I’m posting for a few main reasons, and just to provide updates really:

1. I have a low ticket (around $10) product going out for sale in around 24 – 48 hours. It will not be launched on this blog (don’t worry, I’ve always said I would not constantly ram products down your throats like certain other blogs) but I do need testimonials. If interested, contact me via instant messenger – first ten people will be sent the product. You can be as mean as you like, just be honest. You have to be reasonably coherent at English though.

2. I’m looking for a talented designer. I’ve asked around for a few, and have a few available in the $50 – $100 per page range; if you’re someone that thinks s/he’s reasonably good and is willing to work, contact me via email with samples. This is for an exciting project that could do pretty well.  admin@theuniversitykid.com

3. I’m looking for high quality, personal story guest posts. Not “make money with your blog” or “how to leave an appropriate blog comment” type posts, but proper entrepreneur posts with your experiences, good or bad. “I did X and saw Y results”, stuff like that. As a lot of you know, I have exams coming up and anyways, my time on this blog has been limited with my other business activities.

4. Look out for a “make money with PLR” post or series on MMD soon. I love PLR, and I’ve been experimenting with it more and more over the last few months, with reasonable amounts of success. We’re still looking for post ideas for that blog, and we’re always looking for your input.

Thanks to all for the advice on MMD in my last post – I probably won’t be implementing donations because you guys said it would suck. Advertising… maybe.

5. I’m playing around with a few custom made scripts and programs being made… the real money is in promoting high quality, custom based projects (for whatever you’re doing). One of the ideas I had was for a chat type box.

The main idea is this – say I charge $100/hour for consultation normally. Which is reasonable, perhaps, but most newbies don’t have the ability to fork out $100 for one hour, or may find that one hour may not be enough to learn what they need to.

But… what if you could split the cost of consultation with others? You’d be splitting the time spent, of course, but you’d still be saving a lot.

So if I charged 10 people $10 for an hour of chat consultation, I’d still be making the same money. I’d also have a more people under consultation, so the conversation wouldn’t have any danger of stagnating. People (that want to learn) always learn better in a group, I’ve found. And if you’re in a group consultation, you don’t waste your time on idle chit chat that is although pleasant a waste of your money.

Of course, the chat would be available later for download, and you could even offer those that paid for consultation the rights to sell it. Another benefit.

It may work, it may fail, it’s one of the things I’m looking at though. Those that were around at the beginning of TUK may remember that I wanted to start a chat based website (similar to ILoveIM).. the idea still sort of stands, just for a different purpose.

When you have scripts, unique ideas for websites, you can develop them and offer them for sale. I’m going to look at flipping a few more “product” based websites, only with the product being a script or software instead of an eBook.

6. That’s it for now; my designer is still creating designs for tshirts and other merchandise for the offline clothing thing. More and more uni work that’s gotta be done too, sadly.

7. As with the previous of these update posts, I like to see comments; if you have a short question / query that you’d like an answer too, leave a comment below and I’ll get to you. Specific questions. Don’t ask something like “what is a blog”, but something like “what is the best way to drive traffic to my sport site XYZ.com” is a good one.

I should probably update this blog soon too, hmm…
