A lot of this is down to Google shifting around. Most people use Google as a default browser. I personally don't. I use Brave's now and find it to be better for most things. I will use Google only for finding local businesses and locations. Anyways, AI has taken a lot of work from freelancers and has also caused companies to downsize and fired in-person workers. I have seen a lot of people come out of college unable to find work too since the AI boom. It is best to find something you are passionate about and can earn from and rely on yourself.

Printful is considered to be the best all around. Zazzle is one I have used in the past. If you want a basic one that is easy to use with no guesswork, I would go with TeePublic. I have used a handful of others. Some of them rip off your designs, other don't pay you, you have to be careful.

With AI advancements, you can do coding fairly easily now. This is assuming you use one of the more premium AI options. I think if you plan on being in this space and coding is something you are interested in as a general skill, it is worth learning. You can easily self-teach yourself online.

A lot of young people say Rumble is "boomer coded" which means it is a platform that a lot of 60+ year olds use and it kind of shows with the content they promote to the front page. This is not to say no younger people are on there. I would say the age range though is mostly late 30s to mid 60s. Because the content is mostly politics, you may be able to build something up easier yes but you have to hope they promote the content cause their search that is built into the platform is absolutely terrible.

I know a website seems appealing now but it wouldn't be of much use until you actually grow an audience. Even people with large followings have low traffic to their sites. Just focus on socials, that is the best way to reach people and it is free.

I will check out there three. I know WooCommerce is the most popular but it is a pretty hefty plugin. Either way, I appreciate the info. If anyone knows of any other ones I should look into, let me know.

I decided to use WordPress moving forward since it is free and I am able to understand it having worked with it previously. I am just not sure which web store plugin is best. There seems to be more than I remembered. I won't be selling physical items to start. They are digital. Does anyone have experience with running a shop through WordPress and can recommend me the best plugin for the job?

Hi. So I am coming over from a forum that recently shut down. I had been a member on there for close to 3 years. I have been struggling to find a new place that felt familiar and one that I liked the layout of. This one stood out to me. I decided to join! My name is Josh. I ran a successful small gaming business called "BlueDrag0n" for awhile. It was mostly an online thing but unfortunately, it fell apart and I am looking to start over again. I am hoping to rebrand, relaunch, and find new success even greater than what I had before. I'm not very good at introductions so I will leave it at that haha How is everyone?
