Raven · 12-30-2005, 08:17 AM

In the last seven years....?

'Take the risks for which you are willing to pay'.

From my father:

What you lose on the merry go round, you make up on the swings.

Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail.

B O B · 12-30-2005, 08:50 AM

for the internet it was read, read, read, and then read more...

but as far as life in general...

Paul Markham · 12-30-2005, 09:22 AM

Eight years ago my mate John Mason told me to get Eva back from Czech. He thought a few months together would make us realise it wold not work.

The advice was great, the thinking behind it ................

"Its not ideas you have that matter, its what you do with them" -> by me (based on my experience and networking with people over the years)

I can relate...the one I learned...is:

Sometimes you eat the bear. Sometimes, the bear eats you.

SilentKnight · 12-30-2005, 09:37 AM

Favorite piece of advice:

The world is a fiery kiln of pragmatism where rules are publicly observed yet privately trashed if there is a chance of getting 'the edge'. In life, love and sport...if someone else has that 'edge', you'd better find a way of getting it too.

For additional advice - sit down and watch 'Wall Street'.

DWB · 12-30-2005, 10:10 AM

If it floats, flies or fucks... rent it.

My sister once told me at a time I had a lotta shit in my life...she said 'get rid of the shit in your life whether it's people or situations and you'll be happier'...I never forgot that, I've followed that advice so many times and when I do my life gets better.

It's not traffic that's king. It's how you control it. It's what you do with it.

RogerV · 12-30-2005, 10:41 AM

Dont believe what everyone says only 50% is true
if someone says they were doing 1000 sales a day it really meant 500
that was advice given to me 5 years ago I bet its alot worse now.

so dont belive the hype there is a reality and just focus on yourself and never give up

rigrunner · 12-30-2005, 10:51 AM

big affiliates might give you big cash payouts and more bonuses but small less-saturated ones bring in more sales and long term sign ups its good to have a mix of both.

Where possible try and get a website to plug your link rather than trying to force your way onto their topsite or referrer list.

I have to agree with that 'build what your users want' too..

Semi-Retired-Dave · 12-30-2005, 02:51 PM

I always tell my friends...

Always like, never Love. (They never listen and have to fall back on this)
Always have control over your money, Don't let money control you.

Advices to me.

Somone once said..
"If someone tells you it can't be done. Do it and prove them wrong"

That's the best advice I ever had.

eroswebmaster · 12-30-2005, 02:53 PM

You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.
Know when to walk away, know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sitting at the table.
There'll be time enough for counting, when the dealing's done.

Far-L · 12-30-2005, 03:23 PM

From Russ Hampshire who owned VCA and was a partner in Babenet and a bunch of other adult related businesses:

"Know when to shut up, and keep your content"

The long and short of it is that you will never become wealthy by working hard and saving. You become wealthy by exploiting others, and that's all there is too it.

SilentKnight · 12-30-2005, 04:51 PM

Problems always seem larger than they really are as you're drifting off to sleep for the night.

Come morning, the problems are always much smaller and more easily overcome.
