With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can't understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don't have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still like to do handwriting, there's many app does that and they can even convert it to text notes.

So, if you still write notes with pen and paper, why?

Now that you mentioned it, I wonder how many kids are using Lemmy. What attracted you to be here?

I'm not sure so just going to throw around some ideas for you. Maybe you can try sell on E-Commerce website, Shopify, Etsy or even on Amazon. Pick a product that you know well and can source the supplier easily. Add some value to the base product and sell under your brand.

If you not keen on dealing with people, try sell products that can't be returned or have low return/exchange probability.

There's also a dropshipping business where you don't keep any stock or even ship it out. Just get the customers and place the order for them.

Yeah, I didn't thought this could get so many feedback. It's sort of my first real topic starter on Lemmy.

If you are non-tech, what kind of business you like to do? Brick & mortar style or entirely online business?

Is there a small business community on Lemmy?

Username checks out!

I was assuming that tech background is someone that can work around IT things, such as even building your own PC or setup own Plex. You don't necessarily need to know how to code to be considered a tech person.

But as we can see in the comments, some people don't think they are tech person or tech savvy enough while have some IT / technical knowledge.

Airplanes tech is designed easy to use for the pilot. You wouldn't want to debug an error during a flight mid-air.

Agreed that Lemmy would be attractive to the general mass if we have more of non-tech communities. Do you know any?

Yeah, coding is not for everyone. You can't force it.

That's a diverse career change!

We should normalize what you do. Woman can build racecars or do any other work a man can. Great work, keep it up!

I think if you can troubleshoot your own built PC, that's pretty much a tech person, even though you can't code.

 

I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

If you have tech background, upvote this to help promote this post so that we can find more non-tech users on Lemmy.

 

I only found the Connect app able to hide read topics, while Jerboa and Liftoff does not have this feature. Is read status built-in into Lemmy protocol?
