Anyone who knows me will tell you I’m no fan of Twitter. It’s a pointless mass of white noise in my opinion.

But – if you’re the kind of sad individual who values quantity above quality – here’s a tip for you…

I play with Twitter – (only because I hate it so much, and as research for posts like this). Overnight I got 200+ new followers on one of my accounts, and they are still coming in at the rate of around ten to twenty an hour.

How? Very simple, just add the ‘big name’ Internet Marketers to your Twitter account.

If you don’t know who they are – they aren’t hard to find. You probably already have mails from the likes of Eban Pagan and Yaro Starak in your spam folder, having been ‘tempted’ into subscribing to their mailing list to download some free useless information in the past… Read the rest of this entry »

What a weird world the Internet has created. I recently came up LivePerson.com which claims to be able to connect you with exerts in, well, pretty much everything… From business, the arts, and technology through to religion and fortune telling.

To be honest the rates are pretty expensive – but I guess if you could get some problem that’s been bugging you for ages solved in a couple of minutes it might be worth a try. I haven’t used it – but if you have a burning question fire it away in the box below. And, if you, do, please come back and leave a comment I’d be really interested to know how you get on.

Have you ever wanted your own website or blog but either never got around to it or found it to be to expensive an exercise? Well, now you have no excuse not to!

Bigzeno.com are offering completely free of charge a full Wordpress installation with a choice of professionally designed themes (or you can supply your own theme if you prefer – information on where to find them is on the Bigzeno.com website).

Whether you want to set up a website to promote yourself or your business, set up an online business to make some extra cash, or simply just feel like blogging for fun – it’s a no brainer of an offer! Why not get started right away!

…or is everyone else tired of all the ‘get rich quick’ nonsense scattered about the Internet?

When you spend as much time as I do working on and trawling around the Internet you can’t help but stumble on sites – no matter how much you try to avoid them – all promising to make you rich with absolutely no effort whatsoever on your part.

I really enjoyed this parody of those types of sites.

Recently I was asked by a friend to check out whether a particular website was a scam or not…

Whilst looking into the site in question I stumbled on a link to peoplestring.com – a social networking site. Nothing new there I hear you say! Thousands have sprung up on the back of the success of MySpace, Facebook and Twitter… But this one is different – it’s free to join and they claim that they pay you to attract people to, and use the site.

The only immediately apparent catch is that you have to accept a certain amount of junk mail. Not really a problem, getting it sent to a Hotmail account or similar will minimize that inconvenience. The principle is that you get paid for recruiting new members and there’s also an ‘upgrade’ (you get a percentage of if people buy that from your links) – which entitles people who pay $200 to a larger stake in the profit share they describe, which is based on their advertising revenue (this I wonder about when Facebook and Twitter are reportedly losing money on a daily basis!).

It’s all very MLM, and seems very ’spammy’ with your ‘make money on the Internet’ sharks… But – the key thing here is it’s free! I like free! So, I’ve signed up to see if what they say is true… I’ll be back to report on if it works or not…. If you’d like to help with my ‘experiment’ click here and join….
