These days good things are happening in Turkey in terms of ecommerce and Internet businesses. Last week I joined a meeting of etohum in Istanbul. It is a platform aiming at associating investors, professionals and companies with young entrepreneurs who have  ideas about the new economy.

etohum is a brilliant platform for young and inexperienced Turkish entrepreneurs. 30 individual/team will attend their Internet enterprise education program.

The good thing about etohum is their doors are open to anyone who has new business ideas but has not started a company yet, or has his own Internet company/enterprise but needs capital, management, marketing.

Between August 2008 and May 2009, people desiring to be Internet entrepreneurs, will find a proper entrepreneurship environment for education purposes. They will also have a chance for their business plans to be evaluated and assessed by companies, investors and other peers.

Last week’s etohum meeting hosted Onder Eren, founder – General Manager at Mavi Kelebek New Media Solutions. He introduced his new project TakasMerkezi.com(English version whatswap.com will soon be available!) The idea is simple yet brilliant. Swap your unused valuable goods at the website to earn credits. And then use those credits to buy books, CDs, electronic goods etc. I will later write a longer post when whatswap.com is available!

Tonight I will join another etohum meeting. This time we are going to meet Serdar Kuzuoglu from Televidyon.com. I will tell you insider info from the meeting later this week.

Would you like to have your very own profitable blog? How about a blog that only takes 3 simple steps to install, requires No Technical Knowledge and once you done with your clicks – fully configured and customized!

Does that sound too good to be true? Well, my friend Alex Sysoef has done a great job and launched Expert WordPress program. Frankly speaking I was a bit skeptical myself until I had a chance to try. The program is made of video tutorials where Alex shares his vast knowledge and experience about WordPress and making money online with it. It is really a no-brainer process of uploading one file, editing one file and then filling a few blanks on a web form and choosing what niche you would like to dominate!

The good thing about the program is that a custom script does the full blog configuration and customization based on a few answers you provide on web page and you got a clear winner. But you really must see the video that shows you entire process to understand just how simple it is.

Watch the video Expert WordPress to see how anyone can create a blog in less than 4 minutes from Start to Publish.

Conclusion:

I have joined the program a few days ago. If you are trying to improve your WordPress skills or trying to upgrade it from Blogger then Expert WordPress is one the best options available in the market. I personally think that Alex is crazy that he is selling it at such a low price. Anyway, before he recognizes the true value, I wanted to get the word out to you.

Did you hear about Scour? Scour is the next generation search engine with Yahoo/MSN/Google results and users comments all on one page. The best of all, you get paid for using it by earning points with every search you made. Also you get scores per comment and vote. The points are then converted to Visa gift cards. It is more or less like earning credit card or airline points just for searching. Cool, isn’t it?

How it Works?

The idea is based on a simple principle: “Search socially and get the most from your favorite search engine!”

• Hit the link below to join for free and we will both get points. You get 25% of the points your friends make. Please do not misunderstand, I will be rewarded with 25% of the points you will be earning. You will not lose 25% of your points. http://scour.com/invite/merkal2005
• After you join, start searching and you will get results from Google, Yahoo, and MSN on one page. This is really cool!
• You earn the following number of points for each action: 1=Search, 2=Vote, 3=Comment
• When you have earned enough points you can redeem them for Visa gift cards sent directly to you. Excellent, right?

(I received a lot of comments saying Scour is SCAM. I will monitor them, and keep you updated!)
