The easiest way to get my attention is to leave a comment on my site. All comments are emailed to me, even on old posts.
My contact info is located on my original website: Neville Medhora.
It would be easier to just give you my contact information here, but I want make you hunt for it.
You want to make great $ in a short time. Buy a cheap truck ($1,500) and rent an areator. Hit the best neighborhoods in the city and go door to door saying that you’re in the neighborhood and if they’ll like their lawn areated. Charge $30 and also say you’ll fertilize it for another $20. Buy a Scotts spreader for about $30 to do the fertilizing. Buy the fertilizer at Costco or Home Depot. Easily do 2-3 yards in a few hours and up to 10 in a day for some serious $. In a few months buy an areator and you have a business. Also, make a page of important facts on why it’s important to areat and fertilize lawns that you can leave with the home owners, even if they don’t use your service. Keep address’ of customers in a binder and tell customers you’ll see them in 6 months. Repeat business is the name of the game.
Hi Neville. Great blog. If you learn to trade futures you can have a job for the rest of your life. I can show you via my blog how to identify good risk to reward trade setups. I invite you to visit my blog and give me your feedback.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Neville, I was wondering how did you make the layout of your blog do what it’s doing?

Neville, great site. Just wondering if you ever deal with how to get out of debt? Just read a great book that deals with the negative side of money; trying to get out of the red! Check it out. younganddebtfree.com.
The author Nana is from Ghana, she’s a young entrepreneur, and her book has some great tips.
Great blog Neville,
We are similar in age and goals. I’m going to do this for a living and made a blog to track my progress last week. Check it out:
http://grosscapital.blog.com/241282/
Hey man, nice blog. Started a simmilar site recently (www.roadtorich.com) and it looks like we’re in the same mindset. Keep up the great work. Added your site to my blogroll since I think people at my site would be pretty interested in yours.
Hi Neville,
I found your blog looking at which blogs were linking to Kirk Report (I was looking for other places similar to Kirk’s).
I’m a stock investor & recently options investor, and your site is right on a topic I was looking to tackle recently, finding some other $$ sources.
I have a full time job (as a web & software programmer). I have two goals in investing, one is to build enough wealth for when I retire (my RRSP), and the other is to have an additional source of income (my bonus money as I like to think of it). My long term goal would be to become completely financially independent. My dream is to build my own music studio, I was once a musician full-time before :p.
So I have about 10000$ in that bonus account and every trade that I do that brings me over that ammount I transfer it to my spending account as a bonus :) If I’m under that ammount I’m in the penalty box and cannot withdraw any. Recently I was lucky and profited a lot from the OIL bull :) I’m not a day trader, more like a swing trader.
Anyways, thanks for your blog, I’m also building my own along with a friend (in french tho, I’m from quebec canada, french speaking :p), I will definitely watch what kind of ideas you come up with! Btw, what kind of online business you have? I’m looking to build something myself very soon. Another guy who seems to have great ideas about how to make money online (he has a book on it), http://www.jasonkelly.com/index.html.
See ya!

Sincerely, best of luck on your achieving your goals. That is awesome that you have already set such a clear target for yourself – as long as you are flexible and innovative along the way, I’m sure you’ll get there.
Nev! I am so excited to have found your blog b/c it is really inspiring to me! Thanks and keep up the good work!
If you can raise 1,500,000 I have an idea that can make you a multimillionaire.
Hello, Neville. I like your drive towards self-improvement. I have been making some progress myself in saving money from my normal salary, investements and recently auctions. What I would love to know is how you created that register tool on the right side. I’m guessing it was hand-written. In any case, can you enlighten me? Thanks.
David
hi,
Nice weblog!
There is one thing I was wondering though.. you are all about making money and so on, but why don’t you have any advertisement on this site like AdSense? Im getting some steady monthly income from those sources which I then invest in the stock market (see my just launched blog: http://www.stock-diary.blogspot.com)
was just wondering ;)
keep up the good work.. kind regards,
Hey Neville,
Care to swap links?
Let me know. As you indicated, this is the best way to reach you.
Cheers.

