More techno-goodness coming soon I promise, but I realised that I had become a slug about updating the site!

So, what’s the title all about?  I was lucky enough to get an invitation to an event being run by Daniel Wagner in London last week. Not only that, but it was all kicking off fairly close to where I live, so I went along for a session in the afternoon that was being run by Mark Vurnum.

Mark’s forte is in building a huge lead-generation system which pays him on a per-site basis but which also builds a list that he uses for further monetization. So far nothing too unusual about that I hear you say.

The difference in Mark’s system is just how large it has now grown. His figures suggest a network of around 8,000 sites (yes that’s EIGHT THOUSAND!) each of which brings him an average of $5 per day before he even starts to use his list.

Now, $5 doesn’t sound like much, but every site he builds is pure increment on the existing cash flow. For me, the best thing about this all is the cost of entry. Given a hosting package of even very modest size, you should be able to get each site running for the cost of the domain, say $8. As soon as the money starts coming in, you can upgrade, outsource the work, anything you like to make it scale! The premise here is to win the race eventually by being steady, not by aiming to be a millionaire overnight.

You might be able to tell that I’m fairly excited by all this….and yes, as disclaimers go, I did sign up to Mark’s offer on the spot….having sworn to spend no money at all. I’ve only experienced this style of site building to a small degree, offering some Amazon content on a micro(micro) niche and even that has made me enough to pay for my last three month’s hosting – with no real effort on my part. I can see that a little higher ranking would hel;p that site, but that another 100 like it would be very nice indeed.

So, this is the next experiment. I will be carrying out this technique and I will be reporting back on my progress. Watch out for continuing reports.

Huh?

If that was a load of acronyms that just blew past, this is really just a post combining the last two tests I did with the Kodak Zi8. 720p is the lower HD resolution (720 pixels in height) and 60 fps is just how many frames per second the camera was capturing. Kodak pitch this as good for action.

In the spirit of that claim, the first video is a short outdoor clip of a car based on the pump-up water rocket idea. The Top Gear logo just made it more expensive!

My initial impressions of the video are pretty good clarity, hand-shake under control and if you step through it closely, you’ll see that the resolution as the car shoots off is pretty good. Shame the car itself was totally faulty and went back the next day!

In the second clip, I hauled the Zi8 back indoors and tried the classic party candles video, so beloved of a thousand doting parents every single day! I’m a lot happier with the stabilization in this clip than the one in my last post and although the Zi8 gets into the normal state with backlit exposure, I’m not unhappy with the output.

If you found these useful, then add a comment below or on YouTube and if you’d like me to try the Zi8 out in other circumstances, I’m happy to test your ideas out.
