Good morning Fedi! I'm working on #degoogleing my life right now and moving to open source or privacy focused alternatives from not evil corporations. I think I've got most of the basics covered on a personal level, although more suggestions are welcome!
I'm (re)starting my #virtualassistant business from scratch, and I'm looking for open source tools to use and recommend to my clients. Is #BillionaireFreeBusiness a thing? My goal is to run my business 100% Google/Amazon/billionaire free, including servers. Unfortunately, I'm not able to self-host, and neither can a large portion of my potential client base.
I stumbled upon Odoo and it seemed like a dream come true... all in one open source with free then *very* reasonable (actually mind blowing) plans. But they use Google and Amazon (legacy) servers, although another company is listed first, I'm assuming that one's managing most of the European servers. And also Google analytics and a few other tools/integrations. Does anyone have suggestions for something similar that's #googlefree ?
What other #opensourcebusinesstools are you using? Particularly #CRM / #ERP type tools. And/ or individual tools for things like newsletters, Calendly and Drive alternatives (specifically for real-time file collaboration and storage), zoom alternatives, etc. Things that are user-friendly. Bonus points for eco friendly options!
TIA for any recomendations!

PS- I survive capitalism by helping people who give a crap about the world with wingman and wordsmith support. If you want to be part of building a better world, in big ways or small, I'd love to connect! Let's help each other survive the world we live in while working towards the one we want to live in.

Damashe's hot take: He's canceling his Claude subscription...

...to upgrade to the $100/month plan and hire it as his virtual assistant.

"AI hasn't taken a job from a person. Either there is no job, or the AI does it."

His reasoning: He knows what he'd charge to be someone's assistant, and it's WAY more than $100/month.

Most people fail with their first VA because there's no process, no recordings, no clear metrics.

Then the VA gets blamed for a system that was never defined.

Same mistake in social media — people chase reach instead of revenue.

If you want your VA to actually win, give them a scoreboard. 💼🔥

Một người dùng đã chia sẻ kinh nghiệm thuê Trợ lý ảo (VA) từ Philippines với giá $7/giờ ($560/tháng). VA đã giúp thu hồi $4.200 hóa đơn quá hạn, lên lịch 31 cuộc gọi và dọn dẹp dữ liệu CRM. ROI tháng đầu đạt 11x. Kinh nghiệm thành công: giao việc rõ ràng, lặp lại; giao tiếp không đồng bộ; dùng video hướng dẫn. Tránh giao việc cần chuyên môn sâu hoặc đánh giá phức tạp.
