Q & A Session At TUK
Posted on August 4th, 2008 by Jason under GeneralI’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.

What was the first way you made money online? The very first, way back when…
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.”
Faint’s last blog post..How To Make Your Own Beer.
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?
BlackHatWay’s last blog post..Ask affiliate-programs for personal discount-coupons
Hello,
i’m a newbie in site flipping..There are some question that popping up my mind about flipping site..Here the question
1)If a user request to transfer on his/her server,do i need to charge extra fee?
2)the second question is the same that being asked by rich hill about the free theme used.Changing the header and footer is it enough already?
That’s all for now

Can you tell me more about you path to success?
Ganesh’s last blog post..Sunday Link Roundup - 08/03/2008
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.
Nathaniel’s last blog post..Predictably Irrational
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…

@Rich Hill - I love your question but Jason may not want to answer all of it. He doesn’t like to share all his resources.:p
Nathaniel’s last blog post..Predictably Irrational
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
Sell Porn Make Money’s last blog post..Friday Freebie - Free Porn Video - Take 2
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)?

Hello
How can we market niche e-books without having authority (say without having blogs) in that niche? I have written a few on topics I am passionate about but I don’t have blogs in that niche. Should I release these under pen-names?

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?

Richard’s last blog post..Use Batching To Increase Your Online Efficiency
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 has this money making online business affected your life? Do you want to settle down with it after you finish school?

Here’s my question:
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.
Thanks!

Jason, you like calling yourself a lazy arse, but you own many sites and update them. You also post regularly daily on this blog. If you are are lazy, what will you call someone that has only 1 blog and posts like 4 times a month on the blog.

A little personal but… We all know that you must spend a ton of time on MMO. But when your taking a break from MMO what else do you do online? What sites do you like to visit, what types of online activities do you enjoy?
Hey Jason. Here’s a question.
Say someone owned a MMO blog. What would you say (based on your experience) is the best way to increase traffic?
My question is
Is there a thing like spending too much on promotion?
Is every dollar/euro etc spent on promotion good?
What’s the best way to achieve an online income of $50+ per day without flipping sites?
Nowadays every kid seems to hook up on making money online.. what is the biggest disadvantage that you think for someone very young trying to enter this internet marketing/making money online world?

Normal Joe’s last blog post..New Theme, New Direction, Same Joe.
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!
Wow…This is one of the best post I have ever seen. Really I love the answers that perfectly hit the nail on the head. ALL THE BEST!!!
