So when i hit rock bottom all i had was a camperand a lifetime collection of tools. I had worked on cars all my life so when my boy told me he was moving to North Dakota and wasn't taking his truck.i worked out a deal.
So tools, truck and knowledge i put myself on google. 24hr, emergency roadsode Mobile Mechanic, automobile lockout extraordinaire. I hit up yelp, made a quick website, fb profile, did some keyword research, used the free google tools and off i went. I answered every call responded to every review and made sure every review was 5 stars. Within 2 months I was first on the SERP and was getting 3-5 calls a day on average. (Sidenote I did that 2 more times with viop numbers now Im top 3 on google in my area )
Once business started rolling cards was a must have form.of paycents. I started with square. But they froze my account numerous times and was costing me business and missing me off. They asked for information that I believed want there business so I sent them a Pic of SpongeBob shoulder shrugging instead of the requested docs and they closed my account. Next was stripe. They're the worst. Because of the situation with square. I requested that stripe vet me before they started processing my payments. They told me that they would never hold any of my payments cause I was already verified and proceeded to hold every single payment. 2 for 2 weeks. I hate stripe. They do bad business. Next was Lopay. Whom I really liked. They weren't like stripper square, they did instant cash outs.I like them a lot but they closed my account, i believe.
It was because I processed one credit card three times in one day. But it was twice for parts for the guy and once to pay me when I was done.
Either way I'm sitting here with out a method with charges ready to get charged from a job today. Im sick of big brother. I want to.... no I will process my own charges. Im looking for a suite of tools that would allow me to do so. I don't care about the government anti blah blah blah laws or whatever. Im not doing anything illegal and imma pay my taxes (or write them off). Does anybody know of a app or anything that will allow me to do that? And tricks or tips? Thank you in advance.
