Your pricing looks amazing - but it looks like you had an outage this morning too. Can you talk about that?

>Surely it's just a matter of deleting an email address from a table. Actually, they have to add you to an opt-out table. If they just delete you, there's the chance that you'll get re-added at a later date.

The product needs to be cheap enough that small business owners can afford it, simple enough for them to use it (many are not technologically savvy) and the value needs to be self-evident. It's a hard combination to crack.

Get a 50% deposit before you begin work. That 50% should be enough that you won't be completely screwed if they never wrap up the project. If your goal is really to bootstrap your startup, your best bet is probably to hang on to the day jo

I was diagnosed in college. My adviser suspected something was wrong and suggested I see a specialist. It's been more than 20 years, so I'm a little hazy on the details - but from what I remember, the tests mostly involved reasoning and ab

I would love to be able to offload my support queue a few days a week.

I couldn't have said this better myself. The more I made from my side project, the more it magnified everything I hated about my day job.

My customers see the name of my company on their credit card statements, not my name. Use a mail forwarding service or virtual office if you need to add a further layer of abstraction.

I was a conference director for seven years, and everything you say is true. In addition to what you mentioned, conference organizers are forced to estimate the number of attendees and reserve blocks of hotel rooms to ensure availability.

It can be really difficult to go back to school after being in the workforce - both financially and socially. Two thoughts: 1. Don't take on financial obligations that will make it impossible for you to return to school. With older cowor

One suggestion - I'd have a native English speaker polish up the content for you to make it seem a little less halting.

I built mine on nights and weekends and quit when I was able to pay myself more than my day job. I had about 9 months worth of living expenses saved up.

It looks like your service is a front-end for existing payment processors, some of whom already offer recurring billing products. How do you differentiate your service against something like Braintree's Vault and recurring billing?

A credit card is a revolving line of credit, and it's useful if you need more control over when you pay your bills(e.g. paying the hosting bill on the third week of the month instead of the first). Note that I'm not advocating that you car

'Legitimate' in this context is not intended to be synonymous with 'raking in cash'. I'm talking about profitable businesses with sustainable revenue models - not someone with a niche, keyword specific domain they registered three months ag

Flippa is just really noisy. It seems like the majority of listings are short-lived scraping sites with no revenue, or sites with revenue being sold for outrageous amounts of money. As a buyer, I'd like to see a Flippa-like site that only s

Seriously, take a vacation. Take your girlfriend. Go someplace far away and relaxing, and stay off the internet. I only get five days of vacation a year, but I damn sure take them. Vacation is my reset button.

No, and I didn't even do anything in my field of study. I feel like I've done well despite the lack of paper, but as the years have worn on, my reasons for dropping out sound less and less credible and more and more like excuses. It's def

First, seriously, go see a therapist before you make any decisions. The fact that this is happening during your freshman year is disgustingly normal - everybody goes through a period of adjustment at this point in their lives, but it's mu

Didn't work in Firefox even after allowing (the suggestion to "Allow" lined up in Chrome, though). Loaded the site in Chrome, and no movies were found in my area despite being within 10 miles of two movie theaters.
