    Wanting to start a website

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You can program this, I'm not sure why everyone here loves Ruby so much, but you can use that. I prefer php as it's simple and very powerful and used by more sites then anything else. (Wordpress was written in php too). Anyhow, if you have zero experience, then you can teach yourself. It...

    Do you want more LIKES for your FaceBook Pages?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Likes are great but if they're not really interested in your product or service, what's the point? You have to have some way to monetize the likes. Typically that means moving them from the page to a list and marketing to that list.

    Need feedback on my idea

    IDEA 
    Solid idea and definitely possible to implement. I would then take a fee on every lead sent to the mortgage broker or lawyer or whoever you send business to. :)

    SEO Competition/Keyword Research Question

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You can do it, with fewer backlinks then you think too. :)

    Just launched my fastlane business!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    That site needs a bit of work. Right now it's confusing. If you're going to do lead gen, then make it known that you're doing lead gen. Right now it looks like a blog with one page, a confusing form saying you'll get 3 estimates and an ebook then a block adsense ads. I would redo that. Take...

    Thank You MJ

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Totally agree. Marketers sell you the sizzle and rarely deliver the steak. They do it because it works. They know how to push your emotional buttons. This book is nice because it tells you that you're not getting things handed to you on a silver platter and that you have to actual *gasp*...

    Lambo test drive FAIL!

    Yikes, guess their insurance rate just went up a tad. :)

    Mobile Oil Change Business...Thoughts??

    That sounds good as an original idea, but I think you'd want to charge a slight premium for the service. If you're going to go to them and do it, then that saves them time and time is money as we all know. What about doing that but partnering with a parking lot or two downtown. Have the...

    Making Affiliate Marketing Fastlane

    MARKETING 
    Affiliate marketing is not a fastlane business in that you do not control the product or service being offered. Someone else does and they pay you a commission for every lead/sale or action taken. I totally agree with this. That doesn't make it a bad thing though. So how can you make it a...

    Thanks! I'd definitely be interested to hear more from anyone who has franchise experience and how they handle the confidential side of this.

    My Problems

    I've been there too. You hit a point where you think it's all good, but you're actually hurting yourself right now by now. You have to "make hay while the sunshines". Otherwise, what happens if your client dies or goes bankrupt? You're back to square one. (I've been there twice and hate...

    Is affiliate marketing fastlane potential/passive income?

    MARKETING 
    I think it's far from dead. There's still a ton of companies out there that do not do anything online. Selling their products or services is a great way to make some extra income. I've been doing it full time since 2007. The best part is you do not have to deal with any customer service...

    Must have for any business...

    I've never done this, but I can see its value. My only concern is having the competition get a hold of it. I've been ripped off multiple times by copycat competitors in the past and if they ever got their dirty little hands on my operating manual, it'd be very annoying. How would you deal...

    My Problems

    Go to craigslist and hire a salesperson. Give them 50% commission, (it's money you would never have had in the first place right?), let them sell for you. You will not find a winner right away, so hire a couple. If they're good salespeople and can actually sell then being on commission won't...

    SEO Competition/Keyword Research Question

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'd say go for it. Amazon sites are easy to outrank. They're getting all their juice from the main domain, but did you know that google ranks PAGES not entire websites? :) That means you can take a targeted page and outrank an amazon page with ease. If you look at backlinks per page, (using...

    New company with 600k funding wants to teach you how to program

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    One thing I noticed is they're outsourcing their videos to 3rd party companies, (at least the one free one I saw). I don't get why they'd need $600k in funding though unless it's for a massive marketing campaign that they can't finance internally. I've started all my sites by internal funding...

    Affiliate Marketing to reach corporations and sell mass service!

    MARKETING 
    True, that's why you don't focus on one single offer at a time. You focus on a niche that has several offers that are along the same lines. :)

    Need Any PPC Advice? I Can Help

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I replied and as per Sharp's suggestion, all I suggested was that he's got a good solid plan, but the offer he's looking at promoting may not be the best option. I suggested he look at a niche and find several offers in that niche instead of just focusing on one. CPA offers, (which is what he...

    Hey tech guys ... securing your website

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    While they didn't try it here, you do get idiots trying sql injections into forms on your sites. The best way to deal with that is to use mysql_escape_ functions on all your form variables right inside your code. That way they can't trick their way into your database and gain access to...
