Shorte st Review Earn Money From URL Shortening
Hello guys, Here is yet another way you can make cool cash from your blog.Blogging is said to be one of the most awesome profession these days! Why? The answer is easy for this question but still I would like to explain it to you; Blogging is something which has no rules just one thing is required and i.e hard work. If you are able to do good amount of hard work on your blog then surely you can earn some huge bucks from it and not only that you can even become the next internet tycoon! But now the question comes that how once can monetize his/her blog, most of the people would say that Adsense is the best place to do so but I would ask you to go for some alternative methods too! Why? Because once a great person said, ‘Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.’ And this is what I ask you to follow. Instead of just depending on Adsense you can even go for other monetization methods like link shortening which is said to be the most awesome methods.
But among so many link shortening providers you should go for Shorte.st! Why? Here is the answer!
What is Shorte.st?
Shorte.st is the most awesome link shortening service. It actually pays you just for shortening the link with them and then sharing it on social media. Cool! Isn’t it? But you might be wondering that why someone will pay for just shortening a link with the help of their tool…. Well, Shorte.st doesn’t only shortens the links but once someone clicks on those links, the person goes through an ad which is shown for 5 seconds and you are actually getting paid for displaying those ads.
How Shorte.st Works ?
As I told you earlier, shorte.st actually pays you for shortening the links and when user clicks on it, the links drive users to a new webpage where they show ads for 5 seconds and that is the main thing you will actually get paid for! But if you are not satisfied with this much stuff, you can actually go for the referral program which will help you earn some more bucks!
How to Join Shorte.st
I know you are pretty excited to sign up for the service, but calm down! You should never do anything in hurry as the results of such tasks are bad in future! So you can easily sign up for the shorte.st from HERE!
Once you have signed up, you are ready to go and storm the whole blogosphere with you additional earnings! Another thing before you leave, make sure that you don’t violate policies of Shorte.st, if you don’t know about them then you can always check them from the official website!
The Payout & Payment Proof
So the next biggest question is that what is going to be the payout given by shorte.st? Yeah, after all we are all doing this for money so we need to know about it. Let me tell you that the payout differs from person to person. The standard rate of payout is counted per 1000 views. So if your shortened links get at least 1000 views then you are paid an amount between 0.3$ and 1.66$, it differs according to the places you drive the clicks from. And if you think that this much money is not enough to achieve your dreams then you can even sign up for the referral program under which you can get some extra bucks! And extra bucks are always great for getting a beer or a cup of coffee!
Note: Shorte.st currently has a minimum withdrawal of $20 through Paypal or Payoneer.
If we missed anything then do let us know in the comment section below! And yeah another thing, you’re welcome!
Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Review
Competition in the budget and mid-range smartphone segments has been getting fiercer by the day, and buyers arent complaining one bit. At this point, a lot of people no longer think it makes sense to spend big money on high-end smartphones, when options such as the Le 1s and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 offer practically everything you want at a fraction of the price. The sub-Rs. 15,000 space is where most of the excitement is today.
Apart from Xiaomi and LeEco, Lenovo also competes in this segment with the Vibe K4 Note, which is on our test bench today. After the success of the K3 Note, Lenovo is going into this one with massive goodwill on its side. The phone was at first available only through flash sales, but can now be bought freely online. Does it have what it takes to compete in the most exciting smartphone battle of early 2016? We find out in our review.
Look and feelWhile the Redmi Note 3 and Le 1s are made of metal, the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note is unashamedly plastic. Everything from the removable back panel to the frame and edges of the device is made of plastic, but the phone is still only marginally lighter than both its metal competitors. That said, the Vibe K4 Note does have a sense of solidity and durability to it, and looks alright as well.
The back has the camera, fingerprint sensor and flash, along with Lenovo and Dolby Atmos logos. Our review unit was black and had a matte finish which lent it a fair bit of sophistication. Theres also a white option, which looks nice as well. The back panel pops off quite easily to reveal the SIM and microSD slots. These are thankfully separate, so you can have two SIMs in place alongside additional storage if you choose. Also visible under the cover is the battery, but it isnt user-replaceable.
