The first episode of "The Next Internet Millionaire" has now been released. I just spent the last hour watching the video and it was quite interesting. While at Affiliate Summit East, I saw Joel Comm a few times, but didn’t get to personally meet with him. I think it was pretty cool of him to throw this type of venture together and the quality and setup is quite professional, especially without the commercialization of being an ad based show on television. (though HackerSafe is a paid sponsor, and there was one short Chitika commercial and a FlowGo ad at the end of the episode) I wouldn’t be surprised if something like this would be aired in the future on something like CNBC, as it would attract the same type of audience of Trump’s Apprentice.
Twelve contestants were selected and sent off the to Commplex and are now in competition to become "The Next Internet Millionaire" and personally work with Joel Comm on his next project. If I had to put my money on any one of the contestants, I would pick Jason Marshall… (who also happens to be from New Jersey). Though it’s only the first episode, Jason slightly reminds me of Troy McClain from the first season of The Apprentice. Troy wasn’t selected as the winner of "The Apprentice", but like Jason Marshal, I think his leadership skills, public speaking and being a generally nice guy, might bring him a long way. I think this will bring him far in the show, but we’ll see what happens!
Overall I like it and I will be sure to catch all the future episodes and see how the season plays out. Watch the first episode below and let me know what you think.
Jason Marshall projects out the real internet marketer's skill and he have more confidence than any other of the contestants.He seems to be the one~
I thought the episode delivered no value…..
Yes, information wise… I also did not get anything out of the show. Just entertainment for the most part.
I guess we have to wait for the next few episodes to see what joel can teach them and us.
The productucion value of the show is surprisingly good. I hope he really gets into the details in the next episodes. I'm sure joel has a lot of good advice to share.
It's an awesome idea for a reality TV series… mainly because it appeals to all of us and internet millionaires are made all the time.
Oh yeah, this is a great show. Why didn't they have something like this earlier? American Internet Idol basically…
Zac,
Thank you for your kind words and vote of confidence for me on the show. I hope you're still watching! I quoted this blog entry in my own blog, and I hope you will go and check it out at http://www.JasonStanleyMarshall.com Thanks!
