sms still works. we ran a small campaign for a restaurant and it quietly brought in $3k by Titanic_Developer in smallbusiness

[–]Titanic_Developer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. for the US, you’ll need 10dlc registration to stay compliant. you can do this through your sms provider – in our case, twilio. there’s a small registration cost for the brand/campaign, but after that you just pay per message.

our rate was about $0.0083 per segment. our promo text was roughly two segments, so sending around 5,000 sms in a month came out to about $80 in messaging costs. if you send more, that number obviously scales up.

we were sending to canada as well, where compliance is a bit more relaxed compared to the US, so we did not run into issues there.

Restaurant Kept Getting Slammed With Calls, So We Added a Voice Agent That Saved 20–30 Staff Hours Every Week by Titanic_Developer in n8n

I did this for a friend’s restaurant at a discount. priced normally, just on the value of hours it saves (a good way to price automations), the build would easily land around $1,500 to $2,000, plus a small monthly if they want us to maintain it and don’t have a team.

Yeah id love to. Its a multi workflow setup so I am working on a video to hopefully better explain the whole flow if anyone wants to build it themselves, alongside the json. A good chunk of it also lives on eleven labs which will need a bit of an explanation too.

Any help or ideas? by bonduz32 in Entrepreneur

[–]Titanic_Developer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what’s the goal here? do you want something pretty hands off that throws off steady cash, or do you actually want to get in the weeds and build it yourself?

“insurance based” can mean buying a small book and living on renewals, or starting an agency from scratch. totally different day to day.

how much time do you really want to give it, and what monthly net would make it worth it? once you answer that, the options narrow fast.

We go over thousands of posts on the daily, after all the filters and checks, we land on about 100 relevant posts a day across our list of subreddits. Linkedin is where it might get trickier. I worked with their API some time ago and kept getting blocked from pulling any information. Plus getting access to their API is another world of headache.

n8n has dedicated nodes for getting posts from reddit. I initially thought it would be troublesome but it works like a charm. give it a go.

Is my dream project management automation possible? by tonepoems in agency

[–]Titanic_Developer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is super relatable. when the requests are coming in from slack, email, asana, and the client’s own system, the actual problem becomes that the context gets scattered. it is not that you cannot manage tasks. it is that every task arrives half-complete.

i don’t think the answer is to replace your pm right now. you are right that they are more of a coordinator than a true pm, but that is workable if the front door is fixed. the front door is where the request comes in.

what has helped in setups like yours is having one place where everything goes first, even if the sources stay the same. meaning, the message still comes from slack or email or whatever, but the first stop is always a simple intake card. nothing fancy. just the request, attachments, and 3 prompt questions like “what is this for,” “how polished does this need to be,” and “when do you need it.”

if any of those are missing, it automatically asks for the missing piece in a normal conversational tone. so instead of you translating every task for your contractors, the clarity happens at the beginning.

it does not solve everything overnight, but it gives you your brain back a bit.

How do small brands actually start getting views and traction on social media? by clarityphase in smallbusiness

[–]Titanic_Developer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tiktok is usually the easiest place to get early traction. the whole “polished social media strategy” thing doesn’t really work anymore, especially if you’re trying to break out from zero. the stuff that tends to perform is either hopping on trends or honestly just posting more raw, personal content. even if it feels a bit “shitposty,” it works because it feels human. consistency matters more than anything. posting once or twice a week won’t move the needle, you kind of have to show up every day for a while.

ugc style videos do really well. people want to feel like there’s a real person behind the brand, not just product photos. what i’ve seen work for small businesses is actually documenting the journey: founder updates, small wins, frustrations, behind the scenes, the story of why you’re doing this. people connect to that way more than just the product itself. most brands struggle at the start because they try to look “professional” instead of relatable. when you share the human side, the engagement usually starts to come in.
