    Worried Dad - Need "Fastlane" Insight

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Give him a roof and bed, but as other people have said, don't let him quit his job until he makes his first sale. Working on a business whilst having a full time job means you have to be really focused on the 80 / 20 principle which will pay dividends when the business does take off.

    Seo 2012

    MARKETING 
    I suppose this is a debate that could go on and on, but I sort of agree with most your points. From what I have heard it is far easier to get mobile sites ranking, but you must follow white hat methods. Google are falling over themselves to provide relevant search content to mobile users...

    Is Content Based Website A Fastlane Business

    EXECUTION 
    As @healthstatus says, it depends entirely on the niche. I have paid >$50 CPM before with direct media buys on some sites in the past if my tests show that the quality of the leads earn me more than $50 CPM and at the moment I'm also monetizing mobile traffic at <$1 per CPM. Don't dismiss...

    'Drink Less, Work More', Billionaire Tells Non-Rich

    EXECUTION HOT! 
    WTF? Half the reason I worked so hard no in fact I battled so hard was so that I can afford to have a good drink. I feel sorry for all the people with JOBS who have to go back to work after lunch while I can enjoy a lazy afternoon drinking in a pub garden with my friends...

    Thanks once again for your comments everybody. Not Sure I follow you @MJDeMarco, but I've not been on the forum that long. Are you inferring the naysayers just want it laid out on a plate for them rather than having to grind out the work and take responsibility for their decisions and actions...

    Mobile Advertising and Marketing

    MARKETING 
    @bernieshawn by all means, PM me, but unless it is private I would rather share anything with the forum. @wado1 - do some research, look at things like AppData - iOS, iPhone, and iPad application leaderboards, charts, and metrics to get an idea of what is popular. Standard marketing stuff...

    Mobile Advertising and Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Hi there, I'm surprised I haven't seen much about mobile advertising and marketing on the insiders forum (caveat I've only been lurking on here for an hour or so). If you are into SEO it's MUCH easier to rank mobile sites and MUCH LESS competition. If you're into arbitraging paid traffic to...

    I would like to add that this wasn't my first business venture. I have tried and failed 3 times before. Also, while all this was going on I thought I had the Midas touch and invested in a property deal which went wrong. VERY wrong and nearly ended everything for me! The only advice I would...

    Wow thanks for all your kind comments everybody. I'm afraid I'm too hungover to quote you all individually, but will attempt to summarise my journey. I needed to reach a tipping point before I took the risk of doing my own thing. I was 41 (yeah I'm a dinosaur on the internet) and had been...

    If anyone needs help with mobile marketing I can probably help

    MARKETING 
    I probably should have started here, but I posted my success story here https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/fastlane/42269-success-story-thanks-lot-mj.html#post230084 TFL opened my eyes to the fact I was 42, have 5 kids and was working so hard that I rarely saw my kids and when I did I was a...

    Success Story - Thanks a lot MJ

    Not sure if this is the right place to post, but after reading TMF last year I had one of those Eureka moments and would like to thank MJ for opening my eyes. Having spent years running teams of people developing web technology that made other people money I finally decided to make some money...
