    I'm finally joining the crowd!

    PUBLISHING 
    Yeah. I think comparing borrows and sales is futile since there's no way to tell if a borrow is actually a lost sale or not. In my opinion, the best way to do it is to stop analyzing sales/borrows and analyze $ earned. Simply figure out if you make more with books in Select or out and it makes...

    Six-Figure Fiction: Take Two! I'm back! Hope everyone has been doing well. (Sorry if I missed some PM's that any of you sent a while ago.) Hard to believe this thread is over a year old. It's been a while since I posted or updated, aside from lurking and following the progress/success of...

    Do/Did You Surround Yourself With Action Takers?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I don't think it's a problem. :) Making sure my schedule stays so full these days that I'd be a poor friend anyway.

    What if you don't have any friends? Are you unbound by the average? Seriously, I'm a loner these days, lol.

    Buy existing, established websites for monthly cash flow?

    Not surprising.

    Buy existing, established websites for monthly cash flow?

    EXECUTION 
    There's plenty of guys out there who run profitable portfolios of hundreds of sites. Most of their portfolios are comprised of niche info sites that utilize Amazon or Adsense. Spencer over at Niche Pursuits comes to mind. If I recall correctly he's really big on this model. I've been interested...

    Glad to help on anything training, nutrition and fitness related

    AMA 
    Really? I'm actually eating more meals/day now than before. It's just that I'm watching portion sizes and eating more quality food. Instead of skipping breakfast and lunch every day and then eating a 4-6 pieces of a supreme pizza and some chicken wings at dinner, followed by snacking up until...

    Glad to help on anything training, nutrition and fitness related

    AMA 
    Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'd be happy to take advice from you or anyone else experienced with fitness on my new lifestyle change. Having recently returned to school, I now have unlimited access to a full gym. As a result, I've started dieting and exercising. It's been over a...

    Best slowlane "job" to get into...

    SLOWLANE 
    Yeah, this has been my primary concern. I'm also learining japanese, which carries some slowlane opportunities overseas. However, uncertainty over deciding on a skill to learn in school has been plaguing my mind since I decided to go back. I'm too old to choose the wrong major/career. I'm...

    Best slowlane "job" to get into...

    SLOWLANE 
    Having just re-entered school after nearly twenty years, I'm a complete slowlaner at the moment. I'm going into software development because it is decent slowlane path and also has great potential to double as a fastlane path once I'm able to start writing my own side projects. I don't know much...

    Advice Writing Fantasy Fiction?

    PUBLISHING 
    Yeah, per session. For me, I need to have a solid idea of where I need the story to go before I write, but one of the first things I noticed was how trying to edit while creating greatly slowed output and disrupted the organic creation process. I recall reading somewhere that the parts of the...

    [AMA] Personal Development - hardcore way

    MINDSET AMA 
    Thanks for the AMA. I've been a student of personal development for years, and I've been wanting to write a book about the processes I've found to help in picking one's self up after/during heavy life mistakes and struggles (like, dealing with depression and the consequences of addiction). It's...

    Traditional Investing or Invest In Another Company?

    EXECUTION 
    I've been a member here for over a year and can't recall a similar thread off the top of my head. Also, methods and strats change by the day, so old topics can always yield new information. Instead of posting a useless reply, why not link to the thread resources you referenced and add some...

    Kindle Unlimited... Authors in trouble?

    PUBLISHING 
    Agree, but this is Amazon's intention. They clearly want all readers and writers under their roof. It's been known for quite a while that self-publishing has some glaring issues with the commandment of control. I don't see how using this service will make one author seem less legitimate than...

    Kindle Unlimited... Authors in trouble?

    PUBLISHING 
    Since I'm letting my old pen name die, I threw books 2 & 3 of my trilogy in Select to see if this service does anything. Leaving book 1 as perma-free since it's available in other locations and I don't feel like going around and pulling them all. As far as some speculation on how this service...

    If you're familiar with basic html/css and are comfortable designing your own stuff in Gimp, you can start nice looking wordpress site for dirt cheap. The last wordpress content brand I created, I did all the work myself (my skills are marginal at best), and launched for a little less than $12...
