I apologize for the delay, but Da Hustler has encountered some technical difficulties in preparation for this week’s Hustle Highlight.
Blame Bill and Microsoft!
He strikes again, causing my video drivers to get screwed up all by themselves and for no reason at all. But rest assured, Da Hustler is hard at work to deliver the great reviews you have come to expect.
This week, Da Hustler introduces something new to the Hustle Highlight series: video reviews! This presentation chronicles a snapshot of the site being reviewed, so years from now you can see how the hustle has been enhanced over time and where it is present day. Also, you will see that Da Hustler has raised the bar and added a quick summary of the highlighted website and its related stats. This is something that will undoubtedly be copied throughout the blogging world, as it gives pertinent information instead of just a bland personal review. Why is the site noteworthy? How long has it been around? What are some of the best features? You may have seen reviews on other sites, but Da Hustler is the only one bringing you what you want and need, all in one place. Just remember you saw it here first!
My first video Highlight shines the light on OneYearGoal.com. This site is run by a ‘regular’ guy whose goal is to make $100,000 over the course of one year, mainly using online hustles. **Caution: This video is LOOOUD and will wake the dead, so be sure to adjust your speakers accordingly. (sorry about this, I do know about it and future videos will be at a normal level)

Hustle on OneYearGoal!
*These figures may have risen/fallen since the video was originally produced.
Oh no he didn’t!
No I haven’t lost my mind (not officially anyway). If you take a look at the title of this Hustle Highlight, you might be wondering if it is what it appears to be. Well it is — but not really. Straddling the lines of public outrage and personal creativity, I bring to you the focus of the Highlight this week, NiggyBuzz Blog:
When I first came across this blog, because of the name I just had to see what the heck this guy was about — only it isn’t a guy! The site is run by a woman named Inga, and I cannot immediately tell what country she is from. Other than the name, the site is actualy quite attractive — I haven’t seen this combination of colors look so good on the net as of yet. It really works for Inga, and I believe that there may be copycats once she gets bigger.
Of course a lot of my hustlers out there want to know the story behond the name. I did too, and luckily for us Mrs. Inga was gracious enough to make a whole post about it. Here is a quote from her site:
Niggy was my very first username on net and I still use it for my PTR Programs (Paid To Read), I am owner of 5.
Where did I got that name? Hehehe… My name is Inga. Time to time I write SMS to my husband and when I write fast (when I want say more things in less words and faster LOL), I write very wrong, with lot of typos. So one day I wrote at end of SMS not Inga as usually but Nigga (typo!). Later he show me that message and we was laughing and then – I found if I change last character to “y” it could be nice nickname for me (we just got our very first internet connection). That’s the all story!
I swear if it were anyone else — especially if they were from the states — I would not only be very skeptical, but boycott the site because of pure stupidity. But Inga really does pull it off, and I believe her story.
NiggyBuzz Blog has a lot going for it. I like that the most recent post from each category is posted at the top of each page, and it is not very intrusive. Navigation is smooth and because it is a three-column site, as you scroll more helpful information can be found on the right hand side of the screen. There is a ‘Users Online’ feature on the rightmost column, but it’s really not needed and can be removed. Ad networks are displayed and blend in well with the layout. There’s a couple of social networking buttons at the top right of the page, and although not intrusive, they seem to clash with the layout a bit. At the very bottom of the page, however, there are many, many more networks, but the layout is superb — That take up only two rows and make a perfect spot for that kind of information. Inga gets cool points for that.
The information appears to be very well written, more in a conversational format than anything else. NiggyBuzz is definitely different from your everyday ‘make money online’ site, and that is what is sorely needed in this genre.

Best Feature: The Name (very marketable)
Worst Feature: The Name (can easily give the wrong impression); also there are some WordPress database errors on a couple of pages that should be cleared up (they’ve been there for a while it seems).
Why you should visit this site: Inga seems to be a very sincere, sweet person who also wants to make money online. The site’s layout is pleasant and good information can be found within.
