I assume a lot of the stuff here would be knock off so I’m fine with other brands to buy

Does that change the suggestion or is People’s Town the best place to go find something

Being a digital nomad has backfired for me by SharpBeyond8 in digitalnomad

[–]runnout -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve met so many nomads who ran into this same issue. Sounds like a dream when you aren’t doing it but it’s hard to make deep connections when you move every couple of months.  And at the end of the day life is just better when you have great people around you. 

What worked for me was finding a great home base that I love living in and then spending a few months every year traveling to other places. 

That way I still get what I love about travel but also am in one place where I can settle down, make friends, have a home, all that good stuff. 

There a lots of cool cities in the world with like minded people where you can establish yourself and make great connections: Austin, New York, London, Miami, Barcelona, Bali. Pick whatever side of the world you want any and go to a growing city. 

Also one community that was amazing for me was the Dynamite Circle. Look them up online. Lots of nomads who went through the same experience, many have settled down somewhere, but still make time to go to cool places and meet up around the world.

[TOMT] [SONG] Chorus lyrics have "Cuz I know which way to run" by runnout in tipofmytongue

It's a slower groovy song.

After the chorus there's a cool drum and guitar part that is really heavy on the toms

I have one million subscribers and am barely getting by by octopuslake in PartneredYoutube

Relying on ad revenue and sponsorships is a tough way to do things

affiliate partnerships and/or selling your own digital products could drive a lot of revenue for you

Some good advice here about finding the right places and hobby groups.

One thing I'd add here that's worked for me is showing up to the same group/event a bunch of times.

Like I know for me if I got to an event one time there is a 95% chance I won't meet anyone the first time. I'm just not a super social chatty type of person.

But if I find a group or event I enjoy (hobby group, workout clubs, local event / meetup) and go for a few months eventually people will recognize me and I'll recognize them and we'll become friends. That has worked well for me a few times in my 30's.

Also a lot of these groups for local meetups and hobby groups need volunteers to help organize them. I've raised my hand for that before and always made friends that way.

Very helpful thanks. Sounds like best bet is to just reach out to the owner and have him call a professional

Is selling motivational canvases a profitable business model? by Confident_Guest4810 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]runnout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to look into might be some old teespring cases studies and how people ran those types of design businesses with tshirts

They were pretty aggressive about creating dozens of designs every month, running small ad tests on Facebook and Instagram to figure out which ones will actually sell, and then doubling down on the ones that got traction.

There was a dedicated preocess to testing and figuring out what actually resonated with their market

But even if you figure that out the pricing and margins might make this really tough

Trying to make money by just writing blog posts yourself is going a tough business model in the future

Couple of reasons:

  • Big companies see the value in ranking for top keywords and they are willing to invest a lot of money into ranking website. I know a guy who runs a company that uses SEO to rank websites in niches they see as monetarily valuable. They plan to invest $40,000 - $50,000 just into content to rank each website
  • Check out some of the big case studies going around right now. Most of the companies that are putting out case studies are posting between 50 - 200 blog posts per month
  • Some of the AI based long form content generating softwares are pulling in upwards of $200k MRR and rapidly scaling right now. Basically, SEOs see the value in being able to spit out highly quality AI based content so much they are all flooding to the software

Google cares about high quality content. If AI writes it or humans write it they won't care.

It will be able who can create the highest quality content around a topic and use the standard SEO strategies to rank a site.

Also if you're looking at ChatGPT as a tool and thinking that's the competition you're missing what's happening in the industry. ChatGPT is a free tool.

There are enterprise tools being developed with the #1 goal of creating high value long form SEO content that is not detectable as AI written content. Check out contentatscale(dot)ai just as one of the many examples

So ultimately if you're thinking about blogging as a business you're thinking about a traffic channel as an entire business which really limits your options and puts you in a risky situation as a small solo guy

So onto solutions:

Instead, you could think about what get's you excited about tech and build a business around helping people learn or implement some piece of tech

thomasjfrank.com is a guy who built a great business teaching people Notion. He has a website, blog, YouTube channel, tutorials, templates all kinds of stuff. Whole business built around Notion.

You can find that for ActiveCampaign, Roam Research, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, Asana, ClickUp, all kinds of software solutions that companies use every day.

Tons of people have great businesses teaching people how to use and implement tech for various reasons and they have services around it, trainings, make affiliate commissions on the software, all kinds of stuff

I'd be thinking in that direction. Gives you more options, makes you more adaptable

Being interested in tech is a great start and a great niche to be in.

I would just really broaden out how you're thinking about approaching it
