We are very pleased with the turn out and response for our Best Guest Bloggers Blogfest Blog-Off of 2010. Thank you for everyone who entered the competition. We will have one next year as well, so start writing your ideas down so you can enter in 2011.
Now it is time to VOTE. For the next week there will be a poll in the top right of our blog. Select which one you like the best. The winner will be announced after the voting is complete. You have one week to vote, so get out there and vote!
Remember that in the U.S., voting is a right that was earned by people who lost their lives fighting against klansmen, communists, and nazis in various wars. This is a free nation that survives by the hard work of its people. If you do not vote in the guest blog blog-off, then you are an anti-american communist, and we will beat you with folding chairs and rip holes in your Che Guevara t-shirt.
There are a lot of gas stations in the USA. I'm sure there is one gas station out there that will not notice if an extra gas pump "shows up." So, to make money find an old gas pump. They are pretty easy to find. They can be found in random fields with rusted metal and old farm equipment. Bring the old pump to a gas station and put it next to all of the other pumps. No one will notice the rust if you put a "passed inspection" sticker on the pump. Connect your pump to the gas stations system. Make sure you use their gas system, but not their money system. Make sure you keep your credit card machine separate from the gas stations. People will fill up the gas stations gas with your pump and pay you.
Business plan:
It seems these days a lot of people are making money by starting bogus "causes." [Portion deleted by editors for inappropriate mixing of metaphors]... So a good way to make money is to start your own "cause." Something with polar bears or going green seem to be winners. It sure did work for [Portion deleted by editors due to bizarre and inappropriate slur against white people and Australians]....
Step by Step plan:
1) Find something that you can make "scientific" claims that everyone will take your word for it.
[steps two through six were deleted by editors because of extreme irrelevance]
7) Convince everyone that if they do not change their ways your "scientific" claims will destroy the earth as we know it
8) Make a device that people can put in their homes and cars to keep this "scientific" claim from happening (devices are not regulated by the FDA... so you can make any claim about them you want to and not get into trouble)
9) Get some children in China to produce your device in an environmentally unfriendly factory
10) Sell your device based on your "scientific" claims and make a huge profit or at least win the Nobel Peace prize
From reading howtomakeadollar I have learned that videos are the key to a successful blog... so in an attempt to help me win the Best guest bloggers blogfest blog-off I have included a video.
Example of how much devotion you can get to help support your cause based on your "scientific" claims. Do these people not realize TREES ARE AMERICAS GREATEST RENEWABLE RESOURCE?
A few weeks ago Howtomakeadollar announced that it would host its annual 2010 Best Guest Bloggers Blogfest Blog-off. We are pleased to report a very high turnout of guest bloggers. Each day we will post a new guest blog on this site. We will post the blogs in the order in which they were received, and all readers are free to vote in our poll on the right side of this page. The guest blogger who receives the most votes will win one dollar, and all the losers will have to post a link to Howtomakeadollar on their facebook page, and say something nice about the winner.
Guest blog 1: Celebrity Domains
No one likes their name slandered- in fact, it’s not even protected under free speech (don’t believe me? Google it). But, if your sense of self worth is low enough, or you’re just that desperate to make your first legit buck, you can try to sell celebrities their own domains back to them after you’re done dragging their names through the dirt.
Here’s how to do it:
Identify an upcoming celebrity/teeny bopper/politician. It’s important to make sure they don’t already have a website to their name. Let’s say, for example: Matt Damon.
Purchase the domain name. (in our case, www.mattdamon.com)
Proceed to post offensive material or take unpopular stances on any of the following historical tragedies (some tragedies referenced by guest blogger were deleted due to their grotesqueness):
Lincoln assassination
Pearl Harbor
Apartheid
Holocaust
Clint Howard never quite making it in the big time (darn you, world!)
The following tragedies are filed under “too soon”, but depending on personal preference, you may also use: (all tragedies referenced by the guest blogger have been deleted because they are all definetely "too soon")
Kick off your shoes- you can probably sit back and wait for Matt Damon’s reps to call, at which point you should demand a large sum of money paid to your estate for acquisition of the domain. (portion deleted because of extremely weird reference)
Now that you’ve officially cashed in, it’s time to learn to deal with the following repercussions:
A. A devastating blow to your karma, which may result in you being reincarnated as something other than human and probably a poisonous tree.
B. Officially joining the list of most admired professions, your rank will probably be near the following:
85314367. Dental Hygienist
85314368. Celebrity domain purchaser/seller backer
85314369. Publicist
C. Accepting the fact that you’ll be either killed by associates of the celebrity you’re blackmailing, or more likely, be forced to be on Judge Judy. (Judge Judy added for comical relief as well as to take the place of another extremely weird reference).
