I found this advertise from Apple. The short-film is featuring these people (from beginning to end):
Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, John Lennon, R. Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson (with Kermit the Frog), Frank Lloyd Wright and Pablo Picasso.

It’s honestly the best advertising movie I’ve seen in many years.

Check it out!

Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
-are the ones who do.

Think Different

Vivendi will pay 1,7 million dollars and will then join Activision to create a game-industry that can compete with Electronic Arts. Vivendi will because of this own 68% of the new company created.

Vivendis most known studio is the Blizzard studio which have created (among with some other smaller games) Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo. The latest release is the MMORPG World of warcraft which was a great success.

Activision has focused on the console-market and created successes such as Tony Hawk skateboarding, Call of Duty and Guitar Hero. If you count together the two companies that are now called Activision Blizzard would have a total turnover of 3,7 billion dollars which makes them bigger than Electronic Arts with about 3 billion dollars.

Electronic Arts biggest market is the third-party development which means that companies produces games and Electronic Arts then releases them. Fifa, Need for Speed and the Sims are all results of this.

Most games of EA are created so a new version of them can be released every year. Examples of this are NHL, Fifa, Madden and Need for speed, which creates a steady income for the company.  Activision uses a similar technique but is seemed as a more open company. A result of this was the risky product “Guitar Hero” which then became very successful.

 Johns blog made about $350 dollars his first month. This month, November 2007, he managed to earn $23450. That’s insane!

He tells us that November is traditionally the best month of making money on the internet. He made about $13000 on private ad sales, $6600 on Affiliate commisions, $4400 on ReviewMe, which I posted earlier about, $2000 from Text-link-ads, which I also posted earlier about. He had about 185 000 unique visitors and his eCPM is crazy.. He makes $84.19 eCPM. $80 for each 1000 pages.. If I made 1/100 of that I would be glad!

He tells us that the key is not to stand still and always try to optimize to get the best revenue.. And I guess I should follow as well to get the same revenue.

Btw.. He don’t get any referers from google since he’s banned from the search engine.. Try achieving an income of $27000 per month without google-referers.. Good luck, have fun

There are plenty of methods to earn money from a blog, which is making the whole selection like a jungle. The most common version for bigger blogs is to use multiple revenue sources instead of using just one which makes it pretty risky.

To make money from a blog today is very easy comparing to what it has been. All you have to do is write quality content and the income will pretty much come of itself. Here I will give you about 10 areas you can choose as income stream for your own blog.

Sources from income – What can I choose from?

Advertising programs (Contextual ads) – This is the most common and the most simple way of earning cash. The contextual ads will bring you targeted ads which makes the visitor more attracted to the ads and therefore it will lead to more clicks/leads. The most common contextual ad is the Google Adsense program. Another famous contextual ad program is the Yahoo! Publisher Network and the MSN Adcenter. The latter is one program which has great visions since Microsoft bought a piece of facebook, giving them plenty of advertising spaces.

Affiliate Programs – Affiliates are one of the eldest methods of advertising but it can still be very efficient. This will most likely require a little more effort from your side but could bring lot’s of cash if it’s successfully implemented. When having affiliate links you let the visitors see products in the area about your blog which will make them curious and maybe get them to buy the product(s). Popular affiliate programs are Commision Junction, Clickbank and Amazon.

Digital products – Selling digital products such as e-books and courses are not the most common revenue streams for blog but a very good one if your blog has good reputation. This is not the most recommended solution for smaller blogs who doesn’t have the best reputation.

Donations – This stream is only to recommend if you’re in a niche which gives you the possibilities and it’s not the most ethical choice if you’re having a commercial blog and tricking the people that their donations will be for freeing Willy. When giving people the ability to donate they most likely believe that their money only will be used for better causes, but there’s nothing wrong in having a donation button if the visitors knows where the donation will be targeted at.

RSS advertising – This method is by far the newest in this list. There are not many blogs that makes great money from it but it can be a complement for everyone. This advertising system has been growing during the last year(s) and will be to count with in the future.

Paid posts - During the SEO hype it has opened up a new area of advertisement. Paid posts is a new, profitable way of earning money. Other webmaster around the world buy a post in your blog which will give them a targeted backlink and visitors to their own site/blog/store. This method is used for them to increase their SERPS which then attracts more visitors to their own site. Reviewme.com and payperpost.com are two common places for paid posts. Reviewme pays at least $5 for each blog-post which most commonly is 300 words and has to be unique.

Comments and suggestions?

There are plenty of ways to earn some money through internet. Some people are proffesional gamers, but that’s a pretty rare. They earn their money from sponsors and by winning tournaments both online and offline.

It do exists an easier way of earning some money by simply doing the things you like. If you blog, you can earn some money on that, and if you do, you probably will increase your morale of blogging which will make your blog even more successful and more valued. There are plenty of methods for bloggers to make cash. One is to use google adsense although that requires that you have pretty much traffic to give any results.

A couple of other examples of earning some money would be text-link-ads.com. There you can, if you have wordpress, join a sweet network that automaticly makes all your blogposts available for advertising and customers can search for a specific words, lets say “monetizing your website”, and they would probably find my post there.

