Corporate Barbie Files- Begin

When I was kid I didn't know what an executive was but I wanted to be one so bad. Now that I know I've decided to aim a bit higher- Chief Financial Officer day job and small business tycoon. ✨🧿

Please do your own research, I'm no expert and I don't want to lead anyone down a weird path

Planning (business plans)

You can get an LLC for less than 200$, 500$ MAX. What makes LLC's expensive are the licenses, fees you pay when registered, and the state you register.

Sole priorerships (depending on your state) don't need to be registered but you forgo the protections that come from having a government recognized business.

Any small business template online is a great resource.

Plan it out for 3 years minimum but think of this business plan as a living document. As you operate your business it will have to change.

Business research!

You need to do your own research on each business you want to start if you want to succeed.

Topics/questions to research

Researching competitors (Strengths & Weaknesses/marketing strategy/Pricing/products and product features)

Market share

Strengths and weaknesses

Your window of opportunity to enter the market

The importance of your target market to your competitors

Any barriers that may hinder you as you enter the market

Indirect or secondary competitors who may impact your success

Customers

Who are your customers and why are they interested in buying your product or service?

What characteristics, interests, desires, pain points and needs do they share?

Where do they live?

How old are they?

What is their education level?

What is their income range?

Which types of websites do they frequently visit?

Where do they currently buy similar products?

Which languages do they speak?

What industry do they work in?

License needed

Growth projection 

Assessing the legal aspects of your industry

Can you reach your target audience? If you're selling inline skates, are you opening in an area with a population of the right age and disposable income?

Is the market saturated?

Your Brand 

Questions you wanna ask

Here are a few methods you can use to do direct research:

Surveys

Questionnaires

Focus groups

In-depth interviews

Ask potential customers 

Questions you wanna ask and answers

Demand: Is there a desire for your product or service?

Market size: How many people would be interested in your offering?

Economic indicators: What is the income range and employment rate?

Location: Where do your customers live and where can your business reach?

Market saturation: How many similar options are already available to consumers?

Pricing: What do potential customers pay for these alternatives?

Best ways to reach customers 

Suppliers, quotes and budget

Sources of funding, uses of funding

Prep

Finding funding, type in your demographic 'black woman/LGBT black woman, ect' and your state + small business funding. Apply for everything. Find space for inventory. Think up promotional material- Vistaprint is amazing for just cheapy slapping your brand on something that others want (candy, notebooks, pens, cute tote bags).

Skills you may need: Negotiation, Manipulation, Marketing, Social media handling, Emotional intelligence, Personal emotional control, Leadership and delegation, Networking, Memorization (names, position and places you met this people), Self discipline, Conversation, Communication.

Just do it

If I wanted until I felt 100% ready I wouldn't have two functional businesses at the moment.

Low risk low reward business ideas

These may not make you rich unless you market to high heaven or get lucky. But they are a great passive income opportunity/place to start.

Vending machine

ATM

Selling books on Amazon/Audible/Printing on demand services

Selling on a ready made sale site- Shopify/Amazon/Esty

Direct sales

High traffic blog for ads

Affiliate marketing blog/social media

Mid-Tier business ideas

Can be scaled up to make 7 figures but after taxes and fees will probably make a steady 6 figures yearly. (Please note that 6 figures can be any where from 100k to 999k. I've noticed a tendency to see 6 figures as only 100k.)

Cafes

Small bar

Small restaurant

Ice-cream truck

Food truck

Website with subscriptions

A clothing line

Makeup or skincare (especially if it has mostly black women in mind- think Black Girl Sunscreen or Fenty Beauty)

Natural hair wigs (as in 3b-4c pattern, its not super common and the ones that are aren't very good nor last very long)

Small hair and nails salon

Haircare product line

Do your own research please, these are just the most common and least expensive I've found entrepreneurs start. They may not work with your skills/personal brand/time constraints/experience ect.

Advice

Have a vanity business!!! A business that matters because you like it so much. One where the success is not based off just money but personal satisfaction. This will keep you from getting bored, too frustrated or purely money driven. Of course a business is money driven but at some point you look up from your work and get distressed from dissatisfaction from being stuck working for money instead of pleasure.

You should be interested in each business you make/engage with a least a little bit.

Break down how much you need to make per day and per week to get to your goal amount. This has helped me mentally, I no longer freak out about the big picture when I'm focused on the main goal of the day/week.

Have a reading list in these 5 categories: Emotional intelligence, Your field of study (finance, tech, medical, beauty), Manipulation/Negotiation, Beauty/Dating/Self-esteem, and Money.

