I just went to apps-r-us.com and got 404'd. Is that yours? If so, you're probably losing a lot of money by not going with a reliable hosting company.

You know, it depends also on what do you want to in your life. I don't want ever to quit a regular job as just marketing in internet doesn't make me feel like I am doing the right thing in my life. Even if that brings you more money. The idea is to really help others and not just make money...

I went to your site and I think you should go back to your cook job. The stuff you produce is what gives hard working GENUINE software developers like me a bad name, and the money you claim to churn is an intriguing set of statements perhaps designed more for the purpose of making more sales.

You "get rich" by getting others to "get rich" - that's what your site suggests... which makes you a pyramid marketer, rather than a software developer or anyone making an ethical living (you use the word ethical on your site, the same way civil servants use words to vaporize the necessity of implementing what they mean - you get the hardest part out of the way in the title, Sir Humphrey says - you call the document which insists on total secrecy by the name "Open Government")

I like this phrase:
"unemployable mindset".

That proves you do have what it takes to become a genuine decent businessman! You understand what happens when you decide that it's reasonable to expect to be able to work for yourself and earn the largest reward possible for any work you do - employers don't like that. When I told them of the good aspects of my web development they gave me no jobs. When I lied and said it had all failed and was rubbish and never made money, I got a job in a flash.

People DO make millions on the web, by producing legitimate sites. But anyone selling ebooks or advertising "get rich quick" schemes is part of the problem, not the solution.

Just my 874 euros.


no wait, here's another 15 euros of my opinion...

well jv17, i suspect you'll turn up there anyway and say something like "great mansion, thanks for sharing it" followed by links to your seo blog thing.

I went to one of your directories and browsed to the directory listings for "art history" and this is what your site gave me as the only visible results in that section:

hmm. these barcelona hostels really cover every aspect of humanity. instead of leaving school to become a pyramid marketer, maybe the ex-chef ought to just go to a hostel in barcelona and become a nouveau renaissance multi-dimensional timelord guru?

wasn't Manuel (from Fawlty Towers) from Barcelona? He speak engleesh very good, he learn heem from a book.

Awesome story, I am 24 yo now and have been involved in domains for the last 4 years. I am now starting to develop websites and am slowly building my monthly income. I will be happy when I am earning $4,000 a month but am aiming towards much bigger things. Thanks for the inspiration!
