April 2008

The internet is a great place but the potential for it to suck time out of your life is simply amazing.

My inability to focus on any one task for longer than 30 minutes has lost me a lot of money!

It’s said that with great power comes great responsibility. Those who learn to master their own internet usage habits probably have a better and more productive life, and the ones looking to use internet for business no doubt are on their way to becoming millionaires if they aren’t already.

With the internet, if you’re willing to work hard enough and learn enough, you’re still basically guaranteed to become a millionaire. I’m not just saying that. If English-as-a-4th-language Indians can become millionaires (and there’s many!) noone, including myself, has a reason not too.

I don’t have the ability to crap on about so many nonsense topics as some of them but I know how to do it.. Why don’t I?

In fact I know of several basically guaranteed ways to become a rich man, online and offline. I don’t know why this knowledge hasn’t translated into more action, but I’m getting there!

If I wanted to I could now solely live off my online income. Sure, it would mean a cut in lifestyle but I would still be making more money than a few people that I know. How cool is that?

The problem is that it can all come crashing down at some point and it’s completely unpredictable. That’s why I’m keeping my job thank-you very much. In October last year it came crashing down and now I’m building it up again

Back on the theme of websites.

I used to take the philosophy with websites that cheaper is better.

But in the past few weeks I have come to realize that it’s much better to invest in a top quality design. The best designers charge more but the visual quality of their work is so much better!

352 media is a Los Angeles web design company and they take their stuff extremely seriously.

Often, web design companies give themselves away by having very poor sites. Not these guys, they have a beautifully designed site and have worked for some very big clients. Ever heard of American Express? Yeh, that’s the level we’re talking about here.

No doubt you’d be paying a little extra for a website made by them but if you’re serious about launching your business into the top spheres of the internet, it doesn’t happen by accident. Use a company like 352 media for a slick, fully professional site.

I have no doubt that you have all heard of Youtube.

One of the biggest stars of Youtube, that you may not have heard of, is sxephil.

Most of his videos have more than 200,000 views within days of them being uploaded. While his videos have a reasonably professional edge to them in the opening montage, it’s really just him sitting in his office talking at a camera. He’s a pretty funny guy with a spark that makes him so much more entertaining than most YouTubers.

And he seems to make quite a bit of money in the process. Occasionally he puts up a video promoting some video game and no doubt he gets paid a fair whack of money to do so.

Anyway, here’s his channel location:
