Get Paid For Giving Feedback

Corporations rely on consumer opinions when designing their products and services, and market research companies are willing to pay you for that valuable feedback. Sites that charge fees usually inflate there listings by providing links to "special rewards surveys" that actually end up being marketing ads or sites that require out of pocket expenses. Online-paid-surveys.net offers free paid survey directories, and allows readers to both rate and review paid survey sites. It also has a good blog with useful information for taking paid surveys.
Paid Online Surveys directory with user and editorial reviews of legitimate market research, free paid survey panels for US, Canada, UK, Australia, Asia-Pacific, international, and teen participants.

With SpendView.com users can easily track and visualize money transactions and accounts

With SpendView.com users can easily track and visualize money transactions and accounts. The main database has all your accounts listed including bank accounts, investments and other funds. Accounts are organized with credits and debits and the information is organized into visuals that help users actually see their spending and saving habits, which can help reorganize finances that are out of control or simply need order. Secondly, the website engine organizes spending into tags where money is devoted to a specific category. For example, the tag “car” has it’s own mini account that keeps track of funds spent on gas, insurance, upkeep, etc. Users can also take advantage of the targets section where expenditures are ranked by percent and users are notified and can gain control over their money allocation. Transactions and accounts are also presented in the form of monthly summaries that has a graph showing how money was spend, percent of income spent, and account and target information. Instead of waiting for your bank statement to come, use SpendView.com and be in control.
Consolidating your transactions and categorizing them automatically is cool. But how does that help you? Data is useless unless you extrapolate real, valuable information out of it. Typically, personal finance tools display information in vanilla, tabular formats accompanied by a few pie charts.

Create Your Own Magazine

8020 Publishing seamlessly combines the “wisdom of the crowds” mentality with publishing to create media which appeals and is relevant to their audience. The result is beneficial for both parties; subscribers are happy because they have a magazine that not only caters to their interests but also features their submissions, and 8020 is as already hooked up with a loyal fanbase, minimizing any advertising costs.
It means that the magazines created by 8020 Publishing aren’t actually created by the company at all. Rather, the 8020 community submits the content to 8020, who in turn weave the user submissions into printed magazines. The only role the editorial staff plays is choosing which content will be selected for the magazines (the site currently publishes two – JPG for photography and Everywhere for travel), and of course, retains the traditional role of putting the magazine into print. If you’re interested, you can visit either magazines’ individual site (access via “Magazines” on the main 8020 page), and sign up to submit your content.

BuddyLabs is an avatar-creation site that works much like any other, except for that the array of customizable options

BuddyLabs is an avatar-creation site that works much like any other, except for that the array of customizable options is mind-boggling. Currently, the site offers four animals that you can personalize (a pig, a fish, a cat, and a T-Rex, if my paleontological memory serves me correctly). You can adjust literally any setting these animals have, ranging from the obvious (clothing and accessories) to the more obscure (hip thickness and jaw size?!). The site is extremely easy to use, though you’ll need to make sure you’re running the latest version of FlashPlayer in order to create and customize you’re avatar. When you’re done, you can upload your avatar to a variety of social networking sites (including MySpace, Orkut, and Xanga) by pasting your personal html code into any section of your personal profile.

SpiralFrog, the free, ad-supported music store, has finally opened its doors with over 770.000 songs and 3.500 music videos

SpiralFrog, the free, ad-supported music store, has finally opened its doors with over 770.000 songs and 3.500 music videos from indie labels and UMG.

The company has had a long journey, with many speculated that its business model would never work. With more than a few setbacks, SpiralFrog looked like it wasn’t going to make it at all on several occasions, and a similar situation was mimicked by Qtrax, another ad-supported music service. It did launch its private beta earlier this year, indicating that it would be ready to launch right about now. And SpiralFrog has finally come to be. UMG is the largest of the major record labels, and SpiralFrog is betting on this kind of star power to help kick off its public launch.

This isn’t the only place that UMG is looking to offer more options to consumers, and try to better capitalize on the web’s distribution potential by diverse measures. It’s signed on other online retailers like Amazon and teamed up with companies like gbox as well. While you can download music for free, there are a couple of catches. Music can be downloaded to compatible devices with Windows DRM employed, and the transfer of music is allowed only twice. You’ll also need to renew your account every 30 days, which is similar to other paid music subscription services that charge on a monthly basis.

