Is it a good idea to buy a used car from a rental company, say entreprise or hertz? What is the best way for someone international to go about buying a car in the bay area?
based on experience I can recommend developing content around your ecommerce business and the problems the products you sell are solving, and using that to bring traffic to your site.
of course you still have to spread your content so for that you have to work on twitter, facebook, ... connect with people and help them spread the word about your content.
I think for YC you can just come on the visa waiver program. You're not going to do any productive work on your startup really, right? all you will do is have meetings and listen to talks?
you can incorporate in the US, and from what I understand, once you have the corp you have more options to apply for visas, such as the H1B, O, E, ... visas .. you will still need a US person to be involved with the corp such that they can sign for you (that is what I've been told).
but the best thing to do here is talk to a lawyer - I'm not a lawyer, and I can't give any legal advice ...
what products are you going to sell? it really depends on the product.
if it is a physical product, just keep proof of sending the order on file such that you can prove to paypal that you've sent the goods.
if it is a digital product I recommend you get a specific service to deliver the product and handle the transaction, such as shareit, clickbank, digital river, ... they know what to do with chargeback for digital products.
I use last.fm for discovering and listening to music.
I also like grooveshark if I want to listen something specific and share tracks on social media.
I don't really organize music because I don't have time for it. But I do have an old iTunes collection that needs organizing and there is no proper tool out there to clean the collection up automatically. I tried tuneup but it doesn't really work well and the software is not very robust or fast.
Regarding creating music - I'd love to see more comments about that here - most of the above comments are about listening to music :-) what about music creation?
Personally i grew up playing the piano but then dropped it after years of suffering and starting using hardware and software for semi-pro music production .. and eventually became a developer of hardware/software for music making :-)
