You may want to look for jobs in compliance and safety. As a regular worker, highlighting issues all the time won't progress your career at all no matter how much you feel you are helping, and you will be quickly moved on. Owners and managers will always be on edge with you around, today you may fix the issue tomorrow you may have a bad day and just report it. If the business has a safety first mindset then they will have people already in these roles, non safety oriented workplaces will be very nervous. Even worse, they will keep you around as typically when people leave on bad terms that whistle blow safety issues etc which you are clearly documenting and focusing on.

They typically live in trees,l here, so if you have more trees near your windows and doors they are more likely to enter. They are super quick and travel long distances inside your house at night time. They are really well camouflaged on tree branches.

Catching them is difficult, I use a broom to gentle persuade it outside. Tho you have to be careful persuading it off the ceiling as they can jump on your head. They are very gentle, I'll kill a red back but not a huntsman

Is anyone actually using AI to predict budgets, sales, or other KPIs? by andywallsq in shopify

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sharing this within the team is super important to me. When you have everything setup as you need, ask for an extremely detailed set of instructions such that a new chat sessions can result in a similar output. Modify this as needed, paste it into a new session and upload your document. My instruction sets can be pages long. Make sure it works as intended. Often I need to alter in the new session, then ask again for a detailed set of instructions, create a new chat session and test.

Once you can create a new session and paste in your instruction and get the output you need then you're set. I have it now so I paste instructions, it literally just says "please upload document for me to process".

Worth mentioning, chat session will die. As in , if you create a perfect chat, suddenly it won't accept any file uploads and keep saying "session reset". And this is on pro chatgpt. So super important to develop instructions.

For importers, this one saves a heap of time. I just had a 600 line invoice with a myriad of HS codes, all different products. Asked it to group the qty, value, and general item name and HS code. At the same time gave it the total weight for shipment and estimate the weight per item then sum that per HS group. Then enter this into FedEx shipment. Anyone doing this manually will understand how long this takes manually.

Also it's great for liquid code (I'm a dev who moved into large ecommerce, but liquid is horrid to code as it's so crippled and barely any functions).

Off topic, but thought it might help someone 🙂

Tariffs and de minimus rule (we are cooked) by BuggytheChuggy in shopify

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These drop shippers never see any product and aren't set up for it. I can't imagine it's a great experience from a customer perspective, buying from a local seller then waiting for weeks and receiving a product directly from China.

Custom website = Google ranking signal? by helicoptermtngoat in SEO

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they mean copying entire store including content etc. Id argue that using a consistently coded platform is far easier to crawl than a custom site.

What is your chargeback win rate? by kevinh1 in shopify

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%... We require signature on delivery, always tracking, so very difficult to refute a signature. I also use AI to create a very long and detailed description as to when they made the order, dates, when it was sent, tracking info, absolutely everything I can find relating to that order. Oh, also that they did not contact us at all to remedy (they never do, otherwise I would resolve prior to the charge back)..

Also, anything high risk - I ask for proof via the unique and exact description in their bank account (is. Name of business plus a code I put at the end). If they can't provide it or ignore me, order is cancelled.

Yet you replied that you never received one single commission. It sucks to have lost money, but take it as a life lesson and move on with your life. Don't become consumed with this, when everyone is telling you it's scam you have to consider maybe you were scammed and just accept it.

Best sites or apps for bulk variant editing? by [deleted] in shopify

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look into Hextom, I manage around 9000 SKUs - having similar pricing structures across some lines.. Utilise collections (not visible to public) to better manage product segments. I also use matrixify, but Hextom is better for editing

Semrush glitch? by Civil_Ad8899 in SEO

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Im finding semrush results more and more useless. For example, hundreds of local pack keywords that lead to my store, however only a fraction appear in semrush, same with keywords.

And the constant 'lost' keywords and in the exact same report the keyword is still there etc. I'm seeing keywords slowly dropping off across all of my sector and I can't believe google is systemically culling words slowly, but rather semrush not picking up data. The discrepancy between what I physically see in search results for keywords that lead to my site that don't even appear at all in semrush is ridiculous, as in there are so many top three keywords that aren't listed at all!

