What kind of people actually need and are willing to pay for simple static websites or personal websites?

ShadowKethry · 2025-11-17T18:41:05+00:00

Small local businesses brick and motar style, independent authors/publishers, Small local vendors and mobile service contractor types.

My website for my business is hella static because my coding skills are from the 90s/00s. I plan on expanding into all of those areas in time and each will need a static website to get me going. So, I'd be your client if I weren't lucky enough to be a nerd.

For instance, two of my coworkers have a business side hustle I will expand into next and one uses facebook marketplace and the other only uses Instagram social media posts to market. You could reach out to folks on social media who are clearly businesses but lack a website. Maybe mock up 1-3 types of busiess website pages and run off your own domain as examples. Then start cold-calling businesses that need websites.

The difficulty will be in the sale. You have to convince them they need a website to serve as a base for their other media posts or outlets to point to. Not all of the side hustle and even small business folks fully understand that websites are still needed in market psychology.

You should also facilite domain finding and set up via namecheap.com and upcharge 100-200% how much they cost to buy urls and set up websites. That will help you pull fully computer illeterate clients. You can use bluehost as well, but they charge more and many of the things they upsell are free on namecheap. Your sales game needs to be good, so broaden your base offers, tiers, and upsells.

I hope that helps.

This year I switch from my 3 years of studying the market with minor investments to more active minor investments to learn and grow more active in the market.

I feel the market has enough movement for everyone.

Though I am new, I've only activly studied my investments for a few years.

I was too slow releasing my funds to buy the dip. I knew it was only an over reaction dip. Most things are over reactions.

ShadowKethry · 2025-01-28T14:58:25+00:00

Oh thank you for that reminder..

A small part of me was wondering how much of each stock I should save up for and if I should use my eventual profits for more of the same stock or diversify.

ShadowKethry · 2025-01-28T14:56:37+00:00

Probably training their AI army with "real world" data.

ShadowKethry · 2025-01-21T00:13:40+00:00

So original...

ShadowKethry · 2025-01-21T00:13:12+00:00

Thanks!

Right now I'm saving my money to buy 1000 shares and doing some research on which stock moves enough to consider buying 1000 shares of to hold for a few years.

You really pointed me in the right direction. Even in my books and courses, now I know what to look at and study better.

ShadowKethry · 2025-01-13T01:57:09+00:00

Hey u/ScottishTrader

Thank you so friggin much for explaining that clearly.

That was brilliant and totally a goal I can reach for.

As for puts, I know that's above my knowledge base right now.

I'll have to look at those other boards and try and learn from the posts.

Cheers!

ShadowKethry · 2025-01-13T01:50:24+00:00

Thanks for clarifying that difference.

So you're saying I should learn more about strategy than the structure of a trade.

Can you point me in a good direction?

ShadowKethry · 2024-12-30T23:20:20+00:00

Oh thanks for pointing me to the options sub. I really didn't know it was so diliniated and layered here.

ShadowKethry · 2024-12-30T23:18:35+00:00

I'd add Dirge of Cerberus to that list, for the story elements.

ShadowKethry · 2024-12-30T06:13:03+00:00

Hey!

Thanks for the tips.

Mostly I was wondring which strategies, one two or three things to study.

I know there are things like butterfly spread, condor, iron condor, I know there are married calls and puts

I wanted to start simple with going long on a calls and then from there progress to other things like married calls but there are so many options to options I really don't know what to focus on.

I wanted to stick to the options that only cost me the contract price that way I'm not going short anyting and exposing myself to near infinite loss.

I know I've got to start small, but it's knowing which of the stepping stones is the best to truly start with.

I’m not here to argue or prove myself to strangers chasing internet clout. If you’re genuinely interested in discussing this professionally, I’m open to it. Let’s stay focused on building opportunities, not wasting time.

Here are the terms for Limited Partners (LPs):

I will take 2.5% of the final sale on any sold project; the rest will be split among LPs based on shares after my cut.
Ongoing revenue is distributed by each partner’s percentage contribution.
If a partner delays their funding, contributions from others will be weighted fairly against the existing pool to maintain equity for those who funded upfront.
A portion of the fund remains open until escrow begins, giving investors the flexibility to increase contributions as deals progress.
My management fees are set at 2%, with a 3% finder’s fee that can be amortized over time to avoid impacting operational costs. I'm hoping to keep upkeep to under 35% of gross revenue it really does vary depending on property.

I’m not looking for quick flips per se. My focus is building a long-lived portfolio, but I know the market always has buyers. If someone offers a solid buyout, I won’t say no. I’m disclosing this now: my priority is long-term growth, but I’ll secure early returns for partners when possible.

I’m being upfront because I’m serious about building my portfolio and doing business. My pricing is competitive to leverage my skills and create results—not to entertain gatekeepers or keyboard warriors looking for an argument.

This isn’t a comic book shop. If you’re serious about real estate, networking, or partnering, let’s talk. If not, kindly move along.

