Try to make a quick buck and that's exactly what it will be; it will go as quickly as it came.

However, build a solid...

Re: Should I buy OptimizePress?

Re: Wasted money on PR guy...need help figuring what's next

Believe me, you can't get good PR on a bootstrap budget.

We charge a lot for our services, because good PR doesn't come for anything near free!

Re: Where to do paid advertising online?

You Can't Cut Corners in Business

Last night saw me sit down, after the end of another moth, for a bit of reflection.

One of the subjects I pondered was the importance of building a solid foundation.

Re: First Page of Google - Now What?

Re: Don’t Call Yourself a Writer If What You Really Are Is a Thief

Totally agree with the OP.

I also believe that you get what you pay for with writing. People jump to Fiverr for good, honest, original text - which is unlikely for just five bucks.

Re: Grabbing attention can be tough. Does this work for you?

I welcome your honesty! I learned long ago that, as the business owner, what I think doesn't matter - what matters is how the web audience react to it.

Honestly is always the best policy!

Re: How would you explain affiliate marketing to a potential employer?

Or you could say:

"While I am here, can I interest you in any beauty products, weight loss supplements or get rich quick scheme? Or, how does adding 23 inches to your length sound?"
