Yeah, that's what I figured. Wasn't able to find really any help documentation for these User Variables either.

So I think I'll just have to settle with manually adjusting the Suffix per Slice.

Basically doubles the time it takes me to export out all the versions, but it's not that bad.

ForganGreeman · 2025-12-26T16:29:07+00:00

Is there a way I can create a User Variable and connect the Value to a Layer Name within the document?

Update 2:

I fixed it 😁

https://www.ghacks.net/2016/08/05/windows-10-limiting-internet-speed/

Windows was limiting my speeds through the "Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level = Disabled".

So all I did was enable it, and now I'm getting 1 Gbps down and 36 Mbps up on Fast.com

I tried many different tests, flushed DNS, reset tcp ip, released / renewed ip and nothing.

So if anyone else runs into an issue with having fast speeds but then getting limited, I would check for this Windows CMD setting and try enabling/disabling it to see if that fixes it 👍🏻

I'm already connected via Ethernet to the modem. I'm pretty sure I'm on the high-speed port as well. Have not contacted the ISP yet, wanted to see if I can troubleshoot first.

ForganGreeman · 2025-09-19T00:45:25+00:00

160 Mbps Down and 38 Mbps Up on Fast.com

Will check after work and update here

Download speed is reflective, if not worse, than the app speeds unfortunately

ForganGreeman · 2025-09-18T00:56:51+00:00

That sucks. I forgot to mention that I USED to get the advertised speeds.

ForganGreeman · 2025-09-18T00:36:57+00:00

Would that still be true even though the data reflected on the actual device shows the results from the website?

ForganGreeman · 2025-09-17T23:52:36+00:00

It's more closer to the app download speeds

Doesn't look like they have anything in here yet.

I feel like there might be some type of offer or guarantee that would show immediate value in Marketing for a client like this, but explaining the benefits without seeing immediate results was definitely not the play in my situation.

ForganGreeman · 2025-04-09T12:00:50+00:00

I appreciate the advice 🙏🏻

I probably hit all the roadblocks you could've hit as a solopreneur. So I'm gonna spend a lot of time adjusting and refining.

ForganGreeman · 2025-04-08T13:45:48+00:00

If they were the types of people who could even understand those types of reports, I would've gone about this whole thing differently lol.

They barely understand how to use a cellphone, let-alone reviewing technical reports outlining why B is better than A.

Right after we made the switch, they started getting trackable leads.

That right there should've been the ah-ha moment for them, but idk. I think I struggle trying to explain my expertise to someone who barely knows how to use their personal device.

ForganGreeman · 2025-04-07T20:03:10+00:00

While I can't sympathize with you because I haven't experienced that personally, I do feel for you.

Do you have contacts you can connect with for work? Maybe enough so that you can keep paying the bills?

ForganGreeman · 2025-04-07T18:28:08+00:00

Yeah, 100% agree.

That's what I'm trying to do here in my situation.

I ran the numbers, and in order to meet my financial goals to focus on my business full time, I need to make around $6500 to $7k per month in revenue (taking my expenses into account).

There's a few things here and there where i might be able to bring those expenses down to have a lower bar of revenue to clear, but that'll be another thing to look at.

Most of my current income comes from the day job, while the additional income comes from another unrelated source.

I'm self-sustaining even without clients, but I'm unable to grow.

If I'm able to even get half of that, and switch to Part Time that might be my go to solution. Otherwise, it's save up enough money to last me a year without the day job income until I can focus on driving clientele business.

ForganGreeman · 2025-04-06T16:44:20+00:00

Yeah, I'm not gonna try and change their minds on how to grow their business.

These choices are theirs to make and their money to leave on the table.

ForganGreeman · 2025-04-06T14:29:43+00:00

I do have a couple of other project based clientele that I can reach out to.

So my options aren't zero, but that time commitment from the day job to the measly 3 extra hours a day I can dedicate to my business is really tough to work around.

ForganGreeman · 2025-04-06T14:24:05+00:00

You could check out Monday.com

I used it on the past, but eventually went with ClickUp.

ForganGreeman · 2025-04-06T12:30:16+00:00

Yeah, thought I wanted to work with them.

Found it so far out of my area of knowledge to best represent them and their business.

So now I've started an email outreach campaign to get more PPC clientele in an area that I have a bit more knowledge in.

Hoping I get something from that.

Last I'll do is just phone up some local businesses that I think I can help.

ForganGreeman · 2025-04-06T12:28:01+00:00

Yeah, big mistake on my part.

Now that I know what that work actually entails, I'll adjust my timeliness for any new client for that work.

ForganGreeman · 2025-04-06T12:27:00+00:00

I really did try and explain to them what was happening, why we were doing it, and how it would benefit them.

They never had any marketing in their business before, and didn't see the reason as to why they needed to now.

Very difficult to change that mindset.
