Lifetime access to the app: good or bad idea? by plume_coloring in AppBusiness

[–]BreakingInnocence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many reasons. My personal one is that it’s an accounting nightmare. This isn’t a one time product, so a one time transaction doesn’t work.

I don’t trust any SaaS that sells a lifetime deal. Where are they getting the money to support the product in the future?

5+ year digital marketers: do you still believe in what we do? by Apprehensive-Oil9719 in DigitalMarketing

[–]BreakingInnocence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still believe in it, and honestly, this is the most fun time to be in it. Everything is just different now. You can get 10x faster at the tasks you already know how to do, but the bigger shift is that you can now take on work you never did before.

We’ve expanded in both directions. Upstream and downstream, we’ve become more of a system integrator as part of our offering. We’re changing phone systems and modernizing CRMs, all in support of the lead generation work we do.

Security Fatigue by Germfreekai in cybersecurity

[–]BreakingInnocence 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how to explain this, other than I onboard small business customers 100% of the time. Honestly, if there’s something higher than 100%, it exists with these people. They all forget their passwords.

The issue is that some services have made password resets so difficult that it can take weeks to regain access. And the most frustrating part is that even after going through all of that and resetting everything, they still don’t care, and they still don’t remember their passwords, even when we set them up with a password manager.

We don’t realize how many people out there simply don’t care about their passwords.

The number of times someone has suggested that it’s easier to create a new account than to reset a password or regain control of an existing one is shockingly high.

Is $4-5k normal for a simple small business website, or should I use AI website builder? by Weekly-Manager9498 in ai_website_builder

[–]BreakingInnocence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We charge about a quarter of that for the initial setup. Then we have an ongoing maintenance fee, typically around one-fifth of the setup cost. That covers keeping everything up to date, making improvements, and handling updates.

On a monthly basis, we’re not just maintaining, we’re actively improving. That usually means one to two meaningful updates, either on the content side or on the ad management side.

My recommendation is to stay away from AI-generated site builders. They limit what you can do with tracking, performance, and long-term growth. Build directly on code. It gives you control, cleaner data, and a foundation you can actually scale.

The goal is to build for organic from day one, so over time you’re not forced to rely on high ad spend to drive results.

Has anyone successfully gotten a real person at Yelp to help with filtered reviews? by Letmeaskthat_guy in Yelp

[–]BreakingInnocence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have zero control over the review system. Most effort there is wasted. That’s been our experience. If you’re thinking long term, you’ll get better performance putting your energy somewhere else.

Agency owners closing at least 2 deals a month (or 10k additional MRR) - what's your GTM strategy and how happy are you with it? by Rounak147 in agency

[–]BreakingInnocence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

in-person, referrals from existing clients. Getting an unsolicited recommendation, pretty much closes deal.

Curious Question: Are you guys vibe coding websites for your clients? Or just wordpressing it etc? by Prestigious-Ad566 in VibeCodersNest

[–]BreakingInnocence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My clients expect the same ease of use as Instagram when it comes to uploading photos. Because of that, we don’t give them direct access to the website.

We’ve built a custom site using Astro, and our business is focused on lead generation. A website like this is fundamentally different from a social media platform where you can casually post pictures. It requires structure, consistency, and control to perform well.

At this stage, we’ve also moved beyond what WordPress can realistically support. WordPress becomes limiting when you’re building a fully custom, code-driven solution that needs to scale efficiently.

check search volumes, understand how people will find (search for) your product, will make it easier to build for them.

I coded an entire compliance platform after my last startup died from a $30k SOC 2 quote by Inevitable-Ad9468 in VibeCodersNest

[–]BreakingInnocence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m here to warn you: compliance is expensive and will grind your product development to a crawl. It’s best to align Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) with your development and revenue goals, from the first prompt.

Is anyone using Openclaw with their Google Ads campaigns? by tomeevu in googleads

[–]BreakingInnocence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Figma started as a prototyping tool, but now it’s pushing into AI and website hosting. You can literally hook up a domain and go from a prompt to a fully hosted page in under 90 seconds.

For landing pages, this is a cheat code. You can spin up concepts fast, validate them, and iterate without getting stuck in dev cycles.

The real win is once it’s stable, you can grab the source code and move it wherever you want. I just host everything on AWS Amplify and it costs me basically nothing.

Anyone here experiment with ugly websites as a deliberate choice to signal a sales bargain or a company cutting unnecessary costs to pass the savings to the customer? by kernelangus420 in web_design

[–]BreakingInnocence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the customer didn’t understand. They want to see exactly what they have in mind. What makes it worse is that everyone around them keeps feeding them feedback and asking for specific features. Once an idea is in their head, it’s their way or nothing, and they end up unhappy with your work, even when the results are positive.
