21 sats \ 0 replies \ @Kontext 29 May \ on: What small business would you enjoy running on your own? Why? AskSN
Already doing it: #784376
Why? Because:
- I want to help extend Bitcoin circular economy
- It's a location-independent business
- I think there are underutilized opportunities in the gift card resale space
- I think copyright free media needs to be more of a thing
- I want to give fellow bitcoiners ways to save and earn sats
- Hopefully the platform will also, at some point, act as a way to orange pill newbies
I can't say that I really enjoy running it thus far for a variety of reasons, including: starting it and getting some traction has been way more difficult than I thought, I'm not yet able to pay a salary to myself (not to mention being able to hire anyone else), there has been little to no interest both from the customers as well as potential investors, lots of technical and accounting questions popping up at all times which I would rather not deal with, etc. All in all, it's a lot of work and the value it's providing to the ocmmunity thus far seems to be rather negligible.
That being said, I'm happy I've taken this path and I'm still hopeful that it may offer some value to bitcoiners and businesses around the world, and that I will be able to pay my bills and provide for my future family through this business at some point.
Now, I actually have a whole list of possible business ideas I'd be keen to try, some other examples:
- Hostel/coworking/coliving space combo (could also include a cafe, yoga studio, gym, library, live events, etc.)
- Cafe/restaurant specializing on keto/carnivore/animal based offerings
- Website/service facilitating mentorships
- A Festival combining: Bitcoin, music, yoga, food, freedom tech
