Two College Students Sell Over $10,000 Of "goldenseconds" On Their Web Site To Pay For College Educations

Just a few weeks ago Patrick Falls and Ricky Liunarto launched GoldenSecond.com, hoping to sell advertisers spots on goldenseconds.com for video commercials. The site was started as an experiment, but since its launch the site has made over $10,000 and become a viral sensation on the internet.

The founders have made available 1,000,000 seconds for purchase starting at one dollar ($1) per-second. They plan to apply the proceeds made from the site to their college education. At one dollar per second advertisers receive a permanent spot on goldenseconds.com and have the option to increase exposure of their video by increasing the per-second amount paid. The current high-bidder and holder of the number one spot on the GoldenSeconds homepage is PrintsMadeEasy.com, with a thirty-second clip at the per second price of three dollars ($3.05).

By posting a video on goldenseconds.com, advertisers receive a fully customizable profile page that includes the video in streaming Flash format, a rating system and comment engine.

The founders have been receiving an overwelhming response regarding video posting, partnerships and even offers to purchase the goldenseconds.com web site. The founders have stated that the site is not for sale.

Some of the current customers include PrintsMadeEasy.com, AmazeFilms, duanamic design, Rukus Avenue Records, BDK USA, Rasik Bookstore, Electra Cash and Automated Clearing House.

The site's twenty-two categories include, Autos & Vehicle, Books & Literature, Clothing & Fashion, Communications, Computers & Electronics, Events, Gambling, Gaming, Health & Body, Household, Internet, Jewelry, Lifestyle, Media & Advertising, Movies & Entertainment, Music, Politics, Services, Sports, Travel and Everything Else.
