When authorities were searching for suspects after the Boston Bombings, I was really hoping that they wouldn't turn out to be Muslims. As an Indian-American Hindu, in the years since 9/11 I have been repeatedly racially profiled and questioned while travelling. Now that the suspects have been identified as Muslims, I am concerned that we may see similar and increased xenophobic reactions against Muslims as a whole.

In times like these, it is more important than ever for Americans from all possible hyphenations to understand each other better by building new relationships. We need cross-cultural exchanges among ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic groups that normally don't mix. Here are three reasons why:

1. Isolation of people from different backgrounds leads to misunderstandings, which can cause tension and conflict.
Although America is in many ways a melting pot, the analogy of the salad bowl is still more accurate in most cases. In the salad bowl, the different pieces are all in one place, but they remain separate. I think the separation is dangerous because it can give rise to stereotyping and negative assumptions. These assumptions can build into hatred, and from hatred we may see violence.

In 2009, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was quoted in a photo essay as saying, "I don't have a single American friend, I don't understand them." This is an example of how different groups in our society are often separated despite living in close proximity. We need to be engaging people from diverse identities, especially youth, in conversations with each other about issues that matter to them. Discussions like these are already being facilitated by a number of organizations.

In fact, earlier this month, I attended a conference called the Emerging Economies Jam, which was arranged by a non-profit called Yes World. The event brought together 30 people from diverse backgrounds to discuss the future of the economy. Meeting the other participants was more valuable for me than the discussions themselves. I made new friends and relationships with people from ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds whose paths I normally don't cross. One new friend was a middle-aged white male who came from a privileged background. After the conference, he invited me and a young African-American female to go sailing with him on his boat. Interacting with individuals from those communities helped me to better understand their communities as a whole, and shattered many assumptions and stereotypes I had subconsciously been making.

2. Cross-cultural relationships help to keep us from associating extremist viewpoints with whole communities.
Earlier this week, Eboo Patel wrote an enlightening piece on this point. Patel cited a study that took place during the mid-2000s when the Catholic pedophilia crisis was happening. Despite the negative press, the study showed that Catholics were still among the most favorably viewed religious communities in America.

The reason why Americans were not associating all Catholics with the actions of the pedophiles was that most Americans had positive relationships with other Catholics. They associated the broader Catholic community with their friends, neighbors, and colleagues, instead of the pedophiles. This insight is particularly relevant right now when the Muslim identity of the Boston Bombers has cast suspicion on the Muslim community as a whole.

Building a genuine relationship with someone from a different ethnic, religious, or socioeconomic community can improve our conception of that community as a whole. Relationships like these make it less likely that we will make blanket associations with small extremist elements and the larger communities that they come from.

3. Kindness and acceptance are the only things that can ever fully disarm extremists.
It is my firm belief that every act of force, violence, exclusion, and profiling does nothing but foster more extremism, radicalization, and potential terrorism.

Injustices such as those being carried out in Guantanamo and in the multiple Middle Eastern Wars that the U.S. has created are going to breed a fresh generation of extremism. And here at home, negative attitudes and actions towards Muslims will create more potential Tsarnaevs.

I really feel that people like the Tsarnaevs could only have been stopped through more positive, kind, and accepting relationships with other fellow Americans from different backgrounds.

Now more than ever is the time for Americans to do something radical and extreme: make new relationships with others from different backgrounds. Such simple acts as these will have lasting reverberations that will help to heal this country.

7 Reasons You Should NOT Start a Podcast

Podcasting is not for everyone. Despite the many experts, gurus, rockstars and ninjas within the content marketing space moving their voice to the podcast format, podcasting will NOT work for everyone. Start a Podcast

I don’t want you to waste time creating iTunes podcasts if they’re not going to work…

…because it does take hard work to create podcasts. Launching a successful podcast isn’t as easy to purchasing a domain name and hitting the one-click install button for WordPress. {Ms. Ileane shares the basics of “How to Make a Podcast” here}

Creating a successful blog doesn’t guarantee success in the podcast format either.

