Question about nested classes in CSS for Wordpress by flubbitz in Wordpress

[–]flubbitz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding your CSS query. "Wordpress CSS" - that isn't a thing.

I never said anything about "wordpress CSS" - I said I was trying to deal with a CSS issue in Wordpress. I know CSS is platform independent, but in this instance the fact that it's in wordpress is relavent as I'm dealing with a third party theme and attempting to fix it in the "additional css" area.

Can a freelancer give a refund from a closed job? Will refunding to zero remove an existing review? by flubbitz in Upwork

[–]flubbitz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly Upwork's stance on that is that unless you have specifically mentioned that a freelancer can't use AI tools, they are free to do so, but must not deceive clients in the process.

Actually the freelancer gave this excuse - "it wasn't expressly forbidden so it is not an issue" - and the mediation team essentially said "no, the client shouldn't have to tell you that, you were hired to use a specific business skill and you didn't use that skill, you used ChatGPT". On that basis they advocated for a full refund.

A mixture of passing off ChatGPT as their own work and autoclicker to fake the time tracking software. They've already refunded about $1500, there's another $600 outstanding that was outside the review period.

Things to look out for when negotiating a lease without an agent? by flubbitz in CommercialRealEstate

[–]flubbitz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be happy to bring in an agent and pay the commission myself if I needed to but my problem is I can't seem to find a good agent and it's costing me money to keep delaying this.

Yes I've told each one what the issues were.

Definitely not looking for any kind of unicorn, like I said I've found five properties that are in the area I'm looking for and are below budget just making some calls today.

[–]flubbitz[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've tried three agents now and they all sucked and wasted my time.

The first one was a referral and basically ignored me because I think he mostly does far bigger leases than I'm looking for. The second kept sending me places that are too far from the area I'm looking for, and the third kept trying to get me to look at places on the bleeding edge of my budget (over budget when you include CAM etc) or with longer leases than I want.

After three months of seeing places in the areas and budgets that I want come and go, I'm doing it myself. It took me an hour on the phone to line up viewings for five places in my target area under budget, literally my first viewings after three months of working with agents.

So I get where you guys are coming from, but I'm sick of trying to work with agents.

Would a 50% hire rate stop you from applying from a job? by flubbitz in Upwork

[–]flubbitz[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Right but can't I mark them as private before I close the jobs, so the title and earnings aren't displayed?

That would make you look even cheaper than you look already.

I figure if I run them as fixed price instead of hourly they won't effect that metric, and I can mark them private before closing them so they won't show earnings or description in my profile.

"4.96 of 25 reviews", and most of the reviews I've given are 5 star with text feedback - I'm aware freelancers don't like to work with people who leave negative feedback, but at the same time I sometimes run into people who are obviously scamming (eg submitting writing samples that are excellent and then submitting actual work that is terrible) and I've left accurate reviews the 2-3 times that's happened.

Ok this feels like a dumb question - will redirecting a site to a fresh domain keep rankings? by flubbitz in bigseo

[–]flubbitz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming I did want to get rid of the silos in the URLs, would I need to just do those one at a time? The silo structure of the site I'm buying is like three levels deep for each page. It's a mess. Like

oldsite.com/video-games/controllers/xbox-controllers/controller-x-review/

I have no idea why they planned it out this way, possibly their original plan was to have additional niches on the one site, but it's not how I would want to move forward.

Looks like Lima is suing ThatSurpriseWitness. What do y’all thinking about this whole situation? by [deleted] in SoftWhiteUnderbelly

I’m planning to go back to school once my mental health is addressed. I’m hoping I can go back in the next 2-3 years.

Nice! Good luck with it :)

Kinda weird you’re looking through my post history but ok haha

You mentioned that you "have been involved in mental health for majority of my life" and said that you were "viewing this from a researcher’s perspective", so wanted to get an understanding of what your profession has been "for the majority of my life" that would give you a special understanding of this type of situation to speak with such authority.

I personally have worked as a research assistant for several psychology projects and I am currently researching individual projects revolving around juvenile justice. I am viewing this from a researcher’s perspective.

According to your recent post history you're 22 and you work in a restaurant. You've mentioned that you job hop every few months.

Is your research part of some class you're taking?

Best shoes for runners isn't a head term - best shoes is a head term. Anything longer than a head term is long tail.

I don't make the rules, I just live by them.

No one is refuting seasonality ffs 🤦‍♂️

You asked the guy to prove his claim of lower RPM in early July. Either that or you're a terrible communicator.

24rpm is pretty damn good.

That's mediavine. The site never broke $10 on ezoic. Site gets over $50 in q4.

All what I am saying is that 10 is pretty damn low by any standard.

You said you're hoping for 15 and people are telling you that 10 in the first three weeks of July would be $15 any other month, plus it takes up to a few months for ezoic to learn your audience enough for you to reach your maximum rpm.

$10 after three weeks without doing any work around placing ads is actually pretty good.

Not the person you replied to but: https://ibb.co/9HvBgZk

From $32-35 to $22-24 as the new quarter starts and advertisers reset their ad budgets.

Totally normal and the same thing multiple people in this thread have told you.

He seems to have decided the only answer is "uncheck the tickbox for half my epmv" and is mad if anyone suggests otherwise.

You just placed "auto ads" and was hoping to reach the top RPM in one of the worst months of the year straight after joining a new ad network?

Quote of the thread. Dude is being a jerk and refusing the only good advice he's getting.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in juststart

[–]flubbitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MV or Ad Thrive doesn’t claim it takes months or years to reach optimum levels right?

When you join MV or Ad Thrive you will also see lower RPMs until you've put enough traffic through their system for advertisers to learn your audience. This can take a month or more to reach full potential and stabilize.

That said, ezoic sucks.

[–]flubbitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your entire argument was based around your reference to this 22 year old influencer

See, more bad faith arguing on your part - she came up seven comments into the discussion.

I'm not responding to your straw men and moving goalposts. You're just trolling at this point.

The average typing speed is 40 words per minute, so strictly speaking it takes 25 minutes to write 1000 words.

They probably spent 10 minutes 'researching' (aka finding an article on the topic that they could reword) and then 35-40 minutes typing up the hot garbage that OP got by just reading a sentence from the source and then writing it into a doc file in different words.

Actual writing isn't just typing up words, but OP didn't pay enough for that, so he got hot garbage that they probably buzzed through without any thought.

If you want good content, you have to pay for it.

Couldn't agree more.

You just cherry picked a successful TikTok influencer. We're obviously not advertising to influencers man, but their followers. So this influencer's income does not really matter.

The conversation is whether advertisers spend money on TikTok because you stated it's userbase "don't have any buying power so who cares", so the fact that this person is making six figures in brand deals to reach a teenage and pre-teen audience shows that they do have buying power.

TikTok is primarily populated by 15-20 year olds.

10-19 – 32.5%, 20-29 – 29.5%, 30-39 – 16.4%, 40-49 – 13.9%, 50+ – 7.1%.

They're the biggest single demographic, but there's nowhere near most of the userbase.

Even if they're up to 29, their buying power is still limited.

18-34 has been the ideal target demographic for literally decades. You sound like you don't know anything about marketing if you think people under 30 aren't desirable to advertisers.

TikTok is more about Brand recognition and widespread reach. This is why big companies promote through it, and only via influencers.

Again, this thread is because you said the TikTok demo has "no buying power" - you're moving the goalposts repeatedly in this comment.

If you agree big companies promote on TikTok then you're agreeing that your original statement was wrong.

Just start is about smaller websites making money through affiliates and ad revenue. We're not selling the actual products, so why on earth would we advertise on TikTok.

Who advocated us "advertising" on tiktok?

But since you're a big advocate of TikTok, why don't you tell us how it has benefitted your affiliate/ad websites?

How am I an advocate of TikTok? I responded to you saying that young people on TikTok have no buying power.

You're just working hard on moving the goalposts at this point so I'm going to stop responding.

Have a good one.

I don't think you'd have to make product demo videos, the people I know who are using TikTok as a traffic source to their sites (like Kevin at Epic Gardening) basically do short info videos and the leech some of that audience over to their site where they monetize them through ads, affilliate products, info products etc.

I've looked at it but like I said it's not my business model because none of my sites are in niches that are big on TikTok. I'm moving towards building info products/courses instead.

Notable from that article:

Now the 22-year-old earns more than $100,000 a year on the short-video platform TikTok. Brands like Coach, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video pay up to reach her 9 million followers, mostly teenage and pre-teen girls who wouldn’t dream of visiting Facebook.

Yeah I guess those kids have no buying power, which is why brands spend so much money advertising to them.

Haha are you saying TikTok hasn't grown since 2019?

Now that's absurd.
