If given the opportunity to start a business, what kind of business would I start? Interesting question. This is also what I'm thinking about. Currently, I'm still building my foundation by starting with Shutterstock. Maybe by the end of the year, if things start to improve, I'll expand into other areas.

What will I build? I'm building a creative media platform that isn't dependent on donors. So we utilize YouTube ads. The foundation is already there. This time, I'm not building the platform alone, but with a friend. Subscribers are starting to grow, but watch time is still lacking.

Shutterstock became my starting point for learning video and photography. If this proves successful, I can take the next step on YouTube. Why start with Shutterstock? Shutterstock is my learning space and my space for capital for my business. I won't compromise this income. It will be my capital to build a media platform without donors.

Building media requires funding. I'll start without funding. I'll start with visuals and narratives. I've targeted several places, where I've developed. I've sought out several accounts as references for developing my videos and photos.

Narrative is the strength of the media I'm building. Why did I choose the media business? I interviewed several vendors in Jakarta. This year, purchases have dropped drastically, especially for food. Many people started food businesses this year, but buyers are dwindling.

Amidst economic uncertainty, the food business is currently at a dead end. Although I started with Kombucha, it will be a long-term project for me to expand further. That's all I can tell you, what do you think?
