    The Basics of Pricing

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    Great thread @MidwestLandlord! Thanks. Any thoughts on how to increase prices? Increase until sales slow? Will people get pissed if you increase too far and then have to lower (if they paid the higher price?)

    At 18, I admit, I know nothing

    INTRO 
    That is a noble pursuit, but a lot of folks here will advise you to change your goal. Instead of trying to make $100, try to help one person today. Then tomorrow try to help 2 people, and so on. Try to figure out how to make people's lives easier or happier and the money will follow. As long...

    The Blind Men and the Elephant (why you are wrong)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I'm frustrated by many of the arguments here about whether you should do A or B...how people who do A (or B) are stupid. Most notably in my mind are the threads about how buying a house is stupid, how going to college is stupid, and how learning to program is stupid. Usually, these threads go...

    Creepy clown trend

    I believe I saw a press release by @Vigilante about protecting yourself from clowns. He isn't really profiting from it as much as tongue-in-cheek marketing...but perhaps that's the same thing.

    Developing Warrior/Self-Improvement Brand

    HOT! MARKETING 
    You "don't really sell anything", but you are confused about why you aren't getting sales? I don't think most people go to a website, read a few free articles from an unknown guy, then spend a big chunk of change on personal coaching. Start smaller: Free article >> inexpensive ebook >>...

    How does this happen?

    So many people here think there is something wrong with the Sidewalk. They look down on people on the Sidewalk. I think this is a poor way of looking at and evaluating people. There is nothing wrong with the Sidewalk or with having a job. If a person is happy on the Sidewalk then they are on...

    Blogging for Profit (With Legendary GOLD Follow Up Posts)

    GOLD! 
    I think what many people are getting at is that we need to think of ourselves as PUBLISHERS instead of BLOGGERS. I have always seen my website this way in terms of the content produced, but never in the marketing side. I think I may need to look at how publishers market their publications so...

    I need to figure out how to run my site as a business. I have 350,000 page views per month, but I only make a few hundred dollars. As someone said in my Insiders progress thread, AdSense is webmaster welfare. @Vigilante, I'd love to see some of these blogs you speak of so I can look at how...

    Also, if you have to ask, "Is this moral?" then you already know that the answer is NO.

    Is this is even MORAL? Creating a brand and a story.

    MARKETING

    I want to build an apartment rental website.

    There are a few php packages you can look into. Search for 'directories' or 'classifieds'. If you know some basic php and html, you should be able to hack your way through it. I don't have a specific recommendation, but I built a directory and hacked my way to unique features by building off...