Hi Neville,
Great to see someone actually doing something genuinely entrepreneurial and sharing what happens with everyone else. I am blogging about various kinds of entrepreneurial activity on the internet and will be posting about some of your ventures soon!
BREAKING NEWS: OFF TOPIC (sorry):
This is Monty Loree from Financial Maturity Blog
BREAKING NEWS RE: credit bureaus Experian, Equifax and TransUnion are working together with regards to the Hurricane Katrina Crisis
SEE: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion working together.
I thought that I would keep you updated so that you might inform your readers.
POINTS:
I spoke with Don Girard, the media manager for Experian just a few minutes ago.
He mentioned that he’s going to have an official press release mid next week.
He mentioned that the scope of the problem was actually four states, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
The big three credit bureaus Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion have a huge task but are working together as a ‘single unit’ to help the Hurricane Katrina crisis victims. I’m not sure if this is unprecedented or not.
Anyway, my post has more details of the conversation between myself and Don Girard of Experian.
There hasn’t been an official press release yet, so this is before hand news.

Hey Nev,
Great blog! Your entrepreneurial skills and drive is amazing, man. If you need an associate in the DC area do feel free to drop me a line at meinhaj’at’cox.net
Nev,
Love your ambition and drive. It makes me want to get up and put pen to paper on some of my ideas.
However, I was wondering, in all your projects (selling water, lotter tickets, etc) time is never accounted for. A profit of $2 made here and there is great but the investment of time is never accounted for.
Even if working for minimum wage, all the endeavors will leave you in the red. Man hours is always considered an expediture.
Thanks

This looks like a very interesting BLOG, I can’t wait to read it through carefully.
hey neville,
quick question… do you have a link for an rss feed of your blog? am wondering how i can add it to the new personalized google home page…
thanks.
Hi Nev
I think it is a good idea to charge for advertising space (afterall you are a celebrity now). Is this just a one time charge?? Seems like a waste though when you could easily charge a small monthly fee…
Hey Neville! Great Blog. I appreciate what you’re going through, as I also struggled to build my worth. I will follow your progress, and hope you find your fortune sooner, rather then later.
I started investing in real estate a few years back, and it was a great way to build my net worth. My experiences with real estate inspired me to create a website to educate others, much like yourself in the ways of real estate. The site is all about helping people out without trying to sell them programs, courses, books, etc. I don’t want to hawk anything. I just want to educate. Stop by. I’m sure we can help to teach you a few things about real estate. The site is called BiggerPockets.com Real Estate Investing Community.
I’ll be back to check in on you! Hope to see you around BP!

Please feel free to contact me
Hey Nev,
I was wondering what brokerage you use for your stock portfolio. I couldnt seem to find it in your blog.
Nev,
I read your cute blog several days ago. I enjoyed how you keep looking for ways to make money. I was looking for your blog today & searched for “Nev blog” and this link popped up http://www.mostexpensivepixel.com . Is that your site? I thought it was a great idea!
Lisa
P.S. You’re also very cute! ;)
Sorry, I got the url wrong. It’s http://www.mostexpensivepixelontheinternet.com

Do you know of a Finance Blog Group? I would like to look into some if anyone knows of any…
Hi Neville. You have a very insightful blog. I created a website geared towards personal finance. My site is designed to track prices at Amazon. Amazon has a policy that if the price drops within 30 day, they will refund you the difference – only if you ask!
My website: Amazon Price Watch
Just found your blog today. You’re inspirational and enjoyable to read! Keep up the good work and don’t become greedy. The sky is the limit!
Neville,
I’ve decided to create a blogger page after seeing what you have done. I’m sure you’ve inspired many other’s and myself into the world of financial freedom. Question: of the multiple saving accounts you have, did you open them through your local bank? Not talking about the Roth/Investment accounts, just general, saving, rainy day, spending accounts. Thanks
higa27
Neville,
How does opening online accounts with EmigrantDirect and INGDirect sound? They offer great rates but I’ve heard their customer service can be weak sometimes?
please confirm, is the ppcappraisal thing for real ? i’ve read its a scam, but others have said it is not a scam.
have you actually been paid (earned) from the ppcappraisal project ?
i’m like many others, i’m trying to find the good and honest sites and programs so to help other honest people earn from todays technologies.
my major quest:
wouldn’t it be great if everyone could be paid fair compensation for “valuable” ideas !? And rid spam at the same time.

