    Gymnastics website

    With highly specialized knowledge in a field, you have potential to provide a really valuable resource to an industry that's recognized worldwide (hi Olympics). The key to such an idea is going to rely solely on execution. Think training videos, gymnastics class reviews by state for the US...

    Get Your a$$ in Gear Video Collection

    MINDSET 
    Every now and then we all need a little motivation. Or, a not so subtle reminder that you should get off your lazy a$$, stop with the mental masturbation and get back to work. Here's to hoping this thread can become an excellent collection of videos that dish out that extra push...

    Done with SEO/IM game - Building a Brand

    Why people continue to build around Google (or refuse to diversify) will always be lost on me. I understand that Google is the biggest kid on the playground, with the most candy (traffic), but when one algorithm shift can directly have a massive impact on your income, or wipe it out altogether...

    Competing with MailCheat(Chimp)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Just allowing affiliate marketing, at all, is competing with MailCheat(Chimp). Last I heard, MailCheat(Chimp) doesn't allow affiliate marketing of any kind. Most serious affiliate marketers I know of use Aweber. In fact, pretty much everyone uses Aweber. They are the 800lb gorilla in this space and they have...

    Nobody Responds to your Cold E-mails? You might be Selfish.

    MINDSET 
    The problem isn't that you were being selfish, it's that you weren't playing to his selfishness. People, by their very nature, are all about "me, me, me." Even the most kind-hearted soul on the planet spends the vast majority of their time thinking about themselves, how to get what they want...

    Challenge: Go Live In 14 Days

    Getting something up and running in 14 days is definitely do-able. If you're really shooting for a single sale in 14 days, just to prove to yourself that you can, instead of building a "real" site, I would just try to put together a really clean, sharp landing page (single webpage with one...

    Challenge: Go Live In 14 Days

    14 days is a pretty short time-frame to build a new site and get it profitable without prior experience. If you don't know anything about site building, feel free to check out my current case study, as it can get you going in the right direction as far as purchasing a domain name, web hosting...

    Any bloggers here who could provide me with feedback on this?

    I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure the popular membership site scripts out there already have this option. Not only that, they give you full control over the software, price points, membership levels, amount of content locked, etc.

    What does your days look like?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    LOL What!? You mooch off your parents and attempt to justify it by saying you have a "fastlane mentality" and won't trade your time for money? What the hell is this? Shake. My. Head.

    selling counterfeit goods fast lane?

    EXECUTION 
    I wasn't saying building a business is easier than stealing from people. I'm saying, in the long run, building a business is going to pay out WAY more than going from one scam to the next, as most scammers do.

    selling counterfeit goods fast lane?

    EXECUTION 
    The saddest part of all is, if scammers put in half the effort that they spend ripping people off into a legitimate business, they would probably be wildly successful. Why scam for 60 hours to steal $1000 when you can give value for 40 hours and make $2000? I'll never understand it.

    Husband and wife team pull in $100,000 per month with e-books...

    PUBLISHING 
    This is a pretty good story. Chalk another success story up to self-publishing. I've been pretty interested in getting into this space, as books can provide some pretty nice passive income. Take this couple for example, they can probably take a year off now and it will likely not affect their...

    Retailmenot files for $230M IPO - The Deal Pipeline (SAMPLE CONTENT: NEED AN ID?) RetailMeNot does pretty much what you describe. If I understand correctly, they do offline deals, online deals, etc. For the most part, their site is simply a MASSIVE affiliate site (which, in itself, is pretty...

    Hello...for the second time in 3 years....let's try the Fastlane again!

    Good to hear. Just remember, a site doesn't have to be super "flashy" to look amazing and provide great value/information. In web design, a lot of the time, less is more and simplicity dominates.

    The Road to Success is Paved Alone - Entrepreneurial Depression

    HEALTH 
    I was thinking about this during my workout and thought I would post here to see what other Fastlaners think about this topic. An Entrepreneur, by it's very definition, is someone who goes against the grain and takes risks. People are naturally risk adverse and generally follow the path of...

    Introducing......TheVaporsphere, my startup

    Images for your catalog could be cleaned up a bit and served with unified dimensions. A little styling can go a long way on these pages. Oddly shaped images for each listing and lack of styling can make your products look cheap. Individual product pages could show the actual product they're...

    Hello...for the second time in 3 years....let's try the Fastlane again!

    Stating the obvious here, but why aren't you running a men's dating site then? Anyway... I'll offer a little feedback, I guess. First, if you're serious about your business, get off of wordpress.com free platform and start your own .com. Assuming people are stupid and that they won't know...
