Man... the internet killed any sense of time management I ever had. I used to be able to focus, now I just read forums and surf all day instead of being productive. :) That may be an exaggeration, but you get the point. It may be old and tired, but I always found Stephen Covey's work to be very...

Okay... the original comment was comedy gold, but this thread is hilarious in its own right. Fantastic. lol

I like 'em okay, but the wife is allergic. Thanks for saving the kitty kitty.

This answer may not be too much help, but I think it all depends on your approach and project. As an example, I like to write - I do most of my content and copy writing myself. I HATE linkbuilding. I outsource that, and with joy!

I used to make $20 a day on fiverr EASY writing 400-word articles. 5-10 sales a day is pretty easy if you can put the proper copy together. Protip: offer the self-same service four or five different times, worded differently and targeted to different needs, as separate gigs. By appealing to...

I'm not actively writing there anymore, but everyone predicted a death and immediate cut in residuals on the site after the Panda/Farmer update. I've continued to receive my $80-$120 per month residual payment every month since the update. I don't know what the future holds, but I can share my...

This is essentially what I do at my site, but I'm not in it for pure arbitrage, but to provide a legitimate content creation service, so I'm not sure my experience is applicable to what you're asking. Are you looking to pick up a bunch of $4 fiverr sales, then outsource the lot of them to the...

Dunno... I'm a newb here (and there as well) but I've always taken the approach of engaging as fully as I can in as many sources of information as possible, and proceeding in an informed and cautious manner. So I read voraciously here, there, and everywhere (I do not like green eggs and ham). :D...

I'm in complete agreement about quality over quantity, but I personally feel pretty strongly about quality content, as well as quality sites containing the links (PR, etc.). I think to a large degree, focusing on the quality site forces quality content, just because submission guidelines and the...

I'm on the "moderation is key," side of things. They say weight loss takes place in the kitchen, and muscle building takes place in the gym. You can lift until the cows come home, and you'll just build a nice crunchy center for your gooey body if you don't eat properly.

I'm a glutton for punishment when it comes to software compatibility. I exclusively use Ubuntu, and have to kludge together solutions for AMR, Market Samarai, TheBest Spinner and other marketing software that I use. I just like Open Source.

I hear about these crazy short runs of success that folks have, and it kinda scares me a little. I'm constantly afraid that I'll hit a little bubble of income, come to believe that I'm making sustainable progress, then fall on my face. How do you insure against false success?

I mostly use #8 and #10 - I guess it's time for me to move up in the world! ;)

For my part, I use torrents to get free stuff, and when folks ask me for something in return from a torrent, I just look elsewhere. It's heartening to see that some folks don't draw that line, and that there is some money to be made here.

My Lord! Money from torrents - it never even occurred to me. This is awesome stuff. Thanks so much for the share.
