Virtual Assistance / Customer Support / Sales Assistance / Social Media Management

For more than 5 years, I have been doing virtual assistance work primarily:

- Virtual office management (Email management, Office application, data entry, etc.)

- Social Media Management (Content calendar, Basic graphics design, etc.)

- Customer/User support (Hand me a knowledgebase, I will take care of the rest.)

- Sales assistance work (CRM management, lead nudging, customer relations)

Wow, that is really cool. One of my theses is that DuckDB will be bought by GCP (BigQuery), and polars will be bought by Databricks (or AWS). The thesis is based on the idea that Snowflake bought the Modin platform. The movement in DE seems to be towards data warehouse platforms streaming data (views/results) down to dataframe (Modin, Polars, DuckDB) platforms, which then stream down to their BI platforms. Because these database platforms are designed as OLAP platforms so, this approach makes sense.

This is why I like tools like datastation and hex.tech. You write the initial query using SQL than process the results as a dataframe using Python/pandas. Surely, mixing Pandas and SQL like that is not good for data pipelines but for exploration and analytics, I have found this approach to be enjoyable.

I am trying rebuild my virtual assistance business. For the longest time I have worked with realtors but the market has gone down and finding new contracts are hard.

Trying to move into doing virtual assistance for micropreneurs and sideprojects from now on exclusively. Task by task basis or regular contracts. Essentially the pitch is assign everything that is not sales and product. I think it is a good pitch targetted to folks who enjoy building stuff and considers making money out of it as a bonus. The moment they start answering support emails, and posting product updates they start to get burnt out. Trying to specialize in "burn out prevention" tasks mainly.

I am trying to figure out a way to get clients. Virtual Assistance is cheap and the competition is huge. The services are identical which essentially says, I will do what you will need me to do.

I honestly think if Pandoc had a GUI, it could genuinely be the fourth most popular word processing software out there. Just a simple GUI and a rich text editor—that's it.

This is just annoying. I maintain an XYZ domain because it cost me pennies to buy. But geez, the renewal fees. That is how they get you. Now, I will go back to using github.io, netlify.app, or whatever Cloudflare Pages have. It just isn't worth it to maintain a domain for a personal page.

The issue with sales in particular is that, if you can't figure out sales, don't expect a miracle by partnering up with someone. The sales-technical partnerships I have seen usually start with a great pre-business relationship. And those who have profitable bootstrapped business actually do hire salespeople like they hire me.... as disposable. You give them the initial pitch of what is the product, and you have them on commission-based pay. After the onboarding period ends, you make binary decisions of keeping and firing. Sounds unhealthy from the employees' side but that is side projects and bootstraps work.

It is "virtual assistant". Essentially, I as a VA do office work, data entry, design, social media, support, sales stuff etc.

You assign a task to me, and you pay hourly for that task. Or you can just get a weekly contract.

I think the difference between a VA and conventional employee is the idea of specialization and frequency. Doing VA work I have to do all things ranging from graphics design to support to crm stuff. Now, I am not the best guy out there to be great at one thing but I will try to be adaquete. The lack of specialization is made up by the fact that VAs are cheap, and you do not have to have that commitment to keep paying for them. If it is a 5 hour work week that will do.

These days, I just have my clients on whatsapp. They give me a random task, I give a deliverable time.

I will try my best to not make this sound like a veiled promotion.

Short answer is you need a VA. What I do mostly act as a filter. I have seen this happen with my clients. People often think that it is just too much hassle to running a small sideproject and not worth the time. But geez man, do you have to do everything?? Why bother with the grunt work. You have caught the lightening in the bottle, but for the rest do not invest any more in terms of emotional commitment.

These are grunt work, you need a task monkey essentially. What I do is just translate this communication in binary response or options to pick. After you made your first dime from a sideproject, you need to outsource support. Everyone complains about bad support on everything they use, but the reality is that you can not afford to commit yourself to do support work. Being entrepreneur means you have to create barrier between things that require emotional investment. You may think hiring a 7 dollar an hour dude from a random country is a risk, but it is worth the gamble if you have a business that is profitable. And the risk is not a big risk. I am not self depracating myself but the reality is VAs like me are "disposable". You try out a VA for a week, see if that person solves your problem, if not try another one.

I would really love to hear a bit about Zapier's pursuit towards innovation.

There are quite a few workflows automation platform out there. It is now an entire industry. With nocode being more and more popular, there is a lot of "Alternative to Zapier platforms".

This makes me wonder, is innovation in no code workflow automation platform limited to just new API services? Or is there possibility to innovate in a new way? Some of Zapier's competitors have integrated programming language interface, spreadsheet element etc.

As the OG workflow automation platform, what does innovation mean to Zapier beyond hosting an API service?

I wonder when they invented paintbrush, did all the people using fingers to draw called the brush-painters, posers.

Cave painters said "You can't capture the beauty of fingerpaint as you drag our fingers against a chunk of rock. The virgin rock was porous, your paint smooths it and creating impression that lasts for centuries. You leave your mark, your identity, your fingerprint with the art. That is what makes it authentic." He added, "Painting with brushes creates a barrier with the art and the human. It can never be true art. It will never capture the painters mark and your soul in it."

That was a poor attempt at making a joke. I think, over the years, most people just stopped caring about the origin and process of scrollable things. You just don't have the time or energy to validate everything's source or process. You take nano-dopamine hit by seeing something, and move past that. Trying to label things to be "pure" and "authenticate" and asking the merit to be determined based on this "purity" is a thing of the past.

How do you approach building on top of a dashboard template?

> Any change in /src directory will build the application and refresh the page.

Do you start from the demo page and start ripping off components that you don't need? Or do you pick specific parts from the template and build it from scratch from bottom up?

Even though templates seem to be an easy way to build stuff, I never understood the approach building from templates.

When something that fundamental changes what is the cascading effect? Do other functions refer UNIQUE/NULL or do they have their own versions of UNIQUE/NULL like code?

We made a reasonable amount progress in building our own minimalist website aggregator [0] until we gave up.

The plan was too source news from Reddit, HN, Several Newsletters and of course the Wikipedia News Portal. I was proud of the stack (Backend is google sheets) but I underestimated the dedication. To build a news aggregator you have to pick the news links on a daily basis and not skip a day. It takes an hour to just to sift through all the days mess as these days significant world news, in my opinion, often doesn't turn up on the front page anywhere. Also some significant world news have so much frequency you have to actually think what to post and if you should remove redundant past articles.

Just picking the article took me an 1 hour a day and I wanted to summarise the content which would have easily taken my 1-2 hours more.

I respect that OP is charging atleast something for their service, because if they didn't I personally don't see how they can continue running the site.

How can anyone tell if they know kubernetes?

Most people who complain about k8s being complicated, convinced themselves they know it in the first place, and thought it is somehow going to make their life easier down the road. But it is not a plug and play tool as they hoped and unlike most tools where you can learn as you go, with k8s it becomes troubleshooting as you go.

It is like when I tried to use git branches on my first git based plaintext writing project. I thought it is nice and all but when you throw merge conflicts and rebase and remote branches within the first 2 weeks, it shifted from doing the actual thing, to just troubleshooting git. With k8s that is exponentially complicated.

Does this actually hold merit?

Some countries gave legal entity/personhood status to rivers and gave legal rights to curb water pollution. Not much has happened from those declaration. I wonder if these kind public awareness verdicts from courts would have any kind of significant impact.

Article title reads like a conspiracy theory. Then I started reading. The articles talks about online trolling of smart Asian women aka journalists on Twitter. I am not being condescending but I thought this was going to be a interesting read.
