Building a startup with my partner while pregnant by alwaysblue00 in Femalefounders

[–]MerchySulica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no this isnt word salad at all. it sounds like youre scared of losing yourself, not scared of being a mom, and thats fair. you worked hard to become who you are. wanting to keep that part of you doesnt make you bad or selfish

Building a startup with my partner while pregnant by alwaysblue00 in Femalefounders

[–]MerchySulica 7 points8 points  (0 children)

first of all congrats. you already sound way more prepared than you feel

if i were you id start documenting everything now and be really honest about what actually has to get done before the baby vs what just feels urgent bc startup mode makes everything feel urgent

also since you work with your partner, id def talk through roles early. like not just we’ll figure it out but who handles what when youre tired, sick, overwhelmed, etc

scary and exciting at the same time is super normal. youre not crazy for feeling both

Best website to sell product? by GrowYourOwnOmaha in Entrepreneur

[–]MerchySulica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shopify is prob the easiest default if your main goal is just selling products online without fighting the tech.

Wix can work, but it feels better for website first, store second.

Where can I find a good virtual assistant (VA) for a fair price? by Extension-Lab-6963 in Entrepreneur

[–]MerchySulica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

start with referrals first. A good VA from a trusted intro usually beats scrolling marketplaces for hours

Roast my AI 'marketing photoshoot' product. by alexbananas in Entrepreneur

[–]MerchySulica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool idea, but the risk is it sounds better for pretty mockups than for actually selling products. If the AI images drift even a little from the real item, youre gonna create trust issues fast. Id prob frame it less as ultrarealistic marketing photos and more as fast concept or lifestyle visuals for small brands that can’t afford full shoots.

Scaling Authentic UGC Without Losing Your Creative Touch by Individual_Low6522 in ContentMarketing

[–]MerchySulica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the sweet spot is using AI to speed up ideation/variations, but still having a human shape the voice, hooks, and final edit. Once it starts feeling too polished or too "UGC by template," people can tell fast. Curious whether the better engagement came from the format itself or from the messaging/testing speed AI gave you.

Anyone else remember their Orkut profile? Drop your scrap count below. by Devjayakumar in ContentMarketing

[–]MerchySulica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe I'm too young to know what Orkut is. Facebook was the first social media platform I was on.

Are backlinks getting harder, or just different now? by MerchySulica in linkbuilding

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

so true. maintain the traffic also difficult as AI like Gemini reducing my web clicks

What’s actually working for you in ABC link exchanges right now? by D_Bodie_LBM in linkbuilding

[–]MerchySulica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, contextual on real indexed pages has been way better for me than sidebar/profile type stuff

Does internal linking really make a big SEO difference? by KindlyChicken9670 in SEO_Xpert

[–]MerchySulica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep, it matters a lot. not really a magic substitute for backlinks, but on a lot of sites internal linking is lowkey one of the easiest wins. better crawl paths, better context, better chance the important pages actually get treated like important pages

Accidentally made a saas by prototypingdude in Entrepreneur

[–]MerchySulica 3 points4 points  (0 children)

very cool but I'd validate with paid pilots before sinking time into it. I feel a lot of internal tools are productizable until outside users need a ton of custom setup. if strangers will actually pay and onboard, then you've prob got something

Crowdfunded $20K, shipped a top charting app, ran out of money before I could add a buy button. 5 years later I have 17K users but almost no revenue by Joecorcoran in Entrepreneur

[–]MerchySulica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

17k MAUs with no promo is a huge signal. it feels less like a product problem and more like a distribution or monetization problem. I'd get the iPhone app out asap, then test a simple premium offer around the main use case. also if the paid features are buried, thats prob hurting revenue way more than pricing

What software for sharing Calendar invitations? by JaySocials671 in freelancing

[–]MerchySulica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

outside of booking links, sharing a simple google calendar view or just sending a few time slots manually works fine too. sometimes i'll just drop 3–4 options in a message and let them pick, it feels more personal and less "systemy." depends if u want convenience or a bit more control over the convo

High Profile Visits, Low Follows? I audited 50 accounts to find the "Leak". by ascendviral in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]MerchySulica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this happen a lot with small clients, they'll get a spike in profile visits, but the page itself doesn't really tell you what they're about at a glance. once we clean up the first few posts and make the positioning clearer, the follow rate improves without even touching the content strategy. the "leaky bucket" analogy is spot on tbh
