    It just rained and I'm spinning out?

    What do you mean by this? You only need one product to sell, so I don't see why having many products would matter.

    17 year old here with restrictive parents

    Well some how you must have gotten permission to trade stocks and options. So why don't you just try to use the same techniques you used to convince your mom to let you do that. IMO an e-commerce site is a lot less risky than stock options, so maybe if you just try hard to explain what exactly...

    The Car Wash Business

    Those averages seem very high to me. If a car wash costs $10 you would need to wash 136 cars every day of the year to gross $500,000. In an eight hour day that is close to a car wash every four minutes. Seems a bit unreasonable to expect that much IMO. But if those numbers are correct and that...

    Past the million milestone, but keeping an eye on the prize

    EXECUTION 
    I enjoyed that story a lot. It is really amazing that at 28 years old you were able to get 350k loan and start a research company who's main costumer was the government! How did you end up getting the loan, did you just get lucky or were there other investers?

    I would recommend optimizing your site for the search engines (seo). Find a keyword with decent search volume and low competition in your niche and get your site to the top of google.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have disagree with you, I don't think that is true at all. Sure some of the guys on these sites are terrible but its the same as hiring people for any job... There will be guys that are great at what they do and ones that are not, you need to know how to weed out the bad ones. If you take the...

    How often you get ideas?

    IDEA FTE 
    Great idea, I am going to try that soon. Sometimes I will search on twitter things like "I hate" and see what people have to say but I think you're idea will work even better. +++Speed!

    My plan for the coming year

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I completely agree with your opinons on advertising. Advertising is hard to get right, you need enough to make it a viable source of revenue but not to much that it scares away readers. Right now I think your site would work well with text link ads from adsense below each article but above the...

    My plan for the coming year

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Could you PM your link. Any plans for monetization besides the ebook? Generally with content based sites such as your own, advertisements are incorporated into the site for a steady income stream. Make sure you build a list with your site, so that you can pitch new products and affiliate...

    Creating a Iphone Application

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    So you would recommend this over paying a one time up front fee? Also on a side note does anyone know how to keep developers from running off with your idea and doing it them selves?

    Prosperent - Finally a great adsense alternative

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    So let me know if I am reading this correctly. You sign up for this advertising network and designate locations for your ads. This service will place ads on your site based on context just as adsense would but it is an affiliate network so you don't make money on every click. If I correctly...

    Which ad networks are the best? (biggest returns for publishers)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Maybe Facebook advertising. You can choose the exact demographics you wish to target which is really cool. I haven't used it but have heard from many IMers how good it is.

    Must Read -- The Bubble of Higher Education

    MINDSET 
    sounds like an interesting read, will have to check it out. If this bubble theory is real, I hope when it pops college education won't be the deciding factor in getting a job. People with degrees aren't always more intelligent - even if they are, its not because college made them that way...

    Diary of Opening A New Business

    NOTABLE! 
    Maybe he is just an excellent at hiring others and managing them, as he said a few posts back he doesn't sell the product himself, which would mean sales wouldn't matter.

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I'm reading "How to Make Money In Stocks" William O'Neil. So far it has been really good, very little fluff and a lot of useful info, of course until I start trading successfully with his system I can't recommend. Recently finished "Think Like A Billionaire" by Donald Trump, it was 100% crap, no...
