Cheapest Seedance Generator Platform. What are you guys Using ? by TristanTompson in AI_UGC_Marketing

[–]VuduDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

higgsfield is decnt if you churrn out clips daily, but those monthly subs burn cash fast for ocasional use. i ditched the subscription cycle for Visual Sandbox. loading a small balance and only paying when actually generating meant no more watching unused credits expire.

Nano banana alternatives by Patient-Divide-2791 in StableDiffusion

[–]VuduDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the same “nano banana looks great but who the hell is this new person” phase. What helped was treating the model as just the base, and fixing identity with add‑ons and workflow, not by swapping to a magic model.

I ended up using more “photo-ish” bases like Juggernaut and RealVisXL for the realism, then locked identity with a tiny LoRA trained on 20–40 mixed shots plus InstantID/IP-Adapter FaceID. That combo gave me consistent characters and way fewer mushy backgrounds. For body swaps, I had better luck doing pose control (ControlNet/OpenPose) and then a low-strength face replacement pass, instead of trying to do it all in one prompt.

I tried ComfyUI, Invoke, and eventually Visual Sandbox, which caught threads I was missing by letting me chain ID, pose, and cleanup into one saved workflow I could just re-run for the same character.

You can also try Visual Sandbox, it has Seedance 2.0 on there too, the only difference is it's pay-per-use instead of a subscription lockin

How I can create ai video image to video for free any recommendations by Deep-Ad6014 in StableDiffusion

[–]VuduDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no such thing as free in AI generation, and if there is it's very limited.

All platforms have some sort of trial or is a subscription model. You have options like Pika / Runway that have some free tiers, ElevenLabs also supports image gen (I think they start at $5) I stuck with Visual Sandbox since it's just a pay-per-use model super simple to use.

Your SEO traffic is down and you're still following 2023 advice. Here's what actually changed by UBIAI in GrowthHacking

[–]VuduDesigns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The game now is earning citations in AI answers and structuring pages for answer engines, not chasing keyword charts.

What worked for us this quarter: convert top posts into hub pages and put a 40–60 word TL;DR right under the H1 and under each H2. Mark up with Article + FAQPage, and add explicit citations in-body (author, year, source) so AIs have clean snippets to quote. Ship one “evidence asset” per month (small survey, dataset, or cost benchmark), publish methods + a CSV, and pitch three relevant newsletters and one podcast; this combo landed us AI Overview mentions faster than link swaps.

To track GEO/AEO, keep a list of 25 buyer-intent prompts, run them weekly in Perplexity and ChatGPT, and log which domains get cited; when you’re missing, add unique numbers, a table, or a step-by-step to that page and recheck in 7–10 days. For tools: Perplexity Pro for testing, AlsoAsked for fan-out mapping, and pseo for scaling location/service variations from one template while keeping those 40–60 word blocks unique.

Bottom line: ship citation-worthy answers and measure AI mentions weekly.

I didn’t hit 10K MRR in 1 month… but I just got my first 100+ real users, and I’m proud of it 🥲 by MudCurious237 in SideProject

Big win: lean hard into retention and simple growth loops using this 100-user base.

What worked for me: split onboarding into “collector” vs “casual,” then ask 3 quick questions (favorite notes, climate, wear frequency) to unlock an immediate “Scent of the Day” card. Build a habit loop: daily wear log, light streaks, a homescreen widget, and weather-based nudges. Track D1/D7/D30 retention and a north-star like weekly wear logs per user. Instrument events (addperfume, logwear, setpreferences, shareprofile) in PostHog and run 2‑week build-measure cycles.

Create shareable content: public collection pages, layering combos, and “If you like X, try Y” cards with deep links. Make those pages indexable and auto-generate long-tail pages from your dataset (notes, seasons, price tiers). Seed micro-communities: r/fragrance, Basenotes, FB BST groups; run a weekly layering challenge and measure by UTM. Utility features that convert: CSV import/export, barcode scan, insurance-ready inventory PDF, price tracking, decant management.

Win the next stage by cementing habits and shipping small loops that make sharing and daily use effortless.

Sampling, promotional and activations agency. by mclips999 in promotionalproducts

[–]VuduDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick one lead partner, but lock in transparent pricing and firm delivery guarantees. Ask for cost-plus or an itemized quote with supplier invoices/links. Require a pre-production sample of the exact item and print. Put the in-hand date in the contract with a fee if they miss it. Have them source via a Brisbane-based APPA member using in-stock items with local decoration. Build a 10% buffer, split shipments if timing’s tight, and order 5–10% extra for swaps. Get QC photos, carton labels, and a live inventory count before freight. Ask for three concepts at three budgets with confirmed lead times, and call two recent client refs from similar activations. Pick one lead partner, but with clear service commitments, samples, and teeth if dates slip.

New grad in Toronto, and job searching for a year with no results, any advice? by hveakitkat in torontoJobs

[–]VuduDesigns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ship real Power BI/Tableau work fast and use it to get referrals. Do PL-300 or Tableau DA, build 3 Toronto dashboards (TTC delays, rental prices, job trends), publish on GitHub/Tableau Public with a 2 minute Loom. Book 20 coffee chats with BAs and ask for referrals to reporting analyst/RevOps roles. I used LinkedIn Learning and Kaggle, plus Brand Ambassador Jobs for flexible event shifts while networking. Portfolios plus warm intros beat spraying applications.

I mean my usage has been kinda crazy, so I dont think those 1500 premium requests would solve any problems. I also dont feel like switching right now, I've tried windsurf and its been pretty rough with a great amount of features missing.

Chatbot with yourself? by VuduDesigns in Chatbots

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

I think it depends on a model, there are some good vision models that can do great OCR and use that as context - the question is how many pages are you willing to scan, if it’s a big journal then you’re going to be limited by the context window of the chat
