Thread: Forever Jobless has launched!

Awesome job. I just signed up and followed your facebook and twitter. Can't wait to read your articles.

GOOD LUCK!

I'm in.

Serious question: What made you choose "Forever Jobless" over "Forever Unemployed," which has a stronger connotation?

Being jobless and being unemployed are two completely different things. I will never have a "job" again, but that doesn't mean I am unemployed. Verial, hang around this place a lot more and you will gain a deep appreciation for the distinction of those two terms.

Snowbank, great job getting started. Re-read your opening, I think you missed the word " of "

First, a few words about most the books or blogs you read – forget about them.

Excellent! Read your first post and left a comment. I'm looking forward to further updates.

"Sign up below if you want me to send you money" - LOL!!

I am really excited to read your first couple articles! =)

Great! Just followed you on twitter, facebook and signed up with email. Looking forward to reading your posts. Speed+

I say this with the utmost of respect as I've come to love your posts, theories, and opinion, but seriously bro, how is this "a launch?"

I see a Wordpress installation and not even one article. There's a "send me money" link and a MY STORY.

I'd hardly call this "a launch" as something like this takes a skilled WP person about 30 minutes to do. I could do it in an hour.

What is there to share? Why would someone share? There's no content, articles, or value. Has someone hijacked Bill's account as this is the type of thing I'd expect you'd call out.

When you discussed "a launch" in the other thread, I envisioned a project with significant engineering and content (VALUE), very similar to BlueFireP0ker ... instead, I see something that looks like it could have been done in 1 day.

Am I missing something?

If you ask me, I think you owe everyone their $500.

I think he has an arsenal of content coming.

LOL. Sorta true.

I laughed at the "Send me money" thing.

We're all waiting for your content, man.

I see you were able to beat your own launch deadline.

Well, I have subscribed to your rss and look forward to your posts. (Also followed you on Twitter, and Like'd on FB).

I played around with a lot of different domain names. I did several different polls and Forever Jobless blew the other names I was considering away. So, I just went with what the numbers were saying.

There were other names I liked more early on, but people kept saying this one was the one that caught their attention/was catchy.

I think it was an easy name to remember and relatively short.

Really came down to how well it tested though.

fwiw, there were several domain names I was considering with the word "unemployed" and "unemployable" in them. The domains I had for those weren't as good.

Thank you, great catch. Looking back over it, I can't remember if I meant to leave it out, or forgot. I'm trying to write more along the lines of how I would speak(which is difficult/I'm still learning), and I may have done that here but honestly not sure. Going to leave it for now, but when I read it after you pointed it out I thought the same thing, "shit".

I was wondering what people would think of those. Split testing a few of them now.
