I have befriended Mark, author of 45n5, a few months back and have been following his blog for inspiration and even some hacking tricks. Recently Mark posted on his blog that he gave notice to quit his day job and will go full time into affiliate marketing in about two weeks. For me it was a good opportunity to send him few questions so without further ado here is yet another “three question interview”. Enjoy and feel free to comment:
Q:
Mark, you have recently posted on your blog that you are quiting your day job. Would you recommend to do so to any one who is seriously interested in affiliate marketing or internet marketing for that matter? Also what was the main factor that made you decide to move full time into “making money online”?
Mark:
I would recommend everybody quit their job and try to make money online full time. The tricky question is when is the right time to quit your job? The answer is unique for every situation. For myself I make enough to cover my half of the bills in the household and amassed a decent savings, so the time to quit was good for me.
Q:
You have just recently started IMakeMoneyOnline.Tv and in your first video you talk about the fact that you will be writing more reviews. I watched many videos on 45n5 and I am looking forward to watch your videos on IMakeMoneyOnline.Tv. What your vision is in regards for IMakeMoneyOnline.TV?
Mark:
IMakeMoneyOnline.Tv will be a web show that covers the making money online niche where the content is chosen by it’s viewers! Viewers will get to vote up and down the newest stories that relate to their lives and I will cover the top few stories with each episode, and then adding my own “skits” into the mix. Stay tuned and go subscribe now!
(As you can see from the screen shot, the show is promising to be as much entertaining as it will be informative!)
Q:
Do you think there ever will be a demand for V-Reviews (video reviews)? After all, there is a good number of bloggers including yourself that produce outstanding video blogs.
Mark:
I think there will be a time for video reviews, especially with video showing up in googles results now. However I wouldn’t expect to see it anytime soon. I’m still amazed at how few bloggers have picked up the video camera (Vlad?). Video has come a long way but still has a long way to go.
Just to answer Mark's question. Unfortunately no vBlogging will take place here any soon.
lol, c'mon vlad. Thanks for the opportunity to answer some questions, you're chance to answer some question will be coming shortly 😉
lol not via video I hope lol

I personally really enjoy consuming video and podcasts; especially when it is a subject you are passionate about. It will be interesting to see where it goes.

@Electro,
I do as well, but not all of the video's in the blogosphere are produced with the quality in mind. I think Mark is doing great with his videos.
@Chee
Thanks. Are you up for one? I have been reading your blog fro quiet some time. I have a question or three for your as well. 😉

I am not a video-person. I'm morecomfortable programming time clock software than trying to make or edit a video, but I know it's time I have to do it. In my mind lack of knowing what to do as far as getting started making videos is a huge barrier. Distribution seems like it will be the easy part (check out http://www.richcontent.tv for example). I guess the trick will be to start with any old thing, then evaluate it asking “how can I improve?”
lol, writing software isn't much different 🙂