Don't try to build up more than 2 businesses at a time if you're doing it alone. You will drive yourself insane and burn out quickly.

If you do direct sales on the streets make sure you have an incentive for people to actually stop and look at what you have to offer. Something free pretty with your logo or information and matches your brand image. It can be hand made!

Mistakes I made

I relied on one business too much when my goal isn't to scale it too big

I didn't have a workable marketing campaign. People are tired of ads. I'm tired of ads, I had to get creative or rather make the ads less invasive.

I relied too much on online sales. There is way too much competition- I now make 90% of my money from in person sales, there's a 'rush' factor because the pop up shop won't be there tomorrow, and I can make a human connection before I make a sale.

I put too much money into some businesses and not enough into others. Now I have a budget of 200$-500$ for each new business unless I'm buying large equipment that I will own (vending machines, massive printers, ect).

I didn't have enough different types of products. I need variety but I shouldn't panic and make too much or else I'll lose money and have too much inventory.

My mentor had told me to make decisions quarterly (every 3 months) rather than weekly/monthly. This has helped her build her real estate business.

My journey

My motto when it comes to dealing with my businesses is Slow Progress Is Still Progress.

I’ve always wanted to be a higher up in a company- an “executive woman”- I would eat up all the songs and tv shows made for kids about business (Biz kids, Schoolhouse rock mostly). I started my journey with my vanity business because I tired of waiting to get published by a major publishing house. Why not be a major publishing house? As I've come into my own I've realized I want more- more money, more experience, better titles, more power ECT.

My method is to work smarter and never harder: I create a company, place 100% of my attention on it and create systems that make the work I have to do minimal. 1-2hrs of work per day max. Borderline passive income. Then I move on to creating another business when I’m comfortable leaving the previous ones without my direct attention for a while. Being a CEO is all about creating sustainable systems that are efficient, reliable and profitable.

I have 2 functional businesses at the moment, they have been planned out for 2.5 years (I started them at the beginning of the year). I have two more I’m working on both in the ‘finding a reliable vendor’ stage. Once I’m past this part I’ll be ready to launch. I don’t advertise online, I work with the areas I’m in and the small businesses around me. It’s easier and more effective than to interrupt other people’s days by doing online ads. No one likes them and a lot of people will straight up avoid your brand out of spite. I’m in the middle of a rebrand and expansion so that eventually I can reach my goal of making 5k a day from my small business empire.

My journey is a work in progress.

[mayakern]

thank you for the advice on pins ! i am in the process of researching how to set up my shop and i have a couple more questions if you don't mind- at what stage did you feel it was time to open your shop, follower-wise? did it take a long time to become profitable ? i saw you go through a manufacturer for your prints, is it because making them is too expensive? i see you don't make stickers, is there a reason? is a laser cutting machine worth it when debuting ? or superfluous? what did you use to design your website (it's very pretty btw)? do you have advice on getting people interested in checking it out?

how does one deal with sales being down, mentally, and how to be patient in the beginning?

does managing orders require a lot of organization? is a label maker worth the time it saves? in general, do you recomment buying your own machines (printer, or button maker) or stick with manufacturers? also, do you have advice on reconcialiting it with anticapitalism because im feeling conflicted about outsourcing labor and adding products to this world... is setting up shopify very hard ? are taxes a hassle ? sorry if it's a lot, i have trouble wrapping my head around every step i'll have to do and want to avoid beginner mistakes if i can. if you have any other advice and traps to avoid i'd be very grateful

dude this is SO many questions.

the short answer is: everything is hard and takes work.

there is no “right” time to start a shop or start selling stuff. you just kind of do it and hope. i opened mine in college (around 2012 or 2013) because i had already made some merch for a local convention and i wanted to sell the leftovers. my store didn’t become viable as a full time job until around 2017—it was a means to subsidize the income i had from working as a freelance artist.

also i never went into debt for the store so there was never a moment when my store “became profitable.” unless you’re willing to go into debt for this (not something i’d recommend), it’s a slow slog to get to a point where you can afford to sell items with a higher price point at a high enough volume that it is viable as a full career. inventory costs money and the more profitable items cost more money. it takes a lot of time and work and momentum to make this your whole job.

buying your own equipment is only worth it if you plan to use that equipment for multiple years to get a good return on investment.

however a label printer is almost always worth it, but i wouldn’t buy one until you’re getting at least 20 orders a month.

low price point items like buttons and stickers can be good to start out (i used to sell both) but at a certain point, unless you’re selling a massive amount of them there is a limit to how profitable a $3 item can be.