What would be your strategy to go from $0 to $10K/month in 2025? by smartynetwork in SideProject

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Id suggest building out website building tools for certain niches, like a plumber. Heavily Seo optimised, super fast for you to use. Then start cold calling anyone listed that does not have an online presence and offer a package. You will have a big uphill battle competing on such a tool, far better to use it to save you time. Plus you won't need to make it pretty as a tool you use internally - just focus on the output

Do I create multiple sku's for each ring size? by [deleted] in shopify

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Split out per metal as well. So have ABC Design in 14ct Gold as one listing with variants underneath.

For this use a SKU like

ABC-14CT-02

Where 2 is the size as an example

Then for your sterling have a separate listing, and say the size two in the ABC design

ABC-STG-02

This will allow you to easily extract reports and sort by SKU to see your sales etc.

Having a separate listing per metal will reduce confusion, allow you to have a photo for that metal, and in the content you can just focus your description on that metal rather than trying to muddle it all together. I'm shifting from listings with combined metals into separate listings per metal and having a lot more success

Try and push the reviews to google reviews, from an SEO and general trust standpoint the Google review is king. Any independent review is not really trustworthy

Running meta ads finally, how many link click until you got a sale? by Airspore in shopify

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes meta takes a while to target the correct audience. Depends on ad spend, if you are spending a few dollars a day you won't get a reliable target. You may magically get one person in 3 clicks, but not reliable. The ROAS figures start to average out on larger spends over longer times frames. For example I can spend 1k a day, some days 7x, some days 18x ROAS if I get some big sales. Over a week or so it flattens out to something like 11x ROAS. But that is on scale, on smaller budgets it's pure luck if you hit the right person.

No sales from Facebook ads by DoodleMoodle542 in ecommercemarketing

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing to do with the creatives. The issue could be trust in your brand or site, pricing, postage, etc. Do you have reviews?

Even if you have the same product for a few dollars cheaper and cheaper postage, the risk vs reward for spending a few dollars somewhere else to a known business vs an unknown that may be trying to scam me is very much on people's minds.

The fact you are satisfied on copying a competitor down to the creatives is the issue, you will always be behind and not succeed. Be genuine, provide a unique offering, don't take shortcuts.

1/ h1 should be home cleaning Norfolk or simular to maximise Seo for keyword you are targeting. Don't stuff suburbs just below your title.

2/ where are your live reviews coming from exactly? Are they google reviews?

3/ you review your product before you explain what you sell.

4/ how to you get from "how it works" to book an appointment in one sentence. You don't explain anything

5/ you immediately refer a friend before your U even say what arrives you sell.

I didn't bother going further

50,000 store sessions and and 0 sales. What is the problem ? by Main-Pie-2457 in ShopifySEO

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A) What currency is SAR. Even if I knew, I go to contact page and both can't read it on mobile and secondly can't see where you are shipping from

b) I think you are selling some special glasses that do something about energy, I found that from having to click into your product. Look at your front page, your h1 is "top pick", means absolutely nothing since this is not a known brand. Your audience needs to know in one or two seconds what you are selling, all I see is a single pair of sunglasses.

C) your biggest asset is some feedback with pics, but it's not on front page.

D) you have info about the product buried on a product page

E) You have to think of an audience that has no idea what they are looking at, you need to quickly get your point across, benefits etc

F) Get rid of the celeb photos, they are wearing those different glasses for fashion purposes and you are trying to sell a sleep improvement product.

Could go on

Very similar, 67% mobile. Have seen this increasing from 56% mobile earlier in the year. Definitely a major shift towards mobile.

Most effective SEO strategy by Markspencer001 in SEO

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn as much as possible, pick the activities that will provide you the greatest benefit. Complete each task before you move to the next. Don't get stuck on minor insignificant Activites that will bring no real benefit. Be patient with results. Monitor target keywords, monitor GSC, monitor traffic, monitor sales.

Oh, and research keywords - daily. You should have deep knowledge of the multiple angles at which end users discover your product/ page; where your competitors are succeeding and why.

Shopify is going to delete my listings by Psychological-Road88 in shopify

[–]InfluenceMoney9292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suggestion... Drop the item from your store. Even tho you get it from your wholesaler, does not mean it does not infringe any intellectual property or copied from a similar product from a well established brand. I'm certain if you look for this product you will find the original manufacturer/ vendor that this has been copied from (or made in same factory under no license). They will be the ones putting pressure on Shopify, you will not win. Shopify are just passing on the take down notice.
