I had one client who was always late with payments. I started offering a 5% discount if they paid within 10 days, and it worked like a charm. What other tricks do you have for keeping cash flow steady?
I keep noticing more and more bands releasing their stuff on cassettes instead of just digital. It's not just the older groups, new acts are doing it too. For example, this band Static Waves sold out their tape run in like two days. I think fans dig having a physical thing that's cheap and kinda retro. It adds something special compared to just another Spotify link. My friend's band just pressed their demo on tape and it's doing really well. Makes me wonder if CDs are next or if we'll skip right to vinyl again.
Most people say you need a dado stack or a fancy jig for this, but I found careful setup and slow passes worked perfectly. It felt good to keep it simple and still get great results.
Thought they were always too loud and crowded for real gaming. Then my regular spot was closed, so we tried a new place and the owner personally taught us a quick card game. The whole vibe was so chill I'm actually looking forward to going back.
I used to think I needed my own tools for every job. After borrowing a rake from the shed, I saw how much space and money I could save. Sharing really cuts down on clutter.