Nev,
One of my friends is trying to get me into an e-commerce biz. It suppose to be affliated w/ Quixtar. What’s your take on e-commerce? Its a biz, where you depend on 5-20 loyal customers to buy through you for you to get a percentage from that company. I’m positive you’re familar with this already. Any comments will be helpful. Oh, and the catch, its $40 a month to service the site :0
Hey Neville,
I’m addicted to your blog.
Just wondering why you have not written about your next personal business? I see you have marked it off your to do list and have already had a sale.
Bob
Hi N,
I found yr site a few months ago & have been very inspired by yr activities. I check-in regularly to pick up tips but am still a little stuck.
I’m an up & coming entrepeneur..Iv been running my biz paragonproductions.net(not my full time job) for over 8 years but have nowhere near reached the potential or success I dream of.
My biz has massive potential as I promote over 170 artists but Im having probs getting my site the way I want it & bringing in an income(elusive web designers!!) I canupdate a few of the pages myself & the rest is down to my designer.
Iv been trying to set up my own store to sell my artists music following yr posts about free e-commerce sites but can’t get oscommerce working for me… Iv even thought about starting a new site from scratch..Im jus not sure where to start…theres soooo much info on the net!
Id like some more guidance on how to set-up oscommerce & also any advice or ideas u can give me for my site… Iv even offered web designers a % of profits if they can help me get my site running the way Id like…no takers so far.
Id just like to say keep doing what yr doing & hope I can learn more from yr activities, advice & learnings.
All the best,
Hi nev :)
I like your ideas, here’s something interesting for you.
http://www.parallelgovernment.blogspot.com/
I found your blog a while ago. Been following it for a while. Decided to drop a note.
It’s interesting to see your perspective on Michael Dell and other CEOs. Within the company, they’re pretty much invisible. So, it’s an interesting thing to see what the public (you) sees versus what the insiders see. This is not a criticism of the CEOs – they have a different job than those who operate the day-to-day goings-on.
As a result, I think you need to pay attention more to the operations than the CEOs if you want to learn more about business. The people who are creating value for the company usually do not have time to give speeches.
Hi Neville.
Your blog really inspires me and was hoping you could give me some advice.
I want to start online business and was wondering if I should incoporate.
And if so, which type of corporation should I file for (S-Corp, LLC…)?
Thank you
Hello,
You have many great (and viable) business ideas. Could you recommend a drop-shipper? (HoR).

Hey Nev,
Just found your blog and I think that it’s GREAT! You’re doing a fine job sharing your stories with the world and I thik that your blog would make an excellent addition to the Mind Petals Entrepreneur Blog Network! Our readers can definitely benefit from your content; you’ll also be able to expand your networking circle.
Hope to hear back from you,
David Askaripour
Founder of Mind Petals
david@cashcampus.com
Hi Nev,
I really like Mind Petals but when we were making http://yeblogger.com/ we decided that the public is probably a better judge of what is and what isn’t a quality entrepreneurship blog.
So, yeblogger is a bit different from mind petals because we include all of the world’s young entrepreneur blogs to include everybody and give readers more choice.
If you’d like to, subscribe to http://feeds.feedburner.com/YeCommunityFeed. It’s a community feed which broadcasts all blog posts written by all young entrepreneurs in the world, so don’t have to subscribe to hundreds of individual feeds and you’re always sure not to miss out on what everyone’s talking about.
I’d love some feedback about what we’re doing.

I like the idea of aeration this was one of the ideas suggested by stewart kime. I have done the curb painting and found it profitable. This is a great web site. I have seen just about every business idea, or bought every book. Check out this download http://sowpub.net/files/harveybrody.rtf by veteran marketer.

I like your blog a lot. Would you be willing to post my link on your site in exchange for me posting your link on my site?
In response to your request for books/reading material – here are two that you may or may not have come across:
One of the best … well… big picture-focused blogs out there is The Big Picture.
A great primer/introduction to investing is:
A Random Walk Down Wall Street.
I am in the process of creating a few businesses but i am having trouble with organization with physical “real” paper” documents.” Do you have an organizational system for paperwork for your business that you would like to share? Also, please add a search feature to your blog. Keep it up!
Neville, everybody is wondering when you’ll be back and post again.

