Hey guys! I plan to start email marketing and have been watching videos to learn more! I'm planning to offer it as a service (side-hustle) while I'm still in university as Engineering Undergraduate I have no experience but I'm willing to learn. Could any kind guide me on how to start? What should I be doing at the beginning, How to find clients as beginner ? How to build a portfolio and practice skills without client

Hi, Adarsh here from Yogi Group of Hotels, we are looking for some very good & enthusiast social media manager preferably form hospitality industry, if you hpthink you can do great work call or WhatsApp me \+917506741639 \+919773774581

I thought 25% recurring commission would sound attractive. Now I’m not so sure. I run a relatively new AI/self-discovery product, and our affiliate program currently pays 20% recurring, increasing to 25% after an affiliate brings in 11 paying customers. But after talking to a few affiliates, I realized the percentage itself might be almost meaningless. If the average customer spends around $10–$20, then even 25% recu

Hi, I just wanted to ask about being shadowbanned from Google. So here is the thing, I made a website 1 year ago and I added a lot of things, made some mistakes of course, but I feel like I'm paying it a lot today. Google says I have 5000 pages indexed but I have just a few impressions and clicks... And if I search for a very small keyword were my page should be indexed I just don't see my website. But I see a lot of

The advice everyone repeats is just post consistently and you will grow. I did. Every single day for a year. I went from 1,100 to 1,400 followers. Basically flat. Consistency was necessary and completely insufficient. I was consistently making mediocre posts nobody had a reason to share. What finally changed things was not frequency, it was making each post actually worth sending to a friend. I dropped to four posts

I spent 4 months testing Instagram content. Here’s what finally started working. I’ve been posting music-related content for years, but about 4 months ago I decided to really figure out what Instagram, tiktok and YT shorts actually responds to. I tested different hooks, editing styles, topics, lengths, educational content, polished videos, casual videos…pretty much everything I could think of. Then something clicked.

To all my creator friends who are actively searching for direct brand contact. May be i can help connect you with the brand. No money involved. Its 100% free.

So l've had a predominantly male following for a while now. I used to post a lot of bikini photos and club outfits. But for the past few years l've tried to shift my content to attract more of the female gaze. Unfortunately I haven't had much success. I like to dress and own being sexy, but there's also so much more to me and I plan on releasing music soon. I've tried playing with fashion, creating dumps, etc. My que

I came across a Shopify AI autocomplete tool claiming that letting customers filter while they type can increase search conversion by 30%+. The basic argument makes sense. If someone searches for red dress, customers can narrow down the catalog which will show them fewer relevant products. But What I liked most that it works directly with the existing catalog and doesn’t need to build the entire search system. Honest

i was grinding out a post every day and half of them were filler i wasn't proud of. the pressure to feed the feed was killing the quality. when i dropped to three genuinely good posts a week, each one got more attention than my daily mediocre ones did. the algorithm seemed to reward the stronger signal. my theory is that mediocre daily posts train your audience to skip you, while fewer strong ones keep them watching.

Six months in, stuck at 3K, posting into the void. I had the quit draft basically written in my head. Before deleting I did one thing. I went through my top five performing posts ever and my bottom five, and I actually looked instead of guessing. The pattern was obvious once I stopped avoiding it. Every top post opened with a specific problem in the first line. Every bottom post opened with context, a greeting, or se

After trying out few options I've been mostly using figma and then bringing the design into klaviyo but can be a slow process. What are your workflows for designing emails..is it within the esp or anything else besides figma?

I was reading [this older thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/analytics/comments/1rljxo1/from_google_analytics_to_marketing_mix_modeling/) about MMM getting more accessible, but the comments made it sound like there's still a lot of work involved. Curious from people who've actually tried it. What made you start looking at MMM in the first place? Did it end up being worth the extra effort? And if you've used tools like

And YouTube isn’t the only major domain getting hit

Hey everyone! I run a local small business and I’m finally at the point where I just don't have the time to edit videos, write captions, and post consistently every week. I have plenty of raw photos and short video clips from my day-to-day operations—I just need someone to take those raw clips, apply basic edits/trending audio, write local-friendly captions/hashtags, and schedule them out for me across Facebook and I

i spent around $200 (unnecessarily) building a tool that can automatically find products from eBay, turn them into Pinterest-ready Pins, route them to the right board or create one when needed, schedule + publish them, and monitor the product links afterward. it also works with products from ur own website, but the original reason i started building it was because i wanted to get back into doing affiliate products on

HULU and Amazon and other streaming services, entry low cost, (the advertisement supported plan) can serve commercials that feel 2x louder than the programming. The Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act was designed to address excessively loud TV commercials, but federal rules were written around broadcast and cable television, not modern streaming platforms. That gap raises a broader question I bel

The account that made me reconsider what a normal flow count looks like was Callie's Hot Little Biscuit, a handmade biscuit business in Charleston. The run 20+ automations. Not twenty variations on a welcome series either, actual distinct flows. Two of them trigger purely on order count. A second order within a year tells the customer they're getting VIB status. Very important Biscuiteer, on their next one. A third o

Hey everyone, I recently took over the website for another dental clinic in our group. The website itself was built fairly recently by an agency, but after getting access and checking Google Search Console, I discovered something pretty concerning. Apart from the clinic’s legitimate pages, Google has around **60,000 URLs indexed** and roughly **100,000+ URLs showing as not indexed**. A huge number of these appear to

I’ve messed around with using my competitors names as keywords and actually got a couple leads from it. But after two or three days Google gives me a 1/10 quality score. The only way I can fix it is by making a page specifically for each competitors like a comparison page, but that seems a little unethical business wise. And could lead to legal trouble. What’s your thoughts on it?

I'm trying to get access to a clients existing Google ads account that I'm taking over because I don't want to lose all that data. The old agency responded to my client with this email: For security purposes, I’m not able to provide a login as your ad account is housed within our master client account with Google. You should be able to pull any data you need directly from the Performance Dashboard. Is there really no

There isn't much documentation around what I assume is the single most important part of running an OpenAI Ad: the context hint input box. It suggests you input topics/keywords but that it isn't exact-match targeting. But then it's a text input box with no character limit. So you could technically put a few sentences or paste an entire brief in this box. How much is too much, too little? I also imagine this is our si

My site was heavily affected by the June update. Over the last 3 months I’ve: Removed/noindexed thousands of thin or low-value pages Rebuilt the sitemap and kept only genuinely useful URLs Fixed internal linking and crawl issues Removed unnecessary category/filter pages Improved the main pages and increased the number of quality pages/content There’s no manual action in GSC. The interesting part: rankings keep coming

We’re considering running our first test with ChatGPT Ads for a B2B tech company. From what I’ve read, the platform is still relatively new, so I’m trying to figure out the best way to approach the first campaign. Our main goal is pretty straightforward: drive qualified traffic to our website and ultimately get people to request a demo. For those who have already experimented with ChatGPT Ads: * What type of campaign

What the flip is going on since August update… now all our budget is moving out of shopping and into search on our pmax campaigns

I partnered with a marketing company - didn’t have to pay - and they got me links all over the place. My score went up like a lot. Also got myself submitted to startup directories. That helped. Any other tricks on how to get a bunch of links without paying thehoth or some other website 300 per link? Legal ways, please. 🙏

Had a meeting today with an SEO company. They offer 20 hrs / month of SEO work for $2600 / mo. Their pitch deck included in-depth website audit, backlink building, content creation and publishing, and technical SEO. I’m not technically illiterate. I built my site, and page speed insights grades the site SEO at 100. I don’t know that I have the time necessary to dedicate to implementing a proper SEO strategy for long

I just landed a client who's a jeweler. We're getting a ton of sales from Instagram. Built her a website, currently running meta ads, and driving traffic to our site. Then I also designed and wrote emails for her. Problem: I've setup the core basics (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC) and we're landing in the promotions tab. I've subbed to our competitors and they're landing in the primary inbox. What are they doing that we're no

Hi redditors! The FTC and 22 states sued Amazon on August 31 over what you paid for your ads. You all know how a second price auction works. You bid two dollars, the next guy bids one, you pay a dollar and a cent. You never pay your own number. The FTC says that stopped being true in 2019. Amazon added what it called a soft reserve price, and its own executives described it in internal documents as an invented auctio

I've got a page on my personal site that lets you play against over 100 different chess engines in the browser. It doesn't have many users, but the users it has are highly engaged. I've got 1.5k page views from 64 users in the last month. It's not enough traffic to run ads, but I was wondering if affiliate marketing or another method could bring in some money from the page? But I'm not sure what would be appropriate

I started a completely new Instagram page 8 days ago with **0 followers** just to see how much I could grow it in 30 days. After the first week, I’m at **1,180 followers**. So far, my top videos are: **777K views** **497K views** **62K views** I’ve been posting anywhere from **1–4 times per day**, mostly using Trial Reels. For the first 3 days, I only posted once per day. My third video ended up taking off and is cur

