Alhamduillah, something good out of this recession!

BestBuy tried to target Muslim consumers in their Black Friday ads.

Now, the question is: Would you buy from BestBuy because of this ad?

Note:

A few years back IKEA in Canada targeted Muslim in their ads, so do many other businesses.

Here is a new type of income: Making money from your Twitter followers or Facebook friends.

So how much your friends worth?

Well, according to IBM, 948 dollars.

In New York Times’ article, it mentioned that in October 2009, Twitter user John Chow made around $3,000 from ads income, while some celebrities can reach $10,000 by sending a single message.

Of course, as Muslims you have to be careful of ads that may not fit the Halal standard. That’s why we hope Muslims can form their own ads network. One attempt we started is HalalBuzz.com, where you can earn 33% commissions for referring ad buyers to HalalBuzz.
