Welcome to the Flip Lifestyle Podcast, where life always comes before work.

We're your host, Shane and Jocelyn Sams.

Join us each week as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside down by selling stuff online.

Are you ready for something different?

All right, let's get started.

Hey guys. Thanks for joining us for today's Q&A mini podcast. We are answering questions from you

on this short podcast two times a week. So if you have a question for us, head on over to the

Flip Lifestyle Facebook page at

Facebook.com slash FlipLifestyle. And we will check it out and maybe answer it on a future show.

Today's question is from Travis Clay. And Travis would like to know what kind of computer

did you use when you first started? Do I really need a higher power computer or a Mac? And why did you guys switch? When we started out, we used like very cheap computers. Like I had an ACER. I don't even know what the number was, but I had an ACER. Oh, 7200 maybe. Was that what it was? I have no idea. We had an A, it was $270 and I got it to Walmart. that's the first computer that we started our online business on or I started our first

websites on. And it was fine. I mean, you know, all you really need, 90% of your work is going to be done through a browser. We use the Chrome browser from Google. We love the Chrome browser. It has a lot of extensions that give it added functionality and it just works.

It's a lot better than using Internet Explorer or any of the other browsers out there.

And you really just need something that can do that.

Are you going to get into some things later?

Yeah, you're going to have to do some editing maybe of some audio or some video.

But most of your normal, you know, inexpensive computers that you can get from a department store

will do that. My Acer was fine. It worked great at first. And it really did everything that we needed to do.

What did you have when we first started out? I think we've had a lot of different kinds of computers.

The computer that I was using most recently before we switched was an HP. And I actually got it from a Black Friday sale.

That's a great time to shop for computers. There are two really good times that I've found to shop for

computers. One is during back to school time like in July. And the other one is at Black Friday.
