This is excellent advice. I got burned by a guy when I found out after the shoot that he was using under-aged models. I probably could have gotten away with it, but I didn't want to mess around with it. There's some templates online for release forms that are really easy to use.

I tried it on a free trial one time....don't bother.

Management comes more into play than fundamentals in these situations. You don't exactly speculate on a company with BV of $0.04 and expect to get your money back after debt payout in the event of liquidation.

I would suggest that you're targeting keywords that have nothing to do with a purchase. "How do I...." doesn't mean they have a credit card ready, it just means they're looking to figure stuff out. When you post "How do I fix my keyword research" on BHW, do you do so with your credit card out...

paint.net inkscape gimp2.0 I'm a complete noob with pictures, but I find I can juggle why I've got fairly well between these three programs.

I'd be interested in seeing what kind of price a job like this takes. I suck at installing my own stuff, and would love to just be able to send theme info to someone and pay them to install it for less then fucking t3mpl8 7un1ng.

Try coming clean about it, and then just e-mail them a screen-shot with whatever you've got? I doubt you'd be able to get away with bs-ing guys that have a whole department devoted to banning ppl though.

pming me with some prices for wp/drupal work might be a good starting point, as well as a short description of how good your back-end integration is.

Be careful, I got caught up with something like this over the summer and am still stuck with 40 units of inventory in my basement. The units had 140% markup, demonstrated sales, and I had setup everything from sourcing to local production...then I got ****ed by the actual sales. It's one thing...

Depends what country you're from, but she's got a 99% chance of just being SOL if she doesn't already know how to work with it from an industry stand-point. Patents are stupid expensive and really easy to rip-off from someone like your mom's friend. These 'investors' would probably just do...

I've had some pretty good results from arbitrage, but it really depends on what you do and what your goals are. I do alot of spreadsheet work an independent contractor. A while ago I hired a laid-off actuarian (the guy who handles insurance company statistics) to do some of my work for me for...

This is more related to traditional business competition than it is IM and SEO, but I think it could still make for an interesting discussion. I've just created a traditional web storefront. I sell a novelty clothing line for adults sizes. I purchased the .ca domain, and after a week realized...

Gotta hand it to him, it's catchy. Worst comes to worst he might just get lookie-loo traffic from ppl that don't believe it's real (sic, ratemypoo dot com)

Think reader rabbit, he scaled into math and geography. That's a deep product line. Same with Rosetta Stone. For gimmicky, take a look at the stuff they sell at airports (because apparently people are buying that stuff otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford the insane kiosk premiums)...

Not necessarily, demographics in a mall shift depending on the time and location. If you're serious, go to the mall at spaced intervals several times a day throughout the week and notate the demographics you see, and what they tend to be buying (look at the bags for logos). Based on that...
