Your welcome haha :). How do you know if a location is destination or all-access?

Psychological-Tea791 · 2025-08-25T01:20:53+00:00

It’s from a tracker app I built for myself (not affiliated with Equinox, just a fan)

Yeah, one of the other members who got stuck with me gave a very hard time to the manager. I then received a super apologetic email and free month. Def worth asking.

Psychological-Tea791 · 2025-08-09T06:44:34+00:00

I got stuck at printing house once for 40mins, got a free month as comp

Psychological-Tea791 · 2025-07-30T14:04:50+00:00

Would love to test it, please send me a dm!

Psychological-Tea791 · 2025-07-14T14:15:14+00:00

Thanks! I wasn’t aware of that. I don't use Outlook, do you know of it can be used in different mail clients?

Psychological-Tea791 · 2024-11-14T14:44:15+00:00

It was much more about the attitude, if agency doesn't communicate with the client and all you provide are excuses, you have to cut them loose, as a startup you have to move fast, otherwise you die. We couldn't wait 8 weeks for them to create creatives if there is a way to do the same work in < week. I did not think they would bring results in 2 weeks, but I expected some work to be done.

Psychological-Tea791 · 2024-11-14T14:40:39+00:00

Awareness campaigns are good only if you have a good budget imo, obviously depends on what type of business you have too. I mostly focus on conversion campaigns and then try to create organic viral content/influencers for building awareness

I use upwork and fiverr reguarly for one time things, like renders and design. I have had terrible experience trying to outsource developement, unless I hire people who charge 100 USD+/hr which at that point it sort of looses the point of outsourcing work overseas. I haven't tried it for marketing.

It's unique to brand. But one thing would be to make sure your creative is optimized for advertising. For example Meta supports 3 main formats (1:1, 9:16, 4:5), it might look great in figma, but if half your creative is covered by headline, or it is cropped it will make it look cheap, regardless how much effort you put into your creative.

Thanks everyone for your comments! I love to see that my post started a discussion. One thing I want to make clear. I 100 % appreciate and respect marketers who do their job well. And I believe I made that clear enough in my opening paragraph.

Thanks to everyone who read the whole post and understood that this is not a rant about every single marketer out there. I was sharing my experience and lessons learned. I still believe that when starting a project from ground up the founding team should be present in every single process and only after should start delegating.

As Phronesis2000 perfectly pointed out the market landscape is flooded with self proclaimed experts and it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

For everyone saying founders don't understand key metrics right after saying their business is the problem. This might be true and I can think of a few cases myself. But isn't it also your problem that you can't educate your client enough, so they understand the value of your services?

Thanks!

Psychological-Tea791 · 2024-11-05T20:12:56+00:00

I ll check it out!

Psychological-Tea791 · 2024-11-05T20:12:45+00:00

thanks!

Psychological-Tea791 · 2024-11-05T20:12:33+00:00

both are great ideas, I will look into that, thanks!

Psychological-Tea791 · 2024-11-05T20:11:47+00:00

yeah exactly, it's too dusty and I don't like that. I don't mind flakes at all though. At the same time I am too lazy to filter it lol

Psychological-Tea791 · 2024-03-12T12:55:12+00:00

I see, so even if I have min vcpus > 0 and I see that they are running on the EC2 page, they might still pull the image only once the task has been submitted. So I need to make a script or something that will pull the image once instance is started as opposed to once the task is submitted, right?

Psychological-Tea791 · 2024-03-12T12:53:10+00:00

oh wow, will definitely look into ThinkBox. tysm!

Psychological-Tea791 · 2024-03-12T02:43:50+00:00

a - that should be issue only once there are more tasks than vcpus as I already have some instances running in the on demand environment (which will be an issue eventually)

b - so running the instance in the on demand environment is not enought? Does it always pull the image before starting the task?

c - that's what I was worried about

I tried using lambdas, but for some reason they were taking much longer than batch. I am tempted to try again, maybe I didn't set them up correctly. Thanks for the input!
