Fine I'll reveal a past success. It ranked 480 on Alexa at its peak.

People here seem to be very distrusting so I'll tell you one of my past success's that isn't up anymore.

I was the sole founder of MovieForumz.com which reached a best rank of around 480ish (global) and had profits in the millions.

I'll post a link to my blog in the comments incase anyone wants to read it. I'm using it to share experience, information, and insight while taking SinkFloat from a no-name, worthless website to a multi-million dollar success.

    When you started your other projects that gave you your current claimed capital did you start from zero or did you already have other sources of money (investors, inheritance etc).

    According to Compete, MovieForumz currently has around 5000 unique visitors a month. Did you sell the site, or is it still bringing in money - albeit with a smaller audience?

    Exactly how much money did you make from it? and have you been able to sustain the same kind of returns on other projects since then ?

    Alright so the blog that got downvoted to hell before was http://www.sinkfloat.com/blog/

    A few people contacted me with questions so I wanted to make this thread so they could ask them and maybe it could benefit more people.

    I'll tell you guys about myself and you can let me know if you have any questions.

    I'm a solo founder. I create all the sites myself as far as design/coding goes. I mostly use PHP/MySQL. I bootstrapped my first site with just cash and credit cards.

    Ask me almost anything!
