| First month above breaking even! Posted: 25 Sep 2018 10:18 AM PDT I'm new on Reddit, but glancing to the right at the subreddit rules I don't think this is breaking any of them. I didn't realize it until last night, but this is the first month I'm above breaking even as a sole proprietor! It's only by a margin of a few hundred dollars, but it finally happened! Covered all of my expenses this month just from money generated through my clients. Really very little money made in general, but it feels good hitting this milestone. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 08:20 PM PDT Hey guys, I see this subreddit complain about the crazy amounts others seem to be making and want to share how I was successful in selling stuff but it couldnt be sustained when it did work. It has been a mix of selling random stuff around the house and then dipping in the alibaba side of things as you probably read about I sold t-shirts using that tee spring thing a couple years ago This was okay but most of my campaigns after the first 4-5 didnt make it. It was amazing to note that I had to email teespring just to ask them to change colors on the shirt - that's how new they were to the platform yet they made a killing with the viral marketing of the platform- great idea. I made a couple hundred with facebook ad targeting but eventually broke even after spending my earnings on ads. good intro to selling things on facebook but otherwise a waste of time. Dress shirts that I bought on sale from popular companies retail arbitrage. Buy low sell high. Okay for some brands but not a sustainable way of making money. I have some nice shirts laying around still. Buy out of season stuff and sell it on ebay. Make great money on a shirt to shirt basis Buying markers/pens and ink from alibaba a $1000 invest brought me about $5000 in sales but it took almost 1.5 years. This was on ebay and amazon. The market is very niche and shipping was killing me. Eventually the sales went from several a day to once a week to nothing now. I still have a few boxes around the basement but made my investment back so dont care. I also noticed that the people from those countries literally stole all my pics and when i complained they told me they found the pics on "google". They beat me on price and somehow made money after shipping it globally. not china btw amazon affiliates overall lost money and time. My websites werent really that great and I wasnt doing anything to compete with the mega reviewers. Even the big names are using affiliates to make money and they have entire staff to do real reviews. You need some money to start this the right way and I dont have thousands to spend on 15 different vacuum cleaners to make individual reviews. overall I think a high paying job with option of overtime has better return compared to the average hustle. Nothing beats a good business but I have a hard time believing someone bought stuff from alibaba and is making 10k a month selling them. not these days. The main guys are making a killing selling software to even find niches on these online retailers. This isnt different from people making money selling wordpress plugins and templates. The logistics of buying material,having it shiped, packed,labelled, shipped again,sold is very time consuming and expensive. the cheapest postage for first class mail is almost 3 bucks now and if you add the mailers and tape and runs to the post office for small stuff you sell <$15 , it doesnt really make a lot of sense. You forget to mention the time you invest which has a dollar value too. anyway good luck bros. I forgot to mention that I paid $1200 for leather goods from pakistan and that ass sent me the wrong colors with no labels. total waste. I also learned that many of the people on alibaba arent manufacturers themselves and are middle men. this guy ran out of money and was asking for more business. the nerve [link] [comments]  |
| Today is my first day, will update my progress! Posted: 25 Sep 2018 07:42 AM PDT Today I am going out to start my window cleaning business.

| Posted: 25 Sep 2018 03:33 AM PDT In June of last year, I basically hit rock bottom. Everything around me just collapsed from my degree, to my job, and even my social life - it all just came crashing down, and I had to move states to sleep on my best friend's couch. I'd always gone through resets - building my plans and my future, then having my feet kicked out from under me... but usually, I always just got back up and re-navigated. But this time, the fall just felt to steep, and I didn't feel mentally able to go through another reset. I don't have a family. My mum passed away 10 years ago, and she was all I had. It's just me, and the constant failures havnt been easy to continue coming back from. I took a cold, hard look at the life around me - having almost hit 30 years old, and realised that the next step I take would be make or break for me... I couldn't keep doing what I was doing, something needs to change, and I would do anything, even if it literally killed me in the process to change the course of my life. And while I was job hunting from my friends house, on my last few hundred dollars, with no family, no security to go back to if I didn't find a source of income soon, a last minute door opened out of nowhere