    Cars in Spain/Egypt

    Cars in Spain/Portugal are overpriced due to Import Tax and because most annual fees aren't updated. My Diesel 1.6 2001 car pays 32€ while the new lowest fee (based on pollution) is at around 150€. If I were to import my car right now, I would pay 200+€ annually. This makes local older cars...

    The Uberpreneur: How An Uber Driver Makes $252,000 A Year

    EXECUTION 
    This. It has to be really smooth, wait for the customer to ask something about it. People expect a ride, not a sales pitch. But as soon as Uber finds it, I think he'll be in trouble. Edit: After all, Uber supports it, the user ratings above all: “Absolutely,” Uber spokeswoman Kristin Carvell...

    Why are you running away? 18-23 yr olds

    MINDSET 
    You're making a bunch of assumptions there. Here in Portugal you have public and private universities. And we don't have that USA college life.

    This. Yes, you learn a thing how to. You experience exactly how f*cked up the education system is, and why the "workforce" are a bunch of standardized genius of useless theoretical shit. Yes, some subjects have some useful content, that you could learn on youtube in 2 hours. To give a little...

    Internet's barriers of entry, already fallen?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Some years ago all you needed was a crappy website and to shot some crappy offer to an e-mail list. Start a store, get some ads, you'll probably fail? Why? Everyone can start a shopify store these days. The customers now need social proof, reviews, feedbacks, they won't just enter a website...

    My "Bitcoin" Start up

    You said what makes you different, now tell me, from a customer perspective, how are you services better? Let's say I go into Zappos, why on earth would I convert my EUR & USD into Zappos currency? To save 3%? But wouldn't I be spending almost the same to convert to Zappos currency? Can you...

    What camera do you use for product photography?

    This is way I suggested the SX160 , It is cheap and gives manual control , it's a great mid-way to an DSLR. The only downside is the lack of remote control option w/ a computer.

    Facebook Ads Not Running: Is This Normal?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I used to have a problem with time-zones, because my ad account was in US time, and I was in GMT, the ads that were supposed to start "now" had the GMT hour (it grabs from the local system), so I needed to adjust to US hour.
