For the past several days, I’ve been talking about a new site that I planned to roll out for college students. It’s finally ready: ConquerCollege.com
The centerpiece of the site is the grade calculator that has been on my personal site for the past 9 years. However, I’ve added a bunch of new stuff to turn it into a complete site. In addition to the grade calculator, you’ll find
- A list of job hunting resources: Websites that allow you to post a resume, search jobs, and take advantage of their career-development resources. I’ve uncovered some great resources for locating jobs in niche markets such as sports, acting, modeling, theatre, dance and freelance design work. In most cases, access to the sites are free. There’s also a set of job hunting tutorials provided by the site’s content partner ResumeEdge.com
These resources should be very useful to job hunters, whether or not you are a college student.
- A bookstore where you can buy not only books and exam study guides, but computers, cameras, calculators and more. All credit card processing and shipping is handled through Amazon.com
.
- A college application essay tutorial that will teach you how to write a winning essay on your application to college, graduate school, MBA school, law school, or medical school. Tutorial is provided by the site’s content partner EssayEdge.com
- A new blog where I’ll share my experience as a former college faculty member. I hope to teach students how to improve their grades by improving their relationships with their professors (no, I’m not suggesting they sleep with their profs, get your mind out of the gutter).
This is another of my affiliate-marketing sites… when people make purchases through Conquer College, I get commission. I hope to build some more of these during the times I’m not busy working on my paid web-programming projects, in order to create some recurring streams of passive income. You’ve seen a few of these from me already – the tube top store, the Romania store, the discount dining site – and I have a couple more in the works.
So, if you’re in college or are planning to go to college, check out the site. I think you’ll find it useful. Thanks!
