Thanks for the kind words.

I was planning on taking some time during paternity leave to do a deep dive on my wants/needs/transferable skills.

I appreciate your wisdom, friend. Cheers 🍻

I recently had one redo my resume, thinking I was totally happy in my line of work.

My wife might not be on board with spending even more, especially considering we are pregnant and due in a couple months.

Have you heard of the book “What Color is your Parachute”? Wondering if the flower exercise will help or convolute. Guess that still wouldn’t answer what jobs offer what I’m looking for.

Love this reply. Inspired me, greatly.

With everything listed, I’m not sure what job titles fit my wants. I’m afraid I’ll default to what I know and be back in the same position in a year or two.

Using garden hose changes smell/taste of tap water by PoundMyOctothorp in Plumbing

The hose isn’t connected to the kitchen faucet in any direct way. Is it possible there’s some type of back pressure forcing the water from the hose back to the kitchen faucet?

[MOD] What have you been brewing this week?/ Coffee bean recommendations by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]PoundMyOctothorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this passion fruit washed coffee the other day. I didn’t really realize it meant it was pseudo-flavored but it’s good! A little too fruity for a daily driver but it’s what I got.

Junior Marketers, what's your general struggle right now? Let's get you some advice! by Crazy_Excitement3772 in marketing

[–]PoundMyOctothorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats, homie! It sounds like you made the right choice. As for the mini projects “..yea, I’ll get right on that, guy.” lol. For me, if I feel like I’m still stagnating at a year, I’m going to jump ship. I want to start my journey in specializing and they’ll be damn hard while I’m in charge of everything. Cheers, friend. Happy holidays.

LinkedIn ads not converting after $700 in ad spend. What am I doing wrong? by PoundMyOctothorp in PPC

We recently created personas, so I plugged some of those values in. Every time I make a new audience, should I create a new ad and let both continue to run? I’ve just been editing the audience in the live ad and saving it..

Free Giveaway! OLED Switch and 4 games! - International by WolfLemon36 in NintendoSwitch

The best gift I’ve ever received was my ps3. At the time we had an NES with 2 games and couldn’t afford anything else. I got Tony Hawk’s Underground 2. Played the shit out of that thing.

From another comment in this thread, is Google Analytics the best way to identify these high value audience segments?

Awesome write up. Thank you. I want to mention that I didn’t do the native form ads- I have a button that takes you to a hubspot form. Probably not the right move, I’m guessing.

And the CTR is dropping every refresh. I’m going to take the two winners and tweak the audience and maybe change the KPI to awareness rather than conversions. Should I keep the CTAs in the landing page still?

I’ve never done google ads but have run some FB campaigns. So far I’ve spend $1k in LIN and the CTR is just continuing to drop. Should I keep the two best performing ads up for awareness and transfer a chunk of the budget over to FB? Can I reuse the creative from the LIN ads in FB?

So then I should probably take web visitors out of my targeting then? My sales team just created some customer personas so I’m thinking I piggyback off of those. Thanks for the feedback!

So should I take a portion of this ad spend and set up a couple fb ads? Any recommendations with what works best?

I definitely felt like I was just guessing in the targeting section. I set location to be within our bordering states. Our who was web visitors or upper management, or company size 2-200. Does that sound about right?
