The first time we told you about the online show “The Next Internet Millionaire” a couple of months ago it was with a firm hunk of tongue planted firmly in-cheek. But now that the show, created by Joel Comm, has actually launched with its first episode, it looks like we have to start taking these guys seriously.
The question that seems to come up the most with Comm is whether or not his success is real (hey, doubts about your fortune just like "The Apprentince" man Donald Trump—score!). For an in-depth look at the guy, and his credentials check out this interviewwith Comm conducted a couple of years ago by uber-geek Chris Pirillo of Lockergnome fame.
The new "Next Internet Millionaire" production is slicker, more professional, and easily something you might find on broadcast television. Whether that’s good or bad, you decide. The point is, this no longer looks like a fly-by-night hustle job. The show now has a host, legitimate sponsors from the technology space and, dare we say it, a couple of interesting moments. Although the reality show genre is pretty much DOA at this point, emerging online video show creators should note the way this show quickly ramped up the quality—this is your new competition.
