brilliant - income generation ideas for the real world: September 2006

Fly in Peace and Quiet

If you are like me and hate having to listen to other people's cellphone conversations you might like this: "Airline attendant attempts to trick passengers into turning off cell phones.

Stephen D. Levitt, co-author of the excellent book Freakanomics, was on a flight a few days ago, and before the plane was about to take off, the flight attendant announced: “According to the reading on my equipment up front, there is still one cell phone turned on, so please check that you have turned yours off.”

Obviously, she has no equipment for detecting this, but you should have seen the passengers scramble to check their bags. Still, brilliant on the part of the flight attendant, although I think it would have been more convincing coming from the pilot."

Work at Home Business Suit - Online Image Makeover

Work at Home Slobs take heed - the new online must-have suit will seriously sharpen up your image. I was delighted to see this new Fake half-suit for videoconferencing. 'Slobs who work at home can look their best for videoconferences with the Businessbib, a pullover half-suit that has a built in shirt and tie. The suits are hand-made from recycled materials and are supposed to be sturdy and stylish.'
That is great for the men - now we need a female outfit plus instant make-up so the girlies can look their best online as well.

The Strongest Adsense Alternative so Far

I just read a public domain report that could be the most viable Adsense Alternative available.

It is important to set up multiple streams of income for any business, even when one income stream is a cash cow. You can never tell when the income will dry up. This free report exposes why many people's Adsense income sucks lately, even though every so-called "Guru" on the net is pushing AdSense products like never before! The report is called "The Death Of AdSense" and you can grab it FREE here. He is likely to be closing the doors on the report very soon, so grab one while it's still a live link.

Indexed by Google - Is this a Record

We loaded up a new site six days ago and used all our usual organic SEO techniques to get indexed by Google. My partner was delighted to find it has been indexed this morning, after just six days. I am pleased too, as she could talk about nothing else - except the dog.