It's kinda wild but yeah!! a creator messaged me once asking where her sample was and I genuinely had no clue about that at all so I went through my emails, my notes, my spreadsheet and found nothing it turned out that I approved her two weeks ago and then completely forgot about her and god!! she was annoyed (she had every right to be) and this wasn't the first time, it has been a routine procedure for me for a whil

My job is very monotonous, so I don't see other peoples work much, so would like to know what your situations are like. For those clients that don't have much going on (as in, no drastic product/location changes/etc), do you change your reports at all? My reports are always: - Summary of data - Reasons why change might be - Summary of what we tested/changed - Next steps for next month The problem is, if the data was

Hey guys! I've been in the content space for 3+ years, and I've grown my own page to 30K+ followers, so I've made pretty much every mistake there is to make on this app. I'm looking to audit a handful of Instagram pages this week because I enjoy breaking down why some accounts grow while others stay stuck. Drop your handle below, and I'll reply with an honest breakdown. P.S. Guys! I am speechless🥲🫶 I never expected

I've been watching rankings climb and fall for 9 months now with no descendible pattern or end in sight. Google gets more and more cryptic about what constitutes "helpful content" and has outwardly admitted to the DOJ that existing traffic and click patterns are one of the primary factors in their rankings. What does this mean? It means no one knows why rankings fall or climb except Google which is currently getting

I'm hoping to move into freelance email marketing and am curious to hear from other uk based freelancers how you work out pricing. Do you charge per email, per project, or on a monthly retainer? I’ve read a few different opinions online and I’m finding it difficult to work out what’s considered reasonable. So far I’ve only done smaller freelance jobs for friends. I've heard of one email marketer charging £1,700 a mon

Hey everyone, Curious to know what’s working for you guys on Instagram these days. Are Reels still bringing the most reach, or are carousels and Stories doing better for engagement? Also, how long did it take you to start seeing consistent growth? I see a lot of advice about posting daily, using trending audio, and staying consistent, but wondering what’s actually working for people. Would love to hear your experienc

I’ve been want to do this for a while. I think it would be cool to have a virtual summit for SEO/AEO practitioners where we can discuss some of the misconceptions related to how LLMs are reshaping search. It’s a huge topic. We’ve done big in-person events but logistics was always a challenge. I prefer to hold it the second week of November. Is anyone here interested in being a speaker? If not, what topics would you l

I have noticed some stores seem to offer discounts all the time, while others rarely use them. Do you think regular discounts actually help with sales, or do customers iventually just wait for the next one?

I took over email for a 7-figure clothing brand last december. Email had been doing ok earlier in the year, then campaigns basically tanked. by december it was 18.6% of store revenue. By june it was 32.5%. Attributed revenue went from $35k/month to $84k/month. store revenue grew 36% in that time, email grew 139%. here's what made it happen, in order of impact. **1.** campaigns. the brand went from 56k campaign sends

I do marketing for a restaurant group and also run their socials. I only took over about 3 months ago. Most posts before I came on got between 600-1,000 views and around 10 likes. Super low engagement and overall eyes on the posts. I chalked it up to the person posting and archiving the same 3 weekly events every week with very little variety (maybe 1 unique post every week to two weeks). They were also super repetit

Has anyone ever truly started an account from 0 and grown? Im not talking friends already following - starting from 0 and relying solely on Instagram to bring you followers... I observed myself and this is THE thing keeping me from making ANY videos - i just end up procrastinating at the thought of posting to 0 people. I would REALLY appreciate if someone can give me some hope here...can an account be grown from 0? I

Hi everyone, 5-year marketing professional, 3-year email strategist here. For context, I've been doing email marketing for a non-profit for about 3, almost 4 years now. Going into it, I knew nothing about emails and had to learn everything from the ground up after taking it on from someone who left the position. I work out of HubSpot, and I've created subscription types, opt-out workflows, segmented various audiences

I used to create content full-time, but about 2 years ago I deleted all of my posts and completely stopped posting. I recently came back and decided to switch my content more toward beauty + fashion. I still have around 16K followers, and technically I’ve reached around 50K accounts this month, but the engagement is SO low. Some posts/reels barely get likes, and it feels like my followers aren’t really seeing my cont

I've got a product that's been performing pretty consistently and I've been increasing spend on it over the last few weeks. I've also gotten a much better idea of what angles people respond to, so coming up with new hooks and concepts hasn't really been the problem. The problem is getting all of those ideas turned into actual ads. I've got a list of stuff I wanna test but between getting UGC made, editing everything

I’ve been running an e-commerce business with more than 100 products for over 18 years. Year after year, we experienced consistent sales growth. By end of 2025 - something changed. Over the past year, our sales have dropped by nearly 40**%**. And it’s not from a lack of effort or investment. We’ve continued to improve and optimize virtually every part of the business: • Website performance and user experience • SEO a

This is partly a rant, partly asking for advice. I'm an editor/content marketer for a midsize SaaS company and I report into the SEO/growth marketing part of the business. And I feel like the SEO manager is stuck in 2010. First, keyword density is still top of mind for him and every article we produce is littered with keywords that sound robotic. Second, we're trying to produce more net new content and have only star

I've been an indie dev for the past few years. Before generative AI took off, things were decent—I could build small utility tools, do some SEO, and make a reasonable living from them. Recently, though, it feels impossible. Everything gets cloned in literally minutes by someone using AI tools. You launch something, and someone else spins up an identical copy the next day. The moat is gone, and quite frankly, competin

We finally figured out what was happening. Instagram is aggressively rolling out forced "AI Info" tags onto organic content, and it is absolutely destroying viewer trust. Here is what triggers the penalty and how to strip the metadata before you upload: Meta's detection tools are completely overreacting right now. You don't have to upload a fully AI-generated avatar to get flagged. If you use Adobe Photoshop's Genera

Hey I was wondering what if I build a digital product around "self improvement" picking a specific niche in it. Then used pintrest to promote? I am thinking about like this. Pins (Pintrest post) → sending them to an article, inbetween I will ask for their name and email. → after reading the article at then of the article I will pitch the digital product. Maybe then could buy from there or I will send 3 sequence email

Hey! I was wondering what you guys prefer to use for writing good articles. I know that it usually depends on how you prompt and all. But from what I've seen I would usually say that Astra is better. My current workflow is writing articles with Opus 5 and Astra review them. I think that Opus is great to compare a lot of sources, but I feel like the structure is often bad, some paragraphs are too long. That's why revi

A few years back I posted about the impending doom of this role, and recently I've been feeling that more than ever. I have my various reasons, but I won't get into that. A lot of posts of that ilk are met with responses from people who say they've moved on from the industry or switched careers entirely. I'd love to know what people have switched to, particularly in this AI era. I know I, for one, want to get as far

I’m looking for someone who is genuinely good at creating high-converting Facebook & Instagram poster ads. I’m NOT looking for a basic graphic designer who can simply make a poster look good. I want someone who understands performance marketing — someone who knows how to create an ad that makes a stranger stop scrolling, become curious, click, and visits the landing page You should understand things like: • Strong ho

I've been going back and forth on this for a few months and I'm most of the way to a decision, so I'm writing it out partly as a sounding board to check my reasoning. Omnisend has worked fine. I'm not hedging, it’s been three years and no real problems, support picks up fast. The reorder flow is what I keep coming back to. We sell a food product, so on paper it's simple, work out how long a unit lasts and remind them

I've been trying to figure this out with short-form content lately and honestly it's kinda frustrating 😂 You can spend 2 hours making a Reel that you think is great and it gets basically no reach. Then you throw together something simple in 20 mins and suddenly it does 5x better. I've noticed that the videos that work best usually aren't the ones with the fanciest editing. It's usually something really simple in the

Hello guys, it’s been nearly 8 months of me working in an agency (start up) and I already feel burned out. Just wanted to hear from you all what are the problems that you face both from client sides and your manager if any and how do you handle it? The problem I face are: 1. A manager, who is indifferent towards me as he provided me a full time position from being an intern. 2. Being asked to deliver, after giving “6

Hey folks I started a SaaS last year an have tried some content creation in social media and in my website (aiming Google SEO). After some months I am felling stuck at my \~4000 impressions/week with 128 clicks (around 3,2% of CTR and avg position as 9,2). My SaaS is basically a digital gift for partners. I already created several posts like "Top X gift for girlfriend birthday" and variations. I am not sure what to d

A prospective customer asked whether they could have their company logo show up next to their emails. That led me to add BIMI support to FranklyMail, the email hosting service I run. The first version lets people upload a logo and public mark certificate, host both over HTTPS, and generate the DNS record. A couple of things from building and testing it might be useful if you're doing this for a client. The SVG conver

Hi everyone, I’m currently in the process of launching an e-commerce store focused on white-label clothing accessories and home accents made from sustainable, high-end natural fibers. So far, I’ve invested around **$7k USD** covering inventory, custom packaging, photography, and website setup. Because these are premium, imported natural fibers (sourced directly from the same top-tier suppliers used by elite Italian l

After deciding to get more deeply into SEO i want to know what are the best books to get into the topic? Or is there courses or any form of content that are totally worth it ? Which source did you learn the most from ?

