    Blog Expertise Needed! How do I get my blog to outperform my medium presence?

    EXECUTION 
    Hey guys, I've been running a science blog (wordpress) for a little over a year now. I have been putting in steady effort into the content (over 200 quality posts this year). The results are mixed; the traffic is poor on the main website. I am currently monetizing the main website only via...

    A Money System That Is Actually Working For Me

    I'm doing everything from my account, but I'm restricted as to what I can do as a retail trader in the country of operation. Furthermore: 1. Considerable tax benefits (in the country in which I am operating from) 2. Scalability - possibility to open up to investors / customers later (actually...

    It is a investment firm, and works like a hedge fund in its operation, but it's not open to external funding / investment for now.

    Thanks for your interest, @Tom H. I'm going through the tough and boring phase of setting up the paper-work and shit in order to set this thing up as a company. It's no fun; there's no glamour about it, but it has to be done. One of the most difficult things that I am faced with is working with...

    I'm trying to build a company out of this, so I've currently completely closed down Alpha (still continuing to develop it). However, in the OP, you'll find a beta portfolio. Take that portfolio, and run the numbers over whichever time period you'd prefer. The data is available on the web. Having...

    No, not yet. Ideally, I would like to do this, but I'm simply not big enough. It will have to wait for the future. Having said that, it is pretty inexpensive to simulate similar effects by diversified existence in discrete markets, being markets themselves, and not being available in any...

    Your line of thought / understanding originates from the efficient market theory. And I have to point out that this is a theory. Markets largely 'tend' to be efficient, and are 'never' perfectly efficient. Some of the prime reasons: human nature, subjective value, time delta effects, and...

    Glad the simple explanation was able to give you an idea. My answers to your questions: 1. No, and yes. I do not do back testing, as this leads to a phenomenon called data mining (models tend to go into superstitious behaviour based on curve fitting). My system uses systemic mathematics, and...

    Hello all, I just thought I'd post an update on this topic / situation. I closed 2020 very strongly. I'm not going into numbers as they are irrelevant for this post. After a tonne of experimenting with other possible ventures for 2021, I came to the realisation that this money system is the...

    Slowlane even though following CENTS

    Okay, then I confess that I don't fully understand the financial situation. If the 100K was already deployed, and assuming the business has a revenue of 5K per year over 10 years, that's 50K in total. So is he in a loss of 50k gross, neglecting the fact that the funding was external?

    What about repurposing his app/platform for other niches? That way, he can scale to different user base markets. And what is the €100k doing? If it is just sitting in a bank account, it needs to made use of more efficiently.

    Is there a market for inventing languages?

    Thanks for sharing your little story man. It is the same emotion that's driving me on this one. Kids are generally intrigued by such concepts, before the script beats it out of them. Your own version of enigma? You've got to share more about it. I'm curious. :D

    Thanks a lot for elaborating, mate. That adds another problem to the list that I have to solve if I am to go to the market with this. I'm glad I created this thread! :D

    I see our discussion as completely relevant to this thread, @George Appiah. The main purpose of this thread is for me to listen to what you guys have to say. This is not about me defending my ideas. Therefore your critique is welcome, and I'm learning by engaging you in discussions. So I thank...

    Is there a market for inventing languages?

    I consider digital cryptography more or less a solved problem for the common folk; at the very least, I havent' suffered any problems that need extra solving here yet. I'm not considering the problems being solved by current military technology development. What I often find / come across is...

    Is there a market for inventing languages?

    Quite a few people with whom I spoke about this idea personally expressed similar intentions like you. I think the fundamental thing I realised out of the process so far is that this idea appeals to the creative side of people, and more crucially, it appeals to kids. As a kid, I always wanted to...

    Is there a market for inventing languages?

    I haven't developed spoken languages yet; just the script, as I have not yet needed to communicate or share cryptic journal information with others yet. I value your ideas, and realise that the spoken component could be key in stitching it into a game based product. Thanks for your suggestions...
