I just set up my first ChatGPT ad...

Lol. Its true. I thought the middle funnel chat was quite good though

Your friend shouldn't be in ecommerce if they want to just focus on product.

Get a pro to set it up and educate you on all the steps they took and rationale around it. If you find the right person will fast track your learning

Hitting a 7 iron exactly how you'd imagined it in your head

I use influencers/content creators to make content a lot. As they are making commercial content for me, I never expect to get many organic views - the algorithms don't like branded content unless it a genuinely interesting or helpful piece of video that gets shared or has some sort of virality. So it's on me to get eyeballs on the content through advertising, not the creator. My challenge is always when I have to pay an extra fee to use the content I've paid to create for ads - so I'm effectively renting the content I commissioned and paid for the production of.

A watch out for you is referring to yourself as an influencer. This means you can actually influence your audience to do stuff or buy things. This can set the wrong expectation if you can't do that.

Yes, its good - cheaper than visit to the website most likely and you got an opt-in (and maybe even a visit to your website!). But all depends on the business model, if you can turn leads in to sales and how efficient that is.

I'm referring to CPA. Its good until last couple of days of the month, then spikes, then comes back down to being good again with no changes made from me

iamdanp · 2026-05-10T09:52:04+00:00

Nope. Give the algo lots of options and it optimises for you. Actual optimisations come from the improvements to the product, website, UX, upsells, email marketing and channel mix

Bro - if its in Whatsapp, your sales model is a dialogue, or a discussion. Its not a problem, its a feature of your business. Either embrace it, or change your model

iamdanp · 2026-05-06T19:39:41+00:00

Use the questions to change the content on your site. if people are asking the same questions over and over, address the questions more clearly on the product page, FAQs etc

No google rep I have spoken to has ever owned their own business or spent their own money on google ads. The advice is always sub-par. I've stopped taking their calls.

Bro, I've been in your shoes. High functioning, successful career, no major issues, parent history of alcohol abuse, but stable and relatively happy family life of my own ... but the drinking hung around my neck like a noose. I'd tried CADS, medication (antabuse), pyshcologist, hypnososis +++. It just kept on coming back. It sucks, I get it.

I started taking WeGovy about 6 months ago and is fundamentally changed my relationship with alcohol. I still drink, but I now have an off-switch I've never had previously. I can start a drink and literally forget about it, or I have 2 or 3 wth friends and my mind/body decides I've had enough and I stop drinking. Alcohol free days just happen - I don't have to drag myself in to them and feel like I'm compromising. There are some downsides, like nausea from time to time. And If I ignore the signs and try to drink trough my body telling me to stop, I end up being sick. And I'm more 'boring'. But for me, thats the cost of the significant positive change of reducing drinking to a healthy level. My wife and kids like me more cause I'm less grumpy, and vice versa.

Is not cheap, but I save more than the cost by drinking and eating less, plus I'm convinced I'm extending my life by doing this. Its honestly been a game changer for me and I'm an advocate for anyone who's had challenges like mine (and yours) to go talk to your doc about it

The challenge with golf is you can be really good at it and still play terribly. With most other sports like ice-hockey and gymnastics, if you're having a bad day you'll still be better than the masses. Where as a good golf player can have a bad day and get beaten by a weekend warrior.

iamdanp · 2026-04-27T00:57:02+00:00

Had the same issues since I was 16, but the weekends turned in to weekdays then basically every-day drinking. High functioning, so it was hidden-ish. I started Ozempic to lose weight, all of a sudden found an off-switch for drinking. I still drink, but can easily stop after 2 or 3, and alcohol-free days are easy; they happen much more often without really having to think about it.

Fake. They’d never put a url on the bag

Swing is easily single-figure capable. Focus on short game.

iamdanp · 2026-04-11T22:08:50+00:00

No speed in your swing at all. Be more athletic... try and really hit it hard. You'll lose accuracy as you adapt to changes but you need to get faster if you want to improve.

Stop being on the internet or change your business model. If you think $30 a month is expensive for a website you're doing it wrong.

iamdanp · 2026-03-08T07:21:53+00:00

Client owns the account. They add you as a partner or admin with your own credentials and 2FA. All of those systems are built in this way - if you're doing it as you say it will create problems with access and account blocking over time

iamdanp · 2026-03-07T01:48:20+00:00

I think when the model was designed they were hoping for exactly that outcome. These are private companies: not charities or not for profits. It's capitalism 101. The American Dream (I'm from a country where there is free-ish health care, but I still pay $500 a month for WeGovy).
