    1.8 Million turned away ...? Nice hook. I will have to take a look at them. Thanks!

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Funny you should mention that. Something like that did in fact happen. I made a great industry contact the other week, when he saw an absolute shit storm blowing up in the forums of another site. All these people bitching and moaning and groaning ... about the same things people bitch moan...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Not yet ... I still need to put together my media package ... and I would like to conduct some more experiments with social media before I start reaching out to traditional news outlets ... I am thinking maybe sometime in September or October I'll go the PR route. But yeah ... I agree the...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Well ... that is exactly what I am doing. Focusing on a very narrow sub-section of the target community at large. I do not think there is much value trying to create another version of the metaphorical phone book. So ... rather than trying to be all things to all people ... I am trying to be...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Is the site Mobile friendly? Yes. Does it have a mobile version? Yes. Is the site principally aimed at mobile ...? No ... not yet. But on the flip side ... neither are the other big sites in my genre ... but I hear what you are saying. I think that is a good idea. I guess mobile is...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Well ... I agree. Marketing will clearly be key. And yes ... I certainly stress the differences. It's not going to be easy ... I know that for sure. And in some odd ways ... I find that comforting ... at least where the commandment of entry is concerned ... but damn if it ain't frustrating.

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Interesting idea. But no. I cannot imagine it. My site model is so radically different from theirs ... it would not make sense to emulate it. Emulating my model would be against their financial interest. Absent such an approach, they could just swipe and deploy what I've done. If they're...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Critical mass is important (yes) ... but realistically ... the main "technique" of the big heavyweights ... is timing ... having gotten into the market 12 or so years ago. They have the numbers, resources and reputation for sure. Replicating anything approaching that will take time. The...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Couple ways ... first ... I've been a member of the competing sites for a very long time. I've watched the forums ... listened to the endless complaints ... and suggestions for improvements ... fall on habitually deaf ears. The owners have become fat and complacent ... and in their apathy I...

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    I'll be honest ... I'm feeling kind of beat up right now. I launched a niche dating site back in January. Back then, I was feeling high as a kite. I had spent 13 months in development ... assembled a platform that was second to none in the niche ... and thought I had rolled out something...

    Does the true Internet fastlane exist?

    EXECUTION 
    Well ... I will say this ... it's a BITCH. I've learned that much. Spent a full year in site development ... another six months in live beta (more development) ... and only now can I (finally) turn my full attention to marketing. 18 months ... just to get to the starting line ... and I know...

    Book Recommendations on Blogging

    BOOKS 
    Does anyone here have any good book recommendations on blogging ...? I just installed WP with an eye to using blogs are a secondary means to drive traffic to my dating site ... but never having been a blogger before ... I'd like to read up on the subject. Any good books come to mind ...?

    Blogs: Subdomains vs Subdirectories

    MARKETING 
    Tomorrow, my programmer will be uploading Wordpress on my dating site. I intend to use Wordpress to create relevant content which can be redistributed on social media like Facebook. I will not be selling ads. The only "ads" will be for my dating site. And I will not be entertaining comments...

    Another Lazy Turd Sues Because... HE Fell Asleep

    A suit like that will get tossed. I am shocked (in some ways) that a lawyer accepted the case. Seems like a frivolous action ripe for landing potential sanctions. I seriously doubt anything will come of it.

    Where to Host a Comment-Free Word Press Blog

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I was looking for relevant content to share on my Facebook Community Page recently ... when it dawned on me ... rather than sharing someone else's content ... I should be the one creating the content. After all ... if I create the content ... and people share it ... I'm thinking that might do a...

    Power of Association

    MINDSET 
    It's been said that you are the statistical average of the five people you most closely associate with. I think there is some truth to this. Which is why my five closest associates are books. If I can't associate with the right kind of people ... I'd prefer not to associate at all.
