    Hate Winter? Live in Spain With Pool, WiFi and Rooftop Terrace for €395/month

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Oh... the Spanish dream :) It sure looks nice, but as others said, Spain has it's own set of problems (empoyment, etc). You need to have a location independent income before moving here, or forget about it. Plus, after a few months on the golf course, won't you get tired of it? There's a...

    Skill that can make $2000 a month?

    HOT! 
    Ok. Totally non-fastlane answer. But did you consider finding a remote job. Yes JOB. There are many companies that allow people to work remotely these days. And don't watch too many of those dropshipping fba work from the beach videos on Youtube. It's not that easy. (only if you buy their...

    WhatsApp and the likes

    Probably the only option you have is to directly charge for it in one way or the other (monthly, for certain upgrades, etc). Off topic... I was thinking about Whatsapp the other day.. even with encrypted messages .. they still learn A LOT about you. - who you have contact with - at what time...

    Potential Chargebacks - Fight or Flight

    I know the feeling. It sucks, but the best thing is to just refund them and don't look back. Luckily I don't encounter this often, but just last month, I had a customer make an order. Credit card failed. They re-tried and succeeded. A day later they ask for a refund. Not a big deal, but since...

    [SOFTWARE DEV] Please recommend how I should manage multi-customer custom-made websites.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Can't you just use WHM / CPANEL for this? You can give each client it's own cpanel account and be done with it. You can install this on a VPS, or you could even use "reseller hosting" .. which will typically be 'shared hosting' so you are not that flexible with access and programs you can run...

    printing and shipping (different options)

    Hi, Anybody got experience / recommendations for printing and shipping books/manuals in the USA (and word wide)? It's a 130 page us letter/A4 sized with many full color pages (photos, diagrams), coil-bound but ring-binder would be a great option as well. Orders are usually for 1 piece at a...

    How to collect international money?

    You mention 'international' in the title. What county are you in and where are your customers? It depends on your exact situation I guess.. how many business owners will you work with? The safest for you is of course to let the end-customer pay you (cc, paypal), and you pay the business owner...

    Family with a different mindset

    PEOPLE 
    If you don't have a job and don't go to school, what do you do all day? How much time do you spend working on your business and how much hanging out with friends? Your dad might be able to appreciate your choices better if he sees you are working harder now that you would in school or in a...

    Drip.com - Reviews/Experience?

    MARKETING 
    Hi, Personally, I'd recommend Active Campaign (in general, for email marketing automation). I tried Drip for a week or two, but found some core features missing (at least for my use case), so I stayed with AC. Not sure about integration with e-com stores as I don't use it for that purpose...

    Pricing - struggling

    Another idea... change the packaging.. make a 'online' version and a 'premium hardcopy' version. Guide (pdf): $119 / $99 / ?? Premium Hardcopy Guide: $249 (ring binder / book with some extra bonuses) Online course: $199 Premium home study course: $495 (this would be a DVD and ring binder...

    Pricing - struggling

    Hi, (sorry for the long post with many different questions, as you can tell, need some direction... ) What I do I sell digital products (courses/guides) about a specific industrial niche topic (mostly b2b) . To give some idea, these machines cost anywhere between 2k and 30k and running costs...

    Coffee and Cacao Import Business

    SOURCING 
    I think it's a great idea! About entry, I think you have a huge advantage over most people - everybody can start a Amazon fba these days, but who has family in Central America who is growing coffee? Einfamilienhause gave a fantastic answer and it's exactly what I was thinking as well. You...

    Google disapproving repair ads?!?

    MARKETING 
    This seems to focus on the "IT tech help scams" (scammers pretending to be from Microsoft, etc 'fixing' your computer). A quick google search shows a lot of unhappy people, for example local computer repair businesses, etc. Sounds to me like their new rules are interpreted completely wrong...

    Webdev - need help

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Lots of answers here focus on the frontend.. js, vue, react, etc. But you don't have to go that route... for example, javascript is less than 10% of what I do. 'learn webdevelopment' is a bit of a broad topic these days... and you probably can't / don't want to learn it al. If you're 100%...

    Estonian e-Residency

    I was in a similar situation some years ago. Did look at the e-residency thing, but it was still new and I didn't go that route. For anybody reading this who might be interested: I ended up setting up my company in Hong Kong. I lived in Asia at the time so it was a logical choice. It was easy...
