What Is ‘Modern Homesteading,' Anyway?
A few weeks ago a particularly ornery guy called me a ‘poser’ on my Facebook page. And then he went on and on an on in post after post about how I wasn’t really ‘homesteading’ and I should call my page something else. Sure Mr. Grumpy Pants. Thankfully, a bunch of awesome people came out of the woodwork and told him a thing or two about what it is we do there. Thing is, I’ve never put myself out there as an expert at this gig. But back to the question – what exactly is ‘modern homesteading’ anyway? I asked the question on our Facebook page and here are some of the responses - I think you'll find them illuminating: • "It means "home". • "Each family is in a different place in their journey and has different homesteading goals. • "Living a simple life and treading as lightly as I can on mother earth." • "It's just a lifestyle - we all have our different path, but it does not mean we are lost. • "It is a journey, a process, not an event or a place. • "I've thought about that a lot too.
PAYPAL használata és online kártyás fizetési lehetőség felállítása lépésről lépésre | tutorial.hu
A Paypal használata és a Paypal kártyás fizetés beüzemelése nagyon egyszerű és azonnal javít a befizetési konverziódon 20-30-50%-ot, vagy többet! Míg az offline világban ritkán történik meg az, hogy valaki bemegy egy üzletedbe és üres kosárral távozik, addig az interneten sokkal gyakrabban. Emberek leadják a rendelésüket a weboldaladon, aztán egy részük be is fizeti – de sajnos csak egy részük! Lehetséges ügyfeled elolvassa a sales szövegedet, ami annyira lázba hozza, hogy azonnal rendel. Ez túl sok időt és fáradtságot igényel valaki számára, a késés és a bonyodalmak pedig az interneten sokszor az eladás teljes halálát okozzák! Ezért célszerű egy egyszerű, gyors és biztonságos kártyás fizetési lehetőséget is biztosítanod ügyfeleid számára. A Paypal rendszert már egyre többen használják Magyarországon is, ezért az emberek már bíznak benne. A könyvelőm nem örül neki, de nem érdekel, mert másfélszeresére nőtt a befizetési konverzióm és ezáltal a bevételem minimális idő befektetéssel. 1. 2. 3.
