    Dominos Online Checkout Experience

    Their mobile site is pretty good too. The only thing I don't like is that they try to force you to the domino's location that is closest to you. So I always had to make up an address near the location I want to get it from (clean/new/taken care of domino's) instead of the closest one (that was...

    Please, I need help to turn around a failing business

    Did you do any market research or analysis before opening the store? What made you pick that type of store? Can you get out of the lease? Can you sublet the space? Could you turn the space into some sort of small restaurant like a hot dog place or a 50's style diner like a Ruby's Diner or...

    [AMA] $25m+ in affiliate mktg revenue & exiting the game: Ask me anything.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I've always wondered what kind of real net margins the guys quoting big $ numbers really do. $25-30m over 5 years is $5-6m/yr. Is that gross revenue? With a $1.5m/month ad spend...I'm assuming that was just towards the end, otherwise you would've lost millions? I always had the impression...

    HOT! 
    First impression: cool name. landing page looks like a generic template. wall of text. Also, you don't capture their email anywhere, just that shipping contact info. I'd put up a sold out label, and offer them a coupon for when it becomes available as an incentive to capture their email...

    Architecture. Its not the language, its the lack of proper architecture, component-based design, etc. Its not throwing design patterns at it, all the design patterns in the world won't help you if you're not a good software craftsman. The Pragmatic Programmer is a good starting place. Pat...

    What happens when no one wants your leads?

    How good are the leads? I mean, it might get easier/start to snowball once they convert for your early adopters and you can tout that. edit to add: The other thing I was wondering is if the problem might be that they are inundated by other people like call center reps and whatnot trying to...

    Buying a domain name from go-daddy

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Godaddy gets you on the renewals. Namecheap is cheap upfront and they haven't jacked the renewals yet either. Internet.bs used to be cheap too but they stopped taking PayPal. I've been pretty happy with namecheap and there is always a monthly coupon code.

    [Progression thread] Building a Saas dedicated to author and writing

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Excellent. One thing I took away from SPIN Selling is that marketing on feature lists can sometimes _reduce_ the perceived value of your solution, something to think about on the other end when it comes time to market your software.

    That last post by Dane on idea extraction is gold! BTW, this process is applicable to more than just SaaS, these are some of the core skills in complex solution selling and consulting as well. Maybe Ovens should have his own AMA. I've been getting the targeted ads too, but I didn't take it as...

    So, you are essentially selling access to a giant "safe list" or are they "harvested" emails? What is your deliverability? I'd be curious the answers to gravytrain's questions too. What kind of metadata do you have around the emails and what is your ability to target? I'm a little bit unsure...

    What JasonR said is the way to do it. Don't rely on informal polling. Go by what the data tells you. To get the data, you have to test _everything_. Domain names, ad text, landing page layout/colors/text/media. In a recent story about Marissa Mayer (Marissa Mayer Biography - Business...

    Are You Profiting off the BITCOIN wave?

    I've been sitting on a good bitcoin related domain, but haven't thought of anything to do with it yet. Was attracted to bitcoin from the technical end really, just something geeky to toy with. Have they figured out who Satoshi is yet?