Unusual Business Idea

A doodle netted Jared Fiorovich $5,000 and the only person who wasn't surprised was him.

"I'm always imagining things," says the 18-year-old Aptos teen who drew a sketch of an iPod shuffle case that doubles as a keychain and bottle opener to win a design competition at the MacWorld show. "Like sometimes I can't get to sleep and I'll just jot something down."

He stands in his room next to shelves stacked with broken skateboard decks and a drawer full of old shoes which he will sometimes tear apart and combine into new designs: for instance, a pair of golf shoes with skate-style soles that he spray painted silver.

"I daydream a lot," he says.

At the design contest set up by 20-year-old whiz kid Ben Kaufman, Fiorovich thought about how, since he used a skateboard as his main form of transportation, he needed to have things compact and efficient so they would fit in his pockets. He made his drawing of the holder/opener/keychain and added a cord rack, because he didn't like how his iPod cords always got tangled. Among the 120 new-product designs submitted, Fiorovich's came out on top. It's called the Bevy.

"It's rad," says Fiorovich of the fact his product is now for sale and that it includes his name on the package back.

In his room, the teen with the shaggy brown hair and faded board shorts, fires up a short video that features his skateboarding tricks, then digs into a jumbled closet of stuff for his Eagle Scout album which contains a photo of a bench he built for a local church.

He gives a short laugh. He likes it that he doesn't fit the mold: a skateboarding soon-to-be Eagle Scout inventor who's still working on his high school diploma.

A trophy for perfect attendance stands among a regiment of skateboarding trophies. He tosses a ragged ball he made out of broken shoelaces into the air.

He limps upstairs, a bumper-stickered cane clanking on the metal stairway. He had reconstructive surgery on his ankle because of his skateboard crashes. Once that heals, he'll be on to the next thing: getting into the Academy of Art in San Francisco so he can become an industrial designer.

He thinks already having an invention just might help.

Salseman And A Car

Establishing & maintaining rapport is perhaps the single most important ingredient in sales & marketing. Always has been, always will be.

Let me tell you a little story.

Earlier this week, I got a call from a salesman after leaving a message about getting my stereo repaired. My expensive, but aging Nakamichi CD player is on the fritz, and I'm virtually tuneless. Not good.

It was a notable conversation for anybody interested in the art and science of persuasion. And in particular, the role that rapport plays in that process.

My apprehension was this.

I bought the unit about 8 years ago, and I'm thinking. OK, this is going to cost me some money. I could probably now go out & buy a new CD player for the same amount. Just getting an estimate is going to cost me.

So the guy calls up, & immediately starts building rapport with me. How does he do it?

After introducing himself, he says, 'So you've got an MB-1s, awesome unit, what do you listen to?' I tell him, 'I'm into rhythm & blues & jazz'. He probes a little to see what kind of blues I dig, & we find ourselves rapping for a bit about how much we both love the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan.

And then without missing a beat, he says 'So I suppose you'rewondering whether technology has advanced so far in 8 years that you could replace your MB-1s with a new unit for pennies on the dollar?

I say, 'yes'.

And then he goes on to tell me. 'Unless you're prepared to fork out a sizable chunk of change on a relatively high end unit, your going to lose some of the raw analog warmth & character that oozes faithfully from Stevie's Fender Stratocaster every time
you slide a CD into that Nakamichi'.

And I'm like, Wow, thanks for saving my life dude.

This wasn't the only guy I called, but I can tell you this. He was the only one I considered doing business with. And it came down to the rapport that he created.

So what can we learn from this?

First off, let me point out that while this was a personal interaction, you should take the principle of rapport very seriously, even when it comes to your marketing.

The fundamentals are thus.

I liked this guy. Because I liked him, I listened to him. Because I listened to him, I believed him. And because I believed him, I bought from him. Sure it wasn't a huge purchase. But what happened in those few minutes on the telephone takes place in virtually every sale that you make, whether you're an active participant in the process, or not.