I'm new to AM and working on my ai video niche. Recently one of my youtube tutorials around pixverse went viral. It was a detailed tutorial about how to use image-to-video generation and template feature, and had 100k+ views. Have no idea what to do next. Should I just copy and paste? Like making more videos with the same topic or a topic cluster and just throwing the link in the description. But it feels like I’m ju

Amazon just cut off **Meta’s new Muse agent** from buying anything on Amazon.com. Users now hit a conditions-of-use warning. * Muse launched earlier this month as a **personal agent that can browse, fill forms, and complete purchases.** * **Amazon says Meta never notified them**, the agent does not identify itself, and it appears to handle customer credentials. * Meta states the agent cannot see passwords or payment

I keep hearing AI is cutting down on everyone's workload, but I'm still sitting at my desk 10 hours a day. Drafting's a little easier, but I'm still doing a ton of editing and refining. Analytically, I'm still the one monitoring how a campaign is performing. I'm not sure if I'm using the wrong tools, or if the real issue is I haven't figured out where the line sits between what's reliable enough to hand off completel

I was thinking that I have to find some way to make some money. For that reason I end up to do AFFILIATE MARKETING High ticket affiliate marketing. But before that I don't know what kind of product works and which platform would be One best to select and promote. Maybe I will not consider showing my face and even making or editing videos. So for now No Youtube, tiktok or Instagram. I have heard about threads or pinte

I'm a solo entrepreneur, running my online business by myself. I'm primarily a developer and product builder rather than a marketer, and I've been running my Google Ads account by myself for years. I don't have the budget to barely pay my salary, not speaking about a PPC specialist. I had some money saved, and for September I really wanted to push more. As I'm still growing slowly, I saved money to make it my most pr

About six months ago I was working at a marketing agency doing influencer and UGC stuff and to be very honest I hated it, the campaigns took forever and conversions were totally based on luck quite literally trash and I literally felt like I was just going through motions. It was hard for me to decide at first but after just one more Monday I decided to quit my job and thought about going solo and as I had the idea a

Curious how others are approaching this. There's a whole category of tools now that track how your brand shows up when people ask ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude for recommendations. We've tried going down that road, and I'm not sure what to make of it. The honest problem is I don't fully trust the numbers, and even when I do, I'm not sure what to actually do with them. The dashboards look impressive, but I struggle to turn an

Let's say I post 5 trials at once, which are the same video but with slight changes- say, one is 1.05x speed, one is slightly brighter, etc. Will Instagram detect them as duplicates even though they're not the same file? I've seen many people on IG say it works but I just wanted to get your guys' input.

I have been selling ebooks and a few templates off my website for about 6 months. It was just a hobby until sales started picking up... i know close to nothing about sales tax/VAT on digital products. I figured as long as i reported my normal US income at tax time i was totally fine. Then i came across a few reddit posts about EU/UK having strict VAT rules so im freaking out with my tax compliance situation. For cont

I basically work with Shopify/Ecommerce store owners and these are the things I've been asked to build the most and these are the actual things that helped them, some of these people I've been working with for years and they are making between $5k-$20k a month. 1. A bot that automates pretty much everything: related to your products, inventory, pricing availability, name literally everything you just text it from you

The stats: 48.4% skip rate, 1.5% share rate, 7.7% like rate, 2.1% save rate, 0.4% repost rate, 0.1% comment rate, 8s watch time. Correct me if I’m wrong, but these stats are mediocre right? So how is the reel getting 50k views at 19hours and still going strong??

Hello I'm trying to learn SEO by building a mock site, I tried to make it as real as i could, it is supposed to be a site for an industrial manufacturer trying to sell aboard, I added hundreds of SKUs, applied seo i learned to it, such as html structure, writing blogs etc. After almost 3 months now, the traffic is going zero, for a period of time it was around 20-30 daily, and earlier one day it even jumps to several

Hi, I would like to hear a few opinions. I am thinking about a career change and start an online shop. However, I have zero experience in e-commerce nor marketing. I know stuff like SEO, Google/Meta adds or paying influencer exist. Also I know a bit of Shopify. But all in all, know prior knowledge. I have a very deep technical background as well an EU university degree (Computer-Vision, AI and many more). +10 years w

For context I own the account @mentalitylions and a few others. The important thing to realise is that what worked last year isn’t what works this year… and what worked last month isn’t what works now. The algorithm is constantly changing and you have to keep up with it. People are SLEEPING on SEO in your captions. Content is king, absolutely, but SEO is the difference between a few likes and millions. Without good c

I’ve been posting consistently for almost a month now. I’ve been putting on all my focus and energy on content, analyzing each video and trying to improve every time. But I am getting a slow growth. What am I doing wrong? What am I doing right? What should be my approach for a faster growth in the next weeks? And should I keep pushing?

Hi. I’m based in the UK and I’m starting to sell perfumes and I’ve noticed how a huge amount of my audience is based overseas, international. I’m struggling with the shipping side because perfumes are classed as dangerous goods due to the alcohol content. I’ve contacted private couriers such as DG parcel but it’s expensive & their reviews are terrible & they don’t pick up their calls. So not sure about them. I’ve hea

Has anyone experienced this with Trial Reels? In August, our Trial Reels were consistently reaching **50K–100K+ views**, but recently they’ve dropped drastically to only **100–500 views** We’re struggling to understand what changed. If you’ve experienced something similar what did you do? Any insights or things that worked for you would be really appreciated! 🙏🏼

Hey people! What's the best way to move a newsletter from [domain1.com](http://domain1.com) to [news.domain2.com](http://news.domain2.com) without breaking deliverability? The back story is that I'd like to completely rebrand a newsletter I own. Basically the full works - name, domain, etc.... The theme remains the same, but I've built a service on another domain which is more appropriate. Has anyone done this before

I keep seeing buyers chase 'Excellent' Ad Strength like it buys auction advantage. It doesn't. Here's what the data actually says. Optmyzr looked at \~20,000 accounts and 1M+ ads: 'Excellent' RSAs averaged $28.68 CPA and 4.97% conversion rate, while 'Average' ads averaged $12.43 CPA and 12.65% conversion rate. 'Poor' had the best ROAS of the three at 327.65%. If Ad Strength drove performance, that ordering would be r

Over the last two days, free product listings and popular product carousels have largely vanished from Google Search in the European Economic Area. Independent trackers recorded 90–100% drops in several countries. Google confirmed the change follows Digital Markets Act requirements. * The space is shifting toward price comparison services instead of direct merchant free listings. * Organic visibility for many retaile

SEO is VERY new to me, and I am in a digital marketing SEO class. One of our first major assignments requires us to use a keyword search tool to do analitics to find out Monthly search amounts, CPC, dificulty, relevance, and trend. The thing is the course materials are out dated as fuck, giving us recommendations to use keyword search tools which used might have been completely free before 2010, bit now require you t

Service-based business. Local, appointment-based. Technical audit is 100%. Referring domains: 0. No PR, no directories that matter, no guest posts.

Mediamaxxing reached out to my brand-new UGC account asking me to join their CPM-based creator program. I politely declined because I’m currently prioritizing retainers. They responded that they wouldn’t offer a retainer to someone with “50 followers” even though they approached me first. What’s crazy is they judged my entire experience from one new account without asking any questions. I have a main account with tho

I run an e-commerce store with around 500 products. The same product can appear in several relevant categories, such as men’s bracelets, gold-plated bracelets, and silver bracelets. Every category links to the **exact same product URL**. Each category has its own URL and self-referencing canonical, but the product listings overlap.

I've been growing an Instagram account in the AI/visual art niche, and it recently passed 430K followers. I've tested a lot along the way ㅡ Reels, posting frequency, hooks, captions, hashtags, and what actually gets people to share or save a post. I'm still learning, and I don't think the same strategy works for every niche. But if you're trying to grow an Instagram account, ask me anything. I'll answer based on what

did anyone uses Microsoft clarity or tag manager or both? i want to make sure to have an near precise tracking for my store.

What's your business model? I've been trying ds for a while and it's not working and I thought I'd rather work on another business model. Could you describe what it is that you do without being too specific? I'd really appreciate any responses, thanks a lot for reading!

I started my first physical product as a side business and I’m still fairly new to e-commerce. The first batch was intentionally just a test to see if there was any demand for my product . So far I’ve sold exclusively through my own store with no paid marketing. Quick numbers: \- 250 units produced, 98 sold \- 16 gifted to \~15 creators, 136 left \- €69.95 retail, €64.25 actual average selling price \~€18.95 product/

instagram rolled out an update at the end of april that scores your account on a rolling 30 day basis. if most of what you posted in that window is reposts or aggregated content instead of anything original, your reach in explore and other recommendation spots takes a hit, the same system they already used for reels since 2024, just extended to photos and carousels now what counts as safe is narrower than i expected.

