I dunno, I was just doing this math and thinking that seems pretty awesome.

You only get $35,000 but the hardware you need is in your pocket.

Of course, you need to be cool and be good at marketing- but still!

I have this exact problem. In my niche, I am the best. Most people post their opinions, but I collect data and do math. It makes the content better than competitors.

However I don't have a marketing team, and I'm not a hip hot girl.

Don't get me wrong, the website is popular and I've been on BBC, but I can tell my lower quality competitors are doing better.

Well, just look at this post right here: you've intentionally used an anonymous account and omitted any links to your excellent content. I bet your "lower quality competitors" would take the opportunity to link to their crap-ass content. ABC!

Why not hire a marketing team?

I tried 3 companies and they sucked, but I spent lots of money.

I think I don't have the cool factor.
