Projects

Posted on August 8, 2007

I have undertaken several projects in 2005, 06, and 07 which are currently active. These projects are for academic purposes or are fueled by a passion for helping people and building online communities which can aid in a personal therapeutic capacity as well as research.

· LakeWallenpaupack.info – an out-of-date experiment in Google Adsense which has proven to be a resource for users as well as generating a small revenue stream. Redesign and development of this property may come in the future.

· CampSkycrest.info – Alumni Website for a long gone summer camp in the Poconos reaching out to former campers and staff members.

· SocialSciencesNet.com – Social Science Nets, LLC, a company responsible for the growth and implementation of social networks that are online support groups for the respective diseases of:

o Cancer – CancerSupportNet.com (Flagship Network coming in Q3 2007)

o HIV – HIVSupportNet.com

o Diabetes – DiabetesSupportNet.com

· HostingProfessionals.net – An experiment in Webhosting in 2007. The goal was to test the financial barrier to entry with this business model, build some exposure, and measure the ROI.

o The test: How inexpensively one can build a hosting business with basic free or barely free resources, get up and running as quickly as possible, and generate business generating a fast ROI.

o Due to the transaction model involved, this test will fall under the Social Science Nets, LLC umbrella.

· ShopFifthAve.com, ShopNYCOnline.com, and TheCampList.com are all going to be future experiments in affiliate marketing and sales.

 A new project underway is www.totaltrafficstore.com - a targeted traffic test, which neither makes use of traditional PPC or SEO
