University started 3 weeks ago, so its been a crazy few weeks. The real workload only starts now unfortunately.

All through the past few weeks, I’ve been all “business”-y. I’ve been hard at work on a web-related business plan for an innovation competition. It has so far been interesting experience. It’s great being able to apply my entrepreneurship and marketing studies I did in the first semester of this year. I have also been getting free stuff from the foundation hosting the competition. Free candy, juices. Oh and textbooks too.

It has to be done in 2 weeks. Stressing a bit about it. Almost done, but it feels “empty”. Not trying to brag or anything, but it’s difficult to create a cashflow statement or a marketing campaign for a new product, especially when its supposed to cater to EVERYONE, not a niche market.

Tweekly.fm has been growing rapidly this past few weeks, hitting almost 200 000 pageviews a month. I’ve tried different ways to monetize. Tried doing it on my own, but no one seemed interested. Then I added adgator, but it only monetized south african traffic. 80% of Tweekly.fm traffic comes from USA. I then tried Google Adsense again. So far it is actually doing rather well. I’m going to continue using it until someone makes me an offer for ads, or when I add some sort of premium service in the future.

So yeah, that’s that for now.
