I'm new around here and figured I'd jump right into the mix and do an AMA. Here's the short version on me ...
I've been online since 1998. Financially speaking I've gone through the lowest of lows, and the highest of highs. I've made millions, and I've lost millions. At my peak I was making around $250k a month in profits online.
I've made tons of money as an affiliate, and also selling my own info products and web apps/services.
My bread and butter though is straight lead gen via paid traffic. I've spent millions on advertising, and I’ve literally generated millions of leads online both for myself and other companies.
I'm a direct response marketer - I don't do SEO, and I don't do "social media".
I also don’t do mobile. I know nothing about mobile advertising or creating apps. Was just too busy killin' it to learn something new when mobile came along...
I actually don't love Internet marketing - it turns out I'm just pretty good at it. If I'm being completely honest, it has always just been about the money for me.
Now that money isn't much of a motivating factor, I really don’t have much interest in this stuff any more so I’m going to take a break and see how I feel in 6 months or so.
In the meantime I’m going to start looking in to some other businesses, getting active here on the forums, and I’m looking forward to learning and sharing as much as I can.
Oh yeah, one more thing I should tell you up front …
Much of what I’ve done isn’t very fastlane. I spent far too long “grinding” and “hustling” rather than building real businesses and real assets. That’s one of my biggest regrets.
I can’t complain – but I definitely need to be more mindful of this going forward.
OK I think that’s it for now so go ahead and ask me anything!
*** UPDATE ***
While I'd like to individually help everyone in the world, it's obviously not possible. There's no way I can keep up with this thread AND PMs. Please don't PM me questions, unless it also includes some kind of lucrative rev-share offer or you're willing to pay me at least 5-figures monthly as an advisor.
