    What is Cultural Capital and how do you acquire more of it?

    I'll disagree. There are too many "exceptions" on both sides to deem that social capital creates financial capital. Phil Robertson is what you would deem "trailer trash" southern accent nobody who drank Miller Light. I'm pretty sure he has more money than everyone on this forum combined...

    Desperate Websites That Need SEO - Free Cold Leads

    Desperate Websites That Need SEO - Free Cold Leads

    Right. Just jump in and adjust. You can't wait to go on vacation only when all the stoplights in front of you are perfectly lined up and "green" at the same time. If you did, you'd never get anywhere. If you want to know what to charge... estimate ( not perfect ) the number of hours it will...

    Desperate Websites That Need SEO - Free Cold Leads

    I've been working on a simple strategy to reach out to website owners that need SEO, for several years now. These aren't just random websites I found online on page 7 for a term and then think to myself.. "gee these guys suck and need my help". Nope. These are people that know the value of...

    What's your take on AI generated content?

    I just hopped on the bandwagon and did some ChatAI content. Ran it through some GPT-2 ( of all things ) tools that detect AI written content... and guess what, all the GPT-2 stuff could detect it. So you know internal Google/Meta/Amazon/MSN tools is going to be able to spot this, even if you...

    Tax avoidance strategies

    As someone that has done a lot of this, much is going to depend on: 1. Your tax status ( c-corp, s-corp, disregarded, sole prop, partnership, etc ) 2. Your income Some things mentioned in this thread make no sense or are not possible unless you fit into a certain income or tax status. Don't...

    My old CTO is adding more developers to increase his power (and pay) in the company

    Depends on the company and how it is ran. For example, I've worked in many companies prior where it was a "sales organization", meaning the owners were all sales-focused, so they looked at everything as sales/numbers.. even the departments and employees that were not "sales". Even past that...

    What do people "buy" your "product" for?

    No. Wrong. The social status and the self esteem IS the pain point. I think you underestimate the pain of social status and self esteem. Buying the lambo and rolex solves that very real and deep pain point. How else did Bernard Arnault become the richest person in the world, twice, recently...

    Organizing your day by focus and not time

    I'm not sure where anyone or everyone thought this was about being lazy.... lol I've done something similar to this for about 2 decades now. The goal is to have focus, not be lazy. If you are in in tune with yourself, you probably have already figured out if you are a morning person or an...

    Flight & Travel Tips — Share Offers, Cool Locations, ETC.... Like This All You Can Travel Pass

    Have you ever flown Frontier? It's pretty awful. Things like this typically only make sense if: 1. You have only 1 carry-on bag and no checked luggage, or else you end up paying more anyways. 2. Don't mind what seat you get, or what priority you get 3. Have Frontier in your city, the city...

    SEO Avalanche Technique - Ranking With No Resources

    This is one of the worst comments I have seen on this forum. Traffic means nothing, eh? Option 1 - Let us see your niche with 1 visitor a month, and the amount of money it provides. It's gonna be nothing. Option 2 - Now let us look at a site with huge traffic numbers from search and the...

    So who’s gonna pay $8 for Twitter verification?

    $8 a month does several things for Twitter. Too numerous and advantageous to list out here. So yes, it's a great business model. Anyone that doesn't have $8 a month... more than likely won't be the type of audience that would benefit from the new numerous advantages, anyways, and not his core...

    STDDIOT - Stuff That Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread

    I had some free time this morning AND I didn't feel like working. It happens, deal with it. So I decided to go through this thread I have been ignoring on purpose and write some comments. ^^ There are a lot of assumptions going on here. You're only seeing people's highlight reels on the...

    How to hedge website revenue with sector ETFs?

    I think it would depend on: 1. Which brokerage/platform you are doing transactions 2. What investments ( mutual funds, stocks, etfs, bonds, etc ) 3. How frequent ( you could follow 12% solution exactly every month, or just do it every quarter ) If you were at Fidelity or Vanguard, and stuck...
