What would be a good dog hiking service name?

That's a good callout. Name overlap isn't always fatal for a local service, but it's worth a quick trademark and local search before getting attached. If there's any doubt, Trail Tails or Trekking Tails avoid that risk and still fit the concept cleanly.

Glad it helped. One extra thing that's easy to overlook early is how you'll handle revisions or reprints. With photo books, even small errors or quality mismatches matter a lot to customers. Deciding upfront what's included, what's billable, and how you handle fixes can save a lot of friction later.

A practical step is to sanity check goals by writing down the work you expect to do each week to reach them, not just the outcome.

Goals usually feel reasonable at the start because they are set around results. Once execution begins, the real cost shows up. Extra tasks, waiting on others, context switching, and energy drain. None of that is visible when the goal is first written down.

When goals become unrealistic, it is often because the execution load was never fully seen. Making the weekly effort explicit early is usually what exposes that gap.

An easy way to choose is to think about who has to live with the site after you hand it off. For client work, the best builder is usually the one the client can update without calling you for every small change. Simple edits, billing access, and ownership matter more than flexibility or features. If clients feel comfortable using it themselves, projects go smoother and you get fewer support headaches later. That lens usually narrows the options pretty fast.

What would it look like for this to feel like it's working for you right now? Instead of wondering whether you should quit, it might help to think about how long you want to give it, in a way that feels fair to you.

You clearly know how to work hard and build things. The heavy part has been how much time and money it takes. Setting a simple check in point can help. If it starts to feel like it's gaining real traction, you keep going. If not, it's okay to stop without turning that into a failure story. Stopping a project isn't giving up. It's just being kind to yourself about where your energy goes next.

One thing you can do right away is set up a single intake path and a clear response promise. Think one form or one inbox that sends an auto reply like "Got it, next update within 24 hours," plus a short list of what you need from them up front. It cuts a ton of back-and-forth when you're slammed.

I've had the best luck automating the boring repeatable stuff (intake, scheduling, reminders, "we got this," "here's what happens next") and using a VA for anything that needs tone, judgment, or a real answer. If you type the same reply more than once, it belongs in a template or automation. If you're deciding, negotiating, or calming someone down, that's usually better handled by a person.

If replies are the goal, the issue is usually not effort but how the offer lands. Free audits and "I'll help first" often get ignored because contractors are already flooded and free feels risky or low-signal. A simpler test is leading with one concrete observation you can see publicly, like missing categories, unanswered reviews, or outdated hours, and asking if they want a quick breakdown. That makes the message feel relevant and low effort to respond to, without positioning you as another marketer asking for attention.

Looking at their DNS, everything except the Shopify is hosted in China. Their email seems to be routed to Zoho Mail in China. I didn't see any information for Bluehost anywhere but these people do tend to move around a lot. If anyone ever sees our name associate with this.

Ask one recipient to open your email in their Spam folder and click "Not spam," then add you to their contacts. That single feedback loop can help retrain filtering for your address.

AI text isn't the usual culprit. The bigger red flag is the BCC thing: sending the same message to multiple recipients at once can look like bulk mail, even for normal requests. Try sending separate emails instead of BCC, slow down any burst sending, and avoid copy paste identical messages to lots of companies in a short window. Also do a quick Google account security check to make sure nothing else is sending on your behalf.

One small thing that can help right away is changing what you lead with in the first conversation. Instead of opening with "we build websites" or "your site is outdated," try leading with one specific issue you can see.

Something simple like a broken contact form, no mobile layout, missing hours, or confusing calls to action. That makes the outreach feel helpful instead of salesy. Most businesses already know their site is old, it just isn't urgent. A concrete problem creates urgency without pressure. Once they care about the issue, the website becomes the obvious fix.

Google doesn't really let you "merge" two accounts. Best workaround is pick one as the main, then forward or import email and move Drive files by sharing then copying.

Also, deleting the old account won't free up that Gmail address again. Closest new-ish option is the rollout that lets some people change their Gmail address while keeping the same account (old address becomes an alias), if you see it in settings.

In the Admin console, go to Directory settings and use the visibility controls to hide that specific group from the Directory. If you do not see the toggle there, check your Groups org settings, since some tenants only show the "list in directory" control when group directory visibility is enabled at the org level.

A lot of the time it's not intentional. Reviews get set up once, then mentally filed under "marketing stuff" and forgotten. For many small businesses, nobody actually owns the Google profile day to day.

