What's your future and is it worth it?
 

Everything depends on what you call "worth it".

The future isn't impossible to see. Ask yourself some very simple questions.

Are you making the same per 1,000 visitors to your sites or promos, you were making 1, 2, 3, 5 years ago?

Is the difference in traffic increasing or decreasing over those years?

Do the maths and see the future.

Without a great new idea or change in direction, the future is mapped out.

Of course you can gamble piracy will get nuked or something will come along to save you. Just don't plan on having a Fairy God Mother to save you.

And always assume every other person in the industry is planning to take what you have.

I am very comfortable with my future - think I prefer it to yours.

this is a cronjob you got running right?

I mean, again? Really?

Nothing to see here. Just the natural progress when a market moves from scarcity to abundance sorting out the old players who can't keep up with the change.

Look up Freemium Business Model.

I did as you suggested...Google brought me to this...

i am having a deja vu...

Mine is pretty well mapped out. The money made and invested will continue to pay out over the future to the end of my life. The bit coming in from the sites will be cream on the cake, the days of cherries are long gone.

It was a question on another board that made me think back to management and budget training. This kind of thing is something every businessman should be doing all the time. Nothing is guaranteed, we all make calculations and plan on them.

I'm sure the businessmen here do this all the time.

Yes, his story is proof that the Internet is flawed and will die. This year.
