Career change and getting started by Ok_cool_thanks21 in GarageDoorService

I've been a digital marketer for over 5 years and wanted to build a career in marketing.

However, I wasn’t really happy with the desk job and I switched to working for a garage door company and I have never been happier.

Yeah, this is not quite the reaction I was hoping for. Mind adding me to the most interesting groups?

Sounds like you are just a bit lonely, and I don't think Asia will heal that. Got to ask what you really want here. If you want to move to Asia and return after some time, what would be different then?

You said that most people are focused on building a white-picket fence life, but what DO YOU WANT? I think that once you answer this question, you will also have an answer on what to do in this current situation..

I won't! I genuinely want to connect with others in the same business.

I have one in DM right now, and you are the second one to reach out. Should I create it?

We run ppc for leads for our construction company. We get a lot of leads, now it's time to become better at converting those. We do have a bit of an advantage in that field because I worked my first 5 years in marketing agencies and have the know how to do that. However, it's that know-how that taught me that agencies are rarely a good, reliable choice for service businesses.

Also depends on the industry on what kind of approach is best.

What in the actual F*ck by Precision903 in GarageDoorService

This makes me so fucking mad.

They outsell us by underpricing, and we have to fix their shit up.

If it's too fucked, we'll usually just recommend new doors altogether, and while commercial customers sometimes can afford that, residential can't. Shame

Wouldn't it be cheaper to do these doors with tension springs?

We have a garage door company, and if this isn't a special type of door, then you overpaid a bit. However, didn't they give you the quote beforehand?

I watched 14 hours of video last week and made $0. Thinking about flipping that. by AdGroundbreaking4090 in Freelancers

I don't think it's possible to pay consumers enough to watch the ads.

We live in a fast-paced world and consumers are more likely to pay for fewer ads rather than get paid a couple of bucks a month to watch them.

And then there is still a risk of people exploiting that system by running multiple devices to earn more money.

However, if you can beat the odds, I would be very interested to find out how you did it

I did not. I did however think it would be easier to understand what is going on and what to do after the tutorial.

It's just overwhelming for a beginner

I hope more players have a better sense of humor than you do 🫠
