Two tips for y’all that may very well come in useful in the days ahead. First, our old friend Chris Muir recommends that saner, non-Leftwit sorts seriously consider dumping PayPal for Authorize-dot-net.
I have no knowledge or experience with ’em myself; I’ll look into it and see what’s up. Having known Chris for many years now, I can tell you folks that I completely trust his judgment and smarts, and figure that any suggestion he makes along any such lines is likely a good one.
Second, entrepreneur extraordinaire Mike Lindell is launching a competitor for Amazon.
Mike Lindell is fighting back!
After he was canceled by retailers, Mike Lindell is starting his own online store: MyStore.com
MyStore is going to rival Amazon, Mike says.
“For years entrepreneurs and inventors have come to me with products and ideas. They don’t know how to market them, and I haven’t had the time to show them,” Lindell said in a video on the (Business Insider—M) site.
“I am going to put vetted products from great entrepreneurs on here, like you see a sampling of them here today, that are going to change this country,” he continued.
“We’re finally going to be able to see these products and be able to get these great entrepreneurs, their great ideas, out to you, the public.”
The site also proclaims that there are “hundreds” of products coming soon, and it includes a link to a form for people to submit applications for “products ready for market.”
Lindell has set himself a truly Herculean task with this venture, and I wish him every success. His “MyStore” can be visited here.
I’ve used Authorize.net for over fifteen years in my business and never have had a single problem.
Really? Well, that’s definitely reassuring. I must admit I didn’t even know about ’em before now.
I never heard of them either.
They’re actually one of the main payment processing gateways and have been for a long time. They are more of a “business” provider, and thus don’t have the awareness of, say, PayPal, Stripe, or those kinds of networks.