Hello everyone! Quick question about Meta vs Google Ads attribution. For example, Meta is reporting 22 purchases and Google Ads 45, but in GA4 I only see 6 purchases from Meta and 39 from Google — so 45 purchases in total instead of 67. And I can’t really go to the client saying “Meta generated 22 purchases and Google 45” when GA4 is showing something completely different 😅 You see my problem. How do you usually han

Hello everyone, If you were starting in SEO today with some basic knowledge and a couple of real projects with some pretty nice results how would you go about building a career? Would you focus on getting a full time SEO job or maybe try freelancing first? If you would choose full time how would you approach it? If freelance is the way what would you do? Looking for practical advice from people actually working in th

I finally got it up and running after much procrastination. Getting APIs, automations, guardrails, and account context set up is kind of a pain in the snatch. But once it's all set up, it's really very easy to use and transformative for daily workflows. I'm starting to build out different routines and skills to help me manage my accounts. I have the basics like automated briefs and account reports. Beyond that, I'm n

There are certain metrics everyone watches because they’re easy to see. CTR, CPC, ROAS, conversion rate. But sometimes a “good” number doesn’t mean much without context. What’s one metric you think people overreact to, and what do you prefer looking at instead?

For context, I currently use a photography focused website builder (Pixieset) and am on the free plan but found that I’m able to rank on page one for my #1 priority search phrase. To further my reach and legitimacy, I’m contemplating upgrading from the free plan to one of the paid plans to be able to include features like custom code, unlimited blogs, ability to use custom domain, etc. 1.

When I started my business, I thought automation was mostly for big businesses. Looking back, there were a bunch of small repetitive tasks I could have automated much earlier. Things like inventory updates, order confirmations, basic customer emails, and keeping information consistent between the systems I use. None of these tasks were particularly difficult. They just had to be done over and over. Now I think the be

Made a mistake and bought a few followers for my business page from what was recommended to me as a reliable site / service. Pretty dumb still, I know. Now there’s an auto refill running and followers keep getting sent 24/7 even though most dissappear shortly after. I’ve contacted the seller multiple times but they won’t respond, and there’s no option to cancel the refill. I really don’t want to change or delete the

Creators are using affiliate links, affiliate publishers are creating more creator-style content, and brands are putting more performance behind creator partnerships. The line between influencer and affiliate is getting pretty blurry. For those running both, has that overlap shown up in your programs? What has it actually looked like?

Hey everyone! I’m a 3D sculptor, and lately I’ve been trying to take my Instagram more seriously. The problem is, I understand sculpting much better than Instagram 😅 I can spend days working on a character, making final renders, WIPs and short videos and then barely anyone sees the post. So I’d really like to hear from other artists who focus on visual content: What works best for you - final renders, WIPs, timelaps

If you manage Google Ads accounts for clients, you need to know about this scam. And yes, it’s real. Other PPC agencies have been reporting the same pattern. The scam often starts with what looks like an incredible new business enquiry. Someone claims to work for a large, legitimate company and says they have a massive Google Ads budget to spend. $30,000 a month. $50,000 a month. Sometimes significantly more. Everyth

We have a bunch of AI-generated pages on our website that were created as an experiment by a non-technical team member. They’re basically daily incident reports. The AI scans the web, gathers whatever it can find about disruptions, and spits out a big summary. The content isn’t necessarily wrong. It’s just not very special. Most of the time it’s basically saying, “Here’s everything the internet already said about thi

Totally new to ecommerce, and wondering if I have to have a Chinese sourcing agent. Since I'm starting with a small fund, I wanna do as much work as possible by myself to save money. About what percentage of sellers have one (if importing from China)? If I must get one, how do I know if they're reliable, and how much do I pay them?

Every email project seems to hit the same failure mode: copy keeps changing while someone is already building the layout. We started treating the brief like a tiny contract: - one approved source of truth for copy - brand rules and fallback links written down - changes after handoff called out instead of silently patched - a final text-only review before rendering It cut down the “why did this button move?” loop more

Hi, I recently sent one of my websites for indexation, approximately 85 pages, and one or two days after submitting my sitemap, the 2 main pages I asked for manual indexation were indexed, but all the other pages just disappeared.

I was recently hiring a Junior Google Ads Specialist for my agency, and we received 200+ resumes. What surprised me was that around 40% of the applicants had 3-5+ years of experience in SEO, but were now applying for a junior-level Google Ads role. A lot of them were looking to make a shift from SEO → Google Ads. It made me curious: Is AI changing the SEO job market enough that experienced SEO professionals are now l

Been sitting on this one for a while now, guess today's the day. Doing paid media solo for about 12 yrs now, & for most of that time it was the same setup every time, client hands me the whole account, I run it end to end, they mostly leave me alone. Not anymore really. More of my newer clients already have someone in-house handling marketing, usually a coordinator or a generalist who's also doing email, social, what

We run an agency and got another call from a Google Rep today, after the usual song and dance, we politely told him to sod off. Our Adwords account was hacked few months ago and Google wouldn't even give us a courtesy call, so we couldn't be bothered talking to them. Lost heaps of money because someone from Vietname setup their own Ad campaign on our account. So there is a bit of personal beef. That said, I looked ba

I ran a DMARC check scan on top 1M shopify store domains and found that only about one third of them have a strict DMARC enforcement. Studies after studies have shown that moving to a p=reject DMARC policy has improved domain reputation as well as inbox placement rate. My client's IPR jumped from 78% to 93% after enforcement. And this also protects your customers from impersonators, so it's a win-win situation. So, I

Hi email marketers. I am not an email marketer but I know a good amount about the space because I used to read a lot about building lists. My company has forever added people manually into email lists. They literally will ask the company “send me contacts who you want to be a part of our email list” and over time this has gotten to about 8000 on Salesforce. It drives me nuts how no one thinks this is a bad practice a

No ad budget, just organic traffic from socials and Google. **The numbers:** * 200 to 250 visitors a day * About 60% of the visitors finish the calculator.

Hey everyone, as my list grows, naturally its conversion rate will decrease over time as it builds up stale leads. However, I have tried segmenting new, old, cold, etc. and I find that I will always get some conversions from the groups I thought had completely checked out. This makes me reluctant to remove people because there's still a small chance they will convert. Besides my ego being bruised when the open rate g

Hi everyone, I am looking for someone experienced in **Google Search Ads and affiliate marketing** who would be willing to mentor me or at least guide me in the right direction.

I handled the campaign myself, including: * Keyword research * Google Search campaign setup *

Same reel. Same audio, same edit, same caption. I only changed the opening frame and posted it three times across three weeks so the algorithm treated them fresh.

Reach, roughly: \- A did the worst by a wide margin. People scrolled past because nothing t

Where are you guys reading and getting real SEO experience/data from? I mean actual case studies, experiments, real results, ranking changes, tests, and things people learned from working on real sites, not just basic SEO articles.

I run a EU PC hardware price comparison site, solo. For most of the time I've been running it, revenue was close to zero, embarrassingly close. This month (14 days): €76.30 total, €20.18 via Awin, €56.12 via Amazon before my Amazon account got rejected again. Still small, but the first month that's actually felt like something real was working, and also the clearest sign yet that Amazon's affiliate program is a genui

keep burning time because the layout comes back with "improved" subject lines, tweaked offers, or moved CTAs after legal/brand already signed off. what’s working for me is splitting the job: lock brand + approved words first, then generate/edit layout around that. copy stays frozen, design can move. do you freeze copy somehow, or do you just fight the builder every round?

Honestly been struggling with this for months. My agency is just me and one VA right now so we’re bootstrapping everything. I’ve been using Hunter’s free tier which gives you 25 searches per month. It works okay for finding business emails if you already know the person’s name and company, but that’s about it. No phone numbers, no way to search for new contacts. Apollo has a free plan too but the data is pretty hit o

I hit a total wall a few months back. I was stressing out daily trying to tensed out endless posts across every single platform just to keep up with a monthly calendar. The content was completely losing its soul, and I felt like a machine instead of a marketer, and I am losing hope. So, I made a sudden call to cut our posting frequency by more than half and only share things that were genuinely worth reading and curi

We’ve been messing with an agent around paid media for a few weeks now and most of it has gone pretty well it takes care of a bunch of the small account stuff that used to eat time and catches things faster than we were doing by hand. Then the other day we started looking further down the funnel and something felt off CPA was improving but some of the cheaper conversions weren’t turning into the better pipeline later

I recently started a small herbal tea company and honestly I’m feeling pretty stuck right now. I have my Shopify store completely set up, products ready to go, and I’ve been trying to post consistently on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Most of my videos are just me making the different teas, showing the ingredients, the colors, etc. I actually put a decent amount of effort into the videos too. Good lighting, editin

I'm running a Target CPA campaign for a $300 product. I only have **1 historical conversion** in the account. Google recommended a **$115 Target CPA**, but I set it to **$160** because I was worried it wouldn't spend. My budget is **$25/day**. So far it has spent **$163.50 with 0 sales**, but it keeps spending. My assumption was: **if Google keeps spending, it must still think it can eventually average around the $16

I have a wooden kitchenware tiered serving item that is Christmas themed (similar to a cupcake display stand). I will be trying to break onto the scene and sell them online for Christmas. I’m assuming professional photography is the way to go? It’s just the one item. I’d like tips on how to find product photographers, and what reasonable pricing and turnaround time might be. I’m in Orlando. Thanks!

