Yes! It’s slow going. I grow and sell plant tissue cultures. Sometimes I get fairly large orders (hundreds of units), but usually I sell a few or a dozen at a time to hobbyists who are into aquaria, terraria, or they want stock to start cultures on their own more easily. I also grow and sell some other stuff, but that’s the bulk of it.

I got started on some discord channels with other hobbyists, but I’m in the process of creating a store front that’ll hopefully boost revenue a bit. I’ll likely need to learn a bunch of boring stuff like marketing to actually get traffic to it, but we’ll see.

It’s at an awkward stage where I need to devote more time to it in order to allow it to grow more, but I’ve also got a full time job, kids, a wife, etc. But I really enjoy it. I hope to make the leap to doing it full time eventually, but that would be a while off still.

Do you have non-tech business ideas or plans?

Us non-techies dream of tech businesses, hehe.

Not having to deal with ecommerce inventory sounds dreamy

Edit - typo

No kidding. It blows my mind how bad e-commerce is. And how expensive it is. I had to accept that no payment processor would ever be ideal, no cost structure would ever make sense, I’d have to relinquish access to my own money to a degree, etc. I thought it would be better by 2025 but it’s the worst part of the business I’ve worked on so far, haha.
