In February 2022, she came across an article about another stay-at-home mom who had a side hustle selling digital printables that can be downloaded and used on the computer or on paper. It was a combination of modules and live social-media group lessons about how to start selling digital products. The templates required more work because there were multiple pages, and the supply was very saturated, with many sellers offering up similar printables. This will also keep the same customers returning to purchase products that match what they already have. The main thing to note is that the printables should be things that are used in classrooms or homeschooling.

ACAPULCO, Nov 25 (Reuters) - One month since Hurricane Otis devastated Acapulco, fears for the local economy stalk the Mexican beach resort with businesses saying efforts to repair the damage have been too slow to save a vital part of the tourist season: December. Lopez Obrador has launched a $3.4 billion recovery plan and pledged to get Acapulco back on its feet quickly, but local businesses say time is fast running out for this year. "Acapulco lives off just three seasons: December, which is the biggest for us, Easter, and a bit of summer. "By the December season we won't even have 50% of hotels running, so even if we wanted to have more tourists, we couldn't host them," he added.

But a more accessible route is to purchase a box of marrons glacés — a classic European sweet, also called candied chestnuts — from Giovanni Galli 1911, a longtime confectioner that still produces the seasonal delicacies by hand. Its nondescript white boxes with Galli’s name printed in the original turn-of-the-century typeface appear on smart dining tables here once fall arrives. And agonizingly slow-moving lines form outside the store throughout December, although online sales have helped a bit with that situation. (The season for marrons glacés lasts through Easter.)

The ultra-rich can afford nearly anything, but that doesn't guarantee access, especially for sold-out games or limited-edition luxury items. Many clients are willing to pay top dollar for coveted Taylor Swift tickets but can't find them, and they have asked their advisors for help tracking them down. Many financial institutions prefer white-labeling, repackaging the services with the banks' branding, Gaby Stanley of Ten Lifestyle Group told Insider. The UK-based concierge clients include Coutts, HSBC, and Merrill Lynch. Private-bank advisors help each other out, according to Yates, who has hooked up out-of-state advisors' clients with Miami Heat tickets when they visit Florida.

Ryanair has returned money to investors in the past, but never on a regular basis. Between 2008 and 2020, the group paid out €6.74 billion ($7.2 billion) to shareholders via buybacks and ad hoc dividend payments, according to a spokesperson. Less competition has allowed the airline to increase ticket prices, which soared 24% on average, offsetting significantly higher fuel costs. That would be up from its previous record of €1.45 billion ($1.6 billion) earned in 2018, before the Covid-19 pandemic. Ryanair agreed to buy up to 300 Boeing 737-10 planes earlier this year in a deal worth $40 billion.
