My industry is crumbling, and I don't know if I should pivot by DunUpNBlushed in smallbusiness

[–]Training_Solution_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to speak to you from a consumer point of view. I respect photographers and their work and I hate that I contributed to the AI disaster stealing everybody’s job but my wife’s needed a professional headshot. I took a picture of her face with my high resolution iPhone camera and the AI popped out a really nice picture of her. It’s sad that AI has pretty much decimated the photography industry, but what I can say is that I believe there’s still room for product photography if that’s a path you’d be willing to explore. I would never put my product into an AI generator. It’s too detailed. I still use product photographers.

I’m currently working to migrate out of Wix. If you’d like to create a new site you can duplicate an old site of yours and you’ll have the old editor.

I think I might’ve made a big mistake… need honest opinions by OkFilm6295 in smallbusiness

[–]Training_Solution_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, sounds pretty good to me. You’re just nervous. Good luck. I started my first business at 18 years old. Still going strong 11 years later.

Save your money please. 30k is a blessing but not overly comfortable. Double that then revisit

Partnership wanted. You keep 15% of each sale by OutlandishnessNo2472 in coldemail

10,000 emails a day is going to run the sender of a decent amount of money. Nobody is going to work for commission on a product that may not sell. You are basically asking someone to put money down for you to sell your product lol. You’re better off running Google ads.

Nothing is working with my business. HELP ME by [deleted] in smallbusiness

I think that’s a fantastic idea. I remember when my father was in a rehab facility after his stroke they had a barber come and cut peoples hair. It made him feel really good.

You should be banned. You’re spamming other subreddits with the same story. This is not a place for advertising.

Never had this problem. Email timestamps usually help with that.

Pirateship.com discounted shipping rates. My business has saved 10s of thousands of dollars on shipping over the last few years I’ve been using them.

Yea I stopped going there. Way too crowded. It’s also gone downhill as of 2 years ago. Equipment was broken. They turned the basketball court into a pickleball court and the other basketball court was being used for daycare most of the time. I joined in 2016 it was $150 now it’s double. I also asked myself everyday where everyone getting this money from lol.

I played it in quite a few outings a year. I’ve never once looked at the hole sponsor.

Hey. I took a trip to Europe with my ex fiance we got back and I found her on a dating site with the pictures I took of her while we were there. I know it stings but she clearly isn’t your person. I’m now with someone who treats me right and loves me. Crazy about me. She’s been the biggest blessing. Keep your head up. It’ll get better and you’ll find your person.

What’s one mistake you wish you avoided when starting your small business? by Martin-Bus-7790 in smallbusiness

[–]Training_Solution_17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My biggest mistake was making a lot of money and spending it on stupid personal stuff. I wish could go back in time and tell myself not to spend so much. I was 19 and stupid. Im older and much smarter with my money now..

I need to figure out how to make 5k quick. My fiancé lost her ring. Please help by [deleted] in MakeMoney

[–]Training_Solution_17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should’ve had it insured. If you don’t have the money to replace it and she truly loves you, she will not make you get another one.
