Feels more real each day!
It's been a couple of days since the last post BUT I DO HAVE TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS.
1. I now have an official Facebook page.
2. The LLC HAS BEEN APPROVED LETS GOOOOOO 🚀
Man this LLC approval process is taking a bit. We're looking at over 15 days wait time at this point.
22.03.2025 10:36 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Nextdoor has been a great source of feedback so far and I've been grateful to hear from the locals about what they want in a local tech support business.
Learning!
Adobe Express is great actually
17.03.2025 23:19 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Alright, it's been over 15 days. Today could be the day I finally get the LLC approval, come on!!!
17.03.2025 12:09 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I've been marketing That Neighborhood Nerd for 3 days straight, got some feedback, doing good on that. Wrote a long form article on LinkedIn about my experience this morning and now I'm taking a break for the rest of the day! Whew!!!
16.03.2025 12:26 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Today was a great and productive day! I got customer feedback for the first time on Nextdoor, I added an FAQs and Blog section to my website, I got my first early access form submission and I fixed a toilet! WOW!
16.03.2025 00:57 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Just a silly little ad for the website made with my phone 😊
15.03.2025 00:03 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Seeking advice from fellow small business owners online, I'm learning that 2 days of marketing is not enough to judge yourself on; I'm learning patience. 👀
14.03.2025 16:17 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0So we're on day 3 of the pre-announcement of That Neighborhood Nerd on LinkedIn and Nextdoor, and the response has been positive but pretty light.
I guess these things take time and it's important to keep hammering the marketing message that, I'm here and I'll be ready!
Just launched the pre-announcement post on Nextdoor!
Reactions on LinkedIn have been positive but tepid. I'm learning that this marketing thing is going to be a task all on it's own.
Wish me luck!
Pre announcement post on LinkedIn is live! Can't wait to see the feedback!

Gonna see if my business laptop can run Dead Space.
I can't help it, I have to try!
Yes I know I have a 4070 Ti SUPER in my main rig that can do the job but this laptop has OLEDDDD

- Googles for the error message
- Somebody asked the same question online
- Answer: "Did you read what the error message tells you to do???"
- Goes back and reads the error message
- Does what the error messages says to do
- It works
This might or might not be me
Thanks to the sale, the better model, OLED, 16 GBs of RAM and waaay better processor was only 21 dollars more. It was a great deal!

Welp, lesson learned. 8 GBs of RAM is NOT good enough for a work computer. The thing froze while running a system scan and trying to multitask accessing Windows menus.
I'm resetting it now and taking advantage of a sale that just happened today on a better model. Thanks Best Buy!
What's your least favorite part of building a custom PC?
Mine? The amount of pressure it takes to secure a heatsink to a CPU. It really feels like you're gonna break it!!! 👀
*looks at work laptop he just bought*
Dang I guess I gotta work with 8GBs of RAM.
It'll do the job! I'm just so used to having 32 GBs on my main rig!
I can feel the difference!
Made my first large business expense. A laptop just for the business and computer troubleshooting. Nothing fancy, but enough to do the job! :) excited!
09.03.2025 00:30 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Another day of waiting to see if the LLC application was approved, exciting stuff!
Looking at my checklist for getting started, the LLC is the only thing I'm waiting on for now.
I wonder how long it takes to get an EIN???
