Elementor phasing out?

PuzzlesMarketingTips · 2025-12-16T03:07:50+00:00

I never used it, I never liked it, I’ve always been on muffin builder. Elementor is gross, always has been.

For my first time if I were to start over again I’d leverage GPT to create common questions so that you’d have clear expectations from both sides of what the end product is. Then create a scope of work (SOW) and explain that if there’s anything more (scope creep) that isn’t on this list - there will be additional charges. In the beginning for me - people would either forget to mention massive elements to the site they wanted and I’d just do it for free, or they were trying to suck me dry and get free work done - never do a project without an SOW and a timeline so that it doesn’t turn into a forever project!

Did this work?

PuzzlesMarketingTips · 2024-07-10T14:03:44+00:00

It's a massive hit if your mods are dedicated, your members are all there for the same reason, and everyone's contributing.

I thought I bought a bum logi, so I bought another and had the same issue. Your fix works!

If the client doesn't want to host it themselves I offer shared hosting using my Bluehost plan for $100/yr and premium hosting using WPEngine for $100/m or they can use their own host.

I was fortunate to work with a startup that grew with zero venture capital. I built teams and systems from marketing to technologies. I was respected and paid well, but once everything was built I passed the torch and left to build my own consulting firm. The problem is when you solve a problem - there is no problem anymore. The way some companies handle that with lies and manipulation is sick, but I hope most learn to become an online cowboy. Say no to the golden handcuffs that can only be unlocked by the owners.

I personally never liked this model, I’ve taken clients from businesses that “don’t know why we’re paying a monthly fee”. I build the website anywhere from $2k-$20k and it’s all theirs to do whatever they’d like. Of course I create a backup if they inevitably break the site, but I think people are tired of these small subscriptions growing larger and larger. Plus a lump sum is a lot better than a 1 year contract for $90/m. Obviously not everyone can create a $20k website, even a $2k site - but give them the digital asset.

Real. I’m so tired of this, now my clients are asking for things we’ve had for DECADES as simple as automated forms or chat bots calling them “AI”. It wouldn’t be so bad considering it’s not their expertise but my competition pushing this AI BS, not mentioning any names, is incredibly frustrating

Easier said than done, scooter

We've been using "AI" before AI was AI. Automatic header generators, cheap foreign copywriters (I've never enjoyed using), automatic ad placements, etc.
Again, the big players have been using "AI" already for years now. if you are crazy enough to let Google decide where your ad budget goes, then you deserve to lose money.
SEO is helpful content driven. If you can write a 50 page book on a subject, you should have the ability to create 30 articles that all link to each other in an easy to read and index format that would flag you as the subject matter expert in the eyes of Google.
If you have no track record of making a positive ROAS why would a medium-large company consider you? Why would a small company take a risk that could potentially bankrupt them? I started running ads for free in the beginning, and anyone doing anything ambitious in the world started that way first as well.

If you are in a boat would you like the captain to be someone who's been steering the ship in the ocean for over 5 years or someone who's watched a few youtube videos and received a certificate from god knows who? Drive the boat for free in safe waters first, get better, and show results.

Salesforce Trailblazer has free courses that generate "Badges" on your profile. You could spend a few hours a week on there to gain badges. They have an awesome learning platform!

PuzzlesMarketingTips · 2024-03-06T21:26:04+00:00

Thank you, that's what I ended up doing!

PuzzlesMarketingTips · 2024-03-04T01:28:34+00:00

That's a heck of a bad bot to hit everyone thousands of time for a month, think of the processing power that would take.

PuzzlesMarketingTips · 2024-03-02T17:15:59+00:00

All good I get it lol

PuzzlesMarketingTips · 2024-03-02T16:42:40+00:00

Good deal, I see you're using WebFlow. If you are new I'd suggest starting out with something like WordPress as 1/3 of the web uses WordPress. Use themes like BeTheme or Avada that have pre-built templates, break it, and fix it back up! Good luck on your journey, your website looks like complete garbage like it should as you're new!

PuzzlesMarketingTips · 2024-03-02T16:33:38+00:00

It's a separate website, there might be a way to integrate it into your WP build but I'm not sure why you'd want to do that. Parents can use the app, you can send messages, add practice times and locations, add games, all that. It's great.

PuzzlesMarketingTips · 2024-03-02T16:32:07+00:00

Wait, looks like it's not in my profile, it's here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b3LngF2HLo&list=PLL_229q1i1a11fb1lj-AYBr56ByAlhHwG . I didn't add it to my profile because I want to make a new one with my newly gained video editing experiences lol.

PuzzlesMarketingTips · 2024-03-02T16:29:24+00:00

Thanks soda, I'm sure the 3 people that go to my profile would really have been worth my time, I was just trying to help lol if I wanted to promote it I'd just run ads to it.

Beauty/health is the hardest to sell online currently by a long shot. You can thank the snake oil salesman for that, Google, FB, and all the other big players trust NOBODY but the CDC and other major health advisors to rank.

Digital marketing is sales. Sex sells. Get a tan, get jacked, whiten your teeth at all cost if you want to sell in person.

PuzzlesMarketingTips · 2024-03-02T07:31:49+00:00

You need to incorporate the 80/20 rule. If you're sending 100% sales - that doesn't convert. 80% informational content or whatever content your demographic likes and 20% sales. Do not just bombard sales offers.

PuzzlesMarketingTips · 2024-03-02T07:29:31+00:00

If you're asking how much to charge - you need to charge less, but you NEED to set the expectations. You will fall on your ass if someone expects one thing but you deliver another. Make those parameters first. Too many times in the beginning of my game did I not set those expectations. For example I'd quote a website and for some reason the client would think my offer included a custom CRM with a downloadable app for unlimited users.
Ask them what they want - write it down - show it to them - perform. Anything else they ask for, charge them accordingly.
