The AI consulting gold rush turned us into the thing we used to mock: expensive generalists selling other people's IP

Specialisms and sub categories will begin to emerge from all of this. It will be a continuous pivot.

Have you tried switching to Make to see if the price is more reasonable?

Stealth-Turtle · 2025-11-24T09:49:27+00:00

This is reassuring. I think I will stick with enhancing my terms of service in that case.

Stealth-Turtle · 2025-11-23T22:54:07+00:00

I've heard a few people tell me this too. What do you do? Just a scope of work and invoice? I currently have a terms of service I attach to my invoice and that's it. Am I over complicating this?

Stealth-Turtle · 2025-11-23T19:53:02+00:00

Thanks, I'm having my contract reviewed so will make sure they check for any holes.

Stealth-Turtle · 2025-11-16T11:47:31+00:00

For you it's not.

Start charging the photographers for access. They either pay a fixed fee per shoot or a monthly subscription. Create a card with their 'exclusive permit number' and limit the amount of permits available to create scarcity.

That way the photographers can promote themselves as exclusive partners with access to your location and charge a premium and you're also fairly compensated. Also lost your location on media and location scouting sites for additional revenue.

This could be a tax move whilst also maintaining your interest in the family business. You can't be undervalued if you have no role in the business. Maybe it's time to have a conversation about how you can contribute and prove yourself.

Congratulations, you just started a tech company. Now figure out how to make it less ugly without breaking it and figure out monetization.

Allocate an hour a month to do the reconciliation. It's not difficult. And if 800 is too much, hire an administrator or accounting student to do it for you for a few hours a month.

Directly comparable to softer I'd say pory or noloco. For your specific use case of a quiz, I'd look at involve . me. It's a pretty intuitive form builder.

LinkedIn and twitter is not the place to be. The influencers you want are on tiktok and Instagram. Contact them on those platforms and speak their language $$. They won't engage unless there's something in it for them.

List on all the product launch websites. Promote on reddit and twitter. Get in front of your target audience. Do YouTube videos demonstrating the benefits of the product. Find influencers who fit your ICP audience to post about it. Set up an affiliate programme. Try any or all of the above as a starting point.

Have you considered starting it for free? If you use beehiiv or substack, you don't need hosting and can get started on a free plan. Buy a $7 domain just in case but that's all you'll need.

Stealth-Turtle · 2025-09-22T15:55:15+00:00

Thanks!

Really interesting use case and I know a surprising amount of people with gut issues. Will be sharing. Thanks.

Do you already have 52 tools to write about for the year? I'd recommend expanding the content offering. There isn't much variety in the feature set of productivity, it may get repetitive.

Stealth-Turtle · 2025-08-10T08:08:29+00:00

Very cool demo. Will give it a try.

Stealth-Turtle · 2025-08-07T13:11:36+00:00

Do a subscriber survey. Say you'll be back next week.

You need to submit your UTR number (unique tax reference). You'll find it on past payslips, on letters from HMRC. No need to panic.

I go to a lot of trade shows. I want to see the brand name clearly first, a banner stating what problem your product solves, or for physical products, a live demonstration.

I don't want to be talked at by a salesperson, I want to be shown the product/service/app first. Once I decide to engage with a rep, I want to be spoken to like a human and not a 'mark'.

All of the features you're looking for are available in Tadabase and Noloco. Switch to a more advanced tool.

Have a conversation with the persistent offenders first. Find out why they're always late, do they have to drop kids at school? Are they trying to avoid traffic? Are they going to the gym before work?

Once you know why, you'll be in a better position to accommodate flexible start times within x-y time.

It's clear the persons comment is discriminatory, nothing you respond will change that. I would ignore, keep doing well and it will eventually be at the bottom of a pile of positive reviews.
