One man makes 60k from a website


Capital Radio producer Dave Moses has been head hunted not once but twice since having his profile on the Radio Talent website; earning a staggering 62,000% return on his investment; slightly better than the bank of England.

Currently working in the central London hub for both 95.8 Capital FM and the new Capital Radio Network, Dave arguably owes much of his career success to Radio Talent; or more accurately to himself for taking responsibility for his own marketing and investing wisely.

Before it all started, Dave was a DJ at Win FM where he presented the drive time show, he was there for quite a while before realising he was actually quite rubbish and nobody liked him. This though, was all about to change.

He decides to Join Radio Talent for a laugh

For a bet, Dave decided to join Radio Talent and create some awareness for his new found production skills; he had in his spare time purchased a mixing desk from the electronics specialist Maplin and and was learning the art of fading in and also fading out.

Several weeks later after hearing his demo on Radio Talent he was head hunted by the programme director of Berkshire and North Hampshire's 2 TEN FM, as Dave recalls it was there that things started to pick up for him:
Things really started to pick up for me from then Dave says.

Until the magical call, Dave was thinking he might spend the rest of his life in Winchester at Win FM:

Win FM was so small I was worried I might go out for lunch one day and return to find it had blown away in the wind" Dave jokes wittily.

A gift for us all

Soon after the call from the mighty GCAP he was then head hunted by an Australian man and ended up landing a dream job at the country's biggest radio station 95.8 Capital FM.

And all because of his radio talent profile?

Dave spoke of this elation:.

"I know it's amazing" he minced.

But that's not the end of the story. Today Dave emailed Radio Talnt to say that he was about to be spotted a THIRD time by a really important Capital Radio North of England Regional Programme Director.

According to Dave, the PD (who we won't mention as he will be spammed) was about to employ Dave before realising he already worked for the same company Dave says:
"He was about to give me a gig and then realised I already worked for the company"


Dave pictured here is very grateful that Radio Talent made direct and significant impact on his career, and stated that he probably would not be at Capital if it wasn't for them.

As a gift he bought Radio Talent some bananas.

WIKI and reference section
(i) The picture of the man with the beard is not Dave it is a man called Moses. Dave's second name is Moses, which we thought was brilliantly witty, because we found a picture of Moses.
(ii) Win FM was a radio station based in the town of Winchester in Hampshire England. The cunning creators of the station cleverly created an abbreviation to name it WIN utilising only three of the available ten letters of the town it broadcast to. However at the same time they also discovered that the word WIN was also a  word which all people liked. This legendary marketing pun was a huge global success and the creator of the name now works for global advertising agency Saatchi and Saatchi.

(iv) If you are a clever talented individual like Dave and think it's about time you got recognised you too can try and make as much money as him here.

(v) By the way if you think you are smart and can do maths, you can work out how much money Dave has made from his investment. However we are not counting his current salary as that would be crass, nor are we divulging how long it took nor how much he earned in each job, so there.
