Have you thought about allowing different, unrelated employers to combine to insure one person? A lot of people find that a part time job does not give them enough hours to be insured, so they get a second job, but don't get enough hou

I'm finding there are a certain group of people who are really struggling socially, and to them this is a good thing, even with the risks. Some people lost their whole social network when the office went home, and they long for it to

Yes, especially common in the bread and chip aisles. Third-party stockers come in and replace the inventory. Same with soda.

https://startupgroundwork.com/ It helps people start a business by helping them find the right software and acts as a starting point for research. It's half-baked because writing content is very difficult and energy co

I created my own subreddit and if you look at the sidebar, it is clearly promotional content. I post my own stuff and have links to my website in my sidebar. It works pretty well and I don't get complaints. Its a fashion sub so I cross

Here's one law professor's setup. I thought the telepromter was a nice touch if you have to do a lot of presentations. https://reason.com/2020/05/24/my-new-eight-monitor-display/

I haven't checked if they offer it, but places to research are Square Payroll, Wave, or the big ones ADP & Paychex. A lot of accounting software can also do this, so Quickbooks Payroll, Zoho & Sage. Let us know what you pick.

Gusto is pretty popular for small businesses. You don't have to have a subscription plan to pay contractors, they take a cut. https://gusto.com/product/pricing

They are much more effective by telephone, so getting just 5 people on the phone is probably worth more to them than spending time emailin bunch of people.

That's exactly what it felt like to me too. It's why I enjoy featuring the custom watch strap shops, they provide a break from the affiliate angle. I also try to make my guides a bit longer than usual and also more in-depth with m

Sure, I run https://basicbands.com/ . It's a website about watch strap fashion. Most of my income comes from Amazon. I don't make money off the sale of watchbands very much, they're very cheap, so I write post

I run an affiliate blog, and they're definitely easy to get up and running. However, they're not "only 1 or two hours a day" type things as they are often claimed. But they can be fun and rewarding. I usually make around

https://basicbands.com/ It is my side project, a blog about watch straps. You should read it because the world of custom watch straps is actually pretty amazing and full of really cool artists doing leatherwork. If any of y

I feel like this is one of those things people imagine happens, but actually never happens. If it did happen, eventually someone would get caught and we'd see evidence of said secret room and the painting would be recovered from a mans

I have an Amazon affiliate site that I've posted about previously. As the other poster suggested, passive is a bit of a myth, its actually quite a bit of work. But its always at my pace and no one is looking over my shoulder. I can cra

We pay them money so they stay in power and don't get usurped by other killers, namely the Islamic groups that want to kill Americans. Right now the warlords just kill other Africans, which the U.S. government considers a win, sadly. I

I'm suspicious of this argument. If you don't have any intellectual property laws, can't anyone just duplicate all of those methods you mentioned? If Marvel releases a movie, I can steal it and ask people to subscribe to my s
