  The problem isn't that affiliate marketing doesn't work in India. It's that the infrastructure never existed. - Creators charge high upfront fees, but brands expect sales guarantees and don't pay - Creators don't trust brands to accurately attribute sales. See @AnshulGains rant - And until recently, there was no easy way to handle payouts, TDS compliance, attribution, fraud prevention, COD detection, and reporting at scale. The US got Stripe, PayPal, Impact, ShareASale, and 200 other softwares India only has @ReferRush

  1. Send a million emails a day 2. Growth hack DMs across every platform. 3. Launch free tools. 4. Model YouTubers in your niche. 5. Add a backend service to pump into paid ads. 6. Build in viral coefficients. 7. Recruit affiliates. 8. Create a community. 9. Get unique integrations that drive traffic. Could go on forever. The problem is, very few know anything about distribution.

  Just an FYI: @PayPal will not assist you with complaints against @zendocs. I have been enrolled in a monthly plan--I have no idea for what--and am being billed $39.95 a month by PayPal. The one time I need Paypal to actually back me up, I am told there is no problem. #Scam

  @DismasWaTabu Thays not true ,when you provide the right documents that they are asking you will never have problems with PayPal, they never ask for impossible documents, they will ask you for the documents you are supposed to be having if you want to continue using their services.

  @CashApp What does it do? I can't order one because you guys shut me down for transactions you allowed to FanDuel without giving me any warning whatsoever and you won't give me a second chance. Millions of dollars worth of transactions since 2014. You lost a huge customer to PayPal now.

  @SiliconSalvage My only reason for using Adobe is with their discounts. Without those, I am not bothering with $60/month. For several years they've made broken products. PayPal is quickly becoming a relic in light of crypto, BNPL, but will still stick around for now. AI chats replaced pinterest

  @yabaguu @CuppyCakiee So they removed stripe awhile back. People got upset about it. Then they added stripe back recently. I think it had something to do with tos and conflicts. Throne allowing NSFW items and funding probably didn't go well during the payment processor freak out if I had to guess. also a note on paypal. It can effect taxes at the end of the year to have any payouts go there. Like twitch, tips from other platforms and throne. Although i didn't know we could have it go to paypal for throne. Its not hard to fix if your tax person knows but you risk being taxed twice for that income. Purely speaking as a united state's living individual.

  @EtrnlYth130613 @OneInAnARMY I had the same issue! If you aren’t a UK resident, don’t pay in pounds if you’re using a cc - I did mine in USD. The requirement of paying in pounds is only if you want to use PayPal as the payment option, i believe!

  @ChrisAntonacci1 I received an invite to their wedding but apparently it says in the email that Dua asked me to paypal her $3,500 for the cake which she promised to return since she has issues with her banking. I don't have extra so I sent her my rent money.

  Copy of message to Stripe in US about closing an old account: That is the problem, the Oxyd Fianancial Corporation is registered, but you do decline the company, so CLOSE the account and give me my funds on that account, I use PayPal and trash the stripe system.

  PayPal integration is critical: payments failing means revenue lost. But PayPal's sandbox mostly covers happy paths. How do you test what happens when things go wrong? This Dev Proxy preset injects random PayPal API errors into your requests. The error responses are modeled after PayPal's official Postman collection, so they match what you'd see in production. Get started in 2 commands: devproxy config get paypal-random-errors devproxy Now your PayPal API calls randomly fail with realistic errors: authentication failures, invalid requests, resource not found, server errors. Each one uses PayPal's actual error structure, so your parsing code gets exercised with real-world formats. The randomness is the point. You're testing what happens when errors land where your code doesn't expect them. A payment intent fails mid-checkout, a refund request gets a 500, a customer update returns a 404. Run your checkout flow against this preset and watch what happens. Does your UI show a useful message? Does your backend retry or give up? Does your logging capture enough detail to debug later? Grab the preset and find the gaps in your error handling before a real payment fails. When did you last test your PayPal error handling?

  3 ways to turn $30K into $1M in the next crypto cycle. This is my second idea, and one I have a lot of faith in: $EXOD — Exodus Movement Inc. Exodus is no longer just a self-custody wallet. It is moving toward becoming a full crypto everything-app. It already has: Self-custody wallets Swaps for major crypto assets On-ramps and off-ramps Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, bank transfer and card options Debit card infrastructure Stablecoin/payment infrastructure Major wallet partnerships A long-term UFC payments sponsorship Plans to bring more financial products into the app They have also acquired companies that help them issue cards and support payment infrastructure for crypto businesses. That matters. Exodus is positioning itself to sit between self-custody, swaps, fiat rails, cards, stablecoins, payments, and eventually broader financial services. During the last cycle, Exodus shares traded as high as around $117. The current price is around $6.68. That means the stock would need to rise roughly 33x to reach $222 per share. A $30K investment at today’s price would buy roughly 4,490 shares. At $222, that position would be worth close to $1M. Is $222 unrealistic? Maybe. But remember: Exodus has already traded above $100 before, and the company is much bigger today than it was in the last cycle. Since then, Exodus has: Reported record annual revenue Expanded its product range Acquired payment/card infrastructure companies Signed a long-term UFC payments sponsorship Built relationships with major crypto platforms Integrated with wallets and platforms like MetaMask, Bitget Wallet, Ledger, Magic Eden and others with a combined 230 million users Built a stronger position as a self-custody and crypto infrastructure company Exodus reported $121M in revenue for 2025. If they can 4x revenue to around $500M in the next cycle, a $6.6B valuation would be around 13x revenue. That is not crazy for a fast-growing crypto infrastructure company in a bull market. Back in 2021, Exodus raised $75M at a much higher revenue multiple. The company is now larger, more developed, and has far more products and distribution. The bull case is simple: If crypto adoption grows, self-custody grows, swaps grow, stablecoin payments grow, and their partnerships start driving serious volume, Exodus could look massively mispriced at today’s valuation. I do not think the market is pricing in what Exodus is becoming. $EXOD is one of the most underpriced crypto-related equities I can find. At $6.68, I think the risk/reward over the next 3–4 years is extremely attractive.

  @MrKimmKE These sites are legit but slow. $5.47 from 8 surveys means ∼$0.68 per survey. Most people make $20-$50/month max if they’re active daily. Payout is usually via PayPal, PayPal, or gift cards once you hit $5-$10 minimum.
