TBATE Reaction Fic — Starting From Volume 8

A gentle silence settled between the three of them.

They watched Tessia sitting between Virion and her parents. Cynthia and Rinia sat nearby, along with the Leywins and the Twin Horns.

Regis glanced between them.

“Plus, she also has a nice pair of—”

“Shut up, Regis!” the father-daughter duo exclaimed.

“No fun…” Regis grumbled as he looked away.

“On that note…” he said.

Arthur and Sylvie turned toward him.

“Hmm?”

“What are we going to do about that bastard?”

The two blondes followed his gaze toward a particular Scythe.

Nico occasionally glanced toward Tessia.

Those glances did not sit well with Arthur.

Nor Sylvie.

Nor Regis.

Arthur remained conflicted about his former friend.

“I’m not sure yet—”

"First we chastise with a blazing hot iron rod, or maybe an aether stick with destruction, then pierce him through the jaw with a hook and hang him on the Alacriyan town square right after skinning him alive head to toe and scrub a few dozen lemons and sea salt," Sylvie said calmly.

Regis and Arthur froze.

Their heads slowly turned toward her.

Sylvie was smiling.

Calmly.

Happily.

Sweetly.

‘Goddamn…’ Regis thought.

‘I…’ Arthur found himself at a complete loss for words.

Sylvie tilted her head.

“Any problems?”

Arthur blinked, attempting to form a response.

Before he could speak, Regis placed a paw on Arthur’s thigh.

“Nope! Not at all!” he said cheerfully.

He was completely in favour of the idea.

Sylvie’s smile brightened.

“It’s a plan, then!”

Arthur’s eyes darted between them.

‘Well…he does kind of deserve it.’

Is this a realistic service business for a beginner, or am I underestimating what is involved?

I’m considering starting a small service business helping local businesses improve their online presence and customer inquiry process.

I’m not currently experienced enough to run advanced paid advertisements, so I would start with smaller services such as:

  • Reviewing their Google Business Profile and website
  • Comparing them with nearby competitors
  • Identifying problems in their booking or quote-request process
  • Improving service descriptions and contact forms
  • Organizing customer review requests
  • Setting up a simple system to track inquiries and follow-ups

My plan would be to choose one industry, such as home-service contractors, cleaners, auto detailers or barbers, and initially offer one or two small pilot projects for free or at a low price. In return, I would ask for an honest testimonial, permission to create a case study and possibly a referral.

I would not guarantee new customers or revenue. I would only promise the specific work being completed and show the business what changed.

My main concerns are:

  1. Would small-business owners see enough value in this to pay for it?
  2. Why would they hire a beginner instead of an established marketing agency?
  3. Is starting with free or low-cost pilot projects sensible, or does that attract the wrong clients?
  4. Which industries would be most open to this kind of service?
  5. What skills should I learn before approaching my first business?
  6. Is this offer too broad, and should I focus on only one problem, such as Google profiles, booking systems or lead tracking?
  7. What mistakes do beginners usually make when starting this kind of business?

I’m looking for honest criticism rather than encouragement. I would especially appreciate advice from small-business owners, freelancers or people who have worked in local marketing.

I'd appricate any advice.
