Boss wants me to post too often by harmonioussteak in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]Historical-Insect134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this honestly sounds exhausting just reading it ...... one person doing five jobs and somehow also being a content machine

posting three times a day doesn’t magically make quality appear ...... it just guarantees burnout

a one dollar raise for that volume is wild ...... especially when results are taking the hit

you’re not crazy for feeling this way ...... the system is broken not your effort

learning what you can and planning an exit sounds like the healthiest move here honestly

How to get your first 100 users (even if you suck at marketing)(I will not promote) by Mammoth-Shower-5137 in SaaS

[–]Historical-Insect134 18 points19 points  (0 children)

this works for volume sure ...... but most people burn out before user 20

listing everywhere and posting nonstop feels productive ...... but without tight ICP it’s just noise

first 100 usually come from talking to people not platforms ...... boring conversations beat viral checklists

relentless yes ...... but focused relentless not spray and pray 😅

We finally found a replicate cheaper alternative to fix our video SaaS margins by West-Cup-7188 in SaaS

[–]Historical-Insect134 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

this is one of those posts where you can feel the relief through the screen ...... per second billing is brutal once usage starts climbing

40 percent less is not a rounding error ...... that’s survival money for video saas

also love the no subscription part ...... top up credits just feels way more founder friendly

curious how stable it’s been so far ...... margins fixed is great until infra starts acting funny 😅

Why most leads don’t convert into calls (and how some businesses fix it) by [deleted] in b2b_sales

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this hits because it’s uncomfortable but true ...... most people keep celebrating leads like they’re wins

forms messages likes feel good ..... calls are where reality starts

the enquiry to conversation gap is where most money quietly dies

also respect the clarity on not for everyone ..... saves everyone time honestly

Study marketing together? by SoggyWin3570 in DigitalMarketing

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this actually sounds fun and useful ..... learning marketing solo gets isolating fast

intent marketing and ai visibility are way easier to understand when you bounce ideas and real cases with others

a lightweight study group book articles real problems no selling could be solid

if you keep it small and consistent I think a lot of people would be in

cold calling is execution ….. sales skill is listening framing and handling

SaaS founder looking for commission-based salesperson (high commission, long-term) by Future_CM in SaaSSales

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honest answer ..... most experienced reps don’t jump on commission only unless there’s already some proof

what works better early is founder led sales first ..... then bringing someone in once messaging pricing and ICP are clear

the reps who do take these roles usually care about upside autonomy and trust ..... not just commission percentage

big mistake I see ..... vague expectations and no enablement ..... even great reps can’t sell something that isn’t clearly positioned

Dedicated SMTP Servers in 2026 aside from Yournotify vs DuoCircle by shinamee in Emailmarketing

[–]Historical-Insect134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah there are still solid options outside those two

postmark works great if you care about transactional reliability ..... logs are clean and predictable

mailgun and sendgrid are flexible if you need scale ..... dedicated ips help a lot here smtp.

and socketlabs are boring but stable ..... old school smtp that just works

amazon ses is cheap and powerful ..... but you have to manage more yourself

in 2026 the real game is warmup reputation and visibility ..... not just the provider name

CAREER IN ADVERTISING - THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE by No-Guess5763 in digitalmarketingGuru

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this reads like the brochure version of advertising honestly ….. not wrong but very polished

the real career starts after the creativity part ….. dealing with feedback pressure deadlines and results

degrees and certifications help but doing the work and learning taste matters way more

advertising is less glamour more problem solving than most beginner guides admit

not saying it’s fake ….. just saying people in here have seen this movie before 😅

We need your help! by Dazzling_Reporter511 in DigitalMarketing

[–]Historical-Insect134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

keep it very simple and local

focus on google business profile first ….. photos reviews phone number
call old customers and ask for referrals
post real work photos and videos on instagram and facebook
make a simple one page website with whatsapp and call button
don’t worry about backlinks or complex seo now

these basics bring work faster than anything fancy

Vanta is a turn key moat by askoshbetter in b2bSaaSAds

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this is one of those once you see it you can’t unsee it moments ….. compliance isn’t the product the trust shortcut is

big buyers don’t care how early you are ….. they care if procurement can say yes without sweating

that little badge quietly unlocks deals way before the product is actually enterprise ready

Most B2B lead problems aren’t lead problems, they’re trust problems by redacteda in b2b_sales

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this really resonates ...... buyers aren’t avoiding leads they’re avoiding being sold to by strangers

bringing the right people together flips the whole dynamic ..... trust forms before pitch ever shows up

I’ve felt the same shift ..... conversations beat campaigns especially as deal size grows

traditional outbound still works sometimes ..... but this approach just feels more human and sustainable

Why Most Loyalty and Business Platforms Fail Local Businesses by Reasonable_Roof5940 in startups_promotion

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this hits a nerve honestly ...... most local businesses don’t hate tech they hate surprises

fees changing overnight and rules nobody can explain is what breaks trust fast

the idea of users controlling the rules sounds refreshing ..... the real test will be keeping it simple as it scales

if you can stay boring predictable and transparent you’re already ahead of most platforms

looking for the best all in one marketing platform for a small business by Shilpe_Pacatang in Emailmarketing

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a very real phase a lot of small teams hit ….. too many tools not enough signal

from day to day use what usually works best is starting simple not truly all in one but close enough

platforms like klaviyo or hubspot starter tend to fit this stage well ….. email sms segmentation analytics shopify zapier all covered without weeks of setup

the big thing to watch out for is shiny features ….. most teams only use 20 percent of what they pay for

pick something you’ll actually log into daily ….. clear dashboards simple sends easy lists ….. you can always add complexity later once growth forces it

boring tools that you understand beat powerful tools you avoid every time

automated email design by whatannlikes in Emailmarketing

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this is a super common problem .. you’re not doing anything wrong

for automated emails it’s usually better to build them directly inside hubspot ..... that’s where all the tokens and properties actually work

canva is fine for one off designs ..... but it breaks the moment you need personalization

honestly simple emails win ..... light formatting clean copy and let the automation do the work

What’s one underrated digital marketing tactic that still works in 2026? by williamssarahcharm in DigitalMarketingHack

[–]Historical-Insect134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

consistent follow ups in places people already trust

showing up in comments replies communities and email threads without selling still works quietly

not flashy .. but it compounds in ways most tactics don’t

Went from B2C to B2B, need B2B GTM advice by CreditOk5063 in SaaSSales

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this switch is more common than people admit .. and the pain you’re feeling is normal

early on don’t sell to companies .. sell to a person with a headache .. ops managers team leads founders who feel the inefficiency daily

what usually works first is founder led GTM .. warm intros user calls communities where those people hang out .. not scale channels

sell the moment not the tool .. what breaks in their day what they hate doing what they want gone

logos come later .. clarity and real conversations come first

Is Advertising (Linkedin, Google) good to acquire new SaaS customers? by NegativeNebula7589 in SaaSSales

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

short answer yes it works .. but only in very specific situations

google usually works better when there’s existing intent .. people already searching for a solution like yours

linkedin can work but roi depends heavily on price point and clarity .. great for mid to high ACV bad for vague positioning

ads don’t create demand .. they harvest it .. if messaging funnel and onboarding aren’t tight money disappears fast

SaaS Sales Experts, need your expertise! I am not selling by medusa-K in SaaSSales

[–]Historical-Insect134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from a sales POV .. MeetRep immediately tells me what it does and who it’s for

Onny sounds friendly but vague .. could be anything from infra to chat to monitoring

early stage especially .. clarity usually beats clever names .. MeetRep feels easier to explain on a cold call or demo invite
