Dont Go Chasing Squirrels

Most of the SEOs that I know charge insane amounts of money. They do outsource almost everything, except coding and Google research.

Never let squirrels get into your attic. My electrician showed me wires they had been chewing on. My neighborhood has lots of big oak trees but the squirrels are so spoiled they turn up their noses at acorns. The neighbors buy them sacks of peanuts and make them peanut butter sandwiches.

I hate squirrels because they will burn your house down and they eat all of the bird seed. They are the devil, I tell ya.
 
I am actually writing a book... that is partly why I work so many freaking hours.

hahha niiice :D I'll do a translation later on and market it here in Germany ;)
What is it going to be about?

As talking about Germany, over here the 2 best known black hat SEOs wrote a book about 700+ site's, all about Online Marketing. This will be a huge seller, as they have a lot of knowledge. But I'm sure, that the best tipps and tricks are going to stay hidden.
 
Ok, since this post went up I had a group of people in a skype channel of which I am a part decide to join together.

Some have coding skills, some have design skills, some have organizational skills etc.

They set up their own skype channel, were kind enough to add me in, and started brainstorming.

One guy posted an idea this AM that will most certainly rock.. others posted ideas as well and they are going with the idea that will rock.

Watching the symmetry of the group and what they have come up with is like watching the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra... absolutely beautiful and in perfect tune.

My guess is that the few hours they are all putting in will be 500.00 a month for each participant looking at what they are doing, who they are targeting and how they are monetizing.

I'm not the smartest guy around by any means but I know business and I know IM and these guys are onto something very strong using the "Don't go chasing squirrels" business model.
 
Dude you are a truly business man period.

"Outsourcing your skill set in return for something that you are terrible at can really make your IM career rock and roll."

this is a JV...
and IMers should do it with friends or family.

thanks for sharing knowledge and contributing to this forum.

bookmarked for life :44:
 
I would like to join the Skype community that has been mentioned.

PS. I can see why the BHW community absolutely loves BTB.
 
Well I am having a blast working for Greg and Chris what these guys do is the stuff that will be remembered.

I happen to be part of that group which is currently working on their first project. The thing which we have achieved in 7 days is more than I could have achieved in 7 months. So I agree with OP that working in teams can take you ahead of others.

But the key in here is to be honest with all your other partners and also be dedicated and hardworking.
 
Great post Mate!

by the way we in Australia call those dogs "boot rooters" or "ankle shaggers".

We call them the brothers; Google, Bing and Teedie are their names.

Google - brown/white markings - nothing rattles him... likes to sleep on shoes and is an inside brother to the max.

Bing - black and white markings/show quality brother, guardian of the house and likes to sleep on my lap in the evenings and loves going for walks in the AM.

Teedie - black and white markings and smaller than the other brothers. Feels entitled to anything that is around and has been known to jump up on tables grab stuff and run. Thus far she has cost me 2 pairs of eyeglasses to the tune of about 800.00.

Haha great names and just like your JV's you never stop at just one!

Speaking of animals costing money. A friend has a cat that cost him $1600 in vet bills in one go. Cars and cats dont mix to well. Anyway it is now the only cat I know that has medical insurance.
 
Great post BTB!
However, some dogs chase squirrels just for the fun of the game. Same as with IM-ers. Some don't even put high hopes on their plans, and even worse than that, they just limit themselves to a certain target. I still think that for a lot of people, IM seems to be just a funny thing to do on the internet and earn money, rather than a real business industry.

Working smart in terms of IM = Squirrels will come to you. Maybe if Teedie would make a JV with the birds and get their food, the squirrels would come to Teedie. Teedie would get a piece of those squirrels, and the birds would get something from them too, such as their fur.. Birds with fur squirrels coats.. okay, that just gone wrong, I'll stop here.

Haha I just had images of a Teedie skyping a bird to discuss the terms of the JV.
 
Wow !!

Very nice tip, Its very important to focus on our own strengths and leverage other people who have different specialization, to create a win win situation for both.

Its very important to implement this to rise in life ! Thanks !!
