#CryptoCup – A Virtual World Cup Blockchain Game Is Going To be Your Next Addiction

Last month I wrote about a blockchain startup called Velix.ID which is an identity verification platform. I love services built using blockchain. Today I bring you #CryptoCup, a virtual world cup game built on blockchain tech which revolves around the 2018 World Cup hosted by Russia. It’s created on the public Ethereum(ETH) blockchain, you can easily verify the transactions. This is the beauty of blockchain, you can check every transaction and verify its authenticity. #CryptoCup uses smart contract and you can see all the transaction here.

Let’s talk about #CryptoCup and how it works.

You start by buying teams you want, there are around 40 teams and each them have a base price. You pay using ETH by interacting with the CryptoCup Smart Contract. Each team you buy is registered against your wallet and stays with you until and unless someone decides to pay more and buy it from you. You will get a part of the transaction when someone buys your team. As the teams are bought by more people the prices go up after the team is transferred to the new owner.

You can earn in 2 different ways, one by trading teams or by winning some of the prize fund as a team progresses through the knockout stages.

The ultimate price is the knockout price, if you are an owner of a team which wins the tournament you will get a good portion of the knockout fund which was generated when the team was purchased by new owners.

Head over to cryptocup.online and purchase your dream team right now. You can purchase as many teams you want. Let me know through the comments once you make a purchase. This World Cup season going to be a bit more competitive for sure.

Start Your Journey With these Amazing Deals On VR Hardware

When I got my first cardboard VR kit I was as excited as the day I got my LEGO kit when I was a child. Cardboard VR’s were a blessing when the mobile VR kits were introduced because the kits were expensive. They were being sold for around $500+ whereas cardboard was not more than $10. This was 4 years back and still now VR headsets being sold for more than $500. I never got a VR headset all these years because it was an evolving tech and I am pretty sure my $500 headset won’t matter after a year because new stuff is coming out daily. So I wanted to wait for sometime. I am not a guy who waits around, I have zero patience but my friend owned an HTC Vive, so I used to use that whenever possible.

Last month I came across an ad and found a website called The VRShop.co. And it happened, I got my first proper VR headset for mobile. It was so cheap that I was afraid that the quality might not be up to the mark. But to my surprise, the headset was good quality. I also got an HTC VIVE PU Leather Face foam replacement for my friend and he was happy with the quality. Well! They got me, both the products came in good condition and great quality. I have this bad habit of ordering more stuff when I find out a site which had quality stuff for a cheap price. They have listed PlayStation 4 VR and that’s going to be my next purchase along with Playstation VR Bag.

You guys should try them, whether you are new to VR or already own VR headsets. If you don’t want to spend much right now and would like to experience it, you should try the Virtoba V2 Cardboard 2.0, it’s just $9.99 and it will give a similar experience of a normal VR headset. Exclusive discount for our readers. Use the code “Low10” while checking out to get a flat 10% discount. Enjoy!

PublBox brings Social Media Strategising, Curating, Designing, Scheduling and Publishing under One Umbrella

From day one of my marketing career I keep hearing “Content is King” and yes it is. With the right content, you can sell your product without any hassles. I come across various brands and I go blank when it comes to finding the right content to share. Keeping content interesting and informative is not a small task. It starts with finding the information and then turning that into an image with the help of a designer or turning it into a video. I don’t publish anything on my social media pages without an image or a video. But this takes up a lot of time. Coordinating with the designers or the video editors is a pain when you are not with them in the same room. I tried a couple of designing software out there, but those didn’t help much because it involved a lot of moving around. First I had to design on one website and later download that and then again upload it to the post scheduling site. For a bit, I did this but it got too time-consuming.

Last week I came across PublBox like I’ve mentioned the headline, they bring everything to one single website. PublBox helps you with Content Strategy, scheduling, designing your posts and more. I just love how they suggest content type and also how they suggest a picture along with it. The picture which is suggested can also be edited using the drag and drop image designer.

They are still working on amazing new features which included “Post ideas”. The “Post ideas” is every social media managers dream for sure. There are times when we run out of ideas. I checked out their content strategy and it was pretty neat and relevant, so I am sure that “post ideas” is also going to suggest relevant ideas. Other than English they are available in 5 different languages.

I hope in future they integrate with Zapier. I would be soon writing about how I have automated my marketing with Zapier. I am still playing around with Zapier, just giving you guys a heads up. I would like to see a Zapier integration for PublBox.

Now coming to the support. They have a live chat support system, I was able to get hold of a customer service executive within 5-10 mins. He helped me with my issues and sorted it within minutes.

Try out PublBox and let me know your thoughts.

Cheapest Laptops With Windows 10 & 1 TB Hard Disk In India

Previous financial year went for me. I’ll be moving to new office space to accommodate more people. Will be sharing more about my growth on my blog here. In this article I want to focus on some research I’ve been doing while scouting the web for new machines for my new office. When I was scouting for new laptops my requirements were Windows 10, 1 TB HDD space, 4GB RAM, decent inbuilt graphics card and the price to be something which comes under my budget.

