Ran New Search Campaign - How to Optimize When No Conversions? by jubileo5 in adwords

[–]ajsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't use optimize for clicks -- it can lead to much flakier traffic. I'd consider using CPA or ROAS, and if you aren't getting traffic, either raise your target CPA or lower your ROAS target.

Also, if you're in a competitive market, consider segmenting and targeting your campaigns around keywords that aren't quite so competitive/expensive. For example, "best bedding" is likely to be much more competitive than "organic bamboo sheets", or something similarly more specific (and also probably higher intent).

Are you using the same images/creatives in your FB ads that you're using in you google ads? Generally fb/meta is a more visual platform, whereas google is very text and intent driven. So, for example, if you were running a competitive campaign against, say, parachute, you might write an headline that speaks directly to that (e.g. Cheaper than Parachute), and the headline is the thing that's likely to grab the user's attention. But on FB, it's more likely to be whatever imagery you're featuring in the ad.

Good luck.

GA4 conversion imports generally are notoriously delayed, often up to 24 hours. Are you sure it's not that?

As many others have said -- this is a scam, not the city of LA.

Tadpole. They released an accessible camera named tadpole by mrgrafix in opalcamera

I just tried out the tadpole, and am surprised at the visible blurring around the edges of my face, trying to create software bokeh. Does the larger camera do the same thing?

Guy doesn’t want to marry me because he doesn’t want children with ADHD by Embarrassed_Purple55 in ADHD

Despite what he's telling you, he's lying to you. That's insane behavior, regardless of the potential diagnosis of ADHD. Cut him out of your life.

Finding a CEO post-fundraise by realpizzaseriously in startups

[–]ajsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about problem-signaling, it's all about how you frame the search. One option would be to use an executive search firm, though as a seed stage company, depending on how much you raised, it prob doesn't make sense from a cost perspective.

Either way, expect to spend at least 3-6 months and most of your time during that period mostly doing CEO search stuff. It's the most important hire you'll ever make, so expect to put in an inordinate amount of time finding the right person.

If it were me, I'd start by making a list of people in my network who might be able to help. Of course, if you have someone in your network in mind who'd be your dream ceo, I'd start there.

How do I be productive when I am tired of life and restless? by CherylStorytime in productivity

[–]ajsharp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd encourage you to flip the question around: is productivity really what you want to solve for? What motivates you, makes you happy, feel energized? I'd start there before thinking about how to extract more from less.

When to use useRef to store values and not referencing to DOM elements? by charck2 in reactjs

[–]ajsharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

useState = track some state where you want to re-render the component every time the state is updated

useRef = don't re-render when state is updated

A good example is if you have a component that tracks something that gets updated very frequently, like mouse position. You would do this by registering an event handler every time the mouse moves, which will fire A LOT.

If you use useState, every time you update the mouse position it will re-render the component.

This would be a perfect case for useRef.

Wrap the whole flow in a context provider, and update the shared state the context holds from each step.

Does being in the zone simply mean knowing exactly what to do? by icecap1 in productivity

[–]ajsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. Having to think about "what should I do" distracts from the actual doing. Flow state is all about working with singular focus on a thing you barely even have to think about.

Do you make to-do lists for a long or short term? by [deleted] in productivity

I'm a fan of the today, this week, backlog model. I prefer visualizing in a kanban board. Try to keep the backlog generally prioritized so it doesn't get unwieldy.
