Sounds like a good idea, seems too big for Flippa if you ask me. Have you asked any of the sites mentioned above if they're interested? Or a largely offline company?

I like it, the 4-Hour Hacker. Ebook would be good. Do you think enough articles are evergreen to stay relevant?

The problem came because on the visa form it said occupation and singer was put down. When asked why she was there, she said holiday. Then being too honest when asked, she said she had some small non-paying gigs. I can understand how this m

There is no ESTA to fill in going to the UK from the US (that I'm aware of anyway). No rules were being broken either. Just being too honest and excited coupled with not fully realising she should've just said on holiday and nothing else. I

They are useless. The amount of times I was cursed at and asked if I had nothing better to be doing than checking up on my friend was ridiculous.

Apologies. I must learn how to. Write. I've realised a good analogy would be if a golfer was going somewhere on holidays and was going to play a few rounds of leisurely golf with friends while he was there. The thing with the woman officer

Hard to say really, didn't work in this case. Another friend of mine has been told before by passport control to just say "tourist" when she gave an answer that wasn't "I'm here on holiday" whereas customs then grilled her minutes later on

The fact they act on a whim is beyond dodge.

Same boat as you. Never had any close calls before though, went to Ireland recently via Heathrow and had no problem, gave the exact same info. All seems to be down to the officer in charge and the mood they are in. Show up early and dress w

More excited and naive really. Main reason was a holiday, going along to sing in a small pub was only an added bonus, non paid.

I know US passport control is strict but never heard of the UK being so strict. Unlucky to get a grumpy woman with a chip on her shoulder.
