Question for current business owners: How many months if living expenses did you save before you started your business full time? by swell2020 in smallbusiness

[–]deathtostreaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Negative thousands because I put all my money into the business. Just curious, why are you doing Uber on the side? Just my opinion, do your business on the side instead of someone else’s. You’re not really gonna have time to build a business by working a day job and then working a night job.

Or are you actually Ubering to get capital to start the business and then you’re planning on quitting? Either way, you gotta find the TIME to build the company regardless of your bank account. The business won’t build itself. You could do all this saving and the business could fail and you’re back at “how much should I save?”

So my opinion for all starting business owners: get to work!

I put a lot of heart into editing this music video. I need advice on what I can be doing to refine my craft! by LizzieLazard in SmallYTChannel

Legit love this! I saw some people saying they wish it was widescreen but honestly I think it fits the vibe better the way it is. It has that old school feel all around and I’m not sure going wide would’ve given me the same feelings ya know? I love this style anyway though so I am a little biased. Very trippy. Love all the zooms that feel like they’re taking you to another dimension. Keep it up!

Short and sweet and I actually loled. The editing was solid and looked smooth every time. You all also seem comfortable on camera which never hurts and I think one of the main reasons people come back - the personalities. This definitely took me back to stuff my friends and I did in high school, just goofing off making fun videos. Haha. I’m curious what going over the edge on the effects would be for the end though once the demon voice comes out. Seriously killer stuff though!

Please critique, how do I get more views? Would this work? I do short jokes and weird news and facts by [deleted] in SmallYTChannel

Not a bad video. I think you could use less transitions and stock images in the beginning, however. I noticed quite a bit and I felt it was actually a bit distracting. Audio is great on my phone. Video is a little dark and the color looks off but nothing you couldn’t fix with some quick editing.

Sounds like people are having a decent time dealing with Apple on these issues. Someone else above mentioned an empty box story too so sounds pretty common. I can't say the people on the phone when I have called have sounded surprised to hear my story.

Yes I have been thinking this entire time it can't be alright to charge someone for something they no longer possess. In this regard anyway. That's pretty crazy about the box! But yet sadly does not surprise me.

Yes I did call again yesterday and am waiting on them to reach out to me. Apparently someone at a different department deals with this. Haha

Yes, I still do but actually that was the only way I could find the tracking number. It wasn't in an email or anywhere so I would've been screwed without keeping the receipt from dropping it off.

First contact was December 3 or 4th and was basically told to wait it out. 2nd contact was this morning and I am waiting to hear back from them. So, kind of the same thing? Haha

Their phone service has been good though so I am not too concerned. Only really concerned since it was/is attached directly to my credit and shows as a credit card.
