    Amazon vs. EBay

    MARKETING 
    I do both, but I integrated my CC processing through Stripe. Client doesn't know since everything is done on my site. And Stripe technology is much superior I feel.

    Amazon vs. EBay

    MARKETING 
    PayPal has to be the worst platform. Musk sold it and it went nowhere... I am having a lot of success with Stripe.com - much more intuitive, easy to integrate with WP, and easy to use. And, they don't have the attitude of PP. Musk happens to be an early investor in Stripe...figures

    That's the whole point - it's not cancer!!! Some people have problems, we have struggles... I never said anything about easy - only that it's not cancer... I never said it's not real - only that it's not cancer. We, in our own minds, must be able to draw a line someplace. Guys are coming back...

    The constant battle with myself.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    An interesting assumption you make that I know nothing of it... It's just that I am too busy recovering an autistic kid - he has problems... I don't! I am too busy raising a family - looking at the world around them, they have problems... I don't! I am too busy getting ahead - for them... Go...

    The constant battle with myself.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I was born in Russia. Life in Russia is very much harder than it is in US. When my aunt picked up and left for America, KGB showed up at my father's work... I am so lucky that my parents made it out in 1989. I am so fortunate to be an American. I feel like crying some times, because shit get's...

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    All I know is that people here are unlike anywhere else, so I keep coming back. I I haven't had a job in a long time, but my mind is always working. When I am here, I tend to switch gears - I get engaged by the attitudes here. I, for one, need that, because living inside my head gets old and...

    Achieving Success by Accepting that Self-Improvement is an Oxymoron

    Real Estate Investing: dream or nightmare?

    REAL ESTATE 
    No one said it's easy. But, the reason I don't pay taxes is because I own real estate - and it makes money too - and it builds the balance sheet in its own right... When folks look at RE is a means of instant gratification, more that 75% of the benefits of RE are being overlooked :)
