    How to make money with your blog?

    I found the best payoff for my blog was from networking, not advertising. To this day I have not placed ads on my blog (I think there might be one or two disclosed affiliate links on there.) If you want to harvest big dollars off a blog -- either through advertising or business opportunities --...

    Adult Entertainment Industry Wants a Bailout

    I always thought the US should have plastered the middle east with porn; why not bring on Larry Flink as a military contractor?

    Is college completely necessary?

    HOT! 
    MJ asked me to reply to this thread, and I think I might be able to provide some helpful ideas. I've posted about this on various boards before but I believe this is probably the best way I have articulated things yet. This is not a question with a yes/not good/bad answer. The answer depends on...

    Where Has All the Money Gone???

    HOT! 
    Good explanations so far in this thread. The problem was that the driving force in the global economy for the past involved debt growth on a level with no historical comparison. The brakes really haven't been "slammed"; its all been playing out of the past couple of years -- take a look at when...

    Tangled Web

    Pen & paper plus roboform. Thats all you need. I'm in the boat of -- write down individually unique passwords verse use only one or two across everything. I probably have 500 to 1000 usernames and passwords.

    How long will the ball roll?

    INVESTING 
    By economy flowing, do you mean giving millions of unqualified people access to massive leverage? Look at assets prices in Japan... it could be a decade before prices in the US start to appreciate. Business is still happening and money is being made in the US and Japan. Just don't count on the...

    Custom Gaming Computers: A lost cause?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    This was my first business, we never sold one computer :) The problem is most gaming computer buyers fall in to 2 categories -- either they want something cheap and will go with Dell. Or they want something powerful and build their own. Its very hard to price out a PC and slap your margin on...

    Prepare for the worst

    HOT! 
    Correct. But I was addressing the value of the dollar -- "If the dollar collapses" -- meaning the value of the dollar drops, that means the value of whatever the dollar is being valued against, euro, yen, yuan, has to go up. I never said this would happen, nor do I believe it will happen...

    SEO plug in for vbulletin

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Do you mean vBSEO? I use it. It definitely helps you rather than hurts you. I'm not going to go into detail, but from a price to value standpoint, its worth it. The primary issue is that a lot of database driven software programs write URLs in such a way that is search engine unfriendly. That...

    Prepare for the worst

    Bartering and hunting food? Are you guys serious? In order for the dollar to collapse, it means other currencies are exploding. If you believe that will happen, all of your assets should be in commodities or overseas. There are a lot of things that can or could happen. Hedge your bets and...

    My Review: AmexExpress Platinum Card

    From discussing this with friends who spend 7+ figures a year, American Express Starwood card followed by the American Express Plum are the best deals when it comes to credit cards right now. The points from the Starwood card come to equal 2-3% cash back depending on when/where you use the...

    What business courses have you taken?

    Business Law and Accounting are good classes to take and very appropriate for the classroom. The other stuff you are better off figuring out for yourself.

    Blog/bad idea?

    IDEA 
    Its not a bad place to start. You will learn a lot about how to get traffic online and monetize what you have (but you have to actually try hard and make a point to learn, or else you are wasting a ton of time.) I would stick with Wordpress on your own domain. That way you actually own and...

    Update On Me

    I'll be the a$$ here (as usual), but how many "safe" borrowers need $13k, or less, and will pay 10%+? Granted I know nothing about real estate investing, but if I saw any small business owner looking to borrow that amount at that interest rate it would be a massive red flag for being near...

    Question about backlinks

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Pay more attention to getting your links on high traffic, trusted sites. If you sig has to do with the forum you are posting on, go for it. If not, I wouldn't do it. I don't want to sound discouraging. In order to succeed here you need to do things that deliver big results. A generic domain...
