When you typing in forum, you don't proof read it and make it sound professional and perfect .

If you retain around 70% and earn twice or three times ur daily rate then why else would you do it if it is not for money and flexibility
But your maths is impossible - how do you earn two or three times your daily rate?Leave a comment:
