So, this is for the newbs, if you are an uber Bro, you’ll get nothing out of this. Someone posted on a forum asking how to set up billing and went for verotel because they didn’t have a long QC process. Nothing wrong with Verotel, but by only going with them, you’re making a mistake. [...]

Why are we so fucking stupid?
iTunes, Spotify, Rhapsody etc have reduced music piracy massively. There are reports to back this up, but even someone as stupid as Paul Markham can see it. It makes sense. So, how come the porn industry is so stupid it hasn’t copied the model yet?
Now this surprised me
Well I never. You know the old submit your site to google thing? Well it actually works! Colour me surprised. I put together about 14 sites for a client to create traffic and stuck google analytics on them. I submitted ONE of them to the URL linkage above and waited. About 5 days later, that [...]

I can’t say what it is yet, but imagine this… You have a pay site. You put a “Work for us” button at the bottom by the 2257 etc. That sends the girl to a site where she can apply. You decide you don’t want her. She gets put into the system and gets offered [...]

How to get more clicks on your sig than Paul Markham
Paul Markham in a hilarious stalky move, decided to put a link to a video I made in his sig. The anchor text was something along the lines of: See Fat Stupid Loser LOL He is STUPIDLOL! Or words to that effect. Over the last 3 weeks he has sent that video 25 clicks. Yes, [...]
Do you guys not actually test your mailers?
