Snake-Pit Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I wonder if I could self publish? What would a publishing company need? Think Snakepit, think Snakepit... They would need; For hard copies; a place to print produce; a printing house, a printing press, computers (probably Apple), staff, a warehouse; and a way to sell; Be it internet, market stall or hopefully, to the high street/America through other vendors such as reputable/trusted names already in place all buying my books and stuff. Oh yeah, and an account! Since, y'know, I'd be self employed, an employer and as well as receiving royalty monies for my own stuff paid to me by sales from the company etc...

Snakes, I run a publishing company. Yes, you could self-publish. (Judging by the amount of content you produce here). You will need all the things you listed. But before all that, you'll need an author who can write. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hit my first real low in self-employment yesterday. One of my long-term big paying clients has decided not to use my (nor any other designers' services). That is fine. Me finding out about it by them publishing their plans on Facebook to a general audience was classy AF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not ever so bad kiddo, these things happen, its part of the game innit, no custom is guaranteed to ya, whats important is you dont burn any bridges because in my experience often a couple years down the line people often come back and that.

Indeed, you're completely right. They were always hard work, and always quibbled invoices. Just sent them a polite email thanking them for their custom, and wishing them the best of luck with their new plans. I'm just more peeved that I found out via a public Facebook announcement, rather than a quick email or phone call to explain to me why I might struggle to pay my bills in the future. Spoiler Hopefully won't be as desperate as that, but 6 months ago I was dependent on them in that way. Anyway, in better news, it looks like I'm moving house and getting a HOME OFFICE, instead of working on the sofa in my matchbox-sized studio flat.

Gracii Guns Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 I thought I was reaching a new height with my business. We've just launched an absolute cracker of a magazine, and we're all set to do a second issue. Got the call today that the client has just incurred a massive bill from someone else, and can't afford another issue. Alongside last week's news, I'm back to square one with my business. As much as I love magazines, I'm not sure if there's any money in them. Going to mull things over on my holiday and see what Icome up with. I now have the time for a permanent part-time job, but as we all know, I'm crap at getting those. Any ideas, guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key of a good businessperson is to get back on the horse! Don't let failure discourage you; Learn from your mistakes, cut your losses, move on/Get back on the horse with business #2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask no questions, hear no lies. 'The former'... which is great since I was in the market for a P.O Box anyway, I found something much better. My family used to have a business on Greek Street in the 1920s right, so 2016, I saw it, I know it etc...
