Author: The idea behind this model is very simple – Passengers can ‘Fly, Watch and Save!’ SkyClip is an informative video about the destination in which the passengers are traveling to. These video clips are accompanied by short advertising spots from the local SMBs in the surrounding area. The mission of SkyClip is to merge the airline industry with tourism boards and SMBs of interest to travelers. The SkyClip offering will unite the travel industry worldwide.
An industry that has always been pressured to provide affordable service is now forced to charge passengers for some services that were once free. SkyClip could be considered that much needed boost for which the global passenger airline industry has been searching. The implementation of the SkyClip program can certainly generate greater profits by providing new revenue streams for the airlines which are in desperate need of increasing seat sales while offsetting higher costs.
This model is so promising that it will push most airlines to carry in-flight entertainment modules. Airlines may also be able to offer free flights, or at the minimum, subsidize fees for other services such as WiFi internet connection. SkyClip is a perfect fit for the ailing airline industry. It is one of the most anticipated distribution channels to hit the airways.
”The rationale is simple” says CEO Moe Masoudi. “There are screens right in front of us and when the In-flight entertainment has ended, this is an ideal time for airlines to capitalize on advertising dollars, while at the same time exciting travelers about their destinations with videos showcasing popular tourist spots, as well as great places for food, shopping and entertainment. Furthermore, the opportunity for travelers to access free internet at anytime during the flight by simply watching these showcasing videos is also a tremendous benefit.”
COO Vincent Genuardi is proud to add SkyClip to the already impressive list of products and services BizClip currently offers. “We have positioned ourselves as a one-stop-shop for all channels of video distribution, from online to mobile and now into the skies, where it appears that the opportunities are limitless. In fact this is something that Google, Yahoo, Bing and company could tap into in their efforts to extend their distribution outlets. We believe that our services can enhance a connection to the business advertising pipeline.” Besides distribution, BizClip also meets a wide range of individual needs, by offering various models of video production, from a ‘Do-It-Yourself’ to a ‘Do-It-For-You’ platform and everything in between.
BizClip is now negotiating with several Airlines to launch the SkyClip service.

Some time ago I read an article about the tremendous growth that blogging was experiencing and it really caught my attention. I feel like I have a lot to talk about and a blog seemed like a perfect venue to write some of the things I wanted to share. I took the plunge and created my own blog and I am very glad that I did. Maybe you are considering blogging as well. Here are some answers to the common questions about blogging.
Who Should Blog?
I think that everybody has something to say. If you have something to say then you should have a blog. You might be asking, “What would I write about” Good question. Here are some answers. What are your hobbies? What are you passionate about? What do you consider yourself an expert in? What do you find yourself talking about? Are you interested in politics? Can’t get enough news talk radio or TV? Love football, basketball, baseball, hockey, NASCAR? Fascinated by celebrities? Love to cook? Love to travel? Raising kids? Watching movies? Reading books? You can start a blog about anything that you are interested in. Write good articles and people will come and read them. Most blogs also allow their readers to post comments on the articles, which has the added impact of building a nice online community.
What is a blog?
A blog (short for web log) is like an online journal. There is a lot of free software available that makes running and maintaining a blog very easy. A blog takes the articles you write (called posts) and organizes them by date and category so that people who visit your blog can easily find, read and enjoy them.
Why a blog?
A blog is not only a great way to talk about your ideas; there are also some very real possibilities of making money. There are programs like Google Adsense, Affiliate Programs, Click Banks, and opportunities to sell articles that you write. A blog is also a lot simpler and quicker to set up than a traditional web site.
When should I start?
There is no time like the present! If you are interested in blogging then I want to encourage you to go for it. There are plenty of available options when it comes to getting started. There are places where you can get a free blog site. There are places to get hosted blog sites. If you are planning on trying to make money from your blog than you should probably consider going with a web-hosting company where you pay a small monthly fee. With some of the free sites there are restrictions about the way you monetize (make money) from your site.
How do I get started?
The Internet is filled with information to help you learn all that you need to get your blog off the ground. Do a little research and then take your own plunge. I am sure you will be glad that you did.
Ever wondered where travel bloggers get their money to sustain their travels?
They get the money from writing about and taking pictures of their travels. Basically, they get rich from traveling the world and enjoying their lives. They just document it so that others can read about and enjoy the adventure.
Travel bloggers have taken advantage of some of the most lucrative and easiest business models today, getting rich via Internet blogging.
You have to have at least basic Internet skills, decent writing skills, and a bit of marketing flair. Although, let me stress that all of these can be learned as you go along with your blogging. And the further you blog, the better you become and the more traffic your site will get.
Let me give you an idea on how to blog about your travels and get rich while doing it.
1. Own a Blogsite
Not the free ones like, Blogger, Myspace, etc. Buy a domain. It’s just about 15 bucks. Chump change of an investment to get started raking millions.
All you need to do after that is to install a wordpress theme, put some content and there you go. Money machine!
2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and getting traffic
If you’re not sure what SEO means, don’t worry. You can get help with this by researching it on the Internet. Basically, you just make your site easy to find around the World Wide Web.
Link building, social bookmarking, joining social media networks, and enhancing page ranking… these are some of the process of making your site more accessible. It is one of the most important steps so you will gain an audience and eventually a stream of income.
3. Implement PPC advertising in your site
To get started, put some pay per click advertising on your site. You earn money when readers click on the ad. The more traffic you have the more chances that someone will click the ad. It is free and can be used immediately. You can use Adsense from Google.
Pay per click won’t make you rich but it will help bring in a steady stream of passive income.
4. Be an affiliate marketer
Once you have a steady stream of traffic. What you have to do is advertise an affiliate product. When your reader buys the product you earn a commission for every sale that was referred from your site. You do this by promoting the product just be sure that it relates to your blog posts and content. Marketing a totally irrelevant product is silly and might turn off your audience.
Commission rates are usually high. Mostly, more than half of it will go to your earnings. Affiliate marketing is very profitable indeed.
5. Create and sell your own product
If you have that entrepreneurial spirit, things can get interesting and even more profitable. It is your own product you will sell. You get all the money not just the cut from sales.
The tricky part is deciding what kind of product you are going to create and sell. For starters, you can write a book, create a video, or engineer an offbeat invention. Be creative.
