    The Music Industry - Another Idea

    IDEA 
    Well, since my last idea got some great feedback, I thought I'd post a new idea here as well. I figure that by exposing my ideas to a large group of geniuses (which is what this forum seems to be) can save me a lot of time down the road if I decide to pursue the idea. First, a bit of an...

    Large Update to Google's Algorithm

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Didn't see this posted yet. Google made some rather large adjustments to the algorithm. Word on the various internet marketing forums is that ezine articles, squidoo, and hubpages links got slapped pretty damn hard. Hopefully none of you were using them as a main source of income, anyways, but...

    Want Advertisers? Go and Get Them!

    Hey guys, found a really interesting video by Gary Vaynerchuk. It talks about how you can get advertisers for your website, but I think the concept extends past online businesses. This video illustrates how important it is to actually DO something, instead of just sitting around waiting for...

    Staying Healthy During the Process

    I'm sure you all will agree with me that although us Fastlaners spend less years working, those few years are PACKED with sleepless nights, long work hours, cheap food, and health problems. For me personally, all my business ideas seem to involve typing. This week, I've had a pretty major...
