So you've probably heard that Shemp has passed away. It's true he has. Peacefully.

I'll cut to the chase. My father told me that if I could find the password to this forum, then I should reach out.

So I set off on a quest and filed through one page after another. Minutes went by, and then hours. The amount of passwords Shemp has is legendary. But then it hit me. Like Las Vegas buffet after a night of drinking. It must be saved somewhere on his computer. Eventually I found the password hidden away in a random folder.

So here I am. With a simple question.

How does one continue such a legacy? Of course, I still remember the legendary Shemp URL, which sadly is no longer his. I also understand that the industry has changed drastically over that time. With the all-consuming power of the Tube sites. But I want to make a mark, in honor of my dad and what he created.

So any ideas? I know he runs the Outlaw website currently. But I'm thinking bigger. Any advice is welcome. Industry or the like.

Oh, and Shemp leaves you with this one piece of wisdom. "Never settle."*
He told me that after I asked him if he had any more advice.

Thank you
Shemp Jr
Your intentions are quite honorable!

My first question would be: Do you have any experience being a webmaster? Can you code? Do you have experience media buying?

If you're starting at 0 when it comes to affiliate marketing, then my suggestion is to start looking at your father's TGP and how he ran it. Learn the basics of operating a TGP, hosting, scripts, etc. and start gradually building your skillset from there.
