Mike South punks out Joanna Angel

[KevinG]

In general, I agree with Hammer.

A newbie would be best advised to work on learning how to run a web site, get traffic to it, and then send that traffic out to money making destinations.

In this specific case though, the context of Joanna's advise was based on someone already deciding they wanted to have a pay site and that they had $100,000 to invest.

Now I have to go generate a gazillion, bazillion, trillion, million hits. Anyone know where I can buy some Chinese traffic?

I was at Cybernet and attended the Newbie 101 and Solo Girl Sites seminars. I think the crux of this whole issue is that Joanna's content comment was given without any preface that it only applied to someone in a similar situation to her own. For the remaining 90%+ it would actually be bad advice.

Making such a statement without first making it quite clear that it only applies under very specific circumstances was just a little bit irresponsible.

Ok, but please allow me to correct a little detail.

The main comment being discussed here is regarding the content vs. traffic issue. She made that comment while sitting in the audience of the newbie seminar, not while she was on the solo girl panel.

The comment mentioned from the solo girl panel was regarding how many hits her web site gets.

Not that it really matters. I am just a detail oriented person and felt like pointing that out.

Edit: I think you changed your original post to include Newbie 101 while I was typing this. Either that, or I am not as detail oriented as I thought. LOL!