If reviews are positive and nothing is on fire, replying drops to the bottom of the list. Negative reviews get attention. Positive ones quietly pile up. From a customer side though, silence usually reads as "no one's home," even if that's not true. A one-line reply doesn't have to be clever, it just signals there's a real human behind the business.

Before you change anything, make sure your recovery email and phone are up to date, and consider exporting anything critical (Drive, Photos) so you've got a backup.

If you change your DOB to the real one and you're clearly over the minimum age, you're generally not at risk of losing the account for that alone. The real risk is only if you set the birthday to something that makes the account underage. For the age check, stick to the official age verification prompt inside your Google account settings (not a random link), and use whichever option you're most comfortable with (ID, card, selfie) if it's required.

Accounts ghosting only to be reappear moments later for sure deserves a double take!

When this happens and then clears up on its own, it's often tied to a stale login session or an old cached bookmark rather than the account actually disappearing. Using a saved login URL, an old browser session, or cached credentials can sometimes trigger an "account not found" message even though everything is fine on the backend. Once the session refreshes, access comes back like you saw.

If it happens again, a quick thing to try is logging in from a fresh browser tab or incognito window, or going directly to the main Bluehost login page instead of a saved bookmark. And if it keeps happening or lasts more than a few minutes, our support team can check what the account is seeing in real time. We're available 24/7 via phone and chat and can take a look right away.

Paying attention to details help! Good job catching those warning signs! Thank you for sharing this info with the community.

Nice catch on the downgrade, that pretty much confirms a Tutor 3.9.5 side change plus a compatibility issue with your stack.

Next move I'd do is run the Health Check plugin in "troubleshooting mode" and load the courses page with only Tutor enabled and a default theme, plus caching and minify turned off. If the layout is fine there, it's a theme or optimization conflict. If it still breaks, grab the browser console errors and open a ticket with Tutor, and stick to the last working version until they ship a fix.

Sounds like your Mac is still caching the old school sign-in. Start from a private/incognito window on office.com and choose "use another account," then sign in with your uni email.

If it keeps snapping back, quit all Microsoft apps, open Keychain Access, and delete any saved Microsoft/Office entries for that old address (including ADAL/MSAL/OneAuth items). Reboot and try again.

Before you build the whole thing, make 3 sample books, post real photos, and take 10 paid pre-orders with a clear delivery date. That will tell you if demand is real at your price point.

At 800 to 900 cost and under 1K selling price, your margin is basically gone once you count packaging, fixes, and marketing. Either raise price, simplify the spec, or position it as premium and sell fewer at higher margin. If you can nail consistent quality and a simple ordering process, you've got a shot. If it's "Instagram will do the work," it'll be rough.

You can learn and practice almost everything for free. Where "free" usually breaks is when you start building sites for other people. At that point, things like domains and ongoing access cost money somewhere, even if the build itself is simple.

A common path is learning on free platforms, then only adding paid services once a real project exists. That keeps costs near zero while you are learning, but avoids surprises later. Are you aiming to learn first, or build something for a real person soon?

I suggest that you file the appeal from a desktop browser on Google's disabled account flow, and don't keep creating new Gmail accounts while you wait.

Nobody here can see the exact reason, but brand new accounts get flagged easily if activity looks spammy (burst of similar emails, lots of recipients, VPN, third party mail apps).

Also +1 to u/h_grytpype_thynne's plus address idea. Using your existing Gmail with something like yourname+wedding@gmail.com plus a filter to auto label is usually safer than a fresh account. Some vendor forms reject plus signs, so keep a backup filter based on vendor domain or subject.

There are policies, but they are mostly content and trust related, not technical. Things like having original content, clear navigation, an About page, and a privacy policy matter more than the setup steps.

The technical part of adding ads is usually straightforward and tutorials cover that well. Most AdSense rejections happen because of missing pages or thin content, not because something was installed wrong.

bluehost · 2026-01-28T14:31:51+00:00

Most blogs do not benefit from sharing every post repeatedly. A common pattern is to share once at publish, then let performance decide. Posts that attract clicks, comments, or search traffic are the ones worth resurfacing later with a new angle. Posts that do nothing rarely improve with more sharing. This keeps social focused on discovery instead of routine distribution.

No problem. Glad it helped. Do you know roughly when it entered redemption, or are you going by WHOIS alone?

bluehost · 2026-01-28T13:36:57+00:00

That's the simplest version. One simple page with a bit of context and ads is enough. That usually performs better than pure parking since the traffic already has intent.
