Wow there's some great posts in there if you can sift through the useless retards (you know who you are).
My (new but rapidly being reinforced) philosophy is that you won't be truly successful unless you're doing something that provides REAL value for lots of people.
Rebills, useless diet products, flash-in-the-pan products, arbitrage, etc sure as shit doesn't fit in there.
I've had great successes doing scammy shit. Phenomenal successes, in fact. But guess what...It never lasts. Actually, that sort of stuff usually even ends up with some major karma bitch-slapping later (lawsuits, ftc investigations, stress, black suits at your door, sad emails, etc).
But the projects that I've put together by just saying "Hey this is a cool idea, lots of people will like this. I'm going to take some time and make this really good." have stuck around for years and still make auto-pilot money.
I've learned my lesson. 100% of my energy is now going towards providing value. No exceptions.
