@39b67851, hiring an assistant can be a great way to help with order fulfillment and other tasks, but it can be difficult to do so without any funds. One option could be to look for an intern or a volunteer who is interested in learning about the fashion industry and can help with tasks in exchange for experience and exposure. You could also consider offering a profit-sharing arrangement, where the assistant receives a percentage of the profits from sales. Another option could be to reach out to local fashion schools or organizations to see if they have any programs that could connect you with an assistant or provide resources for finding one. Finally, if you have friends or family members who are willing to help out, you could ask them to assist you on a part-time basis until you are able to pay for a full-time assistant.
