You can trick a person into jinx by asking a simple question. For instance, if you say "What's 2 plus 2?," the other person will mostly likely say "4." In that case, you can say "4" at the same time, then immediately say "jinx" to start the game. In some variations, the person doing the jinxing can punch the jinxed person if he or she talks before the game is over. In one variation, when you say the same phrase, you can say "American jinx, touch wood" instead of just "jinx." You play the game the same way with one exception: the first person to touch a piece of wood gets to punch the other person. If you both say "jinx" at the same time, you can say "double jinx" to initiate the game. In that case, you need to say the person's full name to end the game. If it happens again when you say "double jinx," it turns into "padlock jinx," where you need to include the person's middle names to end the game.

Summary: Trick a person into jinx. Know a variation. Understand the "American jinx" variation. Try double jinx.

A hickey can be made anywhere on the body, but normally, hickeys tend to be located on either the neck or chest areas. If you decide to make your hickey on your neck, consider making the hickey on the sides of the neck. Avoid making a hickey in the center of your neck, near your throat, or the area underneath your chin. Get a large eye shadow palette that has an array of colors. The colors you need use will be a dark pink, dark purple, and dark blue. Use a small makeup brush to apply the eye shadow. Keep in mind, if you have a darker skin tone, you might need to use the darker eye shadow colors more heavily in order to have the hickey mark show up. Gently tap your makeup brush once or twice into the pink eye shadow. Stand in front of a mirror to apply the makeup. Bring the brush up to the area you're making the hickey, and rub the brush in small, - 1 inch sized ovals on your skin. Be sure you don't add too much color to the brush. You need to build up the color for the hickey slowly and gradually. Tap a corner of your makeup brush once in the purple eye shadow, and tap the shadow onto the middle area of the hickey. Lightly continue to use the whole brush to make small ovals to form the hickey. Use the brush to help blend the purple coloring out to the edges of the hickey. When in doubt, use less of the darker eye shadow colors. You can also add more, but it's harder to take off the color once it's added. Again, tap a small corner of your makeup brush into the blue eye shadow and dab it in the middle area of the hickey. Rub the brush in small ovals, blending the blue out to the edges of the hickey. Since the hickey should already be taking form when you add the blue, you don't need that much blue makeup. Consider tapping the brush on the side of your finger or the edge of a surface to knock off any excess blue shadow. Spray a thin layer of hair spray or makeup setting spray to make the hickey last longer and avoid coming off on your clothes. This fake hickey will last until you wash it off.

Summary: Choose the location for the hickey. Obtain a large eye shadow palette. Apply the pink eye shadow. Add the purple eye shadow. Add the blue eye shadow. Set the makeup.

Place your pot on a flat surface with the 3 prongs that stick out facing you. These are your terminals. The first terminal, or terminal 1, is your ground. The middle terminal, or terminal 2, is the input signal for the pot. The third terminal, or terminal 3, is your output signal. The shaft on top controls a small ring attached to the second terminal. Turning it controls how low or high the input is. If it helps, think of a potentiometer as a dimmer switch. The ground is all the way off, terminal 2 is the switch itself, and terminal 3 is the switch turned all the way up. A potentiometer is almost always used to throttle an input signal so that it can be adjusted. Sometimes, you can use a pot to overclock a device with a stronger signal. Pots are rarely used to control signals that are more than a couple of volts, but the amount of resistance that they provide is important. The higher the range, the more control you'll have over your device. The number on the front of the pot tells the highest level of resistance that the pot can achieve. So a 200K pot can provide a maximum of 200,000 ohms of resistance. 100K is the most common kind of potentiometer on the market, since it has a solid range for audio equipment. These numbers are always printed directly on to a pot. Usually, they're right next to the shaft on the opposite side of the terminals. Place your pot down on a flat surface next to your electronic device. If you know that you're going to install the pot in a particular location, start there. Turn the 3 terminals so that they're facing you. Remove any panels on your electronic device to expose the backside of any input or output ports. If you're working on a breadboard, set the pot on the upper-most set of rows with the terminals facing you. You can use any kind of soldering wire to connect the terminals to the device so long as they aren't acid-core. If you have an installation location set up, measure each length of wire from the terminal to the device. Strip any wires to expose the copper by using wire cutters. Use the notches on the cutter's blades to cut and remove 0.51in (1.32.5cm) of plastic from the tip of each wire. You'll need to solder your wires, so get your soldering iron and flux and set them out on your work surface. Acid-core soldering wire is used for plumbing. It won't work with your electronics. If you're wiring a specific kind of electronic device that uses specialized wires, go ahead and use those if the soldering wires don't work.

Summary: Identify the 3 main terminals sticking out of the middle of the pot. Read the resistance numbers printed on your pot to see what range you can achieve. Set your pot on a flat surface with the 3 terminals facing you. Measure and strip any wires that you're going to be using.

Backlinks are when another website, preferably one that gets more hits than yours, links to your page. Find websites that are in the same vein as yours and see if they'd be willing to do some cross promotion. You can also contact relevant blogs and ask about guest posting, giving you another chance to link to your site. Remember, you want these backlinks to be quality. Google can tell the difference. Do not spam comment sections trying to build backlinks for yourself. You will be docked for this behavior. Social media like and shares are rewarded more than ever these days with Google, especially with subjects that are currently relevant. This means that you should create social media accounts and try to build a base of followers who will like your pages and share them with friends. Remember: the trick is to not be spammy! Keep interacting with your customers online so that they can feel valued. Try to respond to the reviews as this would be appreciated by the customers. Retweet and repost your good reviews. Update your website regularly. Google rewards sites which see regular maintenance and updates. This means if you've been ignoring your website since 2005, you're in trouble. Find small ways to update it: new pricing, news posts every couple of months, photos from events, etc. Do some tweaking to your website in order to stay up-to-date with the latest trends. Use free online tools to keep updating your website on a regular basis.
Summary: Work to create quality backlinks. Get on the social media train. Be active in the online community.
