Corey Creed of Hippo Internet Marketing discusses how to make money online. This is part 2 of a series that was originally presented at Charlotte BarCamp on January 24, 2009.

Oh, I forgot to mention that for some reason this podcast has a little bit of a popping noise. You also can hear me breathing a little for some reason. I think I had the mic a little too close to my mouth. I cleaned it up some, but I promise to do better next time. I just could not bring myself to record the entire hour over again.

Nicely summarized. I’m in the pitching for ad-space to vendors right now. One thing I didn’t hear mentioned is gaining products for review on your site, for me that can save me a bit of money on gear.

Excellent podcast. Everyone else just talks about putting Google ads on a site to monetize but you bring out a bunch other other way better ways.