managing a store takes an amount of work/organization that is proportional to the number of products you have/sell. i will say i was an absolute disaster at this when i handled everything myself, which is why the store only became viable as a full time job once devin joined me.

i use squarespace for my portfolio site and shopify for the store. they’re relatively hassle free.

if you’re making most of your income from store or freelance work, find a local CPA to help you do taxes. also keep a running spreadsheet for all your expenses and income. separate your expenses into groups based on the different types of deductions (i.e. office equipment, travel, etc.) and update that spreadsheet, at minimum, once a month. then taxes are easy.

as far as anticapitalist mindset goes… do your due diligence when it comes to sussing out the manufacturers/companies you work with and try to create thoughtfully.

anyway next time you ask for advice please just pick like 3 questions at a time. this was… a lot.

[vodid]

Question if you’re fine answering!

What’s advice you would give young people wanting to open an art store for the first time? If that makes sense?

this is a very general question and there is SO much to cover so i'll just put a buncha different points:

research research research all your store platform options (etsy, shopify, bigcartel, kofi, etc.) before choosing one and, when you find one that will work for you, look into how established artists structure their stores if you need help on building your own. you'll want products to have a decent picture and a description that lists its size and shipment options. not required but def recommended, i'd see about adding a faq page too that mentions shipping times, if you'll replace damaged artwork, etc.

prioritize having pictures of the physical product over the digital file (if applicable) customers want to see what they're getting!

keep track of all your finances (easiest way is to just use a google spreadsheet) track your revenue, fees, production costs, shipping costs, supplies, everything you spent money on for your store. i can give a tutorial on how to set up a spreadsheet if you need!

DO NOT SKIMP on protective measures for your art. buy chipboard, buy plastic sleeves/baggies, buy rigid envelopes, buy extras of your products! have lots of scotch tape! chipboard i think is the most important one that i hear some artists don't use. PLEASE USE IT HSDFSDFS it's a sturdy but flexible and thin piece of cardboard! this will make sure your artwork won't be as easily bent or creased during shipment. you can find these at crafts stores or online!

research post offices in your area. (if US) look into cost of postage, travel times to the post office, if you have a post office with a 24/7 kiosk available, and decide if you are willing to ship international (no shame in choosing not to!) — for this and the last bullet, i have a lot more about how to ship your art if you need it

optional but strongly recommended: handwrite your thank you notes! nothing makes people feel better than to see a personal touch in their order saying it was packaged with care by the artist themselves. you don't need good handwriting to write a simple ty 💕

be annoying about your store. promote it like fucking crazy (on your own blog, please don't self-promo on other ppl's blogs hsdfsdfs) and make it fun!

i hope that helps :') feel free to ask for clarification or about other things and i'll try my best to provide an answer!

and last thing, i'm not sure what you define as "young", but keep in mind that most platforms and paypal require you to be 18 or older to use their services!

Crochetters and knitters: BUYER BEWARE

There is a business named Rebel Yarn Co who used to be named threadhead fiber arts who has attempted to scam me for 56 dollars due to non, shipment, refusing to ship my order and demanding i file a chargeback with my bank and then contested the chargeback, lying that she shipped my order which never happened.

Then freaked out cursing at me, acting like a pathetic bully when I asked her why that happened, blaming Shopify and how she’s not part of anything that has to do with her own business. I had to demand she stop yelling at me and how I did not place a preorder, she ignored everything I said and ranted on and on.

This person is unstable, a liar and has currently scammed thousands from many people between Oct 2022 and March 2023.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PERSON. She primarily advertises on Instagram but I’m warning here as well.

She is blocking everyone who attempts to contact her about missing orders and screams/curses at you a mile a minute when the never ending list of health conditions, mental health conditions and car accidents don’t work as manipulation tactic. She’s a chronic liar and regularly makes things up. I have already escalated this with my bank to get my refund and sent my complaint to the DA of NC. This will likely become a class action suit judging her behavior and the volume of people involved. she has already been removed from a yarn crawl but I don’t want this happening to anyone else.

If you’ve ordered from her, contact your bank immediately!! there is a Reddit about this as well, send me a message if you want the link to be in touch with everyone else she scammed. It’s the same story for everyone.

[northstardice]

Now that the giveaway has ended how can we buy the dice?

