    Great question. Word of mouth and been developing websites for many Fortune 500 companies, for the firms I worked for since 1994. I don't think I would be able to acquire those same clients today. Too much competition and not enough respect and understanding of quality work in that space.

    How did you get the insurance affiliates? Why the company did you use? did you sell the insurance products yourself?

    I'll have to contact him since I think term life does have some opportunities as well. Thanks!

    Yes I read that book. Great book but not exactly a guy I want to follow (since he's dead). Though his best quote is: "If it flies, floats, or F*cks... rent it".

    Full disclosure, McCurry did write in fact for my site. We hired him for his tax articles which were pretty good IMHO. After writing just a few articles outside of taxes, I started looking at his background and yes it didn't add up when I started looking closer at his site. His returns were...

    I don't really know what I want next is the biggest question. I still need some soul searching on this. I haven't seen a problem that I want to solve. What I'm trying to do more of is forget about any real or preconceived limits I may think I have. "What problem could I solve if I had no...

    What's going on with Elon Musk? Eccentric or going mad?

    Nope! Not by a long shot. In the NYT article. Either TSLA will be massive successful or spectacularly implode. I'm voting on the latter with Elon still in charge.

    Oh shit forgot about that part in the book :-) I just knew about it personally as well and rocked a few people in the PF space.

    Unfortunately, there are many of these PF bloggers at the financial conference I go to FINCON. While overall a great conference I have to weed through these types of posers. A big one is Mr. Money Mustashe and his ilk.

    In full disclosure, I'm shorting TSLA. Elon is a loose cannon with his tweets and is on the edge. I've read his bio and looked at the Telsa cars quite a bit. I was considering the Model S when I was looking at my MB S550. the MB S550 granted is an ICE but a MUCH better built car. Yes the tech...

    Thanks. Everything on the site has a purpose and nothing in the layout is by accident. Layout, button locations, colors, lack of ads, what's clickable or not, etc.. etc.. All this affects UX and can affect SEO/SERP as well. All of this was tested by looking at Google Analytics data, Woopra...

    An interesting thing I gathered from an investment only website which others on the forum may appreciate. I had an active interest in investing when I created Investor Junkie. I didn't care about getting out of debt websites, which most personal finance blogs are about. When I started, I never...

    I wrote most, but there are many other writers and editors. Many of my original reviews and article have been updated by others. The personal finance space is easier than my previous business of web hosting. Much easier! I think there's still money to be made because many of the sites are...

    Yea I've seen a few other friends sell in this space and I agree. I'm saying I should have created them in parallel and separate from each other.

    Millionaire Fastlane, The Updated Version!

    Nevermind I figured it out, you must visit amazon.com and in the management of your books you can select it to update. I wish Amazon would tell you there was an update and give you an option to just update the book.

    Millionaire Fastlane, The Updated Version!

    Yea I just tried to delete the local version and re-download it and it's still showing 2011 as the copyright date. I see the downloaded sample has 2011,2018 so it's definitely the old version still on Amazon's Kindle.

    Millionaire Fastlane, The Updated Version!

    Is in the Kindle version yet? I was checking and it doesn't appear so and I purchased this a while ago. So I assume it should just be available is how it will work? I've never really looked closely at Kindle and how they update versions.

    Hey MJ, I could technically retire with this sale and my existing assets already, but entrepreneurship is like a disease and plan on never formally retiring. I like to think businesses are the adult version of LEGO. I've realized I'm great at being the visionary and I do execute well, but don't...

    Like what? I've never found a truly passive online business. Even my web hosting business which also is now on the selling block wasn't completely passive.
