This isn't true, there's lots of legitimate ways to bring in passive income if you know the right niches to explore. Look at this screenshot of my Adsense earnings for last month, where I brought in over $13,500! "Learn the t

Fake product reviews are popular as well. They'll do a top 5 write-up where their product, or the one offering the highest paid commissions is first, followed by 4 real products in that niche that are well respected. For example, let&#

I agree it's a skill, and hopefully over time you have a better understanding of what ideas are more likely to succeed. However, I don't think anyone out there can guarantee a great idea. How many times has Google failed again and

You're basically buying tweets at that point, and I'm completely against the concept. I go the exact opposite route with my community and promise users they'll never have to jump through a single hoop. In return, I get a lot

How would this work though? If their secret message is a coupon code, or URL, they need to check server side the number of times it's been activated, or accessed. Otherwise, it's going to get mirrored and used 10,000 times instead

How is this a good thing? You want users to visit a promo page, where they're forced to retweet the content before getting access? This sounds awfully familiar to those sites that ask you to share a referral link with 10 friends, or co

It's an interesting concept, However, I'm struggling to figure out a situation where it would be useful. There might be something here, just not in it's current state, and for that reason, I don't see it going viral anyt

He just misinterpreted the previous comments. When developers were saying 20% of their time goes to managing clients and 80% to coding, he thought they were implying stirring up business is easy compared to coding. However, they were simply

Agreed. How involved is he going to be outside of finding clients? Who's going to be the one going to meetings, drafting up invoices, working the phones, and constantly relaying updates? If he's just going to appear once a month t

Agreed. Go buy a cheap template, and set it up in an afternoon. If the site begins to gain traction and has potential, then invest in something a little more customized. This only applies if the design and layout of your site isn't one

I stumbled into a lucky situation maybe 5 years ago. I posted a topic on a development forum mentioning my services and linking to a couple of examples. I received a few responses, people wanting work done for a couple hundred dollars, whic

Try releasing early. When I work on personal projects and drag them out to perfection or until they have every feature I originally envisioned, they never get finished. I redesign them half a dozen times throughout their development, recode

Click on show larger plans , which go up to 20 million monthly page views at $299/mo. I'd need roughly 60 million page views, so $900/mo, although they'd probably cut a wonderful deal at $700/mo. The pricing is a

I run a couple of sites that generate 2 million page views a day. Using their prices, I'll be spending more on font subscriptions than the two dedicated servers I'm running. It's a pass here. I'd gladly pay maybe $50&#x2

When I said I haven't looked for a free host in a decade, and don't know what kind of competition has appeared since then, that wasn't advice to pursue a business. The debate was whether or not a service like neocities has a

Also, part of the gap is finding a payment method for $3/mo. Kids don't have credit cards of paypal accounts. Lots of parents don't want to sign-up for this mysterious thing called web hosting for their child. I haven't

Thanks for the video. One interesting point, they're determining the price based on their knowledge of wine, and how much a wine of that variety, grown in that particular region should cost to produce. At no point do they associate tas

Agreed. If you want static text pages, go back to the 90s. We didn't feel very connected then, and there wasn't a big sense of community. It was mostly people publishing static pages for others to consume. Not much fun. Things hav

Here's the plan... Pretend you invested $3k in servers and SSDs. Add these services to your site, and try to find your first customer. The bad news, you'll never find them. The good news, it didn't cost you a penny.
