    Hey everyone,

    I've taken up the Rubik's Cube as a serious hobby and now I am trying to find ways to profit from it. First I help a contest where if you subscribe to my YouTube Channel you enter to win $10 in new Rubik's Cube stickers (contest is still going and I have 36 subscribers as of right now).

    My second idea came to me today. I recently bought an AuctionAds t-shirt and I figured, why not wear it and do a "Sponsored Solve"?

    I put my AuctionAds referral url in the description of the solve and did a decent solve. Everyone likes to watch people solve the Rubik's Cube and everyone thinks it's cool...do you think I can benefit from this?

    I think it's a great idea - it's something you love, so why not try to make money with it? I would suggest writing a press release announcing your contest and distributing it online. Be sure to include a link to your site and information that will catch peoples' attention to maximize the effect of your release.
