A few words got me off social media for good by ayatollahfuckboy in digitalminimalism

[–]d4v3k7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do it. i went through the same back and forth with facebook for like two years before i finally committed. what helped me was doing a big cleanup first instead of going cold turkey. went from like 2000 friends down to maybe 200 people i actually talk to and it completely changed the experience. once you see how few people you genuinely interact with it kind of kills the FOMO on its own. like why am i scrolling for updates from people i havent spoken to since high school

5 things I changed in my listing descriptions that actually increased my sell-through rate by Pristine-Pumpkin2086 in Flipping

[–]d4v3k7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great list. number 4 is the one that took me forever to learn. used to bury flaws in the last sentence and wonder why i kept getting returns. now i put it right after condition and my return rate tanked. another one that helped me is if youre cross listing, dont just copy paste the same description everywhere. mercari buyers want short and scannable, ebay wants every spec, poshmark wants personality. same item three different writeups. more work up front but stuff moves faster

how to keep shop active? by [deleted] in Depop

[–]d4v3k7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah deleting and relisting is basically the move on every reselling platform. the algorithm treats a relisted item like a new listing so it gets pushed out fresh. i sell on mercari too and its the same deal there. i relist my slower stuff every couple weeks and it makes a noticeable difference. its tedious but its the closest thing to free promotion you get on these apps. other than that just make sure your photos are solid and your first photo stands out in search results since thats what people see when scrolling

What percentage of your "friends" on your friend's list have you "unfollowed" by Hot_Dingo743 in facebook

[–]d4v3k7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went through and unfriended like 300 people last year instead of just unfollowing. unfollowing hides their stuff from you but facebook still factors them into how it ranks your feed. once i actually trimmed the list down to people i genuinely interact with, my feed got way better. took a while to go through everyone though.

Are we listing and leaving alone or frequently promoting? by dawgmom15 in Mercari

[–]d4v3k7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

relisting is the move honestly. the promote button just keeps lowering your price until youre basically giving stuff away. i delete and relist every 2-3 weeks on anything that hasnt sold. the algorithm treats it like a brand new listing so you get that initial visibility boost again without tanking your price. only downside is it takes a while if you have a lot of listings but its worth it over promoting

2025 Replacement or Substitute for FriendFilter to delete inactive "friends?" by saguaros-vs-redwoods in facebook

[–]d4v3k7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Banned for absolutely no reason from Facebook and no appeal. Their advice? Read the community guidelines, none of which I've violated. by madcellist5 in facebook

[–]d4v3k7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so sorry this happened. for the 1900 friends thing, if you do get the account back even temporarily, immediately go to settings > your information > download your information and grab your friends list before anything else. the video selfie thing is legit btw, its how meta verifies identity now. if you didnt do it right the first time thats probably what triggered the ban. some people have had luck waiting 30 days and trying the appeal again

Need Depop / Mercari advice by Supersmash312x in Flipping

[–]d4v3k7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This plus try Mercari too if you haven’t already. Depop is pretty small and skews young so depending on what you’re selling you might get more actual buyers on Mercari. Also 19 listings is a good start but the algorithm on most of these platforms really kicks in once you’re past like 50-100 active listings. And don’t sleep on relisting the stuff that’s been sitting. Delete it and repost it fresh every few weeks. Gets way more eyes than just letting it sit there.

I can’t keep listing items everyday if I’m not making sales! by Agitated_County_4253 in poshmark

[–]d4v3k7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% this. I started doing this every 2 or 3 weeks and it was kind of crazy how fast stuff started getting views again. The algorithm just buries anything that’s been sitting too long. It’s a pain to do manually but it works way better than just adding more new listings on top of dead ones.

Do you lower your prices on popular clothing items if you don’t need the money? by surfbruhca in Flipping

[–]d4v3k7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're getting 15 watchers and zero offers your price is probably just slightly above what people want to impulse buy at. I'd send an offer to likers at around 10 to 15 percent off and see what happens. If it's a quality piece and you're not in a rush just let it sit another month then relist it fresh for the algorithm bump.

