the biggest pot of gold for the greediest AM's

so let's say that you are a ballin super affiliate, pulling down x,xxx,xxx/year from a rotating cast of rebills, pin subs, app installs... etc. You have an odesk platinum card and maybe even a full time employee or two.

Life is good. But there's something missing.

yachts, lamborghinis, islands, to start... You're a greedy greedy AM and x,xxx,xxx/year just about covers the pool upkeep. You need a plan, a goal, a destiny.

You read jason's post http://www.oooff.com/php-affiliate-s...-sitting-down/
about using your AM skills to spring board into an insurance empire. You get goosebumps imagining the cashflow. Just look at what geico did for Warren Buffet....

You listen to Joe Polish's 10x talk podcast. you begin to do the math in your head, 10 x (pool upkeep) ≠ island. Fuck you Joe Polish and your limiting beliefs. I'm gonna 100x it.

so xxx,xxx,xxx a year is your goal/mission/destiny. How would you squeeze every last bit of leverage out of your AM skills to build a 100m a year business?

what would that business be?

china skin whitening cream rebill magnate?
The people's mail order Hedge fund? no minimum deposits! Now you can finally profit from the secret investing techniques the rich don't want you to know about!

I would love to hear the forums suggestions/dreams/hallucinations.

Intellectually, the answer is pretty straight forward:

1 - You come up with a machine that turns shit into gold.(chances are slim to none)

or

2 - You just buy a company which is already generating 100m a year, in revenue, with a good profit margin. It would be a leveraged buy-out aka the Private Equity model.


Good to see you're thinking big!

Problem is to buy that business you have to pay the current value of it. So your only benefit is from whatever you do to increase its value.

That's without mentioning most private market transactions happen at prices advantageous to the seller not buyer.

i.e. there's no free lunch, what you earn is still a reflection of the value you bring.

Off course you would have to pay current value. Then cut costs/increase profits, repay part of the debt and you're on a new level!

How come? Is there a statistic backing this statement?

Why would anyone overpay? Ok, there are cases when acquisition price is over the top (see facebook - instagram), but not too many.

You earn from what you do and get other people to do (not from what you know).

Thanks,
