Yeah Paul, why should we listen to old timers who made it big when making it big was easy? Hopefully your endless paragraphs of sage advice will stop now.
SHAP: Let me lay out for you the reason why no one has taken you up on your many offers of "help" (including me):
Instead of having any skin in the game (money) you want to give your sage advice. Great! So a Program approaches you and says, "I need another 100K hits a day and based on my conversion ratios and experience we would kill it."
You: "OK, do X,Y and Z."
Program: "But if I do that it will take me x number of months/years to organically build those traffic sources. If you pony up 50K we can get those traffic sources built in a few months and jump-start this thing. If it's going to take me years to build something myself what do I need you for?"
You: "Um..."
Get it? Your advice is useful ONLY if it is actionable. If the Program has to do it all by themselves (invest their own resources) guess what? We don't need your advice. LOL
Sorry man but those are the realities. Put up or shut up.