The edges have a fairly common layout, with the power and volume buttons on the right, Micro-USB port at the bottom, and 3.5mm socket at the top. The front of the phone is strikingly similar to that of the Lenovo Vibe X3 (Review), with its dual-speaker layout and extended Gorilla Glass that covers the capacitive keys, front camera, sensors and LED indicator. These similarities and design cues extend to other parts of the phone as well, and in fact the K4 Note is marketed as the Vibe X3 Lite in some countries.
The sales package includes a plastic protective case, screen protector film, and a useful 10W charger, which charges up the 3300mAh battery quickly. Although the protective case adds a fair bit of bulk to a phone thats already on the larger side, it might be a good idea to use it to avoid scratches and nicks on the edges.
The screen of the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note is a 5.5-inch full-HD IPS LCD panel. Although it has a slightly warm tone to it, the screen is incredibly bright, sharp and detailed. There is a beautiful sense of sophistication to the way everything looks, and the display is, once again, very similar to the one on the Vibe X3, which makes it excellent for the price of the phone.
Specifications and software The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note runs on the MediaTek MT6753 SoC, clocked at 1.3GHz for all of its eight cores. This is most similar to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC, and three months into 2016, is starting to feel a bit dated. In comparison, the Le 1s uses the more powerful MediaTek Helio X10 SoC, while the Redmi Note 3 runs on the brand new and highly capable Snapdragon 650. Both of those seem like much better options if performance is what youre looking for.
Theres also 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (expandable by up to 128GB), Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac compatibility, and 4G connectivity on both SIM slots. TDD Band 40 and FDD Band 3 are both supported. However, only one SIM can run 4G at any time, with the other dropping to 3G. The internal storage is less than the 32GB offered by the Le 1s and Redmi Note 3, which is a disappointment. However, the Le 1s does not allow for expandable storage, while the Redmi Note 3 is officially limited to 32GB microSD cards.
The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note is compatible with the ANT VR headset, which is being sold as an optional extra for Rs. 1,299. The phone quickly prepares any ordinary content for VR use, and you simply have to switch the phone to VR mode through the power menu and slot it into the headset to use. Although the phone falls short of its competition in a few other ways, this major feature is totally unique and gives it a serious advantage, as one of the most affordable devices with VR compatibility.
The phone runs on Android 5.1, with Lenovos Vibe UI on top. The interface has gone through some significant improvements of late, and is now incredibly polished and easy to use. One of the most useful recent changes is the addition of a dual-layered mode, which enables the app drawer and allows for a look and feel that is more reminiscent of stock Android. You can of course choose to revert to the single-layered mode of the past, but we found no good reason to do so.
The biggest improvements to the user interface are in the form of customisation options. Everything from the home screens and interface to the quick settings menu is highly customisable, and you can set the phone up exactly as you like. The notification log feature we saw on the Vibe X3 is also carried over, letting you go back to notifications youve already dismissed. There are a bunch of pre-installed apps including Amazon, WeChat and Lenovos suite of tools, but most of these can be uninstalled and you can keep things clean and light if you choose to do so.
The settings menu is chock full of options to tweak the phone, giving you enhanced control over practically every aspect of the device. There are useful features as well, such as being able to double-tap to wake the screen, flip the phone over to lock it, and take a quick photo by quickly double-pressing a volume key.
The fingerprint sensor can recognise up to two stored fingerprints, which are used to unlock the phone. It works quickly and effortlessly, usually unlocking it without any trouble. The sensor can also be used for certain functions when the phone is unlocked, such as serving as a shutter button for the camera, going back, or pulling up the app switcher. The whole system works efficiently, and on the whole, Lenovos Vibe UI is now among the better manufacturer interfaces weve used.
CameraThe primary camera of the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note is a 13-megapixel shooter with a dual-tone LED flash, while the front camera is a 5-megapixel affair. Both are capable of recording video at 1080p. Photography modes are basic and limited to the essentials. Panorama, filters, self-timer, HDR and multi-shot are all accounted for, though.
The camera app is the epitome of simplicity, with toggles only for the camera switcher, flash and HDR mode. Recording video is a two-step procedure, and the Mode menu only lets you choose panorama mode or filters. Within the Settings menu, you can control manual settings, photo resolution and ratio, video resolution, and a few other things such as touch shutter, smile detection, and a self-timer.
