    Building a subscription box business

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Update 19/10/2020 I've been quiet on this thread but have made some really nice progress over the last month. I've been having bags of fun with it and have been really enjoying the process. For me this is the first time I've created a true brand, which I'm learning a lot from. My Instagram...

    I've made £610 in 16 days using Etsy in a brand new sector.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Amazing! 16 days to achieve what you have done is fantastic. Proof is in the pudding! I've got a couple of questions: The amount of visits you have had in a short amount of time for a new shop is crazy impressive... what's driving that traffic? Is it purely your Insta? or are you having any...

    How to instill hard-working values in my kids

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I heard about (cannot remember where but it stuck with me), whereby a persons son asked for £1,000 for something. Instead of giving the son the £1,000, the dad set him a challenge. He would loan him the £1,000, which he could then use to try and make the £1,000 through some sort of business...

    Book recommendation: How I built this by Guy Raz

    I'm sure you all know of the podcast How I Built this, where Guy interviews some of the biggest founders in modern history. It's one of my favourite podcasts, hearing about the journey people have taken to get to where they are now. He has now put his learnings of his interviews in a book...

    Several same businesses?

    I mean big holding companies do it all the time right... players like Unilever/Proctor and Gamble own many brands that would be seen as each others "competitors", but really are just owned by the same parent.

    That's an interesting product... does it come up with good suggestions or are they a bit generic? I can imagine it being useful, especially with the scheduler

    Building a subscription box business

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Update 16/09/2020 The plan now is to make 80 initial boxes and to try and sell them as validation for the business before going down the subscription route. The reason for 80 is that it gives me a enough scale to create good packaging (which is vital) and to test a couple of different SKU's to...

    The Weirdest Business Model (worth copying)

    HOT! 
    I wonder if there is something in this but without the death? How many people have family feuds/bad relationships all because of poor communication and would love to tell their dad/mum/brother/sister etc. truly how they felt about certain situations but could never actually face up to it.

    Here's what one YouTube channel's growth looks like over 13 years

    So interesting how much it spiked and he become an "overnight success" after 10 years. Shows that being a content creator is all about consistency over a long period... too many people are waiting for that "viral" moment.

    Building a subscription box business

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Update 03/09/2020 I've stopped my ads, the results sucked and it was draining money. Hard to know whether my ad sucked, landing page sucked or idea sucked. I have a feeling it could be a mixture, but I still think the idea well executed could work and there is a big audience for it. I've been...

    Building a subscription box business

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    It's basically a recurring delivery of a box which contains a bunch of products focused on a particular niche. The customer might be sent a box each month, 2 months or 3 months. Generally they are really focused boxes, so could be anything from a kids craft box, beauty box, arts and craft box...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Yeah that's my reservation about validating an idea with landing pages, is that you need a fairly big budget to tinker with ads before you get the magic sauce right. Good idea about switching to LAA as soon as I have another data I think ill do that. For the survey I used surveymonkey... it's...