You are developing an unspoken relationship with your customers, as a result of both your personal interaction, & every piece of marketing you deliver.

The challenge is this. How do you generate rapport, when you don't have the expensive luxury of personal contact with all of your clients at every stage of the buying cycle?

Here are a few ideas.

Be a person in your marketing. Far too many businesses make the dreadful mistake of coming off as stuffy, corporate, & boring, in the name of professionalism. Your business can be professional, & still have character.

Communicate with your prospects, in their own words. If you're marketing to engineers, & you know that they use acronyms, use acronyms. If you're selling to the CEO, speak in plain English. Just common sense, but so often ignored.

And finally, give your customers more than they expect. It is rare to do business with a company that demonstrates a genuine concern for the actual outcomes that their customers experience as a result of a purchase.

This is very different than simply being committed to the satisfactory performance of your product or service. You build rapport by showing your prospects exactly how what you're selling 'fits in' to what they are already doing.

In the final analysis, your prospects & customers should feel like they know you as a person from your marketing & advertising. More importantly, they should know you as the kind of person that they would call a friend, & look forward to hearing from.

Until next time, Good Selling!

A new French company provides would-be adulterers with custom-made excuses that help take the danger of discovery out of cheating.

Looking to get away for a weekend fling without getting caught? A new French company provides would-be adulterers with custom-made excuses that help take the danger of discovery out of cheating.

Founded six months ago by former private eye Regine Mourizard, Web-based Ibila can cook up invites to phony weekend seminars, fake emergency phone calls from work, invitations to nonexistent weddings - anything to justify cheating spouses' absence.

Mourizard said her service is aimed at protecting couples and families by allowing adulterers to live their flings undetected.
"If the alibi is well done and the spouse doesn't suspect anything, this can sometimes save marriages," Mourizard told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

Here's how it works: In an e-mail message or call to Ibila, the prospective client requests an alibi for a specific date and time. Mourizard concocts just the right excuse, taking into account the client's profession and personal circumstances.

She and her co-worker, a computer specialist, draw up fake restaurant and hotel bills, receipts and other documents to help shore up what Mourizard calls her "little white lies."

If the adulterer was supposed to have been away for a seminar, the company can even provide the kinds of freebies - pens, hats and tee-shirts - sometimes given at such events.

Mourizard said she that because of privacy issues, she could only give details about one of her past clients, whom she called "Geraldine."

Married to a "strict man," Geraldine was desperate to get out of the house for an hour-long meeting with an ex-boyfriend who lived abroad and was briefly passing through town.

"This man was practically the love of her life and she had to see him," Mourizard said. Together, they hatched a plan.
Geraldine owned a driving school, so on the appointed day, Mourizard called her home pretending to be a student who needed a last-minute lesson before her driving test the following day.

"The husband totally bought it. He even offered to get the car out of the garage for her," Mourizard said.
The simplest excuses - like Geraldine's - cost euro19 (US$27), while more the more elaborate and time-consuming alibis can run upward of euro150 (US$207).

Mourizard insisted her business is completely above board because she concocts fake bills from invented companies, hotels and restaurants and does not doctor or forge real documents. She also requires clients to sign a document pledging not to use her materials to swindle their employers or the French government.

Upon request, the company can handle the logistics for clients' secret rendezvous, from making hotel reservations to booking train and plane tickets. Ibila also offers to buy illicit gifts, so that suspicious purchases at flower, perfume or chocolate shops don't appear on clients' bank statements.

Most of her clients - about 60 percent - are men, Mourizard said. They range in age from 25-60, but most are in their mid-forties.

Mourizard, a 50-year-old mother of two, said it was her experience as a private detective that led her to open Ibila - Europe's second such service, she said.

"For 20 years, I worked to keep people from doing what they wanted to do. And I then thought, 'what if I help them do it, in a safe way?'"

Following a "very amicable" divorce from her first husband, Mourizard remarried two years ago. Asked what her spouse thinks of her new business, she said: "He thinks I have some pretty bizarre ideas."

Is he suspicious when she gets strange phone calls or receives unexpected invitations in the mail?

