Conventions You Have Attended: MegaCon, DragonCon, Conjure, Fanboy Expo, Tampa Comic Con, Spooky Empire. 

 How does it feel to be one of the leading ladies in cosplay of Hispanic Heritage? It feels great to be Hispanic and to accomplish so much in so short time. I feel that Im showing to all our women out there that what ever you decided to do in your life, never give up, as long as it is for good. You should work for it and always give 100% no less than that and that goes for all the male Cosplayers too. 

 What advice would you give other Latinas who are looking into getting in the hobby? Have fun, be creative, use all your imagination and you will be able to accomplish big things if you dont give up.

 Do you have any costumes you are currently working on?Jun The Swan

Name: Evil Queen Jacky
Ethnicity: Cuban American 

Costumes: Regina the Evil Queen from Once Upon aATime, Various Disney Princesses, Various Once Upon a Time characters, Marvel characters, DC characters, Silver Screen actresses, video game characters, TV characters, Horror, Terminator and Sci-Fi, Tomb Raider, Lisa from Weird Science and many more to come.

 Conventions: Megacon, Wizard World (various), Spooky Empire, Awesomecon, Nekocon, Baltimore Comic-Con, Supercon and many small local cons. 

Favorite cosplay: Regina the Evil Queen (Once Upon a Time) 

Have you ever felt reluctant to costume a certain character because of your ethnicity?Not really, Ive always been pretty confident in the characters I cosplay. Ive always seen cosplay as something you do for fun, for yourself, so who you choose to cosplay is entirely up to your comfort zone. 

 What words of advice would you give other Hispanic Cosplayers when it comes to costume choices and possibly facing racism on the internet or convention circuit? Ive fortunately never experienced any racism in the cosplay community, and for that I am grateful. However, I have been discriminated against in other ways not associated to my latin heritage and the only advice I have for that is a bit straight forward and blunt - Grow tougher skin! People will ALWAYS try to bring you down, whether its race, culture, religion, weight, age, life choices, the list goes on and on. The moment you start caring about what others think and/or say, is the moment youve willingly placed your life and happiness in others hands. Take charge of YOUR life! 

Do you have a favorite character of Hispanic Descent?I absolutely LOVE Pedro Sanchez from Napoleon Dynamite! Yes, I know its incredibly cliche, but not only is it one of my favorite movies, but he is definitely my favorite Latin character. Vote for Pedro!

Name: Tiffany Cruz aka Sky

Ethnicity: Puerto Rican 

Social Media: Facebook - Sky Cosplay 
Instagram: @Sky_Cosplay

Costumes: Batwoman, Catwoman, Kitana, Esmeralda , Miss Harley Quinn, Rainbow, Dash Pikachu. 

Conventions: Zenkaikon, The Greater Philadelphia Comic-Con,  J1-Con, Wizard World Philadelphia, Monster Mania, Retro Con, New York Comic Con and Steampunk Worlds Fair. 

What are your thoughts on how Latinas are protrayed in media (movies, comics, cartoons and television)?  My thoughts are I think we need more of them. I think its great, because it shows the art, the beauty, and the love for the characters.

 Would you personally like to see more Hispanic characters in media?  Yes, I will you love to see more Hispanic characters! Its about time we see more of them. It would show the culture some spotlight. I mean we already characters like Bane, Blue Beetle (Jamie Reyes), Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner), The Question (Renee Montoya), and more. But it will be nice to see one as the main person in their own story. 

What would you say was your best convention experience? Best convention experience was going to New York Comic-Con for the first time with my boyfriend. I knew this con was big, but I wasnt ready for how epic it was. I mean it took us 10 minutes to get past the doors because people just kept asking for our pictures. It was my first time doing Harley Quinn and my boyfriend was the Joker, everyone loved our costumes. Nothing cant beat that, because it was the first time me and my boyfriend cosplayed together. And now that all we do, going to conventions together, and never growing up.

