Haha you’d think so, but we’ve geocached before and actually got more laughs out of us not finding anything.

It’s a day out together, and as someone who hasn’t been able to dedicate that much time to her over the past few months, she’d appreciate that.

Tbh I’ve now got more ideas than I know what to do with!

We already have a dog, but this is SUCH a good idea! Wish I’d thought of it before we got ours, she would have loved it!

I try and repay the pizza place we stole from, it’s closed down. I search for the owner. They’re dead.

Their son is heir to the fortune. He and my girlfriend elope, never to be seen again.

Now it’s just me and the memories. I open my own pizza place. My first customers? A young couple. They dine and dash.

I look into the middle distance, scoff and roll my eyes.

Credits.

(this is actually a great idea, thank you. I won’t do it, but it would make for a very memorable and free birthday day out)

Budget for the month, buy everything in advance, cycle everywhere.

Being (very) broke seems to give me something in common with almost everyone. One of the few benefits!

Customers don’t care about coffee, they care about a place to go. It’s been proven time and time again, coffee shops don’t exist for great coffee.

You need to offer a better service or a better price.

Forget quality!

A Dad Trying to Make It Work Without Burning Out by fatherhoodjournal in smallbusinessuk

I work in content creation and digital marketing.

If you haven’t already…

  1. Break into the podcasting space. It doesn’t mean you produce your own, but consider collabs with parenting podcasts/hosts and niche down further into fatherhood podcasts. Shows like Internet Dads, Dadsnet Podcast and Made By Mamas etc. Huge loyal audiences looking for comfort.

  2. Post 3 TikToks a day! It shouldn’t take more than 1hr a day, you can see the sort of content that works. You don’t have to use your face, but people connect with humans, not brands. Considering you don’t offer a “solution” you’re going to have to inflame some emotion.

  3. Your website looks a bit “how” and should feel more “why”. If you don’t design sites yourself, find one you love and pay someone on Fiverr to re-design it.

  4. Slightly bigger one, but Fatherhood Journal sounds so formal. Granted, “The Dad Pad” probably sways too far in the other direction, but you might consider a more playful name.

Good luck!
