While most of you were watching re-runs of Miracle On 34th St over the holidays, my partners and I were fundraising.
In thirteen days we raised three million dollars. Sound like a fairy tale? That’s because it is.

Have you ever wished you could blog about one of your personal interests — and that blog would attract a huge audience and allow you to earn in your living while you sleep? It’s a great way to supplement your freelance income or even replace it entirely.
It’s the dream of many bloggers. But few succeed.
Recently, however, I had a chance to talk to two bloggers who are living that dream. They built blogs about their passions and now earn hefty incomes from blog ad revenue.
First off, I saw Bill Belew present at NMX recently about how he built his six-figure business, which earns mostly from ad-clicks — sending customers to advertisers’ websites from his sites.
He operates a network of a dozen different niche websites, which together have seen more than 100 million visitors. He reports he makes a solid five-figure income from each site.
Many of us have creative ideas that we would love to see come to life but we typically do not have the funds to back such dreams. The realization is sometimes hard to stomach especially when faced with reality that your big dream might never come to fruition. Fortunately nowadays finding the funds to support your projects isn’t as hard and unobtainable as it once was thanks to the emergence of crowdfunding.
Crowdfunding is a method in which every day people provide funding, with their own money, to projects that they personally want to see come to life. In other words a mass amount of people are donating money to your project in hopes that you will be able to make your dreams come true. There are various methods of crowdfunding from offering rewards and incentives to backers to just having people donate to you without seeking anything in return. Today I’m here to share with you 12 crowdfunding websites that could help you fund your next project. Below you will see a summary of each website along with how it works, the fees levied, acceptable projects and of course the up side and down side of each website so let’s get started.
It isn’t too common for Wall Street analysts to be very wrong. They have good indicators and past performances upon which to generate their predictions and it’s often more accurate than the weather. With Google’s Q4 2012 analysis, they were wrong by a mile even at Google’s revenue standards.
They reported $14.42 billion in the last quarter and earnings per share of $10.65 on a non-GAAP basis. Analyst had expected that Google would have revenues of $12.3 billion.
“We ended 2012 with a strong quarter,” said Larry Page, CEO of Google. “Revenues were up 36% year-on-year, and 8% quarter-on-quarter. And we hit $50 billion in revenues for the first time last year – not a bad achievement in just a decade and a half. In today’s multi-screen world we face tremendous opportunities as a technology company focused on user benefit. It’s an incredibly exciting time to be at Google.”
If you’re a freelancer in the United States, it’s time to think about income taxes again.
There are some major differences between filing U.S. income taxes as an employee and filing them as a freelancer. Often, these differences take new freelancers by surprise–but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Because data is hard to come by on active usage for top mobile apps, it’s hard to understand how wide a footprint the very highest-grossing games have. Plus, with a Renaissance in mid-core games over more casual titles during the past year, it’s often not the best-known or most widely popular games that perform the best financially. A small set of very loyal players can push a game to the top of the grossing charts, because they individually spend more than less committed players.
Onavo, a Sequoia-backed company that tracks active usage for millions of apps through its mobile data compression products, took at a look at the highest-grossing games. They wanted to see how much market penetration these games have compared to their rank on the top grossing charts. Just for background, Onavo has two products: Extend, which helps consumers save on their mobile bills by compressing data usage and Onavo Count, which tells you how much data you’re using.

The simplest way of describing what Craigslist is all about is to state that it is a one stop resource point for nearly anything and everything that can be offered on the virtual platform.
