Your Biggest IM Mistake?

I'll start it off! Just about three years ago I started a niche sex tube and in three months it ranked 6000 in the world and was getting over 15,000 uniques a day!

Sadly I really didn't know crap about IM at the time and sold it to someone who did. I got $20,000 for it on eBay and thought I was the king of the internet.

I got an email from the buyer saying he was looking to sell and thought it only right to ask the original owner (me) if I'd like to purchase it. The asking price $250,000. I thought he was joking and told me that he did nothing to the site since he bought it and only knew how to monetize it, and monetize it he did. He was getting between $500 and $700 a day, everyday!

When I owned it I was making $3 to $5 a day...Dohhh!

Anyway this is the one that got away. :(

Anyone else like to share?

That is not a mistake.

It is called learning curve.
 
I've spent thousands of dollars on useless shit sold on various forums.

Not nearly as bad as what happened to you. At least you have 20k!
 
I feel you there on that one mate.

My biggest mistake is thinking it was gonna be a breeze to get money online overnight.

Three years on and only earned $1,200 in that time.

Damn, 3 years to make $1,200!! If you told me that you made that in 3 hours, it would seem more believable! I give you credit for having extreme perseverance. But I highly recomment that you just come up with a new game plan & the money will flow a lot easier.


My Biggest Mistake: wasting time with the porn :humble::toilet13: Found out that it is cheaper for my business if I just got a rent-a-girl from backpages.com.
It only takes 15 minutes out of my day, than 3 hours. Just click, she ships & I slip, then I'm back to work!
 
Earning like 1400? and not investing them in other methods. Next month I was banned.

Although was all WHITEHAT.
 
Working on anything that involves trying to rank (and stay ranked) in googles front page and waiting for people to click the ads. Huge investment and a lot of disappointment.

So you spent more energy on PR than word of mouth?

Sucks! :(

Yeah, that happened to me too! I think WP sets it to default. They should change that. I wonder how many people are waiting to be SE indexed. LOL
 
Knowing exactly what to do to make a lot of money but not acting on it 100% even though i'd made lots of money before the same way.

Meaning, being lazy.
 
Biggest Mistake: Didnt fuck that girl on the beach @Barcelona, damn!
 
1. Trying to rush things without developing any kind plan.
2. Being scatter-brained by not focusing.
3. Wasting time by looking at too much porn when I should be learning and implementing.
