    One Simple Idea - Stephen Key

    IDEA 
    Nice to see you back, Stephen :) In your experience, is it a pretty daunting task to get a PPA or even a regular patent internationally? In my head I envision you would need a good team of patent attorneys with experience from various countries, languages, etc. but maybe it isn't as hard as it...

    MARKETING AMA 
    I see what you mean. I'm not entirely sure, but my guess is that it would be based on the most 'prominent' brands in the given category, probably based on amount of listed products each advertiser has, their individual sales performance, or both. Did you notice if your brand showed up there...

    Why import from China? When you can export to China!

    Higher barrier to entry = Even more money to be made for those who go the extra mile. :)

    Why import from China? When you can export to China!

    Nice to hear a perspective like this from someone living there. ;) A while back, I picked up this book at the dollar store (of all places), which I guess covers a lot of what you're talking about here. It's sitting on my bookshelf awaiting a read.. Amazon.com: All the Tea in China: How to...

    MARKETING AMA 
    The PLAs are still relatively new (Google shifted from the old free product ad system to PLAs last summer), so not everything about their ranking algorithm is yet fully understood. However - it is known that both CPC and product feed relevancy are definitely contributing factors. There are...

    Pricing Issues (Way higher than researchable competition)

    I'm with 1step and DrkSide here... and this reminds me of a part of the book "The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur" where he talks about focusing on ONE differentiator, and doing that only. The author says that any business should be focused on ONE of these, and never try to be great at all of them...

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

    Yeah I have tried to get ahold of domain owners before too where the address just bounced. What you can try to do is contact the registrar of the domain and see if they can either provide you with an alternative e-mail address for the owner - or if they at least will forward your request to the...

    MARKETING AMA 
    350 imps / 11 clicks is not much at all to base any decisions off of. With roughly 1 click a day it sounds like you either are targeting a very small niche market with low search volume - or you are just not including the right keywords. Also - how many ads and keywords are those numbers spread...

    Worrying about money way too much!

    Lol yeah man... when I was your age I was naive and feel now like I wasted away those years. I just turned 40 last Tuesday and man let me tell you, those years will go by QUICK! :) Enjoy life a little, but make sure to keep focus on the business too.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I didn't see this thread until just now but it looks like zend***phin and theBiz beat me to explaining the gist of the affiliate marketing model here. I can add that for those who want to really learn more about this stuff, go check out forums like IMGrind (paid but supposedly really good), or...

    Worrying about money way too much!

    I know exactly that feeling too from back when I was doing affiliate marketing. It was one of the reasons why I ended up quitting it. It's different when you run a normal business with your own product or services (when you have control)- and easier to relax a little and look at the bigger...

    Best way to learn app programming / development for kids? (teens)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    This is a question for all you app developers here on the forum.. My kids (two boys, 12 and 14) are showing an increasing interest in wanting to learn about app/game creation. My youngest has been using a pc actively since he was 8 and my oldest since he was 10. They are already pretty...

    New Patent rule, USPTO is now to first-to-file, better for the little guys

    I asked Stephen Key for his thoughts on this in his book thread here a while back, and his recommendation is just to be quicker to file. As Dale said - the fact that it is affordable sure helps a lot. :) I have to agree with Dale here though. Not so sure if this will benefit the 'little guy' vs...

    Establish your brand reputation before someone else does

    Well said. And also - it's not even always customers who decide to throw around some negativity, but it could very well also be competitors. I saw this when I did work for clients. Their competitors were consistently attempting to badmouth products or their company name through misleading and...
