@John O - I was OTR for a year. If you work for yourself and are directly in touch with a broker you can go out for three days and it will pay the bills for the whole week

Right on, dude

If anybody needs help with digital marketing, hit me up.

my current job as a company driver gets me home every night and pays almost 70 a year which is not bad really

Cool. I didn't know you already had experience in it, I thought you were going in blind. Sounds good, man, good luck

$70,000 a year?

lmao you make more than I'm gonna make in computer science @Logan

Truckers rise up

@Jacob yea I was going to wait until you got here but I want to get you in the compound.

be your own boss, start your own company, very cheap rent, be part of a little community, etc

cheapest rent is if you live with us. We are going to buy a house in a few months, possibly with a workshop and a granny flat for IE Kingz to stay in on a semi-permanent basis

that would actually be cool

yep. by the time you graduate we should be in the flow of things. We want to do team runs to CA and back, taking 3 or 4 days so the rest of the time we can just be with family or working on projects like writing and athletics

good evening folks,

I’ve been thinking about getting into freelance translation (English>Russian and vice versa) and I wanted to start in friendly circles. If anyone can point me towards an individual or organization that could use such a service, I’d love to know more.

(reposted from languages channel)

I don’t know much about translation. Is this a service that would be useful to market to multinational corporations with reciprocal agreements?

Richard's ex (kidding kidding)

@Alex Kolchak - NY Call Jared Taylor.

Seriously, I called AmRen 2 years ago to buy tickets and Uncle Jared answered the phone and chatted with me for 5 mins.

Jared Taylor is in the business of translating Japanese>English

@Ryan -NJ
Translating directions for products, labels, and answering emails for small to mid-size foreign companies can make great money.

Someone has to translate the shipping label, navigate the USPS and be able to communicate with customers and suppliers for those Anime shipments. 😉

@Tyler0317 Good suggestions.

@Tyler0317 TY so much on the Grasshopper Rec.

Exactly what I was looking for as a startup. You saved me a ton of money.

Or well, maybe not a *ton*, but a handful for sure!

@Papa Pizzagate 💪

@Tyler0317 got any tips or coupons for domain registration and hosting?

Sheeeit,
I wish

@Papa Pizzagate

Yeah that is a pretty low cost thankfully

I paid a guy to set up all the internet side for me.

@Papa Pizzagate with easy DNS I got a domain name for like 10 years for like a hundred bucks. Not even the cheapest. I think GoDaddy is the cheapest

@Papa Pizzagate also if you ever wind up having permanent salaried employees you may want to check out a PEO like Trinet or Justworks to handle benefits and things like that. They basically become a type of co-owner of the company and negotiate with insurance on your behalf. If instead you think you will be a contractor for a while then you may want to checkout The Freelancer's Union just to handle your own insurance and stuff.

Thanks, Chris. I will probably look into the former. I want to grow as quickly and soon as I am able.

@Papa Pizzagate Will you be using an e-commerce platform such as Big Commerce?

@Ryan -NJwu commerce probably

@Papa Pizzagate I don’t know much about that platform. Keep in mind that some e-commerce platforms work better than others to engage potential clients across multiple channels. The platform that works best will be need contingent.

If anyone needs help with a website, e-commerce, or digital marketing, just reach out 😎

@everyone ^

I'm doing my taxes this week.

Easily my least favorite time of the year.

Whenever someone idealizes entrepreneurship, and wants to believe how perfect a career this is....
I secretly want to invite them into my office as I shoot 3 thousand emails to accountants, bureaucrats, middlemen, suppliers.....

Keep up the hard work
