Jim, I'm sure you'll find this interesting: Talk : Brokers/Resources : Income Taxes and Record Keeping ( tax ) \| Previous \| Next \| Respond \| To: +WallStBum (1360 ) From: +Kaye Thomas Thursday, Sep 24 1998 4:38PM ET Reply # of 1373 I've checked out your sight a number of times and forwarded it to others; it's a terrific site. But what's in it for you? My standard answer, at least when I get that question here on SI, is that I hope to sell the site some day for $33 million. (wink) The truth is that I started the site without a business plan. Like Colin, I enjoy helping people and often answer questions here and in other forums. I started experimenting with the web site late last year as a way to offer more complete answers, particularly for questions that come up repeatedly. It has "growed like Topsy" since then, both in volume of the site (around 600 pages now, if you print it all out) and volume of traffic (still puny relative to a juggernaut like SI but growing nicely). I don't draw much legal business from the site because people who hire firms like mine (a prominent downtown Chicago firm) generally do so on the basis of a relationship. And it takes a huge amount of my time. I guess in the end the only way I'll be able to carry on is if it becomes popular enough so I can make a decent amount through advertising. It's a long way from producing enough traffic so I can "quit my day job" but there's plenty of room for growth. Yahoo still doesn't acknowledge my existence despite multiple submissions; with a decent listing there and some other promotion the site might start to bring in more than it costs. Oops, I'm rambling . . . well, you asked for it. Kaye Thomas, author Fairmark Press Tax Guide for Investors fairmark.com Next Previous
