He sure did, but most capital intensive businesses like printing and manufacturing require outside investment of some kind at some point. Most of the people who preach no loans, sell education, not time on equipment. There is also a huge difference between a personal loan on a non income generating purchase vs. an income generating asset like manufacturing equipment.

This is a great tool. we have been using it a couple months now. so thank you. However, im having problems pricing things like vinyl on dibond , we usually charge around $17 per sq foot on dibond signs with vinyl but i would love to know a way to use this calculator for this. also the vinyl we use will be lammed and i dont see a way to do multiple selections to get this figure. thank you in advance

PVC is also thermo forming so will distort permanently with heat, which in warm climates outside can be an issue

It’s one thing to have a channel but the work involved in maintaining it is huge especially to do it on a regular basis. You need to weigh up the amount of time, effort and all associated costs with turning out a video. Is that time and money better spent working on the business or put it into advertising, not a channel for the ROI. Social media can work but like any business you need a strategy, your market and audience especially a business channel. Also you need to drive the audience to your channel unless you want it to grow organically. You are better off doing videos less frequently and do them when you have something of value that will help your subscribers rather than doing a video just to do it. Just my thoughts and l love that you genuinely help people and business.
@Firesprint10 күн бұрын
You're right. It's more of a passion project than an ROI. We love making videos. The question really is, what kind of videos and what information to share. Livestreams are much more work than our typical explainer/talking head videos.
