I think comic shops will live and die by subscriptions. Selling coffee can help, too. Diversifying into other nerd stuff might keep you alive longer. But big money will only come from adding value to the community. Infinite ways to do it - have to test what works and see what people enjoy.
in another life I would have been that comic shop owner troll with a fire hazard of a comic book shop alas that multiuniverse did not happen and ended up a past fan boy side hustler
You'll know when you find a really good LCS owner, I found an older signed Jim Lee punisher comic book in the dollar bins, signed in regular pen on the front cover & on the bottom of the first page. I showed it to him and said are you sure this is $2.00?, he said "great find", "I'm not the kind of guy that will raise the price because of that." Consistently this owner has been the real deal, and he's in the 40-50 y.o. age range.
gosse is tearin it up, 44 more weeks of fyre and this is the utuber of the year..... grindin yall into the dust.
Happy Thanksgiving, Sticky Goose

Could you post the name and location the shops that you're showing videos of in the description?

Based on your descriptions you fit the side hustler profile based on you previous videos.
Classic 80s song - "Lovin' Every Minute of It" by Loverboy.
