I like that MTLynch writes honestly... I've read many of his blog posts; all are straight from the heart, and packed with information that is new to me. That alone is valuable.

Consider me a supporter. <3

Slightly OT, but man those Kickstarter fees and "payment processing" fees add up to a lot of money in total. Almost 600$.

I should start a payment processor, or something else where I can just take a percentage for not much work at all.

Payment processing is hard and high stakes though.
