnings. 

If you are very new online, you need some understanding of how things work online. And again, Wealthy Affiliate can help you here - it gives 10 lessons just for free and if you go through all them, you will easily gain some knowledge. After you complete given free course, you can start working towards your success and do not spend any money at all.  

Of course, the free course will not give you the whole guideline as they give it to premium members, so do not expect a lot of money straight away. Although you really can make some money without investments. 

Premium members are allowed to host even 25 websites at Wealthy Affiliate, they get a lot of support from successful marketers, from owners, live webinars, video lessons, live chat and so on. All this teach you how to maximize your websites potential and you start making serious money from your efforts online. 

If you really will work hard, within just a year or so you can see coming first real money. There is no easy way to start any business online, so do not wait an easy money, but work hard. Once you manage it, you can become as much successful as you want. 

So, decide to be your own boss, work hard and success will come to you.
