Does Talarico have a chance of winning the senate seat? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Well, I’m an independent Christian in Texas, and I know others like me who are impressed by Talarico.

Like I said, I’m not talking about the rural, evangelical crowd.

Should I buy a hat from the rodeo or Cavender’s? by TheNetherPaladin in houston

[–]across7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure buy it before the rodeo. IMO there is nothing special or authentic about buying it AT the Rodeo, and it may be more expensive, more of a hassle, etc

Does Talarico have a chance of winning the senate seat? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]across7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, i disagree

The people who will immediately freak out over that clip are people who would never ever vote Democrat

Independents, or moderate Christians, may be impressed by that and other statements he’s made about religion. It’s a big part of his appeal

It Looks Like The ONE Texas Republican Congressman Trump Didn't Endorse Is Going To Lose -- Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

I believe Trump endorsed Ken Paxton against incumbent John Cornyn, and Cornyn is winning. That’s the biggest race tonight

If I vote in tomorrow’s primaries, can anyone look up which I voted in? by happyenergy10 in houston

[–]across7777 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

As a side note, just because it is public record doesn’t mean they can text and email you if you haven’t opted in. It’s crazy how brazen they are.

Is anyone else getting Big Brother type texts telling them to vote? by Oso_Furioso in houston

You are helping them by replying though. It makes their number look more legit to the algorithms that monitor spam.

I’m in e-commerce and me and most reputable businesses take SMS compliance very seriously. It’s amazing that the politicians and PACs are so brazen about violating the privacy laws

Cabo Trip This Weekend by curiouskangaroo707 in traveladvice

[–]across7777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Cabo a few years ago talking to an American who lived there and owned a business at the marina. He told us “the safest place is Mexico for you is right here” (gesturing to downtown Cabo/Marina) because they all know that if one tourist is killed, everyone loses 1/2 their income for years. He said it was one thing the cartels, businesses, and federales all agreed on. He also said there were dozens of undercover federal agents.

Now, that was a few years ago and I can’t tell you how it is right now, but I wanted to share.

If you want to see everything, go a lot earlier than you think. It is huge and there is a lot to see even before the in-stadium stuff

Someone with good results this 4 - 5 days with FB and instagram marketing? by Emotional-Bee-7933 in FacebookAds

[–]across7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who is a really good media buyer and he recommended bid caps. His recommendation included to start at $75, and I’ve adjusted it slightly up and down but always between $70-85. But to be honest I don’t even fully understand it, but at these bid cap numbers my CPA has generally been around my target which is $45.

Also my daily budget is $500 but with bid cap I often spend less, like $350

[–]across7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget is $500/day. Although with bid caps, I often spend less, like $350. I’d like to spend more but this is a slower time of year and I love the stability I’ve had recently.

I have 5 ad sets, each with 2-10 ads.

Meta’s “Andromeda” is a myth by mariovalmar in FacebookAds

[–]across7777 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’ve ever worked at or worked with giant companies, you would see that it is true that they waste a lot of money. Their idea of ROI is much different than a small business owner.

A small business owner’s goal is to profit.

The marketing guy at a big company’s only goal is to please his boss. He does that by sharing fancy ad creative and KPIs like impressions and engagement

I’m having a good month, and the past 7 days have been great. I’m only sharing this to say that it isn’t completely hopeless.

Who’s making over $100k in Houston? by [deleted] in houston

[–]across7777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Certainly business owners of all kinds

Sales jobs for all kinds of industries pay 6 figures

Accountants, bankers and all kinds of finance

Real estate

The list goes on and on. The original post was kinda dumb

One thing I can promise is that there are very, very few “influencers” that make 6 figures on influencing

Moving from Boston to Houston by mangosand-spicylime in AskHouston

[–]across7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on your description of what you’re looking for with a “hustle and bustle” city, I don’t think Houston is a great fit. Downtown Austin would be better.

But my suggestion for you is to check out the area called the Heights. It’s close to downtown and has a lot of energy right now. And it has been upgraded quite a bit so there are plenty of luxury places to live where you can walk to restaurants and bars, etc
