How a 21 year old Made $2.5 Million Online and Blew it all in a Year



Hey Duckface, it's Pace. You should hire me. I'll show you how to setup a successful website on a budget. Even I'm not stupid enough to spend $120k on a e-commerce + networking website.
 
O really? Idea is what counts?

......

The whole mix is important... From the idea, to execution, to proper monetization and lastly IMO most importantly: intelligent marketing.

......

Everything can work and anyone can fail miserably.

Well, obviously I wasn't talking about people who have "ideas" and then sit on their asses and do nothing about it. You obviously have to act upon an idea. Thank you so much for pointing that out Captain Obvious.

"Everything can work"? Not sure if serious, but if you were, then that statement is about as false as it gets.
 
It happens, but in this economic climate it will just hurt some more while they desperately seek for a new niche, but since the guy is only 21 I am sure plenty more opportunities will come
 
LOL, I was 19. And I'm pretty sure you couldn't program to save your life against me. And I'm pretty sure I know more languages, and could out program you blindfolded ass wipe.

As far as SEO, SEO is not my expertise, programming is, douchebag. And it's been four years, people grow up, and learn new things. Get a grip, ass wipe.

Poor Andrew, it seems you have'nt grown up at all since your last failure. Yes i said you failed in SEO, because well, you fucking did (big time). I don't care about your programming skills, but i can tell you this, anyone who's working with web development should know basic SEO.

Lol, let me think this from your perspective: I have a site on #1 position for a very competitive keyword on google. How did it get there.... hmmm.. must be magic... hmm i wonder what my cousin JIPOW did in the last Jersey Shore episode i missed while in a gay stripclub... hey let me buy some design magic for my #1 site and have the url's rewritten by mod_rewrite and have SOMEONE ELSE code all that shit, since im such a fucking great web developer. Im such a great person, i fucking rule. :repuke:

Your still very young and butthurt for your own mistakes. Good luck.
 
i swear i dont understand all the self righteous hating going on in this thread...the lil homie worked hard for a few years then made it big...then lost it...ok so the comments of "idiot" "fool" "dummy" or whatever else are cool and may be warranted...but the fact remains he was a millionaire at a young age...which very few people have achieved...getting into the whole seo thing is stupid cuz if u read what he said on his blog...he started his site b4 myspace layouts was even a highly searched keyword...thus making him a pioneer of the term or whatever...also if any of u dudes have every made 2 dollars over lunch money u know how that money can spoil you and make u lazy and want to hire people to do all sorts of shit for u...this is what he said happened to him and without prior experience he does not know how to deal with his success...i for one wish him luck in the future and applaud his success...also...to the dude that was asking him about hookers...i believe he was being sarcastic when he said he paid for 60 hoes and then followed with..."yeah like i need to pay for sex"
