Pixelheadonline Blog Anniversary

Posted by Pixelhead

Today the blog for Pixelheadonline is a year old. As many of you know, the idea for Pixelheadonline was originally to be a pixel advertising site where advertisers could purchase advertising on pictures of my head. Instead of just buying advertising on a page, advertisers would buy spots on a silhouette of my head or something like that any way. The original idea for Pixelheadonline was on a Body Billboard Post.

So first there was a directory, then there was the blog. The url for the blog was blog.pixelheadonline.com, but was transfered over to the sub-domain within several weeks.

The first post on the blog was Hard Money Lenders, a site review of a premium submission to the directory. Hard money lenders for FYI are lenders that lend money to investors who buy real estate that is bought to be flipped. The hard money loans are not made by traditional money lenders, but private money lenders or individuals that invest in real estate. Check the post out and the site for more info on hard money and flipping houses.

What Now?

So a year has passed, and what happens now? I would still like to do something with pixel advertising, but who knows. I have also thought that the name sounds like it could be a graphics design site or a digital photography site. Both of which I have very limited knowledge of, so those ideas seem unlikely.

Got any ideas or suggestions?

Congrats on one year of blogging! I’m barely scrapping by ready to hit 3 months here and it has been hard. Pixel to me does remind me of graphics or something to do with anything online. But you do have the “head” part in there! There are so many pixel websites coming up, you could still do your old idea but you’ve got to give it a little more twist to get it off the ground.

i have seen many such pixel ad sites recently where people buy spot for $10 and finally when all spots are sold than one lucky winner wins a huge sum of money.

They are nice concepts to earn lots of money for the owner and I guess you should give it a shot on one particular page of your blog. The name is cool so use it for regular blogging. You are not well versed with graphics so never enter into that so easily but for now you can atleast choose different blogs which are changing there themes and write on them as how they got famous with new themes.

Designing might be difficult but commenting on a design is great idea. There are many bloggers using cool themes. Why not talk about how one can earn good daily readers with good designs?

just a thought!

GnomeyNewt – Hmm I will have to muster up both time and resources for it.

CompuWorld – I like the idea of reviewing site designs, but I may not be the best judge of that either. Although, I do seem to know a design that I like when I see it.
The 10 dollar pixel raffle page sounds interesting too…hmmm

Congratulations with reaching a year , the first major milestone for any blog if you ask me, hehe.

As for what to go for I would have said graphics design or photography as well if judged by the name, but as you said yourself that wouldn’t really work out. If you’d have an interest in doing either of them though you could take your reader along through your process of learning rather than making the blog completely dedicated to it.

Slevi, I like the idea bringing the readers along on my learning experience. As I have seen on other posts, I believe the readers would be willing and able to help me in my photography learning experience…sounds like an excuse to get that Nikon I have had my eye on anyway.lol

Haha, well, at least you got the first step in the learning process covered . You picked it a pretty nice brand for camera’s there, looking at the price of their average camera an excuse to get it does come in handy, hehe.

Yes, I saw the tv commercial where Nikon gave a bunch of the Nikon cameras(d40 or d50 I believe) to the residents of a small town to show that anyone could take a great picture. I kind of like the d80 with 10.2 mega pixels, but it might be a bit more camera than I need. Further research is needed I guess.
