    Balancing business and a baby - struggling and in need of tips!

    I’ll get straight to it. We had our first baby 6 months ago and wow, my expectations of keeping up with my business were… optimistic to say the least.

    I’ve spent the last two years growing my business from scratch and finally everything feels like it is falling into place with it. It is making money beyond what I ever expected but I still have a lean team and do a lot of the work myself, which is feeling more and more difficult every day with new little bubba here.

    I feel torn between my ambitions and wanting to be a good mom. On one hand, if I dedicate the time my business needs now, I can afford to give my little one opportunities later in life that I never had and all round have a really nice standard of living, but on the other hand, I don’t want to be the absent mom who could have been home more.

    I feel stuck between not wanting to lose myself and everything I’ve worked so hard for. It took so much to get here and is more than I’ve ever had or even imagined having. And also, I love what I’ve created and still have so much fire in my belly. But at the same time, I only have so many hours in a day and I don’t want to be a useless mom. I’m tired and feeling defeated today.

    I guess I just want to rant and possibly get some advice from people who have done it before. Sorry for complaining over such a trivial problem when I know there are moms out there going through much worse. I’m usually not such a negative nelly!

    Enhancing Your Twitter Presence: Detailed Strategies for Boosting social brand Engagement for business

    After 14 months of experimenting with growth on Twitter, I launched a tool that grows Twitter faster than ever.

    After 14 months of experimenting with growth on Twitter, I was disappointed because there were no results. I decided to implement my very old idea. I created upvote.club, a service that solves the main problem for aspiring Twitter users: how to gain initial reach for their posts and grow followers as quickly as possible.

    The main issue is that social media algorithms only show posts to a broader audience if they get engagement in the first "golden hour" and from a relevant audience. Without initial likes and comments, a post just sinks. I also found a tweet by Natia Kurdadze mentioning that X Blue gives a 2x boost to posts, while likes give a 30x boost, comments give a 50x boost, reposts a 20x boost, and visual content a 2x boost. This is spot on—until you hit your first thousand followers, engagement is as vital as oxygen. Every like on your post is worth its weight in gold."

    In fact, there are two ways to get Twitter followers:

    1. Posting endlessly (which becomes a full-time job—ask anyone who’s grown their profile about the time they invested at the start).
    2. Getting a lot of reactions on your posts. I decided to focus on this aspect because it seems to be the most impactful.

    My top priority for the service is real users, no bots or spam. I've implemented strict moderation thresholds for starting to use it.

    How it works section should be:

    1. Register and add your Twitter account
    2. Create a task for what you need: likes, reposts, comments, followers
    3. Real users from the community immediately start doing what you ask
    4. In return, you help others, earning points for doing so
    5. We do not show completed tasks to users who complete them
    6. You get only new, clear, and fresh actions

    I spent several weeks talking with influencer marketing agencies, and 9 out of 10 told me that they support each post their influencers publish with likes, comments, and reposts within the first hour. They go all-in on the post as an agency.

    would be glad to hear your feedback. I have a promo code that gives you 30 extra points, which is worth approximately 15 followers, likes, reposts, or comments.

    Advice welcomed

    I started a soup business 10 years ago for 6 years. We were really successful however 5 years ago I had to close it. It has always been on the back of my mind to do something with it. Unfortunately I cannot make the soups at this time. So what can I do with this little business of mine? Blog, courses? Or do I just close it first good?

    The face aspect

    I got a critique from a potential client that because my face isn’t on my website and “no one knows who I am so it could be a scam”. Mind you, I already do most functions in the biz while I try to close the deals AND I’ve met the potential client in person and via zoom so they have a face, they know it’s legit. When on earth am I supposed to find time to be an influencer too. Worst part is I see the positives because influencers get business right off the bat whether they’re good at the core biz or not. Sigh. The internet helps in a lot of ways but the req to be the loudest voice on the internet is not for everyone 😭😭. Anyways this is my little rant about how I have to become an influencer against my will if I really want my business to go places.

    Videos Boost Sales By 47%

    As the title suggests, I managed to achieve a huge boost in my sales after I started using videos for promotion. Honestly, I was blown away when I saw the results—my sales increased by 47%! This helped me hit my annual targets and significantly increase revenue, even though I never expected just a video could have this kind of impact.