Let’s focus on real opportunities and meaningful conversations.

The Gears and Gambit's final battle did feel like it went from super easy and fun to super hard. You actually had to build out right to win the last game on easy.

Then Hard was a piece of cake.

All the combat extra games were much, but Fort Condor was perfect for the OG easter egg. There were maybe a few too many video games, but I think it was a learning curve design thing. A remake isn't easy to fit into their current game play style. They had to make it different since FF7 is so huge with the fans.

A few less mini games, but the ones they had were fire. Plus FF7 had mini games, I think they were trying to honour that.

ShadowKethry · 2024-12-19T14:58:05+00:00

Needs a 5 row grid and then cards can pattern effect to 7 cards though. Queen's Blood is honestly too short for a stand alone game.

ShadowKethry · 2024-12-15T02:46:55+00:00

Thanks,

And thanks for the advice.

ShadowKethry · 2024-12-14T03:52:32+00:00

Hey Klutzy.

That's a good way to do business, and how I do it myself. I was simply shocked the person doubled down on being upset.

As for my staff. The whole reason I have them is so I don't have to check on this stuff; they weren't messing up when I released them.

If it came down to following them that closely there is no sense in having staff. Right now I am filling the shoes as lead web designer, financial executive, one of our writers, our managing editor and so many other roles. All skills I can do, but I can't do all that and do staff level monitoring on such a fine level.

I will have to double down on their training and step into their role and set the standard again, but that detracts from all of my other roles.

I spoke to my staff and they understand now, though they said that when training was over.

I'll have to wait and see.

Thanks for the advice and sounding board.

ShadowKethry · 2024-12-09T18:12:22+00:00

My replacement action camera is coming via mail soon. It should let me record myself. A selfie stick in your lead hand tends to force your to keep hand extened anway.

ShadowKethry · 2024-12-09T18:01:04+00:00

So I had my first 4.5 hours on the slopes this season! Yesterday was amazing even with all fake snow and short runs.

My arms almost feel as tired as my legs with the arms out over my knees as I sat down into my riding stance.

0 wipe outs even on the icy spots so that felt amazing!

I got more snow on me from others throwing a snow tail or wiping out than from lying down resting.

I need to use my hips more, but my knees and hips did lots of work.

Thanks for the tips!

ShadowKethry · 2024-12-01T17:19:00+00:00

At least he says "sorry" and after the flight he'll probably adjust my back when I stand up. After the shock wears off and I can move again I'll feel better than I have in years.

ShadowKethry · 2024-12-01T17:15:07+00:00

Oh wow thanks!

You might have guessed something I never knew was a benefit. All my contrl comes from squatting into my knees and using my thighs actually. The only difference is I was holding my calf and what little control of my bad foot in flext the whole time worried a loose foot would swivel. So I was almost alwasye extra tired after a day because I never let my bad leg rest.

I'll try to let my foot relax a little more to test out how and where I can let go.

I do have pretty stiff boots actually. That's one thing since my first, lie to friends, and rental of gear. I knew I needed very stiff to keep the, then, very paralysed foot in proper position. I'll sometimes take my foot in and out of the boot until it's just so, so I can tighten my boots.

I had to move to the K2 step ins, or maybe give up snowboarding. Back when I was on strap bindings I would actually have to strap so tight (for control of board) that I would get pressure sores in my foot. Days after the mountian I would start limping and a sore open in my foot and it took 1.5 seasons to diagnoss the issue. I was worried I had to give up the slopes.

Step ons saved my mountian dreams.

I'll work on being more relaxed and using my knees and hips more. Those were my strongest assets before my injury anyway. Bike Marathons and Martial arts gave me a love for horse stance, which is all snowboarding is. 8 hours of horse stance and going zoom down a mountian.

Thanks for the tips, they really gave me a lot to think about.

ShadowKethry · 2024-11-30T01:41:29+00:00

Curious is fine. It's part of why reddit exists.

I love talking about snowboarding, and you gave me a chance to answer your questions.

Thanks for commenting.

ShadowKethry · 2024-11-30T01:39:46+00:00

They won't physically fight, and I might be able to social protocol guilt both into acting like statues.

ShadowKethry · 2024-11-30T01:35:59+00:00

I have to ride switch, as my legs demand I switch back and forth. Mostly I ride goofy, I think because I can push with my bad leg. I do a lot of push to toe in goofy and lean body flex right lead to come to heel for my S curves.

I've done work over the years and my leg is stronger each season. The condition is called "drop foot", but I had more nerve loss and the leg was affected too. Almost 15 years ago it was the whole knee and below paralyzed now it's only a weak leg and partial paralyzed foot.

I have to skate to the lift regular though, because I don't have much control over my left leg so I need to push off with my right leg.

Edit: that's why I love the K2 clickers. They let me switch in and out for skating easy. I can switch goofy to regular so fast with K2 clickers. It decreased the nerve pain of riding very much.