Podcasting is long-format content marketing, which means the audience expects you to dive deeper into your area of expertise.

Ms. Ileane does this well with her Ms. Ileane Speaks Podcast.

My own Content Warfare {view the episode index} addresses How to Win the Battle for Attention Online.

Both shows run 15, 30, even 45 minutes in length depending on the topic being addressed.

Here’s the deal, podcasting is not for everyone, so I outlined seven reasons you should NOT start podcasting. This serves as a guide to excuse yourself from moving into the audio format of content marketing.

Podcasting allows you to dig deep into a topic. It also allows you to use words apply inflexion to certain words that delivers your message with a cadence that a text-based blog post is not able to do. Podcasting puts you on display as an expert. There is something about delivering your message in audio that adds a level of authority to what you’re saying.

See anybody can copy and paste thoughts from another blogger. But it takes a true authority, a true expert in an industry to deliver a podcast and talk for 30 minutes on a topic.

The psychology behind your audience applying authority to you from hearing you talk about a topic is incredible powerful.

Think about the amount time that the average person spends on your website. Go to your Google Analytics reports and look at the time spent on your website right now. It most likely is somewhere between 45 seconds and two minutes.

Contrast this with the fact that with the Content Warfare Podcast where the average show length is 30 minutes, the average listener stays on the line for 24 minutes. In which form of content marketing do you think I am building a deeper relationship with my audience? The three minutes that my audience spends reading one of my blog posts or the 24 minutes that they spend listening to my podcast. Stitcher.com - Partner Portal

There are many people who are not interested in reading text-based blog posts. This is the built in podcast audience. These are people who want to consume the content you in audio and podcasts. Services like Stitcher, Blackberry, iTunes and Zune provide you with a way to reach a group of people who could become potential clients that you would never be able to reach with a text-based blog post.

Podcasting allows you to expand your audience and reach a whole new market of consumers.

As discussed above, people who come and listen to your podcast see you as an authority, consume your content for a long period of time and become deeply invested in you as a content creator. This provides the ideal opportunity to create leads and sales. Podcast listeners interested in your product or service become very qualified leads as they’ll have listened to you for a long time and made up their mind to buy.

This is very different from the text-based funnels and squeeze pages used to capitalize on a consumers compulsion to buy. Add in the fact that services such as iTunes and Stitcher and Zune and Blackberry have a built in audience that you’re not currently reaching and you have now increased the pool people who could potentially buy from you.

Whether you’re Shakespeare or John Grisham or just the average blogger there’s a decent chance that the people who read your text-based posts on a daily, weekly or monthly basis would be interested in consuming your content in a different form or fashion. Podcasting allows you to add variety to your content marketing strategy and subsequently a deeper relationship with your audience. Once people begin listening to the sound of your voice they will remember hearing the words in the way that you speak.

stand out with a podcast
Depending on who’s figures you read there are somewhere in the vicinity of 156 million blogs between WordPress and Tumblr.

This number does not include all the blogs from other platforms like Blogger, Joomla, Drupal and HTML blogs.

There are only a couple hundred thousand podcasts.

So if you’re trying to stand out from the crowd… if you’re trying to have your voice heard above all the other voices online do you think you have a better chance of doing that with a simple text-based blog post or on a podcast where you only have a couple hundred thousand competitors?

One of my personal favorite features of the podcast format is interviewing other experts in the marketing industry. You can certainly interview people using text-based posts as well, but it’s harder to get a feel for the guest with simple text. The audience also doesn’t get that personal feel of back and forth between interviewer and guest.

Plus, the relationship building aspect of having another professional come on your show and deliver their own value to your audience. You’re giving them an opportunity to increase the size of their own audience and in the long game that pays dividends. I’ve had the opportunity to interview the likes of Mark Schaefer, Danny Brown and Marcus Sheridan just to name drop a few (and hopefully Ms. Ileane soon).