    For me, it started out small. I was just learning the basics of creating content, figuring out the best way to engage audiences, and using videos effectively. It wasn’t easy at first, but over time, I realized I could reach numbers I’d only dreamed of.

    I know that many people feel video creation is complex and overwhelming, but if you’re one of those, I’d recommend trying Instadoodle. It’s a quick and easy tool that helps you create high-quality videos, even if you don’t have a lot of experience.

    I’m sharing this not to brag, but to motivate anyone in this field, especially if you're feeling stuck or unsure where to begin. Sometimes, just one small step, like adding video to your marketing content, can make all the difference in your career path.

    Keep going, keep experimenting, and learn from your mistakes. Over time, you might just see results that exceed your expectations.

    If you love pets, you might like this idea

    So I recently came across this business idea from this video and decided to do more research to find out if this could actually be a profitable side hustle. If you're trying to make some extra cash on the side and you love pets, this is for you.

    What if you could hang out with pets all day—and make good money doing it? As people travel and search for personal, trusted care options, pet boarding from home is booming. It’s not just a kennel alternative; it’s a cozy, reliable option for people who treat pets like family.

    People want a real home environment for their pets—not a stark, noisy kennel. Boarding from home means you get to offer a level of comfort and familiarity that big facilities can’t match, and it’s a win-win for pets and owners alike.

    Chances are, there’s demand, especially if you’re near local boarding facilities with waitlists or if you spot ads from pet owners looking for reliable help. When summer rolls around, travel spikes, and so does the need for pet care. You could have clients lined up just by tapping into these seasonal peaks.

    Let's do the math, If you can reserve 3 dogs each day and charge around $35/dog, that's over $100 per day for boarding, working 20 days out of the month could net you a cool $2,000. Just doing weekends could bring in around $800 a month—plenty for some extra pocket money. The low overhead means you can keep a lot of this revenue.

    Depending on where you live, local licenses and permits could be required, especially if you’re working from home. Not the most thrilling step, but it’s what separates the pros from the amateurs—and keeps you on the right side of zoning laws and animal care regulations.

    Pet-proofing is key too, like getting rid of any houseplants that might be toxic to curious sniffers. Keeping it tidy with pet-safe cleaning products is a must if you want owners to trust their pets are safe and well cared for.

    Offer services beyond the basics. Boarding is a given, but what about pet daycare for busy weekday clients? Extras like pet grooming or photo updates might seem small, but they can add up. People will happily pay for the extras if it means they know their pets are getting premium care.

    So, how do you get the word out? Start simple: a basic website or a Google My Business profile, and a few social media posts go a long way. Pet photos are a social media hit, so share cute moments of your guests (with permission). And don’t forget local pet spots like vet offices or pet stores—they can be invaluable for word-of-mouth referrals.

    What’s the toughest part of pet boarding? Probably handling a few rowdy guests now and then. Some pets might be anxious or take time to adjust, but tricks like soothing music or extra playtime often do the trick. This business model is one of the best ways to merge passion with profit!

    Validate my Idea

    so I made an app - it's available on App Store but I want to change some things - the idea is that it brings people closer together IRL. basically like bumble bff but you get event suggestions based on vibes in the chat using some Emotion Recognition AI. It basically picks up on how you are feeling, how the person you are chatting with is feeling and gives you local event/meetup suggestions - so its kinda mutual and no one has the pressure of asking the other one out.

    U also get to meet up faster instead of texting forever on dating apps and mindless swiping.

    What do you guys think? does it sound like sth you'd sign up for or am I delulu that people want this?

    A small productivity tip for busy women building something meaningful alongside everything else!

    Hey ladies! If you’re balancing work, family, and trying to grow a side hustle or business, here’s a little productivity nugget that’s been a game-changer for me: Focus on just 3 priorities each day. It’s so easy to get caught up in the never-ending to-do list, but narrowing it down to three main tasks helps me stay focused and prevents that overwhelmed feeling by the end of the day.

    Let me know if you have something that works (or doesn't work!)

    Would anyone use this?

    I'm sick of being lonely.

    I'm thinking of making an app that helps you find other people for really basic but important things (i.e find someone to study with, a few people to get dinner with)

    I'm just sick and tired of TikTok/Instagram trying to hog all of our dopamine. I want to make something that actually improves people's real lives.

    Could I kindly ask for feedback on this idea? Be honest.
