Hire a tax accountant, it's write off cost anyway.

I'm a childrens picture book author, I do have a distributor "Ingram Content" but when it comes to promotion, marketing, building the brand and scheduling apperances....that's all me....www.jasper-n-friends.com

I am solo. Consulting / advisory services.

Hire a tax accountant, it's write off cost anyway.

Just me wearing way too many hats, waiting for at least one of my ventures to click.

Been a glass artist/glassblower for the past 15+ years and I’m spent on that one.

Staying within the creative realm, I started making pop-up cards.

I started getting a lot of requests from Cricut and Silhouette machine users to sell my design files for these cards. So I spun off another site recently where I sell the SVG files for some of the pop-up cards I design, and other SVG design files.

Both of these things require tons of work but hoping it’ll pay off, soon!

Me. I started my business a year ago, and I am still struggling for my first customer. No enough money to hire anyone. I am pretty slow all by myself and still have many things to learn, especially marketing and designing. Much harder than I thought as a NLP engineer a year ago.

Is there a dedicated soloprenuer subreddit?

Yeah man…

Fintech, equipment finance, B2b.

Tried to build a platform and just been chasing the dragon down a rabbit hole.

So much success but so much time to get here.

I feel like that clip of a guy who tries to pick up his hat, but every time he bends over he kicks the hat further down the road and never gets it no matter how hard he chases it.

Get a VA or someone similar on Upwork. Great for research, drafting, booking things or time consuming jobs. Phillipines are great for this.

Started out that way for the first 3 years but it became too much for me to handle once the business really scaled. Now I have 2 people to pick and pack orders (both part time), a freelance bookkeeper and a marketing agency (Although I'm bringing this back in house so will be doing all the marketing myself for a while).

I still do most things myself...

Order inventory, most web dev stuff, upload new products, create blog posts, email marketing, all social media, some customer service etc.

you need co-founders man

I dunno, busting nuts ain’t that hard. The different categories and best videos definitely helps.

Const. & Snow Management, 100% legit, hired help when i need it.

Anyone working on ballistic film that want a partner?

I do it all by myself but I'm not a dude

Branding for startups - brand strategy, visual identity, messaging, website, presentations, sell sheets, swag, and social

I love it! I get to meet a lot of founders all over the world and help them put their company in the best light to attract customers and investors

Been doing it three and a half years.

I started selling online in 2010. All 5 Ventures failed miserably.
Currently, I am a full-stack software engineer here in TX working with a Fortune 500 company.
I have a dream to have my own business.
This time, My brother will also help me. He is also a software developer.
So, Me and My brother want to go on a little adventure.
You got it right.
Obviously, the straight path is to start with a "Web Design Agency" We want to help SaaS entrepreneurs.
We like to work with SaaS entrepreneurs, from idea validation to live-in production.

Just me: online reputation management. Getting clients is difficult, and when I get one, I work at anytime/anywhere, which I like.

Lies, more people steal profit. Just do all yourself and keep all the monies.

E-comm, made-to-measure womenswear. Doing it all myself including production.

I do: designing, patterning, product testing, customer service, Shopify design and management, sewing, photography, photo editing, copy, social media, and marketing.

I’ve hired a friend as an assistant this month as a trial to see if it would be worth bringing a studio assistant on. So far they’re still in a training period but my god my life is 100x better now.

My only issue is I don’t have a ton of business savings yet as I’ve just become profitable, so I don’t necessarily want to take someone on part-time without 3 months of their salary saved up in the event of lean times. Is that standard practice? I’ve never hired on an employee so I’m wondering how you all handle it.

Dude look like a lady - think before you speak lol

For the most part, I’m still wearing all the hats. Hired a sales rep, didn’t work out. My wife occasionally helps me label and pack our products, but with a toddler she has to spend more time with him.

I’m tired.

My business consistently profits over 5 figures a month, but I’m in a position where there’s really no hiring I can do right now to take the load off. I’ve been considering using 3pls for a bit, but that’s just not the bottleneck that needs to be taken care of first. I’m taking a few days off after some big markets this week to sort of enjoy the holidays and refresh and then I have to get the rest of my end of years purchase orders out. After that, I’m hibernating and changing the way we do business to squeeze more profit with less volume as well as starting another business to help people in my position.

One man, kind of. I have one full time developer and the rest is me. It's chill. My solution is software, specifically an AI assistant that joins your meetings and reads your emails, takes notes, updates CRM, etc

I did it before with 3 partners and grew it to 1500 employees....it sucked.

I have my leadership coaching company after 20years leadership role in corporate, I immediately got an accountant as I know I don’t want to spend time on this ( even though mg background was finance)

Me. Formulating cosmetics. But the past month I’ve been fully focused on Israel-Gaza and haven’t been producing at all.