Pictures taken with the primary camera are sharp and detailed in and around the focus area, but bright parts of the image have a tendency to wash out. For close-ups, indoor shots and low-light photography, this isnt really a problem and pictures are very good in those situations. Low-light and indoor shots in particular are excellent, and the phone succeeds in brightening up dull settings while maintaining a fair amount of detail.
However, the washing out of bright colours is a serious problem, and daylight tends to flood parts of pictures to the point where entire portions of pictures are overpowered. On the whole, pictures arent terrible, but the camera isnt anywhere near as good as other options weve seen in this price range. If camera quality is your primary concern, youre better off looking at options such as the Asus ZenFone Max.
Performance
The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note is powered by the MediaTek MT6753 with an integrated Mali T720MP3 GPU, and also has 3GB of RAM. Coupled with the efficient software, this keeps things running fairly smoothly and youre unlikely to have any performance issues with the phone. Gaming is also smooth for the most part, although heavy games such as Dead Trigger 2 did generate a fair bit of heat and cause rapid battery drain. Our suite of heavily encoded videos also ran well, with barely any visible lag or stutter.
However, the phones performance is not on par with that of its two biggest competitors, and you will get better performance from both the Le 1s and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Both these devices use newer hardware that performs better. Benchmark results for the K4 Note were more or less on par with other MT6753 and Snapdragon 615 devices, with scores of 36,637 and 20,525 in AnTuTu and Quadrant respectively. GFXBench and 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme logged scores of 12fps and 3923 respectively. All of these are much lower than those of the two phones we mentioned before, and represent the weaknesses that this phone has when it comes to raw performance.
The Vibe K4 Notes 3300mAh battery ran for 8 hours, 54 minutes in our video loop test, which is barely above average. However, with ordinary use, the phone ran for a bit longer than the loop test would have us think, often easily lasting through the day even with 4G connectivity and moderate-to-heavy use. Battery consumption by the screen is particularly heavy, so the longer you have the screen on, the less battery life you can expect.
Sound output from the phone is particularly good, thanks to the dual stereo speakers in front. Sound is loud, clear and sharp, and audio through headphones is decent as well. The Vibe K4 Note has Dolby Atmos support, which sounds a bit ridiculous considering that Atmos is typically a multi-speaker atmospheric setup that requires speakers to be positioned overhead, along with the use of complicated processing equipment.
Enabling Atmos mode on the phone changes the sound ever so slightly by widening the soundstage and giving you the impression of audio sources being more spread out and open. It isnt what were typically used to with Atmos, but its an interesting tweak nonetheless. Apart from this, the phone does a decent job of holding onto both cellular and Wi-Fi networks, and often caught a strong Wi-Fi signal where other devices couldnt.
Verdict
The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note is a bit of a mixed bag for us. Its great in certain ways, such as its screen, fingerprint sensor, sonic capabilities, and excellent software. Theres also the fact that the smartphone is ready for VR use, and you can pick up the inexpensive ANT VR headset and quickly watch any content in VR mode. Additionally, its worth noting that you can have up to 128GB of expandable storage while using two SIM cards in this device. Having 3GB of RAM is another nice touch that is helpful in keeping things running smoothly.
Unfortunately, there are shortcomings, notably when it comes to the construction materials, internal storage, performance, and camera quality. The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note was an excellent option at the start of 2016, but has now been shadowed by Xiaomi and LeEco. It shows how fierce competition is, but we have to say that at this point, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is in all ways a better smartphone. However, if the VR capabilities appeal to you, or if software, brand value and easy availability are important factors, then the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note is still definitely worth considering.
MMM Global Review
Are you willing to provide help to those who are in need? Ofcourse you do! Most of us, if not all, are always willing to extend our helping hands to them , but in one condition, If we have "extra". Sadly, limited financial sources are the reasons why we cant devote ourselves to provide help to less fortunate people as we have ourselves that have needs to attend to.
But what if you donate to someone and then someone else donates back to you? What if you donate a certain amount of your money and get 100% more from your donation from someone who is willing to give back to you?
It may sounds too good to be true, but it do exists and it is happening right now inside MMM Global Community where all the participants are utilizing the power of "give and take" relationship.
If you are like us, willing to help others and at the same time, need others to help you back, then the community is the right place for you.
What Is MMM Global Community?
MMM or Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox Global is a community where people voluntarily helping each other without conditions, guarantees or promises. It is a kind of a mutual aid fund that to be distributed between the participants in the community.