I am currently working on a Shopify store. It should be open by next week! (:

[waterparksdrama]

thoughts on the hiidef extra stock and refund stuff? I just don’t understand how they suddenly found tons of extra products that they didn’t know about. It seems more likely that this extra stock was hidden to make it seem like his stuff sold out. Hiidef is a small business, I’m not believing that they just lost all of this stuff. And with the random refunds… it probably was just a technical error with Shopify, but it was handled so poorly. Like “hey we accidentally refunded your order but there’s still like one shirt left on the website if you want to buy it again! Oh wait never mind awsten just tweeted that there’s more available so it’ll prob be sold out before you can buy it again haha sorry!!” And once again awsten is ignoring the situation like he always does when people call him out. (I also think it’s hilarious how the sweatshirt sweatshirts have never sold out, not even now)

i mean it was always kinda shady in the first place how much stock was there in the first place but he really needs to get off his high horse to realize how broken their entire system is considering they only have a small amount of people actually handling the stock and attempting to run the website + high demand from scarcity marketing - iz

Starting a Blog

As of 2021, there are more than 570 million blogs on the internet, based on activities reported by WordPress, Tumblr, Blogger, Wix, Squarespace, and Medium (and this number is constantly growing) (firstsiteguide).

Now do not get overwhelmed, the one thing is though blogs are growing rapidly, and so are people reading blogs. Of course, blogs are saturated, but when you niche down and find your audience then you can achieve your space in this sea of bloggers.

Starting a blog, yesterday, today, tomorrow, is possible as long as you are using proper rules, like optimizing your SEO, giving unique content to your readers, and more. But, the best day to start blogging for your profit is today and now.

Use carousals, reels, IGTV, go live to show behind the scenes of your work, and more!.

Starting a T-Shirt Business

Whether you’re an artist, writer, designer, or entrepreneur, physical products can be the perfect canvas for monetizing your creativity. Yes, you heard that right. You can start your own merch for free. Starting an online T-shirt business is booming in this era an why don’t you be one of them. You do not need to hold any inventory, just design your t-shirt online and publish it.

Let me make it clear. So what is print on demand? How to start your free t-shirt business

Print on demand is a process where you work with a supplier to customize white-label products (like baseball hats or tote bags) with your own designs to sell them on a per-order basis under your own brand.

That means you don’t pay for the product until after you’ve actually sold it, so there’s no need to buy in bulk or hold any inventory yourself.

Plus, with print-on-demand services, everything after the sale, from printing to shipping, is handled by your supplier. Once you’ve set everything up, it takes only a few clicks to fulfill an order once you’ve made a sale.

You can use print-on-demand services to:

Test a business idea or new product line for an existing business without the risks that come with buying inventory.

Monetize an audience you’ve built. Printing on demand is a great option if you’re a YouTuber, cartoonist, or social media influencer who wants to spend your time creating content instead of fulfilling orders.

Create original products for a niche of customers. For example, apparel for people who are passionate about gaming.

Easily print one-off items—t-shirts, books, shoes, bags, wall art, phone cases, clocks, laptop skins, mugs, and so much more. You can send these as gifts or keep them for yourself and your team (source-Shopify)

You can get started with print on demand for almost free with teespring, redbubble, printful . Or you can start your online store on Shopify and sell them as a custom branding.

Do not worry if you are not a pro in graphic designing. You can design your t-shirt on canva and paste the design on your t-shirt too. This is a legitimate and easy business for beginners online. You can promote your merch by using SEO, keywords, and various social platforms.

Let's take a look at the print on demand statistics:

This statistic depicts the market value of the custom t-shirt printing market worldwide from 2016 to 2025. In 2016, the global custom t-shirt printing market was valued at 1.16 billion U.S. dollars, and was forecast to reach a value of 3.1 billion U.S. dollars by 2025.

This is insane amount the industry is making from print-on-demand only.

Selling on Etsy

Etsy is an online market place that works as an intermediary between customers and artists, crafters of handmade items or collectors of vintage products. The company engages in customer to customer (C2C) or peer to peer (P2P) e-commerce in which both the seller and the buyer are private individuals or micro-businesses.

Etsy is a huge commerce platform, with an especially strong US presence. Plus, the fact that most sellers are multi-channel retailers—and also selling their products on marketplaces like Amazon and Shopify sites—suggests that the platform isn’t just for amateur makers. It’s for eCommerce businesses.

So if you’re already selling handmade or vintage products on another platform, it’s worth it to expand and start selling on Etsy.