Saw your article about Live Chat Software and I really think you should try Live Chat solution from LIVECHAT! It’s better than soft you mentioned, it’s still being developed and new functionalities and ideas are being added all the time. Try it!
Hi Neville,
My colleagues and I just launched a website, debtfolio.com and we’re trying to get the word out to the financial blogger community. Our site is in alpha and offers credit card analysis, and pay down simulations utilizing a very web2.0ish interface that’s fun and easy to use. We would love for you to check it out and tell us what you think.
Thanks,

Hi Neville,
Nice blog & a fun read. I am in Eastern Europe now on vacation – I am a financial advisor from Arizona. Just wanted to tell you your doing a nice job on your site. Thanks!
Hi Neville, happened to log on ur blog, while looking for some finance content.
I am truly amazed by ur systamatic approach in life, to make impact.I admire yr clarity.
Hey Neville, I started reading your blog not too long ago. I am pretty curious about your HouseOfRave business. Is it like a dropship business? Since you don’t manage your inventory. I am quite entrepreneurial myself and would like to give a e-com business like that a shot.

What do you think of http://www.destroythispage.com
This internet project has just started on February, 09, 2007 and have already made about 15000 steps to its death! All it’s visitors are simply offered to destroy the page http://www.destroythispage.com. Moreover, any visit means that the next step to the project’s end have been done.
You can also try to bring in the contribution to the projects destruction (or, may be, on the contrary, to its promotion). Though, want you or not, this project will be destroyed anyway. Because its self-destruction is its basic purpose. It depends only on visit’s amount how long it exists. The more visits – the less time left for the project.
But to the other hand, the more visits – the more advertising. Probably, the next Alex Tew followers (with his http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com) assume to earn 100 billion dollars. In fact, as they say, if you find a way to make 100 thousand people look at an empty sheet of paper every day, then you have a good business.
Project’s authors promise to save the page if one of us really convince them that they should do it.
I think by now this is the craziest business idea in the world?
Make some fun, in fact, to break is not to build! And sometimes to destroy something created by another man is so pleasantly and even can take off the stress!
I love the blog Neville. Long time reader. I’m in Austin for SXSW on the 9-13th any suggestion on what I should see or do? Congrats on the new house. I look forward to your post on how you pay for it. :) – joelprice.com/blog
Took me about 5 days to get reindexed at JoshGreene.com.
and I have a PR4 website.
This was a glitch that hit a lot of people, I have a blog post on it.
No way to comment on individual posts? Is that from the conversion as well?
hey budd,
i think when you say “profit” you really mean sales (and or revenue)
is that correct?
i was reading some of your 2005 posts and you said you were making about $1,000 bottom line, but now you’re making $5,000????
to make a 5,000 profit you’d have to sell about $10,000 a month… are you?
regards,
Hello Neville,
I am the CEO of On Track M*Power. We have just launched a free online personal budget software program that has been in development for nearly 3-years and I am seeking feedback. There are no gimmicks. This is totally free. I think it is different than anything else out there in that it allows the user to create an action plan that shows him or her how to manage money in a way that achieves his or her goals and the plan is integrated into the Budget Software to make it automatic. The user can then manage bills, transactions, calendar, etc. We also make coaches available to help if needed.
I think the product is easy to use but I really need users to verify this for me and give me opinions as to how I can make it better.
I welcome you to use it yourself and you can tell me the next step if you find it valuable.
Although I call this a budget product, in reality, I use a money management approach that I developed called the Financial Life System. This system helps people manage their money in a way that does not involve traditional micro managing and spending logs. My “Financial Life System” book is being printed and will be released in April.
Once again, I am trying to get as much feedback as possible. Please go to http://www.OnTrackMPower.com if you are interested.
Thank you

Hey, great blog and your e commerce sites seem great. I too am interested in e commerce and am wondering what platform you’re using to build the sites like Oscommerce or if you just build them from scratch.
Also I am wondering if you are basically dropshiping the products on your site and how you came to that agreement with the wholesalers.
My emails michaelplaterII@gmail.com and my site is michaelplaterII.com

Hello Neville, I would like to discuss the H20 experiment with you. I have an angle on really amping up this type of business and creating a substantial profit. $$$$$$$$ Rich…………..rikofreak@hotmail.com
hello i am a chinese student and actually i do like your blog.
after reading your trip to china,i do hope you enjoy yourself here.
firstly, maybe i could answer your question:”I’m not sure why they had fire extinguishers in the middle of a giant concrete square”
because months ago someone try to fire the picture of chairman Mao. so it is understandable that they put fire extinguishers in the square.
secondly, you said rare chinese speak english. i agree. education system of china is out but no one try to “update” it. most students here just know how to handle the test in english but do not know how to communicate in english. i am now studying in macau, a city which government by portugal and was returned to china in 1999. after being here, i find that eduction system is totally different between china and foreign country. maybe it will be fine.i hope so. chinese are not stupid, but sometines they(we) use knowledge in wrong places.such as the fake stuff.
anyway,i would like to know how you can go back to US with the fake stuff because i heard a news before, an american bought some fake watches from china and then, was seized by police of american when he go back to US.
Great Wall, it is part of chinese culture. we chinese sometimes consider things that “the older, the better”.
i am glad to know what you foreigner thinking about china.
after reading your trip, i do learn something in it.
my english is not so good, hope you can understand my words.^^
and i am also starting my business experiment after reading your post.it is great.
and my e-mail, if you are interest in:
lingluoshaneshane@msn.com
Hey Neville,
I was just curious as to what resources you have found to be reliable and good for finding the wholesalers and dropshippers that you use for your ecommerce sites.
Hit me back with an email when you can!

