What is your exit plan?

Shoe - in your opinion, whats the best resource (other than shoemoney, of course) for affiliate noobies to learn how to get started and what are the best offers to get started with (sorry, that’s sort of 2 questions in one)?

Thanks!

What would be your top #1 suggestion to somebody just starting out making money online.

I’ve been at it for a bit over a year now, with a website in a very competitive niche, paired up against some really big boys, barley making any money at all, working some insane hours, keeping a job, etc…

When you decided to build AuctionAds you must have realised that creating a “out of the box” interface bolted onto a well known network would be a huge success. Products like Twhirl are another example of making a tool even easier to use , do you think the way forward for smaller developers is to add value to existing products which already have a known user base.

Hey Shoe, not to sound like a kiss up but I want to say your the man bro. My question is after all of the time you have spent on the web seeing it evolve, whether it be the search engines or the latest social apps and websites, what would you say is the best way to make money online for the long term and why?

Many thanks in advance and for the opportunity to ask you questions!

Chris-

One of my sites (http://WinScrabble.com) has proven difficult for me to promote through my normal methods.

It’s a site to help people cheat at Scrabble, by taking their letters and generating valid words for them. Once I hook a user, they tend to convert to long-term, direct traffic easily, but the problem is there is a very strong incentive for them to not share the site with their friends. So, word of mouth is next to nil.

Can you think of any way that I could motivate people to share that site with others? Going with 100% CPC advertising has felt like an uphill battle, so far.

When you first got started, how long did it take you to start earning significant money online? Significant meaning when you started earning let’s say at least $1,000 a month.
Thank you,
Marty

Hey, i have been thinking of making several content sites based on music video embeds from sites like youtube, dailymotion etc.

Is it legal to embed any video from the site if i didnt upload it in the first place. And if not, does it make a difference if i have a user submitted site where i do not have direct control over approving videos that may or may not be copyrighted.

Also, related to music videos. Websites like http://new.music.yahoo.com/ seem to have the right to host any music video and give users the capability of embedding it themselves.

This seems like a legal grey area to me, and i dont really want to proceed if theres potential of me getting sued.

Thanks shoe.

Would you describe a typical Monday at work?

In google webmaster tools, in the top search queries I get seemingly impossible position (like 1-10) for a popular single word query. yet i get no traffic from it, and when I search for it, i don’t appear anywhere in the results for the first 100 or so. Any ideas what’s going on there?

Do you have a mentor? If so, who is it? If not, who would you love to be mentored by?

Thanks Jeremy!

Do you think MMA fighting will pass US US boxing in popularity in the upcoming years? Besides the launching of the fighters.com social platform site, what potential related opportunities do you feel you could share openly about?

If you could have dinner with any entrepreneur who would it be?

Shoe, what non paid methods or sites would you use to promote a specifically tourism-related website? Thank you!

how you doin?

So what’s going on with ShoeCapital, or whatever you called your tech/vc company? How do you decide what companies to fund and where do you get the money to invest to begin with?

Why do people say “heads up!” when they want you to duck?

Should small time bloggers report their blog incomes…even if it is maybe no more than $100 a month and whats the best way to do it?

Hi Shoemoney,

For a new social site of mine.

What is better: keyword.net or my+keyword.com
In terms of branding and what people will remember.
Would love to hear your opinion. The keyword.com doesn’t seem available.

Thanks

Shoe what was your toughest $1000 earning online? what was easiest $1000 earning online?

Hey Shoe — one of my favorite posts on your blog is “I used to be fat …”. These days you seem to have “rockstar confidence” (in a good way), and I’m guessing that losing weight, amongst other things, really helped that. So my question is:

How would you describe your own confidence and self-esteem, and the role that it plays in your life and business?

You have made a ton of money in a relatively short time. Are there still ample opportunities for someone to do the same thing as you have done? How does someone spot a good situation in order to be able to exploit it, like you did for ring tones?

Do you sell any products using clickbank? And do you build email lists?

I just bought <a href=”http://makemoneyonlineideas.net” title=”Make Money Online Ideas.NET” what would be your suggestions for the first year of blogging?

Do you sell anything using clickbank? And do you build email lists?

Thanks for the chance to pick your brain Jeremy!

Do you think it is wiser to build out 10-20 (random number) tightly focused, Higher earning, higher maintenance, affiliate websites that require more of your time to promote etc. OR… do you think it is wiser to build 100-200 lower maintenance, lower earning, less time investment etc?

Essentially - which is better? Spending more time on less sites, or less time on more sites? Assuming volume will overcome quality….

Thanks,

Mark

When starting into PPCc affiliate marketing, what would be the best way to start if you wanted to be able to double your money everytime you start a campaign? Meaning if I started which a 300 dollar credit is either adwords or yahoo search and was running with rocket profit or Hydra what would I have to do to make 600.

What I want to do is be able to double what evr I invest. I think If I am able to do that everytime it would not be to long before I was making some good money.

Hello Shoe - I’m a big fan.

My question; from reading your blog it seems like the tipping point in your success was NextPimp.com’s Adsense revenue - that income fueled your other endeavors. Do you think that model: blog + forum + useful tools + Adsense/subscriptions still can work today?

Is time spent building monument sites with user generated content time well spent?

Thanks.

What’s your opinion about Techpin.com in short?

Why do you bother to keep this blog up to date when in comparison to your other sites it makes very little in terms of revenue?

There’s a rumor going around on twitter that you have an incredibly large penis. did you start this rumor, and is it true?

Microsoft’s deadline for their offer to Yahoo passed yesterday. What do you think is going to happen with Yahoo?

For affiliate newbies, should they really by By Rosalind Gardner’s book, the Super Affiliate Handbook? (?? Yes, even knowing you are an affiliate of hers…) Will it really save us time and energy?

If you could have only three affiliates on you blog to make money what would they Be?
Thank you for your time.

Hey Shoe,

Have you been able to use twitter to get traffic, income or both? if so how much and how can we do the same?

Thanks,

Mark

Do you think teenagers aged 13-18 can make a decent income on the web?

Do you have special routines to decide which projects you start and which you don’t?

Hey, Shoe. Where do you see a site like fighters.com going? Will it stay as a news portal, or are you looking to create more of a community?

How do you think I could improve on my printnpost.com site. its article and blog site for authors to earn with adsense….Aside from my typos and grammer errors!

When is the shoemoney playbook coming out??

What is your stance on the Ebay Partner Network? Do you think anything will change within the next 5-10 years that would stop affiliates from making money?

I remember some where you said you prefer a pc laptop over a Apple laptop. Is this true and if so why?

I know the importance of backlinks for serps BUT are relevant backlinks much more powerful than irrelevant ones, will Google frown on irrelevant backlinks?

What is the truth about backlinks, are relevant backlinks best? I mean what’s more important for backlinks high serp or relevance to my site?

How did you get your first 1,000 subscribers?

Do you still promote a lot of affiliate products? What do you think are the most lucrative verticals in terms of pure search volume?

You have a new website targeted on webmasters looking to get exposure. You also have 10k to invest in marketing this site. Where would you put the money?

Why has the popularity of MMA grown so much so quickly?

Hi Shoe,

I am a newbie to all of this and read your feed everyday - I have learnt a lot from you - thank you!. Would you please be kind enough to explain to me in plain English how this twitter works?. I have signed up but have no idea how to work it? Thank you. Smiles to you. Yvonne

Do you know of any probloggers that mentor?

Do you get sick of spammers that use question opportunities like this to ask “What do you think of my site at blah blah blah…”? They’re as annoying as people that think the “Name” field on this form translates to “Add 20 keywords here.”
