What's happened with Nomad Complex has really got me thinking about business in the fandom at large. We tend to get so focused on day to day, that we unknowingly trap ourselves. I want to share a calculation that has changed my business life for the better.

I would not be who I am if it wasn't for Dragoneer. Not only was FA massively formative in my growth as an artist overall, he commissioned me in and it had such an impact on me. I felt like my work was noticed and it gave me fuel to keep going. Thank you for everything. RIP.

In case anyone wants help chillifying their feed, heres how to use muted words! Go to Settings & Privacy, then Privacy & Safety. There is a section called Mute & Block. Add words as needed. Add multiple versions of each word as well for greater efficacy. Good luck and dogspeed!

It seems like furry businesses are easily lead to feel like "Business is different here". This is how everyone who can pick up a pencil starts offering commissions, without consideration for studying how to run an effective business. Who has time? Draw art, make money, right?

If you're a "successful" business furry, you can feel like constant orders or engagement is a sign of success that you need to continue fostering. If you're not, you may feel trapped by survival mode thinking, expecting to keep churning to claw your way out. It's cyclical.

"I'm an ARTIST. If I don't MAKE my art, then it's not MINE." That is true! But hear me out: Can people tell if you don't hand package your own pins? Would they be disappointed if you don't hand press your buttons? Do they get lasting value out of you packaging their order?

Trivia: By this calculation, assuming it takes FursuitMakerCo 60 hours to produce a full fursuit, her prices need to start at about $8k, which seems about market price and I'm happy for that.

This isn't about updating your prices, it's about restructuring how you view your own time and how you are spending it. Having this lens to view your time through is an important part of deciding what tasks should take priority in your day-to-day operations as a business owner.

If you said anything other than the truth (which is no to all three) then, have fun! The rest of us aren't immortal so we have to figure out what those sorts of tasks actually cost us. How do we avoid doing those kinds of tasks?

You've probably heard the idea to gauge your time by paying yourself an hourly wage. What if I told you that that method isn't paying you what you think it is? We need to work backwards. Let's use a fursuit maker as an example.

For simplicity, let's say she has good work ethic and has timed herself, and knows with certainty that she puts in 40 hours per week. (PS If you're not timing yourself... do that too) $30/hr x 40hrs/wk = $1200 But wait, are all 40 hours of that week spent on billable hours?

Let's be honest, there isn't a soul on earth that can serve a full 8 hours every day. Maybe the machine breaks, sapping 30 minutes. She doomscrolls for 15 minutes (calling it "social media marketing time"), she eats lunch, her cat breaks something... you get the idea.

Let's say that FursuitMakerCo spends one day a week on photoshoots and one day on marketing. To make $30/hr, she needs to earn/bill $1200 worth of work in her 3 remaining days, or 24 hours. $1200/24 = $50/hr But wait, is she truely spending 8 STRAIGHT HOURS working those days?

This exercise isn't to make you feel guilty about "not doing enough" either - It's purpose is to create a guide that will help you spend your time in the most effective way, and build your business to accommodate your needs instead of performing gymnastics to meet the business's.

If FursuitMakerCo works 52 weeks a year, earning $1200 per week, that's $62,400. Working for yourself is HARD, so let's give FMC 6 weeks off per year to account for free time, holidays and inevitable sick time. $62,400 / 46 weeks is $1356/wk $1356/wk / 12 hours is $113/hr

Add up all your expenses' total cost for the year. FMO's might look like: Materials ($8k/yr) Internet ($90/mo, $1080/yr) Sewing Machine Tune Ups ($130 x 4, $520/yr) Web Hosting ($15/mo, $180/yr) Convention Expenses (marketing!!) ($4800/yr) Office Rent ($500/mo, $6000/yr) etc..
