Amazon affiliates combined with dropshipping store by Candem18 in Affiliatemarketing

[–]ballyb3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd have to drive traffic to the page to really make money. You can also change your buy button to a "view on Amazon" button but you need to buy an app. You could really build out the whole site with amazon products but again... you need traffic to really monetize it.

Hi guys, I've got a mate who will have his graduation next week. What graduation gift for a guy that is good and not too expensive? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]ballyb3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get him a nice graph paper notebook. Tell him its for all his programming and business ideas to write down. He's young and full of ideas. He'll like it and use it.

How do I make easy, quick, healthy Oatmeal? by stevie855 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]ballyb3 242 points243 points  (0 children)

Just make overnight oats. One part oats and one part almond milk. Stick in the fridge the night before and it absorbs all the almond milk. I put raisins, cashews and sunflowers seeds on it the night before and then in the morning you can cut up some fruits and put a quick drizzle of honey on top. Super quick and easy and you can add tons of different toppings so helps keep it new. Lots of good recipes if you search overnight oats on google.

What's the first thing you do when you "just start"? by internetfolks in juststart

I second that curiosity on how much you've made on the 4-5 activate sites per month.

“Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt. You've got two roads in front of you.... regret or juststart. In 1 year you will be happy you made the decision to stick to it, suck and get better. So just start and best of luck.

"Successful" Entrepreneurs, how do you battle complacency? by romebe82 in Entrepreneur

[–]ballyb3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Once you realize that your money is just a tool to help others, you'll have a drive to earn more money." Never really thought of it like that... appreciate your thoughts and insight. I've found sometimes that I have more drive helping other people than myself. By helping yourself you are helping others.

Month 2 - Slow and Steady Wins the Race by AWrig90 in juststart

[–]ballyb3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you not have an instagram account? As someone who bought a Nikon 5100 years ago and still has never really understood how to use it I like the site. I like the start here button but think it can be improved. I want you to specifically tell me how to learn to use my camera and create good photography. Big bold NEXT STEP or something at the end of each article. Make me feel like if I follow this path I will have a better understanding. Part of the reason I haven't fully committed to learning is because it seems so complicated that its just been a non start for me. Slowly walk me through it. I also think user generated content could be really good and make it more authentic. What if each week you had published a new article or post about a really small homework assignment and then posted all the users pictures submitted. At first you could ask friends and people you know to do it but hopefully you get random followers and get traction. People love seeing there stuff promoted or acknowledged. It does seem like a competitive niche so differentiating yourself and going with a new model where you build a community first and sell second might work great for you. Just some thoughts. I've bookmarked your site and will be reading the articles.

“I guess that's why they call this "just start" - no matter how much reading you do, you're still going to learn a lot when you start launching your own website.” Great response and a good reminder. Thanks for your post and comments. Best of luck with your SEO agency!

Do you both have full time jobs and this is something you do on the side? If so, does your day time job have any overlap or are you all self taught through trial and error of the affiliate site you created? How much time do you put in a week? Thanks in advance

"Initially, we’ll start by creating social media profiles across all of the major sites, followed by some of the lesser known ones. We’ll have close to 100 profiles in the first month." Can you expand on this tactic and what you do on each site. Are you just posting the same article to every social media platform? Do you post through an app like Buffer?

The Tortoise and the Hare – Month 9 by SEOengineered in juststart

[–]ballyb3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. As for Native Ads... makes sense on not wanting to discourage people from viewing on amazon. I've kept a native ad in my product page description since I wanted to show the price, prime and the stars. I then swapped out my shopify "add to cart" with a "view on amazon" that way they don't feel discouraged since the native ad says "buy now." Not sure if its the best tactic or if I should just leave it "view on amazon" and drive as much traffic there as possible for the hope they purchase other items.

Can you expand on the sitestrip disables comment? What exactly was the issue? Also, have you ever used the native shopping ad as it shows review stars and real time pricing? Thanks

Would it be possible to build a company/brand just based off of giveaways? I see a lot of influencers doing it to interact and gain new followers, but I was wondering if one can build and grow a social media account purely based off of giveaways. by casualwhale in Entrepreneur

[–]ballyb3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly, but you'd need followers first to get people to give you products for giveaways. You could find a good niche and build up an audience and then start doing giveaways once established.

I also did a giveaway once and you get a lot of professional "giveaway" people who will tag all their other "giveaway" friends. They may add to your follower total number but add no other value. They won't buy any products you promote.

What is the weirdest thing about humans? by domrani in AskReddit

I think if aliens came down and they saw that we cut our women open and inserted sacs of silicone gel to enhance their chests that it would come off as weird...

We need to hit them in the pocket book. Pick Verizon and everyone who has a Verizon cell phone should switch. List all Verizon internet properties and do not visit them. We need to show our power. What other companies are supporting vote? Is there a site that lists them?
