    I've made millions online - ask me anything!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Congrats on doing so well with aff. marketing and persisting to never give up in that industry. I come from that background myself and know what you're dealing with. Some crazy numbers have been and are still being made by the best of the best affiliates and lead arbitragers like yourself...

    Have you invested into internet advertising? What was the outcome?

    MARKETING 
    If the keywords in your campaign are high volume keywords - then normally you would see proportionate traffic increase along with budget increases (e.g. going from $50 to $100 could roughly double your traffic). That is - only up to a certain point of course. Because every keyword reaches a...

    Hello - I'm over 50, still learning, still changing

    Nice and thought-provoking first post (could be made part of the Slowlane section of MJ's book if he ever wants to do an edited version of it) - welcome in, Ron! Like zend***phin pointed out - you have come to the right place here. This is possibly the best forum environment on earth for those...

    Have you invested into internet advertising? What was the outcome?

    MARKETING 
    Welcome to the forum. The first question you need to ask yourself is whether or not your website or product is suitable for display advertising. You will find that some products and services will work better with a search-based campaign, while others will outperform search via banners. That...

    Progress Thread : Affiliate Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Indeed! Affiliate marketing violates several of these - mainly Control, Time, and Entry. You are only somewhat meeting Need and Scale (and the last one only after working and spending at it for quite some time). A good Fastlane idea executed well already has Scale in its roots at birth.

    HOW TO: Search for and buy domain names before your registrar does

    Most of the time you will probably be fine. But I rather do my checks the safest way possible instead of risking to lose a potentially important name to someone else. Anyone can set up their own 3rd party domain checker site with some simple code and scripts. Those same people may or may not...

    Sinbad files for bankruptcy, buy his book.

    Nice... another celebrity with no control over money bites the dust. How do you let it get that bad? Maybe it was "mismanagement" by his accountant. (like Nicholas Cage, lol)

    I am from Denmark and kick a$$ at failing!

    Very nice to have you here - velkommen! ;) (I'm from Norway and there are a couple of other Scandinavians on here too)

    altabob; I have to agree strongly with what theag said. That is, I wish you would take that $3k and rather spending on building something that you own. I speak from experience, and I'm saying this to help you out. Please read the post I wrote here...

    11 Poverty Traps You Must Escape if You Ever Want to be Rich

    EXECUTION 
    Quality post right there MJ. I just shared it on FB, LinkedIn, and Twitter. ;) Wouldn't it be interesting if you could somehow track the "conversion rate" on an article like this - and see how many of those who read it actually decided to make a change in their life?

    HOW TO: Understand Fastlane Business Mathematics

    GOLD! 
    It's all pretty much the same, except in that case - your growth would be calculated a bit differently, based on customer retention. When I find some time, I will try to update the spreadsheet with this.

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    Yes I have. It's about 90% complete, but lacks a couple more things + a checkout. It also needs to be made responsive. :)

    Before I order 1000+ bottles of supplement, I need a plan!

    Amen to that.. :)

    Having doubts - overcoming fear of competition.

    MINDSET 
    Yes exactly. And if you think about most purchase decisions that people make - they are most often NOT based on price alone. That would only hold true for commodities like gas, sugar, flour, etc. Most often - people shop with their emotions and perceptions (conscious or subconscious), just like...

    My progress: creating a product

    EXECUTION 
    That sucks. Was it a quality issue from how they were made, or did they simply not create things to your specs?

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah I will post another update here soon. I decided to make a change in the label, which means I need to do another re-print of it. I'm on track though and excited to start selling soon. @HD_edacity; Yeah it's always good to check around for pricing and terms from several companies. Some will...

    Having doubts - overcoming fear of competition.

    MINDSET 
    Hey there, No doubt there are some huge players with big wallets in the nutraceutical business. I, and a couple of other people here, are entering this space too. But the most important thing you have against even the biggest competitors is bringing your own uniqueness to your product. If you...

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    Hey HD; Yeah like 1step pointed out - that sounds high. But then again, costs could be lower for us here in the US. Was this a Canadian private labeling company that quoted you that price? See if you can contact some more manufacturers and compare prices. If it's an existing formula like you...
