    Passive-ish Cashflowing Business Models for a Holdco Or Investment Portfolio (Not Your Main Business)

    IDEA 
    This is really good, man. Thanks. Yeah, I am not opposed to a little bit of work here and there, I don’t always need 100% passivity, more like 98-99%. These businesses are interesting and if you build a team of good people you like and respect, I think the active part is actually enjoyable. I...

    Passive-ish Cashflowing Business Models for a Holdco Or Investment Portfolio (Not Your Main Business)

    IDEA 
    Hey everyone, Like just about everyone, I am interested in passive, cash-flowing businesses. There is a place for the obscure crypto coin or seed stage venture investment that might 10000x in 10 years (providing zero cashflow along the way) but I prefer dependable cashflow. It seems that most...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    Hey there, My main business is in affiliate marketing. Essentially, I sell a rather basic product in the health & beauty niche at volume through affiliates. This model has done very well for me but is a huge headache, unsustainable, and isn't creating a real brand with an exponential growth...

    Critique my fastlane plan

    EXECUTION 
    Here's another idea I had to really speed things up... After severance runs out, attend a ~$10k coding bootcamp to become a web developer. I would try to work remotely from the get go, but it's more likely I would have to come into an office for about a year and then go remote. But a remote...

    Critique my fastlane plan

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks guys, it gives me a ton of additional confidence since people who have already left the rat race like the plan. Medical research does make me nervous but I will do it until I can replace the $2000/mo in income with real estate. That should take about 5 properties, so I will need 50-75k...

    Critique my fastlane plan

    EXECUTION 
    Brian, that is the goal. But I need 15k for every new property I buy. I would feel really good if I could get one every two months. Each property will ultra-conservatively net me $400/mo. So as you can see that could take awhile to get to 10k/month from my current 5k. It's definitely doable, I...

    Critique my fastlane plan

    EXECUTION 
    Yes it is a one time thing and will hopefully return 6k once my inventory sells out. I like your comment about "but." Language is powerful. I struggle with self doubt at times. I also like your comment about the broke at 40 thought not being helpful. But it is scary at times when I see friends...

    EXECUTION 
    Hi! I was just laid off from my job in the oil industry and am going to use this as an opportunity to get my fastlane where I want it to be. The job was eating 18+ hours a day of my time and made it difficult to do anything else. I look at it as a positive! I will have a year of $2k/month...

    MARKETING 
    Right, some months I hit 16-17k total. But passive is all that matters to me since I have goals to knock out some bucket list items for a few years, which requires not having a job. All I've done my entire life is work so I would like to be more well rounded.

    MARKETING 
    Yeah, it's because I have no life, haha. I can live once I'm in the fastlane. I have two years maximum, and I'll be 31 so I can deal with that. My real estate does about 4-5k net per month tax free currently. I have no other source of passive income at the moment, so I'm not close to 10k yet

    MARKETING 
    I am thinking about turning the product into a straight sale CPA offer and putting it on affiliate networks since my friend owns one. It's expensive to make the landing page and whatnot so I thought id test the waters with amazon. As far as pushing traffic to it myself, I might dabble a bit in...

    MARKETING 
    Hey guys, new here. The last time I posted was in an affiliate marketing AMA thread. I'm happy to say that thanks in large part to the OP, I found success in driving paid traffic to CPA offers. From November 2013 to April 2014 I made several hundred thousand dollars doing so, while working my...

    I did their trial and ripped a bunch of PPV landers. I found their target feature useless; maybe I was using it wrong, but it would show a bunch of really strange websites. I wasn't too impressed, so I actually installed gamevance on my comp. My diet popup was taken directly from a popup when...

    I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the idea. Maybe it's just rough for diet right now because its near thanksgiving. I suppose I won't find out til I've exhausted all options. Seems like alot of guys, probably including yourself, run diet year round successfully though.

    [AMA] $25m+ in affiliate mktg revenue & exiting the game: Ask me anything.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Something else I realized... If you bid the minimum $.011 on trafficvance you're paying $11 cpm. One of my offers gets 1.5% clickthru from the PPV popup to my lander (flog), a 15% clickthru from the flog to the offer, and a 15 conversion rate at the offer. I'm losing about 75% on it...

    Can I do what you do on a smaller level or does it only work on that scale? I got a guy to get me the top 10k URLs, irrespective of what the site is about. I was going to test these until I drop $1000-1500 (instead of your 10-15k) (talking about a net loss of 1000-1500...so the test will...
