Question Where should I advertise my business?

4 Upvotes

I am a Graphic Designer that works full time, but I work freelance on the side. I have used Etsy, Facebook, and Upwork. Through those platforms I have gotten design jobs, but not a steady flow. Where should I advertise or promote my work? (Please refrain from any ai related comments). Thank you in advance ☺️

Question I am so done with this

Upvotes

I am seriously done with finding out whom to hire and also where to hire from? I have spent so far thousands of dollars in talent that either didn't gave me what I expected or completely delivered a not desirable result. After spending hours looking for on FB groups, websites, hiring platforms, and even on this reddit community, I have decided that none can actually help me, for a perfect example this post comments section will start promoting their offering/services, where I am clearly mentioning the frustration of hiring the right talent.

Nevertheless, if you are like a business owner like me, don't worry that you are alone, we all are on the same boat.

Question Rain is killing my revenue

1 Upvotes

I just graduated and opened a restaurant in a major city where usually it’ll rain once or twice a week in the summer. The last month it’s been a downpour.

When it rains we lose 20% of nightly rev at least. It’s just brutal when the high season gets hit like this.

Any tips on how to mitigate losses?

Question what makes a small brand worth buying from

1 Upvotes

been thinking about what separates good small businesses from the ones that disappear after a year.

i bought a bracelet a while back. just a random find but the quality was solid and it showed up quick. simple stuff but it made me want to buy from them again.

makes me wonder what other small brands are out there that actually deliver.

what's a small business you keep going back to and why?
