Making Money Online
There are many ways to make money: a job, your own brick & mortar business, or even an online business. Many individuals are making a go at it online. Some are even doing it for their sole income. One such person is blogger Tyler Cruz. Tyler is an internet entrepreneur and operates a self-named blog - TylerCruz.com as well as some other sites.
While this blog is not intended as a money-maker, I do have a few ads that help support my habits such as golf.
One great aspect of TylerCruz.com is that he uses extensive case studies. He doesn’t just tell you do X. He does X,Y,and Z and then concludes that X is better. This is a very scientific approach and it also lends him more credibility in convincing his readers that his strategies work.
Get Demographic Market Research for Free
Market research is the #1 thing you must do when considering selling a product or service. Part of that is demographic. If you are selling a men’s clothing line targeted to the 50+ set, you better make sure that the market demographic supports it. So where do you get this information? Don’t rely on visual cues such as “oh I saw at least 10 old people in the pharmacy.” Be scientific and be cost effective.
The U.S. Census Bureau tracks all the useful demographic details about our cities. It is cumbersome to sift through the statistics so I use a website that helps sort the data and reduces research time significantly.
The website is ZipSkinny.com. The site enable you to choose any zip code in the US and see the following information:
- Education levels
- Income
- Occupation
- Marital Status
- Age/Gender/Race Demographics
- Stability/Newcomer Appeal
ZipSkinny also lets you compare zip code’s stats. This is useful if you are choosing between locations for a store selling high-end baby clothes for example. With ZipSkinny you can find the location with higher income and more children.
ZipSkinny provides you the high dollar market intelligence you need to make informed business decisions.
Check out the screenshot below of a sample of zipskinny’s abilities or check your own zipcode at ZipSkinny.

They Rule
Wow what the heck is that Dax? Is that the layoff plan? Nope. The above is a screenshot generated of the website theyrule.net
An important issue in corporate governance is the concept of interlocking boards. Interlocking boards means a director on one company’s board may also sit on the board of another.
In the above example, I’ve mapped SBC Communications (now AT&T). SBC has directors that are also on the board of Anhauser-Busch. Anhauser-Busch has directors that are on the board of Coca-Cola which in turn has directors also that are members of SBC’s board. In a way they are all connected. So what does this mean? For one they lose their independence and ability to regulate eachother. A member of SBC’s board may vote for a measure supported by another individual that is on Anhauser-Busch’s board for example. It could be that Anhauser-Busch needs something that the board is voting on. Or it could be a vote to increase the pay of the SBC president’s pay. The SBC president may be on the board of another company that will determine my pay at that company.
The independence is lost and the results become biased.
Check out the site. I already knew about some of the linkages at SBC, but you’ll be able to click on a company from their database and expand their directors, contracts, etc. If the company is big you’re almost certain to find some linkages.
