I just signed up for Ucash.in, created by the folks behind Flixya. The idea is that you can turn links into cash, because they show ads– either with frames or intermissions– and split the revenue with you. I’d often wondered if services like TinyURL could do something like this. Take a look at Ucash.in, and sign up for free. Continue reading ‘Turn links into cash? Ucash.in Review’

Can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday I was working at my summer internship with Google. It was truly an amazing experience, and very humbling to work with such bright people. Recently, I’ve been catching myself wishing that other people were smarter. Well, it’s usually me who’s the dumb one. At the same time, I realized the potential I really did have to pull off some crucial projects. I have to be honest: working in Software Quality Assurance Engineering wasn’t a glamorous job. There were times when we simply had to yield to the developers. But having the opportunity to try new features before they hit production, and having the pride of catching a critical bug, were all incredible rushes to have on the job.

There’s a product being launched tomorrow called the Secret Classroom, which will contain DVD videos of all the presentations given at the Next Internet Millionaire. In case you haven’t heard of it yet, the Next Internet Millionaire is the world’s first Internet reality show. That means it’s a reality show created from the ground-up to be broadcast exclusively online. It’s created by Joel Comm and Eric Holmlund, two expert Internet marketers who have made millions of dollars online. Now, you can find plenty of hype about it elsewhere, but my blog is going to be 100% hype-free. Just the facts. And if you have any questions about the product, I invite you to post a comment right here on my blog. I read all of the comments posted on my blog, and if you ask a question, I’ll respond, too.

I was going to go to sleep, but this site is just too cool for me to not write about. It’s Free Rice, and it’s a simple vocabulary game. I “donated” 110 grains of rice today by playing the game. It shows you a word, and you need to select another word with an equivalent meaning, out of 4 choices. For each one you get right, they donate 10 grains of rice to hungry people. The site’s advertisers ultimately pay for the rice, and I saw names like Macy’s, iTunes, and Toshiba. However, these might be simple affiliate links as I see they redirect through linksynergy.com. I guess rice is relatively inexpensive. They have a sweet domain name– FreeRice.com– and an attractive website design, as well.
I’ve started using the Yahoo! Publisher Network again, after dropping them completely for a year. Actually, looking back on my payment history now, I actually did fairly well with them.

This is truly amazing. Yesterday, I blogged about the piano teacher who has made $3 million in the past few years, just by teaching people how to play piano by ear. Today, he released his new program to the public.

I’ve come to a new realization that if my goal is a business on the Internet, profits come first. Ads are a must, a tried-and-true business model on the web. I personally get annoyed by them, but that isn’t a problem thanks to extensions like AdBlock for Firefox. At BigSeminar X, October 2007, I met Joel Comm. I’ve been a fan for quite some time now. He’s the author of New York Times best seller, The AdSense Code. He has also created the first Internet reality show, the Next Internet Millionaire. I was very happy to find that he was just as friendly and easy to talk with as I’d thought.

I’m here at Armand Morin’s BigSeminar X, the best Internet marketing seminar. While preparing a great new product that allows me to communicate a lot of my core expertise, I had to find a service to process payments and keep track of clients. Naturally, I listened to what each speaker said. Jermaine Griggs uses 1ShoppingCart.com.
