Building Passive Internet Income Streams

January 15th, 2009

I’ve been working for the last several months on building some passive income streams on the internet utilizing: Amazon Associate tools, ClickBank and some Multi-Leve Marketing (MLM) programs.

Some of my Amazon Associate Stores are:

apple.kylewelsh.com, books.kylewelsh.com, dvd.kkylewelsh.com, music.kylewelsh.com and techstuff.kylewelsh.com look around – all purchases are made through the main Amazon store

ClickBank is an interesting source of eBooks on almost anything ==>> cbtopsites.kylewelsh.com

My most successful program to date is Unselfish Wealth, a travel membership/club but also a great affiliate program.  I spend $50/month on this and make that back in the first week of the month by the bonuses from new sign-ups under me and the recurring commissions from their monthly membership fees. As of today, I have 146 people under me and I’m always looking for more.  Check it out and contact me with any questions – you won’t be disappointed! http://unselfishwealth.kylewelsh.com

A new one that is showing some promise is an Online Search Engine that yo can look for people – old school pals, military buddies or maybe you just met someone new and you want to check them out.  Getting the initial results are free, but you have to pay (a nominal fee) for the details – it’s also way easy to setup your own which will cost $10/month unless you already have a hosted website.  The best part is that you are guaranteed a courtesy commission of $125 – read all the details here ==>> kdubbenterprises.ws

Generating Power From Ocean Buoys and Kites

July 3rd, 2009
cheezitmike writes "Researchers at Oregon State University are testing a new type of wave-energy converter to generate electricity from ocean waves: 'Even when the ocean seems calm, swells are moving water up and down sufficiently to generate electricity. ... For decades the challenge has been to build a device that can withstand monster waves and gale-force winds, not to mention corrosive saltwater, seaweed, floating debris and curious marine mammals. ... In the most recent prototypes, a thick coil of copper wire is inside the first component, which is anchored to the seafloor. The second component is a magnet attached to a float that moves up and down freely with the waves. As the magnet is heaved by the waves, its magnetic field moves along the stationary coil of copper wire. This motion induces a current in the wire — electricity.'" Meanwhile, researchers at Stanford are working to design "turbine kites" that operate at 30,000 feet, where air currents flow much faster than they do close to the ground. Ken Caldeira, a Standford associate professor, said, "If you tapped into 1% of the power in high-altitude winds, that would be enough to continuously power all civilization."

How would you change the Palm Pre?

July 3rd, 2009

You knew it was on deck, and at long last, here it is. Your one and only shot (okay, so maybe that's a gentle stretch) to tell the world -- and Palm, since it's a part of the world -- exactly what you think about the Pre. Since going on sale to the general public just under a month ago, some analysts have suggested that some 300,000 or so units have been moved. We're quite confident that at least some of that bunch have their eyes peering at this here post, so we'd like to formally ask for your opinions in comments below. Is there anything you'd like to see changed on Palm's Pre? Is the build quality up to snuff? Is webOS everything you thought it'd be (and more)? Is the QWERTY keyboard doing it for you? Do you wish it supported something that it doesn't? Unleash your wrath below -- we'll keep your true identity a secret. Maybe.

UK Police Told To Use Wikipedia When Preparing For Court

July 3rd, 2009
Half-pint HAL tips news of UK prosecution lawyers who are instructing police to study information on Wikipedia when preparing to give expert testimony in court. "Mike Finn, a weaponry specialist and expert witness in more than 100 cases, told industry magazine Police Review: 'There was one case in a Midlands force where police officers asked me to write a report about a martial art weapon. The material they gave me had been printed out from Wikipedia. The officer in charge told me he was advised by the CPS to use the website to find out about the weapon and he was about to present it in court. I looked at the information and some of it had substance and some of it was completely made up.' Mr. Finn, a former Metropolitan Police and City of London officer and Home Office adviser, added that he has heard of at least three other cases where officers from around the country have been advised by the CPS to look up evidence on Wikipedia."

Captain Piccard unveils Solar Impulse HB-SIA solar-powered plane

July 3rd, 2009

You might have seen solar-powered planes before, but few of them come with as much world-changing ambition as the Solar Impulse. Launched in 2003, the project aims to demonstrate the viability of renewable energy sources by being the first to perform a manned flight around the globe using only solar power. The technology is nothing to scoff at, as the 200-feet wingspan features 12,000 photovoltaic solar cells bringing power to four electric motors. Captain Bertrand Piccard, one of the key men behind this project, is best known as one half of the first team to circumnavigate the world in a balloon in 1999. He hopes, together with partner André Borschberg, to repeat that achievement in Solar Impulse's next iteration, the HB-SIB, in 2012. Make it so, guys.