If you’re starting a business, it’s important to run the numbers before setting up shop—or at least quitting your day job. Etsy does have associated costs, though it’s worth noting that the listing and transaction fees are lower than other platforms, like Amazon and eBay. (cre: veeqo)

is it bad that I’m kinda proud of the community for crashing the merch website

like obviously im not happy abt how much it stressed out ranboo n stuff and it kinda sucks that it was down just a little bit but

SO many people wanted to buy his merch. That shopify crashed. That’s pretty friggin cool. That’s a lot of people going “YO LOOK AT THIS COOL DUDE IM GONNA BUY HIS STUFF AND SUPPORT HIM AND BE SOMETHING OF A WALKING ADVERTISEMENT”

like idk that’s pretty funny and cool to me

[mayakern]

if all these anons complained to shopify about there not being a way to hold items in cart maybe they'd change it but I guess it's easier to tell you how you've ruined their entire month. like I understand it's disappointing when you don't get to buy a limited item but. berating small business owners for not being as smooth a shopping experience as Amazon is ridiculous.

honestly i just think people expect me to have total control over every aspect of my store, which i just… don’t. 😓

i do plan to reach out to shopify about the cart/checkout issue but i haven’t had time yet. there’s just a lot going on.

How to design a Shopify "Buy One Get One Free" promotion

You may be aware, as an online businessperson, that there are many strategies to enhance your sales, and discounts can be one of them. Discounts are perceived as one of the most effective short-term techniques that businesses may use as long as their inventory is still present and there is no reduction in quantity. But it is true that not all discounts are created equally. Discount discounts are a nice option, but Buy One Get One has recently become more popular. We will go over more specifics about Buy One Get One (BOGO) and how to implement buy one get one free on Shopify in order to increase your sales and profit.

Buy One Get One is one of the most popular promotional strategies in use today. There is just one motive for this: to raise the average order value by getting customers to add more items to their carts.

On the buyer's side, people typically anticipate receiving something for free when they shop. With Buy One Get One, clients will feel as though they are getting something extra, which will encourage them to make additional purchases. Additionally, according to recent studies, buyers who receive a 50% discount on an item are more likely to purchase twice as much as they otherwise would.

How to configure Shopify for Buy One Get One Free

First, sign in to your Shopify account. You must first connect in to your Shopify account using your email address and password.

Step 2: Select the Discounts section. To access the discount page in this phase, select the Discounts area on the left side of the screen.

Choose Create Discount Code in step three. Your page will appear empty if you haven't created any discounts. To proceed, click the Create Discount Code button located directly on the page to begin creating your discount code.

Step 4: Enter the promotional code You can enter the discount code to proceed. Customers will receive this code and add it to their checkout when using it. Shopify gives you the option to generate code or let you write your own.

Choose the Buy X, Get Y option in step 5. You can select Buy X Get Y from the options section to go to the discount page.

Step 6: The Customer Purchases section You can educate your clients about the high-quality goods they must purchase in order to receive the discount in the Customer Buys section.

Step 7: The Clients Receive You can show what considerations your consumers will have while buying things in the Customers Gets section. Customers could, for instance, buy everything in your store and get a 50% discount on one item, but they could only do this once per order.

the customer eligibility in Step 8 You can easily set the discount to be offered to customers, specific groups of people, or an individual in the Customer Eligibility section.

The Usage Limits in Step 9 The restriction for this coupon can be adjusted in the Usage limits section. With Shopify, you can specify how many times a coupon can be used before restricting it to a specific consumer. For example, you permit your clients to apply this voucher 10 times by numerous people.

Set the dates in Step 10 As you can see, there are dates that indicate the validity of the discount. Your customers won't lose their validity if you don't save the date.

Step 11: Look over the Summary on the left. You can review the Summary at this stage, which is on the left. When everything has been changed as necessary, select the Save Discount button at the bottom or click the Save button at the top to save your changes.

What a ride huh?

So much has happened. I just moved into a new place with my GF. Spending a little time on myself this summer also. This fall I am going to be relaunching Odio as a proper brand. I have got all my licensing worked out and paid up. We are now experimenting with the best ways to print on clothing. There will be a few limited screen printed shirts coming out soon. I am going to link a shopify to my insta to sell them as well as limited prints with the goal of buying a pro grade clothing printer. That will be going live in the next couple of months, and will be how to acquire physical work until I get my official site set up. Until then if you would like to support my efforts please check out odioart/patreon.com.  I am currently working on some new art also got some new events coming up. (Beautiful boys, the annual Junji Ito retrospective, and the return of DAICON V.) Thank you so much for all the support. Thank you so much for allowing me to create, color, and figure out the next steps on this weird little creative journey.  The Best is yet to come...  - Wolfgang Von Odio
