    Correct. They were building/buying authority sites that made ad revenue via Adsense etc. but they were driving a lot of traffic via Facebook/ SEO. When Facebook changed the organic reach of pages a year or so ago it hurt many of their sites traffic a lot. They have also been battling with the...

    Down 47lbs since Dec 2018

    HEALTH 
    Everything I’ve read says to lose about 2lbs a week I should be between 1500-1800 calories. People blame lots of things for being fat (myself included) but they have no idea how many calories they are eating daily. For example last week I took my wife out to Olive Garden. I had one bowl of...

    Down 47lbs since Dec 2018

    HEALTH 
    I’ve tried some IF before and it certainly helps but my issue with it was that I felt like I was depriving myself so couldn’t keep up with it full time as I would give in to either snacking after dinner, be starving by 10am or both. What I’m doing currently is something that I can carry through...

    Down 47lbs since Dec 2018

    HEALTH 
    TBH no one has said anything to me about it besides family that know the journey I’m on etc. but that is fine. I’ve seen the weight on the scale come off and then my waist has been shrinking pretty good the last month or so as well. I went down a belt size (which I already had from when gaining...

    It certainly is helping it drop faster for sure but eating 1400 calories instead of whatever I want all day is certainly helping as well.

    Down 47lbs since Dec 2018

    HEALTH 
    For the food, I found a site called I Love This Diet. I’ve used Nutrisystem in the past (and it works) but the variety is pretty crappy and it’s pretty expensive. When I finally got tired of the food and went back to eating “normal” I gained the weight back. I love my diet is kind of like a...

    HEALTH 
    For the food and exercise I’m currently doing see the next post... I’ve debated writing this thread multiple times over the last few months but I’ve started “diets” before and can never seem to make anything stock beyond a couple of months. I didn’t want to post and then have people ask how I...

    HOT! 
    Yeah I think the transition was more complex than they expected/ realized. I have a good site up and running currently through them and they are building the second site currently. I haven’t gotten more than the minimum yet which isn’t exactly what I was hoping for but it’s where it currently...

    New value skew idea... Advertising Boost

    IDEA MARKETING 
    It’s through bookvip.com on the backend and I know a couple of people that have used them for trips without issues. It’s actually easier to use than some of the “free” resort giveaways out there. My sister got one given to her and it requires you to mail a money order for the taxes etc where as...

    New value skew idea... Advertising Boost

    IDEA MARKETING 
    Correct, for the $500 a year it’s unlimited vacation giveaways. It’s essentially the place to stay for free. The person has to pay about $20 a night for “taxes and fees” and it doesn’t include airfare or food. They do offer upgrades if you attend timeshare crap as well but that isn’t...

    Don’t know the rules on Facebook contests but I believe that is certainly one way to use it.

    IDEA MARKETING 
    I was considering not posting this as I have only been using the site for about a week and to me it comes across like I’m trying to spam/sell the thing, however the results have been pretty good (25-30% bump in sales) and I wanted to see if it might help someone else. A little over a week ago...

    Warm Climate Vs Cold

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I moved from the Midwest to Arizona 3 years ago... and it has honestly been amazing. Everyone talks about how you will miss the seasons changing but the only thing I really miss is the leaves changing. I go back to cold weather normally once per winter to visit family and after a week of cold...

    Guilty conscience when not working on business – what to do

    MINDSET 
    I often feel like I should do more. Not necessarily because I don’t do enough but simply that there is always something that needs done when you run a business. I can always find things on AdWords to tweak. There are search term reports I can comb through to add negative keywords, etc etc. For...

    Bought 2 new websites from Shopify Exchange

    EXECUTION 
    Honestly I haven’t had time to do anything with it and it hasn’t sold anything organically. My guess is the person selling it was running all of his storefront business through it which is why the numbers were so high with no residual customers once it was purchased.

    Buying vs Renting. Which are YOU?

    MINDSET 
    Here is how I made the decision to purchase rather than rent.... in the event of a cataclysmic event that causes every business/ investment I have to tank... I can go out and get a job at McDonald’s and still take care of my family without our standard of living changing at all. For me the...
