Crashed Servers And Plans For Expansion [Hackz Network]
Posted by: Jason Drohn In: Features
For those of you not reading MarketingHackz, you have missed out on a very frantic business owner. :0) Frantic because at the start of the week, we launched NetHackz.com which proceeded to succumb to the digg effect and crash only 13 hours into it… 18,800 uniques in a little over a half a day!
The frantic part was that I had to find hosting in a hurry and push all my client’s work aside so that I could get the site moved over to MediaTemple servers.
With that crisis behind us, it’s time to move on to bigger and brighter things!
Originally, I had planned on putting out a new Hackz site every three or so months. But as word traveled around the blogosphere and in my local area that the Hackz network would be expanding into new areas - writers all of a sudden started popping out of the woodwork. I have a tech investment writer (who is funny as shit and makes a ton of cash in tech stocks), a leadership blogger, a computer blogger, and another couple marketing bloggers…
Aside from making me extremely happy, that means I have a lot of work to do to get these sites set up, draw up contracts, and get the whole thing profitable before I start really paying people to write. Not to mention get advertising in place once some of the sites get ranked!
Other than that, things have been going well. Tech Solution is still pretty busy. I have implemented a referral program of sorts where the referrer gets $250 cash when we close a deal, be it web design or Internet marketing. I haven’t done any formal marketing of it, but plan to in the next couple weeks. If any of you are looking to make some quick cash - send some clients my way and you get paid! Just make sure that they mention your name!
By the way, anyone have any thoughts on writing for the Hackz network? You name the topic, and we can probably accommodate you :0)