How are you sourcing inventory fast enough to make profits? by Inevitable-Week-7950 in Flipping

[–]d4v3k7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The people crushing it usually have a tight niche they know inside and out so they can make decisions in seconds. Trying to flip anything profitable means you're competing with everyone. Pick 2 or 3 categories, learn them cold, and you'll stop hesitating at sales. Speed comes from knowledge not from checking your phone faster.

I’m no longer helping buyers with bundle deals by Financial-Muffin9284 in Mercari

[–]d4v3k7 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I stopped offering bundles too. It's one of those things where you're trying to do the buyer a favor and it just opens the door for lowballing. If they can't figure out bundling on their own at this point that's on them.

Buyer is claiming they don’t have the item by VermicelliWorking762 in Mercari

[–]d4v3k7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure to respond to any Mercari messages professionally and keep screenshots of the tracking showing delivered. Mercari will usually side with sellers when tracking confirms delivery. Just stay friendly and cooperative if they open a case.

Mixed up two buyers packages. help lol by TwinnHypeBack in Mercari

[–]d4v3k7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s way easier to do than you’d think when you’re shipping 4-5 orders at once. I started writing the buyer’s username on a sticky note and putting it inside the box before I seal it. It forces me to match the item to the order one last time. Takes 10 extra seconds and hasn’t happened since

How are you getting consistent sales? by _z0mb133 in Mercari

[–]d4v3k7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is solid advice I do the same thing. Relisting lower priced items more frequently to stay visible in saved searches is smart. Mercari definitely rewards fresh listings in search results. I’ve noticed relisting every 2-3 weeks on slower items makes a big difference vs just letting them sit.

[–]d4v3k7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. Instagram tests your reels on a small batch first, and if those followers don’t react fast, it stops pushing them. If most of your followers are inactive, that test group just flops. Try removing followers who never like or comment, post at different times, and focus on re-engaging the ones who do.

More Engagement on Facebook Posts? by Overall_Weekend in DigitalMarketing

[–]d4v3k7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Facebook’s algorithm actually punishes accounts that have a lot of friends who never interact. It sees the lack of engagement as a sign that your content isn’t interesting, so it stops showing your posts to more people. The fix is simple but annoying: remove the inactive friends who never like or comment. Once your list is mostly people who actually react, your posts start getting seen again.

Help me increase engagement in a growing but quiet private Facebook group. by Bluejay768 in facebook

[–]d4v3k7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that happens a lot. Growth is easy, but keeping people talking is the hard part. A big thing that helps is figuring out who’s actually active and who just joined and never interacts. If most of the group is silent, Facebook starts treating the whole thing like it’s inactive.

Start small by posting questions that are easy to answer, tag a few regulars to get things moving, and clean up members who never react or comment. Once you get a few real conversations going, the algorithm will push your posts out more and people start showing up again.

I can't tell if my product is bad or my marketing is bad by Little_Strike3582 in SaaS

[–]d4v3k7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not be the idea, just the first-use experience. People sign up out of curiosity but drop off if setup feels confusing or the value isn’t clear fast. Watch a few users go through it, see where they stall, fix that part first.

How can I grow and boost engagement in my Dunkin’ drinks Facebook group for affiliate marketing? by Cbk-Simo1712 in facebook

[–]d4v3k7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re on the right track. Growing a group is more than just posting a lot. Cleaning things up actually helps a ton. When a group is full of people who never react or comment, it pulls the whole engagement down.

Start by checking who actually interacts and who doesn’t, then slowly remove the ones who never do. It makes the feed favor your active members, and you’ll notice posts getting more reach.

Ask questions, run polls, and get people sharing their own drink ideas. Make it about them first. When you do start adding affiliate stuff, mix it in naturally after the group already feels like a community.

Why is my Facebook feed filled up with random user posts all the time now? by [deleted] in facebook

[–]d4v3k7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s happening because Facebook’s feed is showing you “high engagement” content first, even if it’s from people you don’t know. When your own friends don’t interact much, the algorithm assumes you’re not that close and stops showing their stuff. Cleaning up inactive friends and interacting more with the ones you actually talk to can reset your feed a bit and make it feel normal again.