"No, he trusts me completely. And I trust him. I mean, if he were cheating, I'd find him out in a second," she said.

Babfy

British website Babyfy is hoping to tap into that marketing potential by publishing expert reviews on baby products, giving the complete lowdown on every brand of stroller/pram/pushchair and dozens of other product categories.

Babyfy’s real user value could lay with its reviews of hospitals and the services they provide expectant mothers. Besides offering statistics on aspects such as the ratio of Caesarean vs. natural births, the chart-like reviews focus on occasionally overlooked areas such as parking and visiting hours. Visitors can also rate various aspects of their experience at a hospital and provide their own written comments. The site is currently still in beta: some product categories have yet to be reviewed, and advertising isn’t yet up to the site’s potential. Entrepreneurs bent on setting up a new website for parents-to-by in other countries might also want to review services like childbirth classes, paediatric clinics and day care centers. The key thing is to get users to review hospitals and other services, much like travellers review hotels on TripAdvisor. Consumers are feeding more and more of their purchasing decisions with online reviews posted by their peers. (See trendwatching.com's infolust briefing for more.) Time to bring the power of transparency to every last product and service category!

VC's Talk And Advice For Entrepreneurs

Avnish Bajaj, Matrix Partners:

My advice to entrepreneurs? May be I shouldn't be telling them because it will become harder for me to negotiate…
But you know the negotiation will be around valuation.

So as an investor, I will put up 10 points, all of which are important to me. And if the entrepreneur is only thinking: 'valuation, valuation, valuation', I will make sure I will get nine in my favor and then give a little bit on valuation. So a smart entrepreneur needs to realize that negotiation is actually a package deal of all these 10 terms.

The important terms?

Things like what is the instrument in which the VC is investing - almost always preferred stock; what are the rights of that preferred stock; what are the things that the entrepreneur will have to seek the VC's permission to do; the size of the option pool; the conditions under which the entrepreneur and the VC can fire each other: What happens if new money has to be raised? What happens if the entrepreneur wants to sell out? What happens if the VC wants to sell out? All of these are extremely critical.

Balaji Srinivas, Aureos Capital

Say there are three VCs who are interested - you obviously look at which VC gives you the maximum amount of money for your company's shares, and you go with him. And that is how deals are generally done.
But from an entrepreneur's perspective, it is important to know the expectations of that VC: what are the terms he has put in, that could hurt the entrepreneur three to four years down the line?

For example, there could be performance expectations. One VC could say: I will give you x valuation. And another one could say: I will give you 3x valuation, but you have to perform 2x. And if you don't perform, maybe he will make your life difficult, and maybe take away some of your ownership
Alok Mittal, Canaan Partners

It's not just money; it's way beyond that. Choosing a partner is much more critical, in my view, than focusing on whether I can get an exact term.
If the business does well, you are going to make enough money. You are going to make enough money that you don't care beyond that; the terms won't matter so much. The key is to have the right partner.

Avnish Bajaj

Obviously don’t be stupid.
I would never ask somebody to take more than 25% below what they could get from somewhere else. But at the same time, don't just look to get the highest price for your company, focus more on working with the right people who can help you grow a business. That would be my advice.

Alok Mittal

Maintaining discipline is an elusive goal. It is especially hard for first time VCs to keep exercising that discipline. Booms and busts happen because sentiments fly.
But I think there is another important element: all partners must agree before a deal is done. Hopefully if I am not exercising restraint and discipline, my partners will.

Admish is a powerful college admissions community that brings together colleges, students, parents, teachers, and guidance counselors at one place

Admish is a powerful college admissions community that brings together colleges, students, parents, teachers, and guidance counselors in a single portal.
Like any other social network, the site is based on connecting people through personal profiles, but the site works toward different means and ends depending on who you are. If you’re a student, your profile goes beyond just being a friend-making mechanism and also lets you show off your skills, extracurriculars, and academic accomplishments to admissions officers (you can even upload photos and videos to back up your boasting). You can also discuss the application process with guidance counselors, other rising college freshmen, and admissions officers, and search schools by your chosen criteria to help you find that perfect match.

Do You Know About ModelsHotel.com?

