cme··on Why has no payment startup emerged as a meaningful challenger to PayPal?
You just have to be proactive with paypal..contact them before launching, stay in touch with them to resolve/ prevent any issues (hopefully) before they arise.

cme··on Ask HN: Iphone Games, who's made em?
So do you think partnering with a programmer to bring the ideas to life would be a better avenue?

I understand what you pay for is what you get as I have outsourced Webapps before.

The idea is to get something out there, learn the process, how to market it, ect. Take what I've learned and apply it to another one, reinvesting profits as I go a long.

cme··on Ask HN: What happens when you start selling internationally

cme··on Ask HN: Why are web startups slow to expand abroad?
Is there any legal issues when going into other countries? I am talking in regard to a company that is dealing in purely virtual goods. My company is thinking about expanding into Canada (where everyone (mostly) but Quebec speaks English) with our app. I wasn't sure if there were any legal issues though, we are an LLC based in the States.
cme··on Ask HN: What happens when you start selling internationally
Thanks for the reply..

I'm in the US..and am a single founder. I figured since I was in the US and since my service is offered over the internet I shouldn't have to do anything special. I just see an opportunity in going beyond the US.

If anyone else knows some solid facts on this I would appreciate it!

cme··on Tech guy looking for business person co-founder
Isalmon..shoot me an email. I have some experience with B2B businesses and am located in New England. (cpj1357@gmail.com) I've been looking for a technical person to work on ideas with.
cme··on Ask HN: Surprised by your revenue? Easier than you thought?
Hey Paul,

I'm in NH too and run a very small niche app. I've got about 100 people using mine after 3 months. this is with very little marketing.

I was surprised at how difficult it was to get people to understand the benefits of my app, especially when it was for a very specific need. But once people understand they are more then willing to give it a try.

We are currently working on version 2.0 based on customer feedback and hope to finish/begin marketing the new version by the end of summer.

Let me know if you would ever want to meet up, its hard to find fellow web entrepreneurs in NH!

cme··on Ask HN: Who do you outsource to?
Good point! Anyone can email me at cpj1357@gmail.com

As far as skills, my current site is built in ASP.NET/SQL Server, but we may be looking to convert to PHP in the future, anyone interested should have knowledge of both.

Our current goal is to start adding features based on the customer feedback we have gathered over a couple of months and create a better landing page. We also have several other apps we would like to build out at some point.

Feel free to shoot me an email with you qualifications, examples of work, hrly rate, ect and we can talk in further detail.

Thanks!