Here in MMM, theres no need to make contracts nor the need to pledge your property.
There are no lenders and no debtors.
Everything is very simple: one participant asks for help — another one helps and vice versa
MMM Global was founded by a Russian Mathematician, Sergey Mavrodi, who once worked as a programmer and took part on developing the first operating systems. Apparently, he decided to quit on his job as he realized that working eight hours routinely is a form of slavery. He founded his own business and became one of the leading computer equipment distributors in Russia. On 2011, he started the campaign against the unjust financial status of the people in lower society by founding MMM.
How does It Works?
When a participant provides help(donate), he/she directly send it to another participants account. And when you get help(receive donations), it will go directly to your account.
There is no main and/or in middle account, where all the money flows to (and where it can be easily stolen from). All the money(donations) are distributed to all the participants in the community.
MMM will only provide a technical basic program, which helps millions of participants worldwide to find those who NEED help, and those who are ready to PROVIDE help for FREE.
The System completely belongs to people. Without fools. It is a real mutual aid fund, where ordinary people help each other.
Participants transfer their donations through BITCOINS. It is a digital currency that have its own rates and can be transferred easily and quickly without hassles all over the world. To convert Bitcoins into cash, you just need to connect your bank account and transfer the Bitcoins in it.
The Pros And Cons Of MMM Global Community
Pros:
- Free to join
- The community is open to EVERYONE
- A participant can get up to 100% more from his/her donations
- The donations are delivered directly to the participants in the community, so theres no reason and its impossible for MMM to Scam you.
- The System of MMM will make it sure that all the donations of the participants are confirmed. It means that receipts of your donations will be displayed in your accounts dashboard when you donate and same things happen when you received the donations from the other participants.
Cons
- No Guarantees
Conclusions: Again, I have to remind you that MMM Global is a community where people are helping each other. It means, all the participants in the community are Selfless individuals who are willing to help, wither someone else help them back or not.
MMM promotes the value of Kindness and Honesty, that is why, joining the community have no guarantees, no promises, no conditions. And why is that? Because simply its the truth! There is no guarantee in EVERYTHING... God already informed us that theres no guarantee if we live shorter or longer, but we still tries to live in the best our life can give, because we want to cherish the life we have right now.
And that is why Millions of people joins MMM Global community because they want to experience the power of giving, even though, there is no guarantee that others will help them back.
Some of you will wonder, How come there are companies that are giving promises and guarantees to their members and clients? Because they need to LIE in order to get the trust from the members.
How many banks that guarantee you that your money is safe with them? And then, youll be shocked when you heard the news that your bank declares bankruptcy. But of course the bank will promise to pay you, but the question is when?
How many companies that sells their products and guarantee you the best results? And when you try it, theres slight or no effect at all.
How many companies that offers you a Big Return Of Investment without doing anything?
At first, youll be happy and inspires to invite others because they seem doing what they promised you. But then, when the company received a lot of positive reviews which equals to more investors, and then youll be shocked that their company is now closed and the owner and staffs are nowhere to be found.
Theres a lot of instances that some of the companies will guarantee you a positive result, but unfortunately, theyll just impressed you in a short run in order to convince you to add more of your investments, and then bad news happened, the company scammed you.
It is very clear that you cannot guarantee in anything at all. You need to take the risk to know the results.
And now that youre more aware about the PROs and CONs in joining MMM Global, it;s time to decide: are you In or Out? Anyway, if youre looking for more motivations, you can check our participants testimonials here.

Conclusion
The Leagoo OS 1.2 on the Shark 1 is very smooth and very well customized. Transitions, animations, apps switching and general OS fluidity is just great, I really like it a lot. During our tests, we experienced zero force closes, hangups or stability issues. Google Play and gapps are working without issue. Google Play Services updated no problem. 3rd party apps downloaded and updated without issues. When first connecting to WiFi we received a notice that an OTA update was available. The OTA downloaded and installed without any problems.
The Leagoo Shark 1 is a great phone. It has exceptional battery life, great GPS, outstanding top class WiFi, and a beautiful FHD display. On top of all this we get a very fast charging battery, super smooth and stable OS, intriguing Touch-ID possibilities and fantastic RAM management. Leagoo Shark 1 is an easy phone to recommend.
