    Thinking about buying a Used Luxury Car

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Haha, conduit vehicle, LOL. Good points. Post pics here when you get that jag - even if its an XK :fastlane: (And I promise not to say anything about it being a fancy ford :smxB: ) -Chris

    Thinking about buying a Used Luxury Car

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Oh Lexy... one day you'll come around :-) Those E-types however are freakin' beautiful. IMO a far better buy (even as a stick shift) than a late model XK. Also, why are you averse to the manual tranny? With an old automatic (especially in a vintage Jag!) it's going to be a ticking bomb...

    How to Buy A Ferrari for $20K

    NOTABLE! 
    What markets and offers, you ask? Well, thats where flippa comes in real handy :) Chris PS You can usually sell your site for alot more (if its established and esp if you have a customer base) by approaching the big dogs in your market, as opposed to an auction site like flippa or ebay. They...

    How to Buy A Ferrari for $20K

    NOTABLE! 
    Hey guys, just on the iphone atm, so sorry about brevity... @biophase - true. If you know the game, it makes lots of sense. My recommendation to you would be to focus on buying a portfolio within an overall vertical, rather than just whatever. That way you'll get a far better handle on offers...

    How to Buy A Ferrari for $20K

    NOTABLE! 
    Flippa.com and others are full of stuff like this. But you need to realize that MOST sites like this are "built to sell". Not always, but often. That is why they sell for 1X to 2X earnings. Very low compared to "traditional" valuations. Getting an online store or a larger affiliate site to...

    Thinking about buying a Used Luxury Car

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Firstly - when it comes to used lux/exotics - never compromise. Like another poster said, if you're just buying for "looks" then in 4 months time it will be just become another Buick. You should really learn the ins/outs of the brand, the models and buy what you love. In the case of a BMW, I...

    What Makes a Million Dollar Website?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    This right here is gold, folks. Done this in one market already. Doing it in another as we speak. I don't think many lead-gen affiliates realize that their $39 "leads" often equate to $X,XXX or $XX,XXX+ net profits (sometimes much more) for their buyers from a single customer. Kinda changes...

    What Makes a Million Dollar Website?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    It's not as simple as using a multiplier. The REAL asset online is an active userbase or customer base. If you've got an affiliate site online doing $35K/mo in profit but all your traffic is organic, or otherwise from a single source like PPC - and all you do is refer visitors to the vendor...

    The college decision. "Education vs. Knowledge"

    I was considering this exact question the other day. In terms of ROI I think it's too subjective to really say one way or the other. And yes, obviously we need doctors and other professionals in this world, and they'd sure as hell better be educated before they start operating on people :-)...

    10 million dollar deal (Wish me the Best!)

    Yep... learned that one the hard way. I won't mention the company but I too had once orchestrated a pending "deal" with a multi-national. The offer was to whitelabel our technology and all we wanted really was the customer base. They'd get all the profit, and integration would be fairly...

    Starting an internet Business (Help?)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Craig, In the gaming scene you generally have two very distinct pros and cons: PROS: Relatively easy to generate tons of traffic. 4 or 5 figures a day in unique traffic is not unreasonable once you build up your content, backlinks and exposure/integrations with other networks. CONS...

    What would you go with $150k?

    As an internet guy myself, I would be pretty cautious about doing that. Internet startups are still a dime a dozen. But people who actually know what they're doing and have a track record are very, very rare. Rarer still is someone experienced, has a track record and is doing something they're...

    Giving away an idea

    IDEA 
    Sorry, but this is baseless conjecture. You're lumping an entire industry into one segment. I have some affiliate-driven sites that get less than 100 visitors a day and generate what most consider a full-time income. -Chris

    "Internet Marketing" vs. Entrepreneruship

    MARKETING 
    The "is it a business" test: Can you sell it for more than 2 years revenue? NO = It's a moneymaker, not a business. If it is a business, the barrier to entry is probably too low. YES = Probably. --------------------- This is one thing I find kinda humorous. I have dabbled in a lot of...

    13 Ways To Get To $10 Million In Revenues (Part I)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Yes, it all depends on scale and reach. NetFlix also probably spends stupid money to acquire each customer. I'd say that you want to look at your market. If you can do a subscription model in the entertainment industry - such as WoW or NetFlix - then keep it low and get millions to join. But...

    My best Internet strategy in 12 months of trying to make mo money

    Also if you use a script like Amember.com or Membership Software - Easy Member Pro (my preference) it has a built in OTO functionality, etc. Cheers -Chris

    My best Internet strategy in 12 months of trying to make mo money

    Doesn't need to be big I just reached capacity with our recurring service (details on my blog, TheLazyMarketer.com/blog) yesterday (about 760 members total) in one day from a list that is deceptively small. It launched on the 29th, and it's already capped. Only maybe 5% of the members were...

    James.S: Millionaire by 30

    HOT! 
    Hi James Most ideas that "might be" profitable are dead in the water. Here's an instant success test: AM I SELLING WHAT PEOPLE BUY? If the answer is "no", then your idea has a 99% chance of tanking. Very simple -Chris Source: I've built and marketed over 200 sites in many different...

    Gimme a line of BS.

    I don't think anyone actually has a problem with Suze herself. Clearly, she is successful. It's the fact that she is successful BECAUSE she is fastlane. Not slowlane. Even though her entire business model is based on slowlane teaching. Is that bad? No. I'm sure she has helped millions better...
