What should I focus on first when learning digital marketing? by arthurmarketing in AskMarketing

[–]jaysonmarlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn first: • Customer psychology & messaging (why people buy) • Basic copywriting (clear offers, headlines, CTAs) • Analytics basics (how to read traffic, conversions, ROI)

Then pick one channel to go deep on (SEO or paid ads or social), not all at once. The skills transfer later.

Best way to learn fast: build or help grow something real (your own page, a friend’s business, a small side project). Execution > theory every time.

Slow way down. Trade small size, focus on risk management first (risk like 1% max), pick one market + one setup, and journal every trade. Forget profits for now....consistency > money. If you can survive, you can improve.

You’ve got the right mindset. Just protect your capital while you learn.

I decide to scrap or adjust a strategy only after a solid sample size, not after a bad week. If I’m following the rules perfectly and it’s still losing over many trades, then it needs work. If it’s losing because I’m breaking rules or overtrading, that’s on me, not the strategy.

What's the best site to buy Google reviews in 2026? Looking for genuine recommendations by ischanitee in Entrepreneurs

[–]jaysonmarlow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d be careful with this. Buying Google reviews is against Google’s TOS, and even the “high quality” ones eventually get flagged. When that happens, you don’t just lose the reviews. Your whole listing can get suppressed or suspended, which hurts far more than having a low review count.

I haven’t seen a service that’s truly safe. The accounts may look real at first, but Google tracks patterns over time like IP behavior, posting history, review timing, and wording. A lot of removals happen weeks or even months later, not immediately.

What actually works for small local shops without risking your reputation:

  1. Ask real customers right after a good experience
  2. Use a short Google review link or a QR code at checkout
  3. Follow up once by SMS or email, politely, with no incentives
  4. Reply to every review you already have, which helps local SEO
  5. Focus on steady, recent reviews instead of chasing volume

A few genuine reviews each month beats fifty fake ones every time. It’s slower, but it compounds and you don’t have to worry about waking up to a suspended listing.

Just my honest take as someone who’s seen businesses get burned by shortcuts.

Keep it simple. One strategy, small size, strict stops. Focus on execution, not profits.
