    How do I start selling?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Looks like you are going the create a product route. I think that is fine. Affiliate programs are easier to get into, but I do not think you can ever go wrong having your own product. That being said, I would recommend saving money on creation. A great lesson I learned from marketing great Jay...

    Fastlane Potenial plan Nead advice?

    I have read your OP a couple times to try to figure out what you are asking. You are only doing this regionally and thus one main competitor? How many recruiters and biz owners did you actually survey? What would concern me is that they said price of other was too high. You really don't want to...

    Making money from an informative site

    I have to agree with healthstatus on here. I appreciate gold's thoughts, but I do not think his/her advice is taking the whole picture into account. Ranking for keywords and doing seo is a portion of a site making money. There are plenty of ways to make money as long as you have a product to...

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Alright, then your issue is finding what to sell of course. The only rule is sell soemthing that is already selling. You do not want to try and sell fuzzy playing cards for instance. There are two routes to go here. Physical products or digital. Let's start with digital/affiliate. Choose...

    Alright, let me give away what I used to charge people for back in the day:smxB: If this is truly brandable and can make money, then here is your way to make money with literally NO work: Find a relevant product or service that matches this market. Make sure they have an affiliate program you...

    How to flip/sell a new website?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Wow, I think you are probably about 3 years too late to really capitalize on the flipping fast trend. I did it a few years ago, but market dried up fast with downturn in economy. Used to be able to flip easily for a few hundred with a little technique I used. Flippa is going to be your best bet...

    Most effective way to approach a business?

    Let me take a crack here: No need to lie about your existing customer base. Use a line like this, "I have a system that has worked for over ### of bussinesses in your industry". I am of course assuming you learned this method from someone. Just utilize thier results and experience without saying...

    How do I start selling?

    Can I ask if you are trying to build your own product/business or would you like to sell other people's products as either an affiliate or dropshipper? If you can answer that question I think I can help point you in the right direction.

    A La Mode is officially in business!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    A great looking site for sure. I really think you are going to do well. I like how you are focusing a sub-niche within a niche; being 'professional petite clothes'. Can you tell us (briefly) how you are driving traffic? BTW, hopefully I can hit you up for an article for my magazine in a couple...

    First of all Happy New Year! I hope this is cool to post here, because I am not selling anything. I have really enjoyed the forums here. Other than MJ, one of my favorite authors is Felix Dennis. He started Maxim magazine among other titles. I read his book, How To Get Rich, and was really...

    $800 Sponsored Post - Yes or No?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    OP - Did you post what your product sells for? If you have a product that converts at 2% selling at $199 that is big difference than a $17 product. To make this decision you should have some basic conversion details and testing to see before laying out that kind of dough.

    Should I Hire Freelancer to Help with Backlinks?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    For anyone doubting the power of Google and back links, try this experiment: Go Google the words Click Here. Out of 3.7BILLION indexed pages Adobe Reader is first result. No where on that page does the term 'Click Here' appear. It is because all of the pages linking to that page with the term...

    Should I Hire Freelancer to Help with Backlinks?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I frequent both forums and would never use wicked fire. It has some very heavy hitters for sure, but if you are not one of them you are not welcome. I became friends with one and he is cool, but even he hates it there. The warrior forum classifieds are completely legit. I am speaking...

    Should I Hire Freelancer to Help with Backlinks?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Definitely outsource, you must have backlinks,but you should not do them. Do not use odesk for this though. Goto warrior forum and go to classifieds for hire. You will see lots of backlink services for good deals. Also there will be lots of reviews from people who bought before you. Try to only...

    Do I Need to Change My Checking Account for New LLC?

    I am moving one of my business entities from a sole proprietor DBA to a new LLC (btw, I chose Wyoming to file, I recommend you look into as well). I already have a business checking account tied to this name. I am wondering if I have to get a new account, because although I am using same name I...

    How to discover whether your idea has customer demand?

    IDEA 
    Definitely run the ads. You can project clicks to buyers at about 20% as long as your ad is specific to buyers. Of course not all clicks are buyers, but 20% is a good measuring stick. Also are there competitors advertising? Go check out their ad history using Spyfu. If they have been up and...

    Payroll tax cut: Fight to pay for it

    INVESTING TAXES | REGS 
    That is exactly the argument. I do not think it is a political argument as much as economics. Some politicians bought into what is known as the Laffer Curve (economist Arthur Laffer). Basically he said that a 100% tax would produce no revenue because no one would buy. Also a 0% would obviously...
