    Correct. I'm not concerned about anyone stealing the idea, this post was intentionally less specific because - if you need deep detail, you're missing the message. The details don't matter. Value matters. I remember reading this post about 5 years ago and none of it made sense. I was dumb to...

    What software do you use to help manage your personal finance

    INVESTING 
    Google Sheets kicks a$$. You can use functions to query Google Finance such as: =GOOGLEFINANCE("LON:VWRD", "price") =sum(B10*(GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:CADUSD"))) Do some reading into it, it's very powerful and stays up to date. Best of all, it's free!

    Blogging for Profit (With Legendary GOLD Follow Up Posts)

    GOLD! 
    @mjblackwood honestly, as someone that sells digital marketing, it's semantics. To some, content marketing and blogging are the same. To others blogging is blogging and content is used on blogs, social, emails, etc. Call it whatever makes sense to you. If you sell these services, your clients...

    Nothing major. Still planning a visit in 2017 (combining with a conference). Not sure if the partnership will work out, still have some points to iron out. I'm beginning to feel as though the "partnership" is more along the lines of a "Westerner to sell our products". Ecommerce is my strength...

    In 2016, it's high quality, maximum value long form content for organic search traffic or it's nothing, IMO. Even if you can make average posts work today, they'll be dead in a year or two.

    Your marketing centre of gravity

    Andy in regards to your business, how do you see focus playing out. Is is that you only focus on one service (AdWords)? Or will you focus on a vertical (Irish local businesses?) for AdWords/Analytics/other services?

    How to value a generated lead

    MARKETING 
    =sum(retail price for product/industry conversion rate) The catch for them is if they can't close, your leads are expensive.. but if they can't close, you don't want to work with them anyway.

    Thank you @Walter Hay . I have not yet met my contact, but it is clear to me that it's time to jump on a plane to meet in person. Handling payments is a good idea too, as it is more likely that I will handle set up of these types of accounts anyway.

    @Walter Hay do you have any feedback on partnering with manufacturers in China? This business has since been sold and the manufacturer wants to go 50/50 with me in a B2C company - they provide the product/shipping/support and I provide the digital marketing. I'd only consider this for equity but...

    I'm self taught in almost everything I do and it's served me well. Not everyone is a shark but a lot are - if they are selling advice, why aren't they putting that effort into selling product? Because selling information products is more profitable/easier. They're selling a dream!

    You interpreted my comments to read that I don't have a bullshit filter and that Reddit is my only source of news. No need to apologize, everyone is an individual with unique opinions and personalty traits.

    I frequent Reddit. The front page is a great place to get up to date world news as it happens, coming from a tech background I get a good laugh out of some of the jokes on there and there are a few subs that get traffic like nowhere else on the world for me to not only promote my wares but also...
