James discusses with Charles how this business is a business of hope. James shares an analogy he used at CJU with movies. He tells listeners that Hollywood puts time and money into making movies even though they don’t know whether or not they will be a blockbuster hit, but they make them anyway. Some will be a blockbuster while others will just do okay. The same applies to building websites, not every site will be a winner however they will still make money over time.
James and Charles talk about thin sites and what that really means. They share a Google memo stating they have hired students to go in an start looking at websites. They define thin sites as being sites with poor or no content. James tells listeners that if you strip out all your ads, merchants and menus what you have left defines you site as thin or not. The more content you have the fuller your site is.
James talks with Charles about common issues with the PAD technique and why some people really take off with PAD and others don’t. You’ll discover the need to have a solid position in your emails and how to follow through.
Then James shares his recent conversation with an affiliate manager and how this manager got going in the internet industry. The manager shared that the one thing in he knew about that site is that is never felt like work building it. Charles notes to listeners that is the key, pick a topic that doesn’t feel like work.
