    How much do you pay your CPA?

    Not terribly complex. For this particular question, I am talking about an S Corp (professional services). But this particular client forced me to work thru a vendor as a W2, in Cali, which has high state income tax. I live in TX where there is no state income tax. I do my own bookkeeping...

    How much do you pay your CPA?

    Okay, I know it's a broad question, with a lot of possible variables. So let's say that you have a CPA (or otherwise qualified accountant) who just takes the information you give them, and prepares your state and federal tax returns. He offers general information/advice when asked. And when...

    I think they take for form of, "Hey Chris, I'm gonna be in town next week. Wanna get together for a beer?" LOL.

    No adwords for affiliate sites?!?!

    MARKETING 
    Anytime you feel compelled to preface a statement with, "I hate to come off like a dick..." LOL!! I can't speak for other "affiliates". And since this is one of several website, and one of several other businesses I own, I don't really consider myself an "affiliate". But if I had a couple of...

    No adwords for affiliate sites?!?!

    Thanks for the follow up, The-Truth! No problem at all. I'm still learning a lot about the IM stuff between my "real" job and life. And it is sometimes tempting to take shortcuts. I know that the sample set of my traffic is not great enough to draw any significant conclusions about the...

    No adwords for affiliate sites?!?!

    I understand and appreciate this. But not all affiliate promoting sites are crummy. I happen to think that mine are full of useful information. I personally wrote all 22 of the articles on the site, after extensive research, then read and personally reviewed all the affiliate products that...

    How to deal with a slowlaner girlfriend?

    HOT! MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    Seriously? Which part sounds like energy? The quality of your life comes down to the quality of the questions you are willing to ask yourself and those around you. In what alternate universe is it a bad idea to think about our relationships and the motivations for such? I think that "regular...

    So, here's the idea: Clothing Rental for men. Thoughts?

    IDEA 
    I think it's a plausible concept, dnuge3. In this economy, I think the luxury goods rental market is an interesting one. Ive done a lot of reading about exotic car rental companies over the past few days. Once people get accustomed to a particular lifestyle, it's hard to settle for less! But...

    How to deal with a slowlaner girlfriend?

    HOT! MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    Well, I'm unclear. Is she negative about YOUR fastlane endeavors? Or just negative about her job? If she's constantly bitching about her job, then encourage her to start a business of her own or with you. I try to live by the mantra, "Don't complain about what you permit!" It may sound a...

    No adwords for affiliate sites?!?!

    MARKETING 
    No. Unfortunately, it was a phone call. I clicked a link for a free adwords account (for a $75 coupon), and received an email message that said, "Thank you for your interest in Google AdWords. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we need to ask you a few questions before we issue you your...

    No adwords for affiliate sites?!?!

    MARKETING 
    So this is news to me! I have an affiliate site (clickbank ebooks) that has great conversion when people can actually find it. So, I decided to use an adwords coupon to A/B test some paid traffic. As it turns out, Google refused to approve the account because it was an affiliate site...

    So what does this look like? Do you just surf WF together until you find good deals for links? or do you share good sites on which to post your own content/comments/backlinks? or what?

    GOLD! HOT! 
    It's hard to say, Kak. How many years would've been wasted trying to find the right business? What other kind of business could be started by a 22 yr old with no capital, no experience, and even less credibility? And don't say IM or eBay. LOL! This was 1986. I'm not saying that there were...

    MLM or Network Marketing Schemes, Cringe, and More

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Stupid? Dolt? I agree with you. It took me 8 years to hit the million dollar mark in MLM, but only 6 in a job, due largely to the skills I learned in the MLM. Wow. There's that vitriol again. How many were there at which you failed before developing this level of anger? Stupid? Really...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    What do you think are the odds of getting into Internet Marketing and turning it into a multi-million $ business like you did? Not asking as a hypothetical, but reality. How many folks do you think get excited about it, buy an eBook, go to a seminar, and try to build a few sites, then quit...

    MLM or Network Marketing Schemes, Cringe, and More

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Interesting read, from a sociological, philosophical and psychological perspective. There is a lot of vitriolic sentiment expressed in this thread that I would assume is the result of personal failure (or other negative experience). A casual observer would seldom state such absolutes (all...
