Sorry if you've been asked this before, but how do you get started working in, as you said, weird quasi-startups?

This is a history retelling, not advice, because the world I came up in doesn't exist anymore. I'm in my 40s and started in the '90s.

If you skim over all of this WATCH THE VIDEO AT THE END HERE IS A LINK TO SAID VIDEO IT IS A CONDENSED VERSION OF IT from a local design firm.

The video is not a rick roll. This one is though.

Now I hope you can trust me. This is a long post. I'll use HACKERS to break it up.

I have no connection to Coudal.

Or Rick Astley.

I get into the nitty-gritty Small Scale Stuff

Jim Coudal gets into the nitty-gritty of the Medium-to-Large Scale Stuff... in 2011. The basics remain the same.

I am realizing in linking this that I don't think Coudal Partners exists anymore? I think they shifted their entire focus to Field Notes notebooks?

Anyway, still relevant.

(No -- 1994... and... maybe a bit earlier I can't remember that far back)

As I say -- this is history, not advice -- I'll try to pepper in some advice.

In some ways that's bad (Flash animation used to pay really well when weighed against what it took to learn how to do it).

In some ways that's good (things like Stripe and BigCartel and Shopify and MailChimp and Tumblr exist).

I was an anxious, studious kid really into mythology with very little access to it. I had access to the internet for about 6-8 hours a week, so scrambled to cram as much into my brain as I could. A reminder this is the early to mid 1990s.

I realized at some point that websites could be built without special tech. I explicitly remember seeing a web hosting company have a late night television ad on Conan O'Brian, offering a few megabytes of space free.

I learned HTML.

Then CSS launched, and I learned CSS.

(...yeah, this... this was the '90s)

From there I learned Macromedia Flash (later Adobe Flash) because it could do things I couldn't do with programming -- because of my own limitations, the web's limitations, free server limitations... etc.

I learned Flash the same way I learned HTML and CSS -- taking things apart to see how they worked, making my own stuff, breaking things down (and just breaking things)

At some point I was able to secure my own computer + internet and just hammered things constantly until I had a grasp of the basics.

So with that technical background...

"I am a web designer, do you need a website?" I would just offer up. Friends on forums, people in shops, a few cold calls that didn't work out great because I'm not a talkative person.

Just. Constantly. Networking.

Which is an accurate but kinda useless term, right?

"How does one network, does one just shove business cards into the face of everyone they meet and say 'I am a business person'"?

...yes.

Diners, comic shops, tattoo parlors, independent restaurants.

To illustrate the differences of when I started versus today -- any time I went somewhere that didn't have a website, I would ask the person behind the counter --

"Hey are you thinking about launching a website?"

When it wasn't the owner/manager at the counter and they would say something like "I just work here," I'd ask for the manager's contact info to follow up.

The success rate of "I ask" versus "I get money out of this" was maybe 1%. Just constantly asking, constantly trying to build the business books.

Never taking things personally when ghosted or just ignored or it fell through.

Cool but it's 2023/2024... so... the second half of my story may help.

I eventually gathered up enough clients and student loans to go to school for design. I have mixed opinions on this.

I had a few teachers who needed Extremely Cheap Intern-Level Labor and I was able to parlay my web experience into these opportunities.

I learned print design, branding, color theory, the basics of art in school.

I learned better business models by doing business and fucking up and getting burned and taking notes on how to fuck up less and get burned less the next go-round.

I applied for an ad agency job and hacked their website to rebuild it to show I could build websites and they were like "okay well we have to hire you now because we're in love with you / we fucking hate you"

(both emotions at the same time) (I worked there 11 months then went to grad school / see above art school link, it also applies)

Great thanks but maybe get back to advice?

I made things. I still make things.

Pins, buttons, shirts, bridge models, a chair, a lamp, I hired blacksmiths to learn about blacksmithing, I traded logos for beer, a theater company needed artwork so I engaged in a multi-prong trade of theater tickets and candy and / and / and / and with various other friends / clients / non-sense makers.

I made things and if people didn't have money to pay for them, I took some of their product.

Sometimes I paid other people with that product for things I needed, sometimes I paid with my labor for things I needed... etc.

