Feb 19	comment	Transferring money out of LLC business account to a personal account to pay a international supplier to avoid wire transfer fee Actually Moneygram is even better it's a little cheaper and the person in China can go to any large ICBC and pick it up which is one of the larger banks in China.
Feb 19	comment	Transferring money out of LLC business account to a personal account to pay a international supplier to avoid wire transfer fee Why not use your business debit card and send from western unions website. It's safe, secure, very reliable and cheaper than international outgoing wires
Jan 27	comment	How can fewer features be better? @Ken excellent question, I just read Getting Real my self and have been doing some of the wire-framing sketching etc for an app i'm building but at the same time I was stuck in a never ending cycle of feature development and things I wanted and never launched. I put that project aside and moved to a stripped down version which i'm very happy about saving money and will launch a quality product not a half ass one. That said look at Zendesk, and Assitly. Plenty of features but awesome interfaces.

Dec 29	comment	Recommendation for a lawyer to setup an offshore company (possibly Cayman Islands)? SFM offers IBC's in Belize and an insane premium and as I pointed out you can get one directly from Belize Bank for hundreds cheaper. This is site is like any other they charge a premium to do the work for you just like a layer when you can do it directly in any country. It's a waste of money and risk in my opinion to deal with such companies. It's much easier and cheaper to do it on your own.

Dec 25	answered	Should a Minimum Viable Product be standards validated?
Dec 25	comment	Legal implications of a chargeback on NO-Refund policy @Nimbuz Gary is 100% correct. Unless the credit card is present physically and you swipe it, verify the signature, get a signed receipt by the card owner (not holder since someone can use another persons card), verify the signature. You will not be able to stop a chargeback, even if you provide an email and show your terms. A simpler reason is this, banks and card issuers want to protect their customers. The chargeback fees come out of your bank account, the money for the refund comes out of your account. The bank's have a happy customer, and you can't do anything about it.
Dec 25	comment	What could go wrong if I put my site on a Somalia (.so) domain? Google treats ccTLD's (Country specific top level domains) differently in the search results. It'll favor your site in Somalia and less likely to come up when people are searching for it in the US or Europe. You would need serious SEO to rank highly in International Google sites like Google.com
Dec 19	comment	Would it be beneficial for an internet startup to give money to twitter followers? Don't give your money away. I'll go follow you if you were going to pay me and I don't even know what your businesses. Start a sweepstakes, run facebook ads, Google, Bing using free ad credits. Without knowing the kind of business you have we can't give you too many suggestions. Just don't give money to people just for following you.
Dec 19	comment	Would it be beneficial for an internet startup to give money to twitter followers? Sweepstakes, contests etc are great. I see more and more of them on facebook every month

Nov 30	comment	Comparison of sites that force email activation vs. ones that accept any email Post a link to these statistics "25% of emails for SaaS products are opened".... Email validation for me means someone can't use a fake email or someone else's email address.
Nov 28	comment	Is a logo important on first batch of business cards and website? @HerrK is that spam or a joke $230.00 for 1,000 cards? I can get 1000 custom business cards for $30.00 USD

Nov 26	comment	Is a logo important on first batch of business cards and website? @mojsilo i've been asked for cards the last couple of weeks, there's times it's easier to hand a card out than have someone put my number and or email into their cellphone. Plus there are a lot of local business which let you put business cards onto cork boards which would help a little with local marketing.
Nov 26	comment	Is a logo important on first batch of business cards and website? The websites fine without it for now so I guess business cards should be ok for now as well. It looks very professional and of course once I have one created i'll get new stationary.
