Streetunes@Go - Turn you page into a money maker

Love music? Love blogging? Then we have the perfect way for you to make some easy cash!


Utilizing the absolute latest in internet technology, Streetunes proudly introduces Streetunes2GO, a unique service which lets you sell ringtones on your blog, page or profile with ease, using a friendly Flash badge.


You're automatically refreshed with new songs each week, it doesn't costs you anything at any point, and you earn a 27.5% referral fee from every song downloaded off your page!


Still interested? Here are the details.

First off, go to Streetunes2go and sign up for Streetunes account. Click the GRAB IT! icon and fill out a username, password, e-mail, and the e-mail listed on your PayPal account. If you don’t have a PayPal account you can sign up for one here- this step is important because it’s how we pay you!

Then go to the next screen and choose from two colorful, attractive badge models- I can’t tell you which one to take- that would be like picking between my children. Finally, copy the html code provided on the final screen, and you’re ready to go!

You’ve just decided to take part in one of the most cutting edge, innovations in the way music is distributed. However, while these Streetunes2go badges featuring our five hottest ring tones of each week practically sell themselves, we still have some tips to help you maximize your earning potential.


1. Remember to put badges on all your pages. We know when it comes to the internet you’re seriously connected, so put a badge on your MySpace page, Facebook, Blogger, WordPress, etc. to assure that all your traffic is exposed to your badges. For a full list of all the sites you can stick badges on and shortcuts how, check out our nifty How to Page.

2. Share with you readers what you’re putting on your page. Write a post explaining how you found this cool, convenient new way to download ring tones. No need to hard sell or push product like it’s Girl Scout cookies; just in your own voice explain to your readers that you’re putting the badge up, and if they’re interested in ring tones, it’s worth checking out. And whenever there’s an update in what Streetunes2Go can offer, keep your readers abreast of that as well in a brief mention.


3. Double check that your readers can see the badge. Whether its real estate or your girlfriend, the key to everything is location, location, location; as you all know if something isn’t front and center on a website, it often gets lost in the shuffle. While we recommend, you keep badges towards the top of the page- that’s how you’ll make the most money, if you don’t though, take advantage of our “Great Ring Tones Below!” arrow banner that you can put at the top of your webpage without taking up an unreasonable amount of space.

Other things to keep in mind:

You can track your earning. Login on the Streetunes2Go website and go to the “Your Statistics” page to find out up-to-date information about badge locations, items that have been downloaded, and your cut- 27.5%. Referral fees will be paid on a monthly basis, approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar month, via PayPal.com or by a check mailed to your postal address. If you don’t meet the minimal referral fee, the payment will roll over to the next month.

You can be awarded valuable one way links. Through our Preferred Affiliates Rewards Program, the more ring tones your badges sell, the more links to your websites we’ll post on our websites. The EglooMedia family of websites have a level 4 rating, with such destinations as The Cell Freak, HitChaser, and CelebSlap! generating thousands of hits a day. Being linked to these websites would not only lead to more exposure to your badges, but to the content on your sites in general.

The pocket film 95 manifesto

Courtesy of my Cell Freak Blog

Ever wake up one day and feel like starting a film movement?


Today I realized that with the second annual Pocket Film Festival just being held in Paris, it's time for a movement to be started around cell phone video. For those of you not in the know, movies made from cell phone footage or pocket films, so noting their diminutive size, have probably been around since video camera cell phones were first put on the market back in November of 2000, but it’s only the last couple of years that the art form has started to be formally recognized.


As a medium, cell phone video still has some major problems; the visuals look grainy and washed out; the phone’s microphone has no way to distinguish background noise- so most dialogue needs to be rerecorded in editing; and even getting to the editing process is a task. Most video editing programs still don’t recognize phone video, so uploading the footage becomes a tedious conversion process.


But pocket film also has some distinct advantages; some people enjoy the washed out visuals likening it to impressionist art; there’s a much greater sense of movement than most of the self shot footage on YouTube, which is usually just someone sitting in front of a stationary web camera talking. But above all, the biggest selling point is the freedom and accessibility; no matter how crap the sound and visual, if you’ve got the storytelling chops, there’s always the chance your inner filmmaker will shine through anyway.


Trying to maximize those advantages this is what I came up with; borrowing heavily from Dogme 95, the movement created by Breaking the Waves/Dogville director Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, which consist of ten rules meant to strip cinema of special effects and post production gloss, instead focusing on story and acting; theoretically giving the viewer a purer movie going experience. While the veracity of the ideals is debatable, the Dogme 95 technique also happens to give filmmakers with severe financial limitations the discipline and structure to make a quality film for next to nothing.


Rule 1: Shout outs are okay, but no props. All scenes must be shot on location and any props used need to be native to the environment.

Rule 2: If a tree falls in the forest, you must hear it. No fixing audio in post; particularly tricky given the problems with cell phone microphones but the idea is to embrace the reality of the situation, not run from it.

Rule 3: Lose the tripod. If you’re not strong enough to hold up a cell phone, shooting the movie is probably the least of your problems.

Rule 4: Let there be light… naturally so. It’s a bright idea only to use found sources, throw everything you know about three point lighting out the window.

Rule 5: If you must smoke, no lights.
Filters and other optical tricks are prohibited.

Rule 6: Bullets are cheap, but not fake ones. Avoid all superficial action, you can’t afford it anyway.

Rule 7: The present is to be accounted for. Right here and now means your movie won’t have to worry about procuring exotic or period costumes.

Rule 8: Closing the loophole for silly costumes.
No genre flicks.

Rule 9: Must be shot on cell phone camera.

Rule 10: No taking credit. If you’re able to follow all those rules and still produce a product you’re proud of, you’re in line for much bigger and better things.
