Thank you Wickedfire for allowing my to quit my job and tell my fucking asshole boss that used to call me "worthless" to go fuck himself over a year ago now. I now drive past his old honda in my new mercedes giving him the finger while he goes to work for the man.

Pissed off I spent my 1000th post on answering a Windows 7 question in sts.

I spent 10 years of my life shooting dope in some very dangerous places wasting a computer science degree and fucking up my life.


People that can fuck off: FTC, PKM, EWA, Matt **tts, my old business partner that used my merchant acct for illegal shit, this guy that drives a hummer near my house that fucks up our parking, the police, scammers

People that should not fuck off: Maxbounty, c2m, affiliate army, creature, nicknick, dave, bradmark, bruce, wildcard, my new son, my wife, HBWA, suddenly ass/tits


Providers that are not con artists: sender, bompa, wf_services, crystal, loopline, gettingtop, onedolleridea, andrew, drew ends and more (sorry there are more)


ultimate wisdom .0.13beta:

1. The biggest experts and gurus in the industry are not the ones that "know" everything but are the ones that know how to properly outsource, and where to find reliable information on how to do what they need to do.

2. Do your own thing - in the beginning my idea of monetizing was fucked, i was trying to do what other people did and failing miserably. I finally came up with a good idea on my own and ran with it.

3. Get the fuck off of this forum - close facebook/im/skype/ and all the chat, communication, social networking sites and get to work. While I do believe that reading and keeping up on the industry is key, you will never get anything done if you dont start getting some campaigns up and running.

4. Stop jumping around from project to project: again, in the begining I spent all my time going from facebook, to adsense, to client work, to affiliate marketing and never made a fucking dime. I think picked 3 monetization methods/strategies and started winning.

5. Reinvest - I do client work and I do it very well. I have several hundred clients and I manage them with a great team. Every time I get a surpluss of profit it gets dumped back in to helping the client, branding my company, advertising, or something. My business has grown exponentially since then.

6. Customer service - Regarding client work, customer service is everything. I have 10-15 clients right now that are FUCKED and I am having serious problems with, be it design not finished or SEO not ranking properly. All of them are still THRILLED with us because we make REGULAR phone communication with them. People just want to be loved. (<---- serious wisdom)

7. There is no perfect SEO strategy. I know ppl that rely mainly on social signals to rank, I now ppl that rely on spam backlinks, an there are ppl that rely on solid PR links and that type of shit. Find out what works for you, rinse and repeat.



Again, I mainly wanted to thank the community of wickedfire for providing me with so much knowledge and mainly the encouragement to continue to do what I do. This has pretty much been the best 1000th post thread in existence so lets not argue about that please.
 


On behalf of HBWA, we congratulate you for 1,000+ posts on WickedFire and wish you nothing but continued success.

QFT. Nice post, but this point really stood out to me.

People are extremely understanding if you keep open lines of communication with them. From time to time people do run behind schedule (it happens, even to me), but just being completely honest is always the best strategy. This goes for online client work and everything else in life.

Grats on 1k btw!
 
very true - even calling them up to sts, people love that shit. im in a storefront office so we have open lunch hours amd like to physically bring people in.