When I started the Content Warfare Podcast as format to explore how to win the battle for attention online, I honestly had no idea what to expect from the experience. I saw some of the elite content marketers joining the podcast bandwagon, names such as Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income, Mike Stelzner from Social Media Examiner and even Ms. Ileane and I saw power in the breadth and depth of information that they were able to deliver to a podcast. After eight months of podcasting, producing over 20 episodes, I can honestly say that creating the Content Warfare Podcast has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my business.

The only real reason you have for not moving forward with a podcast is if you don’t believe you have the fortitude to stick with it for the long term.

But I know you do. I highly encourage you to look into Ms. Ileane and her Ms. Ileane Speaks as she is a content marketer at the top of her game. If you’d like to learn more about my show, you can find it at Content Warfare Podcast | Win the Battle for Attention Online

Thank you and good luck,

Ryan Hanley

5 Reasons Keeping Secrets Is Making You More Stressed

We're all guilty of it sometimes: You keep secrets from your friends, family, boyfriend or girlfriend and teachers when you know, deep down, that you should be open and honest. Although your favorite movies and TV shows may glamorize the mystery of keeping secrets (and the dramatic reveal), keeping important experiences or feelings to yourself may have a serious negative impact on your life and relationships.

Here are five reasons you should be spending more time talking things through with the people you trust -- instead of holding it all in.

1. Secrets have been shown to lead to depression.

Researchers in the Netherlands recently found that young people aged 14-19 who kept private secrets had higher levels of rule-breaking behaviors and reported lower moods and more complaints of headaches. The study also found that secrecy was correlated with feelings of loneliness. To avoid the isolating and stressful burden of carrying a private secret on your shoulders, tell a trusted friend or adult.

2. It's true: Secrets don't make friends.

There's a lot of truth to the childhood maxim, "Secrets don't make friends." The Netherlands study also determined that teens who reported keeping more secrets also confessed to having lower-quality relationships that young people who kept fewer or less significant secrets. While there's no need to air your dirty laundry to all your friends in the interest of avoiding secrets, keeping important things from people who trust you can harm (and even ultimately ruin) your friendships.

3. Keeping a secret private can be stressful.

Some things aren't easy to keep to yourself, and you may have to watch your back to make sure parents or friends don't find about about your secret -- whether it's an under-the-radar relationship or the fact that you're failing Spanish. Small secrets can easily snowball into big secrets. The stress of lying to your friends and family can be a major source of anxiety, and it's one that you can easily avoid by coming clean right away.

5. Secrets lead to lies.

A big secret can easily turn into a web of lies. After all, it's not easy to keep something important from the people you care about without telling a few little white lies (and maybe some big ones) to cover your tail along the way. Without getting into all the reasons that lying is something you just shouldn't do, suffice it to say that honesty really is the best policy.

9 Reasons The Postal Service Is Not Obsolete Yet

The Postal Service may no longer deliver letters on Saturdays, but that doesn't mean its services are not important.

In fact, the world would be a sad place without the post office and much of what it does would be sorely missed.

Check out these 9 reasons why the Postal Service is not obsolete yet:

Loading Slideshow

Although the post office announced that it would no longer deliver letters on Saturdays, the reality is that it will still be around five days a week.

For 100 years the post office has accepted children's letters to Santa Claus. Postal "elves" sort through the hundreds of thousands of letters every year and identify those that express "serious need," according to the USPS website.

Depending on where you want to ship something, you can save big bucks by choosing the post office over FedEx or UPS.

The post office handled 5.6 million passport applications in 2011, according to its website.

Where Internet access is sparse and people can't rely on email, post offices play an integral role in communication. Close to 80 percent of the post offices that may be closed are in areas where poverty rates are higher than the national average, Reuters reports.

The Postal Service has 546,000 career employees, according to its website.

On January 23, the Postal Service started accepting applications for 400 new positions in Indiana.

The post office recently honored Rosa Parks with a new stamp. Hundreds of people gathered for the big unveiling, according to Yahoo! News.

Handwriting used to be essential to personal improvement and the key to understanding someone, the Wall Street Journal reports. A 1989 study at the University of Virginia discovered that addressing bad handwriting in schools had a positive effect on reading and word recognition skills.

