Oh no you re-appear.

"successfully directed many online businesses for a few years now" debatable and how come all the websites you mention have been registered for less than 6 months and not years?

"i didn't have enough time to run as proffessionaly as i would have liked" And the prize for understatment of the year goes to Matt, atleast you admit it.

"i am making a hell of alot for a young entrepreneur", is that in comparison to you friends paper round? AFAIK you have never substantiated you earnings with anything more than hot air.

Ok, will you answer this questions then?

You mentioned above that you have run websites over several years, yet non of the ones you mention have been registered before Nov 05?

I have no intention of putting you down by the way.

Yes, you are right. The iPod craze is already coming to an end, and ipod sales have been dropping rappidly. Apple are squeezing every last ipod out as quickly as possible

This is another reason why i sold up

Hi Matt,

A warm welcome to this forum.

If you don't mind, may i ask what is the core for profit on this site? Is it sales or advertising? I am hoping to learn from you as i am very amazed with your success!

Hope you enjoy yourself here!

Nearly all of it is the affiliate banners and advertising, hardly any sales.

Most of these templates are not successful, but i was lucky to get a premium spot on salehoo which drives 99% of traffic.

If you really really don't want to give me your supplier, can you give me one that you once used that is trustworthy, but may be a bit more expensive that yours.

I need anyone!

P.S. Im 15 as well, whens your birthday?

You will not make friends going round asking questions like this, if you can't do your own research why do you expect others to?

And if you have no idea where to start should you really be thinking about starting a business?