Kept doing that until I could leverage skills acquired against people with money. Meeting them the same way.

"Hey who does your website?"

"Hey who does your menu design?"

"I like your logos, do you have someone working on your brochures? Oh you hate your logo? Okay to be honest... I was using that as an opening line. I hate it too. Want to chat about redoing it?"

I fucked up a lot. I got burned a lot. There was more success than failure so I was able to keep going.

Modern Day Translations

A lot of that will work -- build a portfolio, keep it updated, if someone mentions they are launching a whatever, chat with them -- but also look at freelance agencies.

If you work for trade, then scale the work offered for the product received. Don't be afraid to say "nope, out of scope."

People who will take +50% of the commission but help you find the commissions and handle the tax paperwork.

Ultimately, the basics are the same.

Make stuff. Put it into a portfolio.

Get comfortable introducing yourself.

Learn not to take rejection personally.

Keep going. The number of clients I would get on the first project discussion was probably 5-10%. It would take an average of 18-24 months, average, before I'd get money out of people. MEGA EMPHASIS -- A LOT OF -- MEGA EMPHASIS "hey remember me? I didn't have budget before, but now I do!"

By "make stuff" I mean.

Stuff.

(Things I have actually made)

Websites, blogs, writing, temporary tattoos, posters, ads, animations, plush toys, paintings, poems, books, rubber stamps, ads, grocery store packaging.

A whirlwind of stuff.

"That sounds expensive and difficult"

Yes. That's the bad news. There is no magic solution to it aside from "be careful with your time and cash and contracts and good luck."

I am not a soft person who is going to promise you everything is going to be okay and if you just work hard enough then things will work out and if you're talented enough then money and clients and business will come to you.

The brutal reality is it is going to be extremely difficult for as long as you do it and my #1 piece of advice is "constantly evaluate if you would find more happiness in a traditionally structured job doing weird stuff on the side."

It is absolutely possible to make a weird job.

It gets easier if you have financial support from family and/or a partner who will help you survive the lean times. I mention this in the spirit of honesty -- a lot of folks with weird jobs had/have one, or both.

In my opinion, this isn't talked about enough, and it leads to this mystic "This person must be doing well and I can't get off the ground, ergo something is wrong with me / my work / my process / my..." -- not necessarily.

Right, wrong, or indifferent -- some people have extra-to-their-personal resources help that allows them to make stuff. More, bigger, and/or faster.

I had the advantage of starting 30 years ago when the talent pool was smaller and harder to find and the work was harder to understand by people who were hiring.

Take what you have and try to make more of it being careful to spend as little as you can with it as it grows.

That's the essence of business.

Everything else is salad dressing.

SO MANY WORDS

I'll wrap up:

Start small and affordable

Figure out how to keep going when you want to stop but can keep going

Figure out how to stop when you want to keep going, but can't

Figure out how to start again when you have to stop

This isn't a moral or ethical dilemma -- it's business.

Cold, hard, ruthless business.

"Does it make sense to continue putting resources into this? Yes? Keep going.

"No? Pause.

"It never will make sense? Do this as a hobby, possibly an extensive and advanced hobby, possibly as 'this is my job in the sense I spend my resources here and the tasks I do for a company for money are life maintenance, on par with brushing my teeth."

Never work for free. Barter to a level mutual benefit.

If you want to work with other people, build a portfolio and keep it stocked with the stuff you want to do. Make up your own projects from literal scratch.

Most of the time, real work is better than personal work

BUT personal work is always better than no work.

This is cross-sectional -- if you want to make logos, it's better to show real work logos.

If you don't have any, make personal work logos and fold these into real work brochures, which you WILL DO but DONT WANT TO DO, as you build your logo business.

As your logo business builds up, replace real work logos + keep personal work logos and reduce brochures until you have enough (of either form) of logos to just have a logo portfolio.

Here is that video from Jim Coudal again talking about his (former?) design firm, Coudal Partners, and how it evolved to partner to create Field Notes

A final disclaimer:

I do not know Jim Coudal, I've never worked with him or FIeld Notes, they don't know I exist in any capacity. His projects are significantly larger than anything I have the appetite to tackle (I like small, weird things nearly exclusively)

This video + countless similar talks helped me build me up to where i am with advice, ideas, and the strength to get through the invariable weird / hard times.

