Welcome to the AppBank blog! In this blog, I’ll be discussing various topics ranging from how people can make money to running a business in a down economy. Hopefully, you’ll find the postings helpful and engaging.
First off, I’d like to share my background with you and why I started AppBank. In 2000, I co-founded a domain management company called Oversee.net and grew the company to over $200M in revenues. In 2007, we took private equity money in a $150M round, and since then I moved from LA with my wife to create this startup. The idea arrived over the holidays in 2008 over Thanksgiving dinner when our niece, who’s in college, was telling us about how she was creating cool Facebook quizzes and polls for her peers. In the next breath, she started complaining about how she had no extra money to go shopping or eat out. My wife and I thought about this and thought, “Why shouldn’t she get paid for all the people she’s reaching on Facebook with her application?” After that night, we got started on creating AppBank and the company was officially formed in April 2009.
Fast forward 9 months and here we are in the midst of the 2009 holiday season.
We’re still dealing with a recessionary economy so money is pretty tight for a lot of people and coming up with extra cash can be difficult. To address this, people are looking for fun, creative ways to bring in a few extra dollars so that they can give a bit more to their friends, family members, and favorite charities. At AppBank, everyone from college students to stay-at-home moms are using our service to make up to $2,500 a month in their spare time through AppBank’s innovative ad-share model. If you’re interested in making some extra cash during this holiday season, check out www.appbank.com. Also, if you want to hear what others are saying about AppBank, be sure to take a look at some of our most recent coverage in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and PC World. Over 30,000 are currently using the service to make money for the holidays – shouldn’t you be one of them?
