    Best strategies for making money on the App Store?

    I've spent decades trying to make money on the internet, but the thing that has worked the best for me is the App Store. I don't make much, just a few hundred per month, but it's been reliable whereas all other internet marketing strategies failed for me. I'd like to expand out of my tiny...

    At least I got the link before it got taken down. I've given you more than a few comments to moderate. Glad I found your blog!

    Hey I'm glad I found your blog. I'm a beginning-ish iOS dev and my journey seems pretty close to yours. I'll see you in there in your comments section!

    REAL ESTATE 
    Nice having you back here. I know how hard it is to stay on track - you're all motivated then time passes, none of your peers are doing anything particularly exceptional, and you slip back to autopilot. Happens all the time. I've been investing in real estate for about 8 years. I've been...

    The case for Real Estate over the Fastlane Strategy

    My main argument here is to target a specific segment of the real estate market: the lower end and mobile homes. I've been to places in Pittsburgh where the houses can be bought for less than $20,000 and rent for $500. That's a 30% return, and the property pays for itself in 3-4 years. Owning...

    The case for Real Estate over the Fastlane Strategy

    Here is the Fastlane strategy as I understand it: 1) Get rich making & selling a business 2) Invest those proceeds in "safe" government bonds 3) Collect a monthly pain free cashflow for eternity My main problems with this strategy are thus: 1) Getting millions of dollars isn't exactly a...

    MLM or Network Marketing Schemes, Cringe, and More

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I think the main problem (both tactically and morally) is that in MLM you don't provide value. You don't bring anything to anyone. Sure there's always some sort of product, but no one gets rich selling the products. You get rich getting a big "downstream" of new suckers to pay the upfront fees...

    Fastlane members success stories? What ever happened to that?????

    EXECUTION 
    I've thought this as well - I'd like to see more recent examples of business success. MJ definitely has the entrepreneurial heart, but unfortunately I don't think his business example is particularly helpful. He got in on a great domain name when it probably cost next to nothing and before the...

    Is the need for unique content dead?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm really just reacting to his original reply to me (my bolding): "excellent mind set. do you want me to prechew your food for you to. not my optin. the guy took the time to write the report and do the test. I am not going to rob him of his effort because people are too scared or lazy to fill...

    See? That wasn't so hard. Much more attractive than "HEY STRANGER REACH YOUR HAND IN THIS BOX I'M NOT TELLING YOU WHAT'S INSIDE IT BUT IT'LL REALLY HELP ME OUT KTHX"

    Is the need for unique content dead?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think you might have a tough time getting people to opt in to spam just to answer your forum question. If you really want answers, can't you summarize the report and let people give you their opinions?

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    I read the book a few months ago, spent some time on the forum, and am working on rereading it. Thanks for writing it and providing this forum!

    Sorry, But MJ (or the forum) Can't Make Your Life Decisions For You!!

    GOLD! 
    I think it's unreasonable to expect someone who is inundated with requests for his limited time to drop whatever he's doing and spend hours answering everyone's questions *FOR FREE* no less. Why should MJ have to do this? If he has the time and desires to he can contribute on the forum here and...

    Fastlane Plan-- Sports

    I do love the idea of selling to a big company with deep pockets like ESPN or NFL. I guess the most important thing to do is really differentiate yourself from the other players out there. Best of luck!

    How To Find Customer Needs - the missing chapter!

    I like the idea of taking something offline and bringing it online. My problem is finding that "something". I don't have a very extensive job history and the corporate jobs I did have I totally hated! So I need to do some more searching, try to find where all the needs "hang out" and then spear...

    How To Find Customer Needs - the missing chapter!

    Chapter 36 is 4 pages. I would have liked to see a sizable chapter devoted to this topic, if not many chapters. Maybe in future products.

    How To Find Customer Needs - the missing chapter!

    I've read the book, trolled the forums, reread my highlighted parts, and it seems the most important aspect of the book is the focus on NEED. If you can identify a good need that needs to be satisfied, you're well on your way. The problem is, the Commandment of Need chapter is only 11 pages...

    Is this fastlane?

    It could be fastlane, I think it would have to specialize though. If you just made another version of craigslist, why would anyone use yours when craigslist is already so established? You'd need to differentiate somehow.

    Fastlane Plan-- Sports

    Yeesh, I hate to be the naysayer of the bunch but I'm having a hard time seeing the purpose of such an app, unless I'm missing something. I guess my main concerns is, why wouldn't your potential customers just use foursquare or facebook or gowalla or some other app they're already on that can be...

    If you can't get .com, should you go .net & .org?

    I would never get a .net or .org. You'll just be advertising for the .com since people will forget the extension and just go to the .com. Think of all the domain names that are completely meaningless like hulu, flickr, tumblr. Those don't even have enough vowels! The name is less important than...