So your site is geared towards making money, but I would like to point out the importance of the other side of the equation – your costs. By lowering your utilities costs, you are saving money and at the same time helping the current global warming problem. I wrote an article on how to save money here: http://www.missionenvironment.com/savemoney.html
By the way, great blog with great ideas. You motivated me to start my own blog, and it will be up soon. Keep up the good work!

I just happened upon your blog and want to see if you’d be interested in a freelance blogging opportunity. This is for a new website on finance for young adults.
Let me know if you’re interested and I will forward you the details of the site, our compensation schedule, and our style/submission guidelines.
Our site launches on July 31 so let me know in the next few days so we can continue to fill out our blogroll.

Hi Neville
I was reading your Toys Toys Toys post and was wondering what kind of Tripod you bought. I am looking for one for my Canon 30D DSLR and $80 is about what I want to spend. Thanks!
Hey Neville,
Just wanted to tell you that I wish I knew more people like you. There is such a shortage of good mentors especially when it comes to entrepreneurship. I am a 22-year old Russian female currently residing in sunny San Diego. In my culture, entrepreneurship is the norm and is highly respected (provided you are successful). All my life I thought I would need to go to either law school or medical school to make real money. Only recently did I realize that working for yourself is actually the most rewarding alternative. I work in a biopharmaceutical company full-time and would love to be able to run multiple side businesses. You are a busy man and clearly know how to use your time wisely, but I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions. First of all, how do you get exposure for your blog and company websites? Also, do you design your own websites or pay someone to do it? How do you find reliable wholesalers and drop-shippers? Keep up the good work!
Hi Neville, great blog. I found it searching Goolge for finance blog and your’s came up high in the search results. I am 22 now with a similar mindset to yours. How come you don’t have an ‘RSS’ link on your home page? It would be easy for me to see your site everyday and you might even attract some more readers.

I would like to know if you have permission of it.
Waiting for your reply.

If you (or anyone reading this) get a moment, please check out http://www.letsgetahead.com and let me know what I can do to improve. I’m having a terrible time figuring out how to make plugins work and Google doesn’t even know I exist yet! HELP!

Great Blog, I stumbled across it looking for pictures of Dubai. I also have similar goals and track them daily, but not online. Just in excel. Good luck with the housing market. Even if the market is in a lull, if you are buying to be owner occupied for at least two years I think you will still be finacially ahead. Take Care,
Hi, Nev. I have been reading your blog so much until i feel like i know you. I’m not looking for a get rich quick scheme at all but i do need a way to make some money and i was wondering if you could e-mail me and give me some information on how to get started on a store like your HouseofRave.com store. My e-mail address is Gelizzy88@yahoo.com. I look forward to your advice. Thank you
Neville,
As a young person myself, I am enthralled when I find the blog or listing of another young entrepreneurial individual with a constant eye out for the next big thing.
I have a couple ideas in the works (at least on paper) as I am also constantly brainstorming.
Investing and personal finance are my current areas of focus, and I guess I’m just sick and tired of hearing about get rich quick schemes. If a current method of picking the next great stock is time tested, why would someone want to share it with the rest of the world? Ahh….exactly my point, it’s a self-defeating revelation.
I am a firm believer that education is the road to success for many of our high school and college students today when dealing with personal finance. As a business major myself, why are personal finance classes offered as electives only? Why do we learn about science and math, with little application to real world decisions?
I feel there are three huge decisions people make in their lives that they really have no idea how to approach:
(1) getting married
(2) buying a home
(3) investing for the long term
Anyway, enough rambling from me, keep up the great work. Later!
Hi Neville,
Good Job. I am a working professional and I spend my spare time trying to figure out best way to make intellegent investment decisions. I have developed a website that incorporates all important investing principles followed by two of the greatest investors of our times: Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch.
Check it out at http://www.stock-tock.com.
It also has a free investment calculator to help you determine if an investment is good or not. Hope you find the site useful for your purposes.
Looking forward to your comments on the website.

