    Hello

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forums Craig. That's an awesome realization to have. It's really hard to make money if that's all you're trying to do, but once you start focusing on creating value for others, the money making part becomes easy. You'd be surprised how many people will want to reward you...

    How soon before you form a legal entity?

    I have been waiting to form a personal llc/holding company for the sake of being able to deduct business expenses, but it doesn't make enough sense until you are saving more than it costs to setup. Right now I don't have enough expenses from running my websites to where the tax savings would be...

    Side Hustle or All In to win?

    MINDSET 
    Agreed. Unless you are generating enough money to cover rent and all that good stuff AND still have some cash flow to reinvest in your businesses and other ventures, then side hustle is the only realistic way to do it. My hope is that by the time I'm done with my analyst program, I will be...

    Side Hustle or All In to win?

    MINDSET 
    Side hustle until you build something that can supplement your full-time income, and then go all in. Depends what money means to you. Thanks for the share but the video was a little too introductory. Everyone here is doing one or the other and I don't think this video is going to persuade...

    How do you feel about 2017?

    MINDSET 
    One of my favorite questions to ask people close to me is: "What are a couple things you think I need to do more of in 2018, and a things I need to do less of?" The less of is the easier: for me its drinking, and xbox.

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    Yes, you can take short-term capital losses on it. Or long-term if you held the coins for over 1-year. Net short-term gains against short-term losses. Net long-term gains against long-term losses.

    The 4 Hour Work Week Vs. Millionaire Fastlane

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    That's a great way to put it. I'm a big believer in operating on what I call a "lean information diet" - if I don't need to know something to get my job done well, then I don't want to know it. Albeit, most of the reading I do is on forums such as this and on blogs about SEO, internet marketing...

    The 4 Hour Work Week Vs. Millionaire Fastlane

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Think and Grow Rich is a brutal read. I gave it a shot, and maybe it has something to do with it being written so long ago, but it was so hard to follow and it doesn't provide any actionable advice. If I had to rewrite the whole book in one sentence it would be: "Visualize success and work...

    I won 30k. What to do?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Ah my bad, I misread the sentence where I said I was a CPA and would indemnify and hold harmless anyone who acts upon my opinion. The gambling site he won the money on is in Malta. I highly doubt they are reporting his earnings to Canada. If you find $100 on the ground, do you stash $25 of it...

    I won 30k. What to do?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Lets be honest, he's not going to claim that on his tax return. You would be stupid to do so. Put it in the markets if you don't know what to do yet. I'd personally wait for a pullback, but that's just me. Most of my stuff is in fixed income until we see the correction we have all been waiting...

    Process for transitioning Adsense publisher codes

    MARKETING 
    I am trying to change the data-ad-slot tag too on top of the ca-pub ID. It seems the ads just aren't showing on the website, so hopefully this will fix it.

    Pls rate my giveaway idea

    IDEA 
    This was no easier to understand. My .02 cents (as an analyst at a big investment bank)...no one that is smart and knowledgeable on investing is going to buy your eBook, because we know that someone promising 500bp/week, or even as little as 50bp a week is full of shit. And anyone with that...

    Paid Advertising Crash Course

    GOLD! MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Wow, so much value here. Subscribing to this so I can come back and read it again when I go through my next PPC campaign. It's awesome to see someone give away such detailed, in-depth information on here when you easily could have charged for an eBook or put this on a revenue-generating blog...

    Process for transitioning Adsense publisher codes

    MARKETING 
    Hey guys, This is a little more of a technical post, might not be best for this community but I figure someone here has been through this process before and knows the best-practice for it. I recently purchased a Wordpress site that generates a majority of its revenue from Adsense (and Amazon...

    ROI website tools

    MARKETING 
    I'm a finance/excel guy, so maybe my answer isn't ideal for all people, but nothing beats a good excel model. I build out all my income statements, and analysis tools in excel and then just update the numbers on a monthly basis. Most of my expenses are consistent so they are easy to track on a...

    I'm Mage. Here's my idea

    IDEA 
    Agreed. And you might find a way to do so. And you might not. That is the process of brainstorming and that's how business works. There are many times I get excited about an idea, only to sit down and think more deeply into it and realize it isn't really an opportunity or that there isn't a good...

    I'm Mage. Here's my idea

    IDEA 
    I think you are a little too optimistic on this, and possibly put a bit too much faith in the inherent good inside of people. I agree with @Kid, but am trying to not shoot your idea down without understanding it better. But first, I think you will struggle to get people to use the app. What...

    I'm Mage. Here's my idea

    IDEA 
    My favorite way to learn is by doing and trying. I didn't do any keyword research, or analysis, etc. when I launched my first blog 6 months ago. I have yet to do any sort of social media marketing. What I did was create value, and by doing so, I started to rank well in google and receive organic...

    I'm Mage. Here's my idea

    IDEA 
    Mage, Your idea sounds very idealistic, and not very well planned out. From what I was able to understand, it sounds like you want to create an app where people can reward others for doing positive things in society. Why would I want to receive feedback? Just to feel good about myself? Why...

    Bought some Litecoins, won't arrive till a week later?

    INVESTING 
    Just wait until the market tanks and you have to wait 5 days to get out of it. Once you download the Coinbase app, or make an account online, you can setup your bank account and do a transfer, which takes roughly 4-5 days. If you use a credit card, it is instant but they limit the $ you can do...