for me to teach English in China. I took it in a heart beat, and two weeks later, I was in Beijing working. This was one year ago. Since then, iv done nothing but grind. I work 8am to 9pm 6 days a week. Since being here, iv been sick, got chickenpox, caught nasty viruses, been exploited by companies here, lost a ton of weight, and just absolutely hammered myself to come back to Australia with something to show and prove. My goal has been to save up enough money to send back to Australia and purchase my first investment property. I have a mentor in Australia who has a large portfolio of houses and properties, as well as owning a chain of gyms and OrangeTheory sites. He's also a good friend... so naturally, he took on a mentorship role after I called him one night from my apartment in Beijing telling him that I'll do whatever it takes to achieve success.. that I'd do anything short of selling drugs or selling my ass to get what I need to change my future. So here's what he told me: He broke down the property investment options to me and we both decided that this was the best way for me to achieve financial wealth during the next 10 years. He quoted me 40,000k to buy into the Australian market, and we set our sites to purchase 3-5 properties over the next 3 years. In this time, my job was simple - to just fucking work my ass off to get this first deposit. And this is exactly what iv done since July of last year. This is my goal. It's what I want. And iv been driven like a maniac to achieve it. Here's where it gets interesting... so far, I'm on track to save 35k by January 2019. And three days ago, I found out that my estranged half uncle recently passed away and left me 20k that bipassed my deceased mum straight to me... it came out of nowhere. Its literally 6 month of savings, straight into my pocket. I cried some tears of joy, and thanked my mum and uncle for handing this down to me. And now according to what I believed, Id have enough money now to purchase my first house and gain a door into the investment world after a few more months of work here.. However, after contacting a broker that my mentor passed on to me, as well as some other professionals to liaison with, I'm being told that I don't qualify for home ownership because I'm not working in, and my money has not been earned in Australia... not only that, but that instead of 40-50k house deposit, I'm being told that it's 125k + for a house over 500k... After receiving this new information, I feel like I'm verging on to another collapse and reset. I'm panicking that my entire time here has been empty calories financially, and I'm anxious that the money I'm saving has no leverage or real use in Australian investing... if this is the case, and I'm not eligible to purchase property, then what the fuck do I do now? In the end of the day... I have about 50k to do something with. If I can't invest in a property, then what are my options? But more importantly, how do I stay locked in? How do I keep the same drive that iv had over this last year, and keep seeing the finish line in front of me? I saw it, and saw it, and saw it, every time I got paid here because I knew it brought me one step close to my goal of being a home owner. But now that finish line has completely disappeared, and I have no idea now what I'm aiming for... How do I use that kind of money to take care of my future and find financial success? How do I maintain my killer instinct and drive to succeed? [link] [comments]  |

| What should I do with www.jdw.com? Posted: 25 Sep 2018 01:45 PM PDT What should I do with www.jdw.com? I get over 2k hits from China every day with no content posted. I'm not interested in selling the domain name. [link] [comments]  |
| AliBaba Manufacturer for Custom Clothing Posted: 25 Sep 2018 01:24 PM PDT I am starting my own clothing brand. I have some experience ordering things on AliBaba and dealing with factories in China, but I have a couple of questions. (1) I want extremely high quality clothing. I can ship the factory samples, I just want to make sure they don't cut any corners. For that reason, I'm happy to pay a higher sample fee and higher price per piece when it comes to the actual orders, but I need to know the quality won't suffer. Sometimes it's hard to know with clothing how high quality a piece is until it's been worn for a decent amount of time. (2) I found a manufacturer on AliBaba that agreed to do some custom samples. My question is- is it better sometimes to use a manufacturer who isn't on the 1st page of search results? I worry that they are so big that they don't care enough about the small companies like mine, and won't pay attention to the quality I need. (3) I had already shipped some samples to this particular factory in June via USPS. The tracking information stopped when it said it left the port in the USA, and then I heard no update, and it never seemed to arrive in China. I assumed it was lost, then yesterday (more than 3 months later) the package was returned to me at home- no reason was given, just a sticker that said it had to be returned, but none of the options (not enough postage, incorrect address, etc.) were checked on the sticker. It was a Chinese sticker, so it must have been denied at entry? I used an Express shipping company once when I was selling on Amazon, but I found that small packages like samples were extremely expensive through them, whereas larger bulk orders were cheaper than USPS. Thanks for any input! [link] [comments]  |
