I made this so I don't have to answer the same DMs twice. Keep scrolling.(Yes, this page is low-quality. So is the concept. Im working on it lmfao)
- "So, what is Only Spores?"Started as a parody name. turned into an experiment: what if you built a thing by just giving stuff away first?
-"But, what's the point?'The point is the process. 1. Give away stickers. 2. Collect cool pics. 3. Talk about mushrooms. 4. See what happens next. That's it. Its an anti business.
-"Is it really free?"Yes. Completely free. I even cover shipping.
-"How do I get one?"Best way is to sign up for the email list. Other than that just watch my socials.
-"What's the catch?"No catch. Im doing a monthly drop every month. Dec 2025 to Dec 2026. Every design is new and silly.
-"So I for sure get a sticker each month?"Nope. That would be unrealistic.
-"Wait, that's not fair"Fair is boring. This is interesting. The goal is to reward the people who are paying attention, not doom scrolling.
-"But, why stickers?"Low cost, high impact. Plus watching where they end up is cool.
"Where did you get the idea from?"I got really high on mushrooms one day. Yes, ones that I grew.
-"How do you make money from this?"I don't. Yet. If the idea becomes valuable, brands will pay for access to it. You'll never pay for a sticker."
-"This seems backwards"It is. That's the point. Instead of extracting money from you (like every other brand that tries to sell something), im leveraging attention around you in a unique way to eventually (hopefully) get some sponsors or funding. Its the Youtube creator model.
-"No real business works like this"Good. The point isn't to copy the same abused model. The point is to prove a new (and more fun) one can exist. Besides, in business terms its just a loss leader with extra steps.
-"This will never work. Where did you get your business degree?"Im a dropout
-"I have an idea or want to help out, can I?"Yeah, sure. Sponsors or collaborations are appreciated. DM or email me.
-"So if everything works out, whats the end goal?"Dont know yet. I guess make mushrooms (and counterculture) more normalized, give people something fun to look forward to, and connect cool people together? Idk. Trying too hard or trying to be an "influencer" is cringe. Im just having fun with it.
-"You have too many questions on your FAQ page"True
