Xiaxue is selling pixels!

ok this time can really buy 4D liow, i actually opened a post just for another blogger, and i'm not a blogger-surfer cos i just don't have the time (or i spend too much time in clubsnap...)

ANYWAY...

yeah man, Xiaxue is selling pixels!! 10x10 pixel "ad space" (i wouldn't even call it space, more like "spot") for $100 ($1 per pixel) and i think now as i'm typing, it's on 50% discount! ahhahaha..

ok if u can't figure out whether i think she's stupid, or smart... here's the verdict.. SMART! seriously, i think this is a great move on her part and anyway she's a self-declared full-time blogger, so if she doesn't make money from her blog she eat what? as for her choice of career, well, of all people i shouldn't be the one to bag pple that takes chances.

ok going on, u will REALLY buy 4d when u hear this.

i actually thot of buying a spot!!!! ahhahaha

so i was thinking, which site should i put? my blog, or my wedding website. then i went further, i dun really care if anyone reads this blog or not, so no point spending the money on this blog, then as for my wedding photography site, the demographics say something like 16-25yo are the main readers of her blog, and like it or not, these pple are too young to get married. so no point rite? so end up i haven't signed up for those 10 (or more) pixels lor.

another thing, although getting more hits to my wedding website is generally good, i don't want to bastardise the brand. generally speaking, i'm aiming at a niche group of customers, not saying that xiaxue's readers can't afford the rates, don't appreciate the photographs, but generally, the advertising dollar could be better spent more prudently. and goodness.. it's only 10x10 pixels!! if i bought something decent like 100x100 pixels i'll be looking at $10,000 for six months (before discount) and that's exorbitant!!

so.. that was a good 5 mins of reading her entry, and another 5 mins of writing this post, a good break from the TONNES of photos i still have to process.

Shooting a corporate event tomorrow, not a bad payout, and definitely good to add in my "list of past clients".

Cycle & Carriage - Mercedes open house at their new showroom at Pandan Loop.

You think i'll get to ride in an SL65 AMG? mauahah.. i dun think they even have that car in singapore....

ok back to the photos.. i dun have much time left, wide awake, but i better sleep soon if not i won't be able to wake up for the shoot.. even if it's at noon time.

Yeah, the pixel idea is pretty much dead... Honestly you got to do a little research on how they guy got famous. Its actually the brilliance of Digg that helped that guy earned his $1million. Only after it was 'Digg' did his traffic went up astronomically...
That's what they called the 'Digg' effect... I've seen it taken many sites down cause...

Also did you know Mozilla, earned $30million last year by giving out firefox free?

Cheers
