Michael Dell started a small computer business 15 years ago out of his dorm room while attending The University of Texas. Who knew that little computer business would turn out to be a $15.8 billion dollar business.
When you build a computer empire and have a net worth like Michael Dell, you can have such a home too.
The two main things you need to track when you own a website of any type are:
1) Unique visitors
2) Number of visits
Unique visitors. Unique visitors are the number of seperate visitors with different IP addresses that are coming to your site within a given time frame. The this is the bottom line most important number to track.
Number of visits. The ‘number of visits’ are the number of times your unique visitors come to your site during a given time period.
For example, If you have one unique visitor, and they come and look at your website three different times throughout the day, your website stats would look as follows for that day:
Unique visitors: 1
Number of Visits: 3
If you have two unique visitors, one visits two times during the day and the other comes back twelve times during that day, your stats would read as follows for that day:
Unique Visitors: 2
Number of Visits: 14
Understand now?
The goal for your website is to get the ‘number of visits’ to rise faster than the unique visitors. If your unique visitors number rises, the number of visits should reflect the same over a certain period, such as 30 days. If it does not, that means new people are finding your website, but they are not returning to look at new content. In other words, people don’t find your website interesting and are not coming back. But, if your unique visitor number is low, but the ‘number of visits’ is really high, that means users love your website and are returning on a regular basis to look for new content.
Keep testing and adding new content to see if you can get your number of visits to rise faster than unique visitors. If you can do that, you can build an internet empire.

Most of you may know about Tom Vu. He’s the Vietnamese immigrant who build a late night infomercial empire back in the late 1980’s. While his informercial promoting his seminars may not of worked out. The guy had a lot of valid views and opinion.
The man actually had some great quotes. Check them out.
“A lot of your friends will tell you, ‘Don’t come to the seminar. It’s a get-rich-quick plan.’ Well, tell them, It is a get-rich-quick plan—because life is too short to get rich slow.”
“Some of you have parents or grandparents who worked hard all their life and retired with almost nothing. You don’t have to be like them.”
“Don’t say someday you will do it. Someday may never come.”
“Let’s face it, how much money are you going to make sitting there at home.”
“There’s two kinds of work in America: hard work and smart work. Which one are you doing now?”
“I never forget what my grandfather told me: There are two kind of people in life: the doer and the loser. Which one are you?”
“Some people…they even afraid to learn to make millions. Why? You only live once.”
Here’s a video from the man himself..
I keep finding people who ask about Prosper.com. They want to know if it’s a good way to borrow money. I have also read articles from dumbasses recommending it as a way to make money by loaning money out on it. I don’t care what you hear, what you read or what you think.
Think about this one thing before playing on there.
FACT:
Banks and other professional lending institutions won’t loan these people any amount of money at any interest rate. That’s why they are on Prosper, and not at the bank.
If a bank won’t loan these people any money, why on earth would you?
Any schmuck with a day job and half ass credit can walk into any bank at this very moment and get a small personal loan at a decent interest rate, no problem. The fact that these people are not doing that should be a major red flag to you.
There’s nothing prosperous about Prosper.com in my opinion.
It’s a circle jerk of broke beggars, scam artists and irresponsible people preying upon greedy people who are hoping to make some easy money by loaning out money at insane interest rates.
Like they say, Hindsight is always 20/20. And nothing becomes more clear than looking back and seeing your mistakes when you start a business of any kind.

Contrary to poplular belief, you don’t need to be living the lifestyles of the rich and famous in order to own a Lamborghini. Or any other exotic car such as Bently, Ferrari, Rolls Royce. Such vehicles, viewed by most to be only for the rich is just not true. You don’t need to be wealthy to own one. -wealthstore.com
“How is this?” you ask?
Easy. Two things…
1. Buy used.
2. 144 Month financing is now mainstream on exotic car purchases.
WHOA! 144 month financing is suicide you say? Not exactly. It make great sense if you think about it for a minute.
1. It keeps payments low.
2. It frees up cash that you can invest, that would otherwise be tied up in a depreciating asset.
Is it for everyone? No. It’s a great option for those who plan to keep the car only a short while and don’t want lots of money tied up in the car. Obviously anyone choosing to go the 144 month financing route is not going to actually keep the car the full 144 months. But more like only a year or so.
Take the Lamborghini Gallardo pictured above for example. At this time you can purchase 2003 – 2004 models in great condition with low miles in the $140,000 range. If you put down $40K at an interest rate of 6.9% and 144 month financing on a car costing $140,000, your monthly payment would only be about $1,000.
That’s hardly a “rich mans” payment. Most dumpy two bedroom apartments in a bad part of town cost more than that.
