Amanda Lord and Geoff Hughes - Fund It Frog

Toby Beresford - Nudge London

The internet and social networking sites like Facebook present lots of opportunities; but how can you make money from them? I wanted to know, so I interviewed Amanda, Geoff and Toby. Amanda and Geoff’s business, Fund It Frog, is a Facebook application. The way it works is that you buy items via Facebook and Fund It Frog will give some of the money from your purchase to a charity of your choice, at no extra cost to you. Fund It Frog is making money and so are hundreds of charities nominated by Facebook users.

So is this a good way of making money from the net? I asked social media expert Toby, who commented on Geoff and Amanda’s business and gave some hot tips as to capitalising on the opportunities out there. Whether you’re a blogger, a Facebooker or MySpacer, there are thousands of ways to cash in on this phenomenon and anyone can do it, even me: as a result of Toby’s advice, I’m thinking up all sorts of ideas to make money from this blog.

 Pete Vernon, founder of Eze Talk and Sophiya Bailey from The Voice, together with a chat with Roger Hamilton

 Eze Talking….that’s what we did here. Pete Vernon is in telecoms and here he accuses me of making Simon Cowell rich when I could be using that money to make myself rich. Make no sense? Listen to what he says. He’s all about empowering the man on the street and putting something back into the community and as he explains it, there’s nothing to stop you making money along the way.

Sophia from The Voice newspaper was also in on the show and she talks about how she turned her life around and managed to get headhunted by The Voice.

I also interviewed legendary business coach and speaker Roger Hamilton about the concept of Wealth Dynamics.
