    Made a website as a joke. Can it be something more?

    midnight update: Just landed a paying customer at a party! Makes me think the website needs some tweaking.

    For those of you that wanted updates: Made a few changes to the site, including adding a blog and a funny video. The video was a "breaking news" style video, purchased on fiverr. It didn't come out exactly the way I wanted, but that's generally how fiverr goes. My original idea was to have the...

    Oh man, if some rich dude would just sue me... all this hard work would finally pay off.

    Does anyone run a humor/gag newsletter?

    Agreed. Already working on that. Just seeing if there was an appropriate existing audience I could channel as well.

    Does anyone run a humor/gag newsletter?

    Probably a long shot, but if you run an email newsletter for a humor based website/company, or would appropriately feature such a company in your newsletter, I'd love to talk to you about a promotional opportunity. Currently I run a "prank" type website. It is still undergoing some changes, but...

    That seems a bit extreme. A prank website is a silly thing to waste a smear campaign on. I'm flattered that you think I'm a worthy target though.

    To bully someone, by definition, means to "use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants." In this sense, I'm pretty hard to bully ;)

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read it a few months ago. Might even be time for a reread.

    Have to credit my awesome developer for that one. She used Django and bootstrap. It's all custom.

    Well...maybe they "shouldn't spend too much time worrying about what other people think." I kid. DicksbyMail.com is a website that sends people a bag of gummy penises and tells them to "eat a bag of dicks." Maybe you don't see the value in that either, but that is a website that went viral...

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Well, I want good-spirited ridicule, a la Dicksbymail.com. Not something people would kill themselves over. There are already anonymous email services that send people both helpful and not-so-helpful letters informing them about their body odor. edit: I guess it depends on the person, but I...

    There's an option to send a message with it... looks like that needs to be more apparent. I've been working on a stock letter to go with it as an alternative, but I couldn't decide if it should be mean or helpful :p maybe I'll offer one of each.

    Well, this isn't set in stone... right now it's just generic soap.

    Everyone knows a smelly person, but nobody wants to be the one to confront them about their hygiene. So my partner/developer and I had a dumb idea. Why not start a service that allows people to send soap-o-grams, anonymously? We designed the website in 1 day and it went live soon after. My...

    Well, there are no real "contacts" to speak of. I can't use the accounts I sold as contacts, and I don't really keep in touch with anyone from work any more. It was a cut-throat place with a really, really high turnover rate (107% when I started, reduced to about 50% over 5 years). As far as...

    Hey all, My name is Maria. Been lurking here and there for a while now. Little backstory: I dropped out of community college. Twice. I got a job as a sales agent, learned everything I could about sales and selling over the phone, became a top agent, got promoted to sales lead, managed a team...
