@UncleIroh I agree
I specifically started a service biz because I knew it would be easier to get off the ground.
Looking forward to your announcement!
Thanks! @UncleIroh
I see what you mean now.
It's a productized service so kind of a hybrid. Ex.
You get X deliverables per month for X $$.
It took alot of experimentation but I'm FINALLY getting some traction.
I would highly recommend starting your own even if it's just part time.
"Run a meetup for the last 7 years which is also a good PR exercise. "
Genius! I'm stealing that idea.
I'm having a hard time networking so that would be a great help
@VeganMGTOW That does sound like fun. Outside of the bullying of course.
Still hard for me to imagine a time where conservatives were in power
Just a few off the top of my head:
1. BEST resource start your company step-by-step (in USA):
llcuniverstiy.com
2. Keep your costs as low as you can until you're making $$.
My startup costs were about $500
3. Find a way to charge monthly because getting new clients is a hassle.
4. COMMIT. It took me about >350 proposals to get my 1st client.
5. Don't tell anyone about your biz when your start. People hate on what they don't understand.
Good luck!
Thanks! @[email protected]
As for #3 now that I've pivoted to a monthly service it's less of a grind now.
I wanted to be transparent with all the people saying starting a business is easy.
It may be easy to start a biz but client acquisition is TOUGH.
@UncleIroh I have a marketing company.
What separates me from my competitors is speed (thanks to AI) and customer service.
@Scubbie @UncleIroh Don't even go there!
What I like about having my own business:
1. NO VACCINE! 😃 Literally the reason why I started lol
2. I get to work whenever I want, with who I want, wherever I want.
So no more:
Envious/passive aggressive coworkers
Micromanaging
Pretending to work
3. People treat me with more respect.
4. Paid by project > hours.
What I don't like
1. Cheap/Retard ass clients
2. Taxes are a pain!
3. Prospecting - constantly sending proposals, getting ghosted and following up with leads can be a pain.
@Stahesh True.
Mass stabbings are crazy.
Are criminals that fast or are people in enclosed spaces they can't get out of?
Animations, memes, and philosophy.
ZERO TOLERANCE for:
TFM slander
LOW-IQ
