    I guess this really more of a PSA. I caught Covid last week and whatever this new variant is, it is no joke. I had the most massive headache last night, I was worried that a blood vessel had burst in my head and I would need to go to the ER. I also need to constantly be taking acetaminophen...

    Happy Birthday MJ!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Happy bday MJ! Hope you have a good one! And I know what you mean - yesterday I was a young man running around the city with friends. Now I'm a father with a baby constantly demanding attention. :rofl: Time really does fly.

    Buy an exact match domain for product you sell?

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for sharing a Google Ads perspective because this is something I've thought a little about as well. If I buy the EMD I wouldn't run any ads at all. The goal (or hope?) is that after putting 20-30 articles on it that it would rank for some keywords organically someday and send traffic...

    Buy an exact match domain for product you sell?

    MARKETING 
    Yeah, this was one of the thoughts which occurred to me as well. But my product name is a bit longer and closer to "rockingchairs" or "backyardgazebo" so it's a bit more awkward to type than "limos.com". Also, my product isn't a replenishable so customers don't typically return to re-order...

    Buy an exact match domain for product you sell?

    MARKETING 
    That makes sense. I guess in my mind if I was thinking if I could get another website on the first page for my main keyword(s), I can take up more real estate and it would be kind of a defensive play. But pushing content on my main domain to improve its ranking makes a lot of sense as well...

    Buy an exact match domain for product you sell?

    MARKETING 
    Does it make any sense to buy a domain that is an exact match for the product you sell? For example, let's say you sell your own brand of trash cans - let's call the brand "Toter". If you could buy the domains trashcan.com and trashcans.com, does it make any sense to do so? Let's assume that...

    Massive Scale Cross-Border Amazon Arbitrage

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    I'm also curious about how this will play out. I actually experimented with something similar for a few months (but not at this scale). I quickly realized that the arbitrage opportunity between the different platforms was less than I thought it was. I gave it up after a few months and simply...

    How can I earn 300 dollars per month?

    IDEA 
    What skills do you have? (programming, graphics design, etc.) What value can you provide? An easy way to get to your goal is simply to trade your labor and time for money. This is not fastlane but it doesn't sound like you're necessarily looking for something fastlane in your situation... it...

    Does buying an existing biz lead to Slowlane or Fastlane?

    INTRO 
    What kind of website was it if you don't mind me asking? Also how did you tweak it? I'm still interested in purchasing something in the future so I always enjoying hearing and learning about how other people have done it successfully. It sounds like you bought some kind of content site since...

    Does buying an existing biz lead to Slowlane or Fastlane?

    INTRO 
    I've considered buying a business before but ultimately went the route of building my own business. If you're interested in buying a business, there's a really good thread on acquisition entrepreneurship you should check out here. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with buying a...

    On my way to fastlane. Business degree obsolete?

    IDEA 
    I was under the impression that you were considering an MBA program since you gave the example of the MBA Uber driver making you question the value of the degree. I unfortunately can't really speak to undergrad or Uni (as you call it over there) business programs since I did not attend one. I...

    On my way to fastlane. Business degree obsolete?

    IDEA 
    There is value in an MBA / business courses but it all depends on what you study and what your goals are for it. If your goal isn't to work in finance, it probably won't be as valuable to you. As I said before, I don't think it's a requirement for small business owners like us and you can self...

    What has worked for me has been to simply tell the other person the truth from the start. Tell them what you are about and what you want to do with your life. Don't try to oversell it or glamorize it. Just be honest. What happened for me is that people would weed themselves out. I remember...

    On my way to fastlane. Business degree obsolete?

    IDEA 
    I got a business degree and one of my reasons for doing so was to have a backup plan. Since you mentioned that this was one of your reasons for considering it as well, I thought I'd share what I have discovered since attending business school and also afterwards. Your situation is that you...