Great blog, I stumbled upon it right after I created my blog (which was maybe 3 days ago). Anyways I’m tracking my own financial/personal progress with a sort of experiment an old professor of mine proposed for me, milliondollartwentysomething.com. I invite you to take a look and let me know what you think, you certainly seem like you have your stuff together. (by the way its pretty bare bones, but the premise is there. any tips for improvements are always welcome!)
I’m preparing to setup a site reseller goods using a drop shipper but I’m having problems locating a drop shipper.
Any suggestions? There are many people offering wholesaller lists, but I’m afraid many are scams.
Thanks,
Hi Nev!
On the fan side, I have been following your blog since the first months of you actually publishing. I also have taken a look at all your sites thru the times and I can tell you, you got the mojo going.
On the , why I am writing this, side.
I am the president of a massive collaboration initiative for the Organics market located at http://www.BigOrganicNetwork.com
On the business side, we are building the biggest Organic store ever built in the universe. We have a collection of over 100 organic merchants, and so we will build our own Organic superstore. We will also have a multi level affiliate program built out of that. I know that you know what I am talking about. The biggest Organic mall on the planet, with an affiliate program.
On the e-learning side, we will add thousands upon thousands of RSS feeds thruout our forum in FEEDS board.
All those feeds are going to be creating content and advertising for us in all the major search engines.
We are building a university.
We are designing also a Communities project where we go in communities and install organic services all over the place.
On top of publishing a massive amount of information, surrounded by Organic ads, and having the biggest electronic OR physical mall of Organics, the largest list of Organic products on earth.
We have extreme potential to do good. To dominate the Organics niche.
I know that you know what Organics are.
We are the Organics Wikipedia, or Google.
We have had a few discussions me and my fellow team mates.
We want YOU to be part of our team.
Not an employee, a team member.
I want to get ahold of you. Please let me know how we can meet and chat about all of this.
My MSN is pneumaticmuffin@hotmail.com
My Skype is

Hey Nev, I am about to do the same idea of water selling in Ireland. I have plans to get good lucking women to sell bottled water on our roads. I have also checked with the Police, there are no problems there either. The weather is not that hot over here but muggy at times so i hope it works. Any advice.
Thanks

Hey Nev, I really envy your Financial awareness at such a young age. Happy birthday by the way. I’m 21 and I just recently started a blog. I like the way you write, and I was wondering if you could maybe mentor, or tutor me if you will. I look forward to hearing from you!

My step dad taught me that there are hundread of ways to make money. So I try to make money on the side as much as I can. I have my own small resale side business that I do at swap meets and yard sales.
I met people who go dumpster diving in the rich homes in Hollywood Hills and resell the stuff at swap meets and yard sales. You’d be surprized at how much you can make off of junk.
I got my kids into making money too. They made about $40 bucks putting up a lemonade stand in front of our house and I got them to make about $150 bucks at Christmas selling Mistletoe for their video game system because I dont like video games. I cant afford it and I prefer them to make money on their own for what they want.
People love kids and when they see them trying to make money and earn things on their own.
Hello!
You have a great blog and interesting articles about your experiments, also I like that you have opened to others I can see you have lots of fans and a lot of people reads you.
I also start doing my own blog and web site to make some money. I’m training myself through the TDC (Thirty Day Challenge) and it’s been great and they teach you a lot of stuff especially if you are a beginner like me.
So I wanted to ask you about your web site, you do any researches for your sites (like for monkey site) when you get the Idea or someone else do it for you? How do you know that this is a good niche? Through which company do you sell your products, are this company like ebay, amazon and you have just affiliate program or something else?
I know I have a lot of qestions but I don’t know a lot about this stuff and any information is more than welcome.

