The Cambrian Explosion (Day Four)

Day 4: The Cambrian Explosion

The Cambrian is a major division of the geologic timescale that happened about a million years ago.  During this time, roughly fifty separate major groups of organisms or "phyla" emerged suddenly, in most cases without evident precursors. Fish with legs, lizards with one wing, organisms who feed through their arse.  This time of hypercreation where survival of the fittest was in full range is called the Cambrian explosion.

Nowadays, we live through that Cambrian explosion again in cyberspace, we call it Mashups.  My RSS reader is daily filled with 100+ articles about new ventures: some interesting, some outdated before they begin, some have spend a lot of time reinventing something that exists already, some are just lost efforts looking for the bigger fool to get their money back.  My average of interesting items per day is 3, but lately this has gone up to 8%.  A whopping 5% increase in the holidays!!

Let me tell you what I found interesting today for Pajamanation homeworkers: www.asksunday.com (a personal assistant but only for the States, this can be replicated by our team of 60 countries); the new wikiscanner (to know who keeps on deleting our stuff about PajamaNation on wikipedia ☺; www.pikipimp.com (to pimp photographs); www.webresizer.com(to adapt our pictures on the web before we send them to a social network); www.peopletrusted.com (these guys are specializing on trust, which we might need) and www.emurse.com (a resume maker).  For my own pleasure I also downloaded http://www.ted.nu (TV series downloader) and www.vconvert.net (easy converter of youtube to any format).

I promised you today to tell you how we are going to make money by being totally FREE.  Suppose we reach millions of free visitors, (that is the idea), in that case, we are going to make money by dealmaking.  We are going to select the best services in the world for our visitors to improve the quality of their life and to professionalize their home services.  We will partner up with these new services and slipstream them in our package for free as tryvertising.  They will try it out and when they like it, they will buy it and we will get a commission (CPA).  At this moment we are finalizing contracts with five of these partners: www.lulu.com, www.bitwine.com, www.worldlawdirect.com, www.globalpaynet.com and www.spongecell.com.  In our contracts it is stated that we want cross-fertilization of our contacts, so that we get new streams of visitors to our site and vice versa.  I invite Yosi to write a blog about this, since he is our dealmaker.

But how on earth are we going to get millions of visitors in the first place?  That is the subject of tomorrow's blog.

I would like to thank Andy for his great invited blog.  And as in a mysterious web of correspondences, Chanterria send me the following link today (how to make money while blogging) http://erevenueselect.com/freestepstepprofitablebloggingcourse

So, tomorrow, the big answer.  Stay tuned.
