Advertlets & Hannah Tan happily bring you the H-FACTOR!!

You’ve probably already seen some very striking new video ads around, for none other than The H-Factor Nationwide Creative Youth Workshops. More on that in a bit…

First off…here’s some interesting pictures from the recent H-Factor press conference (or here for more pictures) at Werner’s @ Changkat Bukit Bintang.

So what’s it about? From the official H-Factor website itself: “You have the INTEREST & a POSITIVE ATTITUDE. You feel that YOU (or someone significant to you between the age of 16 – 25) may have talent in one or more of the creative content fields – whether it be in dance, music, drama, motion graphics or public speaking.

You WANT TO LEARN a tip or two from your favourite celebrities, and you want to MAKE A DIFFERENCE with whatever talent YOU have. A 1-DAY CREATIVE WORKSHOP, 8 SPEAKERS & YOU! ”

The workshop features the following celebrity speakers, well known for their prominence in various creative fields. They are: Hannah Tan, Hans Isaac, Serena C, Pietro Felix, Harith Iskandar, Reymee (Innuendo), Joey Khor, Fellest Yan & David Lai. And, this isn’t only open to those in KL (2nd Nov). It’s also going to be in Penang (12th Oct), Johor Bahru (19 Oct) & (26 Oct) Kota Kinabalu!

Advertlets is sponsoring the blog advertising and media design for this H-Factor initiative as we believe it is a great positive effort for young people to further express their creativity and explore their passions, and well in line with our brand attributes. Malaysia is a country where about 60% of the population is under 25 – and, coincedentally, this is the same group that blogs the most by demographic.Hence we aim to have this great opportunity be known to as many young people as possible. Yes, attending the workshop would make a GREAT topic to blog about, don’t you think?

And, what makes it even more special to Advertlets is that one of our Advertlets Bloggers is involved too, as a speaker no less! – Mentalist/Magician David Lai from www.davidlai.tv. Check out all the buzz he’s gotten from the media, or better still…filmed in his element, doing his thing on Youtube

Lastly, don’t wait…The workshops all happen this month (on convenient Sundays in fact), so do register at www.h-factor.info! Limited spaces are available.

A Quick Q&A on the Advertlets Titan widget…

How will I place the widget on my blog?
The widget runs rotated across the Advertlets network in our Advertlets Ad Unit and for longer/fixed durations on Partner Blogs. We are planning to release a standalone version of the code very soon for those who wish the widget to run permanently on their blog.

What kind of content will run on the widget?
The widget will mostly feature Advertlets bloggers, but will also incorporate news on Advertlets Events, post event pics, gatherings, fun happenings, contest and more. In addition, sponsors can also have their content included in the widget as well!

What are future new features planned for the widget?
Future features include the ability to show more blogs and match blogs more specifically to viewer’s interest, as well as more ways to discover relevant new blogs. It’s going to be very interesting and we are planning for a rollout of even more features in weeks.

How do I get featured? What is the criteria?
Just write to us at info@advertlets.com with the subject “I wanna get it ON!”. Tell us why you should be featured, and we will set you up to be shown to thousands (maybe millions!).

Got some interesting posts you want more of an audience for? To get an idea…maybe you and your friends are going to perform in concert, or start a workout program, or you’re representing Malaysia internationally to compete in a pageant in a foreign country, or maybe you’ve launched a very nice new “hemsem” blog layout, or are running a contest of your own, or maybe you’ve written something really funny and original, or you’ve got exclusive coverage and great pics of a recent happening, or a project to raise funds for charity…anything different and anything interesting!

Blogger applications for being featured will be processed based on relevance and interestingness of blogs submitted, quality & originality of content, as well as the duration of your Advertlets Titan membership.

How much traffic can I expect to generate if I am featured?
As this is also based on how interesting your content/headline/image is, the results can vary due to visitor interest in clicking. However, a 25% to 200% increase per day (yes, really!) is not uncommon based on our short beta test so far.

Get ON!
Apply to be an Advertlets Titan now to enjoy better earnings and increased traffic, or if you already are – write to us for a chance to get featured! info@advertlets.com We look forward to getting it ON with you and your blog

Topic:

More Information:
No one is spared from hackers these days. Not even Hongkiat, or more 400 Malaysian Bloggers, or even Paris Hilton!.

Hacking not only comes in the form of website or blog defacements, but also as spam, unwanted emails with viruses, Trojans, SQL Injections, Social Engineering just to name a few. Share with us your experience if you’ve been hacked before, or what hacking incidents you’ve heard of and how it has impacted you – in the way you use the internet and the countermeasures you adopted.

UPDATE: Thanks for your feeedback, here are some tips. Cybersecurity is a wide term, and this should make it a bit clearer on what kind of issues are involved: First off, are you using any of the Top 10 Popular Passwords
that everyone and anyone can guess? You could write on how Trojans Plaguing File
Sharing Networks will affect the way you share files ;

Or, what you think about Personal
Data Privacy ; or how impressed you are with the Types of Computer Security Threats there are (have you heard of bacterium, by the way?)…and even if