Voting Reform Initiatives Probably Doomed For All The Typically Dumb And Cynical Reasons

Way back when President Barack Obama was reelected in November, his celebratory speech included this shout-out to the hundreds of thousands of voters who'd had to wait in long lines at the polls. "I want to thank every American who participated in this election," Obama said, "whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time. By the way, we have to fix that."

And so, cometh the attempts to do all the fixing of that. But it won't be easy, reports The New York Times, because these attempts are "setting up a likely new conflict with Republicans over a deeply polarizing issue." Now, conventionally speaking, "polarity" is the "property of having poles or being polar," so it raises the question, "Where my poles at?"

According to the Times, on the one hand we have "studies" that "suggest that long waiting times in some places depressed turnout in 2012," and an analysis from the good folks at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that "determined that blacks and Hispanics waited nearly twice as long in line to vote on average than whites." Meanwhile, another study, conducted by a professor from the Ohio State University in conjunction with the Orlando Sentinel, "concluded that more than 200,000 voters in Florida 'gave up in frustration' without voting."

The other pole? Well, the Times notes that "Republicans in several states across the country have passed or promoted measures they say are meant to reduce voter fraud." Which isn't exactly an opposite pole, really. Presumably you want as many people to vote with as little burden as possible while also maintaining the integrity of those elections. I'd also point out that while incidences of real, live in-person voter fraud are rarer than UFO sightings, those long lines that everyone is talking about in those studies are, in fact, a thing that is happening with high frequency in America.

Jamelle Bouie is probably doing the best job identifying the source of all this "polarity" in his latest piece over at the Plum Line, titled, "Obama’s voting reform push is doomed (because it would mean more Dem votes)."

The simple fact is that non- and infrequent voters skew Democratic, and voting reform is a sure way to bring those people into the electorate and make them regular voters. Expanding access is great for the country, but it would make the presidency a harder lift for Republicans, on account of their poor performance with women and minorities.
And so, the odds are good that Republicans will block any effort to streamline and simplify the nation’s voting infrastructure. If Obama decides to address voting in his State of the Union, the most likely outcome is continued inaction. And given Republican power at the state-level — as well as the GOP’s willingness to pass strict voter requirements — odds are good that by 2016, our voting system will be even more dysfunctional.

Right on cue, of course, comes your Commonwealth of Virginia's legislature -- late of exploring the idea of rigging the electoral vote system -- making the voting system even more dysfunctional:

The Senate legislation, and a companion measure -- House Bill 1337, sponsored by Del. Mark L. Cole, R-Spotsylvania, which cleared the House of Delegates today on a 63-36 vote -- would eliminate the use of a utility bill, pay stub, bank statement, government check and Social Security card as acceptable identification that can be presented at the polls. Voters would still be able to use a voter identification card, concealed handgun permit, driver's license and student ID card.

(Here's the requisite "I saw what you did there, with the concealed-carry allowance thing, guys" post from Alex Pareene, by the way.)

Now, I'm as cynical as they come, and if you were going to suggest that the only reason that Democrats are at all interested in shortening the lines at the polls on Election Day is to secure more, larger electoral victories, I'd say that while I've never heard any Democrat actually say this in public -- like, say, the way Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai just came out and said that the voter ID laws he was pushing were explicitly designed to give Pennsylvania to Mitt Romney -- I'd nevertheless concede that, absent the evident self-interest at play, voter reform probably wouldn't be a legislative priority or worthy of a mention at Obama's upcoming State of the Union address.

That said, it remains a matter of observable fact that those long lines didn't necessarily wreck Democrats' ambitions in 2012. And going forward, the game of campaigning is still very much the same -- both parties have the chance to pitch their policy ideas and philosophical preferences to as large a majority as possible, with the goal of scooping up that median-voter-plus-one and notching an electoral victory.

With that in mind, it doesn't necessarily follow that more voters successfully voting on Election Day ushers in some sort of permanent Democratic majority. Even if the first post-reform election goes that way, it simply creates a new set of circumstances to which the GOP is free to adapt to as they see fit.

