Google Drive

The buzz is that….

Google is driving Google Drive, oh, not on the streets of Paris, indeed on the clouds.
Yes, you heard right, as soon in put query “drive” in Google Search Engine, the suggestion tool shown me drive.google.com in drop down at No 3, needless to say I followed the link and I was greeted by Google Drive page, where in the extreme top right is a sign in button. I am a google user since a decade or more and so I sign using my google id which drive to the next window saying “your drive is not ready yet, we will inform you in your mail once it get ready” so I am waiting for my new google drive.


What I will get is 5GB of free storage, that means enough to keep articles in rtf format for at least one year from now, sufficient for me. However if you are a business photographer for example, and need more space, you can go for a paid version and google drive will offer 25 GB storage.

At first look it seems, using Google Drive is easy as attaching an email or using a face book account. The people who are already Google Docs user will find it easy to use, however for new users I will personally say, do some hit and try with google docs if you have never used docs before, this will develop an understanding in you how to use Google Drive.

Trust matters, in past 10 years of day and night internet uses I never found any big flaw in google products even in Beta stage. Storing your data in Google Drive means giving access to Google to your important files and information; however they are highly professional and you can believe on them same as you believe on your banker. What to store and what not to store is completely your choice.

Here let me draw a fine line between what to store and what not to store on a Google Drive.

We all do banking, concerned bankers always knows how may $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ we have in our bank account. Do any of ever share information like ************* with a banker NO.

Same is true with Google Drive. Hope you understand well what I mean exactly.

Signing up for google drive is as easy as 1,2,3.

If you already have a google id you can sign in with the same.

Just logon to http://drive.google.com

One my google drive ready I will update you through this blog how to use google drive and its different aspects.

OneUp Today: Using AI to Make Reddit Outreach More Targeted, Personal, and Measurable

   For indie hackers and solopreneurs, finding early customers is often harder than building the product itself. Reddit can be a strong channel because it is full of niche communities where people openly discuss problems and ask for recommendations. The catch is scale. Manually scanning threads, writing thoughtful replies, following up in DMs, and tracking outcomes quickly turns into hours of daily work, and it is difficult to measure what is actually working. OneUp Today is a marketing automation platform built to reduce that manual workload while keeping the outreach human. It helps founders discover relevant conversations on Reddit, draft personalized responses and DMs in the founder’s own voice, and track what happens after someone clicks a link or replies. Why Reddit Works, and Why It’s Hard Unlike many ad platforms, Reddit is conversation-first. People show intent by describing their pain points in detail. That makes it valuable for early-stage products, es...

Why to hire human copywriter when AI can do the job

Good question, that many many many zombies throw at me when I discuss Copywriting. Of course Copywriting is not for zombies. If you are a person or company who has hired a Copywriter to make money then do not hire. Your goal is survival and not zoom or use change as an opportunity. Your question is pretty similar: why drink water when I have sweetlime tree in the backyard and a juicer in the kitchen. However, if you are a professional, business person, company or someone looking to make a change then a Copywriter is worth hiring. Why? If you are a beginner and truly stuck between thoughts of hiring a writer or going with AI, my suggestion is Go with both. Chose a human to use tools, chose a Copywriter to write and encourage him to use AI in creating copy. AI connects you with libraries worldwide and presents data in certain formats. It cannot add human touch. AI can not differentiate between good and bad, AI does not know who is your audience. A Copywriter can seek help from AI to fetc...

How to avoid distractions during COVID-19 while working from home

All of a sudden WFH become synonymous to work from home and it got hashtag #WFH as well. To those who new to work from, its a challenge. I work from home under different tags in over 13 years I am in habit of it. To me getting to work means leave the bed and take 2 steps. But at times even I get puzzled either due to less productivity or maybe there are days when I am not getting many thoughts to put in writing or maybe simply chair looks boring to me. To get rid of all this I have divided my tasks into chunks and I put those in different baskets. I prefer using a bigger screen but when I feel I am not comfortable sitting despite I am not tired I get to rest and do things on mobile, for example, I can read things of my use on mobile so I can give better career advice or sit with a laptop and do edits and proofing. Work from home need self-dedication; there is nobody to ask you to finish a task faster. For me, disciplined working is a compulsion and I am adopted to it. I am fully respon...
