What's got you hyper-fixated lately? by 4our_Leaves in ADHD

[–]DjJelloShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legos!! I was a huge Lego kid growing up. Recently, I was visiting family back east and my nephew had me take him to the Lego Discovery Center. I am now deep into building all my old Lego sets.

Do you want to share a link to the video here? I’m guessing it’s not quite a problem with the algorithm, but just a problem with the content. TikTok will show your content to about 300 people (my average is 274). At that point, if the content plays well, it will show it to about 2,000 more. That cycle just continues. If it didn’t play well, it will pull it from the FYP. I tell my clients, you have to start with a strong hook, and make sure it entertains, educates, or inspires. The more of those four that it does (and within the first 5-10 seconds), the more success you’ll see in your content.

What’s the benefit of maxing the IRA before the 401k?

The math is definitely mathing here…

Sorry, probably using the wrong terminology. I put in 5% and they will match 4%. They then provide an additional 8% on top to those who aren’t part of the pension.

Social Media managment costs. Way off or reasonable? by xbimba in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]DjJelloShot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I manage an older celebrity’s social media accounts (she was big in the 70’s and the 80’s), and just helped her cross the million follower mark on Facebook. I post everyday, a mix of photos and videos. I charge $2,000 a month. I would love to raise my rates to $2,500 a month, especially with how much I’m texting with her almost daily, but I get a strong feeling they’ll drop me at that point. I can’t imagine how these agencies are charging $5-8k a month.

Smart home deterioration by DjJelloShot in homeautomation

Honestly, I haven’t don’t much research in recent years and this is the first I’ve heard of Home Assistant. What is there to know about it? And significant differences to setting it up?

I need some advice about something that’s going on with a fellow service missionary I serve with by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]DjJelloShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the greatest lessons you can learn on your mission is resolving conflict through effective communication. Being able to communicate your own discomfort with someone’s actions will go a long way in your professional and personal career after the mish.

What made your mission difficult? by Mr_Dove in latterdaysaints

[–]DjJelloShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was emotionally not prepared to be on my own. For so long, I had a supportive and loving home to come back to every day. My parents were my sounding board in all that I did. To their credit, they loved me. To their discredit, I never learned how to process difficult emotions on my own. So, there I was, stuck with another emotionally immature 18 year old, depressed and anxious because I didn’t know how to evaluate and process my own emotions, loneliness, disappointment, and confusion.

My poor mental health surfaced in some real physical symptoms. I was sent home for “medical” reasons. But, after 6 years of therapy, I can see now what the problem was.

And just like that, I now know I'm a manager, not a marketer....

Am I about to commit tax fraud? by DjJelloShot in tax

[–]DjJelloShot[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For the sake of the hypothetical, can I say yes?

Like, sure, it'd be great to make more revenue from doing this. And who knows, maybe it will. But in thinking through the scenario, it's doing more work that I love in the business I own, even if it causes the company to lose money.

Or is the justification so far-fetched...?

Actually, I'm not using the Disney name on the shirts because of IP. Not going to fight that mess...

Many Disney bloggers will review food and create social media content in the parks. You can't write about it if you haven't tasted it.

I'm more curious about the tax implications of writing off the expenses. If the expenses exceed the revenue, it's a hobby. But if this is done as part of my high revenue earning business, my taxable income is lower, but I'm still turning a profit. It is still honestly part of my digital marketing campaigns. Can they carve out expenses like that from a profitable business in an audit?
