I received an email from Andrew of Goldigg. He explained an interesting offer to me, and it was a premier membership to his new web-business, Goldigg. It is similar to Digg in that you can submit and vote articles up to promote various works which you believe need to be seen. I decided to join because this seemed like a very interesting opportunity, and I wanted to be a part of it.

First of all, I enjoy getting in new things on ground level because that opens up a ton of opportunities for you. Also, it is a very unique idea and because it is so young, there is only one way it can go. Up.

What Is Goldigg?

If you browse the About section you will find everything you need to know:

To become a member of Goldigg.com it will cost $100. Once you are a member you can quickly gain that back by placing ads in your story submissions, by charging to submit someone’s story, having others pay you to vote, or by selling your account. Almost anything is possible to generate income for yourself.

Many people are skeptical about the startup price, but because of what he claims to do with the money, it does not seem all that bad.

I created this site so that I can earn some money to donate to a charity (Modest Needs), to pay for college, and to re-launch another venture that didn’t succeed in the past because of my limited resources.

Also, the fact that he is only allowing 5,000 members, creates a sense of urgency and importance for those who were able to and decided to join.

You can read the extensive list of terms and a small FAQ if you read the About section.

The Actual Site

They layout is very basic and extremely easy to navigate and utilize. The color scheme could use some work, but overall it has a nice feel to it.

If you have not taken a look at Goldigg yet, I recommend doing so. First of all, he is still offering a few more free memberships if you contact him in the near future. Otherwise, be prepared to pay the $100 to sign up.
