Passion into cash
You can create a product that you're passionate about, find a couple like-minded friends to pay you for making awesome stuff, and enjoy the hell out of it while you do it all. Start it as a side project and turn it into your full-time gig.
Secure transactions
Forge uses 128-bit SSL connections when taking payment information. We never store any credit card information ever. We don't even see that secure information. Balanced handles it for us, and they're damn good at it.
