Whether you want your site to be the world’s homepage like Google, Facebook, etc.; run a less popular website and sell high cost products with a large profit margin; create many smaller websites that generate a total profit larger than the biggest sites; or any combination of these, you have many options for your bankroll to blow up like Lindsay Lohan’s mind on powder.

As you can see online business is very similar to offline business, but there are a few key things that separate the two. One of them is the tremendous potential for movers & shakers. Sites can go from nothing to the top of the internet overnight as with Microsoft’s Bing, which shot like a Beretta from zilch to the 10th most popular site online in little over a week according to Alexa.com. With social sites like Digg and Twitter as well as blogs, forums, or news sites, it is very possible that if you come up with a revolutionizing idea for a site that it can climb the ranks of the internet to the top in a matter of months. Like Twitter itself did, which brings me to my next point.

At least once per year there is a new site that revolutionizes the internet. YouTube, Facebook, RapidShare, and Twitter are all recent examples. If you happen to notice a rapid upward growth of a site before it reaches anywhere near the top sites on the internet, you will have a chance to capitalize on its innovation by putting a twist on its idea and publishing your own site. All the excitement of a heist, but yet legal if it’s only the idea you’ve stolen. After that, 99% of the time it is not worth it to try to make a site just like it because there is too much competition and there is no reason for anyone to use a site that accomplished the same function when it is miles behind the original. When FaceBook became popular it seemed like every webmaster wanted to be Mark Zuckerberg and create their own social site as if FaceBook was the limit of innovation. But then guess what? Twitter came out. The point is there is always another idea just waiting to burst to the top of the internet. Your objective should be to find it when it is on the brink of bursting in popularity and put a twist on it.

This is where my concept of juicy content, not to be confused with juicy couture, comes in. Whatever it is that your site does to make it unique from the crowd of 9 billion other sites, whether it’s providing a service or selling Audemars Piguet watches, Beluga caviar, custom suits, Davidoff cigars, or Enzo Ferraris, emphasize it and make it easily accessible. If there is nothing unique about your site, no juicy content, your site will be going down down baby Nelly-style.

In building the site you are going to want to add all that Web 2.0 jazz that everyone talks about these days, however, don’t overdo it. Too much JavaScript and Ajax can not only be annoying, but can cause the site not to function properly on certain browsers. While we’re talking programming languages here I’ll also mention that my favorite web language is PHP, the other alternative is Microsoft’s ASP. Running a site on a Linux box with PHP and MySQL should be sufficient for almost any site – it’s what Wikipedia uses.

Now if you would prefer someone write the site for you, you can outsource a freelance coder from a site like GetACoder.com to make it exactly the way you want it or buy an already made site from SitePoint.com. Make sure they know how to SEO (search engine optimization) the site because you may get around half your traffic from search engines, mainly Google. Whether or not you are programming the site yourself, you may still want to buy a template from TemplateMonster.com depending on what type of site you’re making unless you’re the Banksy of Photoshop. Whatever you do, do not use any standardized content management system, ie. PHPNuke, or anything that was not written specifically for your site unless it is an additional feature of the site. There are some exceptions for sites that are only blogs, forums, wikis, etc.

After you get your site established, you are most likely going to want some advertisers if it is more of an entertainment site. If it is a company website that sells a specific product or service like a bank, you obviously don’t want to divert your traffic. TribalFusion, Adsense, Burst Media, GorillaNation, and Casale are top tier advertising agencies that will help you monetize your inventory. My advice is to stray away from popups, cpv ads, or anything that is too intruding. Your visitors will stop coming back with these kinds of ads and building a loyal customer base is absolutely vital to your success.

I’m going to end this Manifesto with a tip on one of best things you can do to DOUBLE your income on a site. It is to offer some type of membership with recurring billing. This can easily be handled through PayPal. 99% of the time people will forget to cancel it and leave it going for at least 6 months — maybe even years if you are lucky. I don’t think I have to further explain what this can do for your business…

Cheers and best of luck to your online success!

Tanning Beds as Harmful as Cigarettes

» 29 July 2009 » In Style » 1 Comment

Tanning Beds as Harmful as Cigarettes

Sunbeds pose a similar cancer risk as cigarettes and asbestos, according to an international cancer research agency.

“tanning machines should be moved to “the highest cancer risk category” and be labeled as “carcinogenic to humans”.

So this means we can now ban people from bars and restaurants with fake tans, right?

Carmex lip balm…check. Visine… check. Cash…check.

It’s the middle of July and it’s 105 degrees in the shade. I’m drained but none the less I’ve got to Enter the Dragon. Went a bit too far last night, but damn, I looked good doing it. Picture this; bone white Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo jacket with red silk pocket square, crisp white Gianni Versace couture button-down with black bow tie and tailored jet black slacks tickling the uppers of my Cole Haan mocs with the Nike Air sole. Stacy Dash… I see you lookin. I’m in Vegas and I feel like Tony right after he gets back to his crib… “I gotta get organized”. Montana, not Soprano, minus the blow. The Bella suite at the Venetian is perfect when you need an extra bed for your new found friends to sleep on. From my perspective, your body begins to shut down by your fourth day out here. You’ve got to pace yourself. Start every morning by sweating out the toxins, i.e. drugs, beer and liquor with a 30-45 minute workout at the gym in your hotel. No excuses. Water replenishment is another key to defeating the monkey that jumped on your back at about the time you strolled out of Spearmint Rhino with your pockets turned inside-out. This is the town that has the potential to spit you out with your shoestrings holding your pants up; remember Bell from Willie Dynamite?