Another cashbringer could be a network such as reviewme.com which offers reviews for some cash. You can post a 200 words review on your blog and they will pay you about $5 for it. Pretty easy money but kind of boring.

If you are running a forum or some kind of discussion board, you probably don’t like these tips. adsense works pretty bad in general because you have such a low CTR. If I had a big forum I’d probably go for a CPM ad, which pays you by thousends of impressions, since a forum has pretty many impressions but not that many clicks.

Or you can.. Just go to any casino site and hit the jackpot.. Good luck

Even after my post on the Internet Marketing industry, you still want to be millionaire internet marketer, be sure you do these few things right and never make the next few mistakes. Firstly, to be an internet marketer you must be able to write a good copy, if not learn copywriting today, now, right this moment. The fact is that unless you have a copy, you will not be able convince your readers that your products is far more superior compared with the rest in market.

Next design your landing page for conversion. That’s to say that the next click by your reader will probably be the buy button or add to cart button. There is really no point in having tons of traffic or email subscribers if you are not able to convert it to sales. So write a good copy, wrap it nicely in a beautiful designed landing page.

Finally, make it easy to order and pay for the purchases. Once you done all the previous steps, the last item to note is to make sure that you make it really really simple for the readers to buy your items. Make the buy/add to cart/checkout buttons visible, so that the readers can see it instantly, and proceed to checkout.

With all that said, be sure you dun make these mistakes.

1. Fail to encode your affiliates urls/links. You want to appear to your readers as someone respectable and not someone with a website filled with affiliates links. So you should always encode all your affiliates links.
2. Fail to automate your delivery of purchases. Once your readers buy something from you, most will expect it to be delivered instantly, especially for e-books. So make it happen. These days, there’s plenty of software to automate the delivery of e-content. Personally, I like Ejunkie quite a lot.
3. Fail to follow-up constantly. To be a successful internet marketer, if you can’t follow-up closely on your subscribers, you are bound to fail. It is not easy to get a subscriber, so give them quality products and constantly follow-up.
4. Fail to do your homework. Unless you are just reselling other’s products, you need to do your homework first before you launched your own items. People are getting smarter everyday, reading more. So charm them with your knowledge.

If you did all the above steps, you should be off to a good start, but even with these, there’s no grantee of success at internet marketing. Like most things, you need practice, practice and more practice. (maybe sometime in the future, I will tell you more.)

Before you jump onto the Internet Marketing arena, please read these posts - Internet Marketing in the Public Eye; Part 1 & Part 2. I believe these posts provide a honest opinon on the whole internet marketing industry.

To break it down into small pieces, this is Internet Marketing for you.

1. Everyone claims to be Guru or discover a secret ‘Get Rich’ formula. Most internet marketers claim to be Master/Guru in Affiliates Sales or Make Money from Online Ads (E.g Google Adsense, etc) Or they will be the directly opposite, E.g. common people who made millions from these programs and want to share their secrets with you. (Cmon!)
2. Congrats! You Won! Or You Get Something FREE! This is the second thing you can expect, you won something, just key in your email and you can download your free e-book now. Or you get to buy something at a discount price, for a limited time only.
3. You can certainly find Email Subscription Box (email, name). Next they will try to get you to subscribe to their free newsletter or discount with this email subscription box.
4. Sometimes you get to see a display Box, Books or CDs. Then some internet marketers will have a nicely done up display box with books and cds in their websites, etc. This way you will think that these are the actual items you are getting.
5. An Unbelievable / Unresistible Offer. Finally you will get a unresistible offer being offered to you, maybe something like for a limited time period only, you get item a, item b, item c … to z for a one time cost of only $99.
6. Expect to see ClickBank. Most internet marketers will use clickbank to promote their products or get affiliates to sell their products.

No matter where you go, if someone claims to be a internet marketer, you will definitely one or two of these items in their websites. The next question you might ask is why are these a norm?

Here’s why.

1. Internet marketers make their money from their email lists. Most internet marketers will work on their email subscribers, and to try to get them to buy from them. Most of these follow-up are taken care by email marketing software already, they just setup the email list, fill it in with the right copy. And blast!
2. You are almost certainly to get an e-book. Shipping worldwide can be costly, so e-book is the best way to deliver to everyone, anywhere and at zero cost. Plus the cost of production of an e-book is zero, and you can always reproduce it.

So when you look at it, the potential to make good $$$ from it is very good. Consider this, you have 200 email subscribers and any email blast you do, 3% convert to sales, that’s about 6 person. And if your item cost $99 each. You made $594 already for doing nothing but sending out emails! Most of the time, internet marketers will work on their email lists again and again and again.. Lol.. so everyone is a millionaire internet marketer!

But here’s something that no one will ever tell you!

More and more people no longer fall for these ‘Get Rich’ secrets ‘ideas’. People reading up more from respectable websites on how to make $$$ online. So now… the question remain is Who else wants to be an Internet Markerter?
