![]() ![]() I mean, if you’re in a major league affiliation, if you’re not. Is that enough to actually pay for the food and the travel involved? So my rookie year, I got paid $600 a month.Īndrew: Wow. Īndrew: How much were you getting paid doing that? Yeah. But, I mean, all over the Midwest, kind of, I started off in the South in Louisiana, I went to Texas, I went to Illinois, I went to Kentucky and Missouri, and that’s kind of. You get paid, you know, you’re still in minor league stadiums and things, play about 100 games in a season. it’s called independent ball, so it’s independent of major league. You were a professional baseball player playing where? Okay.Īndrew: You know what? I’m surprised that this was, like, your first big thing. Now I understand why this is, like, a long, arduous process. And the things that I’ve tested that have worked, I couldn’t do that so I needed to get off.Īndrew: You know what? Let’s save that detail for. There’s absolutely no fix other than changing my billing model, changing my subscription model, changing the way that I wanted to do my business. It couldn’t do a certain number of subscriptions and there was no fix to it. So, basically, what we found out that happened, we had Woo Subscriptions, it would try to charge people and it got to a certain point where it tried to charge everybody at one time because the way that we bill people is all at once so we can batch shipments, so it would just freeze. And, yeah, so I had a designer develop my website, which was a big issue to start with. So it started on WordPress with WooCommerce and I had Woo Subscriptions. You know, Plate Crate was my very first business, you know, that I had a website that I did anything, and we can get into that, but, actually, it started on WordPress. So, I mean, I can give you a whole story. All right, so growth is picking up a lot.Īndrew: I was trying to figure out, like, what the website is hosted on. So, I mean, that doesn’t count growth from this December, so we’ve done about 850k in the last 12 months.Īndrew: Oh, got it. Īndrew: Yeah, I know, but the last 12 months would include this past December. We did about 700 last year.Īndrew: So, wait, 700? So is it fair to say the last 12 months, you’ve done over a million? So we’ve done about a half a million so far this year, and the holidays are a big time, so Black Friday, Cyber Monday, first two weeks in December, that’s where we really kind of take off. ![]() So this will be our first seven-figure year. ![]() you’ve listen to me so you know what I’m going for. Oh, again, instead of going for one of his design, we’ll talk about the issues, he could’ve gone to /mixergy to hire. I can still see he has an issue, but HostGator would’ve had him starting upright with a WordPress website if he wants or any other thing up and running quickly. He might different product now but I know he had an issue. I kind of wish that I can go back in time and introduce Josh to HostGator. I know they’re getting tired of me talking about them, but they’re at least happy that the results keep coming in. ![]() The first, man, you guys have heard me talk about them so much. We’re going to be able to find out and dig into this business and understand how we could sell more thanks to two phenomenal sponsors. I saw Tim Ferriss, I’ve known him for years. I wonder if I should be creating a product and selling it monthly. It’s a subscription service that delivers a box of baseball gear monthly. I was going to say the same as software but I don’t want to keep comparing it to software. Well, I don’t know if it’s the same but it gives you comfort of getting money coming in every month. He’s selling stuff that you can actually feel, people can actually keep in their house, and he’s got a subscription which gives you the same comfort that you. He says, “I need to make some money on the side, so you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to create a box of baseball products that I’m going to send to people but only if they commit to getting it every month and pay me for a subscription to it.” And the thing that I don’t get is, like, why are people subscribing? Why can’t they just say, “I need five things, I’m going to go online and buy it?” Why does Josh have to pick the stuff out for them?īut the thing that I admire is we’re all selling bits and bytes, there are services that are ephemeral. Josh Band is an entrepreneur who said, “You know, I think. Joining me today is an entrepreneur who’s running a company that I just don’t understand how people are buying it and at the same time I have deep admiration, maybe a tiny bit of envy. I’m the founder of Mixergy where I interview entrepreneurs about how they built their businesses. ![]()
