What is the first marketing task you delegated and was it worth it? As a solo e-come founder ?

I’m doing about $15k/month in revenue, but I am wearing every single hat. I’m doing customer service, fulfillment, managing the ad spend, and trying to keep our Instagram/TikTok alive.

The organic social media is what’s killing me. It takes hours every week to format posts, write captions, and schedule them, but it drives decent traffic so I can't just stop. I’m thinking about hiring a cheap VA to handle it, but I'm worried the quality will tank.

Getting tickets for the Forbidden City (Selling out in seconds)

I am trying to book tickets for the Forbidden City for next month, but I am completely overwhelmed. I read that tickets are released exactly 7 days in advance at 8:00 PM Beijing time on their WeChat Mini-Program. Every time I try, the English version crashes, and by 8:05 PM, the entire day is sold out.

How are foreign tourists supposed to secure tickets without paying a massive premium to third-party scalpers or travel agents? Can I just show up with my passport at the Meridian Gate?
