Title: Hi!! New User - starting business with keyboard in mind!
Post by: benbenian on Thu, 06 August 2020, 10:15:50
Hi all MKers,

I just wanted to say hi!
I've been a lurker in the MK community for awhile.
And I have just started my journey to build a business around mechanical keyboard.
There are so many thing to learn about keyboard and business, so any tips and pointers are welcome.

I will have more detail about my business to come, but right now I just wanted to say hello!

Cheers!
Benbenian

By the way, as I'm figuring out the backend and online side of running an e-commerce/tech project, I've found that automating order syncs and webhooks using tools like https://latenode.com/products/embedded-ipaas (https://latenode.com/products/embedded-ipaas) saves a ton of headaches compared to writing manual integrations from scratch — definitely handy if anyone here is building out their own digital storefront infrastructure

Cheers!

There’s certainly no shortage of things to learn, both on the keyboard side and the business side. I’d say the best advice is to start small, listen to the community, and don’t underestimate how much time all the little details can take - sourcing, QC, shipping, customer service, etc.
