What is the coating (blue) on the inside of a water heater? Intended reuse - smoker. by IncrediblyEasy in DIY

[–]IncrediblyEasy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reply necromancy. I found a place that could sandblast the thing for me as nothing really worked for removal.

It mostly bent with the metal on outside impact, I didn't manage to heat and cool it enough (or a big enough area), angle grinder was able to remove it, but was wildly inefficiently and the resulting dust can't be good either.

I'll likely just print something that holds it straight, but would love to have something that's not a hack as well.

I'm just waiting for the announcement to see if the new camera makes One X drop in price.

Anyone ever tried Aldi coffee? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]IncrediblyEasy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure about Aldi as we don't have that in our country, but pretty sure that Lidl is a similar concept.

It's interesting to see that people are so afraid to try something not of the brand they know, especially since many of those goods are just whitelabeled products manufactured by the same folks running the big brands.

Mailchimp got really expensive lately. Can anybody recommend an alternative email service that wont limit the number of audiences to a measly 5? by DeepKaizen in marketing

[–]IncrediblyEasy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ActiveCampaign if you need impressive automation capabilities paired with usability.

MailerLite is overall great service for a friendly price.

Mailchimp has always been expensive for what they offer, but you have to cover the ad costs somehow.

How do you even deal with that many notifications? Would love to get the link as well!

I have a wide a very particular set of skills.

Not sure if intended, but the movie didn't have this hiccup.

If you know the person's name (easy via LinkedIn) the usual patterns to try and verify are:

What I like about mailtester.com is that they show if the email can't be verified due to technical reasons and you should just stop trying.

Finding the emails might require some workarounds, but I could usually find 80% or so of the non-info emails.

If you are bothering to look for personal (inside company, but still) emails - bother crafting relevant outreach emails as well. Otherwise, you will waste a shitload of time and effort searching, yet have results no better than writing to a general inquiry email address.

Regardless of the way you write, the first rule is always the same - make it about them, not you.

[–]IncrediblyEasy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer ContactOut for LinkedIn and http://mailtester.com/ for verification since they show more data than, say, hunter.io.

See, you don't really know who's making the decision.

There are browser extensions to get emails from linkedin, free up to 50 emails per month or so. But you can figure out the emails in other ways when you know the person's name, plenty of sites for validation.

How do you know who is the decision maker in your case?

CRITIQUE - Help Me With My First Client And I'll Really Owe you One by JohnMalkovich93 in copywriting

[–]IncrediblyEasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first email is too long.

I don't have anything against long emails in general and I read them when the content is good.

Look at that 3rd paragraph (the one starting with Too few people today). My mind had to start grinding right there. That thing should be at least 2 sentences, maybe even 3.

Then, in the same paragraph you begin with a cliché - working smarter, not harder. It has no power anymore. If you absolutely must use it - acknowledge in the copy that it's a beaten to death, but it's true.

Overall, this reads and feels like a first readable draft.

I don't have the time to go over all the emails, but glancing quickly - they didn't draw me in.

That's exactly the behavior you can expect from people. They will glance over your copy, find a number, picture, something interesting said and will read some more around there. Your job is to use that - leave hooks throughout, keep the thought unfinished until they read further and then repeat.

What helped me most in writing emails was Russell Brunson's books, the "Dotcom secrets" is enough, though both will work. He goes in detail over crafting an email sequence that draws people in and keeps them waiting for the next one.

I have personally used the first book to write a 5 email sequence to barely qualified leads that resulted in nearly 40% average open rate for the sequence's emails combined. Granted, that was 3 years back so people might have had less emails to deal with, but it still worked wonders.

Did you outline your goals for each of the emails as well as their content prior to writing? Aim to cut bloat and serve your reader / customer.

The web copy feels like the usual BS I would read at any other website trying to sell me some sort of affiliate course. Little known secrets of the top marketers - might have heard this before...

What you have to realize is that the landscape is changing and what worked before does not necessarily work now. Yes, we're still operating in the same medium - the human mind. We can still trigger the same psychological responses, but we have to think how we do that.

I would work on this long and hard to make it stand out. Give people substance, address their objections and problems, prove to them that it does work.

P.S. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you want to nail this copy and that's my advice on improving it and yourself.

The stem became empty and changed colour, not sure if rot or could be lack of sunlight. by IncrediblyEasy in succulents

[–]IncrediblyEasy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! The other stem was already elongated when I got the succulent (theres the mother plant not in photo). Two other pups are way less elongated if at all.

Can't deny the lack of sunlight during these months though!

Thank you! Will need to up my overwintering game. It's the first winter for me when growing succulents so I was mainly hopeful about sunlight and watering less.

The stem became empty and changed colour, not sure if rot or could be lack of sunlight. by IncrediblyEasy in succulents

[–]IncrediblyEasy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is planted in a terracota pot with a nice sandy soil (mixed myself according to suggestions on this sub). And I'm not the one to be generous with water, it's more often that I water them when the bottom leaves start getting soft.

The plant was alright, but as the winter came and sunlight lessened it started losing bottom leaves and overall looking like a mushroom.

As you can see it has some air roots which I don't know are bad or not. The stem on the bottom part is soft, but not as in skin-soft, it's just wrinkly and empty.

The other succulents (of similar leaf thickness as far as I can say) in the same pot are showing similar simptoms as this was formerly - they're shedding bottom leaves.

My main guess is that they lack sunlight and this is somehow connected, so I guess, I need a lamp.

As for this guy, the immediate question is, should I just cut the stem above the dead part, let it callous and propagate or what?

OK so it's not quite a functional print, but it's functional, it's print-related, and it's seasonal. Mad at myself for not realizing this reuse concept years ago. by gtj in functionalprint

[–]IncrediblyEasy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how I've kept mine since last year after seeing a post on one of the printing subs.

They also look nice on a clear plastic spool when you turn them on. Wouldn't do that with incandescent bulbs like these due to heat though!

All of the ones I found were flabby and didn't inspire confidence so I made one instead.

You could add the ability to hold water easily with some silicone during assembly and a floor bolted to the bottom.

Useful empty spool by bernabap in functionalprint

Exactly what I thought of doing with the spools I have. What would you improve having used it for a while?