Hi Neville, fascinating work on the homeless experiment. I just did a quick write up and linked to your site.
Thanks,
Jude Galligan
Downtown Austin Blog
HI, I just came across your site and enjoy reading about your ideas and entreprenurship. Could you supply more info on how your corp. is set up. Did you use a lawyer or a website/doit yourself? How do you have your accounting set up? How your various entities tie together. Thanks!
Have you thought about how different your experience with homelessness would be if it actually was your situation and not just a 1 week adventure? Where would you store your sleeping bag while looking for work and after you have obtained work? How would you maintain a presentable appearance and work uniform while living under a bridge? How would you get to and from work?
Can you atleast empathize with the fact that working while homeless in order to save up enough money to secure permanent housing is a very challenging proposition?
"Get a job you bum" is a whole lot easier said than done.
Hi Neville,
I have just visited your site and am writing to try and arrange a quick discussion on the information you currently show as I recognize synergies between our respective websites and an opportunity we can both benefit from.
My name is James Stafford and I run the website OilPrice.com, where we focus on finance within the commodity sectors and after having researched your various pages I wanted to make you aware that we welcome blogs such as yours to publish (at no cost) our Energy & Commodity Price Charts, Quotes and Data Panels, which cover: Crude Oil, Gold, Silver, Natural Gas, etc…
Please take a look at http://www.oilprice.com/charts.php to see what is available.
I realise your site may not be directly related to the commodity markets, but because of the topics you cover and the readership you have I thought you may find the financial markets & commodity prices useful.
We have only recently launched which is why you may not have heard of us, but I would like to clarify that the information is very well presented and doesn’t carry adverts or anything else that would impair the quality for your visitors.
Our development team have also looked over your site and believe all the price formats we offer would be a great fit.
Hopefully you’ll get a chance to take a look at what we do and agree that our free data greatly complements your site and would also be of use to your visitors.
Should you have any questions or would like to discuss what we’re offering please do get in touch.
Yours Sincerely,
James Stafford
Managing Director

Nev,
I have been a dedicated follower for sometime, via Google Reader. I am sure that you have already been told this, but I did not know you made the move to WP. It looked like you hadn’t updated since affiliate # 7. I just happened to actually go to your site for some research for my own blog, theblaug.com, and realized you had moved. I hope you don’t lose any followers because of that.

Neville,
Hey. Fun blog! I’m over 50, but also working on the 6-pack abs. Have taken off 30 pounds – about 20 pounds to go. Here’s something that might be of interest to you and your readers.
With graduation season upon us, many of your readers will be looking for advice for grads and books to recommend and give as gifts to grads.
Would you be interested in reviewing an award-winning personal finance book that’s getting great reviews? It’s geared to young people, ages 16-30, is well researched and documented, but in story form. A film producer called it “the money book for people who hate money books.”
It’s called Enjoy Your Money! How to Make It, Save It, Invest It and Give It. You can see info about it on Amazon or here:
http://wisdomcreekpress.com/press_kits.html
To save you time, I could send a suggested review, geared to the readers of your site, which you could edit and make your own. Just send me an address if you want a free copy. If you do giveaways, I could send an extra copy.
Thanks again for your blog!
Neville,
I found your blog last night around 8 pm. I have to admit, I read until 1:30 am and here I am at work reading some more.
Amazing stuff! I love it all. From your diet secrets to the way you brokedown the system of dropshipping, I really appreciate the info and I love the way you make everything sound so doable. I woke up today so enthused to be alive! I think it had to do with reading your blog.
I am looking forward to what you are going to post in the future.
Highest regards,
Josh
WOW! Glad my blog had such an impact! Thanks for sharing, makes all the effort worth it :-)
Hi Neville,
I’m putting together a multimedia presentation for continuing ed. purposes and need a coffee shop picture (large) to illustrate with captions. If this is your permission I’d like your permission to use it, with credit.

ta if you can help
Sure, just make sure to give credit. Good luck!
Neville,
Way to freak out Pittsburgh! From what I saw on youtube you were a lead story. Brad sent me a link today and I spent half my work day reading about your most recent exploits. I didn’t think you would surprise me again after the homeless experiment, but you might have outdone yourself. Great job, and by the way…I loved the quote “we underestimated the severity of the situation” – or something like that.
Hey Nev,
Love your blog…I was wandering if you had any thoughts on my situation? I have a line of T shirts that I sell to waiters and waitresses all over the country (mostly Dallas area). I have sold thousands of them in person. I walk right into the restaurant at the end of the night. I do have a site (86BadTips) but it seems like people prefer to try them on first. I would love to get sales people like me in other cities and let them move them. I am having trouble finding the motivated people who would be willing to do the uncomfortable. Any advice would help.
Jason
