Sorry, I thought a bit of silly humor was needed after the last, slow, SE-funky week.
And I thought I was too intense on these types of forums! ;)
Sorry...did not mean to mislead...I thought me mentioning "silly humor" was enough.
Anyone else have any "success" as of late?
(Yeah, so I have a strange sense of humor.)
I actually did good this past weekend, not great, but better then regular day. I'm still on my quest to $100/day and it seems like maybe this month I will hit that mark.
As far as the update, some sites are up, others down... business as usual. All in all - made more last month then the one before, and June looking real good so far.
Good luck everyone!
Not bad considering I've been tweaking the site since 1999 ;)
Did you think up a new variation of the word "Viagra" that gets past spam filters?
Are you selling your children on your web site?
...
And now the voice of tempering wisdom:
You need to diversify Steven. Sure, a few $1000 days will make you feel on top of the world, but all it takes is one tiny cog in the G-machine to change and you'll find your cash cow has dropped dead.
And then you'll have to sell your children for half as much if you want to maintain the same level of sales.
...
And then the technical advisors:
I agree with the guy who said you need to diversify -- but he was wrong to say you need to diversify across sectors; you need to diversify within your own by adding other revenue sources and traffic sources. If you wish to maintain this level of profitability you need to diversify by adding PPAI (pay per artificial insemination) if you hope to gain some kind of stability.
However, I disagree that it's necessary to diversify across different sectors to such an extent -- you'll spread yourself too thin.
Get some PPAI going, find some surrogate mothers and get a good AM relationship with a sperm bank. In fact, sign up with at least three or four; if one of them "dries up" and defaults on your check you can seamlessly switch over to the others.
...
And then the pessimists like me join in:
Now I'm not going to flat out call you a liar, but I'll insinuate things and passive aggressively badmouth AM in general. It can't work. You're just a needle in the haystack.
[and then 5 minutes later you find me posting my own "Goal to reach .03 cents/day! I'm 1/3 the way there!" threads.]
...
Then the guy who knows a guy that makes 10 times as much as that PER MINUTE using some wicked secret:
I know a guy that makes 10 times as much as that PER MINUTE using this wicked secret that I'll talk in vague terms about and which serves no good but to make people wonder. And then I'll get upset when you PM me asking for some insight.
...
And then about 3 times as many pages get tacked on to the end where the previous things get rehashed in such a delicious manner with just enough "me too!"'s to keep me dreaming and slaving away at my web site.
...
So Stephen... what's your secret? Do you live in Utah?
Because once you've run out of kids to sell you'll obviously have to either go the PPAI route or commit adultery.

Fools day was excatly 2 months ago :P
I like your style and feel your pain!
Utah? Nah, staunch, old-school Catholic. Nah, not really. ;)
I'm in the same boat...slaving away.
Anyhow, back to my day.
