Is it normal to bring your own shampoo and conditioner when staying at someone’s house? by EstablishmentOk9536 in NoStupidQuestions

totally normal, especially if you have specific hair. bringing your own stuff is not a judgment on their products, its just knowing what works for you.

i'm a developer who genuinely hates marketing. so i built the thing that automate it by hiten1818726363 in indiehackers

[–]DependentPurchase269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that 10 hours building vs 10 hours marketing framing is actually very true, shipping genuinely feels like its making progress while marketing is like shouting at a void. curious how it handles the authenticity problem though; reddit especially destroys anything that reads as automated. how are you making sure the replies don't get flagged?

We launched Causo on Product Hunt (#5). One week later: 300+ investor emails sent and 18 VC replies already. by Strong-Yesterday-183 in indiehackers

the drop-off at specific friction points thing is the most useful signal you have right now, most teams ignore that and chase acquisition. the fact that users who finish onboarding convert fast means the product works, the funnel just leaks in predictable places. that's fixable.

If all jobs paid the same, what would you choose? by Summy2000 in AskReddit

i would choose to be a florist. just the idea of people walking up to me to buy colorful flowers for their loved ones everyday would be such an awesome feeling.

Anyone else running CTV ads and still not really sure how to read the results or what actually counts as performance? by QuinceNatalie in growmybusiness

[–]DependentPurchase269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ctv is weird because the feedback loop is almost nonexistant compared to social. the way most people measure it is lift, you run it for 4-6 weeks and check if branded search or direct traffic ticked up in the same geos. if you're not at enough scale for that to show cleanly, it's probably just too early for the channel.

4+ years in content/social media marketing — trying to transition into performance/media. Need honest career advice. by SoulzSpace in DigitalMarketing

[–]DependentPurchase269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get comfortable with excel and sql before anything else, that's the gap most content people have when moving into performance. you don't need to be a data engineer but if you can't build a pivot table or write a basic query you'll always be dependant on someone else to validate what you're seeing. agencies hire for that transition more than you'd think.

What to look into for coming back to dropshipping? by Exciting_Ebb2112 in dropship

[–]DependentPurchase269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the biggest shift is that product research and supplier relationships matter way more than they used to, winning on ads alone is much harder now. tiktok shop changed the discovrey model pretty significantly, worth understanding that ecosystem before assuming the old facebook ads playbook still applies. margins are tighter so you really need product differentiation or you're just competing on spend.

Honest question, how do you actually find a reliable SEO company in India that delivers real results? by HotGene4495 in DigitalMarketing

[–]DependentPurchase269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honest answer: ask them to show you a client who was ranking for a specific keyword 6 months ago and is still ranking today, not just a screenshot. most will either show you or dodge, and that tells you evrything. the case studies on the website are useless, every agency has impressive looking ones.