Hawking Says Humans Have Entered a New Stage of Evolution

July 3rd, 2009
movesguy sends us to The Daily Galaxy for comments by Stephen Hawking about how humans are evolving in a different way than any species before us. Quoting: "'At first, evolution proceeded by natural selection, from random mutations. This Darwinian phase, lasted about three and a half billion years, and produced us, beings who developed language, to exchange information. I think it is legitimate to take a broader view, and include externally transmitted information, as well as DNA, in the evolution of the human race," Hawking said. In the last ten thousand years the human species has been in what Hawking calls, 'an external transmission phase,' where the internal record of information, handed down to succeeding generations in DNA, has not changed significantly. 'But the external record, in books, and other long lasting forms of storage,' Hawking says, 'has grown enormously. Some people would use the term evolution only for the internally transmitted genetic material, and would object to it being applied to information handed down externally. But I think that is too narrow a view. We are more than just our genes.'"

Roundup: Cyberdefense SNAFU, Twitter ad scarcity, what’s a jailbreak?

July 3rd, 2009

tubesThe flagship defense system for U.S. government computer networks is stalled — Einstein, as its called, began rollout seven years ago. A Wall Street Journal report says Homeland Security officials are saying Einstein won’t be fully installed for at least another eighteen months.

iPhone “jailbreak” excites nerds, confuses normalsBusiness Insider explains that in theory, a jailbroken iPhone — that means it can do stuff neither Apple nor AT&T want it to, like run on Verizon’s network and install App Store applications without paying for them — could usher in a new era of technological innovation. In practice, it mostly means Verizon will soon pick up a few of its most demanding customers ever.

virtualVirtual Family demands your realtime — The iPhone version of Virtual Families, the popular Sims-like game, lets you stay in touch with a computer-generated character you’ve created, plus a small cast of others such as spouse, children, neighbors and coworkers. The $3.99 iPhone app connects to the $20 version for Mac or PC. Here’s the addictive catch: Your virtual family, like a real one, keeps on going when you’re not around. Spend too much time at the real office and Virtual Wife will have a surprise for you when you show up at home again.

Hands up if you’ve seen an ad on Twitter — Read/Write Web editor Marshall Kirkpatrick (don’t confuse him with VentureBeat’s Matt Marshall) reports that he’s only seen two real ads in Twitter’s ad space in the upper right corner of Twitter.com user pages. The rest are vague “sponsored definitions” links that Kirkpatrick suspects are too cheap to keep Twitter in business.

Google adds RSS to Blog Search redesign — The Google Blog Search homepage, shown below, now looks like a news site. But it flips back into a familiar — and hence easy to use — search results layout when you run a search. Also, you can now subscribe to topical blog searches, something the Official Google Blog says was a big customer demand. You can also set a Google Alert for a specific set of blog search terms, but I haven’t figured out how to get an RSS feed for that.

New version of Foursquare reminds you where your friends are — constantly

July 3rd, 2009

foursquare-pushFoursquare just released a new version of its mobile application for sharing your location with friends — including a new feature that should make the app a much bigger presence in users’ lives. Taking advantage of new options in the iPhone’s operating system, Foursquare 1.3 includes push notification, delivering a message whenever your friends check in at a new location whether you’re using the app or not.

New York City-based Foursquare is run by the same team that created Dodgeball, a location-based social-networking service that was acquired and then neglected by Google. The concept is pretty simple — whenever you arrive at a new location, you “check in,” and your friends get to see where you are. You also win points for things like visiting new places and checking into multiple spots on one trip. Until now, however, you have to turn on the app to see what your friends are doing, so if you’re not checking in yourself, you probably don’t see what your friends are doing. With push notification (which some users have been playing with already, but which just went live for the general public in the App Store), you’ll see check-ins as soon as your friends make them.

As a Foursquare user, this is the first push roll out that I’m really excited about. It has the potential to make Foursquare an even more integral part of my social life. This might also make some users feel like it’s necessary to share their Foursquare check-ins on other social services like Twitter.

Of course, there are risks for overload too, especially if you have many friends on the service or have one friend who just won’t stop checking in. But Foursquare includes controls for turning push notifications off for certain users, or just turning it off completely. And for someone like me, who is much more careful about who I connect with on a location-based service (compared to connections on a sites like Facebook or Twitter), that shouldn’t be a problem.

Amazon Wants Patent For Inserting Ads Into Books

July 3rd, 2009
theodp writes "Three Amazon inventors set out to correct what they felt was a real problem: that 'out-of-print or rare books ... typically do not include advertisements ... the content is fixed and, therefore, has not been adapted to modern marketing.' Their solution is spelled out in newly-disclosed Amazon patent applications for On-Demand Generating E-Book Content with Advertising and Incorporating Advertising in On-Demand Generated Content. From the patent apps, here's what the future of reading may look like: 'For instance, if a restaurant is described on page 12, [then the advertising page], either on page 11 or page 13, may include advertisements about restaurants, wine, food, etc., which are related to restaurants and dining.' So, what would a delightfully-tacky-yet-unrefined Hooters ad do for your Hemingway experience?"
