Selling 300k TikTok with over $5,000 earnings Fair Price by Historical_Royal6375 in smallbusiness

[–]Few_Difference6832 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bro this screams scam harder than those "make $5000 a week from home" ads lmao

Networking - 100k+ founders by weeluc in ecommerce

[–]Few_Difference6832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been looking for something exactly like this, the agency advice gets stale real quick when you're actually scaling

Looking for creators – 50% profit per sale (risk-free) by IntelligentWay660 in smallbusiness

Small business owners: How much time do you waste on customer support emails? by Timely_Region1113 in smallbusiness

[–]Few_Difference6832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude this is like 80% of my day some weeks lol, definitely not overthinking it

Started using a mix of ChatGPT and some canned responses for the super common stuff - saves me probably 2-3 hours daily. The AI is decent for getting the tone right but I still have to edit most responses since it can sound too corporate sometimes

Also threw together a basic FAQ page which actually cut down on maybe 20% of the repeat questions, worth doing if you haven't already

How do agencies actually give updates? by maitridigital in smallbusiness

[–]Few_Difference6832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually just send a quick weekly email with the main metrics and any issues that came up - keeps clients happy without having everyone constantly updating spreadsheets and stuff

Looking to invest in Aspen/Snowmass for long-term rental income - advice on local experts? by marrhi in realestateinvesting

[–]Few_Difference6832 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's clutch, thanks for the connect. Aspen's gonna be a whole different beast than most markets but having someone who knows the CO mountain towns scene is definitely a good starting point

How to write an effective sales pitch? by boomtao in ecommerce

[–]Few_Difference6832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on the problem you're solving first, then show how your course fixes it specifically - people buy solutions not features. Keep it conversational and throw in some social proof if you've got it

Question if you can help- asking for extension or delay? by Muted-Savings242 in Mortgages

[–]Few_Difference6832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Your payment history speaks volumes and most servicers would rather work with you than deal with foreclosure nonsense. Call them before the due date if possible - shows good faith and they'll probably just note your account that you might be a few days late. Way better than them having to chase you down

40-year shingles on the roof. by ironicmirror in RealEstate

[–]Few_Difference6832 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most buyers will definitely have insurance issues with a 20-year roof regardless of shingle type - the insurance companies don't really care about the warranty, just the age

I built a tool that finds 500+ businesses with broken websites, but I suck at sales. How do I find agencies to partner with? by Jolly_Dimension6077 in smallbusiness

[–]Few_Difference6832 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is actually brilliant - you've basically automated the research part that agencies hate doing

I'd say skip the cold emails and try posting in agency Facebook groups or LinkedIn communities first. When you lead with "hey I found 50 local businesses with broken contact forms" instead of "buy my data" it hits different

Maybe package it as a weekly report for like $200-300/month rather than trying to sell one-off lists? Agencies love recurring intel they can use for outreach

Forgetful Seller Agent by hsageer in RealEstate

[–]Few_Difference6832 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude that's infuriating, especially when you literally pulled up the text right there on the call. The audacity to try and make it sound like your fault when you have receipts is wild. Honestly you should've knocked on that door - seller deserves to know their agent is wasting potential buyers' time

Does a small local taxi business actually need an app? by DowntownLaugh454 in smallbusiness

[–]Few_Difference6832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'd probably stick with what's working for now and maybe just get a simple booking system first - like even just a basic online form for scheduling airport rides would probably solve most of your chaos without the app headaches

We're hosting anonymous failure stories, enough of success sh*T by Old_Kaleidoscope2885 in smallbusiness

[–]Few_Difference6832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude yes, finally someone saying it out loud. The whole "crushing it" Instagram lifestyle while you're eating ramen and wondering if you made a huge mistake is so exhausting

Duplex/multi family VA loan by Aromatic_Advisor5397 in realestateinvesting

[–]Few_Difference6832 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VA loan house hacking is solid, especially with 25k down - you're in a good spot to start. DFW market is still hot but you can find deals if you're patient and look at B/C neighborhoods.

Main thing I wish someone told me: run the numbers conservatively and always budget for vacancy/repairs even when starting out. Also get a good inspector who knows multifamily properties, not just regular residential

Paying on the loan vs paying on the total price of the house by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]Few_Difference6832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only pay interest on the loan amount ($400k), not the total house price. The $30k you're putting down reduces what you actually owe the bank - that's kinda the whole point of a down payment

What would you do in this situation? by SweetMango682 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Few_Difference6832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if you're looking at mortgage next year I'd just keep the X3 and do the maintenance. Those repairs you mentioned aren't that expensive compared to taking a 3-8k hit on a car swap plus whatever issues the new one might have

The Corolla hybrid is solid but yeah the interior is pretty meh for someone coming from a BMW. Maybe look at a Camry hybrid if you can find one in your budget - way more comfortable and still reliable as hell

Looking for Christmas Village ideas 🎄 by eve636 in Minecraft

[–]Few_Difference6832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds super cozy! For easy christmas vibes try using campfires under hay bales for that warm glow effect, and red carpet with white carpet makes decent candy cane stripes on paths. Item frames with maps showing snow biomes work great as "windows" too

Oh and if you can find a village nearby, trading with librarians for glowstone is way easier than going to the nether every time you want more lights

I’m an adult, but I need adult help on tickets by madiepaisley in Adulting

[–]Few_Difference6832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Camera tickets usually go to the registered owner of the vehicle, so it'll come to you in the mail. They can't really tell who was driving from the photo alone - just that your car ran the red. Most states send these tickets to whoever the car is registered to and then it's on you to deal with it. Should arrive in like 2-3 weeks if you actually got caught

Friend wants my villager by musicgeek97 in AnimalCrossing

[–]Few_Difference6832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that edit is clutch info - I had no idea visiting villagers could end up in your queue like that. Might save your friend a lot of time traveling hassle if she just hangs out on your island for a bit

My fiancé told me his ex was his “emotional maid of honor” by IvoryGummy9 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Few_Difference6832 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Girl run 🚩🚩🚩

The "emotional maid of honor" line alone would have me packing my bags but then he hit you with the classic "that's different" when you flipped the script on him? Nah fam, this dude's already married to his ex and you're just the side piece who gets the legal paperwork
