(I had paid off my car loan—yeah, and needed to get the lien holder name off my car title.) I had a phone…

The question I always get over and over and over again is—“How do I know what product to create?” This is an incredibly important questions and often hard to figure out and most of my clients before they worked with me used all sorts of Google algorithms and some even used the pasta method, which I wouldn’t recommend.