While interning in customer relations at Deutsche Bank in the summer of 2005, Jesper Lannung had an epiphany. "Models have wants and needs too," says the 25-year-old Mr. Lannung, who has a gap-toothed grin and occasionally models himself.

With about $100,000 and a dream of uniting professional fashion models everywhere, Mr. Lannung and his financial backer, a music-industry veteran who calls himself SuperFrank, launched a social-networking site last year called ModelsHotel.com. There, the thin and beautiful can post pictures, videos and information about themselves, find romantic matches and get deals on everything from cosmetic dentistry to clothes. Unlike other modeling-focused sites, ModelsHotel is for professional models only. No poseurs. No voyeurs. No exceptions.

"Our site is a digital velvet rope," says Mr. Lannung, who has rejected more than half of the more than 2,000 people who have attempted to register so far.

It's this promise of exclusivity that is drawing sponsors to the site. Among its high-profile marketing partners: eccentric fashion design house Heatherette, Diesel jeans and luxury jeweler Piaget.

Like other professional social-networking sites that have sprung up for people in fields ranging from medicine to advertising, ModelsHotel aims to make money by selling access to its relatively tiny target audience. While traditional ads are sparse on the site, by focusing on models, who have the potential to become walking billboards for luxury brands, the year-old start-up is trying to tap into a movement by fashion-industry marketers to use trend-setters to augment traditional advertising.

For this season's New York fashion week, Mr. Lannung joined with Heatherette, the design duo known for wild ensembles and theatrical runway antics. Models asked to audition for the label's fashion show, which will take place tomorrow evening at Gotham Hall, were given "invitatiokeys," business cards with five-digit codes that allow them to get beyond the ModelsHotel "lobby" home page to create a profile. A few will be granted entry to Heatherette's exclusive after-party at the night club Lotus; the party is being advertised on the site, and the first few models who respond will be added to the guest list.

"Everybody loves to have models at their parties," says Traver Rains, designer and co-founder of Heatherette, which didn't pay ModelsHotel for the plug. "We like to be associated with cool, new things," he says. Designers Zang Toi and Andrew Buckler also distributed ModelsHotel key cards at their fashion show castings.

ModelsHotel, which is now seeking $1.5 million in venture capital, signed its first fashion deal last season. In addition to paying about $10,000 for a banner ad on the site, Diesel jeans set up an audition for a fashion show during New York fashion week, and gave away $200 skinny jeans to those who showed up. For the rest of the week, long-limbed models could be seen running from appointment to appointment clad in Diesel's latest looks.

"It is good visibility for us to have these girls looking great in our jeans," says Dan Barton, vice president of communications for Diesel USA, a division of Italy's Diesel SpA. The label isn't currently advertising on ModelsHotel, though Mr. Barton says he would consider working with the site again in the future.

Models spend a lot of time in isolation, traveling from casting to casting, often in cities where they don't know anyone else. But like Shannon Rusbuldt, a 22-year-old model with Elite Models, many fear exposing themselves to unwelcome solicitations from wannabe photographers, agents and suitors. Mr. Lannung, who is represented by Ms. Rusbuldt's former agency, persuaded her to join by assuring her that his site is similar to other social networks, "but without the creepy people."

Applicants don't have to pay anything to register, but they must first be given an invitation key.

Mr. Lannung's 51-year-old partner -- Frank "SuperFrank" Copsidas, late soul singer James Brown's former manager -- says he also sees opportunities in creating micro-communities for other fashion professionals, such as stylists and photographers, who are considered influential in fashion circles. These sites could, theoretically, give users the option to open their profiles to other professional networks.

One problem such narrowly targeted sites face is that their small size can limit marketing opportunities for the sites' owners, says Samir Arora, chairman and chief executive of Glam Media Inc., a network of mainstream and niche Internet publishers that focus on fashion, beauty and design.

"The smaller and more restrictive you are, the more qualified an audience you will have," Mr. Arora says, "but you have all the problems of leverage and reach because you are so small."