Before going to my local dealer I check the pricing online to finalize some models. As usual I logged in to top e-commerce players in the country. They did provide me a list of cheap laptops but upon checking the reviews I noticed that most of the reviews are fake and more than half of them were paid reviews. Negative reviews showed that those laptops didn’t last long because of many reasons.

I realised these sites are not be trusted. So I turned to some blogs who write genuine reviews. Most of them were lazy blogging or copy pasted stuff. One of the websites which wrote good reviews was Review Station. They have an article names 10 Best Laptops Under 35000 Rs in India (2017) | Review Station and the articles gives a list of cheapest laptops with windows 10 & 1 TB hard disk in India. I really wished I visited this site before wasting my time e-commerce sites which gives you fake reviews. This incident has really changed on how I purchase anything electronics.

Do you know any blog or website which gives genuine reviews after testing out the product, so let me know through comments.

No More Wasting Your Hard Disk Space for Bloated Camera Softwares – Camtaker is Here!

I’m more of a web app person than a software person. I’ve ditched Microsoft Word for Google Docs, Powerpoint for Google Slides, etc. I’ve uninstalled many softwares because there are many better alternatives for them online. And now I’ve discovered my favorite camera web app, Camtaker.

So, why do I uninstall softwares for online apps? There are many factors behind this, but the main one is storage space, Some softwares take a massive amount of your hard disk space, especially Microsoft Office. So I started looking for alternatives. I’ve found alternatives for a lot of my softwares including Photoshop. I’ll be writing a detailed article on my alternate web apps soon in a different article.

Today I’m going to share details about my latest discovery and alternate software for clicking pictures using your webcam. Windows 8 and above comes with a built-in camera app and up until Windows 10 Anniversary update they didn’t allow uninstalling these softwares. But now after the update we can delete these softwares. So I started searching for Camera web apps and found Camtaker.com. It’s a simple website and does what the description says.

You can quickly and easily click photos with the webcam and save to your computer for free. All you have to do is click in the Snapshot button and you are done. You have a nice picture of you for profile picture needs across the web. Camtaker is a simple app and doesn’t confuse you with thousands of buttons or fancy stuff. I think they should add an advanced section where we get to add filters and stuff. I mentioned advanced section because the site is good the way it is now and more features will confuse new users, so instead, an advanced section will help regular users to have more fun.

Try Camtaker here and let me know your experience using the comment box.

Fusioo: The Most Flexible CRM & Project Management Software
Finding a CRM & project management software for Short of the Month was a huge task. We have 5 teams working on different things for the same festival. These different teams are:
1. Selection Team
2. Operation Team
3. Design Team
4. Filmmaker Support Team
5. Review Team
We don’t a have the same workflow every month. At times Selection team has to work with the Design team and at times with review team. Most of the project management software out there didn’t give us the option to do this. Most of them had a simple straight flow. But we needed something which could assign tasks to someone or a team with a simple click. With Fusioo communicating with team members was never so easy. Grab someone’s attention to a talk or project by mentioning them. Fusioo helps us work the way we want. They gave us the freedom to do anything.

Another great feature which makes Fusioo my favorite is integrations. We use around 5-6 other apps to run Short of the Month including WordPress, Slack, Twilio, etc. Fusioo’s Zapier integration makes it easier to connect with other apps. I’ll be soon writing about automation and how it helped us save a lot of time and yes Fusioo is going to be featured in that article.

Fusioo is not like other CRM and project management software out there. Fusioo makes you feel like a god with all the functions and flexibility it offers. When a team member makes a request to make some changes to the workspace, I can implement it in minutes. With our previous CRM, I had to wait for a developer to do it for me. Fusioo’s onboarding helps you get to know every tool they provide without much confusion. They have made an amazing app.

You can try Fusioo for 14-days for free and if you like their features you can continue using it for $9 per month(if paid yearly).

Save Your Money With Coupons And Deals On CashSnap.in

Indian e-commerce is booming since past couple of years and the growth is amazing. A report by Google India shows that there were 35 million online shoppers in India in 2014 Q1 and expected to cross 100 million mark by the end of 2016. We spend a lot on e-commerce sites, most of us like online shopping rather than physically walking to a shop. There are multiple factors for this, my main reason is that I’m lazy. Who wants to drive through the traffic and buy things? That’s me though, I have friends who like to shop physically, they want to touch and feel the item before buying it. So we all have our reasons.

Another reason why I like online shopping is discounts. We all are aware of the discounts online sites provide. Flipkart, when it started, grabbed our attention because of the low price it provided compared to retail stores. We love low price and discounts but let’s not forget cashbacks. Cashback became a thing after e-wallets launched in India. It’s still growing.

