    Expectations for a wide open niche?

    Setting expectations before you've gone into it is a good way to disappoint yourself if it doesn't turn out the way you think it will. One of the first sites I started had super-low competition scores, so I jumped in. I later found out it was one of the most heavily spammed industries online...

    How great leaders inspire action

    Dude, too much truth. It's why hype and making people believe they can make $10,000 a day in 2 hours a month actually sells, and why so many people end up getting scammed in the IM / MMO / Biz Opp space. For your auto example, 200 whp, convertible top, Brembo brakes, and 18" wheels don't sell...

    How great leaders inspire action

    There's 4 steps similar to this that I use when I'm writing copy -- the who, why, how, and what. If you know who you're talking to and why you're talking to them, the rest falls into place.

    Introductions Thread

    The "googe" sounds like an ending to a porn skit. Work as you learn, and you'll build your own life vest instead of drowning.

    New Wordpress Update April 2017: "noopener noreferrer"

    For the lazy among us (hey, I'm guilty), Matt Diggity just dropped a plugin in the Local Client Takeover group on Facebook. You do have to optin to his list to get it, but once you optin it's at the bottom of his bonuses / welcome page under #9 - Leadspring Leak Fix. I checked the code and...

    How do you know what to write?

    It can be used for every stage, I think. I use it for copywriting, so I guess the product / service is already known. It helps enter into the conversation they're already having with themselves, so I can push the buttons I need to push to make the sale. It can be used to find new topics to...

    How do you know what to write?

    The comments section of blog posts and Facebook posts, along with the customer reviews section for products you're promoting are a gold mine of topics to write about. People will let their true selves out, good or bad, so spend some time in those areas of other sites in your industry.

    How can I rank 500+ websites?

    It's all been said here already, but 500 sites is a massive beast that gets overwhelming really fast. During the EMD rush, I had 450 sites and a team of 22 people helping me push them forward, and it was always 1 step forward, 5 steps back. There was never a light at the end of the tunnel...

    Hardest Part of Online Marketing

    Promotion -- it's always been my weak suit. I can come up with ideas and churn out 10k words of content a day, but when it comes to driving traffic to that content, I've always been short on ideas. I don't think targeting an audience has really been an issue for me, but getting that audience...

    Hostgator Drives Another Nail in its Coffin with SiteLock

    So, is SiteLock a scam? Or would that be taking it too far? Like one of those credit monitoring services, except for websites?

    Personality Types Among Builders...

    INTJ-A -- took it years ago and got ENTJ. I've become more reclusive over the years, and have less patience for people than I did at ~21.

    Cancer

    Are you able to get second and third opinions? I ask because my buddy's wife was told that they found cancerous cells in her thyroid and would need to put her on copious amounts of medication and undergo treatment for it. She got two other opinions and the doctors didn't find anything. It's...

    How do you track your AdWords & Bing campaigns?

    So for each adset, adjust the URL to add in the utm_campaign, utm_medium, and utm_source, and Analytics will show it automagically?

    How do you track your AdWords & Bing campaigns?

    I put a campaign together a few weeks ago that is delivering, but I have no idea what's delivering and where. I'm curious what ya'll do to track the keywords you're using to generate conversions? I'm generating affiliate sales, so I don't have control over using a pixel to track the...

    I Got Another Idea

    How far out is this, do you think? I don't think I can come up with something quite as clever as scraping the residue off the bottom of the stem, but damn. This shit's a calling. Getting to surround myself with hustlers, especially ya'll already at the level I want to be at is more than...

    Whats your biggest regret?

    lol, that's why you don't do that. She's an ex for a reason (or multiple). I don't want them to see how I'm doing, and I don't want to be popping up on their "Friends you may know" list. 80% of my block list on FB consists of ex girlfriends. I just had one slip through the cracks from when I...

    Whats your biggest regret?

    Yeah, it is what it is. She had a good heart, but a bad upbringing. Unfortunately, her upbringing won that one.

    Looking to partner with a traffic expert.

    The title says it all. I am a writer that can't drive traffic to save my soul -- literally. As a copywriter, I can open the wound, rub salt in it, and then sell the prospect the stitches needed to close it back up. When it comes to driving traffic, though, I'm wandering around in a barren...

    Is a blog a requirement?

    I'm writing up a proposal now, didn't think about the HR department. I've had a BuSo member I've been working for, for the last few months, reach out to me and ask to see it. Hopeful for something to come to fruition from it.
