Random Thoughts! v2.0

Yeah, the problem is that the core business goes hand in hand with the CD printer, and eventually a T-shirt printer. I'm gonna be doin a mobile studio thing where I take my recording equipment round to people's gaffs n record their shit on the cheap. My market research told me that I'd have to be able to distribute the material via digital download and disc in order to secure clients, and in other cases I'd also have to print custom t-shirts too, but that'd be during summer.

I'm gonna be doing PC/hard drive repairs and upgrades too, but there's just so many peeps doin it, it's an over-saturated market, so getting the business would be difficult. The music side of things appeals more to aspiring artists coz it's a hell of a lot cheaper than professional studios, and the clients tend to feel more comfortable in their own homes, and doesn't have some nob ed techie lookin down their noses at amateurs who don't really know what they're doin.

And I forgot to mention that I had to cancel on a few prospective clients because the JobCentre told be that I'd be committing benefit fraud. On the plus side though, I've got permission to advertise a The Manchester College campuses, and since City Col merged with MANCAT a few years back, there's a shitload of them. It's just frustrating as fuck atm, coz I've been approved at the worst possible time of the year, and I have to provide them with proof that I'm earning at least £400/month every four weeks in order to continue receiving these payments.

I feel like takin a dump, puttin it in a zip bag and posting it to em.

sounds like a good Idea, if you've got the cd printer already why don't you print peoples mixtapes and albums and shit already? I could give your card to a few people in London so if you do good prices you could earn enough to get the rest of your business running, and don't worry about benefits fraud, as long as it's cash in hand then you'll be fine

I like that business idea though, nice one!

I've got 25 CDs, put need jewel cases, disc trays, possibly more CDs, etc. The money's essentially for stock, and I need those 25 CDs for sample copies. But yeah, if you can do that, it'd be a massive help. Cheers SC!

Mittz and SC, you two are true gentlemen.

I'm too methodical (read: chickenshit) to make a business plan that daring. If I can't secure a loan, i'd work my ass off overtime to raise the money.

[MiTT3NZ]

Sadly it doesn't work that way when you've got a missus n still live with your parents. The more money you have, the less is yours. The best way is to work a part-time job, coz you can easily justify withholding money. When you're earning a full-time wage, you actually end up coming out with less. Fucked up, innit?

Trying to get into painting but finding it very difficult to achieve decent results.

I can only imagine how difficult getting a business off the ground can be with little in the way of up front starting funds and a sub par credit rating. Best of luck to you, mitt.

[MiTT3NZ]

Thanks TDA n Sonikku. Credit rating's waaaayyyyyy below sub-par though lol.

[Riku Rose]

I will give you £1000 for 20% of the business.

[MiTT3NZ]

£2k for 20% or £1k for 10%. And I'm serious.

Finally found a decent copy of Dark Knight Rises online, that's the next few hours sorted.

My plane on Thursday is showing The Dark Knight Rises on demand. Think i will watch it at least twice during the flight.
