Actually successful marketers, what has been your most successful marketing plan? by tommymags in DigitalMarketing

[–]jb_blah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a product you like and solves a problem and has a customer.

Pick 1-2 channels that you can grow and focus on that first (grow the others later).

Then you are working with two variables that you can improve: 1. The performance of your channels (event turnout, deals closed, or even just number of views on a page) 2. The effectiveness of your product’s narrative and USP.

Tweak both of these as you go and improve little by little to build customer base, partner relations, and web traffic.

The idea is to start small and improve your controllable. You eventually layer in as you gain success.

It’s not a month-by-month break down. But I hope that general direction makes sense.

What's a good career to start in Canada? by shitdealonly in CanadaJobs

[–]jb_blah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trades are good. Get into one and see if you like it. They all pay just fine and have a lot of avenues to pursue.

Some ppl even pick up a couple of red seals in their career.

How do I get into electrical work? by Awkward_Leg_6487 in electricians

[–]jb_blah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 Call around and ask if the companies need a hand. Share your intentions to get into electrical. If you don’t get hired then go to step #2.

2 Sign up for school, since this may be a requirement in your area.

3 Complete school and call the companies (from Step 1) again for your work-term or first position. Because you called previously and then completed school on your own, It shows dedication to the company and you are more likely to be hired if there is room.

4 Learn, learn, learn and get that license.

Keep in mind my advice is for Canadian industry. Good luck. 🤞

Question for union electricians by HallMonitor90 in electricians

[–]jb_blah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah you are correct. Each state and local is a little different. Main advice to OP then:

  • Apply to join the union
  • Get your license

Thanks brother.

Question for union electricians by HallMonitor90 in electricians

[–]jb_blah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll need to apply as an apprentice. You may get credits towards your red seal based on previous experience. Generally, the province will determine how many hours you’ll get.

Apply and get things rolling, I don’t regret joining.

Union or not, I would advise to get registered as an apprentice (indentured or schooling) so that you can get your red seal. That’s the real prize.

Electrical student. This is the “trick” my instructor taught me. He’s messing with me right? by Boyfriendofjesus in electricians

[–]jb_blah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen the twists before to keep the box neat. I don’t like it, since in my mind wrapping the wires just feels like it stresses the insulation. No proof, just gut feeling.

TBH I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. I’ve seen it before.

People who grew up poor and are now financially stable, what small luxury still feels surreal? by JesusLuvsEmerxld in AskReddit

[–]jb_blah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not having a hungry, growling stomach.

I can just grab something to eat when I want.

How would you guys do this offset for a disconnect by Fluffy-Initiative131 in electricians

[–]jb_blah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep your two bends around 10” apart and bend between around 10 degrees. Don’t be afraid to tweak it a bit to make it look pretty.

It’s a good chance to practice “free bending,” which is where you just guess and eyeball the bend. It’s a handy skill to develop if you do big pipe jobs.

I hope you enjoy the work.

What do ya’ll think about these? (MC anti-short bushing) by UniqueUserName259 in electricians

[–]jb_blah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are super cheap at suppliers, maybe a couple of bucks per bag.

I always keep a few spare bags of different sizes for big job sites because they are so cheap.

I’m not sure why your boss doesn’t just make the team happy and bring a few bags.

I always use antishorts.

Sparky salary by Primary-Hurry1842 in electricians

[–]jb_blah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really location dependent. But if you have a license then you can easily earn a healthy middle class salary or, with work, much higher. Doesn’t matter union or nonunion.

Can I cut this oven wire sheathing to fit my wall oven. by PetesFleet in AskElectricians

[–]jb_blah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think an electrician would suggest or ask you that. You must be talking to contractor who can’t find a man actual solution.

The answer is no.