There are 100’s of e-commerce websites in India and all of them provide different deals everyday. It’s not an easy task to find these discounts. Well, you can always sit and search through all the websites. Good luck with that. 😉

But there are many sites which list these deals and coupons. But only a couple of them are up-to-date. My favourite of all is CashSnap. Out of 25-30 coupon sites I’ve used only coupons from CashSnap worked every single time. It’s frustrating when a coupon is expired and it’s still listed on the site, but CashSnap coupons always work.

CashSnap has listed all the top e-commerce websites on their site. They provide Amazon coupons, Flipkart coupons, Snapdeal coupons, Paytm coupons and much more. I’m looking forward to having more stores. CashSnap addresses the main issue which other coupon sites haven’t addressed so far. They don’t have expired coupons. All the coupons I used so far worked and this is something I look when I use a coupon site.

Try CashSnap today and let me know your experience via comments. Happy shopping. 🙂

Find Your Website Ranking & Value For Free With Zigstat
Creating a website is not a big task right now. But managing it and ranking it across search engines takes a lot of effort, time & money. A dedicated webmaster won’t mind putting his efforts and time into his website to rank it. But how do one measure the website rank? Basic and old school method is to search for the keyword and find what your page rank is. But there are tools which can help you understand more about your site. Most of these tools are expensive and beginners cannot afford them.

I’ve tried many free tools and they didn’t reveal much about my site. They asked me to upgrade to premium to find more about my site. After testing many free tools I found my favorite one, Zigstat.

Zigstat stands out in many ways. It provides a lot of data under one page, you don’t have to go clicking around on multiple pages. Zigstat provides the following data.
- Estimated Value of your site and daily earning(if ads enabled)
- Estimated number of unique visitors and pageviews per day
- Alexa ranking with graph
- Pagespeed
- Moz rank
- Social media share/like stats
- Inpage SEO Analysis report
- List of websites using the same IP as yours
- Details about your IP
- WHOIS Data
Zigstat Mashable Analytics

Phew! That’s a lot of features, right? You might not use all the features but why complain when you are getting it for free. My favorite and most used features are Alexa ranking, Moz ranking and list of websites using the same IP. Knowing which websites use the same IP as yours help you know how safe is your site and could avoid getting blacklisted. Trust me you don’t want your website to be blacklisted search engines. If a website which uses the same IP as your websites does something the search engines don’t like, the search engine will blacklist them and won’t show up in the search results. In some cases, they block the IP and your site might also get blacklisted for no reason. So keep an eye on this list and regularly check the sites hosted on the same IP.

Head over to zigstat.com and check your website’s analytics. Let me know your experience via the comment box.

5 Features of customizedkart.com That Will Make You Fall in Love with eCommerce Site
Everyone loves gift. We share gifts on every occasion. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Farewells 🙁 , Festivals, etc. Gifts bring happiness and love. Gifts are special and there are thousand different ways to make them extra space and one way is to give a customized gift. Back in the days, we used to write down notes or design cards to make it unique and special. Even though it took time and effort, thinking about the end result will keep us motivated. As a child this is fun and we had all the time in the world. But what about people who work all day or if you’ve college. I’m sure, more than 80% of us don’t have the luxury of sit down and make something.

Last month it was my cousin’s birthday and every year I used to gift her something unique. But this time, I wasn’t able to make something for her because of my job. Getting her a customized gift was my first thought. So I started searching for some local shops who does this and found out that they charge a lot and took almost 1 week to deliver. That’s when I turned to eCommmerce websites. Tried many sites and I had bad user experience on almost every site except for customizedkart.com.

Customized Kart is awesome in many ways. 5 main things I liked about the site are:
- Low Price
They offer the lowest price on every product. You can get products front the site starting at 24 INR. That’s less than a $1. They also have discount on every item they sell.
- Product Range
You don’t have to send the same gift to your friends and family. Customized Kart offers a wide variety of items to customize. You can get Mugs, Cushions, Bags, Cute Pillows, Photo Frames, Key Chains and more.
- Delivery Time
This is the main factor which attracts me to a website. What is the fun if you order something today and receive it 2 weeks later? Customized Kart got you covered there too, they will deliver the product in 2-3 days, the max they will take is 7 days if you are far away from their office.
- Customer Service
Their customer support covers everything from pre-purchase to post-purchase. They provide both e-mail and phone support. Getting instant answers from a business, helps you make your purchase decision fast. Shout out to Customized Kart customer service reps.
- One Picture Upload to Rule them all
This is the coolest feature they have. On the top right-hand side of the site, you’ll find an option to upload a picture. Upload a picture and click on Apply to all products and see the magic happen. The image you uploaded will be applied to all the products across the site. Amazing and unique feature.

Go check out the site and let me know your experience after customizing some gifts. Let me know your favorite feature. Also, create an account and get Rs. 100 which will be added to your Customized Kart to your wallet. Enjoy! 🙂
