Just Call Me Air Homer! I mean, genius Paris....

CAVEAT: The following is illegal. Beware and do not take this post seriously!

I have come up with something you may, at first, think to be NOT ultimate, stupid, and utterly pointless. But you have no idea what my idea is.

ATTENTION ALL KIDS! YOU CAN EXECUTE THIS IDEA IN YOUR CLASSROOM, IT'S SO SIMPLE.

Let's say you want to be rich. How will you achieve this goal? I just thought up a business that costs nothing, needs nothing, makes EVERYTHING. All you need to do is ship me 300 dollars and I'll tell you. Hmm.... I'm sounding like one of my ads! Uh oh! Anyways, let's say you make this business.
Now what? You'll need some employees.



Let's say the cost to join this wonderful scheme is 100 dollars. Right there you have 200 dollars. The people who invested in the idea are allowed to recruit as many new people as they want.


Of course, there's a 25% service charge. So now for every recruit your recruits recruit (ugh) you get another 25 dollars. What happens when the chart looks something like this?


MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And there's you at the top, getting richer, and richer, and richer! If you recruit 2 people and they do the same, until it looks something like this, you'll have 800 dollars from recruiting a mere 2 people! Now imagine playing in the adult league, charging up to 1,000 dollars for recruiting rights. If this happened, you'd have an amazing 8,000 dollars!

So I ask you...

Ultimate? Yes.

Stupid? No.

Pointless? Absolutely.

AdSense Ahoy!

I am testing with a minisite called a turnkey site. It's basically a website that has a few things to do with something and a lot of ads, so it's like a library on one thing, except the resources are links and ads. It's a great and easy way to make money. They are very easy to make, seeing as some people can make up to 10 in an hour :)
Let's say your turnkey site is making a dollar a day. Not too shabby, eh? Now let's say you have a hundred of those. Bam! And the dirt is gone!

Well, I shut down my turnkey site. I found out it's illegal....

A Wise Man Once Said

I have lots of advice,but sometimes I have really good advice, but I never actually use it. But I've decided to take action on a particularly good piece of advice, the mini sites. I know that this has nothing to do with money advice, but it would be great if you could send me some recipes that you wouldn't mind having published!

So, once again, fill my inbox!

I'm a Big Businessperson Now!


Two of my friends co-own a site about... fractals. One of them who is more knowledgeable about them is 12, while the other, fluent in HTML, created the site when he was 11. Fractals are, like, complicated too. But this isn't about fractals. I was discussing with the 12-year-old about doing a business deal together, seeing as they have ads as well, so I threw an ad together and got Michael to put it on and link it. It's wonderful to have employees under your control! Anyways, I'm now earning money off of the ad. Their site has some kinks, I mean, some pixels, and it needs a lot. And they're not the best with ads, but who am I to talk?

Business deals with thirteen year old probloggers and 12 year old fractal and HTML guys, involving the site they made about fractals, which most adults don't half understand.

The times are a changing... Learn something new from a couple of 12 year olds! You've done it before with me, do it now for them.
