During competitions, everyone seems to get a great deal bar the people who put up prizes. I’m determined to look after my skydive competition sponsors and make sure they get their fair share of credit throughout the month for putting up prizes. They’ll also be getting their logo on the t-shirt i’ll be wearing for the skydive. Here’s a brief guide on who’s who;
Collin Lahay
Collin is an 18 year old e-marketing whiz kid who carves out a living for himself online. Profit wise, he takes in over $2k per month consistently which is a nice chunk of change for anyone still in college working part time
He’s took part in the Top Affiliate Challenge and the 700+ RSS subscribers he has shows you the content he puts out isn’t just rehashed stuff - it’s quality.
Mark Walsh
Walsho and I go back a good bit… in fact, i’m not quite sure how we met, but i’m pretty sure it was because of our blogs. Although you won’t see him working online much these days, when he is online, he knows a thing or two about flipping sites and making some cash and he’s also an excellent writer… producing several successful ebooks and making it in to one of Ireland’s national broadsheet newspapers
Estibot
Anyone who reads this blog will know i’m a big fan of estibot. It’s free, it’s accurate and it’s a great tool to have bookmarked. If you’re in any way involved in buying / selling / valuing domain names, estibot is your best friend.
Brian Gardner
Anyone who buys wordpress themes will have heard of Brian. Anyone who WANTS to buy wordpress themes will also hear of Brian
This guy is the man responsible for producing the ‘revolution’ themes which are generally regarded as THE hottest themes out there at the minute. There are some free themes on Brian’s site, but check out the paid ones and you’ll see the difference. Works of art if i say so myself
Jon Lee
jonlee.ca is a personal tech blog focusing on tech stuff
Definitely worth a read with articles like how to build a quad core PC for under $500 and in depth reviews… if any of you ever wanted to know about a nokia n800 - check out jon’s blog - you won’t be disappointed
The University Kid
I’ve been following jason’s progress from day one on TheUniversityKid. One thing that seperates him from other bloggers is the fact he makes his readers work
Putting up a password protected post was genius and i know it netted him at least a couple of hundred RSS subscribers. I know i subscribed to his RSS feed for something similar a good while back. The fact i haven’t unsubscribed since isn’t because i’m lazy, it’s because i always pick up something new from his posts. In terms of transparancy, TUK is about as open and honest as they come… you may have to ‘work’ a little though to get the information
The Net Fool
Jim of TheNetFool is another college student, another teenager, and another successful make money onliner
Jim also has some pretty useful articles on there like ‘bum marketing‘ and ‘creating an effective link bait post‘. Another blog i’m subscribed to
Site Flip Guide
SiteFlipGuide is an ebook produced by Mark Walsh (see above)… i got a free review copy and Mark also gave me a few copies to give away as prizes and this ebook is definitely worth a read. It’s $10 to buy, but it’s a bargain at that, particularly if you’re new to this business.
Ebook-Rich
This ebook, titled “work smart, get rich” was produced by Jim of TheNetFool.com. In it, Jim explains how he made $16,000 in one month. Who wouldn’t want to read about that?! ![]()
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