| Advantages and disadvantages of a PLLC vs. PC Posted: 25 Sep 2018 01:11 PM PDT Hello all! My wife is a licensed Speech Language Pathologist and is interested in starting her own private practice, here in New York. We were debating whether to establish the business as a PLLC or PC. To be honest, we're sort of unsure what the difference is. Anybody have any feedback? Any within NY specifically? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Sep 2018 01:06 PM PDT I was recently given an assignment in my entrepreneurship class in which I have to interview an entrepreneur that has found some success. Since I was struggling to find available entrepreneurs, I was hoping that I could find someone here. The interview would likely take around half an hour. Just PM me or comment with a few details about your business and hopefully we can schedule a time where we can talk. Thanks everyone [link] [comments]  |
| How to launch a custom sticker pack for your community Posted: 25 Sep 2018 01:01 PM PDT Last week we launched a custom sticker pack for our website MoonlightWork.com. I just wrote a retro, which I'm cross-posting from our site. I hope it can help you, including our cost breakdown and tools we used! --- Last week we launched the Remote Work Sticker Pack on Product Hunt. The pack features thirteen illustrated stickers inspired by remote work culture. After the launch, clients and friends asked us how they could launch stickers of their own! This guide covers everything you need to know - including designing a sticker pack, where to print it, fulfillment basics, and how to launch it. While we sold enough stickers to about cover our costs, the main goal was to draw more users to Moonlight. We were able to launch something new, get traffic to our website, and drive brand awareness. This traffic resulted in a lot of new Moonlight signups, which we hope will lead to new recurring business! Plus, now we have stickers to send as gifts to clients and developers. Check out the Remote Work Store on Moonlight, and use the code BLOGFAN to get half off of your own sticker pack! Design and inspirationWhile Emma was visiting her old graduate school earlier this year, she saw a talented design student named Maria Diodati present her work. Her illustration style fits the Moonlight brand, so Emma hired her as a contractor. We started developing some unique illustrations to use on our website. Once we were happy with the style, we decided to make a sticker pack! Moonlight sells to developers and companies interested in remote work. So, we thought that this would be an excellent opportunity to take a stance, make something fun, and engage our target audience. Emma and I brainstormed a list of witty ideas about remote work and sent them to Maria. We asked her to pick a few of her favorites and illustrate them. The goal was to make something that people think of as positive and funny. We wanted to build some brand recognition beyond the logo and name. We took Maria's original illustrations and provided some specific feedback for five rounds of revisions. We gave feedback on brand, style, and copy for Maria to iterate. If you want to start designing stickers for your product or community, you can hire Maria directly through her profile, or browse other graphic designers on Moonlight! 📷 Store and fulfillmentWe used Shopify to build the store and manage all orders. It's an all-inclusive piece of software that automates everything from checkout to printing shipping labels. We decided to add the Remote Work Store as a page on our main website, rather than host the site on a separate domain. The goal was to boost the search engine rankings of the main site, and keep all visuals aligned with the brand. Plus, it let us reuse our existing analytics and marketing tools, such as Google Analytics for measuring success and Adroll for retargeting. Logistically, we used the Shopify BuyButton.js to embed the store into our site. It's more complicated than having Shopify host the whole store, but is easier to deploy than the Shopify JS Buy SDK. We embedded the products in a page, turned off iframe configuration, and modified the designs using CSS. Using only BuyButton.js allowed us to pay for the cheapest plan of Shopify, Lite, which cost only $9/mo. Setting up the store within our existing website did take a few days of development time. If you want to use Shopify's site builder, you can skip the code complexity and host on a subdomain (e.g. store.YOURWEBSITE.com.) Or, find a Javascript developer on Moonlight to help you out! StickersWe ordered an initial run of 100 sticker packs through Sticker Mule. Logistically, we chose to print them as sticker sheets rather than individual stickers. This made them cheaper to order, and easier to fulfill. Once we purchased the order, Sticker Mule worked with us to verify the final layout and order. We also ordered transfer stickers of the Moonlight logo to include in every order. Transfer stickers are sleek, minimal, and durable! If you need help setting up Shopify or BuyButton.js, find a Shopify expert on Moonlight for help!