Good news! My merch order from Vograce has arrived and all the new charms and stickers I designed look amazing! They will all be for sale at Anime ID 2024 on July 6th and 7th! Here are some blurry photos to pique your interests!

Bad news! Etsy has been ignoring my emails for almost five months. I've emailed them probably seven or eight times with no results - it seems they're simply unhappy with my storefront for unknown and unexplained reasons. I'm looking at other options right now, like bigcartel and shopify, but I don't know if I'd be seeing as much success on those places as I would be on Etsy.

I feel kind of stuck right now - I have a ton of cute designs, with nowhere to sell them. If anyone has advice please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm very new to this.

The Best Online Side Hustles Through Which I Can Increase MyIncome

Finding the best online side hustles can be a game-changer for boosting your income. Let me share some solid options based on facts and personal experiences.

Side hustles online are a fantastic way to earn extra cash, and the beauty lies in the variety of options available. Let's explore a few based on proven stats and personal insights.

One of the side hustles I've found quite rewarding is freelancing. Platforms like Upwork or Fiverr offer a broad range of opportunities—from writing and graphic design to programming and virtual assistance. According to a report by Freelancer com, freelancers in tech and writing fields can earn around $30-$50 per hour on average, depending on their skills and expertise.

Another lucrative avenue is affiliate marketing. By promoting products or services and earning commissions on sales, it's a flexible way to make money. The Affiliate Marketing Benchmark Report by Awin suggests that the affiliate marketing industry is growing steadily, with 81% of brands leveraging this method to boost sales.

If you're into creating content, YouTube or blogging can be a fantastic side hustle. YouTubers, for example, make money through ads, sponsorships, and merchandise sales. Statista reports that the highest-paid YouTuber earned $29.5 million in 2023, showcasing the earning potential in this field.

Moreover, tapping into the booming e-commerce industry via platforms like Shopify or Etsy could be another avenue. With global e-commerce sales projected to hit $6.4 trillion by 2024 (Statista), selling products online can be profitable if you find a niche and market it well.

However, choosing the right side hustle depends on your skills, interests, and dedication. What works for one person might not be the best fit for another.

To sum it up, in the realm of online side hustles, the opportunities are vast. Freelancing, affiliate marketing, content creation, and e-commerce are among the top options backed by statistics and personal experiences. Ultimately, finding the best fit requires considering your strengths, interests, and commitment level. Remember, success often stems from dedication, continuous learning, and adapting to market trends in the online space.

This article explores the costs associated with hiring a Shopify expert in 2024, helping you make an informed decision.

Understanding Shopify Experts A Shopify expert is a professional skilled in building, designing, and optimizing Shopify stores. Their services can range from store setup and customization to SEO and marketing strategies. Shopify experts can be categorized into three main groups:

Experience Level: The more experienced the expert, the higher the rate. Junior developers may charge less, while senior experts command premium prices due to their expertise.

Location: Geographic location plays a significant role in pricing. Experts from regions with a higher cost of living (like the US or Western Europe) tend to charge more than those in lower-cost regions.

Scope of Work: The complexity of your project significantly impacts cost. A simple store setup will cost less than a fully customized e-commerce solution.

Value of Hiring a Shopify Expert Investing in a Shopify expert provides several benefits:

Time Savings: Experts can efficiently manage the setup and launch process, freeing you to focus on other aspects of your business.

Professional Quality: A polished, professional store can enhance your brand image and credibility.

SEO and Marketing Insights: Experts can help optimize your store for search engines and create effective marketing strategies that drive traffic and increase sales.

Tips for Choosing the Right Shopify Expert Selecting the right Shopify expert is crucial for your project’s success. Consider the following tips:

Assess Your Needs: Clearly define the services you require, whether it's design, development, or ongoing support.

Check Portfolios: Review past work and case studies to evaluate their expertise and style.

Read Reviews and Testimonials: Feedback from previous clients can provide valuable insights into the expert's reliability and quality of work.

Interview Candidates: Prepare questions to gauge the expert’s understanding of your project and their problem-solving skills.

