Thanks bros! I appreciate it!

What do you know that I don't about Amazon?

Google or research:

1. Federal Cloud Initiative http://www.info.apps.gov/node/2
2. SaaS (Software as a Service)
3. AWS (Amazon Web Services)
4. AWS Gov Cloud AWS GovCloud (US)

Amazon owns the federal space, and with this Initiative their services/revenue will expand the next five years by an insane amount. I'm not a stock analyst but I personally invested a healthy amount in them.

Congrats on 7 figgas nigga!

I'm not an expert either, but that info is already built into the price.

tavin · 05-11-2012, 09:10 AM

Sure but what they don't know is attach rates, exact figures, and reach.

Amazon is going to become completely synonymous with cloud in the federal space within five years.

I could be completely wrong, it's just advice. Take it or leave it. Anyone that's ever worked in the public sector as a consultant knows how the game works as well.

Not one single mention of AWS. Stocks are still mental, right?

tygoldberg · 05-11-2012, 09:26 AM

Making your first million isn't nothing. Now when you lose it and make another then I'll toast to you, chap.

wiredniko · 05-11-2012, 09:13 PM

I have to admit, I am jealous.

Can you talk about monetizing your site?

teguh123 · 05-12-2012, 09:28 AM

Congratulations. Hope I can catch up soon.

zimok · 05-12-2012, 10:36 AM

Congratulations on that achievement Tavin!

wickedDUDE · 05-12-2012, 10:44 AM

Congrats - that's awesome!

Do you invest it? If so, what does $1 million bring you per year in interest/investment income?

ShadowCaster · 05-12-2012, 11:12 AM

Whoa awesome, now you just need two more to be eligible for WF Premium membership.

OrionSyndicate · 05-12-2012, 11:41 AM

Dang, I'm just trying to get my net worth to zero.

That would be messed up if he's lying, but I BELIEVE!

Congrats.

Meatytreats · 05-12-2012, 12:06 PM

Congrats... A lot of people say I'm a millionaire becasue they have made a million... It's much different story when you can actually stroke a check for a million... A great feeling to have!!!

Rusky · 05-12-2012, 08:29 PM

Amazon will also bring you your groceries, toothpaste, and liquid butt wipes soon Home | AmazonFresh
Congrats something about that fatherly instinct to feed and shelter.

Russ86 · 05-12-2012, 09:23 PM

Wow, congrats man, I knew you were ballin' but not that ballin' ... ballin' outta control. Fucking setting the bar high.

tavin · 05-14-2012, 08:50 PM

Russ you're there soon enough

Falian · 05-14-2012, 08:55 PM

Wow! Congrats dude. I hope to be there one day. Going to grab another Fat Tire in celebration of your win.

Andrey · 05-14-2012, 09:27 PM

Very nice man! I am no where near yet, but in my mind I am almost there.

The thing most ppl don't realize is that there is no limitations. The only limitation is your mind. Think of an amount of money you think you would love to make and that would make you feel comfortable and secure. Then multiply that number by 10. That should be your goal. And don't give your self a fucking long time to get there either.

But what do I know, I am just a peasant selling links in BST. =))))

igl00 · 05-14-2012, 09:44 PM

million vs what period of time?!

Just remember that you're already better off than 80%+ of the planet.

Wow man, that is pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing your story and a few tips. I know all of us here want to be like you one day!

KeyserSoze · 05-14-2012, 10:04 PM

Motivational for sure. I just told my GF about this post telling her, "This is why I bust my balls 24/7/365". You're the man, good luck with the second one!

MaxGoro · 05-15-2012, 10:19 AM

Cool!

Congratulations

PerkBMG22 · 05-15-2012, 05:15 PM

AMZN closed today at $224.39 a share. In March you could have picked it up for $180 a share. AMZN has been one of the only tech stocks to show a consistent growth rate since 2008 after the market crashed when it was going for $40+- a share. Any company that is proactive and not reactive and create multiple business/revenue models like Amazon has is definitely a keeper.

diandr4 · 05-15-2012, 07:53 PM

done already? i thought it will be 10 or 50 years more...

JCash · 05-15-2012, 08:30 PM

Very curious about the "guerilla's lifestyle" comment also.....

tavin · 05-24-2012, 11:21 AM

Looks like someone is finally getting it...

Amazon: Can The Good Times Last? - Forbes

Quote:

Some of that growth is from a tiny base, such as Amazon’s widely used but still small Amazon Web Services business. Revenue in Amazon’s “other” category, which includes AWS, rose 61% in the quarter ended March 31 to $500 million, meaning it is on track to being a $2 billion business this year and the fastest-growing unit at the company. Customers include Netflix, NASA, ESPN and reddit. In a presentation to investors last year, Amazon charted the rise of its s3 service for developers of web services: software objects stored on Amazon’s servers rose to 262 billion from 2.9 billion. If cloud computing is the next big thing, Amazon’s servers may well be the ones that deliver it.

Like I said before.. SaaS and AWS.. Amazon stock will go to $600 + in the next 5 years.

Stover · 05-24-2012, 02:38 PM

can you spot me five bucks???

w3btools · 05-25-2012, 01:16 AM

Gongrats bro! The 1st is always the sweetest

ScottDaMan · 05-25-2012, 02:17 AM

Nice man. I'd like a lengthy post by you in the future with more (but limited) detail. Anything not in SEO has my full interest.

Louey37 · 05-25-2012, 02:26 AM

Inspirational. Well done.

It's amazing what having something worth fighting for can do to your life.

bamscap · 05-25-2012, 12:26 PM
