    About to finish a coding bootcamp, while simultaneously starting a web design biz . . . losing my motivation to continue coding

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    What are you studying in your year-long "coding bootcamp"? What is the expected outcome at the end of it all?

    Ecommerce solution to existing website?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    "Shopping section" is too little detail for us to give a meaningful answer. So all you'll get is the universal answer that answers all questions: it depends! To expand on @biophase's answer a little bit... If your friend/client only has a handful of products/services to sell, a full-blown...

    Grant Cardone = Bankrupt (Dumb PR Stunt)

    HOT! 
    This was a joke. He spoke about it on his own YouTube channel. View: https://youtu.be/85ZA5clk3Lg

    PSA: Google Charging for reCaptcha. hCaptcha pays you instead!

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Before anyone runs out to replace their reCaptcha, let's stop and reflect on the fact that none of us here runs a Cloudflare-scale of infrastructure. As with most of Google's API services (eg Google Maps), there's always going to be a generous free tier that will be more than adequate for most...

    Advice please - Best Membership Plugin

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    A "membership site" can mean a million different things to a thousand different people, and giving any recommendations without knowing the specifics of your project is pure heresy. My advice? 1) Invest the time to spec out your project as much as possible, taking care to note what features are...

    I need to verify my Craiglist account

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I'm glad you finally got this done! But perhaps there's a lesson here for all of us that shouldn't be missed: A lot of times the supposed roadblocks we encounter in our daily grind are nothing but mere shadows -- creations of our own minds and misinterpretations of the world around us. Just...

    I need to verify my Craiglist account

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    While I'm not saying that this was a factor, it's easy to see how this could be a factor if you consider why such verification processes exist at all. I'm assuming Craigslist has this verification process for (at the very least) the following two reasons: 1) To fight automated bot signups and...

    I need to verify my Craiglist account

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    First, being unable to set up caller ID to verify your account, though a condition for getting Skype Number and SMS to work, is not quite the same as "Skype Number doesn't accept SMS". Secondly, I think you're misinterpreting the information on the Skype page you quoted. The message you quoted...

    I need to verify my Craiglist account

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    You need US number to get a Google Voice number, which defeats the purpose in @SheikhNaveed's case... unless you want to get another US number from another provider (which doesn't support SMS) as a bridge just to get the Google Voice number.

    Where are you getting this information from? This official Microsoft/Skype FAQ says otherwise: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34884/how-do-i-receive-sms-text-messages-in-skype These kind of services are awesome for low-security accounts you wouldn't mind losing or in which you're not...

    New to the agency business stuff

    INTRO 
    Hi @Kay B. ... welcome to the Fastlane community! But, frankly, most of us here are busy doing shit and don't have the luxury of endless time for random banter. Can you briefly describe exactly what you need help with? What exactly are you trying to do? Where are you stuck? What problem are...

    WhatsApp and the likes

    Wrong. Sure, the conversation may be end-to-end encrypted... but who holds the encryption keys? Besides, while worry about trying to decrypt users' conversations when you have access to pretty much their entire life? Very very wrong. Sure, they've certainly not recouped their investment yet...

    American football coach is suspended... after team scores too much (Not The Onion!)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Found this gem via the subreddit nottheonion. And, sure, it's a true story even The Onion couldn't write: A Long Island high school football coach got the axe for one game after his team thrashed another high school 61-13... because his team's performance violates the local county's "lopsided...

    *Help* Need to accept international ACH payments

    International is a whole different beast. And if the money involved is substantial or coming from a corporation, the paying entity may have their own policies and processes to make cross-border payments. Wire transfer and XB-ACH are pretty much universal, and, again, if the amount is...

    Client Hosting

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Ask yourself... do you want to be in the hosting business, even as a reseller? There's no right or wrong answer here... but if you position yourself as the host of record to your clients, you should be willing, able and ready to handle hosting-related support requests. If you're unwilling or...

    To sell or not to sell (my profiting website)? This is the question!

    Actually, I wasn't thinking of emotions at all: I was thinking 100% business and numbers, along the line of this statement: Can you put it to work to accelerate some other, (hopefully) more lucrative venture? Say, as an example, you have perfected a sales funnel for a product you control that...

    Who is still doing AdSense Arbitrage in 2019?

    I'm also curious to know your arbitrage model and what got Google to ban your AdSense account.

    To sell or not to sell (my profiting website)? This is the question!

    Another point angle to look at is: what does this money mean to you? In order words, do you need this money? Can you put it to work to accelerate some other, (hopefully) more lucrative venture? Whether you decide to sell or not, definitely make a counteroffer: write back to thank the person...

    Bought two websites, could use some help...

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    To put things in perspective for you, what you essentially paid the $65 for this not-quite-2-weeks-old AllContentServices.com are the domain name and WordPress installation. Even here, considering the amount of work and time involved in transferring the domain name and website, this "investment"...
