I'm guessing when I and many others around my age die we'll have lived about half our lives with the Internet and half without.

People about my age (60)...and everyone else, which time do you think was better BI or AI?

I've heard good arguments for and against luck being involved in a person's sucess. I think a lot depends on how we define "luck". For me, luck is the random results of events we have no contol over.

I generally agree that those that work hard put them in more positions to to "get lucky" and many earn their "luck". On the other hand I believe there are random events that can overcome hard work, intelligence, wisdom, etc. And I believe that with everything else being equal, some will have better results than others.

For an example of luck, take a look at the coronaivirus scare that is starting at the time I'm writing this post. It's hurting the sales of Corona beer as some people think the two are connected. Corona had no control over this situation.

Coronavirus/Corona beer Reminds me a a "diet candy" sold in the US in the early 80s and earlier called Ayds. It didn't work out too well for them and they took the product off the market. Through no fault of their own their product was basically killed.

"Lose weight deliciously with the aid of Ayds."

And since I believe in bad luck I also believe in good luck. There are also good things that happen to people that are beyond their control.

What do you think? Do you believe luck plays a factor in business?

I tried amazon web but they are to complicated and expensive to host big downloasd. it seems to me its a better deal just to get cheap hosting with unlimited bandwidth. what do you use to host big downloads?

Do you have any marketing advice that was inspired from something else? For example, in poker there's a concept that the larger your bankroll is, the more you should protect it. A small bankroll is easy to replace but losing a large bankroll can be catostrophic for a poker player. No cash, no job.

It's often the same concept in IM. The more time, effort and money you have invested in something the more conservative you should be and more resistitant to risk. If you've spent 3 years building a Youtube channel you want to be much more conserative in your strategies than if you're just starting a brnd new channel. Take more chances with "small bankroll" investments.

I'm just getting into IM and want to get better at copy writing. Anybody have any tips for getting started?

Colors are a big part of branding in general. Coke is red. Pepsi is blue. And as marketers we're constantly told how important branding is. But it seems pro sports teams, at least in the US, aren't buying into this.

Pro teams, especially in the NBA change their uniforms and colors constantly. The Celtics are always green but pretty much the other teams are mixing their colors and wearing multiple alternative jerseys. Even teams like the Lakers who were historically purple and gold are no longer really branded with these colors.

Why do you think this is?

I think it's because they feel the increased sales in jerseys by encouraging fans to buy more than one style of their favorite players is more valuable than the long term branding of keeping their colors and uniforms more consistent for better branding.

When I was a young teenage I was a big Carson fan. But I really disliked Rodney Dangerfield. He had these big bugged out eyes, slicked back hair and was always tugging at his tie. But I'd watch him because I loved Carson.

...then I caught myself laughing at Rodney every time I watched him. I learned a life lesson about judging books by their covers and Rodney could fire off one-liners better than anyone ever.

I love hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant. It's better and cheaper than apple cider vinegar. It's H2O2, basically water with an extra molecule of oxygen and when it degrades it becomes water and oxygen so it's totally safe for the environment.

The only real downside is that light breaks it down, which is good for the planet but not good for a disinfectant so it has to be kept out of light which is why it's sold in a brown bottle. You'll need a special sprayer but that can be refilled over and over.
