April 25th, 2011 Ok, I have a confession to make. I have spent almost my whole life– 31 years– caring far too much about offending people, worrying if I’m cool enough for them, or asking myself if they are judging me. I can’t take it anymore. It’s stupid, and it’s not good for my well being. Today, ladies and gentlemen, is different. We’re going to talk about the cure. Do you wonder if someone is talking shit about you? Well, it’s time you started not giving a fuck. FACT NUMBER 1. Yes, it’s really happening right at this moment. What people truly respect is when you draw the line and say “you will go no further.” Right. Regular people are fine– you don’t actually hear it when they’re talking behind your back. Thankfully, that’s not actually true. FACT NUMBER 2. This stuff is crazy, I know, but it’s cool, you’ll get used to it. How liberating this is may not even hit you yet, but it will. You know when they say “the best revenge is a life well lived”? FACT NUMBER 3. Relationships are weird. Related:  Food for thought

Please note that the list may change as more people chime in with their opinions. 1. If you don't know what Wikipedia is by now, perhaps you should check the Wikipedia page for it. 2.

Why did this simple review site sell for $600K? Last week I interviewed Thomas Smale, a broker from Flipping Enterprises who are one of the UK’s leading middle-tier brokers of web and digital businesses. We intended to cover tactics to help you get more when you sell your site, but ended up covering a whole lot more thanks to our inherently British ability to ramble. Develop a plan based on the amount of time you can spend on getting traffic and developing the site Build a significant social following: – Investors love a site that doesn’t rely on Google - It’s easier to assist people to spread the word for you via Social media rather than investing time in linkbuilding – Genuine social traffic generally tells a buyer that the site’s content is good quality. Put a good system in place that makes the business easy to run. In parts, the audio is a little patchy thanks to my terrible home internet connection (the office would have been too noisy anyhow!)

Kommunikation und Wortschatz ... und aus Worten wird manchmal Sprachmüll... Machen Sie die sprachliche Wurm-Kur! Mit klarer und präziser Kommunikation kommen Sie einfacher zu Effizienz und Eindeutigkeit. Nun, lesen Sie im Original Fachartikel (02/2011) über das Thema Wortschatz und Kommunikation als PDF, ob “Sprachmüll” oder eher ein “Wortschatz” daraus wird. Gute Kommunikation: Sprach-Müll entsorgen, Wort-Schätze heben! „Sie haben mich falsch verstanden! Dennoch sind diese „Reizformulierungen“ in vielen Diskussionen zu hören Aber auch die kleinen Brüder, die „Reizwörter“, haben es in sich: trotzdem, aber, dennoch. Worte bestimmen unsere Lebensrealität Der passive Wortschatz – das sind alle Worte, die Sie verstehen, aber nicht unbedingt selbst benutzen – liegt zwischen 30.000 und 50.000 Wörtern. Boulevardzeitungen kommen mit etwa 1.000 Worten aus!

Affiliate Marketing – The SMART Way — Super-Affiliates Work Smarter – Not Necessarily Harder… It’s Been a Good Ride, Folks… March 25th, 2014 · 108 Comments It’s been a good ride, folks – but I’m done with affiliate marketing. And honestly – I more or less “checked out” over a year ago at this point. Does this mean affiliate marketing is dead? No. I personally know people still doing 6 and 7 figures with AM. And I still see plenty of opportunity for affiliate marketing on an integrative level, in tandem with more leveraged models. So, don’t worry. So I guess it’s more accurate to say that affiliate marketing – at least traditionally speaking – simply doesn’t interest me anymore. There’s a number of reasons for this… which I’ll get into shortly. I Need to Apologize for Completely Disappearing for a Full Year I admit – that was a bit of an asshole move. Which is actually more involving than you might think. But I assure you… as you’ll soon see – it’s been worth the wait. I won’t drag this out into a monolith explanation – mostly because I don’t need to. …and therefore not worth building.

Motherfucking Website fear.less - real-life stories of overcoming fear About me Thank you for reading Legal Nomads. I am a former lawyer who has spent the last many years traveling (and eating!) my way around the world. This site began as a travel blog for my family and friends when I quit my job in 2008 and took off to see the world. I thought I would travel for a year, and wanted to post photos and share crazy stories so that my loved ones could follow along from afar. Over eight years later… A return to my old job never happened, and Legal Nomads grew with each passing year of travel. About Legal Nomads Legal Nomads started as a vaguely chronological recounting of my time living and eating abroad. Over the years, Legal Nomads evolved from a personal blog to a multi-focused platform for food, stories, and photography. If you are new to the site, you might want to start with:my Best Articles page, which is divided by topic.the World Travel Resources Page, which hopefully serves as a starting point for those feeling overwhelmed with travel planning.
