Uhm, i dont think he did that interview with the NEWS to promote to webmasters, if he wanted to promote to us hed have one of those stupid "how i mad blah blah" sites, but with the money he makes he doesnt need to bother with that does he???
Do you know how many family businesses that are passed on to the next generation survive? How many kids grow up wanting to take over the family business? I, for one, would rather prove myself. In fact, one of my friend's family is in BRW top 200 but she has no intention of working in the family business. There's definitely more growth in it for PlentyOfFish but can he do it all alone? Swamped is the operative word there. Do you really call answering emails, and listening to people complain is interesting? Do you think also that it was wrong for the YouTube owners to sell up? With $1 billion in the account.. even at a measley 5% interest, that's $50,000,000 a year - for doing nothing. Now take a seat and digest that! And with all that passive income rolling in, imagine the possibilities... imagine the fun you can really have, creating the next idea, without having to worry about whether you're going to make enough out of it to feed yourself. And... imagine the people you can really start helping with all that money. Why not both?
The man said he enjoys what he does. To each his own. I'm not sure there is anything else to say... ;-)
Hey, some people can manage many sites, others prefer to focus all on one site. Sure, it's a bit risky (too many eggs in one basket, etc) but hey, he's making a ton of cash a day, so even after being taxed into the ground by the IRS it must still be quite substancial, enough to start up numerous other sites
You guys are missing the point. The real question is, why would someone earning 10k a day work in such an ugly small room with such a crappy pc? I bet I'd go for a more "Shoemoney" route: several monitors, the most powerful computers available, and an Hummer
to who ever gave me that negative rep and said I had no clue: I'm just expressing my opinions and welcome anyone else's thoughts on this topic. Nobody is stopping you from having your say on this thread. And if you think my contributions to this topic are worthless, tell me why. I thought the point of forums was for an open discussion.
Are you sure ?? $10,000 a day.. isnt it a LOT ? something that I dont want to believe.. Anyone knows the secrete behind it ?? i am sure, this is the question whose answer I wont get.. but still. whats the theory behind this ?
Hes #1-3 on Google for practically all free dating phrases, and does alot of other advertising, so i think that explains itself.
If i find something i love to do, I would do it till the day i retired or died. God Bless this guy.. Although i do think his site does need a new or better look. But who i am i to say, he makes about $9,999 more then me each day ;-). I am curouis how much a site like myspace makes from google ads? I am sure they have alot more traffic then Plentyoffish.
I agree 100%. There are people making 10,000 aday and others eaking out a living with business at 50 a day. The thing that truly counts is they enjoy what they are doing.
