Jeremy "ShoeMoney" Schoemaker (born May 31, 1974) is a web entrepreneur, founder of ShoeMoney Media and PAR Program, and co-founder of the AuctionAds service.[1][2] He is a frequent speaker at search engine marketing and affiliate conferences.[3] He also co-founded the Elite Retreat, an annual industry expert conference, with Lee Dodd.[4]
Slate stated on October 1, 2008, that blogger Shoemoney had become famous when he posted his picture with a $132,994.97 cheque he had received from Google AdSense for just one month's worth of clicks.[5]
Education and career
[edit]While in attendance at Western Illinois University, Schoemaker founded his first business, making Macintosh gaming sites.[3] At its peak, NextPimp.com saw an average of 150,000 unique views per day.[6] Schoemaker also started his blog, ShoeMoney, in 2003, in which he journals about how to make a living from the Internet, including direct ad sales and affiliate marketing. ShoeMoney's blog was named Best Affiliate Marketing Blog of 2006 by Search Engine Journal.[7] In 2010, Schoemaker won Fast Company's Influence Project, getting more than 500,000 clicks by tapping into his online followers.[8]
In March 2007, Shoemaker and his business partner David Dellanave launched AuctionAds,[9] an eBay affiliate service that allows users to display live eBay auctions on their websites.[1] The service was named the "eBay Most Innovative Application-Buyer" at the 6th annual eBay Developers Conference.[10] In July 2007, Schoemaker sold his majority ownership in AuctionAds to the performance marketing company MediaWhiz for 17 million dollars.[11]
In 2012, Schoemaker founded PAR (People Acquisition and Retention) Program, a monthly subscription service for e-commerce websites.[12] GoSocial, an international media marketing company, acquired PAR Program for $12 million in 2015.[13]
Schoemaker self-published his autobiography, Nothing’s Changed But My Change: The ShoeMoney Story, in January 2013 on Amazon.com.[2][14]
Legal
[edit]On April 7, 2009, ShoeMoney Media Group filed suit against Keyen Farrell, a Google Adwords account specialist, to protect the ShoeMoney Trademark.[15] Farrell was affiliated with a website using the term "shoemoney" in its advertisements without authorization from the ShoeMoney Media Group. In June 2009, Farrell countersued Schoemaker for defamation of reputation.[16] Farrel withdrew his counter-suit in July and the case was settled in August 2009.[17]
Philanthropy
[edit]Schoemaker routinely raises money for charity by hosting an auction in which he agrees to wear the winning company's branded T-shirt exclusively to an Affiliate Summit event.[18] He began hosting these auctions in 2009, and has since raised over $80,000.[19]
Personal life
[edit]Schoemaker lives in Lincoln, Nebraska.[20]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
