I wonder why they even call it a Bandit sign in the first place, but it’s a pre-printed or handwritten sign about 1 ft by 2ft that one can place on the side of the road.

There are so many people who struggle with making money online, and I think their issue is just the lack of simplicity. Making things too complex will demotivate and kill almost anything.

One of the first things I do when starting a new business, or expanding online with an existing business, is a domain name search. If I can find a domain name that pops, is short and can be remembered, my business will start off on the right foot.
