Lets see what failures my brain will allow me to remember.
1. Mid to late nineties, was told by some people giving newbie advice (I was just into content back then) on building sites, sponsors etc. to build some free sites. 30 thumbs, 30 full sized pictures on html minimum. Make one every day and submit them to the search engines, persian kitty, and the hun. Explained to me that my super simple designs would do sell, and that they needed fancy graphics etc, so I did as instructed.
Made 1 site a day, 30 pictures each non optimized, very graphics heavy pages. Submitted them to PK, the hun, and the engines. Made sales each day, was stoked, got my bandwidth bill from my provider which was at 9.00 a gig and well there went my savings.
2. Had idea for content selling. Paid to have a custom script written. Out the cash, never got the script.
3. Paid Net Sol. a crap load of money for a bunch of domain names. Mostly all non adult ones, great one word .coms dumped a bunch of cash into building up the rebates one. Partner at the time decided to sell them all out from under me. Never got a dime, Net Sol. fucked me on it, and wasted several k on the rebates site.
