I am a Pilates studio and for the first few months our direct deposit paychecks from Class Pass were always on time every other Tuesday. The past 3 or 4 payrolls I have had to reach out to Class Pass to receive payment from them and every one has been late. They still owe us one paycheck even.

Any other studios having the same problem? Is it time to remove all our classes from Class Pass?

First and foremost, I sell on eBay so I’m always getting crushed the plan is to get a little something going then switch over to my own shit maybe a little bit of Amazon and other platforms but anyway now that that’s the way

More specifically what I mean easy or hard giggity is do you guys see higher margins with suppliers that have a lot of friction and you gotta verify and do a bunch of bullshit nobody in there right mind wants to do

Or

Do you just go with the easiest option and still make good money

I know it matters on the niche , a whole bunch of other shit but I’m just strictly talking about sourcing

I’m kinda also of the belief that dropshipping does work, but he’s got his limitations

I myself consistently find, the more accessible suppliers with little to no friction at all often have the least margins or negative margins

Let me know your thoughts I’m very curious on what you guys see

I’ve seen some crazy margins that don’t even look real because one supplier that I was considering had backorder inventory I can’t really trust them right now because I got limited capital even if I go with PayPal because they’re not consistent to my knowledge, I haven’t tried them yet

I’ve seen a lot of questions here about using iPads in retail, restaurants, classrooms, or even just for kids – where you want the device to stay on one website or one app and not allow anything else.

After struggling with Guided Access limitations and third-party launchers, I found a proper enterprise method that actually works for free (for up to 1 device) or very low cost for many devices.

The solution is called “kiosk mode” – it locks the iPad to a single app or a specific website (via a kiosk browser), disables hardware buttons, and prevents users from exiting. You can also remotely manage multiple iPads.

I wrote a step-by-step guide (no paywall, no email required) that explains:

• How to set up single-app kiosk mode
• How to use a kiosk browser to restrict to one website
• How to apply this to 1 iPad or 100+ iPads using free tools + Apple Business Manager

Hope this saves someone hours of trial and error. Happy to answer any specific setup questions in the comments – I’m not a bot, just an IT person who’s deployed 200+ iPads this way.

Researching backend platforms for a new iGaming project and trying to get real operator opinions instead of marketing pages.

SOFTSWISS keeps showing up everywhere, but I rarely see feedback from people actively

running casinos on it. Is the reputation deserved, or just strong branding?

Would love to hear what platforms people here are using and what the experience has been

like.

I’m currently trying to start a senior advisory business where I help family members and seniors find resources as well as find housing if need be. I’ve been having a lot of trouble trying to talk to people and help someone it’s been going on 2 1/2 months with no clients. I’m considering trying to do something else. I’m considering doing a Boba tea card for events. It seems more enjoyable less stressful, and the marketing isn’t as hard. I live in the Tampa Tampa Bay area. Can anyone give me some advice?

I’m in need of making near $2K a month to pay rent for a lease that I’m trapped in. The only ways of money I have found online are AI Training. I can learn most things pretty fast but I just have no clue where to look. The IRL job market is completely ruined and I have no hope of getting a job that way so I’m not sure what to do. Please help

Hi everyone, reaching out here to see if anyone has dealt with a similar situation with Ziina.

I’m a business consultant here in Dubai. Recently, a client paid me 7,044 AED via Ziina links (split into 3 payments because they couldn't do it in one go).

As soon as I tried to cash out to my company bank account, the trouble started. Ziina asked for proof of delivery/service. I explained it's an upfront payment for a government-related process (I can't start the work without the funds). I provided:

• Invoices and Quotations
• Full chat history with the client
• Full KYC (Emirates ID front/back + selfie with ID)

Despite providing everything, they terminated my account and told me they will hold the funds for 45 to 120 days.

The most frustrating part:

• Upon requesting clarification regarding the account termination, they stated that they were “unable to disclose the specific details or internal criteria associated with the determination.”
• They refuse to hop on a phone call ("communication is through chats only").
• They refuse an in-person meeting ("no in-office customer support").

They won't even refund the money back to the client so I can collect it via bank transfer.

I’m now in a position where I can’t start the client's work, and my capital is sitting in a "review" limbo despite me being a fully verified UAE resident and business owner.

Has anyone successfully escalated a case like this? I’m preparing a formal complaint for Sanadak (Central Bank Ombudsman) and Dubai Economy (DET), but it's shocking that a UAE-based fintech can lock business funds like this with zero human interaction.

Tagging u/ZiinaMENA for a resolution.

I’m an RN exploring a business idea helping families navigate senior care decisions for an aging loved one.

I would not provide hands-on care. The idea is to create a simple “care blueprint” with options/resources like adult day care, memory care, assisted living, home support, transportation, Medicaid/Medicare specialists, or home health agencies.

I’m struggling with how to position and monetize it.

Hey guys! So, it’s the summer holidays, and while everyone is out enjoying their break, my co-founder and I are sitting here staring at a website that has everything except customers. We’ve been building our brand, Lumora Lights, for the last two months, and we’ve honestly nailed the technical stuff—the website is clean, shipping is ready, and the logistics are sorted. But here’s the reality check: when it comes to sales and social media, we are complete "dumbos." 🤡 We built the engine, but we have absolutely no clue how to drive the car or even talk to people.

We’re basically indirectly begging for help at this point because we don’t want all this work to go to waste. If you’re bored this summer and have even a little bit of interest in the entrepreneurship world, come join us and help us kill the silence on our order page.

We aren’t some stiff, corporate team—we’re just friends building a brand. The vibe is totally chill; nothing is "too toxic" for us. If we’re doing something stupid, tell us to our face or insult us in fun—we can take it, and we honestly want to learn from someone who actually understands the sales side.

This is a temporary "rescue mission" for the summer, but if you’re a legend and we start seeing those orders roll in, we’d love to hire you and keep you on the team permanently. Plus, you won't be working for free; if you bring in the orders, you're getting a solid cut of the profit. 💰 We’ve done the heavy lifting on the backend, now we just need someone with a "hustle" mindset to help us with the posting and outreach.

Please, if you know what you’re doing, drop your Instagram ID in the comments. Save us from our own lack of social skills and let’s get Lumora Lights moving! 📈✨

Please help good men
