WTF?

I saw this commercial last night and took a picture because I could not believe what I was looking at. How can they sell medication without knowing exactly how it works? WTF?

Wall Street Journal Discount

Posted by Matthew Berman On September - 14 - 2009

This post is a review of the Wall Street Journal discount site, requested by the owner.

Screen shot 2009-09-14 at 12.20.21 PM

The Wall Street Journal has been around since 1889 and is a well respected investment related newspaper and online site. WSJ not only covers money news though, they also cover world, U.S., markets, technology, personal finance, life & style, opinion, careers, real estate, small business, politics, sports, fashion health, market data and much more. I have read articles from the WSJ over the years and there is always very good insight into many current money-related topics. Over the years, the Wall Street Journal has accumulated 33 Pulitzer Prizes for multiple topics. This is no small feat.

Recently, the Wall Street Journal asked me to review their new discount site for people who would like to sign up for this great publication. They are offering 75% off subscription if you sign up through this link. Additionally, they are offering 80% off if you sign up for both the written publication and online version. It does not seem like the website WSJPrimerate.us has anything to do with the actual Wall Street Journal publication but they are an affiliate. Regardless, this is a great price for anyone looking to sign up for this excellent publication. One suggestion for my readers would be to get affiliate marketing ideas from articles that WSJ produces. Take the current issues in the world and turn them into profit! Enjoy.

Flip Mino HD

I recently received a Flip MinoHD hand held camera to review, and let me tell you, I haven’t left my apartment without it in over a week. I’m usually not one to bring a camera out with me to dinner or the bars, but this thing really does a killer job. The quality, although not true 1080P HD quality, is amazing when compared to a digital camera or your cell phone. It’s super compact, fits in your pocket and looks really sleek.

My only complaint is the unusually small screen. Instead of having a tiny screen and a set of buttons below, it would have been awesome to have a touch screen that took up the entire side of the camera. Below is a video I took during pre-game warm-ups for college basketball game. Sorry for the shakiness, I guess I should have bought a mini tri-pod!

Specs:
4GB Internal Memory, records 60 minutes of HD quality video
1.5” Screen
Customizable (which is really cool)
MSRP: $229

I’m Still Alive

Posted by Matthew Berman On January - 29 - 2009

Yes…I am still alive. I haven’t had much time to post recently but I just wanted to make sure everyone knew I was here and still cared about this blog very much. I will try to post soon with what I’ve been doing lately. I’ve been killing affiliate marketing so maybe I’ll share some of my secrets:)….or maybe not.

Sneaky Restaurant Fail

Posted by Matthew Berman On October - 21 - 2008

This restaurant tries to hide its C rating in a very clever way. I doubt I would even notice if I were looking at this place. Is this even legal??

Family Guy Episode: Bird is the Word

=====================================================================

This was last week’s new episode of Family Guy and I don’t remember laughing this hard at Family Guy in a while. This is exactly why I love Hulu, 5 seconds of commercials with video on demand. The bird is definitely the word.

EDIT: Hulu removed the video so here is the best part of the episode from youtube.

T3leads (Affiliate Review)

Posted by Matthew Berman On October - 1 - 2008

General
I have been checking out a new-ish affiliate network lately, T3leads. They mainly focus on financial programs from debt relief to auto loans etc. T3leads does not resell generated leads, but rather they directly cooperate with large networks of banks and other financial institutions to create the affiliate program. Just like most other affiliate networks, you get paid by each lead (CPA based).

Backend
T3leads has a very easy to use backend that allows for easy reporting and finding of new campaigns. The high quality of T3lead promo tools ensures high conversion rates in the affiliate network. They guarantee high conversion rates (1:6 and 1:9), but I have not had a chance to test this myself.

Payments
One of the best things about this affiliate network is the payment methods. In the past, I have struggled with shady networks not paying on time, giving very few payment options, and sometimes not paying at all. With T3leads, they give an assortment of payment options including: paypal, ePassport, check, wire transfer, and others. This is a huge plus.

Unique Feature
One thing that really stood out to me was their unique earnings system. Instead of giving a flat rate like most other networks do, they allow advertisers to bid on your leads in an auction-type system, which allows for maximum profit. Look at it this way, if another network is willing to pay $26 for a lead, there’s probably more than one other company willing to pay $27 for the same lead that you may never get to see. That lost dollar does not seem like much, but when you start delivering tons of leads it will really build up.

Bonus’
Just like other ad networks, T3leads gives bonus’ for their well performing affiliates. They offer everything from computers to iPods. I highly suggest checking out T3leads and giving them a chance. I know there are a ton of other affiliate networks out there, but it’s always good to try each at least once.

Try T3leads now!

Finally #1 For Matthew Berman

Posted by Matthew Berman On July - 28 - 2008

Update: I lost #1 position, back to the grind.

I have finally reached the #1 position in Google for my name. My last post showed that Firefox and Safari were giving different results and I was #2 in FF. Now, I have reached the #1 position! I probably took over #1 because of the previous post. Here’s the screen shot:
