Farming my way into the fastlane
GOLD! HOT! SPEEDWAY@MJ DeMarco or @Andy Black I have stayed in touch with Aura, and I have good news! :clap:: She is back in a situation that allows her to come back to the forum. She asked me to request that you restore her ability to access the account. Would you please enable her again so that she can come...- Bekit

It’s been a while since I beat up on freelancing… Where are you today?
ASSERTION SIDE HUSTLEFreelance copywriting was a source of burnout for me. I stopped in 2022 and have been working as a customer service manager at an internet service provider ever since. My "corporate job" is WAY better for my mental health and my work-life balance than copywriting was. I took a pay cut when I...- Bekit

How do you decide what to work on on a day-to-day basis?
MINDSETSounds like burnout to me, due to working in a toxic environment. People above you are calling the shots and running with their bad ideas and expecting you to do things that don't make sense. You're under a lot of stress and you've gotten acclimated to a daily workplace environment that is...- Bekit

Do You Think Anti-AI Apps Are A Value Skew?
CHATI think an Anti-AI app is totally a value skew. Just today, Gmail informed me that Gemini is now turned on. I'm seemingly not able to opt out. I don't want the content of all my business emails and Google Drive files being ingested into your LLM, thanks. Same thing with Asana. All our tasks...- Bekit

"If only he said THIS he would have closed the sale. But he didn't." aka What NOT to do during a sales pitch.
MARKETINGOne time in 2014, I drove to a store with the express purpose of buying a particular item. I talked with the sales lady and told her I was interested in that item. I asked her for the price. She told me. I knew it would be somewhere in that ballpark, but still, it was kind of a big purchase...- Bekit

I am a Completely Desperated Idiot, Hear my story and laugh (I bet you will)
RANT INTROWelcome Michael. Muito bom. I enjoyed your intro and I'm glad you're here. My first thought is that this is a matter of boundaries. People will keep helping themselves to your time, money, expertise, talents, and skills as long as you let them. Would you just let people reach into your...- Bekit

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHATYeah, this is precisely the big NO-NO that put the Diary of a CEO podcast into the crosshairs. Transcript from the BBC video that sparked this discussion in the first place: The tone turns dark and ominous. The audacity that anyone would question THAT! It then switches to a stern-looking...- Bekit

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHATWith all due respect, how does it cross a line for a podcast host to have guests sharing opposite views? I'm confused why this is a problem. If some podcast host had a series of guests who all held opposite religious views, there wouldn't be anything wrong with that. Why is it different with...- Bekit

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHATI think that's brilliant. I think people would do it. I sponsor a child for $38/month through Compassion International, and I have no doubt people would sponsor an animal through this kind of model if something was organized in an app that makes it easy to do that. I think the hard part about...- Bekit

Faceless YouTube Channels, Can it Be Done?
MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA3 Blue 1 Brown is a fantastic faceless channel that talks about complicated mathematics. You'd think that was a tiny niche - but nope, 6.5M subscribers and 500M+ views. (I should say it's "almost" faceless because while the majority of his videos are just voiceovers with math animations on...- Bekit

HOT! CHATI saw this yesterday (but the screenshot of his actual post has now been removed).

How Do I Motivate Café Staff to Ask for Customer Reviews?
Write it on the bottom of the receipt. "Leave a review and enter code ABCXYZ to get a coupon for $1 off your next order." That's cheaper than $5 per review. And it would let you test different amounts to find out the sweet spot for how much you have to offer to get those reviews. Maybe at the...- Bekit
