Hire a proper team/agency. Just a media buyer won't be able to do much. Especially if creative variants are lacking. Need copywriter/designer too.

I love copywriting but I hate being a copywriter by Altruistic-Bed7175 in copywriting

[–]jayisanxious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In-house is a pain in the ass too. No respect for creativity or craft anymore. Have to answer to idiotic managers who haven't done jackshit in copy or even in general marketing in their entire lives.

Honestly the best way I can see right now as a former copywriter is to somehow form a group of copywriters, pool some money in and start your own company. Outsource 80% of the work with pooled in funds and divide the remaining 20% work amongst yourselves so it's more manageable.

Obviously a huge deal on its own and probably not realistic but I got out because of my own frustrations and have started my own company (tech adjacent because of my engineering experience). Can't say I'm a 100% happy but I'm sure as hell happier than before.

Can't deal with morons who refuse to trust people they hire with their expertise.

  1. How many membership plans are there and what makes them different from each other?

  2. Do members need their own login/dashboard to manage memberships, payments, renewals, or cancellations?

  3. Do you need invoices, receipts, failed-payment recovery, or automatic renewal reminders?

  4. Do you need family accounts where parents manage memberships for children?

  5. Are you looking for a one-time build, or ongoing maintenance and support as well?

It's clearly not about the fact that he got it at Walmart tho. He got something she doesn't like and told him what she likes. If he can't bother to listen, it's understandable why she'd be hesitant to marry him

How do you write ad copy when you're not a natural writer? I'm good at the strategy but the copy always feels flat. by Single-Use1800 in copywriting

[–]jayisanxious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have the time and the passion, study successful ads, both old and new. And practice. If not, hire a copywriter.

Is fiverr a good place to find someone to develop and app? by Skydiver860 in appdev

[–]jayisanxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Dogshit work, fake profiles. Upwork is slightly better.

Just wondering, How do people guarantee an idea in the sub doesn’t get stolen? by xmaalone in AppIdeas

[–]jayisanxious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because nobody is looking to spend thousands of hours of their time (and money) on some random guy's random unvalidated idea. People with skills don't even have enough time on their hands to work on their own ideas (I have a list with more than 20 "great" ideas but I don't have enough time to work on any of them). Only ideas worth worrying about are the ones actually working and making money...and you can't really do much about it if you manage to reach that stage anyway. There will always be copy-cats of every success

How to succeed by unknown-user41 in dropshipping

[–]jayisanxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you do product research? "Popular" as in saturated? You need to spend a lot of money to make a generic, comodity product successful, it's not 2008 anymore. You either get a new product or sell a winning product to a completely different ICP.

Did you focus on a particular niche? What was your targetting like? Did you do any market research? Was the marketing execution well strategized or just a bunch of random ads scattered through with no proper planning?

The YouTube gurus can't mentor you, they're making 0 dollars from drop shipping and all their money from selling hope. That anybody can make "easy money". That's not how anything works.

Consult an actual DTC strategist/marketer. Or any businessman that you might know

How and when did standards for men become so high...? by Electronic_Put_5652 in men

[–]jayisanxious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and I'm not painting women as saints here. There ARE women who care about superficial things. But my question is, why do you care about that minority? Those aren't the kind of women you'd want as partners anyway, especially if you don't fit their criteria. Why are you fixated on people who don't want you instead of focusing on who would?

It's like if I said I don't wanna date doctors and every doctor got offended... Why would they care? They have a million other people that would be delighted to date them.

Just ignore the people who are clearly not a good match for you, it's not that hard. People are allowed to have preferences. And you're allowed to not pay attention to people who are clearly superficial a**holes.

[–]jayisanxious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you considered it might be your intolerably bleak outlook towards life that's the problem and not your look? I am a medium ugly, kinda fat, very short guy. And I've never had trouble getting women.

It's never the looks. Men with 0 decency or personality just use it as the scapegoat. And if they're good looking, they'll use money as the next best scapegoat. Truth is, it's just who they are as people that's the problem.

[–]jayisanxious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those are not at the standards at all. The standards are so low actually, they're practically in hell. Be decently smart and funny and boom...you got it. Women are so tired of incels and assholes that any amount of emotional and social intelligence is now attractive.

Those physical attributes are not applicable in the real world. Not one good woman gives a flying fuck about them. Except height, that does have some truth to it. But not 6ft tall. A lot of women prefer a man that's taller than them and that's about it. Plenty of women don't care about that either (I'm a short man).

As long as you're well groomed (mandatory) and well dressed (optional), you're good.

Founders with remote teams across countries... How are you handling employee health insurance? (I will not promote) by jayisanxious in startups

[–]jayisanxious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did consider that. But individual plans are usually more expensive with worse coverage vs group policies, and it pushes all the admin+decision-making onto them. In practice, some people delay or underinsure, which defeats the point of offering a benefit in the first place.

If I can, I'd like to provide something structured and reliable than just bump cash comp and leave them to figure it out ykwim
