    Cloudy Internet Future?

    MARKETING 
    If you create a real business that counts on marketing and advertising to generate traffic and your revenue model supports that you will be fine. Expecting other people to continuously provide you free traffic is not a solid business strategy at all. SEO is not dead, but SEO as your only...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    It is one thing to say you are going to learn a little code and knowing that will help you in your business, that is NOT STUPID. Saying I will spend a few hundred hours learning to code and then will be a good enough programmer to write a professional level app, STUPID.

    I wanted to make sure my post got read, and a controversial subject line is always a good start! MJ, you and I were programming our initial sites back at a time when if it worked most of the time, it was cool and above average. I believe you didn't get rich off your programming skills, you...

    Given a chance, what would you tell your younger self?

    MINDSET 
    Buy; gold at $600.00, Microsoft stock early, Google stock early. Selling and marketing is not manipulation, but giving people a reason to spend money they are looking to spend anyway on your stuff. Shortcuts usually aren't.

    I think the only thing that is obvious around here is you have very few posts, no reputation and you like to type a lot. I am doing fine without your "education". My primary website has had over 8 million visits in the last 12 months, I have multiple websites making 6 figures a year and my...

    Yet all you do is say that outsourcing never works because the specs suck. So learning to program in a few months also makes you an expert at specifications and how to write your own app in a quality fashion? Now that they know your kungfu they will be able to anticipate SQL injection attacks...

    Thanks. My semi-proficient juggling skills are pretty useless. I get what you are saying. The WHOLE point of this thread is that going from 0 to professional programmer capable of producing high quality apps in a few months is just not based in reality. Anyone considering that, 1) stop...

    There are many more options than that. Not knowing what you think your price point for your software will be once you release it means you may need to tweak my suggestions here. 1) Can you find a regulatory consultant that just retired or is in the consulting business that you don't have to...

    That statement is just crap. Some people have more talent and skill than others. If you worked on your sales skills maybe you could sell more to the traffic you have. Traffic is like money, there is plenty, you just have to find it and attract it. From your initial post on this thread...

    Getting Higher Conversions on My Site

    MARKETING 
    It takes a lot of traffic to get a forum going. If there are only 3-4 people posting, visitors leave in a hurry.

    How much visitors needed to be considered "profitable"?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    But conversions can be many things. For an information portal, a conversion is as simple as a page view. Get enough page views combined with cpm advertising and you generate revenue, more page views, more revenue.

    Donald Trump: The Mystery

    REAL ESTATE 
    He could have borrowed 80 mil, then paid less for the hotel then used the leftovers to deal with interest payments. No money down can scale to this size. If he went private equity, he could have offset mortgage payments for a few years, probably with a higher interest rate. He is a Trump, so...

    I like the majority of your post, but just wanted to touch on this part. I didn't generate massive amounts of traffic until I learned how to write press releases, articles and create enticing copy to move people to stay on my site, recommend it to their friends, link to it and bookmark it.

    Not selective hearing, my point was that people on this forum since I got here a little more than a year ago, have been on the, "I'm going to learn how to program and write my database app, iPhone app, whatever app, it will only take me a couple of months to learn how". Quickly followed by...

    Sorry you had to learn a hard lesson, but absolutely, learning a thing or two about anything you are getting into is VERY wise! You can use that knowledge as leverage in your hiring of and dealing with experts. But there is a huge difference between that level of learning and oh, I will...
