It's because you can get 12 full meals for 2-3 bucks , that people associate it with poverty or cheap college students. Food that's dirt cheap. Originally Posted by cr76Yes,that's the point.

Put into reasonable perspective ,you would create a piss poor comparison in my view, if to showcase dire poverty, you said you were "eating ramen."
As a provider who has been in the bizz for quite a while, I can offer you this advice, get an llc for your business, file your taxes, and open you up an Edwards Jones account. Clean up your credit, and begin to save your money in a savings account.I would not be advertising those facts....if they can prove the money you saved is from ill gotten gain, they can confiscate it.
I went legit almost 3 years ago, and I couldn't be happier... I decided to save as much money as I can because I want to buy a house, save to retire among other things I want to do.
It is never good to spend all you make, because one never knows if tomorrow you can make it over again.
Also being the best provider you can be helps, give great consistent service.
Just some sage advice from a lady who was in your shoes once, long ago.

Alas, review specials are rarely a good idea to begin with, but for an established provider who has been on ECCIE a while, it's a horrible tactic, one that doesn't speak well to reputation and actually calls MORE attention to the negative reports. Everyone makes mistakes. You have to move past the bad experiences and rededicate yourself to optimism and improvement. Rethink your presentation of yourself if your current marketing tactics aren't working.
I sincerely wish you much Irish luck today.
