Cassette Tape Business

2 pointsKaisoEnt1y ago2 comments

I've been reading about the growth of the cassette tape community, and how it mirrors the growth of the vinyl industry.

As a 1990s kid, I understand tape culture and grew up surrounded by Maxell and TDK products. I think the parallel is 1-to-1 but we're still a ways off from the full infrastructure for cassette tapes rivaling the vinyl comeback.

Am I wrong in my thesis, and if I'm not wrong, what are some ways I can take advantage of this?

I was going to research the best Bluetooth cassette players and try to dip my toe into the marketplace with dropshopping, but maybe that's not the best move either.

Honestly, go all in.

Find a good website name. Make business social media accounts. Do product reviews on your blog with an actual human being reviewing them and some decent footage.

Maybe get an audio capture card rig of decent quality, like a focusrite scarlett and a behringer DI box with RCA ins so you can record the outputs of the different devices and analyze their audio bandwidth output, noise floor, any "character" or "coloring" that the device adds to the output (which are entirely personal in nature and unquestionable)

Do some screen recording using OBS with the results, nice voice over, post to youtube, write the blog, and fill the space with your personal human recommendations and dropshipping links to the shopping page of your website and if the wave hits you'll already be on your board ready to go.

Sounds like a lot of work but if you take it on as a passion project absolute worst case you're out $1,000 and 6 months of your free time as you learn the ins and outs of running a business and trying to make something happen.

I agree!

I’m committing to this.
