Just a guy on the internet, totally a human and not an alien, if that’s what you were wondering.

  • Be confident and know your worth. Don’t accept the job without getting explicit details on the salary. Surprisingly often, jobs will try to hire people before ever actually showing them, on paper, what they are willing to pay. Or worse, they might lowball you in the interview when the job posting was for a higher wage. Don’t get exploited by a company just because they make the first offer to hire you, there are more opportunities than this one.





  • The key to success in crafting is to make things people already want, but nobody else is making. Browse through your inner circle or target audience and read comments. A lot of people want to spend money, they just want to buy a product they relate to or something that helps them express who they are.

    Just one example of this: plushies. They’re not new, they’re already everywhere, but niche cartoon character and video game character plushies still sell well because it’s a new design being implemented on something people already like. There will always be a new cartoon or game coming out and therefore a way to capitalize on it.

    You can also apply this tactic to many kinds of items: clothing, accessories, phone/tablet skins etc.

    I think you’re failing to take into account that literally everyone who works and takes part in our society pays taxes.

    Paying taxes and asking municipalities for infrastructure to be built with those taxes ≠ “thinking you’re owed something from your peers”
