    Finding Industry Specific Writers

    This is true. I've had success using upwork, but it's more of a numbers game there. I remember when I bumped my going rate up by 50c, I was saw an increase of great writers. With that being said, what do you guys think is an acceptable rate? I'm still stuck with the BHW-type content rates...

    Day 5 - Site Design & Competitor Analysis

    Here is what I've gathered from this post: Pick a niche Find weak competitor(s) within the niche Choose a competitor that is lacking a certain area E.G. Poor social presence or incredibly poor UX Exploit this weakness by doing everything they've done (matching and exceeding their links etc)...

    How to effectively use a silo landing page

    I'll ask this here instead of making a new thread.. Why the fuck does every single site I look into to get ideas from virtually just use single level categories for their posts? Even the big boys in the tech niche, all those review sites just cram every laptop review in a laptop review...

    Day 3 - Market Research

    I asked a similar questions a few weeks ago here about this, and what I got from that at some point you could expand into different areas, but it would be easier to pull off later down the road. 'What is that even' - Just an example actually, not my intention. But I understand now where you're...

    Day 3 - Market Research

    I actually took in a great deal from your response, thanks. So now that I have identified my ideal customer, the gadget lover, how would you move into different areas of technology? Would introducing something like Information Security require me to for example, update my gadget lover customer...

    Day 3 - Market Research

    What I meant by changing is that if I start off reviewing all sorts of smart watches, then move onto reviewing something like the best productivity apps for android, I would assume those people that love smart watches aren't necessarily going to be interested in productivity apps. That's okay I...

    Day 3 - Market Research

    When starting off with a new site, would you conduct market research for the first sub-niche you target? Then, when expanding / entering a new territory would you just start this process again as a new document? I'm confused as to how I should go about doing market research when my potential...

    Anyone dealt with DomainAgents

    I ended up doing something similar. I've actually got two killer brand names now, both 9 character long .coms so I'm much happier now. It can be pretty frustrating trying to think of a brand name so here what I did. I got a list of deleted .com domains with my niche's main topic/kw in. Filtered...

    Anyone dealt with DomainAgents

    After reading mikeshinobi's reply here about how he didn't like the thought of someone else owning the .com of his brand, it has definitely shifted my attention to the fact that I have a .net brand. You can buy the .com though from domainagents, and they require a min bid of $200. My...

    what emerging business technologies / tools are there?

    As the title says, what do you guys think will be the next big tool, trend or technology will be in the business IT field? I'm not referring to Facebook or any other social network, I'm talking about up and coming game changers. In my mind, I'm thinking big data & security are what we are...

    Does it HAVE to be a .com TLD?

    Personally I'd use a .com or .net. I wouldn't even consider a .org. If you look at the top 20 sites in your niche but I assume 90% of them will be using a .com. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but for seo, you're good with a TLD and you won't be disadvantaged in any way. Care to elaborate mate?

    Anyone else suffer from categorizing/tagging/organizing anxiety?

    I've found that when creating the structure of a site, it's best to keep every category as broad as possible. So when planning from the top down, I ask myself can this category 'become broader'. Say I wanted to review tablets and I had a structure like this: Reviews Tablets Wifi Tablets Wifi...