Extra products: shirts, hats, prints, and more!In addition to stickers, we used Printful to add some additional gear to our store - such as hats, t-shirts, and prints. We chose the products we wanted to offer and configured illustrations using the Printful website. Printful handles the rest: It generates the products, adds them to Shopify, and automatically prints and ships new orders from the store. There is no inventory, upfront costs, or minimum order size - so it's an easy way to extend any store with more items! Supplies for shipping stickersEnvelopes: We ordered 4.25"x6.25" envelopes, which were just slightly larger than the stickers. We chose a cardboard-like paper envelope to protect the stickers while keeping shipping costs low. Thank you cards: Because this sticker pack is as much of a brand building exercise as an opportunity for revenue, we also printed "thank you" cards to include in every order. They include a link to our Instagram, where we plan to feature more photos of people's remote workspaces! Label printer: We ordered a DYMO LabelWriter 4XL Thermal Label Printer to print shipping labels. It integrates with Shopify closely. So, all we had to do was buy the pre-paid label on Shopify, click "Print" on the order, put it on the stuffed envelope, and drop it in the USPS box. 📷 FulfillmentWe're currently on the road, so we recruited Emma's brother to package stickers and mail them for us. We used Moonlight's software to hire him as a contractor, track hours, and pay him for hours worked. Preparing for launchTo have potential customers find our landing page, we needed to launch! We assembled a document with all of the core information a week ahead of time. Because we finalized all copy ahead of time, it was easy to copy and paste text to each platform or community during launch day. We set up Product Hunt Ship to collect sign-ups and schedule the launch post. We included 50% off codes, which created a sense of urgency for people to purchase. We priced the pack at $10, but most people ended up paying $5 after a coupon code. In our launch doc, we wrote the following things ahead of time:
We schedule as much as possible - such as tweets and emails - ahead of time. Finally, we set up Zapier to post in Slack every time somebody places a new order. This helps us track progress, and know when we need to take an action. LaunchBecause of all of the preparation work that we do ahead of time, launch day is pretty easy! We posted to Product Hunt at the beginning of the day (about 7 AM PT), then promoted through our network and different channels throughout the day. Cost breakdown
TOTAL COST: $1,505.35 Other ideasHere are some other ideas to improve your sticker pack launch:

| Need some users (Must be B2B) for a pre-launch. Any takers? Posted: 25 Sep 2018 12:26 PM PDT Obviously, I'm not going to charge you anything. I'm looking for companies who are in the B2B space, and could use more leads/warm conversations. I've been in email marketing for a looong time, and am about to launch (in November). I already have a few big deals from past clients that take place early 2019, but I am looking for a few of you to use it and give me feedback on the UI. If you like the service, I'm simply asking for a google & crunchbase review of the product. PM and we can have a quick call and I'll introduce you to the platform. I'm looking for just 3-4 people for now. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| What's the most "hands-off" way to create and sell merch online? (Tshirts, phone cases, etc.) Posted: 25 Sep 2018 12:21 PM PDT I'm working on a website in a pretty niche market, and I want to avoid putting advertisements on it not only because i dislike ads, but also due to the nature of the niche (very anti-advertising). So I'm thinking the best route to keep the lights on would be to sell tshirts and other small trinkets. I have some web dev experience, so I could probably figure out how to implement a payment system, but I'm wondering if there's anything out there that could do everything (payments, creating products with my designs, and handling shipping) for me easier for a cost instead. I understand that if something like this does exist, it's going to eat the majority of any profit from the item, but I'm not really concerned about maximizing profit with this project. I'm more concerned about having time to continue improving my site than making more money on tshirts. However, if what I'm asking for above is unrealistic, I'm not opposed to getting my hands dirty. I have a friend who runs a local print shop, so that's probably a good place to start in terms of getting the shirts made, and shipping I could handle. But I'd still be interested in hearing about good options for handling payments on my site. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Sep 2018 11:46 AM PDT I have lots of passions and I have been trying to figure out how to turn those passions into a business concept. However, I can't visualize any of my ideas as a viable business concept. I desperately want to be an entrepreneur but I can't seem to make it happen. I am fine not having a new and innovative concept. I would be completely fine with starting a business, providing an existing service/product, and doing that better or differently than others. Any advice on where I go from here? Any advice is appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Where to find frozen puff pastry distributors? Posted: 25 Sep 2018 11:42 AM PDT My company manufactures frozen puff pastries. We currently supply locally. We been looking to expand this product for quite some time but couldn't find any distributors outside our province. We are located in Canada and we have the manufacturing power to do way more than we currently do. Anyone has experience or information to help out a fellow entrepreneur? [link] [comments]  |

| Advice for becoming a part owner of an existing business Posted: 25 Sep 2018 11:23 AM PDT A friend of mine bought an online business for $200k around 6 months ago, not knowing much about e-commerce. He has 75% ownership, and has a partner with 25% ownership. The main owner doesn't know much about e-commerce, and is struggling with running Facebook Ads, AdWords, etc, to drive revenue. This has been my career for the past 7 or so years. He's offered me an ownership stake of between 15% to 20% to come in, run advertising, and improve the digital aspects of the business. I would receive monthly profit percentage and equity. I would not have to put any money into the business, unless we're at a negative cashflow for a given month (they are still cashflow positive), in which case I would need to contribute based off my percentage of ownership. Besides the cost of my time, I don't see a ton of downside. However, I have never done this before and want to perform due diligence before jumping into things. Any advice would be great!

