My country's national mortgage insurer just put out guidance that we could see a 10-20% decline in real estate prices in the next 12 months. They are also considering raising the minimum down payment from 5% to 10%. My friend is giving serious thought to selling his business right now, with the...

Anyone know of a good site where I can hire people for quick $0.10-0.20 tasks? Already wasted my time signing up with two seemingly-dead non-working sites. Most sites (other than mTurk) seem to be very poorly run. Thanks!

Introduction Okay sirs, I have been a member of BHW since 2014, but online ventures have been my sole source of income since 2006. Right now I own and operate about a dozen sites. My newest one - launched in April 2018 - is the topic for this journey thread. Site Launch April 2018 I have...

Delete this thread... BHW and CloudFlare have completely fucked this post and all the formatting I did for it.

About six months ago (Apr 2018) I decided to make a new website with some old digital products I'd created over the years. I would be giving them all away for free, in exchange social media follows and the users email address. I designed the website with SEO/growth in mind. No monetization, ads...

Had a page rankings for the keyword "free XXXXXXXX" which was basically a bunch of content and a mailing list sign-up. I had been #1 ranked for almost two years. At the beginning of September, I added maybe 200 words of text and a pricing table to the bottom of the page with inexpensive...

I used to like Fiverr -- I liked that sellers were kept honest by a review system, you had recourse if a seller screwed you, etc. Now it's just a cesspit. Sellers must be faking their reviews, because I've only been ordering from supposed "5-star" rated services and I get handed back dog shit...

One of my SaaS businesses involves a recurring subscription payment. Sometimes people forget to cancel it when they don't want to renew and inadvertently get billed for the next month/term. If the customer reaches out to me requesting a refund, I grant it to them provided they haven't continued...

Something I've always been curious about. I'm fairly certain sites like EmpireFlippers, Flippa, etc. do not allow 'blackhat' listings in their marketplace. Those of you who start / own 'blackhat' businesses, do you just go into the venture knowing there isn't really an exit strategy?

If marijuana were legalized in your city/state/country tomorrow, what online business would you start to profit from it?

A friend of mine is releasing a rock album next month and has asked me for help in promoting it. He said is budget is "up to $500 USD". The goal isn't to sell the music -- it'll be given away for free -- but to get the most fans + followers. I am going to make social media pages for them...

I run a high-volume web service with PayPal as my payment processor. Because of their seller protection policy, I am basically defenseless against unscrupulous customers who pay for the service then do a chargeback. Lately I've been getting waves of them, mostly 'unauthorized transaction'. I...

Thought this might be a funny thread to start after my experience last night. I celebrated a birthday about 10 days ago, and an old acquaintance (played on a sports team together) reached out to me on FB. Said he was back in town after living abroad for a few years, wanted to take me out for a...

I just had a 'customer' of 6 months do a MASSIVE chargeback on me, claiming they were "unauthorized transactions". Normally PayPal allows the seller 7 days to respond and provide evidence for a defense. In this case, they just automatically ruled in the buyers favor and took the money from my...

Does anyone have any recommendations or strategies to share? I enjoy sites like The Onion and could easily write similar content. I'm just not sure how to get traction, short of investing ad dollars into it. This would be more of a hobby than a business, so ideally I'd like strategies that are...

Bit of a rant here, but I'm just so damn frustrated... I've run multiple online businesses since 2006, dealt with thousands of different businesses and services over the years. That being said, BHW Marketplace Vendors have the WORST customer service I've dealt with. It's not even comparable. I...

I was using a backconnect proxy service from a BHW user, but as of this post by user Dagreyon it looks as though the service is defunct. This is the 2nd time I've had to go searching for a new provider after ProxyBandit closed his doors. BHProxies smallest package is waaay more than I require...

I'm considering making a small PBN for my businesses, which are all in the same niche. I've been looking through expired domains lately and... I've found some niche-relevant ones in my price range, but their metrics aren't too great. Usually something like DA 15-20, PA 25-30, PR 0-1. I've...

I decided to order a "social media marketing campaign" Fiverr gig for a Tumblr post I'm trying to get more exposure. Seller was claiming to have 9 million+ followers on FB & Twitter. So he delivers the order, and his "proof" is a goo.gl tracking link which shows traffic hitting my page...
