    Making money with a porn blog

    HOT! 
    No ... quite the opposite. If you think paid advertising is how people make money with blogs ... then YOU are the one who is clueless. A blog with 1000 page views a day (for example) ... is only going to net the average person about $3 a day from Google Adwords ... which is roughly $90 per...

    Drop the Bad (Internet) Habits!

    MINDSET 
    I use FB for three reasons: 1) Marketing 2) Conversations Starters (close friends and family) 3) Following Fastlane Types 90% of the posts in my feed are from MJ DeMarco and Tim Ferriss. It's not all bad. Just filter out the garbage. Most businesses -- mine included -- need a strong social...

    Yep. You can. No doubt. Not as good as your own product ... but if you don't have a product ... and are hell bent on blogging ... then yes ... affiliate marketing is your next best option. ANYTHING ... is better than paid advertising. If you think you can build an audience ... and...

    No worries, Mr. B. No one is taking any of this personally (not me, at least). We are all entitled to our opinions. Glad to see ya posting. :)

    HOT! 
    I disagree. This is a forum about business. Not just Rated-G business. But ANY business. G PG XXX ... You name it. There are plenty of people here who are marketing products and services in and to the adult entertainment industry. I'm one of them. It's a huge industry. There's plenty of...

    HOT! 
    Can you make money with a porn blog ...? Absolutely. I am certain of it. But not the way you are talking about it. There is only one way -- and one way only -- to make (real) money with a blog. And it is NOT selling advertising. Go that route ... and you will be flat broke ... guaranteed...

    My Firsthand Example of WHY You Should NEVER Do What You Love; and It’s Not What You Think.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Totally agree. I went to Atlanta back in May to promote my site at a big party I would (normally) be attending as a social guest. HATED IT. Felt like a cheesy salesman. Everyone is there having fun ... and I'm pushing memberships. Swore I would never market the site ... in person ... at...

    How do I get rid of this constant anxiety?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    There is an expression: “He who worries about calamities suffers them twice over.” I think about that ... often. So I tell myself ... one day ... bad things may happen. I'll deal with them then. But I'll be DAMNED if I am going to let those things ruin my TODAY. Then there is Mark...

    The 2015 Fastlane Meetup Pre-Plan Discussion (formerly B&P)

    MEETUPS 
    I think Vegas solves the rooms problem ... hands down. The town is overbuilt ... and a straight up bargain. As are flights in and out ... And the place has meeting space available up the wazoo. My two cents ...

    I'm stealing someone else's idea... Am i bad?

    IDEA 
    I think Felix Dennis says it best: “… it does not matter who gives birth to a particular idea … You cannot patent an idea. You can only patent your own method for implementing an idea. It is for this reason that so many people have become rich despite never having had a single great idea in...

    I'm stealing someone else's idea... Am i bad?

    IDEA 
    I (personally) would not care whether my company was labelled "genuine" or a "rip off" ... all I care about is whether the company is profitable. That's it. Me (personally) ... I would not "copy" another business unless I was reasonably certain the market was under-served ... or I was...

    I'm stealing someone else's idea... Am i bad?

    IDEA 
    I don't see anything weird and creepy about that at all. Think about how many sales and copy writing "gurus" are out there ... in the info marketing business. "Unique Selling Propositions" ... "Prospects vs. Suspects" ... "Calls to Action" ... "Can't Miss Headlines" ... etc. etc. etc. Think...

    I'm stealing someone else's idea... Am i bad?

    IDEA 
    As long as you are not violating any laws in the market you are selling to (trademark, copyright or patent) ... go for it! Just because "someone was here first" does not mean they own a monopoly on the market. If what they are doing works ... people are going to notice ... and competition ...

    Would you pay to get your article on a high traffic site?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    That was pretty much sums up what I was thinking ... Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I think its a bad idea. Press releases are a great way to build credibility and promote brand awareness. But consider your audience. You are asking people on the Fastlane Forum. I don't think WE are...

    Would you pay to get your article on a high traffic site?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Maybe ... I don't know. I guess it would have to be very (VERY) reasonable on price. Low hundreds (max). Otherwise ... I would be (far) more inclined to create the high-traffic site myself ... Yeah ... more work on the front end ... takes longer to create ... but in the big picture ... I'd...

    Tasks for a VA to do?

    PEOPLE 
    Camtasia is a bit pricey ($299). You might want to take a look a Snag-it instead ($49). Much better than Jing (feature-wise) ... and far more reasonable than Camtasia. All three programs are made by the same developer (Techsmith) Snag-it is one of my all-time favorite programs. Love it.
