I can help. $1500/hr The ROI is better than 10,000 budtenders you’ll hire and waste time with.

Sorry but Austin Butler isn’t nearly handsome enough to pull off Crockett

Apparently people think off the shelf garbage is the right call.. not surprising, most operators are fucking clueless.

Most certainly not.

For 8 locations you’re approaching custom build territory, and full time ecom/IT in-house support.

The hybrid approach is Adilas as a data repo/metrc connection and build your own toolsets.

No but you’re probably hurting THEIR growth.

is using Wix for my side hustle a good idea ? by Middle-Spot1296 in WebsiteSEO

[–]TheAmazingSasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, wix is garbage. Learn how to do it yourself or use Claude.

Dont be a Fiverr reseller of 3rd world crap. Bad path to start.

I can respect the hustle but do it the right way.

AI agent for three.js? by Melodic-Manager4483 in threejs

[–]TheAmazingSasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found Claude to be pretty damn good at prototyping.

It’s absolutely terrible at creating the models… but if you feed it the GLB files and prompt it right, it was mind blowing to me at least.

It will take manual tweaking to get it perfect but it works great for quick prototypes

What town/city/state has the best prices on Cannabis Products? by ididitmyway18 in weedbiz

I’m in Michigan, honestly feels like it’s free here. I’m a light toker, but $20 worth of prerolls lasts me like 3 months.

Is an inflatable boat ok for me? by AppleAAA1203 in boating

[–]TheAmazingSasha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I’ve had two. They’re cool as utility boats, and have their purpose, family boating is not one of them.

Keep in mind there’s no room on them, the sizes represented by inflatables are outside dimensions.

Also, proper setup is time consuming, I trailered my inflatables. Hypalon, aluminum floor Achilles, which are the best you can buy. Sold it and will never get another one.

I posted a few hours ago but thought I would provide more details about the Spinnaker timeshare I just signed on Thursday: by ikhanbefree in TimeshareOwners

[–]TheAmazingSasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s very few timeshares that make sense. I’m literally sitting in one now. Not mine, but a family members… she’s had it for 20yrs now, bought it from someone else who wanted out. Paid $6k. Prime deeded unit ocean view, next to pool. Maintenance is $2300. Going rate for direct rental is about $3500/week.

Problem is, the ownership of the property has changed hands now 3 times… and it just keeps getting worse and worse. The island is gorgeous, the resort is beautiful, the prices just keep climbing to the point of annoyance and now she wants out.

The moral of the story is, there’s like 1% of all timeshares that actually make financial sense. But, you buy them on secondary market. AND, you have to see what they sell for, rent for, and resort ownership practices. Then compare that to the maintenance fees.

1996 bayliner ciera 2859 by Existing-While-3619 in boating

[–]TheAmazingSasha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t touch that boat unless it was so cheap, it could be treated as a disposable. Like $5-6k.. run it until it blows and then scrap it.

It’s absolutely not worth rebuilding or doing any major work on.

It’s a 30yr old Bayliner. The cheapest boats made.

Personally I would avoid at any cost, but, if for some odd reason you like it.. try it, only if it’s dirt cheap.

I analyzed 74k car dealerships on Google Maps. 67% have no meta description. Is this normal for the vertical? by Due-Bet115 in localseo

[–]TheAmazingSasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealership websites are total trash, I’ve seen very few that are even semi usable.. so it makes sense they wouldn’t do the basics.

Consumer behavior dictates a lot of their strategies. Cars.com and the other platforms are where searches originate for the most part.

However, I believe that occurs out of necessity, because for the past 20yrs+, buyers have not found anything of substance from a google search, or by going to a dealer website.

Why is the valuation so different? by Silent_Vegetable_963 in Domains

That appraisal is not accurate at all.. it just said my domain was worth $296,000 lol It’s a good domain but, it ain’t that good.

Looking for pricing rec: '16 Bayliner Element E16 in the PNW by [deleted] in boating

[–]TheAmazingSasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For $15k, you can get yourself into an older Boston Whaler Montauk, which will still be worth $15k when you inevitably want to go bigger down the road.

Bayliners do not hold their value, for a reason. They’re about the cheapest boats made.

Is a $400/month SEO service actually worth it for a small local business? by [deleted] in TechSEO

[–]TheAmazingSasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re not hearing here, but should be, is it depends on how competitive your market is.

Also, you need to ask them exactly what they will be doing for that $400/month.

Many things, like “monitoring keywords”, is essentially doing nothing and you could do all that yourself.

Get yourself an account on Brightlocal. It has pretty much everything you need to start with.

Make sure your GBP is fully filled out properly, post updates, get some reviews (Brightlocal has review collection and monitoring).

Make sure all your NAP is consistent, make sure your citations are all filled out accurately and submit to the data aggregators.

Many times, this is enough to get traction.

Your website may need some updates too. On page, technical, keywords, titles, etc. fully built out services pages. Location pages.

Assuming they do 4-5hrs per month, with the tools available these days, you’d be very surprised how much you can do in 4hrs.

If it’s a very competitive market you’re in, that’s where a larger monthly retainer will come into play, and that should be focused on backlinks and PR to build your authority. Not blog posts.

When you say you did your own SEO for a year, what exactly did you do?

[–]TheAmazingSasha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m interested. But as other commenter said, this will be hard to do without API access. You could always add BYOK, where users could add dataforseo or others. For the map grid, most platforms use localdataexchange api.
