Life advice upon turning age 30, from the president of Y Combinator

SPI 263: Laddering Up: How to Build a 7-Figure Business by Building a $7K per Month Business

Clay Collins of LeadPages returns to the Smart Passive Income Podcast for another incredible, value-packed (and potentially record-breaking) episode. This time, Clay is dropping serious knowledge on building a seven-figure business, step by step.

During his time as CEO and co-founder of LeadPages, Clay has watched his business grow from a humble blog to a seven-figure company with a sprawling array of product offerings. He’s got his process for scaling a successful business down to a science, and that’s what he’s sharing here today.

Clay’s got big plans for this episode: He wants to break his own record for the most downloads of an SPI Podcast episode (Episode 78). He wants to pack hundreds of dollars of value—the equivalent of an online course—into one interview. And he wants you to walk away with a framework you can implement today to turn your business into a million-dollar operation.

Sound good? Listen in, and hear just how much Clay delivers!

Evaluating link quality, Google Combats Fake News & Seismic Shift In Top Companies – Weekly Forum Update

This week members asked tough questions about how to evaluate the quality of your links.

Google released features to help combat fake news and what this may mean for SEOs

Members also discussed to what degree Alphabet, Googles parent company, is a monopoly and how 5 out of the 10 biggest companies are now Internet or computer companies.

How do you find links to boost Google rankings?

Over on Webmasterworld, GoodROI asked about qualifying link opportunities with directory submissions and pagerank being long dead – this is something that many of us in the SEO world have wrestle with. Members joined in with a variety of interesting tactics.

Jestermagic recommended a content marketing approach but caveated it with that it works best for already established sites:

“For the most part I don’t do much to chase down links. What I do is provide useful content that sometimes gets linked to by major media outlets (and others). This approach works for a well establish site that is over a decade old.

It doesn’t work for newer sites that I have which don’t have the backlinks.”

EditoralGuy chimed in about leveraging online PR for link acquisition

“I suspect that public relations is more effective than trolling for links, assuming that you have the type of content that people want to cite as additional resources for whatever they’re writing about.”

On this front, Iamlost included thoughts on his homegrown onlinePR approach

“I also did outreach to niche journalists, initially local (in a great many localities but individually local) whenever there was a news story I could piggyback on. Journalists collect resources, I collect journalists.”

Iamlost also mentioned leveraging third parties to host content, link, and send referral traffic

“I only place 10-15% of slideshows and videos on third parties, i.e. SlideShare, YouTube.”

Can a single backlink affect an entire site?

This question from Halaspike, is definitely one many of us ask ourselves when trying to correlate our linkbuilding efforts to our traffic!

Keyplyr mentions the domain authority factor that can be affected by the links you’re getting

“Backlink juice is a page-by-page type of thing, but if the link if from an authoritative source, there *could* be a Trust factor benefit applied to the site.

On the down side, if the link is from a bad-neighborhood, there *could* be a negative impact to the site.”

Buckworks comments that its theoretically possible but don’t hold your breath

“It can’t be assumed that a link from “a very high quality website” will automatically confer a lot of SEO benefits. There will be some, of course, but the effects might vary a lot depending on what page the link is on. Even on an authoritative site, not every page is a strong page, SEO-wise, so not every link will be a strong one.”

Google talks about its latest search quality improvements

Both Google and Facebook are racing to figure out how to combat offensive and false in the midst of recent criticisms. Engine comments that many of the items mentioned are things that are already known in the SEO community, such as domain authority but Google will begin adding flags to featured rich snippets and user feedback mechanisms for autocomplete and featured rich snippets.

It will be interesting to watch how these changes affect opinion pieces and new publishers, as well as how Google will combat adversarial attempts to manipulate new feedback mechanisms.

Google PR Replacement

As measuring the value of acquired links has become increasingly challenging in recent years, member wygk looks for an alternative. Members state that there is no great alternative but suggest several subscription-based alternatives to provide some rough guidance, including Majestic Flowmetrics and Moz Domain Authority.

Could someone help me establish a merchant account in the US for an ecommerce store with a high chargeback ratio (10%) and with a fast approval? Thanks in advance.

Should I constantly worry about about trademark/patent infringement?

Hey everyone,

I need some serious relief. Every time I want to sell something, in the back of my head I keep thinking I am going to infringe on a trademark or patent without even knowing it. So, I search. So for patents and trademarks I use USPTO and google patent search. Even after I search these I feel uneasy like I didn't do a good search or I could have missed one thing. When I do see a patent similar to mine, its like "Maybe I am infringing? Maybe not?" I can never say for sure....

I noticed MJ changed his avatar and it displays the following quote.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Friedrich Nietzsche

Google keyword planner blues

I hyped myself up to do some PPC and test my site with people who are already looking for the type of product I sell (as opposed to general interest in a niche like on FB, since this is an accessory and people don't buy very often).

The keyword planner really dampened my enthusiasm. There are a bunch of keywords that are in the 1-10 thousand average monthly search volume bracket in my ad group. What it all translates to in the testing tab is 510 views per day, with an average estimate of...

Trading Stocks The Safe Way

Hello Everyone,

I am new to the forum and I have read MJ's book. I naturally gravitated to the investment portion of the forum because it is what I have been learning and studying for for many years.

I read through all of the MJ's and ICK posts on the printing money thread. I commend them for detailing out the strategy they use how successful they are with it. It's really amazing and I encourage anyone who is interested in options to have a look at it. I traded that way for a few years,...

Cheapest Solution For Sending USD $$ From Europe/UK to China

At the moment I am being charged a premium by my bank to send USD to China. This morning the advertised tourist rate was £1 = $1.29. My bank gave me $1.24 costing me over £50 on a relatively small transfer.

Is it really needed ?

So let's say you have an idea.

You evaluate the idea against the NECTS commandments and arrive at the conclusion that it mostly fulfills all of them. Your doubt is in the Need commandment. How do you go about getting rid of that doubt?

In other words, how do you know if a product/service is really needed. Do you scratch you own itch? Do you go to forums and try to understand if people complain about something your product/service solves ?

Hi,

I am currently setting up Woocommerce to test the demand for a product before going “all out”

Who here has some interesting methods of clearing your head and getting focused?

Creating Beauty Products

Hello Fastlaners! ,

Recently I have stumbled upon a facial recipe which I thought was pretty awesome. I came across the recipe while doing research for a skin care routine for myself. After a few hours learning which ingredients are effective I combined the ones I liked the most and just mixed them up tried it. The end result was pretty good. The facial made my face pulsate and instantly look more vibrant and it felt energized afterwards. All natural ingredients of course.
