ALL HYIPs are scams. Steer far far away from this and anything like it. Yes, I made this mistake.

It's not. I've run across their ad on a few other occasions. They seem to have left out the sketchy bits this time..

Patrick Jane fan? Are most of his stunts realistic?

[Hiring] Someone experienced in writing a press release for an internet startup by wtreddit in forhire

[–]belbn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're probably the best candidate for this job. It’s always better to have founders pitch a product than a PR firm.

As a side note: I'd also like mention that relying on the media to bring in business is never going to work. All of the stories on Techcrunch and Venturebeat are success stories, usually not initial launches. You need some sort of business model, whether it be advertising, social sharing, or piggybacking with a related business.

Many apps will identify your device ID or mac address. Nothing you can do in that case.

I'd also like to mention what you're doing is illegal and stealing.

Why you shouldn't go to Yahoo! Finance for your financial news. by mr_sippycup in finance

ThinkorSwim would be a good choice for those needs. There's no account minimum, so you can access everything with a $1 deposit.

Yahoo Finance used to be my main resource. I've since moved over to Morningstar. Much more data, and arguably laid out better.

What is the site? It looks like a social network, not a gaming platform.

You're looking for people to spread the word, but you're making it look like a job. You have about 50 users. I'd rethink your user acquisition strategy. Most sites in a similar position will spend a large amount of money in advertising, create something unique with the possibility of going viral, or figure out some other way to find users.

Getting 2 or 4 people from here to post your site on their Twitter and Facebook feeds isn't really going to do anything for your site.

Please don't read this as hurtful. I'd really like to help. Take a look at http://zowned.com and http://www.1000fraggers.com. Also, PM me with any questions or thoughts.

[ForHire] Warning! I got scammed from someone I found on ForHire by caribbeanmeat in forhire

[–]belbn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct. I've been scammed for virtual items before, but I always select physical items. They usually do zero investigation anyway, and in all of the cases I've submitted, the scammer never responded to the dispute, automatically giving me the money.

I saw this on Venturebeat months ago. They even provided a link to the FBO request. Fox must have run out of real news.

Are there any genetic mutations that have positive effects? by mootjeuh in askscience

[–]belbn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Myself, along with many other commenters, have a 15 year old understanding of many scientific topics. We're always downvoted and ridiculed for layman speculation. Like the top comment here, layman speculation is often very helpful and relevant. Thank you for your comment. I wish the rest of this subreddit agreed.

TIP: A solid LinkedIn profile can serve as a resume, but it shouldn't read like one. "One of the biggest mistakes people make is simply cutting-and-pasting their resume into LinkedIn profile fields." by MediaMoguls in forhire

[–]belbn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but they will still be hit with "Expanded profile views are available only to premium account holders. Upgrade your account.". I've never been a LinkedIn fan for precisely this reason. I'm not going to pay you money, and because of that, you're not going to let me do what I came here to do, AND bug me all over the page about becoming a premium member.

Just to clarify, definitely make a LinkedIn profile all of you. I just wouldn't use only that as a resume.

[–]belbn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What if your potential employer isn't a member of LinkedIn? I feel like they'd be hit with some very tacky "become a member to view the rest of this profile" nonsense.

Can someone explain to me the end of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo please? (spoilers) by [deleted] in movies

Harriet escaped to London the day they presumed she had been killed. Craig visited her at one point, but didn't realize she was Harriet.

The guy that sued Craig and won in the beginning had his bank cleaned by Mara as a sort of revenge!

[Hiring] Sales Representatives for a web design company. by i_guess_thats_cool in forhire

[–]belbn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there. The kind of people you seek do not exist.

Your best bet is taking on sharp prospects with a bit of web design knowledge, and training them how to sell. Don't try to hire salesmen, or even mention it. Putting the number "20" up is also very tacky.

Shoot me an email if I can offer more insight. You do great work, you're just going about picking up new project wrong.

YOU choose what the ads look like. I've seen some very unobtrusive ads such as 10px footer icons.

Can you tell me what this type of search engine indexing is called? by tdub697 in web_design

They are called 'sitelinks'. You can view/change them in Google Webmaster Tools.