2024, Dropshipping Still Holds Great Potential: FulfilmentPros, Your Ideal Choice

It's 2024, are you still watching dropshipping?

I believe you may have seen some influencers or small business owners on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram showing their stories of achieving economic freedom through dropshipping e-commerce business, and they have earned thousands of dollars in side income through their own direct sales stores. On TikTok, the dropshipping-related hashtag #dropshipping has reached 9.8 billion views, #shopify has reached 3.6 billion views, and #Aliexpress has reached 14.8 billion views. This shows that people's discussion about dropshipping continues to rise.

What is Dropshipping

Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method in which sellers do not keep inventory of the products they sell. Instead, when sellers sell products using the dropshipping model, it purchases goods from third parties and sends them directly to customers. Therefore, sellers do not need to handle the products directly.

Compared with the traditional standard retail model, the biggest difference in Dropshipping is that merchants do not need to stock or keep inventory. Instead, sellers purchase inventory from third parties (usually wholesalers or manufacturers) based on order requirements and fulfill the orders by them.

Although some people think that dropshipping is outdated, the reality is that it is not. Dropshipping is still a promising model and provides an entry opportunity for small and medium-sized sellers who want to start a business at a low cost.

The latest data shows that the global dropshipping market is expected to reach US$301.11 billion by 2024 and is expected to expand to US$372.47 billion by 2025. Experts predict that by 2027, the valuation of the global dropshipping industry is expected to reach US$500 billion. These data are enough to prove that despite the fierce market competition, the dropshipping and dropshipping industries still have growth potential, and there are unlimited business opportunities for those companies that can adapt to market changes and adopt the right strategies.

However, the key to success in this competitive market is to understand the changing trends, take advantage of new technologies, and implement effective strategies. Looking at the search popularity of the word "dropshipping" through Google Trends, we can see that the dropshipping business model has seen significant growth in the past few years.

Although the Dropshipping model still provides low-risk, low-cost entrepreneurial opportunities for many e-commerce entrepreneurs in 2024, the key to sellers' success lies in whether they can adapt to the highly competitive global e-commerce environment and make innovative decisions in store operations. After all, this model also comes with many challenges and responsibilities. Successful Dropshipping depends not only on the selection of products and suppliers, but also requires effective marketing strategies and high-quality customer service to build and maintain customer trust.

Top Point of Sale Companies for Streamlined Business Solutions

When choosing a point of sale (POS) company for your business, you’re not just selecting a payment processor—you’re investing in a system that can streamline operations, manage inventory, track sales, and improve customer satisfaction. The right point of sale company can help small to medium-sized businesses scale efficiently. This guide explores some of the top point of sale companies and the key features to consider when selecting one.

Why Point of Sale Companies Matter

Point of sale companies provide essential tools that allow businesses to manage both front-end and back-end operations with ease. From processing transactions to offering detailed analytics and customer relationship management, a reliable POS system is critical to your business's success. With the rise of contactless payments and e-commerce integration, POS companies have become more important than ever.

Key benefits of using a POS system include:

Efficient Transaction Processing: Quick and accurate payment processing improves customer experience.

Inventory Management: Real-time tracking of stock levels helps prevent overstocking or running out of items.

Sales Reporting: Detailed reports provide insights into your best-selling products and busiest times.

Employee Management: Track employee performance and manage schedules more effectively.

User-Friendly Interface: The system should be easy to use for both you and your staff. A complicated system can slow down operations and lead to frustration.

Customization Options: Ensure the POS system can be customized to fit your business model, whether you're a retail store, restaurant, or service provider.

Cost: Evaluate both the upfront costs of hardware and ongoing subscription fees. Many companies offer tiered pricing plans that grow with your business.

Integration with Other Tools: Make sure the POS system integrates with other software you already use, such as accounting tools, e-commerce platforms, or loyalty programs.

Customer Support: Look for a company with strong customer support that can assist with setup, troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance.

Conclusion

Point of sale companies play an essential role in modern business operations. From basic payment processing to comprehensive management tools, the right POS system can help improve efficiency, increase sales, and provide valuable insights into your business.
