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!
Process serving was quite a successful business for me! Your working in the car and then the paper work when you get back home. Again not super rich but still was a great grind and if I stuck to it I could probably gotten it to 100k a year. Then a beautiful 40k+ tax write off due to driving miles.
I was 6 years in getting about 70k a year which is good for 25 yo in WI starting my first business. After covid hit I also got burnt out. Lots of long days and stress but I didn’t delegate my work properly.
Whats wild is my pivot lead me to free lance web design 😂 I wish you the nest
Woah this is cool, thanks for sharing! I’ll look into this. I’d love to drive around for work stuff
