Part Three SEPT. 12, 2024
Sept 12, my weeks are getting up to 9 days, but I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia this week, so that knocked the wind out of my sails.
Nikas sold no bags this week; my son is making up “Lost Nutrition” like Lost Cat posters, which is insensitive. Plus, he’s making other posters; the progress is slow. I am unsure how the FB Marketplace runs; paid social media wastes money.
To repeat - I need to find dog shows and talk to breeders; when I went to a show before, I sold a lot, talked to groomers, and found someone who sells vegetables and fruit that are too distorted for grocery stores but are good enough for dogs who are not so shallow. www.nikasrawdogfood.com. Canada’s Safest Raw Dog Food. The ex-student is working or saying he is with his son, who needs to stop gaming and sell dog food.
Ensign Score - still dead in the water - It would provide a score for potential employees based on numeracy, writing skills and current events or history. It factored in time spent and gave negative scores for wrong answers, some of them - if the question were easy, it would be punishing. No movement at all. If anyone believes in this and can correct shit code, let me know.
Substack is the most profitable venture (like the tallest midget) right now. It establishes a founders’ club with one person who signed up. I lowered the price but am still at one founder. I will keep at it—a lot of new content.
The back story was that a student made fun of me at 14 users 11 months ago, and I swore 1000 by Oct. 11, 2024. Now, at 945 subscribers, over 30% paid (about 5X the average), and pulling up. Two articles were translated into Polish, and one was published in the Globe.
