I want a sexy Creative Vado, do you?

Posted on by

Do you fancy having a free Creative Vado? Vado is a budget camcorder from Creative, hopefully with these affordable camcorders around, our lives can be enriched by more interesting, spontaneous and perhaps candid videos.

Well now you have a chance to be a proud owner of the Creative Vado, it will be given away as a prize for a contest sponsored by Derek Salyers of Click Consultants and Jason Pereira of The University Kid.

More information on how to participate in this contest is available on Click Consultants’ contest post as well as The University Kid’s contest post.

If you plan to join in the fun, you will have to hurry up. The contest is actually ending tonight, 28th June 2008!

How would I use the Creative Vado to help me make money online?

I think I could use Creative Vado to help me make money online by:

  1. Doing video marketing through various websites like YouTube. Having a mini camcorder that fits in my pocket will help me to capture videos whenever and wherever there is an interesting event. This will give me an edge over the other bloggers. It will be a great source of traffic for my blogs and websites and traffic usually equals to money.
  2. Doing vlog or video blog posts. The MMO niche may be quite saturated at this moment, but I think there is still market to be explored, I am referring to the Asian market. Doing vlog will help establish myself in the MMO niche and create a rapport with my readers, just imagine a blogger of Asian descent speaking in imperfect English, trying to dominate the Asian MMO market!
  3. Selling video services on forums. This service is not limited to capturing myself reading some scripts or presenting some copy, I could possibly capture any scenarios instantly, as described by my clients. Who knows, I could even turn out to be a pseudo director one day, I just have to maintain the quality of my videos and with appropriate budgets, I could even hire some makeshift actors and actresses to do a mini commercial or something. This will certainly be a good source of online income which is not really well explored by anyone yet.
  4. Enabling me to explore wider niches. With a mini camcorder, I could be a more convincing blogger in certain niches like self-help, health, social, education and so on. Unlike video tutorials regarding computer programs, I could do video tutorials on how to train pets, how to build your own wardrobe and other useful DIY projects. How does a private video only online newspaper sounds?
  5. Creating a product to be sold on the internet. This is a rather far-fetched ambition, but there’s just so many things I could do with a Creative Vado. I could create MRR or PLR products, the camcorder can be used to record a motivation talk, a bootcamp, or simple interviews with distinguished successful individuals, then repackaged and sold. A good affiliate program would also help in the sales of these products.
  6. Earning money from pay-per-view offers from video sharing sites such as MetaCafe. This is probably the least ambitious items of all, I am pushing other people’s projects instead of my own. However I would be content to earn some decent money from this method, at least until my own products gain their big breaks.

That’s about all I could think off to make money online using the Creative Vado. If I were to win, I would also like to use the mini camcorder to capture the happy and sad moments together with my friends and family, yes that would be great! Good luck to all the contestants, and thank you to Derek Salyers and Jason Pereira for their genorosity :)

Life is Colourful 1st Anniversary Contest

Posted on by
Reply

Life is Colourful is essentially a make money online (MMO) blog but there are various topics unrelated to making money online. There are posts about life, health, travel, shopping and even sports. I think it can more accurately be described as a personal make money online blog with blog posts relevant to MMO and its owner’s life experience and interests. I am very much attracted to the blog layout, it is clean (YAY, I like white!) and all the elements are well-arranged. However I think there are actually too many advertisements on display currently, that’s my only complain so far.

There’s really nothing else to complain about, especially not when Life is Colourful is running a contest with over $3000 in cash and prizes to be won. Without further ado, here I present the prize list of the contest:

Free 3G iPhone from Upstart Blogger

Ashley Morgan of Upstart Blogger is giving away a 3G iPhone for its June contest. With the tag line “Successful Blogging Made Simple”, jazz trumpet player Ashley Morgan plans to help bloggers in their quest for success, i.e. making money online, achieving fame and publicity or just getting a sizeable number of readers through Upstart Blogger.

Apparently, besides giving out great prizes almost every month and free WordPress themes for download, Upstart Blogger is a great blog to read, there are content about making money online, online traffic, web hosting, blogging software and affiliate marketing.

Upstart Blogger also has a most special blog design and layout. It does not look like any other blogs, its design is unique but not excessively out of place. I am certainly attracted to its design, Upstart Blogger really walks its talk about the importance of having a good blog design to attract visitors.

If at the end of this review, you are still not tempted to visit Upstart Blogger, I wonder if you would change your mind if I were to mention that Ashley is also sort of a philanthropist? Many bloggers nowadays are focused on making money and don’t care about anything else. Ashley is totally different, he does not hide the fact that he wants to make money online, yet he also tries his best to help those in need. So if you are considering signing up for web hosting, please visit Upstart Blogger, you will be able to get some very good deals (discount coupon, free domains, free hosting for a few months, etc.) and possibly help those in need. Hope you find Upstart Blogger interesting :)