Curious how people running international affiliate traffic approach this. Say one geo has decent click-through, landing-page engagement and even a reasonable number of people starting checkout, but the final purchase rate is noticeably worse than your stronger markets. How quickly do you assume the traffic itself is the problem? It seems like there are a bunch of things further down the funnel that could make an othe

I spent a couple weeks messing with a campaign because the clicks looked fine but barely anyone was doing anything after changed some keywords, killed a few ads, rewrote copy then changed half of it back because nothing really moved I kept assuming there was something wrong in the account.

She believes in a couple products that she wa

**TL;DR:** My agency drastically cut task estimates because we're expected to use AI, but the unrealistic deadlines ignore the mental load and analysis required.

I recently joined as an SEO intern and I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing is normal or if I'm just new to the industry. My manager assigned me a page to work on and expects to see results within a month.

About 200 reels of slow, honest grind, averaging a few hundred views. Then one did roughly 900k views and added about 6k followers in two days. I have gone back and compared it to my normal stuff obsessively, because I wanted to know if it was luck. Some of it was. But three things were genuinely different, and I have half-replicated them since. 1. The hook was a specific number plus a mistake. Instead of "tips for b

I read somewhere that early comments matter so I tested it properly for a month. Every reel, I blocked the first 60 minutes after posting and replied to literally every comment, real sentences, asking a question back when I could. The goal was to keep the comment thread moving while the app was deciding whether to push the post wider. My average comment count roughly doubled because my replies pulled people back to l

I started a website in March with a simple idea: build my own education in physical AI by researching and writing about everything I was curious about. Since then, I’ve published more than 50 deep dives, added a news section, and started a newsletter. I use AI to help with research and writing, while learning about the subject and SEO along the way. The screenshot shows my last six months in Google Search Console: **

Hey guys, After a few years of working with an agency doing email marketing, that collaboration recently ended and I’m honestly a bit lost right now. I’ve realized that freelancing just isn’t really for me. I’m pretty introverted and I’m much better at doing the actual work than constantly putting myself out there, promoting myself and trying to sell myself to new clients. That’s also why I’ve always preferred workin

Hi everyone! I’m currently doing a marketing internship with a high-end publication, and I’m also learning email marketing. I asked the publication whether I could learn how they use email marketing to reach their readers. They explained that they don’t really use email marketing as a general reader-acquisition strategy because they want to maintain the publication’s premium image. They do have a monthly newsletter f

Been noticing a lot of stores creeping past 30 days on returns lately, some going to 60 or even 90, and it doesn't really read as generosity anymore. Feels more like a defensive move, since everyone in a given category already offers it and a shorter window quietly costs you the sale before the customer even gets to checkout. Came across a comparison of exit-survey data a while back where "unclear or short return pol

Over the past six months, our Facebook reach and follower growth have dropped significantly. Could this be related to changes in the algorithm, especially since our content strategy hasn’t changed much? Are there any new trends or updates we should be aware of? Or have people simply become less engaged with this type of content?

I recently launched a small utility website and started tracking its performance on both Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. The difference is quite surprising.

Hi r/ppc! I'm currently digging into Google Ads for Lead Gen for my design business. My long term goal is to close one new client a month (on average), for a mid-size ticket service of roughly 4K.

As far as my current understanding goes, Smart

**Disclaimer**: this isn’t an ad, just sharing what I’ve learned from managing UGC creators and what I’d do to keep the process organized as you scale.

You have briefs going out, videos coming back, revisions, approvals, payments and performance data a

Also for more context I've been running Virallize

Hey everyone. Running a men's skincare brand here in the UAE and hitting a wall. **The problem:** We are getting hundreds of visitors to our site and social pages, but nobody's actually buying anything. They're clicking through and dipping instantly. Not sure if the problem is with the ads or pricing or another X factor. Let me know if any of you went through something similar and how were you able to solve it. https

Hi there, I'm Simon. Been in the marketing industry for the last 10+ years. Total corporate experience 16+ years. Worked with over 40+ B2B tech and SaaS companies.

I'm also a father of two children, my wife cannot work due

Anyone else noticing very high cpcs for Target CPA campaigns? We usually have $25 - $30 cpc but for the last few days it went $100 to $500 per click. Is there a reason for that? We have a campaign with Target CPA $400 and we are getting a $457 click. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I am running an ad for professional editing and proofreading services across US. Over the last 30 days, I've seen bots, dummy accounts, people that literally are broke and seeking free services (no offense), fake form submissions (people are stunned when we call them), clicks from places like Somalia, Ghana, Costa Rica even though I've set US as my targeted market. As a result, I received 18 leads, none of which want

Backstory is that a few days ago I wrote about my experience with mavely and how wrong it has gone, now it's about the same with Awin. I basically joined Awin about 2 weeks ago and everything seemed to be fine, started to receive offers almost every single day from brands and I was super optimistic about it only for Awin to shock me out of the blue today with a message that the manual review led up to my account bein

I can't tell you how sad I am to see people say Meta-descriptions - I guess those agencies really, really are justified spending on marketing as they're not going to have great customer retention.

Everything feels pretty smooth until someone wants to pay, then they get pushed into a completely different flow. It works, but as orders have started picking up I’m wondering if I’m losing people there without realizing it. Right now checkout is probably the most disconnected part of my customer journey. I’ve been looking into embedded checkout so I can keep the whole experience closer to the site but I don’t want t

Some high-end fashion websites are way easier to buy from than others. The difference usually shows up once you actually start ordering. I’m not talking so much about the visual design. I mean the stuff that matters once you actually want to order something. Good product photos, accurate measurements, useful descriptions, seeing what sizes are actually available, and knowing the real cost before getting to checkout.

Hey all, so our impressions and clicks are down a lot year over year, yet our average position is actually getting much better. I really can't explain this... If our position is rising, shouldn't impressions and clicks rise too?

Before I paid, Ray made false promises on Instagram just to take my money, personally guaranteeing he would scale my brand to $10k–$15k with solid guarantees (I didn’t even get 1 order). Once inside, his Discord group was a complete mess where they don't deliver anything they sold you, and after being passed around to three "specialists" with zero experience, the team “3 ECOM SPECIALIST”admitted they don't know how t

Had a client's account get its headlines swapped, conversion goal changed, and a batch of Google-generated assets added, all in the same week, without anything that felt like a real heads up. Found it by accident going through Change History, not because anything alerted us. I get that auto-apply exists and I probably should've had it off from day one on this account. What's bugging me more is how invisible the chang

I recently had an argument with my business partner about whether our tiktok shop affiliate program is truly profitable or not because trust me there's a huge disparity between what seems and what actually is in this space.

Hi guys, Im a social & creative strategist with 2+ years experience and I keep seeing horrible advice in here. Fake promises of fast growth and a lot of it isn’t necessarily wrong, it’s just so vague that it’s basically useless because every niche behaves differently and not everyone was born to do content. So here a few notes: \* Plan your content. You dont need to** **build a 90-day content calendar (unless you’re

Been testing the same commercial queries across a few models and the differences are kinda ridiculous. We're showing up consistently in ChatGPT for one category and then almost disappear when I check Gemini. Different competitors too. Anyone else seeing gaps this big between engines? Starting to think combining everything into one AI visibility score hides more than it helps.

First, thanks to this sub — I've gotten a lot of good advice here over the years. I've been working in PPC since 2009, aside from a brief stint on the platform side with a major social media company. Most of my career has been spent agency-side, and over the years I've worked extensively across paid search/shopping, GA4, GTM, and reporting/analytics. I've also built plenty of dashboards in Data Studio/Looker Studio a

I’ve just had my first reel hit 1M views and the maddest thing is it has nothing to do with my ‘usual’ topic. Filmed a quick post during the Heathrow delays yesterday, added a caption referencing World War Z. Posted it via trial reels. Went to sleep and woke up to over 200 comments. It’s now gone beyond 1M views under 24 hours later. The only issue is it has nothing to do with my usual videos. Is this a good thing? A

Say a customer clicks Creator A’s affiliate link to Store B, adds an item in the cart but doesnt buy. Later, Store B sends them a cart abandonment email with a discount code.

My job set up these KPIs for email marketing and I have to send at least 2 emails a week and track open rates & click rates. The thing is, we run a ton of sales (honestly too many imo) and I'm expected to send out 2 emails per week. Each sale should ideally get a launch send and a final hours send.

I am the marketing and Social Media person for a healthcare brand. When I started three years ago, I was creating images and carousels with educational text.

Curious whether anyone else in e-commerce has experienced this with TikTok Shop. I had a TikTok profile linked to my shop as a Marketing Account. Its purpose was simply to promote products from my own store. I later enabled Creator features to test affiliate income. That triggered a “Risky Behaviour” restriction. TikTok support initially told me the cause was an **account-status conflict** because Creator features ha

Got a client where a lot of the leads come through WhatsApp. Right now I’m just tracking the WhatsApp button click in GTM and sending that into Google Ads as a conversion.

