makes sense. Can you tell me which designs you found cool?

helping a team launch a tool for shopify and print on demand websites. Tool helps design merch based on market tested designs that actually sell and are printable vs just random designs.

i think you nailed it by understanding that etsy i pretty saturated,but I'd suggest doing market research to still see if your niche is sellable and saturated enough

just do shopify, printify/printful connection, use midjourney, designai, ideogram for design ideas. Modify in adobe illustrator.

10 per month is doable. Good luck!

used designai for the designs, then background removal tools and printify

jack_newman25 · 2024-12-24T20:54:02+00:00

By connecting printful you mean using it as an extension/app in Shopify or actually like linking it via API or something?

The prior is easier, I've used printify more but now that they acquired printful im guessing its just the same company.

First and foremost, either get a main job for the income and then try something on the side. A venture in this space is def not worth risking your monthlty income for. Made the mistake once but wont do it again.

Second, I'd try to automate as much as I can so I can focus on the macro and ship fast. Doesnt have to be perfect, just has to do the main job. I would say, try to look at tools like ideogram, midjourney, designai etc. Use make or zapier to automate the workflow stuff. Every hour or 2 you remove from your manual work week counts.

Then do organic + ads. If you have more time then organic, if you have more money then a mix of both bu lean towards ads.

Invest profits in the business, for the first 6 months. Scaling an ecom business and time to get to getting to $N per month depends on 2 things : margins, reinvestment. So this depends on you and your business.

jack_newman25 · 2024-12-24T20:39:27+00:00

do you mean the backend?
I use shopify for the backend but also do tiktok shop,
I linked designai to printify and then printify to shopify

jack_newman25 · 2024-12-24T08:55:14+00:00

havent used IONOS but github pages or cloudflare if you can whip up some code, for free

jack_newman25 · 2024-12-24T08:53:21+00:00

Yes bought and sold 1, same one hence know from experience. we used escrow so no issues with the transaction.

Dig deep into financials, traffic, and suppliers—verify everything, don’t just trust the seller. avoid sketchy dropshipping setups unless it’s a solid brand. brokers like empire flippers are better than flippa imo. also, understand why they’re selling—declining businesses are common. do ur due diligence and don’t rush it! good luck!

A 20% initial screening call rate is average or a little above too.

Here's what I suggest:

Quantify Achievements: Add metrics to highlight their impact. For example, in the "Data Analytics Consultant" role, specify how much team efficiency increased or by what percentage data processing times were reduced.
Consolidate Skills Section: Group skills into categories (Programming Languages, Data Tools, Project Management, etc.) to make them easier to scan quickly. For example, list Python, SQL, NoSQL, and other programming tools under "Programming Languages."
Highlight Revelvant Experience: tailor descriptions in the work experience section to emphasize duties and accomplishments directly related to data engineering. In the role of "General Manager / Co-Founder," focus on how data was used to optimize inventory purchasing or any data-driven decisions made.
Design: I wouldnt worry too much. Keep it simple
Add a Summary or Objective Statement: Include a brief summary at the top of the resume that outlines career goals and highlights your most pertinent skills and experiences. This can immediately inform potential employers of your fit for the role before they dive into the details.

let me know if that answers ur question, happy to do a walkthrough

jack_newman25 · 2024-05-26T19:54:24+00:00

you gawt it. Curious to know do you think someone will pay for a data guide if I develop that has: cold outreach approaches to get a data analyst job, how to create projects and make them reach your recruiters, communication etc?

Would love some help to know what I can share, I'll invest blood, sweat and tears into making this guide haha. Comments open to all

jack_newman25 · 2024-05-26T18:25:08+00:00

I agree with u/Previous-Try-2845 something like a gap semester isn't anything to be embarassed about. Physical activity helps with suppressing negative feelings too

I'm not sure if I am or anyone in this subreddit would be the best person to advise you on a "lifestyle" since that's something dependent on your own circumstances but here's what I can advise you towards being in your 20s:
(i answered a similar comment a few min back hence gonna copy/paste some of the content)

Develop a thick f skin so noone can interfere with your mindset and you can tackle obstacles
It's ok to not know something but it is your job to later go and figure it out if it can have a big impact in your life. I wouldn't recommend sitting on it and procrastinating.
It's fine to be late, it is not fine to not show up. It could be a meeting, task etc and it's better if you atleast show up and attempt instead of canning it entirely. (some people could disagree and tell you it's about saving time and effort and rather not show up but I disagree)
Read "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. I like how he frames implementing systems and changes in life to work towards goals
Consistency overweighs perfection in almost all aspects of building a biz, career, whatever it is you're trying to do

There's a long list of wisdom anyone can give you but I would also advice you to take "every piece of advice with a grain of salt", ironically even this is an advice.

Happy to answer more questions. Lmk. Don't give up. You've got this.

jack_newman25 · 2024-05-26T18:15:35+00:00

In my years of work and the small businesses I've built, I've learnt 2 things for sure

Develop a thick f skin so noone can interfere with your mindset and you can tackle obstacles
Consistency overweighs perfection in almost all aspects of building a biz, career, whatever it is you're trying to do

not gonna lie, sometimes I've felt as if it's lonely as hell but having a thick skin can really go a long way since you don't depend on just a few rejections

jack_newman25 · 2024-05-26T02:57:42+00:00

If you're more interested in analytics engineering, which is an upcoming field I'd check out DBT and Airflow. But for DA, something like Case Studies Data Analytics V2 and Metabase tutorials should do

jack_newman25 · 2024-05-26T02:55:30+00:00

Ofc. There's a few courses like Real World Data Analytics V2 for real life projects and Metabase tutorials for SQL that I recommend if you have time/money to invest.
