We’re a small two-person design and dev studio, coming up on our first year.

With AI, more small businesses just do it themselves now. We’re trying to find the ones who still want it done properly and right now we’re doing outreach to reach them. It’s early and I’d rather learn from people who’ve been at this longer than keep guessing.

A few things I’d like to know:

1. Where do your better clients come from - outbound, referrals, partnerships, inbound?
2. Does cold email still work in 2026 or has AI-written outreach killed it?
3. How do you open a first message with something specific you noticed on their site or straight to what you offer?
4. Do you attach an example or a mockup or is that a waste of time?
5. How many do you send a day?
6. Any tools you’d recommend?

Happy to share what we’re sending if it’s useful to pick apart. Thanks 🙏🏻

Hi! We’re Elivo Studio, a small branding & web design studio based in Lithuania, working with small businesses (restaurants, cafes, and service providers).

We’re looking for someone to help us find new clients on a commission basis - flexible, work whenever suits you, no fixed hours or quotas.

**How it works:**
You introduce us to a business that might need branding, a website, or social media visuals
If they sign a paid project with us, you earn a **12% commission** on the project value
Commission is paid within 14 days after we receive payment from the client
No cold-calling scripts required - just genuine introductions

**Requirements:**
Must be based in the EU
Some understanding of small business needs is a plus, but not required
No upfront payment or investment needed from you - this is commission-only

**What we’re NOT looking for:**
Mass spam outreach or misleading claims about our services
Someone promising clients pricing/timelines without checking with us first

If you know small business owners, enjoy networking, or just want a flexible side income, feel free to comment or DM me with a bit about yourself.
Happy to share more details (sample agreement, commission structure) to anyone genuinely interested. 🤍

Hi everyone,

I run a small design & dev studio, and I have some open time this week. I’d like to offer free logo redesign concepts for 2-3 small businesses with an existing (but outdated) logo.

How it works:

• Comment or DM your business name and current logo
• I’ll pick 2-3 that feel like a good fit
• I’ll create a quick redesign concept based on your current logo
• No obligation to use it - if you like it, we can talk about a full project. If not, no worries

In exchange, I’d just ask to:

• Feature the redesign in my portfolio and social media, with a mention of your business (or anonymized if you prefer).

Drop your business name/Instagram below or DM me. Happy to answer questions! 🤍

Hi everyone,

I launched my app yesterday morning and I’m still seeing dashes instead of numbers in the Installs section - it just says “Data is not yet available.”
Firebase Analytics is already showing active users, so I know people are downloading and opening it.

But Play Console hasn’t caught up yet.
How long does it usually take for the first install stats to appear? Is 24h+ normal, or something misconfigured?

Thanks!

Hey! 👋🏻
We’re planning our first trip to Croatia in June and thinking about staying in Makarska for 4–5 days. Is it worth it as a base? How crowded does it get in June, already peak season or still manageable?
Also wondering if there’s enough to do for 4–5 days (beaches, boat trips, nearby places, hikes, etc.) or should we combine it with another area?
And finally, where would you recommend staying, Makarska town itself or nearby smaller villages?
Thank you!