Hi all, I do D2C email marketing and like most brands we send 3-4 campaigns per week. For the most part engagement is good but I always (without fail) will get at least one or two spam reports per month. This greatly affects Klaviyo's inbuilt deliberability check. I want to avoid this in future but I'm not sure how. Things I have tried include: 1. Making the unsubscribe button big and bold so there is no missing it.

I keep hearing the same advice everywhere: just be consistent. Post regularly. Don't disappear. Keep showing up. But I've seen accounts posting consistently for months with barely any growth, while other accounts post less often and seem to grow much faster. Starting to think consistency matters, but consistency with content people actually want to watch/share matters way more. For people who've actually grown an acc

Hello, Could anyone please have a look at my product page and see what you think? The product is positioned as a quality, but not premium pottery wheel option. It sits between the £200-400 products on the market, and £1400+ well known brand leaders. One thing i'm concerned about is the name. The name is quite generic, but I wanted it to be clear exactly who this is for. I'm concerned that the word 'home', while relev

Does everything have to be a reel?! I am getting veryyyy frustrated with reach. My engagement rate is extremely high for the 5 people that get to see it. My trial reels seem to explode pretty routinely, but I don’t want every post to be a reel designed with a hook. I want to contextualize myself and my perspective as a designer, too. I gained about 400 followers in the last couple of months, which I believe to be pre

Hi r/ecommerce \- I'm Paul and I follow the e-commerce industry closely for my Shopifreaks E-commerce Newsletter.

Hey everyone, I’m looking to step up my email marketing game and want to cut through the noise.

Google's u/johnmu went off again on programmatic SEO, this time saying that programmatic SEO can "often leads to a site that's either spam, borderline spam, or low quality," he wrote. These tactics can often lead Google's "systems have possibly lost faith in your site providing good value to users based on the old pages," he added.

I keep seeing these posts about people saying they grew their accounts by 10s of thousands of followers in a matter of a few months and mostly I’m just curious what type of content you’re posting.

Hey guys I've been grinding on Instagram for 8 months now. My engagement was steadily growing until about 2 weeks ago when it just fell off a cliff. Same content quality, same posting schedule but my reach is down by half. I've tried everything more hashtags, posting at different times, engaging with others in my niche. Nothing's working. It's frustrating when you put in the work but don't see results. Has anyone fou

Curious how multi-channel sellers are handling this once the business gets big enough that the numbers stop being simple. Say Amazon + Shopify report **$100k in sales**, but only **$82k actually lands in the bank** after some mix of marketplace/payment fees, refunds, ad spend, taxes, adjustments, and money temporarily held in reserve. When you're trying to figure out if you actually had a good month, which number do

ChatGPT Ads launched for Free and Go users. Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise stay ad-free. Google works because *everyone* uses the same search box.

The people with actual disposable income are disproportionately the ones paying for P

I run a small home services business, and between one Instagram account, one Facebook page, and an occasional LinkedIn post, I'm still doing everything manually.

I don't need anything complicated, since I'm not managing an inbox or trying to dig into de

I was just thinking the other day about Google updates in SEO, and usually have names like Panda, Penguin, and other things. The August 17th update hasn't got a name. I'm thinking something like the "Monkey Paw" update, but has anybody got any other ideas? 3 weeks in and is delivering what people ask for, but in a very sinister way. Naming it the August 17th update just seems a bit boring.

Does anyone know specifically what's changed? I created and run an account that grew to 150k followers in under a year, basically organic. A standard post would net anywhere between 100 to 300 new followers, and I'd post 2-3 times a week. 40-50k views per, a few went over a million. Then March comes, and poof, whole different story.

Another question from an SEO noob. Over the last few years, I’ve probably spent around $4,000–$5,000 on Fiverr buying backlinks. To be fair, some of the Fiverr Pro freelancers I’ve worked with seem pretty legit and have delivered good placements. But I have to admit it’s been very hit or miss. Sometimes I get links I’m happy with, and other times I look at what was delivered and wonder what I actually paid for. I rec

I'm looking for platforms or affiliate networks where I can offer affiliates a commission **per paid subscription** for my app. The app is focused on breakup recovery.

What platforms or networks would you recommend for finding affiliates on a CPA/revenue-share per subscription basis?

I am managing around 4-6 small accounts, less then $2000/m and only one campaign since they are all in the same vertical, sometimes the work feels non-existent.

Hi, we have been moving some of our businesses' Meta ad budget to ChatGPT ads. I made a few hundred ads so far but my cost per conversion has been higher than Meta - significant higher. I'm sure it's just my incapability to make it work. Any "secret" tips that has been working for you?

A customer replied to our post purchase email and mentioned that ChatGPT recommended it to us when she asked about replacement parts for an older machine.

The annoying part is that the referral only shows up when someone clicks the link, and plenty of people

I've been pulling data from multiple platforms into Accio Work, and somehow I have more data but less clarity. Meta says one thing, Shopify says another, GA4 adds another number. At some point, how do you decide what's actually worth looking at? Do you have a dashboard setup that works, or do you still end up checking everything when you need to make a decision?

Sharing because I see people making the same mistake in this sub every week. When I started in affiliate marketing, I did what most beginners do. I found the highest paying offer I could find ($65 payout for a trading app), threw traffic at it, and waited for the money to roll in. It didn't. I spent $1,200 on Google Ads over 3 months and got 4 conversions. All 4 users churned within the first week. Effective earnings

I’m an influencer and recently had a strange experience with a marketing agency. I’d worked with the same brand a few times, but there was never any exclusivity clause or discussion about not working with competitors. I recently did a paid collaboration with a competing brand, and the marketing agency then told me they wouldn’t work with me anymore because of it. The communication was also quite rude, which surprised

I recently joined a company as an SEO person, and I’m trying to understand whether the expectations I’ve been given are pretty standard or a bit ambitious. I don’t want to mention the company or too many specifics for obvious reasons 😭 A big part of my role is currently focused on link building, where I’m expected to build around 10–15 backlinks a week, along with roughly 2–3 third-party listicle placements.

I need 20+ ad versions a week, mostly to test different hooks. Tried a few AI ad tools, but the output usually feels too generic and I can’t control the first few seconds precisely enough. Right now I build one base ad in CapCut, then duplicate it and only swap the first 3 seconds + captions. The rest stays the same, so I’m actually testing one variable at a time. It works, but it’s still more manual than I’d like. A

our blended CAC is up about a third year over year and the board wants a new agency on paid before q4. i understand why they want it and i also know that handing a broken funnel to a new team usually buys you three months of account restructuring and a fresh set of learnings. what i want to settle before signing anything is how you tell a shop that will fix the account from one that will rebuild it in its own image a

Hi everyone, I’ve been working in software for the influencer marketing industry for a while, and over time I’ve become really interested in the business side of influencer marketing as well. My background is mainly in sales, structuring processes and using AI to make workflows more efficient. Because of my job, I also work closely with influencer marketing tools for analytics, campaign tracking and other data-driven

I started as a freelance writer on Upwork around 2020 and found myself in the blog writing space. SaaS companies mostly. Break downs of software, comparison posts, best x for y, etc. Most the time I was assigned a content brief, did my thing, and collected the .10 (sometimes .15) per word. I really didn’t know what affiliate marketing was until one of the sites I was writing for was an API review blog and I was like

I run social for a small ecommerce brand. Four accounts (IG, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest), no designer, no video editor, no one to hand anything off to. It's just me and a shared Google Drive folder. Here's what one single post actually costs me. Pull the product shot from the supplier folder, half of them are shot on a grey background with a watermark in the corner, so that's a crop and a cleanup. Resize into 1:1, 9

Anyone experiencing this at the moment? Decade old account, major home services marketplace. Ran accounts in-house for the past 4 years. Used to always spend close to campaign level daily limits then suddenly 1-3 Sept the spends are double the limit, which I know the fine print says will happen but timing is unusual. Nothing odd in auction insights, no other technical changes made. Wondering if something fishy is goi

Some agencies bundle website design, hosting, maintenance, SEO, and support into a monthly plan. The problem is that in some cases, you don't actually own the website. Once you're locked into their system, leaving can mean losing the site and starting over because the agency owns the website or online store. That can make business owners think twice before terminating the contract. Your website is an important busine

Hey yall, after spending weeks on meta ads I've finally gotten a good bit of views on my site. But my issue is that the atc and checkout rate are straight garbage. Does anybody have any ideas on why so? If y'all need any more info please ask! Thanks!