Meanwhile, what exactly does the GOP want to tell a die-hard conservative voter in Hillsborough County, Fla. who has to give up on voting because someone needs to pick up the kids from school? "Sorry you didn't get to exercise your fundamental rights as an American, but thanks for taking one for the team?" The fear of more people voting just leads to a lot of dumb and dangerous places.

7 Reasons Why Unemployed People Should Start Blogging

Are you unemployed and are looking for work? If so, start blogging today! Read on to find out why… Blogging has exploded into the mainstream web over the recent years, with more and more people turning to blogging for a variety of reasons.

The beauty of blogging is that you don’t need a degree or a scholarship to start doing it, you don’t need a huge amount of money either, and more over being unemployed means you have all the time in the world to work on your blog, to some degree.

I certainly wished that I had made the decision to start blogging when I was unemployed for a solid 4 years, back almost 20 years ago, but to be honest the internet had only just started coming to life…

Today, blogging is no longer considered as a pastime online activity, in fact these days blogging is considered to have huge potential in becoming an extremely profitable business venture for many people, and for you too if you know how to do it right, and are prepared to work at it.

Many university and college students that I know have decided to start blogging to help them make some extra money, and even at the end of their studies some are able to sell their blogs for a considerable amount.

So I also think that people that are unemployed and are receiving some kind of allowance for being jobless should also take the opportunity to start a blog.

Blogging whilst being unemployed is a great way to expand your horizons and connect with a whole new community of like minded people online. In this article I’d like to outline 7 good reasons why blogging could benefit you whilst you’re looking for work. Who knows it might even become your full-time work…

1. If you have a blog, you’re able to create a compelling ‘about me’ page, as most bloggers use this page to provide their visitors with an insight into their professional background. Your ‘about me’ page will usually outline your experiences, qualifications, skills, ambitions and goals.

You can use your about page as your online resume. You can even link this page to your professional social network profiles such as your LinkedIn and eCademy profiles, should you have one of course.

2. Blogging can help you stay productive whilst building your online portfolio.

Being unemployed can sometimes be pretty boring, I mean you can only search for work for a few hours each day right? The rest of the time you’re playing the waiting game… So blogging can certainly help you remain productive.

3. Blogging can help improve your writing and grammar skills, essential in any line of work, and perfect when writing your letter of application to potential employers.

4. Blogging can help you build new connections and engage with other professional individuals in your industry.

5. Blogging can help you make money through various monetization methods, i.e. AdSense, promoting affiliate products etc.

6. Blogging can help you keep your morals up when feeling distressed and anxious, ensuring that you stay positive and have something to work for, even if you’re not getting paid much initially.

7. You don’t need any qualifications, a scholarship or even much, if any money at all to start blogging.

Being unemployed and searching for work can be a stressful time, I know too well what the feeling is like. You might feel as if that your family and friends look down upon you as if you’ve somehow let them down.

Blogging can be your ultimate road out of being unemployed, but even if it doesn’t it will certainly help you build an awesome online portfolio that might land you that dream job.

So just to recap, here are 7 reasons why being unemployed is the perfect opportunity to start blogging.

Your ‘About’ page is your resumeBlogging will help you stay productiveBlogging will help you hone in on your writing skillsBlogging helps you to connect with other professionals in your industryBlogging can earn you moneyBlogging can help you stay positiveYou don’t need any qualifications or previous experience to start blogging

So if you’re unemployed, start blogging today and start reaping the benefits.

Over to you!

I’d love to hear your thoughts about the points I made above. Perhaps you were once unemployed and turned to blogging to help you build credibility and to stay positive, perhaps blogging paved the way to a full-time career for you. Regardless, do share your reactions and comments below as always.

3 Reasons Why You Don’t Deserve To Make Money Blogging

Make Money Blogging – Is that your primary goal?

It seems that sooner or later, every blogger wants to make this phrase a part of their blogging story. There are many bloggers who claim that their only passion is to blog their brains out without having the desire to make money from it, but yet they somehow manage to make a good chunk of income from their blogs. The reason why they make money blogging is because they’ve NOT followed the below mentioned practices as a part of their blogging career.

