UBD turns 1. Birthday Contest!

admin — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:23:30 +0000

The guys over at Unique Blog Designs are running a competition to celebrate their 1-year anniversary. The creators of the great free theme I use on this blog, UBD Money Maker, have worked with many big names in the blogging scene. With over 200 clients and some very high quality paid and free themes they’re clearly doing something right. Perhaps once I actually start making money I’ll treat myself to a custom theme!

The UBD 1-Year Anniversary Contest is offering an iPod Touch 8GB and a free copy of their new UBD Citrus WordPress theme to one lucky winner. Three runners up will also win a copy of the new UBD Citrus theme.

The contest runs until the 31st August and entry is simple. Either write a blog post (like this one!) and link back to their blog or simply write a comment to their blog post. Winners will be chosen on the 1st Sept.

Happy birthday and thanks UBD!

Where Did August Go?

Where indeed, what an unbelievably busy month! My day job has been sticking it’s nose in where it’s really not wanted, although it’s actually quite an exciting project it’s meant allot less time than I’d hoped to spend on my websites.

But don’t think I’ve forgot about them, have been getting some great groundwork done and fleshing out my idea’s. One of my favourites is a image hosting site but not your generic script install with 0 customisation, oh no, I have grand ideas.

This is sort of part social network, part hot-or-not, part image hosting aimed at gamers. I’m pretty sceptical about the generic image hosting sites that are seen for sale too often on DP and the likes, there’s no real way to monetise them very effectively and they use vast amounts of bandwidth and disk space for the amount of revenue. I’m aiming to not only have image hosting but some social features that lets people browse and interact and actually stay on the site for longer periods of time.

So lots of background testing of various scripts and brushing up my PHP in order to modify them to my needs. Also spent ages getting all my domain names moved from various places and all parked up at sedo.com. I can’t quite believe it but I’ve got over 50 domains!

Making Money Online With An Entrepreneur Blog…

WOW, what an empty blog. Excuse the blatantly SEO’d tile, hey, we all gotta start somewhere.

If your reading this now then I hope this is the start of a beautiful friendship, may your revenue grow as my readership does. If you want an idea about who I am and my motivation then see my about page.

Today is the start of W3 Entrepreneur. A blog talking about money making on the web in all it’s formats, from adsense sites and affiliate marketing to membership sites to e-commerce and pure contents sites. Perhaps even a little bit relating to proper off line businesses, depending how well I do.

Every business needs a differentiator, what’s yours?

I’m not a internet mogul, I don’t make $40k/month from my blog, I don’t sell $750k domain names. Yea i suck. But I have the determination to make it, and this blog will show you how I’m going to do it.

The Internet, while perhaps not in a true “wild west” state like it was in the late 90’s, is still a huge opportunity for those people willing to take a chance. Are google.com and facebook.com really worth the billions they appear to be worth, personally I don’t think so. But then I’m not a billionaire so I’m not qualified to make that call.

I can however, via this blog, let you see all my success and fauilures. There’s still a huge amount of money to made online, I’ll be posting as many of my ventures as I can in this blog. Of course I may keep a few successes to myself for a while, to protect my income, but I can assure you that any successes or failures will be posted here eventually.

I truely hope you’ll join me on this exiting trip