| A formula to grow your email list if you're a startup with no $ Posted: 25 Sep 2018 11:13 AM PDT If you're struggling to grow your email audience, read this and/or watch the video below. I did it once with my previous startup, and now I did it again with my new startup. I grew an email list from 0 to 300 subscribers in a week. Without spending a dime. This may seem like peanuts for some of the viral stars on Facebook and LinkedIn, but for most of us – startups and SMBs, this is big. We did a survey of 50 startups, and half of them have a list size between 0 and 500 subscribers. Worst, some of these companies have been in business and have prominent lead captures on their websites! First: Why you should build an email list?If you're getting a lot of traffic from social media and communities, this means that you will never have a chance to talk the majority of your audience twice. At Encharge.io we have an average visitor to email subscriber conversion rate of 15%. 15% is pretty solid! Yet, this means that we don't capture 85% of that audience. I know of gurus having more than 40% this is an exception.A lot of the blogs I know convert at some horrendous rates like 1%. If you're not doing your best to grow a community (with your email list, Facebook leads, etc.) you're not giving your company a chance to grow. So how to grow an email list to 300+ subscribers in a week? Predictably and without spending cash. I have a simple formula:
Let's break this down. 1) Write authentic and valuable contentFirst of all what is NOT authentic and valuable content? - something that you create to rank on search engines Let's imagine your best friend or closed one (wife, parent, child) ask you for your advice. - What is the type of message you would convey to them? You would probably avoid stuffing your message with "SEO keywords." Instead, you will do your best to share the information that you genuinely believe will make them more successful. 2) Create content upgradesContent upgrades are an expansion of your content piece that delivers even more value. - an eBook This is how you're going to capture your email audience. 3) Promote your contentA lot of people forget the marketing in content marketing. They do 2 things: - publish a post and pray it will do well I design a promotion strategy for each of my posts. I have a "Content promotion" list on my content calendar that is broken down into promotion projects. For example: Re-publish the article on Medium. Promote on Quu, Promote in Facebook groups, etc. And I spend a majority of my time promoting the content piece. Good content promotion = traffic Good content upgrades/bribes = email conversions Watch the video here. And you can access the content calendar here (no opt-in required). Let me know how you grow your email list? [link] [comments]  |
| [ HELP ] Running an Online Store on IG. Need some Ideas. Posted: 25 Sep 2018 11:07 AM PDT I made an online shop in Instagram selling only to the residents of U.A.E ( United Arab Emirates ). I need some help on the delivery field. I want to gain trust on my customers without exposing my identity. Also products which I sell are to be shipped according to the orders I get. Since I don't have much capital, Here's what I am planning to do : 1. Get advance cash and tell them to wait a week or two (till the product gets shipped here) . 2. Employ a friend in delivering. P.S I might be very bad at explaining this so please cooperate. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Looking to put a little more polish into my small side business. need advice Posted: 25 Sep 2018 06:47 AM PDT I work full time in IT but do local computer repair and home/small business tech support on the side. I had a lot more time back in 2013 and 2014 when I did it more, had a dozen or so regular customers. Have since dropped off since I graduated college, bought a house, got a good full-time (50+hrs/week) job and got married. I'd like to devote a little more time/effort to my business now, but not so much that it overwhelms my work/life balance. This is what I've accomplished so far:
image of business card. no Dox pls
I have a couple of difficulties that I'd like to get some guidance on.
I consider myself pretty well versed in office products such as the MS Office Suite and G Suite. I recently signed myself up for a CRM tool in Google Sheets and will start keeping my client data there. I would also like to look a little more professional with my invoices and work orders but I'm not sure where to start. As for payment methods, I've taken cash/checks in the past but I'd like to start accepting Google Pay, Paypal or Venmo. Since I haven't gone too crazy with advertising, I don't expect too much revenue. Not enough to consider going through the process of making myself a LLC but is there any tax stuff I need to be careful with? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Sep 2018 10:28 AM PDT Hello I'm a 16 yo Who is giving some school explanations in order to get some money for braces, and I'm doing at really cheap prices like 3,50€ (people normally charge 17€ , but im a kid and I haven't even gone through high school yet ) , I know i can teach people , I have straight A's in all of my classes and I also made some really good marketing , a lot of people shared it and Over 2000 thousand persons watched it , the thing is... I'm not getting any clients and I could only find 2 reasons why : 1- They don't trust me , since I'm a 16 yo 2- School has only started last week so they might feel like they don't need it What should I do to get clients?