My main promotional space is Reddit, and I’ve been using one subreddit for almost 20 months now. I aggregate deals into one or two posts almost daily, and I’d like to monetize the process. I recently joined Awin, and offers are already starting to come in pretty regularly (around 2–3 a day). I was thinking of including up to 4 affiliate deals out of the 20 or so deals in each daily roundup, clearly tagged as “Brand A

I work for an agency who is not well versed in SEO (don’t get me started, they are 100% jack of all trades, master to none). I got put on doing SEO along with a million other tasks, including being client facing. Realistically, how many hours per client would you say you spend per month? We are building about three new pages per month, plus trying to fix previous issues on the site. I feel like I’m drowning and I’m n

Hey everyone, I run an e-commerce store and I've been running small, VIP product drops. The strategy so far has been to email a site password to my loyal customers, giving them 24-hour exclusive access. It’s a first-come, first-serve model and it's worked great. The problem: My list has grown significantly, and now they sell out quickly even with exclusive access, my current setup isn't working for the size of the li

My webmaster has all of the Wordpress/WooCommerce security implemented, and before anyone can make a purchase they have to click the "I am a human" checkbox. Authorize.net says the problem is not on their end, but the "Card Testing" attacks keep coming at a rate of hundreds per hour which requires me disable payments in authorize.net. I wait for a day and then enable payments in [authorize.net](http://authorize.net)

I run a FB Reels page in the joint pain/natural remedy niche (mostly older audience, \~30% US traffic). The organic reach is popping, but my traffic off-platform is essentially dead. I started running the page around 4 months ago, and in the last 28 days I got: * **1.5M views** * **20k followers** * **The setup:** "Comment YES" CTA -> Automated DM with a supplement affiliate link * **The result:** 36 link clicks tota

What's your favorite template marketplace or somewhere you go to source different email templates to use for your brand? I know a lot are custom but are doing email campaigns ourselves at the moment and dont have a lot of time to design from scratch. Canva has some decent ones but they lack creativity/design a bit. TIA!

David Nguyen accused Stryker Digital SEO of delivering zero leads over seven months despite budgets of $1,500–$2,500, posting call logs and traffic data showing declines after services began in May. Bodhi Gallo rebutted by detailing Google Business Profile setups, top AI rankings, and a successful $12,000 chargeback defense, noting the contract ended nine months ago and that broader factors affect sales. Commenters s

I'm super new to SEO and recently started working for a friend of mine who is a local roofing contractor, as a free experiment to gain experience of my own. I built the site and created a few service pages, added robots.txt, submitted the sitemap, etc. It's been about 6 months, and I've only gotten 10k impressions and 20 clicks in total with an average position of 30. I know I'm clearly doing something wrong, but I'm

I’m starting to question whether we’re just publishing content for the sake of publishing content. We’ve been putting out around 20–25 articles a month for the last few months. Most are properly optimized, internally linked, have decent word counts, and we’re targeting keywords that actually have some search volume. But traffic is barely moving. Some articles get indexed and sit somewhere around positions 30–60. A fe

I work in a marketing agency handling multiple clients that runs Google Ads. I handle about 15 clients ranging from 4 to 10 hours allocated monthly depending on how they big they are. Sometimes, I wonder if Im just too slow, or am I just bad at my job because I feel pressured and I feel like I don't have enough time. I do produce good results and im having good feedback but i find myself working like a dog to achieve

This week, Google allowed website owners and publishers to prevent their site from being used in generative AI, mostly relating to Google AI Overviews, and their AI Mode. This might help people who do informational content which have been decimated by 0 click searches. I'm thinking of turning mine off as I own a content site. Anyone else thinking the same? I average 15K daily impressions for Generative AI features, w

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my progress with my affiliate sites. I've been running an affiliate site called Jimmy's Pokemon Deal Finder for the last couple of years. It finds deals on Pokemon cards on eBay by comparing listing price to valuation. It's at the point now where it brings in about £100 of profit a month with some months being a lot more. I'm really happy with hows it's turned out and the extra incom

I’m a 24M currently working as a social media specialist. I started this job back in January making $60k a year, so I’ve been here for about 8 months now. When I first got hired, our output was pretty reasonable at one piece of content per day across four channels. Since then, we’ve ramped all the way up to three pieces of content per day across those same four channels, so hitting roughly 90 assets a month has been

My wife has wanted to create content for almost 8- 10 years. We met 6 years ago, and even back then she would talk about wanting to start an Instagram page. But she kept second-guessing herself and never really went for it. Which has always been crazy to me, because anyone who has met her even once would probably wonder why she ever doubted herself. She is genuinely one of the bubbliest people I know. She talks to ev

Google confirmed the goto rollout on Aug 26 — result links now pass through google.com/goto with an encoded destination. Nozzle's numbers: resolving all links for a single five-page ranking takes somewhere between 500 and 1,000 requests, because the encoded URLs can't be decoded locally and HEAD requests are blocked, so you're doing full GETs that follow every redirect. That's on top of num=100 going away last year,

Do open rates still have any bearing on your reports lately? Our email tracking (part of our ESP, not a separate tool) still shows opens holding steady over the months, but with declining conversions and click-throughs. I find that weird, because flat opens would mean clicks should head in the same direction, right? Just wondering if you're presenting open rates as is in your reports or make some adjustments.

Hey PPC Heads, TL;DR: Looking for people who've migrated from tCPA to tROAS/VBB and oversee large budgets — did you follow Google's playbook or go rogue, and what actually worked? One campaign is well below the conv value/cost we need and I have to get it up. Sister campaigns on tCPA are performing far better, and this campaign was too before we switched it to Max Conv Value. My goal is to migrate over the entire acc

Found this in a client account today. Google's AI wrote the description, then Google disapproved it for having a phone number in the ad text. So Google broke Google's rule and then caught Google doing it. 😂 AI Max ad customization, if anyone's wondering how this happens. Two of them, both just sitting there not serving.

Hi everyone! I’m currently taking HubSpot’s Digital Marketing course and I’m particularly interested in getting better at email marketing. I’ve been learning the basics of email campaigns, segmentation, automation, and analytics, but I’d really like to develop more practical, hands-on skills. For those working in email marketing or digital marketing, what would you recommend I focus on next? Are there any tools, free

I've been running a tracking system on US TikTok Shop for a while. 1.2M listings, kept fresh on a 7-day window, so I can see what changes week to week: which products gain, which fade, and what prices do. The market is a textbook power law: \- The median product sells 4 units. \- The mean is about 750. \- Thirty percent of listings never sell once. \- The top 1.2k products all moved 100k+ units. Picking a winner real

I have about 67k followers in the wellness niche and I've worked with like 40 brands on tiktok shop over the last year and about 7 months ago I started tracking which ones actually made me money through commission and deals. Out of 40 brands only 8 made me enough commission to justify the time, the other 32 were just me doing free ads for products that either didn't get attention or had commission rates so low that a

I posted a video on TikTok that got 135k and did amazing with engagement. I posted it to instagram at the same time and was doing pretty well. Then all of a sudden instagram decided to stop testing with US users and hardcore broadcast it India. I’m talking like 45k and 60% and Indian. It sucks because I’m in home design and I wanted to grow to start a business. I can’t really travel to India and design homes over the

I’m taking on 5 coaches, for a completely free 14-day content sprint. I’ll handle the strategy, ideas, scripts and editing no contract or payment involved.

I've been trying to understand how AI search engines decide what to recommend when someone looks up a product. I sell a pretty specific product and I've been pretty anxious over whether I'm set up for it. I started searching my own category the way a customer would. Just plain questions not optimized keywords. Some of the sites that keep coming up have way less brand presence than mine but something about them is mak

I know there's no shortcut, but what do I actually need to learn? How are you getting real views on platforms like insta, fb, linkedin, x, etc? Is it SEO? AEO? GEO?, or something else? I tried watching YouTube videos and asking AI, but nothing made sense. I know things like hooks and good storytelling matter, but how do you come up with those ideas in the first place? How do you know if an idea is actually good befor

Hey, I recently started expanding my business to sell through Shopify, I've just been testing the water a bit and only got about 10 orders so far but today I got a really large 3000$ order. The weird thing is, the user bought a lot of the same type of product multiple times (5-10 products of the same type) for a product that you typically would not buy multiple of. Shopify marked the order as low risk but I can't hel

I work in the e-pharma space and manage SEO for around three websites, two of which are major revenue drivers for the business. Historically, every major Google update has been pretty positive for us. Our websites have performed well during updates, and in most cases, we’ve actually seen further growth afterward so we’ve been quite confident in the SEO strategy and foundation we’ve built. But this time, something une

I’m considering launching a product on JVZoo and building an affiliate team, but I’m wondering how effective affiliate recruitment is these days. For those who are currently selling on JVZoo: Is it still possible to recruit active affiliates? What are the best ways to find affiliates who actually promote products? Are affiliates still generating consistent sales in 2026? What commission rates and incentives work best

I’ve been posting consistently for a while and getting some views, likes and the occasional comment, but getting people to actually hit follow feels ridiculously slow. I’ve tried posting more Reels, experimenting with different types of content, being active in my niche and replying to comments. Some posts do better than others, but the follower count barely seems to move. I’m not expecting thousands of followers ove

We tend to treat abandoned carts as lost sales. But I'm starting to wonder how many of them were ever real sales to begin with. Someone might add to cart to check shipping, compare the final price, save something for later, or just because they're considering it. So if your store has a 70% cart abandonment rate, maybe trying to "fix" all 70% is the wrong way to think about it. Has anyone found a good way to separate

We're looking at using popular Hollywood memes among others in our reddit ads. Anyone done this and know if it's kosher? Or does Reddit take it down immediately?

