The Value of Expert Knowledge
My mom is starting a business and wants an e-commerce site put up. Simple enough I ordered a business package then waited for the order to be approved. Once it was I got into the account and assigned a dedicated IP address and changed the name servers on her domain to point to the new name servers. Then I downloaded Zen Cart and installed it, while doing that I also configured Spam Assassin, a couple of advanced rules for SA, an SPF record for the domain, and setup an e-mail account for her. I did it all on my lunch break.
I was realizing after I finished, that had if it been someone else it would have probably taken them a full day worth of waiting around with replies back and forth about what they wanted. I did all of it in about an hour.
Kind of crazy to think about. Then again I've been doing hosting support for a year now.
So here's to expert knowledge on a subject!
Now I get to learn how to skin Zen Cart. It really looks like you can make a killing if you know what you're doing (which really doesn't take much to get to that point).

You’re just the expert I need.

By the way, I registered a domain (cocreationequation.com) and selected a hosting package and tried to use you as a referral, but no matter what I did, it wouldn’t take your domain.
Bummer dude
