I’ve gotten two guest posts sent in, need around five more. If you’re up for it, send me an email - cheers!
I promised I’d do this some day as I’ve had a few requests, and a tonne of questions left by various people in the comments section, so here we go.
Anyways, the rules are easy, just leave a question on this post and I’ll answer it in a follow up post tomorrow. Questions can be on internet marketing, blogging, making money, entrepreneurship, well – anything related, really.
As I’m a lazy git, I’ll only take a maximum of 30 people asking questions (30 replies to the post). So if you’re after that, I’m sorry. I do not think it will reach 30, but just in case I have to set a limit.
Question that I deem coolest gets a banner ad in the sidebar for a month. Maybe one for the second coolest, we’ll see.
Fire away!

Jason,
With owning over a hundred domain names and presently having a couple of dozen sites published, in various states of growth, I have some questions about WP themes.
Do you have an opinion on using Free themes versus custom designed ones?
Do you recommend anyone, or a company that could pump out say a half dozen custom sites for say 30 bucks each? I have a couple of hard business sales type sites that would be better not to use a free theme on.
Who does your design work? For instance there is no mistaking what the first impression is to new viewers when visiting you site. That is kick-ass header design work.
I for one would like to learn more about WordPress ideas from TUK.
Thanks for the billboard.

Dan, this was in a post a few days ago:
“A lot of you have asked how I started making money… I started writing articles at shitty rates (like… $0.004/word) off job websites. Later on, I moved to things like forum posting, and as I got more experienced I started website flipping.”

I’m always interested in flipping websites so I’ll ask about it.
I tried to come up with new kind sites to quickly flip as I couldn’t find any good plr-content and I don’t have enough money to hire people to write articles for niche-sites. I was thinking about flipping BANS-sites, but the buyer would need to own a lisence.. :S
So, what kind of sites have you flipped past the plr-content and those niche article -ones you have written about?

Jason? May I ask two questions? You can pick the best one if you want, but I am asking two.
1.Owning so many domain names, maybe over a hundred, is it hard to manage all of those and keep them up to date, especially having to manage TUK, BP, and family? I know that not all of the domains are active, but is it still hard? Also if you want a domain name, should you buy it right away because it might be taken soon?
2.What are the 5 hardest (you can make it one, 3, 2, whatever. Doesn’t have to be 5) of being a young entrepreneur? And how do you get past most barriers of being a young entrepreneur?
2.

Do you still find yourself making money online in a year? Five years? 10 years? If not, what do you see yourself doing? And would it make as much money as what you’re doing now online?
I know that was more than one question but figured some people would like to know your future plans because they look up to you. I think you mentioned part of the answer to me before…

Can you show us a site that you “flipped” previously… since after all you no longer own it? I guess my question is how much content is enough content to flip a website? you had mentioned filling it up with a few articles I think, but that doesn’t seem like enough to entice a buyer to spend a few hundred bucks.
Thanks

Sorry for the double comment, but I guess a follow up question in case you don’t get 30 (which is unlikely) is … How do you get so many comments? I think most newer blogs struggle to get activity from the readers… do you have any tips or tricks since you have gotten at least 3 people so far averaging 2 comments per day?

Do you think a blogger needs to post every day to have a successful and profitable blog? If not, is it possible to maintain readership with quality posts about concrete and useful money-making topics that are less frequent (say 3-4 posts per week)?

OK then, where shall we start…?
1) Do you prefer to flip/sell brand new sites (no traffic, PR, sales history etc.) or established sites and why?
2) What is your decision-making process for choosing a niche for a blog/site to flip?
3) How do you rapidly ramp up traffic to a new blog so you can sell it with healthy visitor numbers even when it’s reasonably new?
4) What are you actually studying at university?!
5) What motivational techniques do you use to keep plugging away at this game? I know a lot of people burn out or get bored before they start really getting successful at it…
6) In terms of business, what has been your best investment to date and why?
7) What is the craziest thing you would be willing to do to raise money for charity?
Well, I think that will do for a start. NEXT!!!

I know you’ve talked a lot about site flipping, but my question is…
Once you’ve flipped the site and found a buyer for whatever price, what method do you use to transfer all of the necessary files to the new owner?
Short and sweet, I know, but I feel a post with information like this, coupled with the techniques you’ve described in the past about site flipping could be a big hit.

How have you adapted the University Kid blog over the time that you have owned it? In other words, I’m sure you’ve adjusted the strategy in what you are posting and when (as I have)… I’d love to know what your biggest focuses are now as you seem to be looking more entrepreneur than before.

Hey Jason,
I know the Q and A session is over and the questions have been answered, but I have a question that maybe you can address in the future (maybe in a post?!).
A lot of your recent posts have focused on making money with flipping sites, selling your own products, and different marketing for money techniques. These are great ideas, but what do you think of building sites that you just create, load content on, market, then sit back and earn money on auto-pilot? You know, the Made for Adsense (or other advertiser) type sites?
I work a full time job (that I am not lazy at!) but when it comes to MMO, which I do after hours, I am lazy. Personally I am more into creating niche sites to sit on and earn, rather than flip them (I know you did a post about this in the past, fast money versus residual income). I know that a lot of MMO’ers make money by having a large portfolio of static sites. Do you do this as well? If so I am interested in hearing more about that!
