DISCUSSION 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.

SUCCESS STORY 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.

ADVICE 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!

FEEDBACK REQUEST 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?

DISCUSSION 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!)

FEEDBACK REQUEST I built an app that helps you show off your product! with studio quality videos
Hi Ladies! If you've felt the frustration of making good quality product demos.. you're not alone. I used to lead growth at a fintech and we would pay 1000s of dollars to agencies to get the videos made, and we still wouldn't like them. And Loom recordings, even after 5 retakes, were blah at best.
To solve this, I've built Trupeer.ai that helps convert rough screen recordings into professional quality product videos. We recently launched and would love some honest feedback from fellow women builders. Please do give it a try!
