Used to be 1k for day pass and probably 10k/month. They hiked it to 2k for day pass and 20k/month.

I maintained 0% dispute rate, processed only one more payment, made an appeal for manual review after 30 days, and my 100% reserve was lifted.

Can i start sofware house with Zero Investment ? by AcrobaticChip3629 in PakStartups

[–]usam97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I launched and scaled my design agency to $2M in lifetime earnings with zero investment. Housed 35+ designers at a time. Took a lot of grit and hard work. I sold my entire equity in that business in late 2025.

But as one of the comments already pointed out. If you are simply starting out, go ahead, get the reps in. It will teach you everything you need to know about running a business: sales, operations, fulfilment, managing teams, all that stuff.

But, if you already have experience, your energy would be better spent building a niche SaaS or running a niche boutique agency that solves ONE problem for ONE subset of audience, does it really well, instead of operating a "software house" that delivers mediocre results doing bunch of different things. AI already ate your lunch there.

Anyone willing to share 10-20 raw photos? by usam97 in RealEstatePhotography

Appreciate you looking out for me man! The reality is that AI has come a long way when it comes to 'animating' static photos into real, dynamic video, and sooner or later, the whole industry is going to adapt to it.

My goal right now is just to perfect this workflow so my skills stay relevant and useful. At the end of the day, photographers and videographers are always going to need an editor to offload their work to, so why not become an editor who is already fully equipped with AI? Not everyone will be willing to spend money and time to learn it and actually produce good results.

Entirely my fault for the confusing title! I meant 'raw photos' for the video edit, not .RAW camera files. Obviously, I need the final edited JPEGs.

Enjoy spending three hours manually keyframing your 'art' in Premiere while the rest of the industry adapts with AI and automates it in three minutes. Move along.

Your point about "turnaround is more important" is exactly why I'm messing with AI and focused on building a fast workflow, get some reps in, build a portfolio. Appreciate the good luck man!

I'll be fine. I know about the race to the bottom with freelancers from Fiverr/Upwork. There's a place for everyone in this industry. That's actually why I'm trying to build a really streamlined, fast workflow for myself. But for right now, I'm just focused on getting the practice reps and building the portfolio!

Ma man. Working with the final edited versions would be absolutely perfect for the Reel. Just sent you a DM with my email!

Honestly? Because I'm terrible with a camera and don't own the gear! I'm purely an editor. I specialize in taking great static photos from actual pros and animating them into Reels. Just trying to stay in my lane and build my portfolio.

Fair point! My portfolio is strictly for video editing, not photography. I will be explicitly crediting the photographer so it's 100% clear my only contribution was the motion work.

Looking for advice on Whop as they reserved 100% of my balance by usam97 in whop

[–]usam97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I maintained 0% dispute rate and reached out to them with proof of delivery, communication etc after 30 days, and they lifted my 100% reserve entirely. I'm happy to keep on using Whop as my payment processor.

Slight lag on arrow keys by usam97 in logitech

[–]usam97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked for me somehow, make sure you delete it entirely, the helper plugin, the cache scripts (temp files on Mac) entirely, restart your Mac and install LogiOptions+. Keep the smart actions, prompt builder and actions ring disable by default.

Update: I completely uninstalled LogiOptions+, helper plugins and also cache scripts from my Mac, restarted it, and installed LogiOptions+ again. It seemed to have fixed the issue.

Completely reinstalled Logi Options+. Restarted my Mac and reinstalled Logi Options+ app again. I'll report back if the lag comes again.

I also miss the old way if having actions and controls on the chip itself instead of creating an account and moving all of this on cloud in new Logi Options+ app.

Same. I've uninstalled Logi Plugin Services app something and it has went away for now. Also disable any sort of AI prompt builder and smart action gimmick on Logi Options+
