    Paying offshore workers with PayPal

    PEOPLE 
    Hi guys Quick question. I live in the US and thinking of hiring an offshore worker and using PayPal to pay them. I know some of you guys have done this already. Had a couple of questions. 1: How much of a headache is it? 2: Did you have to file 1099s/other paper work for offshore workers? 3...

    Paying offshore freelancers

    PEOPLE 
    Had a question about paying via PayPal. I live in the US and thinking of hiring an offshore worker. Am I safe to assume that I can deduct these as expenses and not file any/much paperwork with IRS? I do have a chat with my accountant hopefully next week but any insight would be helpful.

    Free wordpress plugin - is this useful for you?

    Hi guys, I'll make this quick. I created a wordpress plugin that allows a customer to schedule a meeting with me. I figured this plugin might be useful for some of you guys. It's easy to configure and simple to use. You can use it to make some cash on the side while being stuck at home due to...

    Learning a new skill - the first step?

    100% agree here. I don't read/learn anything that doesn't immediately solve my problems anymore. I also found majority of books to be BS. They take 100s of pages to describe few concepts.

    Learning a new skill - the first step?

    Ask Me Anything About SaaS ( I'm building my 7th )

    GOLD! HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    I spent my last few weekends changing a single client solution into a multi-client solution. In my case, I was able to get away with doing lots of database changes and few coding changes. Could you do something similar? May be you can find a creative way to change the database side and minimal...

    How not to get ripped off going to college...

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    It feels like the opposite to me. I work for a big tech company (Amazon) and we can't hire enough developers. My team fell short of our hiring goals for this year. Also i get at least a couple emails a week in LinkedIn if I click on the setting that says I'm looking for a new job. It has never...

    Viral Marketing (RACISM)

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Not a good idea. What if your racist marketing goes viral and your face ends up on the home page of CNN. Now you are branded as a racist all over the internet. This is worse than going to jail for few days. Not to mention, you'll probably get death treats too.

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I don’t think programming is a bubble but it seems like programming salaries in the US are in a bubble because of the stock market (which I think is in a bubble). You can literally have 6-12 years of experience and make $300,000 - $600,000 at some tech companies. Basically half or more than...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I agree and, in some cases, with the help of the cloud, one developer could deliver what it took a whole IT department in 2011. For example, AWS makes it super easy to deploy you app across many regions and be fault tolerant and handle a shitload of traffic and still be lightening fast. On top...
