For the past decade I've worked as a solopreneur web designer but I'm burnt out. What can I pivot to that has less of an online/social media focus? (alien.top)

I live comfortably and my business is doing fine. Not crazy rich, but my bills are paid and I'm not paycheck to paycheck.

My business heavily relies on showing up online though, especially social media.

I hate being on camera and haven't been able to successfully outsource social media since the agencies/freelancers I've worked with still want me to film content. I get it, because that content converts better. People are hiring ME and it's tough to outsource your own face!

But frankly I'm drained and can't imagine doing this for years to come. My mental health also dips down so bad when I open Instagram, TikTok, etc.

This might be a crazy ask in 2023 but are there ANY industries with less of an online focus? Or industries where it's easier to outsource "showing up online" to someone else?

I worked in corporate communications prior and would like to keep working for myself. But I'm not sure what my next entrepreneurship step should look like. I don't mind needing to learn new skills either.

Any ideas on industries I could pivot to? If you run a successful business where you don't personally have to show up online, I'd love to know more!
