Another good tip is to actually respond to your customers, especially when they are trying to give you more money.
Currently waiting for Libyan Spider to respond to my third ticket trying to get access to my account so I can renew two domain names I have with them. Not pleased.
These three points all revolve around this: your own network.
Which completely ignores the fact that working in this fashion means you are building an international network which opens up an entire world of opportunity.
You can keep your Valley network, thank you very much!
After visiting Costa Rica I decided this was something I wanted to do. I wrote up my idea on my blog hoping to find a team interested in the same thing.
Over the weekend I found another team that is already doing something similar in Europe & was planning to relocate to South America. They've already got a profitable product just a few months after launched. We hashed out a plan to get us all down to Costa Rica in early September.
I'm very excited about the opportunity & encourage anybody who is even considering something like this to do whatever you can to make it happen!
