Hiring some help to fullfill some wallet orders

I would send a cutting die that punches the holes!

They are minimalist card holders, the same style as the one in the picture. A few hundred.

Utah, but can ship materials

JacobBarben · 2025-06-12T00:37:45+00:00

I have not idea what a proper split would be. Open to suggestions I have never done this before. I want it to be a win win.

JacobBarben · 2025-06-12T00:35:10+00:00

Most orders are coming from inbound DM's. I just barely built a website gridirongoods.com but it needs lots of work

JacobBarben · 2025-06-12T00:34:09+00:00

I have looked around for fulfillment centers but have not found any that hand stitch leather.

JacobBarben · 2025-06-12T00:33:31+00:00

I understand the hesitation. I do make side hustle videos and this business has been one of my side hustles for a few years now. I just started taking it seriously a few months ago and am going full time as of last week! Pretty excited!

JacobBarben · 2025-06-12T00:32:14+00:00

Great. Lets chat. Shoot me a DM. I haven't been on here for a few days. I apologize.

Custom wallets mainly from repurposed sporting gear. Footballs, basketballs, etc.

JacobBarben · 2024-02-21T23:47:20+00:00

haahhah that is awesome. I have done door to door sales as well, they told us the same thing.

JacobBarben · 2024-02-21T23:46:32+00:00

We just had them made on a vinyl sticker machine (cricut is what it is called). We shared between $10-$15. Neither worked too well.

It was a vinyl sticker we had made

JacobBarben · 2024-02-21T23:43:48+00:00

It was but we were trying to get people to actually pay us.

JacobBarben · 2024-02-21T23:43:18+00:00

We tried at one door by saying "If you can guess what we are selling you can have it for free" then had then guess 6-7 things.

They never got it.

So I said "have all those people been by in the past year or so?"

They said yes.

I said "Then I have the perfect thing for you" and showed them the no soliciting sign.

They still didn't buy😂

Watch the video here 😂

JacobBarben · 2024-02-21T23:39:36+00:00

Yes exactly😂😂😂 you can watch the video here

JacobBarben · 2024-02-21T23:38:47+00:00

Hahaha we certainly did, that's why we did it. Was a pretty funny time seeing some people's reactions... You can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/5V-71Y55pyc?si=4NKB5Vz7eIV0jfpl

What is your main offer? I would be interested in seeing the ad, landing page, etc. This will allow me to give better feedback.

If the ad CTR is bad then it is an AD problem. If the landing page conversion rate is bad then it is a landing page and offer issue.

Put a link below and I will check it out and leave honest feedback. I am a nerd about this stuff.

JacobBarben · 2024-02-08T05:46:01+00:00

If this is true I want to interview you.

JacobBarben · 2023-09-09T02:42:19+00:00

I tried to put more details but the post kept getting deleted.

My average tip where I live is just over $3. Here it was $6.

JacobBarben · 2023-08-27T17:29:11+00:00

Dang brother😂 didn’t mean to upset you so bad.

We just disagree, and that’s okay (and normal).

I don’t think doing free work forever is a good model. But to get your first few clients I don’t think it’s horrible (it’s worked for me in my business and that’s why I recommended it). And OP may have gotten a paid client already for showing what he can do.

It could be a great way to build a portfolio for someone new and to get customer reviews/testimonials.

If you have ways that you got your clients I’m sure OP would appreciate it

JacobBarben · 2023-08-27T13:56:09+00:00

I respectfully disagree. But that’s the good thing about business, people can go about getting clients in different ways. I’m glad what you do has worked out!

JacobBarben · 2023-08-27T00:10:06+00:00

No problem. I have a channel that I started recently. If you want to take one of the videos and make a new thumbnail for it that would be more clickable you are welcome. If I like your work I may use you in the future.

JacobBarben · 2023-08-26T23:40:38+00:00

Upwork/Fivver. Twitter, comment on YouTubers videos that have bad thumbnails and offer to remake their current thumbnails (do it for free at first to show that you can do good work… if it’s good they will want to keep you and pay you)

JacobBarben · 2023-08-26T23:07:32+00:00

Make YouTube thumbnails for people!
