teach others how to use Inkscape? That’s when Golden Ribbon Tutorials was born.
A senior Inkscape developer saw his work and got in touch with him. This was the first job he scored online. Phillip expanded his influence
and posted a realistic donut created in Inkscape on Google+ in late 2014. Many senior users at the time couldn’t believe that this was
created using Inkscape and the design was later featured in an Indian Open Source presentation for the capabilities of open source software.
After 3 years of hard work and progression, the Golden Ribbon Tutorials has become a full-fledged online infographic design business to
rival the best. To date he has worked with companies such as Logitech, Unilever and Farfetch.
It was a struggle transforming this side hustle into a sustainable stream of income. However, he kept pushing until he was the best. He
eventually became the go-to source for Inkscape knowledge and stunning infographic designs. Sheer determination to survive is what has
helped his business grow.
His advice for solopreneurs is to find solutions to problems. Solutions provide opportunities to create a successful business in an untapped
market. People tend to forget this and end up copying other people’s solutions thus diluting what is o�ered. Philip was able to solve the
open-source problem faced by graphic designers and has become a master. You can mimic similar success in your niche if you spend time
finding solutions for common problems which no one has attempted to solve.
