    A demonstration on how Facebook's ad revenue is based on fake likes.

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Wow! Perfect timing for that seeing as how I just started using Facebook advertising. I only started this past weekend, but I'm gonna suspend the campaign for now and see if there isn't a better option. I originally went with Facebook over Adwords because I thought it would be more beneficial.

    Flappy Bird: Hit N Run (Hes taking it down)

    HOT! 
    Please tell me this is a joke and someone didn't really spend $10,000 on an iPhone with slight water damage just because of this game.

    This guy is a genius. In tears from laughing

    Ah yes, Mr. Ken M. There was a big thread about him on Bodybuilding.com detailing his trolling adventures. If I remember correctly, he did some trolling on the Jimmy Dean Facebook page and they ended up sending him some free breakfast sausages lol.

    So How 'Bout That Super Bowl?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Wow! I was rooting for Seattle to win, but I honestly didn't expect that kind of a blowout. Once Denver botched that snap for a safety on the first play, it was a wrap. In other news, Floyd Mayweather apparently bet $10 million on Denver.

    Oops - How NOT to do a sale promotion for MLK Day

    Considering how these retailers are, I'm not in the least bit surprised to see that. Just this past holiday season, stores were opened on Thanksgiving day. Retailers will turn damn near any day into a sale now. And I could comment on the ignorance level of that post, but it's still not as bad...

    No new friends. No new friends. No new friends. No no new. Personally, I like what he does musically and respect the fact that he recognizes the value in his brand. The Toronto Raptors brought him in as a global ambassador because of how big he's become internationally. Kudos to him.

    HostGator is Down.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Add me to the list of folks unsatisfied with Hostgator. Had constant issues with their hosting service. I officially gave up on them back in October and I've moved on to VPS hosting from WiredTree. I got great customer service from them when it came time to migrate my site over. Haven't had...

    Do You Even Respond? Worst Luck Finding Suppliers Online

    I guess this is just part of the game. It took me two months of reaching out to manufacturers on a daily basis before finding one to produce my first product. A few things to keep in mind: 1. It's a numbers game. Not every factory is good at responding in a timely manner. There are a few...

    OMG!!! The Lottery Just Reached $636 Million!!!!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Well I just got back from the gas station looking to get a drink and a bag of chips. Lo and behold, a fairly long line of people trying to get lottery tickets last minute. And no, they weren't like you guys trying to play for fun. You could tell they were hoping that ticket would be their...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    ......and I'm just here like: Would rather spend my time working on my business and building a wealth-creating asset than wasting time standing in line and hoping to get rich. And let's just be real about it, most lottery winners go broke within a few years of winning. Some people end up...

    Everything Fell Apart And Lost Everything

    All of this won't mean anything if you don't learn from this. Moving forward, you need to keep a few things in mind: 1. There's no excuse for stealing from someone to fund your business. When your business is built around shadyness and bad behavior like that, it's almost guaranteed to come...

    The Secret To Amazon's Success (Or Lack Thereof)

    EXECUTION 
    Sales Are Colossal, Share Are Soaring. All Amazon Is Missing Is A Profit. I found this article pretty interesting. Seems like Amazon operates on a slim margin, high volume approach. The article examines whether or not this approach will continue to work for them in the long term.

    Progress Thread: On The Fastlane And Not Turning Back

    EXECUTION 
    Things seem to be moving forward right now. This week I've been able to secure 4 suppliers, all of which will drop-ship. I also went ahead and changed the websites template and layout. The previous one was a free theme that wasn't bad but felt very empty at times. I do have a question if...

    EXECUTION 
    I spent the day filling out reseller applications for suppliers. Six in total. The current wholesaler where I was able to get the majority of my items from is great for the accessories like cables and adapters. But the higher priced items seem to be where the issue is. I've noticed their...

    Progress Thread: On The Fastlane And Not Turning Back

    EXECUTION 
    Not a whole lot today, at least not to me. I filled out applications with a few more distributors. Right now I've got two, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to have a few more in case of inventory issues with one of the suppliers. I also posted a Craigslist ad late last night. I figured there's...
