The clientele here is pretty rough. In the service requests section, you'll find that a majority of the people just want something for practically nothing and will completely take advantage of you if you give them the chance. if you're going to get in this business, keep a good attorney on retainer. These guys LOVE to get your good hard work, and as soon as you deliver it, they charge back your fee, leaving you with nothing. I have an attorney who specializes in internet fraud, and he doesn't work cheap
When you do finally win these chargebacks after you prove that you've done the work, they'll just turn around and post libelous statements about you, and even go as far as to PM others (because they have nothing better to do with their days) trying to get them not to work with you.
I hate to sound so negative, but these are things you must consider before getting into this business.

Sounds like you have had quite a bit of these problems. Gee, I wonder why? Have you ever not delivered on a schedule? Have you ever been paid for something you did not accomplish as agreed?
