    The last time I smoke

    Considering nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs in the world, widely available and legal, anyone who has quit or is trying to quit deserves some measure of respect. Is it stupid to start in the first place? Sure. But, as with any addictive substance (even something as widely accepted as...

    48% of Americans Want to Be Entrepreneurs

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That's simply because they are giving the consumers what they want instead of what they need. People reading entrepreneurial success stories don't want to hear about how much hard work and sacrifice a person put up with to reach their goals. They want to hear about all the luxury and wealth...

    Discovering a Need

    EXECUTION 
    I certainly agree with this. Normal people ignore complaining and whining, because it's annoying and they don't want to hear it. Entrepreneurs look for complaining and whining, because it's worth $$$. Anywhere that people freely talk, complain, rant, ask, etc is going to be a gold mine for...

    48% of Americans Want to Be Entrepreneurs

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The article should be titled, "48% of Americans Want to Be Wantrepreneurs." Because that's all it's really suggesting with lines like, "Not only that, almost half of all Americans are harboring entrepreneurial dreams of their own." and "Additional research by UPS found 48% of Americans said they...

    Is this doable?

    Agree with Doc, being a middle man, so that you're the one handling the cash, is all I can come up with to not get screwed out of commissions (but, then again, I haven't slept so I'll try again later). Also... Did this... instantly make anyone else think of this...

    Could you rate my website? no marketing, just honest opinions

    MARKETING 
    Yeah - Post should be Post/Publish and Preview should be Preview. You're going to need to simplify that if you want it to be widely used. New users won't take the time to figure all that out. They'll try it like I did, get confused as to why "Post" isn't publishing their webpage, and just leave...

    Could you rate my website? no marketing, just honest opinions

    MARKETING 
    Tried making a post, hit "Post" and it died. Didn't know what to do next because the software simply did nothing. I wasn't prompted to preview or publish my post, it just sat there. If you're going to try to compete in this space, in my opinion, your software should be dead-simple to use and...

    While you are right about the overwhelming amount of free "everything" on the net, underestimating how incredibly lazy people are will have you leaving money on the table.

    Need Advice on Selling My Digital Product

    MARKETING 
    Hmm, maybe not. I see that your sales copy is trying to specifically target interviewers in medium/large businesses. Initially, I thought it was also targeting small business owners and managers of all types who routinely lack hiring knowledge (Why aren't you targeting them also?). For a target...

    Movie looks great. I'll have to check out the book. It didn't have a release date on the trailer, any idea when that's scheduled to hit theaters?

    Even "Yahoo! Finance" writes about how the "Slowlane" can ruin your life!

    SLOWLANE 
    That's more of the point I was trying to get at. That's what I think is wrong. Not the lending of money itself.

    In the world of online marketing and sales, traffic is the golden rule. He (or she :)) who has the traffic, makes the rules. Just take a look at Google. Just about the entire internet bends to the whims of each Google algorithm update because they have a ton of traffic. Figure out how you're...

    Traffic not converting in my B2B e-commerce site.. What else should I do?

    MARKETING 
    Well, I can't comment much on PPC, but organic SEO is a longer-term play. It's one of the few ways to get traffic that you can't just throw money at. Even haphazardly throwing money at link building services can backfire or fail if it looks highly unnatural to Google. Hiring freelancers for...
