makingdeals209, I will admit I am a bit envious at how much you and Gmario have made in such a short time ... I think it is quite impressive, actually.
Posting "Awesome job! This business is great!" in every Brag Bag is a little sad to see, but I am not one of those people who care. Honestly ... have a ball with it (unless the thread has been dead for years ... then that's a problem). I just want to say there are some who care, though, and it will only start fights if you reply back to it (nothing against you either, chrome).
But if you two want to continue "debating", I'll be sure to watch when the mods step in and take action. That's all.
Again, good job to makingdeals and gmario at your rapid successes )

No many people make it to the $30,000 in their entire career and you've managed to do it in such a short time.... kudos
now that you're on the other side of the business, how long do you plan of completing other people's sites?
