Marc Ostrofsky Launches Video Contest Encouraging Entrepreneurship with Gen Z (Generation Zuckerberg)
HOUSTON (Feb. 2, 2011) -- Marc Ostrofsky, Internet entrepreneur, founder of the recently-formed Razor Media Group, and author of Get Rich Click! is excited to launch a video contest encouraging frustrated students with the desire to be their own boss to embrace their "Gen Z" passion for entrepreneurship.
The contest, titled R U Gen Z (Generation Zuckerberg), seeks to give students an outlet to express their fears with today's unpredictable economy and limited corporate job opportunities; to discuss alternatives and benefits of being their own boss; and to show initiative in becoming an internet entrepreneur.
Prizes for the Gen Z winners, include:
* People's Choice Award: $1,000
* Funniest Video Award: $1,000
* Most creative way to incorporate Get Rich Click and/or Marc Ostrofsky: $1,000
Judging and selection will be based on messaging quality, level of entertainment, originality, number of views and comments on YouTube, and sharing.
"While students today are uneasy over the job market, they do not understand that in this period of economic fluctuation, armed with the immeasurable online resources, students are actually presented with an opportunity unlike any generation before," said Ostrofsky. "The R U Gen Z contest seeks to unnerve, entertain and prove that those who work for themselves will create the next generation of great wealth."
Ostrofsky shares his entire treasure trove of information in a comprehensive how-to guide: GET RICH CLICK! The Ultimate Guide to Making Money on the Internet (Razor Media Group: May 2, 2011, $19.95). In addition to his own experience, he draws on hundreds of real-life stories from other Internet entrepreneurs of all ages to show how easily and quickly one can make money on a full- or part-time basis.
Razor Media Group has partnered with the country's top undergraduate entrepreneur program, the University of Houston's Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship, to create an advisory board of students that give a "Gen Z" mentality to the marketing, promotion and judging of the R U Gen Z video contest.
"The job market sucks, the jobs that you can get suck, moving back in with your parents in the suburbs sucks. What doesn't suck is being your own boss before you even graduate college," said Armen Suny, R U Gen Z advisory board member and University of Houston student. "This contest will demonstrate the power of the internet and opportunities for students like myself."
The R U Gen Z video contest is seeking Gen Z internet enthusiasts, interested in finding their entrepreneurial passion and fighting for it. To submit a contest entry, upload your video to http://www.getrichclick.com/rugenz.
