I followed this jokers blog since about 2006 when myspace layout sites were booming. So painful to watch someone get lucky and piss it all away.
How a 21 year old Made $2.5 Million Online and Blew it all in a Year
- Thread starter Hurr-Durr
- Start date
I know Andrew personally and was with him in the ypn days and myspacesupport with a couple of my sites that was netting a little bit less. I've been over to his house in co and hung out there with his friends on poker night. he's a good friend of mine and we been through alot. He's started a new site that i think will do very well and its starting off slow but it will gain traction soon. he's also launching a pua type ebook on clickbank. He's a good dude just made the wrong decisions which I tried to tell him at the time.
Women Chase Men one of his new projects, I love the audio quality and the background music heh. Going to take a wild stab and hope it's still in development.. edit: yeah I guess? the end of it seems to suggest.
I reckon he'll make it all back again. He seems to have realised where he was being a twat.
I've been on in a similar situation on a much smaller scale. When I was 19 I was earning the equivalent of $150k a year doing pre-y2k IT Contracting, whilst living with my parents. Unfortunately I was spending more than that. Just ended up with a bunch of debt to show for it. It seems so endless when it's coming in at that rate, but it dissipates on shite so quickly.

He looks very smug. His losses may have wiped that smug look off his face.
Back in the day during the dot-com boom, I was raking it in buying and selling technology stocks, and making up to 300% profit in a single month! It was crazy. My mother knew about my profits, and was all over it saying I've got a knack for picking the winners.
I told her it wasn't so, it's the market that is over-appreciating every freaking stock to the stratosphere, and I knew the bubble would eventually burst. But I didn't know when it would happen, so I kept reinvesting a lot of the profits into new stocks, and eventually lost 80% of my investments.
I did, however, take out some of the profits and buy some amazing jewelry with my wad when bling was far cheaper. I came out of the dot-com bust cash-poor, but my baubles were dazzling, dahling.

Read the story and I gotta say it's pretty obvious he'll get that money back. He has the needed knowledge and the belief it's possible.
Put that to action and it's gonna happen sooner or later. There's no third option... I don't think I'm speaking only for myself when I say it's make it or die - the chance of living your whole life for a fixed wage is simply not an option.
Once you've experienced first hand what's possible there's no going back.

part of me wonders what exactly he did SEO wise. I mean i know you can mess alot up with on-site seo for you lower pages if you change URLS, but im presuming his homepage was the main page for most of his important keywords? How do you kill that with a re-design?

I don't know how well I'd deal with the enormity of blowing 2 mil either. I wouldn't be suicidal, but I'd be a 24-7 facepalm.
blowing 2 Mil wouldn't have been a problem if he hadn't fucked his site up. You can spend 2 Mil in a month if you're really trying, the trick is to keep more (a lot more) coming in than you are spending.
he made every mistake, blowing the cash, buying 11 cars, not saving / investing etc. but where he REALLY fucked up was redesigning his site.
You might facepalm for a while but eventually you'd hit rock bottom and you'd make a decision between suicide or getting it all back. I don't think you could just settle for something in the middle. You'd have too much anger brah
