This looks like a great font. I love Inconsolata—I've used it for more than a few months now, and it's extremely good. I've tried Monaco, Monaco Lives, Menlo (I think?) etc. and keep going back to Inconsolata. :-)

As an answer to the actual title of the article, yes, it is hard. It can't be any other way. The answer to the question here: there could be many reasons for this. The one that stands out is the fact that the market is very crowded and thus

Congratulations! Not only are those excellent numbers but the fact that you were able to do more of what you wanted to is wonderful. Quitting a job isn't for everyone — no matter what anyone says, it requires tremendous discipline and focus

I would definitely try it out if something can match Google's spam filters and search. From a first look, I like the UI however, in my opinion, there's way too much white and it's not intuitive enough. I'd definitely add a little bit of col

I would create a (maybe more than one, if I have that kind of time) wordpress plugin/theme (or any other app that has some value) if I have those skills and sell the entire plugin on a site like, say, Flippa. It would be easier and quicker

I agree, too. Sometimes, while trying to remove the superfluous elements, we kill the essence of the e-mail copy. The original one is fairly good.

This looks extremely good. The video is also very well done; props on that!

I've used Assistly (for about an year) for this, and they are extremely good for all that you have mentioned. I've never used them for live chat (do they even have that function?) so I can't say anything. I loved the UI; it's extremely easy

Prismatic is what I use. It's fairly good; I hope they come up with an iPad app though. :)

You're talking of Twitter Bootstrap and the likes, so... yes. There are many others too (Zurb Foundation and Skeleton) that are very good. Here's a good comparison between some of the most known ones to help you out: http://responsive.verm

I was in the exact same position a few months ago. I wasn't anywhere near 110 WPM though; I think I was 80 WPM for the most part. I write a lot so all it took me was a conscious decision to use all my ten fingers, even if it made me type a

I agree with this. I'd try and learn the basics of coding, put together a prototype and get some initial feedback. It will be much better to seek a co-founder at this point, who can help you complete the product and launch it. It's not easy

I use plain paper most of the time. It's convenient, and I've been used to it. Sometimes I use the iOS's native Notes app for that. It's pretty basic for writing but that's exactly what I want.

I'd also recommend having a few months' expenses with you. With freelancing, it's not very difficult to get a few initial clients but it will take time to get to a sustainable $100,000/year. Having a few months' expenses saved would be pr

For portability, the Air can't be beat. I use a MacBook Pro because I don't really have a use for portability but I have worked with an Air and it is more than enough for what you need. The battery life is slightly lower than the Pros but,

Well, you have more than 98% of your links with this anchor text: nexus tablets. Out of 118,824, about 118,100 use that anchor text. (I used ahrefs to get this) That's a massive flag right there. Many of these are sitewide links (which, aga

I second the Ultimate Sales Machine. Very good book. "Pitch Anything" is decent, too.

For those who have already invested quite a bit into the Apple ecosystem, bought a lot of apps, etc., I think the iPad Mini sounds like a more logical choice. I do agree that it's a bit on the expensive side but that's always the case with

I really like the design; kudos on that! Clean and delivers the message just right. The pages also load really fast which is a nice addition. I also second itsprofitbaron's comment on changing the domain name. I couldn't find it so I'd like

I think, for a start, 2Checkout would do the job. I've used them and they are pretty good. They can also give you better rates. There are some discount codes floating around using which you can sign up without the $49 fee. The folks at htt

Yep, definitely based on location. For me, it shows the India leaderboard first.
