Remember Classhelpers? Well, I’m selling it

A few months back I started a series called Flipping Classhelpers.com. After reading a few articles on how students were selling sites on the net for pretty decent profits, I decided to start Class Helpers and see what I could do with it.
A few weeks into the project, I decided that I really liked […]

Coming…Entrepreneur Blog Network

What the hell have I been up to these past few weeks? Hmmmm… good question! I’ve been working on building the best entrepreneurship blog network on the net. Ever since I started blogging about entrepreneurism a few months back, I’ve noticed a serious void – there really wasn’t any collaborative unification of all of the […]

Classhelpers.com (part 2)

I just wanted to update you all on my progress with Classhelpers.com – my little side project. Well, I took the advice of my friend Dan Marques, and decided to build the site as a directory/blog where students can search through various sites/articles that can help them locate class-related information…and, of course, read some great […]

Cashcampus Memory Lane (part 6)

Ok and for the 10 million dollar question: “Why doesn’t cashcampus.com (original) site exist today?” The site started to gain traction, people started to signup, and I was getting some press, all was going well, and then on a hot summer day in July of 2005 the cashcampus.com url goes blank with a note “Sorry, […]

Here are a few snaps of the article, sorry that you won’t be able […]

Cashcampus Memory Lane (part 4)

Ok, so the thing that really started to get Cashcampus.com rolling was WOM (word of mouth). Yeah that’s right, the best marketing that you can ever use to spread your business is by using your own mouth.
After I stopped using the ineffective flyer marketing, I went on a word of mouth campaign. I couldn’t […]

Cashcampus Memory Lane (part 3)

Ahhh… now comes the fun part, marketing my business. After my site finally launched, over a year since development began (Jan. 2004), in February of 2005, I immediately started thinking of how I was going to spread the word. The first thing that came to my mind was flyers…lots and lots of flyers.
My reasoning behind […]

Cashcampus Memory Lane (part 2)

This is a shot of the unnecessary virtual tutoring service that I created for Cashcampus. My mind was really all over the place. I wanted to allow students to sell notes, bid on projects for research, and on top of all of that, have them tutor other students for cash – boy was this a […]

Cashcampus Memory Lane (part 1)

Ok, so do you guys and gals remember when I told you about the time when I lost 12,000 starting my first website, www.cashcampus.com? Well over the next few days I’ll be going down memory lane and showing you some aspects of how I created the currently deceased cashcampus.com (well the site is now my […]
