I agree Richard, but whether it’s legitimate or not, it still happens. I have a great SEO article coming up shortly so keep posted :)

Yes, I’ve updated the subscribe to comments to allow people to subscribe now..

Chris, I think you should continue to blow all the “secret” niche ways to make money online.

Personally I don’t think anyone has legitimate rights to criticise you for doing this, because Freedom of Speech is an overriding right.

I think people are moaning about thread spam because your non-standard implementation automatically subscribes people to thread updates, rather than allowing them to choose what updates they receive.

Hi Wezz, yes, I’ve taken the advice and requests to heart and added the checkbox at the bottom, which does look rather silly at the moment, but I will have some text next to it explaining the process, etc.

Ye Wezz, look, I do feel a bit bad for exposing the niche, even though I don’t think it was a complete niche. All in all, I still stand strongly on educating, but I’m just going to, perhaps, consider more angles before publishing something, which could potentially affect someone in the local sphere :)

Thanks for the comment!

I’ve been meaning to comment on a number of your posts Chris but like the seo “gurus” I’m slightly put off by the auto subscribe feature. I see you’ve added a non descriptive check box, hopefully it works if I uncheck it.

Anyways, I’m with you on the tips you gave & as @Wogan mentioned it’s one niche – it’s not like you gave every single secret away about the whole damn industry.

I still think the “inner-circle gurus” are getting way too touchy about this. It’s one niche, dammit. It’s not as if your reputations are at stake if you lose a few dollars over the next month. He who dies with the most toys is still dead ;)

Some of us are missing the point? It would appear that EVERYONE missed the point, because everyone seems to be in agreement with me, even Rex the lion!

I educated the masses and gave them a test project to work on, simple as that. I’m going for it in the background? Really?

All I said was that Jeremy made his living off educating people, it was as simple as that :)

Auto subscribe.. LOL, that’s a different discussion all together, let’s not let that cloud this conversation.

Some of you are missing the point here -

Educating newbies on how to spot niches and what tools/strategies to use to exploit those niches is great and should have been the bases of iMod’s post

Its a whole different story when you actually spill the beans on a new niche because “you’re to busy to go for it” (but you actually are going for it in the background) which is wrong.

You mention Jeremy Shoemaker (shoemoney) Chris – I have been reading his blog for years and he has never exposed a profitable niche not before exploiting it for a few months and then to only later showing his readers how he did it ..etc

ps – The auto subscribe comment plugin is fucking irritating.

Kiss and make up, no ways, this stuff brings traffic ;)

Unsubscribe, I need to think about this, anyone who knows what’s happening can easily unsubscribe, but a lot of my readers forget to follow posts and the reminder is a good one. Nipple post.. hahahhaha, that just made my night!

Anyway, you did a good job at killing this thread dear :/

Sheesh, time to kiss and make up guys – this drama is getting old now, lol.

On the subscribe to comments thing, that unsubscribe option is almost impossible to use as you have to try and sift through pages of posts to click off and can’t do a general click off for all posts. I agree that a plugin allowing readers to choose to subscribe or not would be a good move. If I want to watch a post, then I will get follow ups, but I am still deleting comment notifications from Paris Hilton’s nipple post which is just downright annoying.

I totally agree! Rafiq and I have chatted about all of this, we’ve laughed, we’ve discussed it, baiting and flaming is the basis to any blog which is going to get noticed!

I agree, these “inner circles” are non-existent!
