The Next Internet Millionaire- Finally an Interesting Reality Series
Written by Pablo Palatnik on August 20, 2007
Joel Comm, one of internet’s most popular entrepreneurs within the industry has launched a reality show online, The Next Internet Millionaire. I had the chance to see Joel speak at the Affiliate Summit here in Miami this summer.
Joel has done some impressive things online such as start ClassicGames.com which was acquired by Yahoo! in 97’ and now is Yahoo! Games. Also, Joel wrote a NY Time Best-Seller book, The Adsense Code.
This is pretty exciting as it’s at least the first time a show online launches that I’ll be watching every time there is a new episode. There are 12 contestants competing for a grand prize of 25k cash.
The first episode is already out and I enjoyed it. The most interesting I found in the episode that I think we can ALL apply is SimpleOlogy, the simple science of getting what you want. The example put fourth was to make two points, map out your day, and make a point from start to finish. For every time you do something to meet your end goal in your day, you keep making that line straight. Every time you deviate from that point, you make the line skewed. The shortest way between two points is a straight line.
Thought of the day: In our complicated lives, we forget the simple things can make the biggest difference.
Watch the first episode HERE.

I was not as thrilled with the first episode as you were. I admire the attempt, but I feel like the contestants are not worthy enough to be a JV for Joel Comm.
Hopefully they can prove me wrong in later episodes.

I was impressed with the show for being an online series, but i have to completley agree with you. I didnt see any “internet stars” in the show, atleast it doesnt seem that way for now.
Funny to see though that the simpleology site doesnt user Hacker Safe though.
