> How does one run a printing business without any machines?
I don't have any printing machine. I got all my customers from the internet, so basically we never met. When my customers place orders (from WhatsApp), I would print their orders from a company who actually have a printing machine, then I just sell it more expensive to make profits.
I already do this for about a year now. I went from $100 to $1,000 saving. Which is pretty good money in this country, I can live with that for 5 months.
> Seems like you could do that from anywhere.
Yes, the problem is I need to find another printing company that doesn't cost too much. I'm already thinking about this actually.
Reasons why I am thinking my country is getting worse:
1) Currency. Its value just keep sinking.
2) Safety. What I fear the most is terrorism. There are a bunch of people in the name of religion doing scary things at night just because they think you're wrong. But cops don't care. I honestly never saw cops fight those people. It's scary.
3) Government. Something is wrong here. Even if next year we will have a presidential election, I don't think it'll make things better.
I am not thinking about starting a business or founding start-up. I just want to move to a better place. I honestly don't like my country.
> b) Illegally migrate to another country.
Well, I don't want to break the law. If I have a chance I want to move legally. But as you can say, given my background the chances are very slim.
> c) Migrate within your country to a better comunity. ... If you succeed here another option may open at a later point with higher success probabilities.
I think this is what I am going to do. I don't know how long does it take to make enough money to get out of here, but I'm going to try.
I actually run a small printing business where I make enough money. The bad news is, I don't have any machine or employee, so if I am moving to another city, it'll be hard for me to run my business. The good news is all my customers are coming from the internet, we never meet, and they do repeat order.
This is nice, simple and easy to use. I run a small print shop and have an idea to build something like this, where my customers can upload their design and order from our site.
Is it possible to build something like this without back-end work? Can I build this on static site? I know little bit of JavaScript. We build our static site with Jekyll and GitHub.
Edit: No need to edit the file. They can only upload and order (maybe send it as an email when they push "order"?). That's it, nothing else. Thanks!
First impression: heavy and slow. I use search engine to search something, not to read news or watching pretty pictures. Why not just a search box, a button, and a logo? Sure, it's probably gonna be looks like Google, but hey, it loads faster.
I'm one of those people. Still using US$100 Asus Zenfone 4, running Android K; with 8GB internal memory and 1GB RAM. My phone still looking and running good, no scratches, and no lags. I only use 1.56GB internal memory for apps, nothing fancy, just some apps that I truly need.
The reason I'm not considering to upgrade my Android is because of this article: It's The User Experience, Stupid.[0] I already see Android O in action, and some newest Android devices, but I don't think it's worth my money. So, I'm planning to keep using my 3 year old phone until it's dead.
I make folders with topics and some folders inside them, for example: Design > Tools, Programming > Reads, etc. I name them as short as possible, and no more than one folder inside. Also, I use Pocket. But Pocket doesn't work for me when it comes for saving bookmarks, because when I save too much, it's painful to see that I have too much to read.
It sounds interesting. How do I do that? Can you explain a bit more?
