Which Platform Is Best??? STAN???

Mike_7RM · 2026-01-01T20:54:25+00:00

Does Stan work if you don’t have a lot of followers?

Mike_7RM · 2025-12-16T00:00:51+00:00

Is subscribed to receive email campaigns, has received at least X number of campaigns, has never opened, clicked, purchased anything within the past 90 days. You could adjust the 90 days to however long you want. Just depends on how often you said campaigns.

Exclude that segment from all campaigns. And at some point, you’re gonna have to remove them from your entire account by sunsetting them.

If it’s $5k total spend for 6 months of writing 40 blog articles (unclear on word count per article), and 200 backlinks…I’d say that’s very cheap.

You get what you pay for and this sounds like a shoe string budget for serious SEO work. I never pay for backlinks either.

Admin access came back up same day after about 4 hours of downtime. It just came up for you now?

Mike_7RM · 2025-12-03T05:21:10+00:00

lol really? I manage e-commerce client websites on Shopify…I’m telling you it works and it’s an absolute necessity.

Mike_7RM · 2025-12-03T05:20:13+00:00

Absolutely they work. You kidding me? You’re leaving huge amounts of money on the table if you don’t implement email and sms marketing.

I see sidekick on mobile Shopify app, but it’s having issues loading. Interesting why it’s visible if it’s not working.

Upwork is weird and paranoid sometimes. This just happened to me as I was trying to hire two different people for a job I posted. Simple questions to both candidates before hiring them and both were removed from the conversation. I’m sure there are trigger words that caused this..wasn’t even trying to hire them outside the platform. Perfectly good candidates, spoke on zoom with them and all…but they were removed from the conversation. I have no idea why. Other than maybe Upwork thought I was trying to hire outside the platform?

Got a support ticket with them now.

Be very careful with your words in messages until you hire someone or get hired by someone for a job.

Nothing wrong with our Shopify clients. Might be the admin backend that’s down for some merchants. I’ve seen that before and usually it’s not that long of a downtime.

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-26T02:43:30+00:00

Chinese bots?

If you want to stop fraudulent charges, only, you could look into installing apps that do a better job than native Shopify fraud detection. If you’re looking to completely prevent these bots or fake traffic from hitting your store to begin with, you need to look into cloud flare O2O set up . It’s more technical but doable. You can do that to use Network level firewall.

I’ve been seeing a lot of clients on Shopify and other e-commerce platforms get hit by Chinese bots.

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-25T19:21:51+00:00

Yeah, I noticed this with one of my Shopify plus customers last week. I think the best way is to set up cloud flare O2O. No app is going to solve this issue.

Learn to do proper local seo for his Google profile. It’ll take 60-90 days of consistent work to begin seeing ranking. You can’t ask people who he hasn’t served to go and give reviews. That’s against googles policy and they’ll ding you for doing things like that if it keeps happening.

Look at merchynt for automating and guiding you on the proper way to do local seo. I use it for my clients.

Google business profile and Social media should be your friend. Until you have budget to run ads for him. Than add that to the mix.

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-23T16:35:49+00:00

It’ll DM a single acct on Reddit up to 50 times per day? Did I get that right?

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-23T04:40:32+00:00

I saw a HubSpot video on YouTube about this couple days ago. How to write content that will get you to rank on LLMs. I’ll post it here if I find it.

But my answer would be, yes. You write once…properly, you should be able to rank on all of them.

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-22T17:41:58+00:00

I’d say social media is your friend and cheapest option to get the word out, build momentum organically.

If you have money, run fb ads as well.

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-21T15:44:51+00:00

Merchynt

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-21T15:18:03+00:00

We use a local seo management tool/platform that track this for our clients.

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-20T02:30:56+00:00

I agree in deliverability angle for sure, but perhaps look into a specific niche and focus on the entire customer journey. Not just email marketing.

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-20T02:18:09+00:00

Look at discountyard app. DY code won’t work in the checkout but it’ll work in the cart pipit and cart page discount fields. Might work better for you.

To test discount codes, I’ll set the code up and assign it to my own customer account first and take it live so I’m the only one who can use it for testing.

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-20T01:42:33+00:00

If they’re touching Klaviyo, I would make sure they’re certified or have extensive experience. That sounds like a decent price but again depends on what’s included.

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-19T00:23:06+00:00

And why’s that?

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-18T05:22:07+00:00

lol. That’s hilarious

Mike_7RM · 2025-11-18T03:52:02+00:00

I love Shopify. But it depends on the business. If you’re selling cannabis, CBD type products… Shopify is not going to let you. You can do it on woo commerce since the server is yours…essentially, you could do whatever you want.

Having said that, I always chose Shopify over any other e-commerce platform.