But ModelsHotel has managed to attract the interest of businesses outside the fashion industry too. David Barton Gym, a chain of luxurious fitness clubs, is now offering a free trial membership to ModelsHotel subscribers. A cosmetic dentist is offering 30% off all procedures. And the producers of the recent Anne Hathaway film about Jane Austen, "Becoming Jane," posted a last-minute invitation to members for the film's New York premiere, hosted by high-end jewelry maker Piaget. A dozen models showed up.

Since many models, especially those starting out, can't support themselves by modeling alone, the site has plans to launch part-time job listings for employers who value good-looking people -- namely restaurants, retailers and nightclubs -- and would pay for the chance to get access to ModelsHotel registrants.

Weeding out impostors has been the biggest challenge for many professional-networking sites, and ModelsHotel has been no exception. Mr. Lannung personally vets each applicant -- he calls agencies and asks registrants to "name their bookers," he says -- a time-consuming process that has made it difficult for him to continue modeling. In spite of his vigilance, he admits that several impostors have sneaked through; most have been booted off the site, Mr. Lannung says.

"I had a feeling it was going to be rough to get approval," wrote one male applicant in an email plea to Mr. Lannung, after his profile was taken down. "I had to stop modeling for some personal issues but I plan to get back into it," he said, adding that his girlfriend is also a professional model.

The verdict: access denied.

Thrilling Shopping Cart.......

Everybody needs to shop. So why should shopping be ordinary? Markitcart is a revolutionary shopping cart – smart, expressive and unquestionably the way of the future.

Australian Markitcart has developed an award-winning alternative to the traditional steel shopping cart, aimed at improving the concept not just for consumers but also for retailers and advertisers. Made of UV-stable and fully recyclable plastic, Markitcarts are available in 12 colours that can be matched to a retailer’s brand palette. The carts weigh less yet hold more than traditional carts. They also feature larger, easier-to-control wheels, and their lower center of gravity makes them less likely to topple when children climb aboard.

For advertisers, Markitcarts feature large, easily interchangeable side panels that function as mobile billboards with exposure right at the point of sale. Advantages for retailers? Besides the carts’ improved durability, safety and aesthetic appeal, Markitcarts are also RFID-compatible, so that when RFID technology is rolled out in retail—allowing an entire cart’s worth of shopping to be scanned at once—the carts will be ready. Markitcart also offers maintenance service with fortnightly cleanings and safety checks, sourcing and changing of adverts, and a recycling program. Pricing is “much the same” as that for conventional carts, Markitcart chairman and CEO Mark Fraser says.

Markitcart was founded in 2001, but is just now in the midst of its global launch. The carts are already available in Australia, and the next batches are due to begin shipping to Germany, Iceland and the US later this month. The cleaning and ad-changing service operates as a franchise, and Markitcart is in the process of organizing licensees and distributors worldwide, who typically serve as country licensees or territory development agents and need to be experienced in either selling advertising or providing a support service, Fraser says. While they’re not the first plastic shopping carts to be launched, Multicart’s highly integrated approach sounds promising.

At 17 She Become Entrepreneur

Whateverlife.com. The teen-girl site and company was started by Ashley Qualls, an entrepreneur from a working-class neighborhood outside Detroit, who happens to be 17 herself.

One of the many fascinating things about Whateverlife is that Ashley didn’t set out to start a business. The Internet practically did it for her.

Web design was a hobby, something she’d been learning online since she was 9. As a high-school sophomore, she figured out how to create layouts for MySpace pages, and her friends at Lincoln Park High School were keen to customize theirs, much like school lockers.

As word spread throughout the MySpace universe, the 15-year-old couldn’t afford the servers to support her exploding online audience.

A friend suggested using Google AdSense, which generates ad revenue based on a site’s traffic. Ka-ching. Whateverlife was off and running.

Ashley has created nearly 3,000 layouts, her monthly audience is around 7 million, and revenue has grown from a couple of thousand bucks a month to as much as $70,000 - more than $1 million in less than two years.

The Accidental Business has become a burgeoning byproduct of the Web. Just look at the collectors-turned-entrepreneurs on eBay alone.

By providing a cheap and instantaneous distribution or publishing platform, the Internet democratizes entrepreneurship. It’s a beautiful and powerful thing.