 Ethnicity: Puerto Rican & Sicilian

 Costumes: Baroness (Hail Cobra!), Imperial Officer (Hail the Empire!), Ezio (Assassins Creed 2), Garrett (Thief), Elizabeth (Bioshock Infinite), Snow White, and a few others Im sure I am missing.

Conventions You Have Attended: SDCC, Comikaze, Wizard World, BigWow, Wondercon and a few others.

 Have you personally seen the hobby of costuming grow within the Hispanic Community? Absolutely! The diversity is a wonderful change. It is so great to see many more from the community getting into cosplay.

 Do you find yourself more drawn to characters of Hispanic descent to costume or is it irrelevant what nationality the character is? To me it is pretty irrelevant. I tend to just cosplay characters I love and have a connection to regardless of their race. 

 Would you personally like to see more Hispanic characters in comic books and sci-fi? I would love to see more in all genres of geek culture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name: Han Pan
 Ethnicity: Mixed, but mostly Puerto Rican

Costumes: Lots of Harley Quinn from Batman, the Wasp from the Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes, Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, Sailor Moon, Dagger from Final Fantasy IX, Oerba dia Vanille from Final Fantasy XIII, and more.

 Social Media Accounts: http://www.facebook.com/hanpanthecosplayer My new Facebook page!

 Conventions You Have Attended: I routinely attend MAGfest, Katsucon, Awesomecon, Baltimore Comic Con, and AnimeUSA.

We have been friends for several years and I recall people referring to you as white girl". They are obviously oblivious to the fact that Hispanics come in many beautiful colors. How does that make you feel to be referred to that way? What is their reaction when you inform people that you are Puerto Rican? Shock. In some cases, shock and horror. At one point in my life, I very vividly recall having a legitimate argument with a girl who insisted there was no way in hell I was Hispanic and that I was an awful person and a liar for saying that I was. I also have a lot of people who are confused that I dont speak Spanish, and I have to explain to them what being Hispanic in a small town in the 50s does to an immigrant. My father speaks very little Spanish, but it was all learned in secret; his father would have been livid had he found out. 

What are your thoughts on how Hispanics in general are represented in the media? For the most part I find it degrading. There are few out there in popular media to begin with, and they tend to be portrayed poorly. Gang members, morons, unable to communicate, unable to work, illegal, etc. Its frustrating. Unless you look at Telemundo or the few Hispanic pop culture figures (Gabriel Iglesias, J.Lo to some extent, Matt Peña...I asked my movie/actor buff boyfriend and he spent five minutes to come up with two) who are generally portrayed positively, there really isnt much out there. But Hispanics are some of the hardest working people I know as a whole, and their dedication to their family and to their work is unparalleled. Im extremely proud to call myself Latina.

Make Money With Affiliate Marketing

If you have good number of visitors in your blog, forum, social media or any other online platform, then affiliate marketing will be the best option for you to earn online. Now a day’s affiliate marketing is one of the best income sources of bloggers. This article will provide you a guideline how you can become a successful affiliate marketer.   

What is affiliate marketing?

In a simple sentence you will sell products or services of other person and by doing this you will get commission. The rate is usually between 20-50%. The more you sell the more you earn. You can sell multiple products at a time. You will earn only when someone buy those products through your link.  

How to start: 

There are many affiliate marketing websites such as Clickbank, Amazone associates, E-junkie, Affiliate Future  which creates a connection between you and the product owner. All you have to do is to just create an account in any of these websites. Creating account is easy and free. After that the most important thing comes which is choosing the product that you wish to sell. You will get a link of the product which you will show in your website. Next part of the article will give you the tips of selling more products. 

How to sell:

To be a successful affiliate marketer you may apply following strategy.

• 1.     First understand what type of products or services your visitors need. For example you run a website which gives the ideas of making money. So if you try to sell bodybuilding products through this website this will not be effective. Sell eBooks which gives the tutorial of money making.
• 
  
• 2.     Choose product wisely. Sell those products by which your visitors can be satisfied after buying the product. You must gain the trust of readers.
• 
  
• 3.     Create new technique to sell more but don’t try to cheat.
• 
  
• 4.     Let your readers know the benefits of the product and tell them how it can make their life easy.
• 
  
• 5.     Promote the products in your blog, social media. Make awesome video to tell the services of the product.
• 
  
• 6.     Try to get more visitors and remain contact with your current visitors so that they don’t leave you.       
• 
  

Don’t make these mistakes:

False claims: Don’t give false information about the products or service to increase sell. It may increase your sell at first but in the long run you will lose the trust of your visitors. Tell them why the service looks awesome to you and by buying it what service will they get? So don’t try to cheat and be honest and success will run after you.

Not comparing with others: Suppose you want to sell a product but there are many similar products like that which give same service. So readers get confused which one is to buy. If you compare two or three products and tell them why this one is better than others then it will be helpful to reader to take decision.

Don’t know the source: Another mistake that beginners do is that they do not want to know from where (webpage) the sell came from. Know which page is giving you the best sell and emphasize on it.

Joining many sites: Don’t join many affiliate programs at first. At the same time don’t try to sell many products at once. Choose wisely the product and start promoting them in an effective way.

Step #1  Sign up for a new Gmail account. Its best to try and obtain a name that will pertain to your brand. If you make and/or promote funny videos then try and find a name like " my( your brand name)funnyvideos at gmail.com.

Step #2  Sign up for Adsense. Its free, but it may take a few days to get approved. You need to use a Gmail address for this but it can be your personal Gmail. Its best to use a Gmail address NOT attached to any brand name because you only get ONE Adsense account for life. However, you will probably and eventually have several different brand Gmails for different niches.

Step #3  Sign up for a Youtube account with your new Gmail address. Once again, try to pick a Youtube channel user name that will compliment your Gmail name and brand.

Step #4  You have mail...You have been approved for Adsense!! Now its time to run over to Youtube with your newly coveted Adsense ID#. A 16 digit account number that you will plug into every Adsense site you have. Go to Youtube  account settings and click on the Monetization tab. This is where you will find the area to add your Adsense ID#.

*IMPORTANT TIP*  Never click on your own ads!!!! Google is smart and will find out. The consequence is being banned for life from Adsense!! This is NOT your goal. If you need to edit your video, click on the Video Manager link and edit from there. You can also edit comments under the Comments link while in the Video Manager.

Step #5  Upload your video. After you fill out some "Basic Info" on your video, click the tab next to that which is the "Monetization" button. Check the box "Monetize My Video". Next, look below and check the top two "Ad Formats". Overlay in-video ads (Overlay in-video ads are transparent overlay ads that appear on the lower portion of your video.) and TrueView in-stream ads (TrueView in-stream are a family of formats that give viewers choice and control over which advertisers messages they want to see and when.) boxes. At the bottom of that page check the box that lets your video be shown everywhere like laptops,computers,tablets and smart phones. Also check the box below that only shows your video on monetized platforms. No need in showing your video for free.

Thats it. You are now on your way to making Adsense revenue with your Youtube videos. Other posts will discuss networking on social sites and more ways to make money with your new Adsense account.

Woman dies after being trapped in elevator for a month

A womans corpse was discovered in an elevator in the Chinese city of Xian which has led to the detention of an elevator maintenance crew who improperly cut off power to the elevator a month ago without checking if anyone was inside or not.

In a statement posted Saturday, the Gaoling district government said two maintenance workers turned off the power source on Jan. 30 to the elevator in a residential building after they were called to check on a glitch without making sure it was empty first.

When they returned a month later, on March 1, for repairs, they found a female corpse there, the government said.

The woman was identified as a 43-year-old resident who was living by herself. Police ruled out any foul play but concluded her death was caused by the gross negligence on the part of the maintenance crew in a case of involuntary manslaughter, the government said.
