<p> Well Poker seems to be more and more attactive for me again lately since the site isnt going nowhere anyway. People are so sick and tired of classifieds and that type of thing and since ive been so out of the loop it was first and last error - which further drove my obssession to make it work by spending more money on it lol. I might go for the retarded route and grind vpps (not even sure if that'll give me profits). Going to start tomorrow with it and try to maintain supernova if i can. 7kvpps is tough when u play 50nl fr.</p><p> Anyway a 2p2 midstakes solid winning FR reg msged me on skype that he wanted to move to the Philippines with his GF whos apparently a Filipina born in the U.S., they plan to stay here and study and needed a local to keep them safe and show them the ropes here in the city where i live, he wants to pay for my services but im willing to take live coaching sessions instead, i hope it pans out. </p><p> So good luck to me and this time im taking a break from website bs for now and not going back until I have some really solid plan and idea before trying it out, learned the ins and outs of the whole trade but was just cash strapped to make any sort of additional changes.</p>
Before you make a website about anything I haves ome tips:
-Idea should be unique, or at least target a specific demographic, anything very broad and vague without a solid base of registered users is rarely ever going to take off
-Site should be coded well and should be very SEO - friendly, I mean if you can't be seen, how the hell can they know they like your site
-Spend money on the site platform, don't use wordpress, smf, mambo or other free shit that's out there, No one will ever take it seriously, no matter what your content is, people take a look and just feel its made of some free crap, without coding theres nothing much out there for you to use on those free platforms anyway, if you plan on making it profitable spend. gone are the days where u get "lucky"
-content is king, if content is just copy/pasted stuff all over the net, people will know it.

i seriously doubt it. when a guy insists he wants to pay for your services he usually just wants to use you for exactly that. I cant charge a lot anyway for stuff like that and getting coaching once a week is expensive from a guy like him, i think once he settles in the city he wont be needing me anyway so i have like 1 to 3 months window lol, with the Gf around i think he just wants to be safe and even wants a license to carry a concealed firearm permit haha. ill see what i can do for him about that part tho. |

not at all man, hes just waaaay paranoid, its like bangkok without the ladyboys, hookers and drunken tourists like bynesam strolling around town at night 
not much of a party place for sure, but beaches here are decent enough. if you're into eco-tourism stuff its pretty decent, if you want partying u fly to boracay or siargao for surfing stuff but this city is not polluted and crime infested like manila is. Lachlan was supposed to swing by but i guess he had too mcuh fun in Manila if ever he went |

thats not true what you said about using a free content management system like wordpress or w.e// CNN uses wordpress, WIRED uses wordpress.. in the end if you dont know how to control the code and the graphics its gonna look crap either way, but just because you paid for something doesnt mean you know it or its better.. |

yeah i meant u need to know how to make it look a bit different rather than using the vanilla type content and small edits. and just rely on pre-made themes and stuff, otherwise it's just going to look really uninteresting generic. paid cms though usually are better for non coders and designers since they have so much better looking layouts and available free content. cnn and wired are both pretty old and established sites, im talking about new sites which have very little chance of growth if it doesnt look different than most of what has been out there for years. i also notice alot of sites that used to use free platforms and have now grown eventually upgrade to paid cms and forum platforms to keep up and update with the current trends. |
