Hi, welcome to my fresh new blog, dedicated to online entrepreneurship. I’m eager to become a very successful online entrepreneur. I’m canvassing the internet searching all the available business opportunity and carefully documenting each and every one so you can learn from my experience. I plan to be very open with my financial standings and earnings during my journey into this sometimes very dark undiscovered road. To kick things off I’m going to let you in on everything I am currently involved in. But first let me say a little about myself. I’m 18 years old and am currently in the process of graduating high school. I live in Kentucky and I’m an aspiring art student that has worked with numerous mediums. However my favorite of all the arts has been digital. I do web design, graphic design, flash animation, and flash game design.
SCG Cinema: This is my online sketch comedy site. My friends and I put together to showcase our comedic video talents. This project is very dear to me and I plan to pursue a career in film and the entertainment industry. I designed the site myself and used a pretty powerful content management system (CMS) called PHP-fusion. I am however currently upgrading to a very nice wordpress site for it. So far I’ve played with some small ad campaigns. I’ve accumulated a combined total of $4.32 with Google ads, Revver ads, and Project Wonderful ads. Google leads in profit for the site, however it is extremely small amounts so I do eventually plan to hit up local businesses to sponsor our videos and the website. Expect a full section dedicated to this business model in the future.
Pay for referrals: This is my latest venture, I just recently discovered this business model and this will be my latest project for the blog. In a nutshell people pay for your invaluable referral to sites like freebiemonster.net and other such websites that offer very high profile gifts or cash for completing trial offers and referring a certain amount of others to do the same. With sites like www.FreeLunchRoom.com you can easily find a paying gig (Mostly $20 gigs). I will complete a full scale multi post series for this business alone with the help of my mentor.
Web design/Development: Web design is one of my many creative passions. Though I haven’t been paid for many design jobs, I have more than three years of experience under my belt. I think most of the problem is I haven’t really tried advertising this as a service. As soon as I receive a gig of this nature you will be the first to know.
Flash Graphic and Game Development: This is a very exciting industry, I love games and their mechanics. I have over Five years of experience with flash animation and graphics and three years of actionscript, however I don’t consider myself a proficient coder, I do feel confident I can produce any desired result with my current ability. I sold my first game about a year ago for a total of $150! (seems like a lot, but really not for the amount of work I put in) This is actually way below the average game sponsorship deal. It takes a lot of time to develop a good game so I can’t promise a big case study for this industry, I will however cover the basic module for making money and maybe some interviews with some already successful developers.
You can see I have experience in online business. I’ll do my best to effectively portray each and every industry as accurately as possible. However I have discovered one common formula among financial success. That is, the more work you invest, the greater reward on the return. So I suggest if you are seriously considering any of these options as a career, give it everything you have. Take risks and remember the importance of pre-planning.
This has been my official introduction as a new blogger and internet entrepreneur you can contact me at MattBlethen@gmail.com or on AIM at MattBlethen
