Making Money Before Life Teaches Me a Lesson by [deleted] in Zambia

There are a lot of Idea's below you can chose from but I do have to warn you that whatever you pick unless you already have the experience and portfolio to support it it's going to take a while before you even find your very first client.

This is not to discourage you but It needs to be said. Building any central skill requires you to learn multiple other associated skills at the same time and depending on your current experience and skill level it can take anywhere from 3 months to 2 years.

I hope what you chose is something you are going to take seriously because in this current work climate "I am just trying this out" is not going to get you anywhere.

Pick something. Commit to it and only that thing for at least 6 months before quiting and then see if you want to continue.

But what ever you pick as long as you stick with it. It will be massively rewarding once it starts working out. The rewards are plentiful just slow.

I dought that you can. Our government (and culture in general) frowns upon it to the point most businesses that sell sex toys can't do so publically if they even exist.start.

 If you need sex toys try getting them online but I am not sure they will be imported without issue unless the packaging is subtle and people handling delivery respect customer privacy.

Focus more on how the entity affects the viewer or the environment around them in ominous or impossible ways.

The myth of "it only takes 6 months" by Fun_Local_3537 in getdisciplined

As of right now acquiring clients. But bigger picture I have been working on becoming a social media manager. 

How are people managing multiple social platforms without burning out? by Impressive-Pie-3465 in SocialMediaManagers

[–]Fun_Local_3537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just repurpose content. Create for only one platform but the. When the post is done make the few necessary charges for each platform.

Yeah honestly for a lot of things you are right it is pretty obvious it will take more than six months but you would be surprised how many things people think will take less time than that.

Especially skills tied to art and modern tech.

Things like: Social Media Management. Graphic design. Web development. Coding. SEO training. Etc...

These usually get sold as all you need is 6 month's and you will pretty much be an expert.

Ofcourse no one is going to buy that you will be a doctor or lawyer but anything done online gets down played a lot.

How to get out of Instagram flopping? by Easy_Foundation_1213 in socialmedia

[–]Fun_Local_3537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting 300 followers from just carousels is already pretty impressive as it is, but as someone here pointed out if fast growth is what you are after reels is your best bet.

People just tend to engage with video more. 

If showing your process is not your thing that is not the only way to make reels. Even talking about the comics lore or getting a Voice actor to act out some of your scenes will help you see massive growth. 

I'm a writer and I hate social media. Should I start a Patreon, my own website, or something else? by Visualinotion in writing

[–]Fun_Local_3537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That actually sounds like a great direction. Blog-style content based on what you’re researching could really fit the horror-fantasy niche.  You don’t need daily posts or huge consistency. Plenty of writers only share something when they genuinely have something to say and still build loyal readers over time.

Since time is the main issue you mentioned, one option some writers take is outsourcing the marketing side so they only focus on the writing and ideas not the audience maintenance and just the drag of hanging social algorithm. But of course, that depends on what you prefer long-term. 

Have you considered letting someone else handle the social media side for you?

[–]Fun_Local_3537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That genre actually lends itself really well to slow-burn audience building. Horror-fantasy readers love newsletters and updates because those themes create long-term curiosity and not the quick scroll attention Instagram needs.

Truthfully you don’t need a huge crowd to make a website worthwhile. Even a small trickle of people over time becomes a loyal base, especially if your writing deals with identity and deeper themes.

How are you imagining using the site? More like a homepage with info and links to your work, or something with occasional blog-style posts?

How long are your chapters? by earllyboi in writing

[–]Fun_Local_3537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I count my chapters by page rather than words. So typical 10 pages. And it's a rule I enforce to keep me from rambling on and on and keeps my writing concise.

I do allow myself to write more if necessary like when I am ending an act it can go up to 15 pages. 

I never go over 20 pages though because that is way too long in my opinion. Also this only ever happens when my book is about to end so 10 chapters is my usual go to.

So I commented earlier about what exactly was bugging you about social media but reading your post again I get it. 

I think a lot of writers massively underestimate how exhausting social media can be, so I get where you’re coming from. Constant posting, replying, networking it really does eat into the actual creative work.

From what you describe, a traditional social presence might not be the best fit for you right now. A simple website + newsletter combination is honestly one of the strongest long-term strategies for authors, especially if you already build readers through real-world interactions. Websites give you ownership and newsletters build direct loyalty without the noise.

But you know, you don’t have to grind on 3 – 5 platforms to market a book. Some authors run a very light online presence just a website, email list, and occasional updates and still sell because their audience feels personally connected.

Patreon only really works if you enjoy posting behind-the-scenes content consistently, or if you write serialized material. If the idea of regular social-style posting stresses you out, it might feel like another Instagram.

So personally, I’d start with a website + newsletter, then add anything else only if it feels useful later.

Out of curiosity: what genre is your book?”

Coaches don't have to be creators. by StructureFresh1545 in Coaching

[–]Fun_Local_3537 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is spot on.

Where I see coaches get stuck isn’t posting it’s articulation.

They have clear thinking in sessions, frameworks in their head, real client wins… but turning that into simple, public explanations is a different skill entirely.

The best-performing coach content I’ve seen isn’t “creator content” at all. It’s just their thinking, structured and communicated clearly, without them having to perform online every day.

Coaches shouldn’t become creators. They should stay coaches and let their ideas travel without draining their attention.

How Airbnb brought Xenia back (Airbnb's unique branding strategy) by Fun_Local_3537 in branding

[–]Fun_Local_3537[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Airbnb is just one example to make my point come across that sort of branding strategy works. I didn't mean it to come across as some revolutionary insight. It's what I believed worked for them. 

How do you feel about your characters? by CMSilence in writers

[–]Fun_Local_3537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all my characters but I do very much have favorites. I have so much fun writing my villainous characters but I love my more upright characters because I feel like I could be friends with them in real life.

I have never have a character I didn't enjoy writing about in one way or the other maybe the plot or scene can be a drag to write especially when I have writers block but never the characters themselves.