Like The G Manifesto said, make sure that you’ve adequately stocked up on supplies before you arrive. Get your gum/altoids, Aleve, Visine, lip balm and cigarettes/cigars before you get into town. Your Zippo should be full of fluid. Time is yours to control as best you can. Also pack plenty of T’s, boxers and socks because you will sweat a lot. Good comfortable shoes are a must as you will be doing lots of walking. As a G you should be wearing comfortable shoes anyway because only cheap shoes hurt your feet. Steve Madden’s will be the death of you in Vegas.

With all of the wild summer pool parties going on, your day game has to be up to snuff. You should be confident enough in your appearance that taking your shirt off is not going to leave you feeling vulnerable and weak. Push-ups, crunches and pull-ups will help. If you’ve got weights, use em. I’ve even seen one G use hotel furniture (benches, coffee tables) to prep for the pool scene, its that important! The resort pool scene is the time to stack your lady count, or as I like to call it your kill score. Trust me, it’s very possible to pull a hat trick during a Vegas weekend; I’ve seen it happen. The dj’s will be spinning mostly top hits, but it’s your job to show off original dance moves. Listen to me. Learn from me. I was not the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you will win your freedom. – Proximo, Gladiato

If you are like me and you have a weakness for the green and red felt tables, you’ve got to do things to yourself so that you don’t ruin your life. Leave at least 200-300 dollars cash hidden either in your car parked at the airport or at your crib so that you have money once you get home. This prevents you from overspending what’s in your bank account. Limit your drinking at the tables. Casinos thrive on drunken gamblers, instead use this time to replenish your body with water and save the drinking for the clubs. And even then, don’t go overboard on the drinking, you have to be able to carry on a conversation with a fly honey and game spitting requires a clear head. Contrary to advice from the Big Tymer’s, this isn’t the time to drink till you throw-up. She will prolly be smashed out of her mind but that’s not your problem. Whether you bang it out or not you’ve got an image and a reputation to uphold. You’ve also spent too many chips on your gear to ruin it with vomit— be it yours or someone else’s.

Dress yourself in the best clothes you own. You can’t hit up Tao in a polo or a t-shirt and expect to get any type of respect. If you’ve got crappy gear, pack light and re-up at the Forum Shops (Caesars), Via Bellagio or the Grande Canal Shoppes (Venetian). You control your destiny and the perception that you portray is that of a G. As tempting as it may be to go with the common theme out here, you’ve got to stay in your lane—- no flashy T’s! Let them have that style all to themselves. I can’t begin to tell you how many times women commented on how nice I looked. I was suited for four straight nights! My game was on hyperdrive because of the Brock Lesnar/Frank Mir UFC title fight. Amongst a sea of print T’s adorned with sequins, bobby pins and safety pins, a well tailored suit really stands out.

If you aren’t satisfied with the Boise beauty queens or the Tallahassee trailer tramps, you can easily find a money pro honey sitting at the hotel bar. Trust me, it ain’t hard to tell. No real G will judge you for spending 2-3 hours with a Jessica Alba clone and her girlfriend. We don’t have to know that you blew last week’s paycheck on ass. Take a Polaroid picture of them, not with them and stash it away in your sin box.

Finally, you’ve got to eat good food. Avoid the buffets and venture beyond crappy hot dogs and cheeseburgers. You can get that stuff anytime back home. Eat foods that you’ve never had, I ordered the Eggs Benedict at the Grand Luxe Cafe and I’ll never forget that experience. It could have been my wonderful waitress Natasha or it could have been the fact that I chopped it up with Suge and almost knocked him for one of his lady friends. Unintentionally I might add. Suge, got much love for you big homie. This is the time to be a grown-up and channel your inner Anthony Bourdain. Real G’s eat real food.

DMV till I die

Michael Lewis: Goldman Sachs Rumors

Rumor No. 1: “Goldman Sachs controls the U.S. government.”

Every time we hear the phrase “the United States of Goldman Sachs” we shake our heads in wonder. Every ninth-grader knows that the U.S. government consists of three branches. Goldman owns just one of these outright; the second we simply rent, and the third we have no interest in at all. (Note there isn’t a single former Goldman employee on the Supreme Court.)

Rumor No. 2: “When the U.S. government bailed out AIG, and paid off its gambling debts, it saved not AIG but Goldman Sachs.”

The charge isn’t merely insulting but ignorant. Less responsible journalists continue to bring up the $12.9 billion we received from AIG, as if that was some kind of big deal to us. But as our CFO David Viniar explained back in March, we were hedged. Our profits from AIG “rounded to zero.”

Rumor No. 3: “As the U.S. government will eat the losses if Goldman Sachs goes bust, Goldman Sachs shouldn’t be allowed to keep making these massive financial bets. At the very least the $11.4 billion Goldman Sachs already has set aside for employees in 2009 — $386,429 a head, just for the first six months — is unfair, as the U.S. taxpayer has borne so much of the risk of the wagers that generated the profits.”

Really, we don’t know where to begin with this one. It is wrong-headed in so many different ways!

Let’s begin with the idea that the taxpayer is running a bigger risk than we are. The billions he stands to lose are trivial; after all, they round to zero.
