    Definitely not legitimate in 'fastlane terms'. Assuming your game is even +EV, which is a pretty big assumption, you're still trading your time (a lot of it if you're planning on grinding low-stakes cash/MTTs) for money.

    Woops. I also misinterpreted your comment - apologies. Deleted my smart a$$ response. Best of luck man - glad to see you're back around.

    Paid Advertising Crash Course

    GOLD! SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    I believe Adwords campaign experiments (ACE) allow you to do the same in regard to A/B testing (no A/B/n testing, yet). I don't have direct experience, though, as I'm currently using 3rd party tracking software for my testing needs. On a similar note, do you have much experience with Analytics...

    What signs are pointing to click fraud? I didn't know Amazon allowed publishers to pull IP/time-stamp data.... Is there another way of detecting click fraud?

    From Affiliate Marketing To Importing And Ecommerce

    MARKETING 
    I may be at ASW as well. If you drink, I'd love to buy you a beer & chat. I'm still pretty new to running traffic (started after graduation last year), but I'm sure I could provide some sort of value to the convo :) Have a good one!

    From Affiliate Marketing To Importing And Ecommerce

    MARKETING 
    Hey @hughjasle , awesome project you've started here. The way you set this up/how you speak reminds me of AM... test multiple offers (products in this case), pluck the one with the most promise, drive traffic, optimize, etc... Was pretty interesting to see someone utilize these skills in a...

    the life of an entrepreneur

    lol someone needing a little extra attention today? I enjoy these videos (don't need to justify why, to you). If you don't find value in them, don't watch them. Certainly don't barge in and berate them. That is "F*cking laughable". Do something better with your time. "Peace."

    Mary Jane Is Paying My Rent

    EXECUTION 
    I recently closed a consulting deal, of sorts, with a medicinal marijuana producer in Oregon (where both medicinal and recreational sales are lawful). The client is a friend of a friend. We met a few times over beers to talk about the future of his business/where he's at now. Our discussions...

    Give your feedback on my website and niche

    EXECUTION 
    Here's another thought I had: You mentioned a guide somewhere on your site (how to make the tea)... I'd find a way to make this a bigger deal than it is now... This is your lead magnet (free, very specific, enticing) Have a floating CTA that advertises your guide ("Get your FREE 12-Step Guide...

    EXECUTION 
    Looks clean, I like it. Some suggestions: Instead of using a block of text in your "About Palo Azul" tab to describe your product, I'd consider using bullet points (perhaps with pictures?) to clearly describe the benefits/value add of your supplement. Top left sub-headline on your homepage is...

    Roast My Idea - Lead Generation Business

    HOT! IDEA 
    Looking into both centralized & decentralized lead marketplaces now... not much out there. Found LeadPoint, which is a market that matches lead buyer/sellers. In reality, though, it looks a bit like list buying (they offer "core" and "value" leads, which are only recommended for buyers with...

    Roast My Idea - Lead Generation Business

    HOT! IDEA 
    How about a marketplace in which businesses bid for a list of high-converting leads? Just setup an auction site, and direct merchants to it. Post a list of "qualified leads" in a specific vertical, set a starting bid & let the auction begin. Of course it'd be pretty difficult to get going, as...

    Raise money NOW based on your future earnings.

    EXECUTION 
    Applied to the Thrust Fund one. Not expecting anything, and I'm not even sure I'd accept an offer if I got one (you just sparked my curiosity :)).
