Tell people it's just you. Tell them you print out of your home. Tell them you're doing this as a side hustle. \nThis is exactly what I've done in my business and it has been so well received. I've had so many customers tell me they want to do businesses with me more because of the fact that I'm a startup/side-hustle. I've been blessed with a great customer base and I truly believe it's partly because I've been so honest about the fact that I'm a solo-person business.\n------------------------------------------\nSign up for my newsletter: https://ssp.ink/go\nInstagram: https://ssp.ink/instagram\n------------------------------------------\nCompanies & Services I trust and use in my screen printing business (contain affiliate links)\nRyonet for screen printing supplies and equipment https://ssp.ink/ryonet\nEcamm Live for recording video and live streaming https://ssp.ink/ecamm\nStickerMule for stickers and packing tape https://ssp.ink/stickermule\nCanva for creating video thumbnails and social posts https://ssp.ink/canva\nPrintful for print-on-demand items and stores https://ssp.ink/printful\nNamecheap for domain name registration https://ssp.ink/namecheap\nTransistor for podcast hosting https://ssp.ink/transistor\nSetapp for awesome mac apps https://ssp.ink/setapp\nAirtable for my screen print pricing calculator and other databases https://ssp.ink/airtable\nZoho One for invoicing, CRM, email marketing, business email, and more https://ssp.ink/zohoone","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ll5glks_fezHAq-6q5PRAMF9rwnbt7J0QLldL_eaelk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzY1LzE2Nzc3MTA0/OTUtYXJ0d29yay5q/cGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
