    Hello from Denver - self publishing success

    GOLD! 
    I may be wrong, but I understand that Amazon pushes new titles pretty heavily. Which is probably why you see so many of the successful writers pushing out books as fast as possible; not only so they can build off their own catalog, but because they want as many books as possible in the "Newly...

    Billionaire Mark Cuban Wins $590M Lottery Jackpot

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It's not about the lottery or you posting a thread, it's that people get annoyed when people post bullshit for the sake of posting bullshit. I'd get reamed if I went and made a thread that said "UFO's have made contact with earth" and told people to "Google it."

    Hello from Denver - self publishing success

    Yeah, I looked through there, but, and I may be mistaken, those titles don't seem to appear in any of the larger categories. They seem to only show up under "Kindle Singles" and sub-categories.

    Hello from Denver - self publishing success

    GOLD! 
    This is the only genre I'm able to find novellas (30-80 pages) in. And, not surprisingly, the only genre I keep reading that people are having success in with novellas. I haven't read a single post, anywhere talking about the success they've had with novellas in any other genre. Does the...

    Hello from Denver - self publishing success

    GOLD! 
    Where are you guys finding popular novella categories? I've been browsing several different genres and I'm really not seeing much under 200-500 pages in length. However, people are saying they're finding success with 10,000-20,000 word novellas. I'd love to put out a few novellas (<50 pages)...

    Thinking about outsourcing my SEO

    MARKETING 
    This. Additionally, the problem with people suggesting that you learn SEO lies in the fact that, by the time you get up-to-date with how things work, Google has just dumped 2 more algorithm updates, making your knowledge obsolete and potentially harmful to your rankings. If you're really...

    Give me feedback on our latest Print AD

    If that particular ad is going into car magazines, then the lambo in the keyhole makes a hell of a lot more sense and makes me like the ad much, much more. Despite what others may be saying, I don't think the headline copy is bad. Changing it too much to "unlock the secret to wealth!" or...

    Give me feedback on our latest Print AD

    Also not a fan of the lambo. I know it's a part of your brand, but it's way overdone.

    Coffee Lid Sells $1 Million

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Just goes to show that even niche items can generate some nice income. I can't say I've ever really seen many people outside of the south ever drinking from mason jars (and it's rare even there), but I guess just because you don't see something every day, doesn't mean there isn't a market for it.

    Trademark Help

    As stated in my original post, I've already discovered that the root term "Enerjuice" is an owned trademark. (Whether the trademark is still active or not is in question). Trying to trademark the term I'm currently using (Enerjuiced) would be pretty pointless due to Confusing similarity -...

    Trademark Help

    If any of you have been following the case study at my site, you know I'm working on a niche site project called "Enerjuiced." It came to my attention yesterday, that a very closely related term, "Enerjuice" is being used by several people/companies and is even trademarked by some nutri...

    Progress Thread: Stock Photography

    EXECUTION 
    I think the demand for stock photography is going to continue to increase, so I like getting into this space. I've thought about trying to find my way into it as well. :) I spend a fair amount of time hunting stock images for my projects, so I'll offer some advice. 1. Initial homepage design...

    5000 x $70/month = $4.2m per year? Not bad for a forum, I'd say.

    Green smoothies

    HOT! 
    Absolutely is a need for these types of drinks in an on-the-go level. Walking into 7-Eleven and grabbing one on the way to the gym would have people buying these up left and right. Not to mention, removing the cost of the juicer, prep, and cleaning makes it a win. Only problem I can see you...

    Building a Forum!

    Pretty sure if I had the gumption I could rattle of a sizable list of forums that are clearing high 6 to low 7 figures a year or more. They can be a viable way to a 7 figure bankroll. As for the bolded part above, that mentality can be applied to every single online business on the planet...

    Need your advice to improve an ecommerce store

    MARKETING 
    Pretty much agree with all of this. Your first priority should be a complete redesign of the site itself. Graphics, layout, search engine optimization, pretty much the whole thing. The product pages don't even have a description of what the product is, what it's made out of, and why your...
