I've never used Tinder because I don't have Facebook.

(And also because I'm married.)

Thanks, Obama!

Calmer than you are, dude.

Would you consider making a subscription candle service? I burn candles all day every day it would be awesome not to need to lug them from the store every week.

Technologically speaking, you'd need a shopping cart or web software that could support a subscription purchase and recurring billing. Business wise, I imagine it's a matter of coming up with a few plans of various quantities or frequencies. And perhaps a couple different options for "scent families". (I prefer woody and manly as opposed to fruity.)

Recurring shipment (aka "continuity sales model") businesses can be very, very lucrative (remember BMG and Columbia House?). But I'd suggest doing it up right and having an email notification before each shipment with a one-click way to skip that shipment. Otherwise you can be plagued by chargebacks.

I've thought about this a lot while... burning. Almost considered setting it up but, alas, I have techno and business experience but no candle experience.

Keep up the good work and thanks for the AMA!
