What does fire and forget mean? It’s a military term. They just love to aim, press a button and forget about the missile who is on its way to obliterate the target.

You will also read it as “set it and forget it”.

It’s something you should always aim for. Make websites, “fire and forget”. If a site requires constant monitoring and updates from you, then it is taking up too much of your time. Automate all you can, and cut off anything that is time consuming.

Newsletters? Complete and utter bullshit.
Forum Administration? Find something better to do with your life. But first, find some forum moderators.
Email campaigns? Puh leeese… All it takes is one guy clicking on “Report as spam” on their gmail account, and you will be talking to a brick wall.
Article submission. If you are spending 1-2 hours everytime you need a link, then you are stupid. You deserve to fail.

So what should you do?

Splogs. Automated content updates. Pings, rankings, anchor text and link insertion. It’s the next best thing after sex and chocolate.
User communities. Work hard to create them, and find moderators to run them. Pure whitehat user generated content filled with long tail keywords and devoted repeat visitors. The key word here is “Women“
News sites. Make a pretty looking news site for your niche, and make it scrape news stories once a day. Put up some ads, and make sure it lands on computer illiterate people’s homepages.
Widgets/Templates. Code up something useful, and let people take it and put it up on their sites. Automated link building.
Parked domains. Buy them once, profit forever.
Percentage payouts. Always, and I mean always, use the percentage payouts in affiliate programs. Never use the pay per click, or pay per order. Never. Got it?
And last, make your own directory. Stop begging for links.