Even those bloggers who struggled during the earlier times of their blog, but yet they came out to be winners. Hence, here are a few reasons why you don’t really deserve to make money blogging -

By ‘last priority’, I mean the part when your blog starts generating enough revenue. Most bloggers start blogging after reading “How I Made $1000 in a day” like articles where they forget to read the part that the person who made a thousand bucks in a day had been a blogger for years, and that finally resulted as a boost for him to make money blogging.

Blogging is something where you need to start off with the word ‘quality’ in your mind, maintain the same word no matter how successful you become, and then the opportunity to make money will automatically follow.

But as you can see that nowadays, all new bloggers just keep on hoping to make money blogging without giving their best. They forget that even hopes need some part to be fulfilled on the other side – the side the bloggers themselves.

Another thing that can happen is this: bloggers often stray from their niche and start writing about stuff that is totally irrelevant to the topic they started in. This leads to the loss of consistent readership and traffic to your blog which is a big problem!

You must be wondering – “I do want clients, but they don’t want me!”. First of all a client, when it comes to blogging, is any person who wants to advertise on your blog in one or the other way. There are several ways through which you can offer advertisement on your blog through the use of plugins such as OIO Publisher, Adpress Ad Manager etc. A few of them are -

BannersText-Link Ads Throughout The BlogSponsored ReviewsIn-Content Backlinks and much more.

Always remember one thing that a client is as much satisfied as you make him. If a frequent advertiser loves your blog but doesn’t really know what all you could offer as advertisements, then it’s you who is at fault and loss, of course.

In short – let the world know all of the advertisement options you offer on your blog, most probably by having an ‘Advertise’ page. Also, use services such as BuySellAds to make it easier for advertisers to find your listing, and for you, to reach the eyes of a wider audience of potential advertisers.

That’s what many bloggers want. All they want is pure money, and no investment at all. If you’re taking blogging as a business, then be prepared to invest in it as well and it is not a PLC (Public Limited Company) where you can raise your capital by getting on the stock exchange! Invest in themes, invest in WP Plugins, invest in services such as Blog Engage, and research tools such as Market Samurai etc.

Many bloggers aren’t confident enough to spend money to invest in premium tools for their blog, believing that their blogs are not worth it.

They believe that blogging is tree where fruits (money) just grows after you plant the seed, but that’s not true! One has to provide water (quality content), pesticides, manure (investments) etc in order to get those fresh ripe fruits!

The possibilities are endless depending upon your requirements, hence choose wisely and have faith in your dedication – money will not come to you, it will fly.

Now over to you, what are your plans to make money from your blog?

Someone has to be at the foot of the aircraft steps, to say goodbye, holding the handkerchief and wiping their eyes. Someone has to receives the letters, the brightly colored postcards, the long distance phone calls. Someone has to stay and look after the house that once was full of children and relatives, watering the plants they left and feeding the old dog that was so faithful to them. Someone has to keep the family memories, grandmother's mahogany dresser, the wide mirror with the quicksilver coming loose in the corners. Someone has to preserve the jokes that no longer spark laughter, the negatives of the photographs never printed. Someone has to stay to stay.

This 2013, when so many await the implementation of Immigration and Travel Reform, could become a year where we say "goodby" many time. While I respect the decision of each person to settle here or there, it doesn't fail to sadden me to see the constant bleeding of creativity and talent suffered by my country. It's frightening to know the number of Cubans who no longer want to leave here, or raise their children on this Island, or realize their professional careers in the country. A tendency that in recent months has had me saying goodbye to colleagues and friends who leave for exile, neighbors who sell their homes to pay for a flight to some other place; acquaintances who I haven't seen for some weeks whom I later learn are now living in Singapore or Argentina. People who are tired of waiting, of postponing their dreams.

But someone has to stay to close the door, turn the lights off and on again. Many have to stay because this country has to be reborn with fresh ideas, with young people and future proposals. At least the illusion has to stay, the regenerative capacity must remain here; the enthusiasm clings to this earth. In 2013, among the many who remain, one must definitely be hopeful.