Trying to get a sense of what's actually live for people past the welcome sequence every ESP hands you as a default template. win-back, post-purchase, abandoned cart, some re-engagement flow, or something specific to your business that doesn't fit a normal category? also curious what you built and then killed because it didn't perform, half the time that's the more interesting story than what's still running.

I have about 43K followers in the beauty niche so I get like 15 to 20 brand messages a week but I reply to maybe 3 or 4 and rest just sit there on read because almost all of you are sending the exact same message with the same template.

Two years into importing now and I still think about how much time I burned at the start. Everything went through directory sites and cold emails. Half the people never replied the ones who did sent me quotes that made no sense and I lost a deposit once to a company that turned out to be a trading outfit pretending to be a factory. Not a huge amount but enough to sting for a while. Someone mentioned offhand in a grou

I’m starting from zero and want to learn email marketing properly, including copywriting, list building, design, automation, segmentation, deliverability, and analytics. Which platform/course would you recommend for a beginner, and what learning path would you follow if you were starting today?

Transactional emails keep landing in spam even though the usual email authentication is set up correctly. I traced it to a shared ip with a poor reputation, has anyone fixed this by switching to a dedicated ip?

I’m not entirely sure how to explain my situation, so I’m hoping someone with experience in Google Ads or affiliate marketing can give me some honest advice. I recently discovered platforms like ClickBank and Digistore, where you can promote products as an affiliate.

As an eternal skeptic, I'm not sure if it's down to all the SEO work we've been doing or if it's down to Shopify's efforts to improve product discovery on Shop in time for Q4... (or indeed, a mixture of both) As August's reports are in, has anyone seen higher conversions from Shop this month?

Six months ago I came on Reddit and made a really negative post about Instagram. I was frustrated and wanting to give up. Some comments were supportive, others were more critical of my content. Just wanted to say, since then I've gained almost 30,000 followers on Instagram. I still get videos in the 3,000 views mark, but I also had videos hit 600,000 views. Here are my tips for surviving the algorithm: 1. Repeat cont

Hey everyone, need some outside opinions on a case that is driving me nuts. Customer reached out asking strait forward for a full refund, saying they never received their order. They even included the tracking link and claimed the carrier marked it as “returned to sender" so they had anything to return and wanted the refund. Problem is… that’s just NOT true. Tracking clearly shows delivered, on time, to the exact add

Hey all, just wondering if anyone else has had any issues with the Klaviyo AI / MCP stuff? I've got a client who has just started using the AI assistant and has found it really frustrating.

Sometimes they've been really impressed with how it can create a complex segment, but then other times it will leave off really important elements. So,

Is there something we missed in our affiliate marketing game? How much traffic really matters? Are there blogs that really do well with affiliate marketing with 10,000 Visitors per month? Is there a principle guiding that output and modus operandi. No matter how many videos we watch on youtube about this, there's something a blog owner who has cracked it can tell us that no video will. Is there anyone in this group w

Hello, I’ve been trapped at 800 instagram followers for years. I don’t remember when I made it into the 800 range but I was stuck at 700 for at least 8-9 years for sure. I rarely get 100 likes on a feed post. I think maybe 1 feed post has ever hit that threshold. I’m from a city of around 100,000 people.

Imagine if we sniffed the User-agent string for any of the AI bots, if we 302 redirect them to some paywall where they must pay-per-crawl. A sort of endpoint with payment options.

But since then they have done a full 180. Instead of pa

My manager recently created a post to promote some rules and info about a certain deal. She prompted it via chatGPT. I normally make the posts myself.

I’m absolutely gutted. I thought I did everything. Good hook, using video in

If you look at your insights dashboard this week, you’re probably going to see a massive shift in your data. Instagram’s head, Adam Mosseri, just made it official: the platform's analytics are now entirely focused on one single metric Views. If you run a business account or manage socials, you need to adjust how you measure success immediately. Instagram has officially ditched all the confusing, separate metrics for

For my new website, I did keyword research and found high volume, low competition keywords. I noted 20 keywords related to my business. I want to start making pages based on these keywords, but how? Should I mention the exact keyword as the H1 tag? Is this how actually create SEO keyword based content? Or should i mention multiple times about it on the page?

For the longest time I looked at views and likes and learned nothing useful. Then I started only looking at the retention curve on each reel, the little graph that shows where people drop. Three patterns kept showing up. A cliff in the first two seconds means my hook was a slow throat-clear intro, every time. A slow steady slide means the middle dragged and I needed to cut words. A bump near the end means people rewa

​ My account was general fitness for two years, stuck between 2k and 3k, posting the same squat and chicken breast stuff as everyone. I hated it. In January I decided to only talk about knee pain and rehab for people who used to run, because that was my own boring injury.

Client sells furniture. Everything in the PMax campaigns sits between £500 and £800, so not much value variance. Pulled the cost prices this week and found something odd. Their £599 bed makes £190 profit. Their £799 bed makes £190 profit. Across the whole product set, price varies 1.6x but profit per order varies about the same, and the ranking is basically scrambled. The second cheapest product is the most profitabl

I’m seeing this with a healthcare practice account and wondering how other PPC people handle it. Google Ads says the lead volume is fine. Call tracking says calls are coming in. Forms are submitted. But the practice says “these leads are bad,” and when we dig in, some of it is real lead quality and some of it is front-desk process. Missed calls, slow callbacks, unclear insurance fit, after-hours inquiries going cold.

Not a simple thank you, but a more complex one. I had the idea of sending emails out to my regular customers on occasion thanking them and asking them to fill out a survey. But somehow that seems creepy. Would a physical letter be appropriate, included in their package?

Google Search has confirmed it is now pushing searchers into AI Mode from the AI Overview by default, without having to click the "Show more" button.

​ I see how people are obsessed with finding the best affiliate programs, networks and affiliate marketing tools....and yes, those things matter. But honestly, I don't think that's where most beginners are stuck I think the bigger problem is figuring out how to actually make that first sale and then stay consistent after it.

Everybody was telling how awesome Claude is doing with ppc. Not just online people, guys around me couldn’t stop talking about it too. I had claude analyze existing campaigns. He wouldn’t stop talking shit about them. He convinced me how it can be better by doing bla bl

I manage affiliates for a tax software company, and one thing I learned pretty quickly is that generic affiliate platforms struggle with tax. We do basically a year's worth of business in 3-4 months, so we need accurate attribution, fraud prevention, compliance controls, and support for multi-step conversions. A lot of platforms are fine for straightforward ecommerce, but tax has way more moving parts. When we were e

Nobody wanted to hear this but the app reads your caption as text now, and your on-screen words, and even your audio. It uses those to figure out what your reel is about and who to show it to. I used to write vague captions like a poem, one moody line. Useless. I switched to putting the plain topic in the first sentence, the words a person would actually search or say out loud. A reel about hard water and hair, I lit

Complete beginner here. I’ve read that it is best practice to segment your email list and send personalised emails. How did you choose the segments? Do you segment people immediately they join the list? Or based on their past behaviour? The more I think about this, the more confused I get because: * If you segment immediately, you’d have to ask for a lot of information on the form no? * Or if do it later then you’d h

We run search and social for a multi location retail client. They want billboards in their top three markets and asked how we'll prove it worked. Outdoor doesn't give a clean conversion number and I'd rather bring a real plan than hand wave at impressions. How are people measuring this, and does anything handle the buying and the measurement together?

Most of my clients are seeing this right now, and it’s been a little concerning. What worked in 2021-2025 isn’t working now and sales and organic traffic are suffering. Is it the economy talking?

This is not scalable and I do not care. Last month a reel of mine did okay, about 12k views, and instead of just heart-reacting comments like usual I opened the DMs and sent a short real reply to the first 40 commenters. Not a pitch, just a sentence about the thing they said. Took me maybe an hour on the couch. Nineteen of them replied, a bunch followed the next day, and four have messaged me since about totally unre

Please, learn from my mistake of being an idiot, so you don’t fall into this. I purchased 5 highly reliable business managers from a guy in a telegram group the previous month. I paid the amount, spent a week to link everything, and the whole process. And just after 3 days in, he revoked my admin access and ghosted me and eventually blocked me. Now, they are all gone, the accounts, the funds that I paid them, infact

For the last 2 years I’ve been saving up 70k (probably excessive but oh well) and I wanted to know if it’s still worth it in 2026 to get into it? And if so what’s the best way so that I can be efficient with my money and not lose it all?

I’ve been in retail, management and sales for twenty years storefront. Ecom is definitely different in ways and I started by business in January yet there’s no consistency lol. I understand as a newer store it doesn’t just automatically happen, it takes time. But, I’m trying to figure out the sales patterns and it’s so much different. It’s like the mid of the month is dead then all of a sudden the last week I get bus

I'm looking for insight from the political agencies and campaign managers.Gmail’s new Verified Sender Program for political campaigns has definitely caught my attention. But I’m curious about something from the people who were actually in the trenches back in 2022. Google rolled out its political email pilot that year with the promise of giving verified campaigns a better shot at reaching the inbox instead of automat
