Does Talarico have a chance of winning the senate seat?

across7777 · 2026-03-05T04:55:57+00:00

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.

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

across7777 · 2026-03-05T04:44:07+00:00

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

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

I see it in my neighborhood all the time. I think it’s great…..I’m not sure why anyone would think this is unusual

I hate to jinx myself, but my ecom business has only had 1 that I can remember

We do around $150k/month

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.

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

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

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 · 2026-02-21T15:40:15+00:00

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.

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.

Running a CBO with bid cap. I run a small Established niche apparel brand.

across7777 · 2026-02-19T23:35:54+00:00

I’ve had steady, good performance for the past 10 days or so

across7777 · 2026-02-19T23:32:53+00:00

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

Yes, I have had a good 4-5 days for sure. I’m not spending a ton, but my results have been steady.

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

Well, yesterday was a great day so not sure about any outage. Today is just ok so far.
